VERY MAGN.NIuOUs.

The Democrats Of the national House OF
Representatives have decided to allow the
Republicans all the time they want for de-
batting the partisan measures which are TO be
put through at the present session. This is
very magnapimous on the part OF the Dem.
ocrats-especially in view of the fact that
they couldn't prevent it, for while they are
strong enough to pass party measure,
BY b-re majority, they are not strong
enough to enforce The gag Law; Were 1t
otherwise, the discussion of the Questions
would be cut very short, for the R-publi-
cans promise to make just such speeches as
the Democrats do not want. They are very
apprehensive Of the effect of the debate upon
the Northern vote. In regard to
the epeech made by General Garfield a few
days ago, one of the leading Democrats
was hesrd to remark that while in his
opinion Garfield speech did not touch the
case in poiut Of argument, it was an ap-
peal to the people which Democrats would
find it impossible to answer. The contract
between the closing chapter OF the seceed-
ing Democracy in 1861, and the opening
chapter of the restored Confederate D-m-
ocracy in 1879, and the fact that the DEM
ocracy justified the use of the army to run
down fugitive slaves in the North before
the war, but find it unconstitutional now
to preserve pesce at the polls with the ar
my, or to protect The liberated negro in
his rights as fire.. man, are the features OF
the speech which the Democrats admit 1t
will be difficult for Them to answer, and
which strongly appeal to public opinion in
the North. The Republicans realize this
fact, and before the close Of the days ses-
sion on which the speech was delivered,
over a hudred thousand copies Of it had
been subscribed for 1t will be circulated
everywhere, and will undoubtedly have

RECOnu,G ARMED

The prospect of losing their laboring
classes, and of being obliged TO coil their
own hands with honest toll, is bringing
the Southern people to their senses, ard
they are now beginning TO interest them
selves in devising come means to keep The
colored people at home. The Vickrburg
Her ID, a representative Of extreme South
ern opinion, now proposes to give the COL
ored people Of Mississippi a representation
in the Legislature. That is, the minority
will kindly consent TO allow the msiority
to have few representatives. in the L'gis
lature, in order to keep them from leaving
the State. This is certainly very kind, but
it will hardly be sufficient 10 check the
exodus Of colored people to the North and
West, which b now fairly b.gun.

HOG CHOLERA.

E. r. Moody, prominent breeder OF
Kentucky, writes to the Iadidsd Farm'r
~ follows concerning his treatment OF hog:
My stock has been bred by NE for twenty
years, without losing one by cholera. My
mode of treatment is simply to furnish
clean, we'll ventilated quarters, fresh run
ming water, plenty of green f1od in summer,
a d.nse forest for range in winter. My
principal food is soak, d corn, with rye and
corn meal slop., slightly soured. Give sui
phur twice week; stone coal, salt, aud
aches are kept in the lots. i have thought
that. could take many hogs sick with
cholera, that otherwise would die, and feed
the disea,e out OF them with sour slops and
sulphur. This is the only remedy i ever
used. and it sl~ avs proved efitclual, and i
have had a number Of sick hogs.

TIE PLAGUE.

The New York Tribune prints letter
from Saratov, Russia, under date Of March
8. to the effect that the prevalence of the
plague has been exaggerated. The CORES
pondent afirms that lies have been sent out
o news, and the alarm is false. In view Of
the fact that many Of the reports Of the ex-
tent of the plague came from St. Peters
burg, it Is hard to understand why such
hurtful stories should be iu circulation

which was sure to come in the progress of

He conceded expressly that the abolition
Of slavery would prove An ultimate good to
the country; that it was . manifest advan-
tage TO the white race, for it would lead to
the development of the South, and multi
ply her manufacturing and mechanical in
dustries.
Speaking Of national Affairs. he said ne
accepted the situation as decided by the
arbirsment of the sword, and that be was
very hopeful of the future Of the country.
He did not believe there was any existing
csu-e for regional enlargement, or that
there conld be any hereafter Ope of the
results of the war already apparent was
that the Sou was less dependent upon the
North than heretofore; for, while she would
supply great staples as before, her people
had begun TO produce greater variety of
crops for their own use than ever before,
and they would eventually compete with
| other sections in manufactures
and mechanical arts. In this
connection he remarked that
while the South was destitute Of
money and the value of real estate was
greatly depressed, in a very short time the
price of landed property would advance be
cause of its intrinsic value IN the produc
ton Of staple articles of commerce. He
remarked that the only disturbing elements
to be discerned now were the efforts OF ex
rremi-ts upon both sides to keep alive ami
mosities and h,treds of the past. 1T Con-
gess would pursue a moderate course, and
attend to its legitimate duties Of genera
legislation for the good Of the whole coun
try, all the great social and industri j
questions which were now a source OF &c
much contention would soon settle them
selves and the country would be at peace
Speaking OF himself he said:

The Temper ct she Son hern People.
fChicapo Times Il

An observant Republican, lately return,
ed 10 Washington from an extended south
ern tour, admits that congressman repre-
senting that section are fulfilling the wishes
of their constituents in demanding the re-
peal of the election laws. The south, he
say-, is solid for repeal, and will have 10
mercy upon comprOmisers. The temper
of 1860 is rife again, and the law which
has been restraint upon it and a protec.
ton to the opposition must be repealed.
1t is probable this statement correctly re-
presents the stale Of feeling among the
southern Bonrbons They have learned
nothing even from the tremendous lessons
of the civil war, but they will find that
there il no such forbeariDg or doubtful
temper now at the north as that which met
the first rebel movements with proposals
for compromise. The new solid south will
encounter at once a solid north.

Der some two or three hundred Democrats
cast their votes for the Democratic cspdi
dates who were defeated at the election in
October. 1t is now proposed to unseat the
Republicans and give their places to the
Democrats Ills matter was talked Of
Immediately after the election; nobody i'm
sgiped, however, that any political party
in this country would dsre to resort to
such a scheme. But it seems that the
public has underestimated the Democratic
c.paeity for rascslity, and a motion has
actually been made in the House TO seat
one of the Democrats thus voted for. In
referring to this fact, the New York Tri-
bune of March %, says:
