! bill of rights OF the Federal COnstitu-
ton, wherein the people Of State are
protected from oppression by the Gov
ernment of q State. He quoted from
the tenth section OF the Constitution OF
the United States to show that no Stste
can pass any bill of attainder or eT post
fGcto law, and that such prohibition
was prohibition against the condemns
ton and punishment Of citizen except
ing by judicial authority. Justice is 8
principle as distinct from power as day
is from night. Justice is here placed as
a guardian of the life, liberty and privi-
leges of the citiz IN, and it is the duty OF
the Federal Government to protect him
from oppression. No mere legislative
act can proseriDe or punish. You cannot
procribe men in q street or city. You
cannot, by legislative act, prescribe men
who voted for Grant or Seymour. The
Constitution OF Missouri provided that
every free male citizen OF the United
States, who has attained the age OF 2l
years, shall be deemed qualified voter,
etc, the General Assembly having pow
or to exclude from offices of trust or profit
all persons convicted of bribery, perjury
or other infamous crimes. The plaintiff
had 8 right to vote; but when be re-





could not. This was not in consequence
of any Judicial proceeding, but by the
exercise of political power Of the State in
imposing extraordinary conditions. He
maintained that the act OF q Legislature
which denounces, and punishing citi-
zen depriviUg him OF his civil rights, is
in the nature OF bill Of sttsinder. He
concluded, by saying: 81 am not claim
lug, as q matter of Federal control or
judicial inquiry any interference that
does not rest upon political considers
tions. No interference except such as is
within the letter and spirit Of the upright
and firm maintenance of the share OF

two clauses Of the Federal Constitution.

Some horses are much addicted to
standing in the gangway, in other words,
they stand as far out Of the stall as they
can. When first stabbed horses are more
apt to do so, as they dislike the confine-
ment. The horse may be tied short,
close to the manger, but this cannot al
ways be done, as it prevents the horse
from lying down. Some prevent this by
having bale behind the horse upon
which some prickly kind of bush is
fastened, while others obtain the same
result by passing rope from one stall
post to the other. When the horse be-
comes accustomed to stand within the
stall, the bib or rope may be removed.


Lying in the gangway is common
among those horses that stand in the
gangway. They lie so far out in the
stable, that the halter strap is put on
the stretch, and the horses head has
not sufficient freedom to allow him to
rise. He must be lOosed before he can
get up. The same method of prevention
as that recommended for standing ont
of the stall, must be used.


Some horses are addicted to the habit
of rolling in the stable; serious acci-
dents may arise from this habit. | have
known horses to sprain the loins severe
ly and to fracture the hip bones from
this cause. Some horses roll in the
stall Immediately on coming into the
stable. When a horse has been rolling
during the night, he is often found in
the morning in an awkward and painful
position; he may be lying across the
stall, or on his side with the fore and
hind legs bent between his body and
the side of the stall. The horse cannot
stir and must be brought into a differ
ent position before he can rise.


He may be turned over, or he may be
drawn away from the side of the stall
by the name and tail. When the horse
is lying on his back, rope or strap may
be fastened round the hind legs and he
may be pulled on to his side.


If horse is not in the habit of get
ting into awkward positions while roll
ing it is unnecessary to hinder him from
doing so, but when he is subject to acci-
dents the rolling must be prevented
especially at night. If a horse addicted
to this habit is placed in box stall
there is not much risk Of accident

Sour a soil and you hurt the plants
in it, Apply pomace (ground apples) }
and YOU destroy all vegetation; so with
salt applied plentifuliy. So it is with q
wet soil, swampy land. And so is with
green, anrotted manure.


And vet your swamp land when dried
and made mellow, as by aitching, plow-
ing, &C., becomes excellent land. So
salt, after its first effect is over, will en-
rich the soil green manure the same !;
and we know that pomace killing the
land as it was thought, effectually i'm
proved it afterward, but it took several
years. Urine applied fresh will hurt
plants; after while it will benefit the
soil.


Vegetation is very particular, and re-.
quires only the proper food. This food
must be prepared; it must 60 through a
process of fermentation or change, and
be resolved into the elements fit for the
plant. Then, if applied to the soil,
there will be an instantaneous effect
For this reason we rot our manure, or
compost it, and, applied in this way, if
a top-dressing on grass, the grass will
at once shoot up, dark green. The food
is prepared and at once taken. Raw
manure applied will give pale color to
the growth and stunt it. But this raw
manure put into the soil and permitted
there to decompose, will be in an equally
good condition to be taken up by the
plants. The droppiEgs of cow yard
are soon reduced to condition ofplant-
food. In the spring all is right. You
will see the grass (what there is left)
start up, and earlier than in almost any
other place. fit is an eastern exposure
this is entirely so; no other place will
be found so early, green and so dark
green. 1t is not alone the strength of
the manure that does this-though that
is much, very much-but the soil is
kept comparatively warm by the ma
nure. There is less heat in the soil in
consequence, and sooner out.


Here there is an Importance that can
not be overlooked. A rich soil not only
grows better, but earlier, giving an
earlier start, growing more rapidly, ma
turing sooner, and, in the case of grass,
adds another crop to the season, so that
manure may be considered as an engine,
the stronger the more work it will do;
or strong man doing more work than
a weak ono. Manure is power, it is life
as well; it does for farmer; is his
greatest help on the farm. Without it,
soil is dead. With it, what spring of
vegetation What luxuriant growth
wherever it is found 1t is sure to
make itself known. The growth, the
vegetation, is this manure, showing
itself in the different forms according
through what it passes.


The true farmer knows how to direct
this; the farmer who knows less, knows
less how to direct it; the best informed
of all knows how to direct it, and is the
great, the successful farmer. The poor
est farmer is the poorest in knowledge.
Ill this points to science and manure.
We cannot ignore these, especially as
the scientific men around us are our
competitors. This will be more and
mere so rs science advances. The poor
farmer must of necessity be left behind.
Schools, colleges, are getting to be
necessity, or at least instruction is.

This judgment was by law vested
right, a lien, a contract. Had the State
the constitutional power to divest the
plaintiff of his rights, and invest the de-
fendant with them?


Upon the principle involved in this
case, there is difference between liens
by mortgage and Judgment. :. The form
er are specific, the latter general, but
both are vested, legal rights, emitting
the holder to a ssle of the property, or so
much thereof as will be sufficient to sat
isfy the demand.


In myjudgmeat, so much of the Act
of the General Assembly as exempts q
portion of the land levied on from sale
under execution is in conflict with the
Constitution Of the United States and
void.


It is therefore ordered that the Sheriff
proceed to sell the property levied upon
and advertised for sale in this case with.
out regard to the provisions ofthe law
in relation TO tho Homestead, passed
since the rendition Of the judgment,
and that he execute the process of the
Court, enforcing the judgment accord
ing to the remedy existing at the time
of the rendition of the judgment, and
the making of the contract between the
parties"


The case will doubtless 60 before the
Supreme Court Of the State for final
hearing. If that tribunal sustains Judge
Carpenters views, the Sheriff will be
at work again, undoing the calculations
Of many families who have relied upon
this law as their only protection from
want The people of the State are
not ready to have final opinion pro-
nounced on this question now. A year
or two more, with ordinary prosperity,
will result in the honest debtors hav-
ing compromised his old dues, and re-
lieyed himself from the fear of the Sher-
iff We hope the Supreme Court will
mot hurry to decision of this question;
and by this means give our people a
further breathing spell. Every day
is diminishing the amount of indebted
ness, under fair compromises. A year
or two more is all that is needed.

DANCING THE DEATH CoTttLtoN IN
THE A1R.-A lady by the name of Mrs.
Roach, was recently murdered In the
County of Ats:in, Texas.


She was sitting in her chamber sew
ing, when some unknown person fired
through the window, killing her instant
ly. The murder created the widest
excitement in the vicinity, aud every
effort was made to discover the perpe-
traitor. Suspicion fell upon young
man whose suit to Mrs. Roach's daugh.
ter had been rejected, and he was ar
rested. A remarkable circumstance
fixed the crime upon. In his pocket
was found a copy yofthe New Orleans Bull
letin, from which piece had been torn.
On the floor of the foom in which Mrs.
Roach was shot, piece of paper was
picked up, scorohed and discolored by
powder, which precisely fitted to the
torn place in the paper. This confirm.
alton of their suspicious induced the
neighbors to escort the young man to a
neighboring grove, where he-was soon
put to dancing the death.collion in the

tracing debts payable in the distant fu'

A PROSTATE commerce is to be re-
built and all industries encouraged
The young men of the country, those
who from their age must be its rulers
twenty-five years hence, have greater
interest in maintaining the national

what will be our commanding influence
among the nations Of the earth in their
day, if they are only true to themselves
should inspire them with national pride.
All divisions, geographical, political and
religious, can join in this common SEN
timent.


How the public debt is to be paid or
specie payments resumed is not so i'm.
portant as that policy should be a.
dopted and acquiesced in. The deter
mination to do is worth more than di-
vidcd councils upon the method of djing.
Legislation upon this subject may not
be necessary now, nor even advisable !;
but it will be when civil law is more
fully restored in all parts of the coun-
try, and trade resumes its wonted chan
nels.


1t will be my endcavor to execute all
laws in good faith, to collect all reve-
MUGS assessed, and to have them prop
erly accounted for and. economically
disbursed.


I will, to the best of my ability, ap-
point to Office only those who will carry
out this design.


In regard to foreign policy, would

dealings with US, we are compelled to
follow their precedent.


The proper treatment of the original
occupants of this land, the Indian, is
one deserving Of careful study. I will
favor any course towards them which
tends tc their civilization and ultimate

The question of suffrage is one which
is likely to agitate the public so long as
a portion of their people is to be exclu-
ded from its privileges in any State. 1t
seems to me very desirable that this

entertain the hope. and express the de-
sire that it my be by the ratification of
the Fifteenth article of amendment to

In conclusion, I ask patient forbear-
ancc throughout the land, and a deter
mined effort on the paft of every citizeii

happy union; and I ask the prayers Of
the nation to Almighty God in behalf
of this consummation.

The Chronicle and Sentinel well says:
We are fearful lest the present high
price of cotton shall induce the Georgia
planter to devote too much of his land
this year to the production of that sta
pie to the neglect of a full corn crop.
Such policy, if adopted, will surely
lead to the ruin of fthose who engage in
it. We care lot what price cotton may
bring, the first duty of those planters
who would prosper is to secure full and

er to buy bacon than to raise it, when
pound of cotton will bring the price
required to purchase pound of bacon;
and that an acre of land planted in cot
ton will bring money enough at present
prices to purchase as much corn as three
or four acres will produce. Those who
argue in this way, and act in accord
ance with these theories, will always be
poor. Their stock and work animals
will never be able to perform full work,
and every living thing about the plan
tation will speak trumpet-tonged against
such false system.


It matters not how much cotton the
planter produces, he can never make
large net gain so long as he compelled
to purchase at high prices everything
consumed iu making the crop. A large
crop of cotton made in this way would
tend to depress prices while the e1traor-
dinary demand for grain and provisions
growing out ola failure on the part of
cotton planters to make their own sup
plies, would send prices up. This, then,
is the inevitable result to be derived
from large cotton to the exclusion Of
corn plantiug--low priced cotton-hig h
priced corn--lean and weak work stock
starved farm animals-empty pock-
ets--shoeless children-threadbare clo-

thins and sour dispositions.


The experience flour planting friends
will bear US out in the declaration that
planters will not feed sufficiently when
they have to buy provisions. They
will also purchase cheap supplies-mus-
ty corn, poor bacon, etc., which In turn
produces disease among their stock,
and often heavy losses in the very midst
of the plowing season. Have we all
forgotten so soon the distress and want
