candidate at each of these places.

His reasons therefor, which are

The annual report of the Ohio Ag-

the preservation and maintenance OF
forests, and says this concerning
woodlands: "The first step should
be to remove all worthless varieties,
and to encourage the valuable sorts
to take their place. Stock should not
be allowed to run in woods lots for
the purpose of forage; there should
be a careful guard against fire; seeds
should be planted in vacant places
of such varieties as are most dasira-

should be trimmed up, so that they
may grow tall, forming trunk rather
than branches.

The Charleston, South Carolina,
NeaCs and Courier thus echoes the
feeling of the southern democrats:
"The South Carolina public will be
entirely satisfied if the disreputable
colored people, who have been in Of
flee and kept there by the republi-
cans, during the last fifteen years.
shall be succeeded by colored demo
Gratis who have sided with the white
people in the different political con-
tests from 1876 to the present time.
There is no desire in South Carolina
to turn out colored men for the sake
of putting white men in their places,
and it will be satisfactory to the pub
lie, where competent colored men
can be found, to exchange colored
radicals for colored democrats. This
plan can be followed with especial
advantage in Washington, where
some of the fugitives from justice in
South Carolina have been provided
with pl ces in the departments"

The Newark Advocate says: The
Democratic party has been in power
now for some considerable length Of
time, and yet none of the numerous
horrible things predicted by the Re-
publican leaders have come to pass,
nor is there any indication of them
ever coming to pass. The sun rises
and sets just as Of old and the rain
and the dew descend. The rebel debt
has not yet been paid, nor do w~e-learn
that there has been any alarming adj
vance in the value of Confederate
bonds. Nc general order has been is
sued to put the colored people of the
south back into slavery, nor to go
forth and put them all, men, women,
and children, to the edge Of the sword.

ed would follow if the alleged Stree

"Prep" Grows Personal.

Mr.. EDITOR: From the tone, tenor,
treble, base and soprano of Mr.. Clink.
scales article last week, my first conclu
sion is. that tho gentleman knows very
little about our petition for an election
upon the prohibition question, and had
really forgotten, or would have forgotten
its existence had it not been for some one
reminding him Of it. He said in con
yersa,ion In front Of the Court House.
some days ago. that the petition should
have been directed to the Anderson
delegation instead of Hon. II. G. scud.
day, and It would have received more
attention.
My second conclusion with reference
60 him, therefore, is that if we had ad
dressed the petition thus: ITO the Hon.
orable R. P. Clinkscaies, tie Representa-.
tive ofthe grand Democracy of Anderson
County, South Carolina" It would have
had unbounded, energetic support, and
by him would have been hailed with Joy
aud delight as token Of respect for
which he would ever have been grateful.
AS for Col. Rucker's reply. I would
say, just for one moment imagine Mr.

thumbs in the arm. holes of bis vest, and

tremely courageous and promises that he
will fear mo ilP' under circumstances
which mark him as q very brave map
He says, however, that his sentiments
were voiced by King David Of old, but
we must confess that our acquaintance
with the writing Of that venerated sage,
does not enable US to find the passage he
quotes. King David may have written
1t without our knowing ii, and as an in.
ducement for Mr.. Clinkscales to cOndes.
cend to instruct us, will give him a
| chrome il he will inform US as TO the ex.
act portion Of King Davd's composition
in which it may be found. We do no,
believe, however, that King David was
able to write such sentence. We have
never met with one in his writings which
compares with il, and unit: .Ir. Clink-
scales gives US book, chapter and line,
we must conclude that it was reserved
for our Representative to give 10 the
world sentence so fearfully and won.
derfully constructed.
Mr.. Clinkscalcs says that if he has not
already exactly stated his position, he
cOnfesses that he is unable 10 find Ian.
guage TO express it. This may be the
fact, but il so, it either proves that Mr..
Clinkscales has Il very limited vocabulary,
or that he has no position on this ques.
ton. II may prove both. He has Ger
tainly not said that he ia in favor of
granting the right to vote, or that he is
opposed to it. lie has said that he had
not an opportunity to examine the bill,
and therefore favored report without
recommendation. He has not intimated
| that he has since made up his mind.
MIR. Clinkscules certainly knows the
meaning Of Eyes" and "no." II he will
use one of these words in answer to the
question if he favors the passage Of this
bill, he will then define his position.
We repeat we are not after Mr.. Clink
scales personally. We are criticising
Representative Clinkscales for two things.
First, for over riding the will of the peo.
pie; and second, for not having the
courage of his convictions strong enough
to state them plainly and firmly. As
long as he tries to evade his resronsibii-
ty for official acts, he will find that he is
travelling in ways that are dark, and that
his little tricks to fool the people will be
vain. Heis undoubtedly partly response
bic for the failure of this bill, but the
worst feature about his course IL, that
he is the only Representative who has
not told US how he stood. We think he
has pre:eminentIy earned for himself the
appellation of !he "clumsy dodger."

Dynamite in New York.

New YORK, February 1.-The first
criminal use of dynamite in this city has
greatly excited people here to day. The
explosion took place at very late hour
last night. One or two OF the morning
papers made second editions giving the
news. The explosion WAS Mt Garry Bros
dry goods store at the c)rner OF Grand
and Allen streets, and that section of the
city was crowded to-day with persuns
who had been attracted by the repOr, Of
the attempt to destroy property with
dynamite.
There were number Of persons pass
ing the spot ut the time of the explosion,
but none Of them was injured. Police
Captain Allaire and squad of officers
guarded the premises. Tie goods in the
Allen street side of the store of Garry
Bros. and also in that of Ridley & Sons,
the windows of which had also been
smashed by the explosion, were removed
for safety to the interior Of the stores.
Shortly after the explosion four men were
found by the police i'll the shadow Of the
Rivington street station of the Elevated
Road. One of them, Charles Henry, n
labortr, who said he lived in Williams
burg, WAS discovered tn be severely cut
about the head and face, and the others,
Wm. Britton. IL waiter, James Daley, Il
clerk, and JOS. Lamb, Il printer, were
binding up Henry's wounds. The quar-
tette were seized and locked up, and to
day ut the Essex Market Police Court
they were remanded To day q lad was
brought to the stationhOuse who was
charged with experimenting with dyna
mite at the corner Of Grand and Essex
streets, where he succeeded in dsodging
a portion of Il horse cartrack. He could
not be connected with the otlIer explo.
sion. The bomb or cartridge which
caused the explosion last night mus,
have been placed Immediately under the
framework of the window of Garry Bros
store. The window casing, sash and
glass were entirely demolished. The
shock WAS felt several hundred feet away
There is no evidence that cartridge was
applied to Ridley's store. Had it moi
been for the heavy elevated railroad
structure which runs up Allen street be-
tween the two stores, however, the prob.
ability is that a good part of the west
aide of Ridley's building would have SUI.
fered. Many of Ridley's employees
came to the spot to guard the premises.
The damage to both buildings will reach
$4,000. The police are satisfied that the
explosion is the outcome Of q strike cf
Garry Bros employees.
