Fertilizers for Fruit Trees.

There is nothing better than sta
bic manure, but not enough can be
had, Muck is good if we get the
right kind, tibrous and not too much
decomposed. It may be proGtably
composted with stable manure, six
or seven loads to one of the latter
with ashes and with salt. The
coarse grass which grows on muck
swamps, if piled up with it, helps
decomposition. Salt is recommend
ed as good fertilizer for all kinds
of fruit trees. 1t helps to decom
pose plant food. Ashes are good, and
leached ashes, three hundred bush
els per acre, are excellent on sandy
Soils helping mechanical texture,
and furnishing needed nianurial ell
oments.

ABOUT a week after Woodruff, of this
county, and Foust, of Huntingdon, had
testified before the bribery committee
in relation to corrupt offers having been
made to them by Jesse R. Crawford TO
induce them to vote for the Pittsburg
riot bill, the Altoona Tribune announced
on the authority of Mr.. Crawford him
self that he intended to make state
ment under oath that would put a dlt-
ferent face upon the allegations made
against him, and somebody else may go
in a hole, . etc. Major Crawford went
before the committee the next day we
believe after the Tribune'S statement,
and the Philadelphia papers published
the following as the substance of his
testimony:
Jesse r. Crawford was recalled and denied
that he had offered money to FouSt and car
gill and denied that Re ever offered to take
any member to kemble. He might have
said that the friends of the bill had fund,
not to pay members for their votes but to
make presents after q was all over. In
reference 10 the offer of 81, 900 that Woodruff
testified he offered him for the publication Of
articles in favor of the riot bill in the Johns
town Democrat he explained that he had
heard that they were paying money for the
publication of the history of the Pntsburg
riots, and that the Democratic papers might
as we'll get some of the patronage.
kll this is very thin and transparent,
anCE utterly fails to come up to what we
haCB right to expect from the confident
tone of the Tribune. If Crawford did
not offer money to Cargill and FoUrst- as
he swears he didn't, he is bound from
his own testimony to taSa, the ether
horn Of the dilemma, of having offered
Ito make presents to them latter 1t
was all over out of "a fund.- that the
friends of the bill had What is the
difference between offering money To
man to do 4 certain thing-voting for
bill for instance-Or offering to make
him 4 present out of f1o,d after he had
voted? The two propositions are as
much alike as twin babies. And then
how childlike and bland it was for
Crawford to state and explain to
Woodruff when he offered him from
S3Osto Il 900 for publishing two articles
in the JOhnstown DemOcrgt in favor of
the bill, that .'the Democratic papers
might as well get some of TIE patronage.
This red tapeism had $500 or $1,000 at
one end of 1t as bait and Woodruff s
votaat the other end as the game sought
for. and any ten-year-oai, boy would so
interpret it upon instinct. If Jesse r.
Crawford has got himself into very
ugly scrape, and if newspapers feel i'm
pslled to discuss the Tparits of his lobby
performances, he must blame himself
tor having been the sole architect of
ais own i'll fortunes

IT appears. after all that has been
said to the contrary that Don Cameron
can on great occasions play an important
part i'm the L. ;. Senate. The horse

and Cameron assumed the pressure upon
himself of bringing about an adjourn

hut he succeeded i'm effecting his purpose,
and on the following day he took "a Sc

capital for use i'll important emergencies,
such as horse racing and the like. The
adjournment was a great victory for
Cameron-the greatest perhaps i'll his
public career at Washington-an and the
Republicans of Pennsylvania ought to
feel proud of their Senator. The mem
bers Of the Senate who went to the races
did not sufficiently recover from the eN-
citemcut to put in auappearnce during
the balance of the week. and as a con.
sequence no quorum was present and nC
business could be transacted. Who vii
now deny that Don Cameron is a great

LEWIS EMERY, Jr, Republican. re-
presents the county Of Mexican in the
lower branch of the Legislature. He is
an extensive oil producer. and when
a test vote was taken early last week on
the question of putting tax on oil and
the project was defeated for the session
10y Democratic votes, Mr.. Emery is re-
ported to have passed over to the Demo-
cratic members and in the.fullness of his
JOY announced to them that when he
returned To Mexican he would call a
monster mass meeting of his constituents
and proclaim TO them that they owed
their salvation from the imposition of
tax on oil to Democratic votes. This
of course would he the uaadulterated
truth, as Emery's constituents will learn
from the newspapers long before he
reaches home. suppose. however. that
he does call his people together in a mass
meeting, and suppose he tells them how
magnanimousIy the Democrats forgot
the cold shoulder given at last Novem-
ber's election by the oil counties totheir
best TREND Andrew III. Dill, and how bv
their votes in the House they saved
Mexican and all that region from the
odious oil tax, what would be the out.

November comes around the men of oil

leaders-will be then '-whoopiug it up

THE following extract from therepOrt
of the proceedings in the House at Wash
ington. on Friday last, is taken from the
Congressional Record. and speaks for
itself without amy comments by us. The
Mr.. White referred to is of course
Harry White of Indiana county, who
has justly earned for himself the title Of
jumping jack of the House:
Mr. COFFROTH.-I ask unanimous con-
sent to report from the Committee on Inval-
id Pensions a bill granting pensions to Ger
tain soldiers and sailors of the Mexican and
other wars therein named, in order that the
bill may be printed and recummtted, not to
come back on motion to reconsider.
Mr.. SMITH, of Pennsylvania object
This is a public bill.
Mr.. TOwSsHESD, of Ulinois.-Have the
soldiers got no friends on the other side Of
the House
Mr WHITE-NOt Mexican soldiers. As
regards Union soldiers, they have friends
enough here had the honor TO fight that
bill all through last Congress.

TIE legislative and judicial appro-
priation bill having passed both branches
of Congress, was delivered to Mr.. Hayes
on Monday last. This bill, in addition
to providing for the usual appropriations
for the purposes set forth in its title,
also repeats the Jurors test oath, which
is applicable 20 and only enforced in
Federal Courts in the Southern States,
and also repeaIs. or essentially mOdilies.
the supervisors and deputy marshals'
law. which can only be put Ill operation
when congressional elections are held,
and is more specially aimed at the popu-
lous cities in the North and the large
naturalized vote which they contain. 1t
has been stated in advance even of the
passage of the bill by the two houses
that it would not be signed by Mr..
Uaves-that his veto message was pre-
pared. and that it would be sent to Con-
gress either to-day Wednesday,, or on
the day following. yesterday. Since the
second veto of the army bill two weeks
ago. the Democratic members have been
waiting for the present threatened veto,
when they viii come to a definite con-
clusion what course they viii adopt. It
/ is a very easy thing to say, as good
many Democratic papers throughout the
country have been saying, that the De
mocrats having passed the necessary ap-
preparation bills and Mr.. Hayes having
. interposed his vetoes. it only remains
for them to adjourn and go home, leav-
ing the responsibility of the situation to
be borne by Mr. Hayes. This, how
ever. is manifestly not the course to be
pursued by the Democratic majority, and
they will commit fatal mistake if they
should adopt it-a result which we do
not seriously anticipate. Whatever an
ties Mr.. Hayes may see proper TO per-
form before the country in the way of
writing contradictory and inconclusive
vetoes. the Democrats cannot afford to
give the opposition the shadow of an
excuse for charging them with having
left the government without the ne
: ceSsary means of support. This is a
llttlu Proposition. anu must w dtttHlttNt
as the true policy to be pursued. Mr..
Hayes and his party have been forced
into precisely the position which the
Democracy desired that they should oc-
cupy. Both he ard the Republicans in
sist upon their right of interfering with
elections 10y military force, which the
Democracy declares to be subversiye Of
the freedom Of the ballot and subversive
of the liberties of thepeople. Nobetter
or stronger issue could be framed upon
which to go before the country in the
great Presidential contest Of next year
The people fully understand the question
at issue between the Executive and Con-
gress, and when the time comes will
render proper and righteous verdict
Let the Democrats in Congress there
fore discharge their whole duty to the
country before they finally adjourn.
Thrice viii they then be armed because
their quarrel has been Just.
