Mapurinp Inv the Ancient Romans.

I Manuring by the Ancient Romans
The dung of animals was particularly
esteemed by the Romans for enriching
their soil. Study" says Cato, "to
have large dunghill." They assiduously
collected it, and stored it in covered
pits, SO as to check the escape of the
drainage. They sowed pulverized
pigeons dung and the like over their
crops, and mixed it with the surface soil
by means of the sarcle or hoe. They
were aware of the benefit of mixing to-
gether earth of opposite quantities, and
Of sowing lupines and plowing them in
while green. They burnt the stubble
upon the ground, and even collected
shrubs and the like for the similar pur-
pose of enriching the soil with their
ashes. Pliney also mentions that lime
was employed. as fertilizer in Gaui,
and marls in the same country and
Britain, but we can only surmise thence
that they were also probably employed
by the Romans.

Fifteen Hundred Savages Routed.

SAN FRANCISCO, June 2S.-In the

the latter are reported to have had

The Indians were not aware of the
presence Of the soldiers, and their
stock was unguarded. Maj. Bernard,
addressing bis troops, Informed them
taht they "were close to the enemy
and could whip them" He charged
his men not to retreat; if they did he
said they would be shot, and they
might as well die by shots fired by
savages as by our men. The soldiers
went silently forward and attacked
the savage force, which was three
times greater than ours. When with

the order was given to charge. Capt.
McGregor's company was near at
hand, and they charged also. The
savages fled in dismay. Large num-
bers of them were killed. A single

They are all anxious for fight. The
body of one soldier captured by the

troops. Many of the hosti!es were
wounded. Colonel Perry's company
as well as all the troops engaged, aye

It seems generally to be conceded
that Earl Beaconsfeld has won great
victories, and thst England has gain
ed great prestige by the concessions
wrested from Russia in the assemb-
linz of the Congress, in the submits
sion of the whole treaty to its discus
sions, and in the reduction Of the
Cars demands upon many essen
tiais. Although the friends of Bea
conStield are tossing up their caps a
great deal and huzzaing over these
achievements, it is hard to see that
they are Of solid character. The
victories of Beaconsfeld seem to be
more Of form than Of substance, as
Turkey, in the depths of its humilia-
ton, feels too keenly. In fact, the
friendship of England has been more
fatal to Turkey than the hostility OF
Russia. The San StefanO treaty was
more lenient to the conquered Turk
than the decision of the Congress is
likely to be. In brief, the Tul kish
empire disappears ingloriously.

The utilization of DR.. Modelling
with the German socialists seems to
be pretty well made out, and it is
known that this extreme party had
a distinct object to serve in putting
the kind-hearted old Emperor out of
the way. They liked him well
enough, but wished to have him as
sassinated to show their repyobation
Of the system which he represented.
AS the Berlin correspondent OF the
London Times says:
according to them, alb She evil
springs from the sacrifice of Industry
and agriculture to an exaggerated
military system. The late wars have
created class of men of no fixed
their bread by labor as formerly, and
who, by precept and example,
spread bad habits among the labor
ing classes of the nation. Since the
last victories of Germany industry
and agriculture have been neglected
and have suffered.
agriculture has become less pro-
ductive, and industry can no longer
make head against foreign compe-
tition. This state of things they
maintain, is to be reformed by col
lective labor, by cooperation, by the
creation of national factories, and the
employment in them of all the val
ued and available arms of Germany
But to put this remedy into execu-
ton the present military situation
must be altered. Germany, as l
have heard socialists say, must be
unbarracked. When Germany is re-
lieved of this plague, which carries
off her greatest source of wealth, her
strong arms, and her youth, she will
return to labor and prosper again.
The barracks must be converted into
manufactures, and industrial armies
must replace their present tenants,
who consume without producing and
are fed by the labor of Others"
1t is quite possible that in this
country also, the late war has created
ga class of men of no fixed occupa'
ton" who make themselves the dis
seminators of discontents. 1t would
be a curious matter of inquiry to as
certain how many of the tramps who
now infest the rural districts have
been soldiers in the armies on both
| sides

OUR WASHINGTON LETTER


special Correspondence TO The Republican.
WASHINGTON, D. c.. July 2, 1878.
The preamble and resolution under
which the Potter Committee was au-
thorized, offered as pretext for the
inquiry that it was alleged that the
Electoral Votes-among them Louis
lana and Florida-were tainted with
fraud. Mr. Sherman promised to
prove it if allowed the opportunity.
Many of the Secretary's political
friends didn't hesitate to criticize
what appeared to them his excep-
tional timidity when brought before
the Committee to plead to the au-
thorship of certain letter. But the
Democrats under-rate the intelli-
gence of the country if they count on
its acquiescence in their refusal to
subpoena the witnesses Mr.. Sherman
names, on the preteXt that he (Sher-
manl hadn't yet acknowledged or
denied writing the letter that guaran-
teed Anderson and Weber Federal
offices. The country will more espe-
cially condemn their refusal, as Mr..
Sherman says he can prove by them
all grades of crime on the part Of the
Louisiana bull-dozer, from down
right murder to the number of more
than 80, down to whippingss and
scourgings by the nocturnal raiders
in the two parties of East and West
Feliciana. But this is precisely what
the Democratic majority of the Com
mittee has done, confirming what
was generally believed before that no
effort would be spared to suppress all
evidence of the Democratic murders
and other Outrages committed by
tens of thousands during the last
campaign in the South.
Potter, his Democratic and Butler
associates have steadily fallen into
disrepute until they are the but and
laughing-stock Of the town. Their
affection for disreputable Anderson
was not rated to their credits and since
their discontinue by the jerks they
occupy the relative place accorded

ners. The jerks and Pitkin have
left Anderson without vestige of
character. While she is conceded to
be "smart" and has gone home
crowned with the laurels she appears
most to covet, no modest woman
need envy her the reputation she has
earned. Chandler'5 testimony is not
what Potter and Butler probably
hoped it would be. On the whole it
is thought that Potter can't too soon
close out his assortment of witnesses
and adjourn if he would save shred
of reputation.

Some years ago, on the occasion OF
the adjournment of the Legislature
of a Western State, the Chaplain OF
the House prayed in this wise: SO
God, we thank Thee that this Legis-
lature has adjourned and that its
members are going home. Return
them in safety to their homes, and
grant that such a set of men may
never again come here to disgrace
the State" Such a prayer might,
with some prOpriety have been offer
ed on the occasion of the adjourn
ment of the Congress whose members
are now on their way home. A more
discreditable lot of Legislators have
not for long time had place in our
National Capitol, and the only draw
back to the rejoicing over their de.
parture is the reflection that the
drunk and disorderly crowd will be
back again in December.-PhiLadel.
