A Stirring Address by Ex-Vice-President Colfax.

Sooth Bkhd, Ind., Oct. 7. A large sad ewtimsjßptie Republic** meeting was held in this city to-night. The Hon. Schuyler Colfax presided, and openedfthe meeting with a stirring ad; dress qf about twenty-fire minutes' length, to which the audience listened witk rapt -attention, ajad heartily applauded him at the close. He said: Again, as more than once in the recent past, the continued ascendency of the Re, publican organisation becomes Sr matter of national importance. In the dark hours of the rebellion its overthrow would have been hailed, not only with exultant joy, bat With inspiring hope also, by every rebel in council or in camp. When the reinauguration of Abraham Lincoln and another Republican Congress so materially aided the heroism of th*eoidiere of the Union in ending the jv«, and thedisloyal Btate Governments recognized by the overthrown Confederacy had tumbled into ruins, nothing "but' Republican supremacy prevented their reconstruction oh *a basis that would have virtually festered slavery, by infamous enactments that all colored laborers who did not hire out for a year should be sold as vagrants for a term of time at the court-house door of their county. Foiled in this vile attempt by the unyielding opposition of the victorious Republican party, >iolenee was next resorted to ha many localities where they h*< 1 power, and especially when they thought the signs of the times foreshadowed Republican defeat. The wholesale and defiant expulsion of the colored members of the Georgia Legislature, and putting in their seats the rebels they had defeated at the polls, was an illustration of one class of these outrages; aq<i the bloody masBacre of 1866 at New Orleans was directly traceable to the hope of Republican overthrow, based on the defection of Andrew Johnson and his supporters. Not content with this, the iufamous Ku-Klux Kian, by murders, whippings, torture and menace, established their reign of terror over the colored race, absolutely compelling many white citizens also to make apublic renunciation of their political faith to avert threatened death, and exiling others from their homes by denunciatory messages and personal intgntdation by these masked and malignant outlaws. Although these outrages, so disgraceful to a civilized nation, and especially so to one claiming to be as free as ours, were ridiculed as false by many yho knew better, they con-" ' tinned to dishonor large portions of the Southern States until national legislation, enacted by Republican votes in Congress, brought these unrepentant and vindictive rebels to justice, and sent many of them to the prisons they so richly deserved. And the Congressional investigation proved that even the half of their crimes had not been previously known. Now, when hope of Republican defeat revives in their breasts, tije work of massacre and outrage recommences, staining our national escutcheon and dishonoring our American name and fame. The White Man’s League, inspired by treason, whose cornerstone is hatred of the constitutional amendments, and whose organization is military and threatening, takes np the work of terrorizing the South which the exposed and convicted Ku-Klux were compelled temporarily to abandon. And hence I repeat, in conclusion as] at the commencedwit, that the continued ascendency of ther organization is a matter of far more importance to the nation than to the party itself. Its overthrow would be hailed with exultation by every one who there under supervision that the candid of all parties would have pronounced impartial; or whether the remarkable agreement entered into there does not concede, by the public pledge of those calling themselves the Conservative People’s party that “ they will • cause all violence and intimidation, if any exist, to cease throughout the State,” that they have the power, by their organization, to command or to restrain such “ violence and intimidation.” My purpose is above anything of a partisan character. It is to show that our endangered national character should be considered by all our people; and that to allow the humblest of our citizens to be oppressed or outraged on account of his political principles dishonors us all and shames us before the world.

I abstain from any analysis of the principles of the White League, except to say that their arguments could be used against poor or unlearned men because of their poverty or ignorance as forcibly as against men of color because of their color; and to add that their organization is as unconstitutional in its spirit as one that would propose to refuse New England or Indiana any representation in the Benate, or to assume the payment by the nation of the rebel debt. .The Fourteenth Am ndment to our National Constitution declares all of our people citizens of the United States as well as of their respective States, and eguarantees to . them equal protection under the law, irrespective of race or color.' And that solemn constitutional pledge of the Republic must be maintained against all enemies, if we do not wish our land to become a byword and a reproach among the nations of the earth. Of course all crime and violence cannot be extirpated before the millennium. But the era of political assassination, outrage and intimidation must cease, if we would not be irretrievably disgraced. Every citizen, no matter how poor or friendless, must be protected in the South in the exercise of his free speech and free ballot, exactly as those who fought to destroy the nation are protected in their liberty and property, their politics and persons, at the North. This era of violence on account of political opinions must cease. Twenty years ago, In Kansas, white men were threatened, outraged, murdered, because they preferred liberty to slavery. A few years later the whole South became the arena of similar violence, and you cannot have forgotten how a poor white man, who dared to defend liberty and the Union, was barreled up at Friar’s Point, Miss., and the barrel rolled into the river, that he might die the most horrid of deaths to punish him for his principles. And I need not repeat the sad stories of recent political assassinations, which, in spite of all attempts to palliate them, stand out before the world in all their wicked and inexcusable enormity. It is not my purpose to discuss the Louisiana question in any of its aspects as to whether the Kellogg administration was a de jure government, as it certainly was de facto, or whether it might not have been wiser for Congress to have ordered a new election ever wore a Ku-Klux mask, or had enjoyed the murdering of Radicals, or who had participated ill the burning of negro schoolhouses. The deeds of violence which have shocked the civilized world, and would dishonor even barbarism itself, would be multiplied ten-fold in their joy at the defeat of the power under whose restraint, exposure and punishment they' have so long and unwillingly chafed. For they have realized that whenever the arm of the State was in any way so shortened it either could not or would not defend and protect those whose votes established the three great amendments to the Constitution and have insisted that the arm of the nation should be extended to defend even the humblest or poorest of our people in the rights guaranteed by these amendments as potentially as if they were the richest or proudest of the land. It is certainly fitting that one as entirely outside, in thought or in desire, of all public life as I am should speak thus plainly. For it concerns the citizen even more than the politician. If the most friendless of all our citizens should be molested abroad because of his principles the nation would insist, through its navy and army, on adequate redress and punishment. And, on our own soil, the same citizen is entitled to the same protection. If the nation claims the right to come to your house or mine, South or Northland to compel us to enter its army, and bleed and die *for its protection, we have the light to claim the protection of the nation in all our rights of citizenship, if needed; for allegiance and protection are one and inseparable, now and forever. And the South understands right well that the party which established in the Constitution equal protection for all intends to go to the foulest extent of constitutional power in the maintenance of these rights against all enemies, open or masked, at home as well as abroad. Often during the war and during reconstruction, when sophistical appeals were made to you to vote some other ticket, I told you there was one ballot that every rebel, and the whole world besides, understood without any. explanation; that whenyou voted the Republican ticket ail mankind understood that you meant tire rebellion had to be destroyed, and. all rebel plans had to be overthrown. Again I sav to you, with equal emphasis and sincerity, if you wish unrepentant rebels to understand that the three constitutional amendments, the result of the war, must be main-

yjyjr ■ tainedand obeyed, vote the Republican ticket. If youwish them to understand that political ruffianism and assassination must cease in the South, vote the Republican ticket If you would command these political murderers to poorest -to be protected equally with the moat influential, remember that “a Republican ballot at the North may stop a White League bullet at the South.” Your solid, triumplfadl Republican voting heretofore spoke for ttaeUmon, ter liberty and for a victorious and beneficial peace more commandingly man all your oratqrs. And exactly similar Republican voting *Ol speak Jost as effectively and authoritatively for peace fc> for law and order, for perand assassination niter. And mis is your personal responsibility to-day.

Another Document from Gov. Kellogg.

New Orleans, La., Oct. 7,1874. The following letter is in relerence to tlwf ad4ress of the Conservative Committee, which was telegraphed hence last evening: State or Louisiana, Executive Department, t Miv Orluka Oct. 7, 1874. j Hon. B. H. Mart, Chairman Democratic State Central Committee: Sib—l have last read with surprise and regret the address of the committee of which you are Chairman. The occasion of yoar address is the annonneement of yonr acquiescence in the proposition in regard to the method of holding the coming election, recently agreed to in conference both by the Republican State Central Committee and by your committee. I ask you to contrast the manner and spirit in which this proposition has been received and acted upon by these committees respectively. The Republican Committee, actuated by a spirit which was naturally supposed to inspire such measures of adjustment, refrained from any allusion to recent occurrences in this city and State and abstained from any denunciation of their political opponents. In your address you take occasion to recapitulate the old charges of oppression and. cow ruption brought against the Republican party and the present State Government, notwithstanding the uncontradicted and uncontrovertible state, ments in my published address of the 80th ultshow that the present State Government is not responsible for either the present State debt or taxation, but has reduced noth, and also shows that for most of the debt and taxation of both State and city the Democratic party is directly accountable, you explain that the police Juries of parishes are swelling the taxes, bnt you fail to state that the takes are highest in some of the the strongest -Democratic parishes. You assert, as a reason for the recent disturbances, that we have been engaged in inciting hostilities between whites and blacks, and that arms had been and were being fnrnished-the latter. This I emphatically deny and challenge you to produce any' proof to sustain the assertion. On the other hand you are fully aware-that large quantities of arms nave been shipped to this Sts 1 !* for the purpose of arming the whites against the blacks, with a view not only to intimidate the colored people, but also to overthrow iheconstituted authorities of the State. But perhaps the most extraordinary statement contained in your address is the following: “Hence, the Presidential proclamation was no sooner heralded but he (referring to mv self) managed to inaugurate conferences to adjust the troubles. A Committee of Conference, selected by Jtim, met a .similar , committee selected by Gov. McEneryatkl Penn.” So uncalled for and groundl©e#is this statement that I cannot for a moment believe that those who represented yofcr party is the Committee of Conference were consulted before this publication was made. I was not present when a committee from your side first called upon Mr. Packard and others at"the Custom-House, directly after the events of the 14th of September, though I warmuc£ gratified at the prospect that the conferences so held would secure the people a fair registration and an election uninfluenced by violence, intimidation or fraud. This I have from the first desired, and still earnestly wish to see. 1 took part for a few moments, by invitation, at two or three discussions entered into with this object in view, but the statement that I managed to inaugurate the conferences is entirely Untrue, as is also the assertion that I selected the committee who acted in. behalf of the Republican party. I refrain from saying more on this point, except that I and toy- frienda will, faithfully carry out the terms of the agreement we have entered into, which I desire to remind you was strictly confined to matters of registration and election, and I trust your party, who virtually assumed the responsibility of the violence ana intimidation heretofore existing in the State, will carry out your part, of the agreement by suppressing the same. In your address, I perceive you say “We merely pledge ourselves to lend our aid and influence to preserve order, provided the agreement is in its spirit fairly executed in all respects.” In the formal protocol, signed on the 28th of Septemyour representatives said: “The committee representing the Conservative People’s party pledge themselves to cause all violence and intimidation, if any exist, to cease throughout the State, and to assist the constituted authorities in maintaining peace, and in insuring a strictly fair and impartial registration and election.” Permit me to say, in conclusion, that the whole tenor of your address, which assumes toward the Republican party a tone of superiority and acrimony, ill becomes the subject or the occasion. Very respectfully, (Signed) William P. Kellogg.

An Unreliable Witness.

Liberal Kepublican and Demopr&tic journals are publishing with a great flourish a letter written by W. H. Chambers, Master of the State Grange of Alabama, to O. H. Kelly, Secretary of the National Grange, denying that there are any serious act s of lawlessness in that State, and alleging that the whites of Alabama are as law-abiding as those of New York. These opposition journals also take pains to say Chambers is not a politician, and therefore his testimony ought to-be conclusive! The plain f aets are, that Chambers was an original, active, unqualified secessionist; was a delegate in the Democratic State Convention of Alabama in July last; was subsequently a candidate for Congress in the Democratic Convention in the Third Congressional District and came within three votes of a nomination; and is the apologist and defender of such Ku-Klux assassins as Renfro, who is now on trial in Mobile. This is the kind of witness whom the opposition press of the North are indorsing as unprejudiced and reliable. — lnter- Ocean.

The Outrages in Sumter County, Ala.

WASHINGTON, D. C., Oct. 7. Atty.-Gen. Williams has received from official sources, which he considers entirely trustworthy, the following statement as to the difficulties in Sumter County, Ala.: The white people have an organization throughout the county known as the White League. They are determined that the negroes shall not vote at 'the coming election unless they vote with the League. To effect this, everything is done to intimidate the black people. The two most active Republicans in the county —Billings (white) and Ives (colored) —have been assassinated since the Ist of August. These murders have had a very great effect upon the colored people. To keep up the fear among the blacks the whites get together almost every day and night ana* no & the roads in squads of from thirty to, fifty men, armed with shot-guns.pretending that the negroes are arming and gathering to attack the white people, which is not the case. There have been no parties of negroes of any strength together.

HOUSEHOLD HINTS.

Neuralgia Remedy.— Prepare horseradish by grating' and mixing In vinegar the flame as for thble purposes, and apply to the tefffpfle When the face or head is affected, or the Wrist when the pain is ia the arm or shoulder. *• Remedy fob Croup.— Half a teaspoonful of pnlyerized alum in a little molasses. It is a simple remedy, one almost always at hand, and one dose seldom fails to give relief. If it should, repeat it after one hour. — Rural New Yorker. , Lemon Tartlets— Rub a teacupful of sugar in lumps over the rind of a fresh lemon so as to absorb all the essential oil; squeeze the juice of the lemon over the sugar; crush it fine with a .sponge; add to it two eggs well beaten and two tablespoonfuls of sweet butteE; beat all together and bake in little patty-pans, lined with puff paste. Sugar Snaps. —One cup of butter, two cups of sugar, four cups of flour, one egg; stir sugar and butter to a cream; add the egg well beaten, and a small teaeupful of water with a quarter of a teacupful of soda dissolved in it; stir.half a spoonful of cream tartar into the flour; roll out very thin, and bake in a moderate oven. Flannel Rolls.—One cup of sweet milk, whites of two eggs, two-thirds of a cup of butter, flour to make a thick batter, one-half of a cup of yeast, two tablespoon fuls of sugar. Raise over night; add the butter and eggs in the morning; work in some flour, making a limber dough; form into rolls, and after the sficondffiising-bake. Apple Flap. —Prepare tart apple ready for stewing; sprinkle with sugar. Then lay over it a puff paste of one pint milk, one or two eggs, one heaping teaspoonful cream tartar, one-half,' teaspoonful of soda; flour enough to make stiff paste so as to drop from the spoon, enough water to stew the apples soft. Keep the pot covered tightly to prevent the contents being heavy. Shake it, not stir, to keep it from burning. A Nice Pudding Sauce.— Mix one cup sugar, four teaspoonfuls of corn starch and just cold water enough to dissolve thoroughly, then pour «n a cup of betting water and let it boil twenty minutes or half an hour. Then add' two tablespoonfuls of good cream. Flavor with currant, strawberry or raspberry juice. In making sauce if the flour and 'Sugar water boil a good while the sauce looks clearer and nicer; common white flour is just as good as corn starch. Use a little more water than the recipe, so as to allow for boiling away.

Shaker Plan of Raising Calves.

One of the Shaker brotherhood gave to a correspondent of the Country Gentleman the plan of raising calves pursued at Shaker Village", in Merrimac County, N. H.: We take the calves from the cows when six days old and feed them on two quarts of new milk three times a day, until they are four weeks old. The fifth week we gradually reduce the quantity of new milk and add skimmed milk, increasing the quantity by the close of the week to three parts at a feeding. All the new milk given to the calves should be taken from their mothers. t From the time they are five weeks until they are three months old they are fed on porridge prepared as follows: Half a pint of oat meal, one gill of cracked wheat, boiled one hour in six quarts of water; in cool weather a day’s allowance may he cooked at a time. To two quarts of this add two quarts of skimmed milk, making four quarts three times a day. The milk should be gently warmed to about the temperature of new milk, taking care not to scald it, as it will produce colic. If calves ihcline to scour, one or two raw eggs beat in their milk will generally effect a cure. We give four quarts of the mixture at a feeding until they are ten weeks old, then gradually diminish the quantity during the next two weeks, when they are weaned and turned out to pasture. From the time they enter the feeding pens until they leave for the pasture there is constantly kept by them a supply of roots —beets or potatoes, cut into long, thin slices. We prefer beets, as they prove to be the most nutritious. When grass cannot be procured, a cribful of early-cut or second-crop hay should be kept by them. The pens should be kept clean and dry; to do this they must be cleaned and new bedding put in every day. The calves you saw when in our place show the success of our plan of feeding. When eleven weeks old their average weight was 230 pounds.

Wheat Without Manure.

Our readers have been frequently advised of what has been done by Mr. Lawes, of England, in the way of raising repeated crops of grain upon the same land year after year, both without and with manure. But Mr,, labors have been experimental. We have now before us a report of the sales of the standing crops of wheat, oats and clover upon two farms in England upon which these crops have been raised successfully for a dozen years, and sold standing, to be cut and carted away by the purchasers, both straw and grain together. No stock is kept upon these farms. No manure is used upon them. Deep plowing by steam and draining to further deepen the soil are the only means by which these crops are produced year after year. One of these farms is otvned and cultivated by Mr. Prout, of Saw*. bridgeworth, and consists of 450 acres. The present season’s crop was chiefly wheat, which, sold by the acre as it stood, realized from $45 to SB9 per acre for grain and straw. The purchaser in all cases does the harvesting. The average prices were, for wheat, $54.40 per acre; oats, $49 per acre, and clover, $52 per acre. The whole proceeds of the 450 acres were $23,141, an average of $58.80 per acre. The average result of the past seven years? crops has been $51.25 per acre. The farm was purchased twelve years ago and was thqn in poor condition. It was drained and $4,090 worth of chemical fertilizers were used, to bring it into a producing state. Sinee then it has been cultivated deeply by steam each year, but no fertilizer has been used, nor has the straw even been retained upon the farm. The other

farm is owned by Mr. Middleditch, of Wißahke. It, has been managed upon the same plan. The crops upon this farm brought from $lB to SB6 per acre, or an average of $55. The aftermath of some fields of sadfoin, which Were to be pastured by sheep, sold for slfl to $lB per acre. There are 690 acres in this fann. Both farms have a .clay foil, and are fairly good wheat lands, bjU at the commencement of this cropping were much run down. The farmers who purchased the crops, mid some who had taken them for several years, said that those of the present year were the best crops for several years, and Mr. Prout expressed the opinion that he could ttamj farm “ as long as he lived, and his son after him.” We do not pretend to make any application of this anomalous kind of fanning, but merely give the facts. At the same time we cannot refrain from comparing it with some farms we have seen in the rich valleys of Ohio and westward, where for twenty years the merest scratching of the deep, rieh soil, and the raising of wheat upon the unplowed corh-stubble, year after year, has made farmers comfortable, if not rich, and thinking at the same time that it is possible, if those rich lands were better treated, and farmed more with the plow and less with the barrow, that they might produce better crops than .they now do, and remain profitable to their owners for an indefinite number of years to come. —American Agriculturist.

The Nutriment of Wheat.

It is probably a fact—-whether possessing any special significance or not—that the nations which subfiist most largely upon bread made from wheat flour'Brfe the most refined, enlightened, enterprising and intellectual. A. scientific journal-carries this analysis of the influence of food upon human development still farther, and declares that in any given community the class who. eat the most wheat bread are the most liberally endowed with brains. It argues that wheat is a great promoter of intellectual vigor, and maintains it to be a wellestablished fact that “the great breadeaters are the great thinkers, or that the phosphorus which wheat contains in the outer kernel, immediately beneath the husk, is the feeder of brains, and the material substance which provokes to thought, study, reason and alb the forms of nervous energy.” We are not prepared to dispute the soundness of this theory, which has doubtless a valid foundation in the laws of physical science, and moreover agrees with common observation, sip far as it goes. Neither would we discourage the adoption of wheat bread as a leading article of diet, and in fact as the “ staff of life,” of which title there is no danger of its being dispossessed in any civilized country. But the Scriptural injunction that “ man shall not live by bread, alone” is not only a spiritual but a plain physiological law. As we have remarked in former discussions of this topic, there must be bulk as well as nutriment in any properly-constituted system of diet. Vegetables, fruit, and the coarse and wholesome dishes which the poor would gladly yet mistakenly exchange for the indigestible luxuries of the rich are imperatively demanded by the stomach as a part of its daily supplies; it cannot perform its duties and keep its associated and dependent organs in proper condition upon concentrated forms of food alone, such as the bread made from finely-ground wheat flour. And whatever special virtue such food may have in nourishing the brain, there will be no effective brain-work done except in brief and spasmodic efforts, unless the body also is healthfully fed. Let no one, therefore, try the Experiment of nourishing the brain at the expense of the other less esteemed but not less essential organs, by adopting exclusively a diet “ which provokes to thought, study, reason, and all the forms of nervous energy.” That way dyspepsia lies. Balance the feeding of the brain with the nourishment of the flesh and bear in mind that the faculty of thinking can only be sustained in permanent vigor by an equally faithful culture of the faculties of sleeping, of physical labor and exercise, of recreation and of ali the functions, the result of whose harmonious activity is “ a sound mind in a sound body.” —Mechanical News.

Importance of Clean and Early Seed.

Tillers of the soil may greatly increase the amount of their crops by using clean seed and keeping the land free 1 from weeds. This is particularly the case with wheat. It is nothing uncommon for farmers having eight or ten acres of wheat to have mixed with it ten or fifteen bushels of cockle and chess. It. is believed that 200 bushels of cockle and chess is a small amount to Set down against the town where the writer resides per year. Allowing that other towns in the county raise the same amount each, it would give us about 1,000 bushels in the county. Allowing fifty wheat-growing counties in the State and we should have 200,000 bushels. Now suppose that only ten, times as much wheat is grown in the United States, equally foul, and we have 2,800,000 bushels. Every plant of cockle or chess Occupied as much ground and drew as much fertility from the soil as a wheat plant would; hence it is plain that by clean culture we can increase our wheat crop largely. Cockle and chess are nothing but weeds, and like all other weeds they are hardy, withstanding summer’s heat and winter’s cold. — N. T.
