Even if the tenure Of office law is con-
stitutional, how can violation of its
provisions, unless wilfully and corruptly,
be high misdemeanor withinthe lam
guage of the Constitution as to impeach-
ment. 1t is shrewdly suspected that
Wilson, of Iowa, and other pettifoggers
Of his stamp, who for time professed to
oppose impeachment unless there was
some violation of written statute, have
purposely contrived this tenure law to
furnish them pretext to remove the
President for partisan causes on the ex-
ploded testimony taken by Ashley & Co.,
and which was solemnly ignored by the
vote of the House. eas


Bingham &, Co. will haveto hide their
heads in some other sand bank than this
tenure of Office bill, if they hope to con-
ceal their shameless nakedness from the
public. %


But if the friends of the Constitution
remain calm and firm, GOODNESS is one
half the battle. Our Union has so far
been preserved after great trials, but
unless the country is to be governed
under the Constitution and the law, as
decided by our courts, the struggle will
have been in vain. Let us patiently abide
our time until the Judicial department has
decided that Edwin M. Stanton has been
rightfully removed by the President. If
he resists the enforcement of the judg-
ment, then let the strong arm Of the
people be called in to uphold the law.
Then revolutionary Congress will dis
cover that there is power superior to
itself, and President johnson will be
vindicated in history as the man who
stood firm between the contending ultra
isms of the North and the South.

Although our people had neither lot nor part in the recent election for President, most of them took a deep interest in the contest During the early part of the week, almost everybody was on the lookout for the Caliior- mia mail, which, it was fondly hoped, would bring us correct news of the result, but it did not, and we are nearly as much in the dark as ever. We might fill our paper with tclcgraphic guesses about how this State and that State voted, but we think it best to wait for reliable news. Both parties claim California, but we hope and think it has gone Democratic Thenews from Oregon indicates a Democratic triumph, Nevada is claimed by tue Republicans. The election of Grant was generally conceded.

THE military commander of Texas issued an order forbiddng the people of that State voting for Presidential Electors. We do not blame the officer for issuing this order. but we do blame the perjured authors of the so

 called reconstruction acts for their tyranny and total disregard of the National compact

NOTWITHSTANDING the repeated ap-
peals of Democratic journals and ora
tors, and the imperative demand of the
people, that the Radicals shall give an
honest, open, straightforward account
of the manner in which they have spent
the t,oelre hundred millions of dollars
which the Radical tax-gatherer has
wrung from the pockets of the people
during the last three years, they have
utterly failed to respond. This is a
most cowardly evasion of one Of the
lirest issues of the campaign. That this
appalling sum has been collected. in the
shape of revenue, the official records de-
clare. But what disposition has been
made of it. To what purpose has it
been appropriated What portion of it
has been applied to the payment Of the
national debit These are questions that
demand definite solution. The Radi-
Gals may endeavor to eyade them, but
the people will not be satisfied with
such sinking. The money is-or was
theirs. They gave it. however unwil-
lingly, and it is their right to know
and they will know what use has been
made of it.

DID not the editor of the Mtelligencer

The workingmen will remember how
faithfully the REGISTER warned them
not to be caught in that transparent
Radical trap, by which that party
hoped to demoralize the splendid Dem
ocratic organization of Ohio county

county could have no incentive for at
tempting a coalition with any other or
ganization.


The fact is, and the editor Of the
Intelligencer appreciates it, that the in
terests and the hspes of the laboring
man, the man who earns the money
which pays the taxes under Radical
rule, are all with and in the Demo-
cratic party. He knows that the Rad

help continue the party in power which
invented and enforces this system;
compels every man who earns his
bread by work to vote with the
Democracy this once for change even
if he have no sympathy with the polit-
ical tenets of that party. Is it this
that makes the man lie so; or are he

Farmers can make money by feeding
their stock economically, as we'll as in
growing crops, as wasted fodder is
money thrown away. Much can be saw
ed by cutting corn stalks and oat straw
with good cutter, the best being the
cheapest, and if run by horse power the
cutting can be done very fast. and at o
time when your horses are not wanted
for other work. We use cutter on our
farm that is geared to run by the same
horse power that we thresh with, and
enough can be cut in two hours to last
our stock week.


There are various ways to prepare
cut fodder for stock, according to the
facilities that farmers have. Seine have
steaming apparatus, which cooks the
fodder, and then it is mixed with corn
meal, or oats and corn ground together,
and fed warm. Others merely wet the
cut fodder, as the meal is mixed with it.,
and feed in that way. If, on trial, it be
found that stock will not eat the bats of
corn stalks, with or without meal, it is
not advisable to waste time in cutting
them. Some cattle eat butts Of corn stalks,
when mixed with meal cold, and some
will not.


Some farmers cut their hay also, and
mix meal with it; but it is question
whether it will pay to do it, except in
cases of great scarcity of hay, when it is
advisable to have every portion of it
eaten.


Probably, taking farmers generally,
about one-third OF the entire fodder of the
farms is wasted by over feeding at ir.
regular hours, or by carelessness in al.
lowing it to get under the feet Of stock,
and then go with the bedding. Far.
ners should lay down their rules, in re.
gard to feeding stock, to hired help,
aud see that they are Obeyed. Franklin
said, "a penny saved is two pence clear,
and so it is.


Remember that warm stables, and
other shelter for stock, save o certain
portion of fodder; and as hay, &C., is
money, the farmer who lets his stock run
in his fields, to be fed from stacks Of hay,
and to lie upon the ground in such
fields, as is often done, may just as well
take money ont CT his pocket daily,
and scatter it over his fields, rs to keep
stock in that way.


A rule that every farmer should ad.
here to is, to keep no more stock than
can be kept well. If stabling and
warm sheds be wanting, wait till you
are able to build them, before you in
crease your live stock beyond your abil.
ity to keep them in warm quarters, and
to feed them well.

the sun falls to rise, or when it deisns to

a listless glance, destitute Of warmth,
toward the earth, then rolls himself up
in his clou blankets and disappears just
when he is the most wanted. Yes, au

full but deceitful; the lavs when you
roll grudgingly out OF bed an hour later
than usual aud grumble because you

halfhinted deeds of its own doing-of
