viii resent the discreditable alliance into

Mr.. BIaine's Augusta Speech.
JUD6E TouRGEE's VIEWS OF THIS IMPoR
IAsT UTTERAscE.
lPnrfland Advertiser. [


Beyond all question. Mr.. Blaine's Augusta
speech is the most remarkable instance of an
altogether remarkable career. His speeches
during the campaign, admirable as they were,
and unmatched for sagacity and tact by the
utterances of any previous candidate for the
Presidency, are trivial and Insignificant in
comparison with this remarkable address.
1t constitutes the platform on which his
party will fight not merely for the next four
years but perhaps for the better part of a
generation. II formulates the one great
question which must be decided before lesser
issues of administrative detail can become
again the controlling questions of American
politics. The experiment of colored suffrage
in the South failed before the Ku-Klux Khan
appeared. The frs. Southern State gov
ernment in which the colored man
was = political factor or in the ad-
ministration of which he was in any man.
ner represented, was organized about the
lst of July, 1868. The first legislatures
controlled or affected by republican votes
were held during the winter of 1868 g.
The Ku-Klux- Khan had already extended
its "Invisible Empire" and was thorough
y compacted force in at least five of the
States of the South before solitary State
government was organized under the recon
struction laws. During the simmer of 1868,
it became an active force in at least two
more of these States and before a single law
had been passed by any legislature subject
to such influences.
The Southern whites had it in their power
to have led the colored people whithersoever
they would by simply according to them
cheerfully the rights of citizenship iastead OF
struggling with might and main to prevent
their enjoyment of those rights accorded by
National authority. The fact that the blacks
at the South constitute a party by themselves
in the main, results naturally from the
antecedent fact that the dominant class of
the whites were insuperably opposed te the
colored mans possessing any political rights
and were in favor of granting him only the
debased and limited civil existence which
WAS sought to be imposed upon him by the
Black Codes" adopted in 1865 by the
provisional governments of the South.

Manufacture of Peppermint Oil.

A correspondent writing from Wayne
county, New York, to the department
of agriculture at Washington, gives an
account of the production of pepper
mint oil in that region. There are
about 5000 acres of land annually de-
voted to the production of this useful
and essential oil in Wayne and adjoin-
ing counties, which is considered the
finest quality grown IN the United
States. The annual production is Co.
600 pounds of oil. It is planted very
early in the spring, and the harvest be-
gins in August. After cutting the mint
is allowed to wither for eight or ten
hours, and it is then raked and placed
in cocks, where it can be left but a short
time before being taken TO the still.
The still consists of wooden tubs, and
the wilted mint is packed in the tubs by
treading with the feet when full a cover
is fitted tightly over the top of the
tub, and the mint is then steamed by
means of a pipe which connects the
lower part of the tub with a steam
boiler. Peppermint is sometimes care
lessly cultivated, and various weeds al
lowed to grow among it, which if stilled
with it will give impure oil. The strict
ly pure oil produced in Wayne and
adjoining counties is refined at Lyons,
N. Y, and sent out in bottles made for
the purpose, duly branded and labeled.
The actual cost of producing and re-
fning it is from 50 to So per pound. -
