EMORY SPEER.

President Arthur has nominated,
and the Senate has confirmed Emory
Speer as United States Judge for the
southern district of Georgia. The
appointment is for life-not for four
or six years, but for as long time as
Mr.. Speer shall live!
The vote by which Mr.. Speer was
confirmed was very close-26 to Is.
Several Republican Senators refused
to vote for him, whilst one, CMr
Hale voted against him, as did all
the Democratic Senators except one,
Senator Brown of Georgia. But for
the vote Of Senator Brown, Mr.. Speer
would not have been confirmed. The
people of Georgia are therefore in
debted to President Arthur for the
nomination, and to Senator Brown
for the confirmation of Mr.. Speer.
All the members in the lower house
of Congress from Georgia were earn
estly opposed to the appointment of
Mr.. Speer. All the Democrats in the
Senate, with the one exception noted,
were likewise opposed to it. Indeed,
it may be safely assumed that every
Democrat in both houses of Congress,
as well as every sincere Democrat in
Georgia, and in all the Southern
States, was opposed to the appoint
ment. How was it then that Senator
Brown separated himself from the
Democratic party both in Congress
and the country, and spoke for, work
ed for, and voted for the confrma-
ton?
If Speer's nomination had been
sent iii six months ago, would the
Senator have voted for it We
doubt it; but if he had, we feel quite
sure the Georgia Legislature would
not have reelected him to the Sen.
ate. We feel equally sure that in the
vote he gave Mr.. Speer, and without
which he would not have been con
firmed, he did not represent the peo-
pie of Georgia or of the South. If
he felt indebted to Speer for help on
a former critical occasion, we submit
that he had no right to discharge the
obligation by voting to saddle an in
competent and unworthy Judge upon
the people Of the State for life.
Spcer does not possess a single
qualification for the place either per-
sonal or professional. He is utterly
destitute Of principle and of convic.
tons.

Lincoln as Congressman.

EIihu B. Washburn, our late Min
lister to France, in an article entitled
Abraham Lincoln in Illinois" pub
lished in the North american ReUieU
for October, thus speaks OF the mar
tyred President at the time OF bis
election to Congress.
"Mr. Lincoln took his seat in Con-
gress on the first Monday in Decem-
Der, 1877. He sat in the old hall OF
the House of Representatives, and
for the long session was SO untortu-
nate as to draw one of the most un-
desirable seats in the hall. He par
ticipated but verv little in the active
business of the House, and made the
personal acquaintance of but few OF
the members. He was attentive and
conscientious in the discharge OF his
duties, and followed the course of
legislation closely. When he took
his seat in the House, the campaign
of 1S4S for President was Just open
ing.
81 was again in Washington part
of the winter of 1S49 (after the elec-
tion of General Taylor, and saw
much of Mr.. Lincoln. A small
number OF mutual friends-includ-
ing Mr.. Lincoln-made up party
to attend the inauguration bali to-
gether. 1t was by far the most bril-
liant Inauguration ball ever given.
OF course Mr.. Lincoln had never
seen any thing of the kind before.
One OF the most modest and uupre-
tending persons present, he could
not have dreamed that like honors
were to come to him almost within
little more than decade. He was
greatly interested in all that was to
be seen, and we did not take our de-
parture until three or four O'Clock
in the morning. When we went to
the cloak and hat room, Mr.. Lincoln
had no difficulty in finding his short
cloak, which little more than cover
ed his shoulders, but after long
search was unable to find his hat.
After an hour he gave up all idea of
finding it. Taking his cloak on his
arm, be walked out into Judiciary
Square, deliberately adjusting it on
his shoulders, and started off bare
headed for his lodgings. IL would
be hard to forget the sight of that
tall and slim man, with his short
cloak thrown over his shoulders, no
hat on, starting for his long walk
home ON Capitol Hill at 4 O'Clock in
the morning. And this incident is
akin to one related to me by the Ii
brarian of the Supreme Court of the
United States. MIR. Lincoln came to
the library one day for the purpose
of procuring some law books which
he wanted to take to his room for
examination. Getting together all
the books he wanted, be placed them
in a pile on a table. Taxing a large
bandana handkerchief from his
pocket he tied them up, and putting
stick which he had brought with
him through the knot, he adjusted
the package of books to the stick,
shouldered it and marched off from
the library to mis- room. In few
days he returned the books in the
same way"

Now that cold weather is here and
farmers shut up their hens more
than IN warm weather, few hints
on the best way to manufacture hen
guano. or compost. may be sppro-
PIRATE. The first thing is TO provide
something to hold the manure, old
barrels are just the thing, but good
strong boxes will do very well. They
will, however, soon decay, and be
useless, unless protected with oil or
gas tar. If the contents are likely
to be moist, gas tar will be the best
thing to use.
The number of barrels to provide
must correspond with the number
of hens; there should be one for
every ten hens. Then if the wealth
er is dry enough before freezing up
to secure quantity of road dust,
fill all int one with the road dust,
which is the very best absorbent
you can get, and if dry the barrels
may stand anywhere, under shelter,
without the freezing of the contents.
IL dry earth or dust cannot be OBJ
tanned. the next best thing is finely
pulverized soil, which will of course
contain considerable moisture, and
must be kept in barrels or boxes, 80
as not to freeze. If road dust or
soil is used, the more clay it con-
tains the better it will be for the
purpose.
After you have your barrels all
ready, the rest of the operation will
be simple and easy. All you have
to do is to place layer, say an inch
or two, in the bottom of an empty
barrel, and throw in the cleanings OF
the hen house then another por-
ton of the dust, and another layer
of the cleanings. The thinner each
layer of the two is, the more perfect
ly they will become diffused togeth-
er in standing. Proceed in this way
with each successive barrel. Next
spring your barrels will be filed
with a very powerful and most val
uaole manure. You may add to It's
value by pounding and cracking up
fine all the refuse bones you can
find. Sprinkle the fragments of bone
among :he layers of manure, which
will cut and work them down. By
a little care and attention you will
secure a supply Of manure, the val
ne and quantity of which will sur
prise those who first make the
trial.
All you will have to do in the
spring will be to pulverize and work
over the mass, SC as to be evenly and
finely applied.
