CHANDELIERS "PMRASE."
The New York Tribune says:

i ne NCN / vi IL tcN'tN
Senator Chandler has enriched the
Republican vocabulary with a phrase
which will not be forgotten very soon.
He SAYS that when the North pnt upon
the S6uth the robe of citizenship, and
killed the fatted calf, and invited the
p,olisaI sons 10 the feast, tile South came
forward with the calm remark: we have
always owned that calf, and we are not
grateful for the feast. "
"Seuator Chandler has enriched
The Republican vocabulary with a
phrase" which The Tribune modestly
declines to quote, though it twill
not be forgotten very soon" When
the best men North and South were
endeavoring to avert the war by
honorable compromise, the Michigan
statesman declared that "lhe country
would never be worth a d-n without
little blood letting.n And if Chan
der could have had his way, The
"blood letting" process would never
have stopped, II is hardly necessa-
ry to say that this Republican hero
took exceeding good care of bis own
hide, and never brought it within
range of The enemy's guns.
The phrase the Tribune admircs
is indeed funny when We examine
the facts on which it is supposed to
rest. The South had worn ''tlle
robe of citizenship" got tired of it.,
and deliberately threw it of. Then
the North fought four years to make
the South put the rejected robe on
again. The South did not want any
of the federal "fatted calf" prefer
ring independent bull beef instead.
But the North "would not take No
for an answer" and sent million
soldiers to compel the unwilling
guest to partake of the gseat Union
free lunch. Now that the South has
been dragged to the table and seated
there, Chandler and his tribe con-
slider 1T the height Of impudence and
ingratitude when she declines TO be
grateful for The feast"
If the Republicans did not desire
The restoration Of the Union on the
only terms on which it is political
possibility, why did they not take
Horace Greeley's advice and let the
South go9 The South certainly did
her best to relieve the North Of the
company which Republicans now
seem to regard rs an uncomfortable
insult and outrage. Under such cir
cumstances her involuntary return
to tue federal family, with all the
rights and privileges thereunto ap
pertaining, should be borne with
/ more patience by those patriots who
have have evidently got considera
| bly, more than they bargained for.
The South is at home again, and
proposes to make herself comforta-
BILE there; claiming or repuaiating
the votive veal as she feels disposed.

MeKIysTRY's GREAT ORCHARD.
THIRTY THOUSAND FRUIT TREES, A'"0
VINES, AND 5000 CUR
RANTS.

The largest orchard in the world
is doubtless that owned and worked
successfully by Mr.. Robert McMn-
stry, of Hudson, Columbia county,
n. Y. The orchard is situated on
the Hudson river, on high, rolling
table land, aud contains more than
$4,000 apple trees, 100 pears, 4OOO
cherries, 500 peaches, 200 plums'
200 crabs, 1900 vines, 5000 currants
and 200 chesnuts. The varieties OF
apples grown are: Rhode Island
grecning, 1000; Baldwins 6O0O; King
of Tompkius county, 1000; Astra
ehans, 500; Northern Spy, 500; Wa
gener, 500; GraycnsteIa, 400; Gran
berry Pippins, 200; Ben. Davis, 200;
Duchess Of Oidenburg, 200; with
Jonathans, Habbardstons, Cayugas,
Vanderyeers, Pearmains, Peck s
Peasants, twenty ounces Pippins,
Russets, and others in less number.
The pears are Bartlett, B. d'Anjou,
Sheldon, ScckeI and Lawrence chief
Iy. or cherries there are twenty
eight varieties. The orchards are
remarkably thrifty and the oldest
trees are about twenty years DID,
The soil is dry, rolling gravel, with
some limestone; the trees are plant,
cd twenty feet apart and do not by
any means seem to be crowded.
The ground is plowcd several times
in The year and kept fallow; except
when thought advisable it is seeded
to clover. The orchard is intersect.
ed by roads over six miles in length
for the passing of wagons, and is
bounded by continuous row Of ap.
pie trees, set ten feet apart for foul
miles and half. The apple crop Of
last year is 10000 barrels. Twenty
four men and fourteen horses are
employed hauling out the crop or in
blowing.
The success of this orchard has
not been achieved, nor is it main
tanned, without the closet supervis.
ion and most Industrious work.
Suckers and sprouts are removed as
soon as seen; the borers are watched
and followed with vigor. Wires are
used to reach them in their burrows,
and the damaged bark is removed
with .chisels. AS trees fall, others
are planted in their places. AS tue
market for good fruit is extending
every year, and foreign customers
are seeking supplies, the business OF
growing fruit cannot fail to be pro
ftablc and permanent. No other
business pays better than this for
the most skillful attention and man
agement; indeed, without these, it is
vain to expect a crop that will sell
IN the market for remunerative pri
ces. Good fruit.sells itself, and the
grower is soon sought for by the
purchasers. Those who desire tt
take q lesson in things appertainius
TO the usiness, and to prove the
truth of these facts, may we'll study
the ways and methods of Mr.. Nc.

THE DEMOCRATIC Senators at Wash
ington, it is said,wil try new bull
doing process when the nomination OF
Secretary McCrary is presented for con-
tirmation, as Judge of the United
States District Court of Iowa. 1t is
said the confirmation will be laid aside
until after it is known what the Presi-
dent will do with appropriation bills,
If he signs them McCrary is to be con
firlned; if he vetoes them McCrary is tt
be rejected. This is in perfect accord
with all the other actions OF the Demo.
Gratis in Congress.

A TRAGIC scene was witnessed yester-
day afternoon in the Court House in
Philadelphia. The murderer Parr, just
sentenced to death, determined to cheat
the gallows of its victim by drinking a
vial of strychnine. The wretched man
was willing to be ushered Immediately
into the presence of his maker rather
than to run the risk OF being sent back
to his prison cell where no doubt every
means by which he might end his mis-.
cradle and worthless life would be cut
off. Parr must still have had one
friend, and that friend the one tina,
furnished him with the poison. A full
account of the tragic scene is given il
our columns elsewhere.

THERE Is ONE thing certain, the Dem
ocrats have nobody but themselves to
blame for the prediCament in which
they find themselves in Congress. No.
body forced them to it. They simply
made determined effort and got COW
cred with ridicule. Nobody pities
them, not even those of their own
party. They might as we'll keep Oh
now butting their brains out against
the Presidential vetoes, for if they
did return to the ways Of common
sense they would get no credit for it.

lT DOES NOT seem fair that Allen
should be thrust into prison and
to stay there nearly six months charged
with crime for which he cannot be
convicted, while his four friends who
were also charged with the murder OF
Demby are at liberty. 1t will only be
a useless expense to the country. Ii
does not seem fair either that Kopp,
Finn and the others, should he used
as witnesses against him.

to get substitute or he could not get
his $500. If the same man had voluD-
teered he would have got s2O0, but
now that he is drafted man, the State
pays him $500, and being white man,
and possibly having been either the own
sr or prospective owner |ms slaves he
could get oxe of them IA substitute
for 800 or so, and he could pocket
the balance. We think that the main or
leading features of this law npon which
the Delawarean rests the loyalty Of
Delaware, are made sufficiently plain
that wayfaring man though fool
may see that the whole object Of it was
to pay men to stay at home instead of
urging them to go forth and uphold
the honor of their couutry's flag, as the
really loyal States had already done.
This peculiar kind of Democratic
loyalty, We will venture to say cannot
b. found recorded upon the statute
books of any other State than Delaware.
We say again that Delaware never
paid one dollar in bounties to volun,
teers for the purpose of strengthening
the army. Finding that volunteer
went to the credit of the quota required
from the State, it was much easier to
pay 5000 to a volunteer than to pay
$500 after being draftel. Thus it will
be seen that the State by paying 5000
bounty to volunteer, saved $500 for
the State. 1t was this specula-
tive enterprise that induced the State
to offer the paltry sum of 5000 to vol
unteer to fill up that particular quota,
and $500 to another man to keep him
from going to the war. Had the Demo.
Gratis of Delaware reversed the manner
of showing their loyalty, and have
given $500 Lounty to volunteers, there
would never have been a second draft
in the State, and the loyalty of Dem
ocratic Legislature would never have
been called into question. Ii there is
anything else wanted to show Della
wares peculiar kind Of loyalty during
the war it will be found in the refusal
of the Legislature to hoist the National
flag on the State Hous. during the ses-
sions held while the war was going on
also in the refusal to aid the families of
those who had volunteered without any
bounty whatever. Throughout the
whole range Of legislation during the
war there cannot be found a word of
sympathy for the National govern
ment in putting down the rebel
lion. This is the kind of loyalty that
suited the "Delawarean' in the dark
days of the nation, aud this is the kind
of loyalty that enthuses the heart of
Senator Bayard when he rises in the
Senate to defend his native little State.
We hope that the sub of the "Dela-
warean" will not forget to tell us in
the next issue where he was during
the drafting season.

me that the objections advanced and
the substitutes offered do not amount
to enough to give them either force or
weight. There is some little difference
between a five and q ten, or even
twenty dollar bond, numerically uni
tized, but no distinction. II We are to
have bonds that, by their mere size,
are to become inviting to the people,
to be used by them as G circulating
medium, in the absence or scarcity OF
others propekf ordained for that pur-
pose, mere commodities to be used by
common consent and mutual necessity,
then let US lay aside email differences,
where there are no intrinsic distinc-
tions, and have the bonds issued as
the bill provides for. Now, sir, If the
State of Texas chooses to receive her
taxes in chips and whetstones, in one
thing or another, l suppose, through
her law-making power, she can be
compelled to do so. As for instance,
in bonds, she can't help 1t, but not SO
when she comes to pay off her credl-
tors. Then she must plank down the
genuine keller or something that her
creditors deem equivalent and are salts
fed TO receive. Bonds, in payment of
taxes, might initiate her vaults, but
could answer no further purpose than
to stuff pillows on which her officials
might, in hours of leisure, recline their
weary craniums IN evening snoozes.
can see no objection, and perhaps
some advantage, and convenience in re-
ceiving the coupons attached to these
bonds In payment of taxes of the State.
1t would simply amount to their pay
ment when due, but there should be nc
effort toward requiring the counties to
do the same.
