As a very important source of strength
and security, cherish public credit. One
method of preserving it is to nse it as
sparingly as possible; avoiding occasions
of expense by cultivatinx peace, but re-
membering also that timely disbursements
10 prepare for danger frequently prcven
much greater disbursements TO repel ii :
avoiding likewise the accumulation Of
debt, not only by Summing occasions Of
expense, but by vigorous exertions In time
of peace to discharge the debts which nm
avOidable wars may have occasioned, NOT

burden which we ourselves ought to bear.

If an investigation of the elections of 1876 is
entered upon It should not be limited. The
frauds In Oregon and the intimidation in
Mississippi are as proper subjects for inquiry
as the alleged frauds in Louisiana and Flori-
da. That the investigation shall be full and
fair is all that Republicans ask. That the
Democrats do not desire a full and fair inves-

TELEGRAPH SUMMARY.

There is decidedly conservative feeling in
Congress concerning the Chinese Question
This finds expression i'll a project to instruct
the President to invite the cooperation of the
Chinese and British Empires to cooperate
with our Government in an effort to restrict
the Coolie trade. Senator Sargent has writ
ten brief upon the subject from which the
following is an extract:
We may summarize this whole matter by
saying that the United States Government,
by virtue of It's sovereignty, has that right of
self preservation and has a duty to exercise
its powers; that protection includes the pres
ervatiOn of its people from influences in
furious to their happiness, curtalling the
necessaries of life, or interfering with their
laudable, innocent engagements; that it is
bound to exercise these powers for the benefit
of its own people, where necessary, at the ex-
peDse of the convenience of the people of
other nations, and that Congress is the pos
SCISSOR of constitutional power, by the passage
of law, to abrogate or modify treaties. This
power has been frequently exercised by Con
gress, and its action upheld by the Executive
and Judicial branches of the Government. 1t
is not the purpose of this brief to state the
cised, but simply to show that it exists We
assume that the committee have full light
upon the great evils affecting the Western
States and Territories from the influx of vast
numbers of Asiatics, who do not come as or
binary immigrants, or with purpose of max
ing the United States their home, who are
alien i'll every respect and remain SO, and are
an lndIgGstIble non aSSmllatIve mass IN our
body polite We merely point out that Con-
gress possesses power and is bound by duty to
provide remedy for such evils.
This, like all of Mr. Sargent's utterances,
has the rare merits of cogency and directness
of statement
The bill extending the time of the COM
pletion of the n p. r. r. for ten years, has
been reported
A test case which comes from Maryland is
to be determined by the Supreme Court. The
gist of it is, May colored man practice law

GETTING DE1TER.-The White Pine News
of Saturday has the following concerning the
condition of the man who lately had his hand
blown off at the Eberhardt mine:
Many of our readers will be pleased to
learn that Mr.. W. S. Grey, who several
weeks since was blown up in the Eberhardt
mine, and received very serious injuries,
necesitating the amputation of the left hand,
is fast recovering from his injuries. Iester-
day we called to see him, and found him easy.
The injuries to his right hand and face are
entirely healed and the left arm, from which
the hand was amputated, is also doing well.
No doubt skillful surgical treatment and good
nursing have saved Mr.. Grey's life In few
weeks We think he will be able to be out
again.

that she married David P. Rickeyon the 3Oth

has been guilty of bigamy. About 2 O'Clock

Some Facts from q Practical
Agriculturist.
Editor Florida Aqricultawist

Editor Florida AqricultatriSt:
I have frequently been asked by
citizens ef the community, Why I did
not give through the columns of the
AGR1oULTURrsT. some of my expert
ences in orange culture and Florida
farming, gathered from long resi-
dence and extensive travels i'll every
part of the State. l hope they will
ascribe my silence hitherto rather
to my modesty than Indifference. l
have never been affected with the
disease which Horace ascribes to
scribblers and which he calls cdcoethes
Scri6endS, and have rather an aversion
to seeing my name in print; and yet
whenever l have anything to write
l never dodge behind an assumed
or tactitious name. Other writer's,
such as Mason and Fowler, have so
thoroughly written up the orange
trees, that little new can be said. So
I shall content myself in this article
to pointing out certain errors that l
see going the rounds of the papers
by way of warning. The first | will
mention is the use of kerosene on
trees. Mr.. Harrison Jones killed
one of his finest trees by pouring
small quantity of the oil at the roots
to distroy a nest of ants. The tree
withered and died in very few days
1 tried the same experiment on the
branches of some small trees and
either killed or seriously injured the
whole lot. Ley, either from ashes or
the concentrated, is equally effective.
cheap, and makes a good fertilizer
when it drips on the ground. The
soap remedy is also a good one. But
better plan is to destroy the ants
OUT of your grove and not have any
insects to contend with.
l often hear it recommended, to
pen hog around an orange tree. 1
once killed several fine cherry trees
by this experiment and have not
tried it on the orange, but a Mr.. Smith
of Manatee has to deplore the loss of
several fine bearing trees from this
cause. The manure of the hog is
certainly excellent, but it will be
