Pendlet ! " I Tv f;ninnati tu 10th 5nt:int. ft . ported by telegraph "I cannot SgfW with Gov. Hayes, that all vexed question of our national politics are wisely and happily settled that the j-rest questions of liberty and union, end the reconstruct ion of the Union, have been made safe. I cannot agree that retrenehment, economy and honesty have been introduced into the management of the Federal expenditures that the debt has been decreased, and is in the course of decreasing, as he states it that the burdens of taxation have hern reduced, and the;r weight upon the people has been lightened that sound judgment and freedom from bad influences have been brought into exercise by the immense power of the Se cretary of the Treasury : that business is active that enterprise is active that vigor and energy and industrv are bountifully rewarded thai employment b abundant thai daily toil is rainy compensated that commerce on the ocean and on the land is prosperous; and, therefore, I cannot serenely, as does our worthy (Jovernor, turn my an from all the tpiestions of Federal polities, and look only at state auairs. It ought to be. If it were not for schemes of consolidationif State affairs were left to State management if Federal aflain wen kept within the seopeof the constitutional provisions, it would be so. But I cannot pretetd to believe what I know to be Use. I cannot say that the Union is restored when Virginia and MfawitHTppi and Texal are under military mi rninents : Union is restored when justice is administered by a drum head court martial ; the Constitution is maintained when vre know that the Supreme Cowl is only waiting an opportunity to deelare the reconstnn tion acts nnconstitutional. I oppose the adoptkm ef the Uii teenth amendment, becaoae it b a material, radical ebaage in our system of gar-rmu'-nt. It destroys the retetioa of the Met of the Federal LTaioa which the Constitution established.

Two yean ago the people of Ohio, without distinction of party, byan bnnaenae majority, refused to amend the S ate Constitution, after full arr;iti -it and lull consideration of nesrro suifraffe. I ss e no reason to be lieve that tiny have changed their opinion. I object to its adoption, becaase by the gtroncest implication it confers upon Con rn and reserves to t:ie States tiie right to exclude from the ballot persona of our own white race, because of their nativity, creed, want of education, or pOTCrty, and prohibits the exclusion of another race. If! ?. . ... .... . "T . ,1 tlie interpretation of Senator Morton and Senator Howard be correct, under this amendment of Congress, states may exclude Irishmen, Cerinans, Catholic, Proti rfawftl or poor men from enjoying suffragCf bat rso negroes or Mongolians. I object to its adoption, because it hi part and parcel of a sefbeine to Sood the country' with the forced importation of an Immense! number of Chinese, ol coolies, and bring into our mid-; an alien race, and repeat in a more difficull fona the social and governmental questions which hare so unhappily divided our people.

Why should it not be so increased? There were not a half-dozen KcnuMican newspapers in the country which did not assail 3lr.

Our pop ulation has increased; business has been extended: new channels off enterprise have been opened. In Which large sums could be safely invested and the volnme off currency has been diminished. Instead of mcreasing it to meet new wants created by the extension off business, and gf i.vth off population, it has been contracted. The question is not whether Mr. Boutwell has a large or small amount of green backs in the treasury, hoi whether the business necessities off the country do not demand an hien ace off the currency. The (acts above stated are a sufficient answer to this question, and the voters of Ohio Will show that they esteem them to be so. Gkiengo Tli.u , September 1 :'. An Adventure aj Niagara Falls.

About ninety or a hundred feet from the lop, the remains of my vest caught on projecting rock, and I was almost drowned before could get loose. I finally fell, and brought up in a world of w hite loam at the toot ol the Fall, whose celled and bubbly ni; s s towered up several inches above my head.

But so long as I find here the only real elysium, I cannot hesitate in my choice. Mj work is writing, and I do not hesitate) though I know that no subject is too trivial for me, tried by ordinary standards; for, ye tools, the theme is nothing, the life is everything. All that interests the leader is the depth and intensity of the life exerted. We touch our subject but bv a point which has no breadth, but the pyramid of our experience, or our interest in it. rests on us bv a broader or narrower base. What is man is all in all, Nature nothing but as she n renecis mm. ivu.ue - and homelv themes. It is wise to write on many subjects, to try many themes, that so you may tind the right and inspiring one. He greedy of occasions to express your thoughts; improve the opportunities to draw analogies; there are innumerable avenues to the perception of the truth. Improve the suggestion of each object, however bumble, however slight and transient the provocation ; what else is there to be improved? Who knows what opportunities he may neglect; it is not in vain, that the mind turns aside this way or that: follow its leading, apply it whither it inclines to go. Probe the universe in a myriad points. Be avaricious of these impulses. Nature makes a thousand acres to get one oak. He is a wise man and experienced who has taken manv views, to whom stones, and p, hhimmh, iuuBijnauuigwH have eacn suggested something, coninouiea something, rve cannot write 1 A. - A. well or truly, but what we write with guio. ine lkjuj ami senses niui nm- .. mt. l l l . spure witn the mind : hxpcricnce is the act i uir wnoie man mat our speccii may I)e vascular.

A writer, a man writing, is the scribe of all nature, he is the corn and the grass and the atmos phere writing. It is always essential that we live to do what we are doing, do it with a heart. There are flowers of thought, and there are h aves of thought, and most of our thoughts are merely haves, to which the threa 1 of thought Is the stem. Whatever things I perceive with my entire man, those let me record, and it will he poetry.

Thf. mode of gathering the marketable ovstcr mav not be general iv understood by consumers, who seldom i rouble themselves about such matters, to long as the edible suits their pabtte; but for the benlit of those desirous of information, a brief description will, no doubt, be interesting. Seed oysters are generally obtained by the Shrewsbury men in tinJames river, and near Cherrystone Inlet, Virginia, and a portioL arc sometimes procured from the inlets and bays on the Sound. These seedlings are very small in si. ', ranging from that of a new penny pii ce to that of the Old copper cent. The price of seed oysters ranges from SO cents to SI per bushel, when delivered at the beds, and they are then sown broadcast over the depleted beds of the previous season Once planted, the new beds are marked Off by long stakes, whose tops gently undulate in the current of the stream for full three jean, the oysters they guard not being disturbed during that time, except by some accidental occurrence. After three years quiet growth, the oyster-beds are prospected about the latter part of August, and an idea gained a- to the probable yield. If the result i a good one, and the oysters prove to be alive and well, raking is commenced In : September, and continued until the ice in the river Btopfl business and closes the season. An oyster rake, or tonirs, is a singular Instrument in appearance, bat exceedingly effective for the purpose it is intended for. Imagine two long sah sticks linked together by a strong rivet boom fifteen inches from the lower ends, armed with a stout cross piece of steel properly bra; ed with iron rods. The inner sides Of these cross pieces bear a formidable row of steel teeth, each rOJV working inside tin-other.

On feeling bottom he with a peculiar rocking motion of his body and boat takes s firm hold of the Accumulated oysters, and on getting a full load haul-- up the rake and dumps fiie contents into the punt. Each rake brings up nearly a bushel of oysters, mud, and waste shells, and ajaoon as the boat is laden the raker pulls in shore. He then selects a lavorable location on the beach and shovels the mass out of the boat in a thick laver ?n lhe höre, usually taking care that the incoming uue nas access to it tor the pura i At ft a .

Toward the end of the season the raking is continually carried on, In anticipation of the appearance of lee, and the culled oysters are then dumped in the water near shore as a re serre for the regain fall supply.

The tmatnenn hi 'i hazardous one, and require considerable capital Some of th;beds in this river arc rained at fS, 000 or $10,000 each, and the smaller ones seldom fall b :kw $1,000.

This is an invaluable recipe, and every poor, tired woman, should try it. Washing Wool in (Jerniany.

How to Keep Hals from Destroying Harness. Almost every person who uses a har ness has been more or annoyed hv having them injured by rats. We give a few hints as to how this may be avoided, though everybody knows, or affects to know, what is best The recti jits here given are collected from different sonn a Take about a teaspoonfui of Ceyenne pepper, mix it thoroughly with a quart of oii, and ruh the harness with the mixture. This, it la claimed, will not only keep rats and mice from gnawing the harness, but it will ;ilso prevent horses and colts from chewing the lines or halters. Take two quarts of green leck, pour over then one gallon of oil, and let it -land a few days h Tore Ualng; the longer it siands the better. A little benalne robbed over the harness alter it has been oiled is said to he a sure preventive, but is not reeornniended by many, on ace., unt of the idea that it injures the leather. One ounce of aloes to one gallon of oil will prevent rata from destroying the harness. It is also claimed by mixing a small quantity, say n lablcspoonful, of pirn- tar to one qnart of oil, harness will be most effectually protected from any injury; but if too much is put on the leather win not absorb it. It will collect dirt, besidi i making the harness unpleasant to handle. lliirnexs tC Carriage Ju'trn d. Ventilat ion.

lias been well fitted and the fitting may be made more complete by adapting it to the grooves in the sash and its frame, if any exist no draught will be experienced in consequence of the displacement of the sasli at this part The effect of such an arrangement is, however, to cause a separation between the bars of the sashesat the centre. By this means a perpendicular current of air will be projected into the room between the glass in the upper and lower sashes and their respective bars, or

else tfae current will pass outward in the reverse direction, in a manner bv which all inconvenience from draught will be avi lided. Supposing that two or more windows at opposite sides of a room are fitted in this manner, a very satisfactory ventilation will le secured. Owing to a difference in its equilibrium, the air will rush in on one side and rush out on the other side of the ipartinent. If the slips ol wood are painted 01 the same color as the windows 1h(iselves, they will attract Utile notice. Ootid Health. Fruits Dying Out. A few days since we had occasion to visit a small village, about eighteen miles from the citv of New 1 ork, on the northern side ol Long Island ; and in our walks in the neighborhood we came across an orch ard of dwarf pear-trees, planted in one of those moist depressions on high ground so common on Long Island. It was well drained naturally, and sheltered by woods and still higher ground on every side ex cept the south, i he trees appeared to be Irom six to seven years planted, and were loaded with fruit; evidently enjoyim their moist, sheltered situation, and en dcavorina by every means in their power to enow their appreciation ol theirposition ; yet they were nearly all diseased: the fruit, although in gn at quantities, small, gnarled, and insect-eaten, and certainly gave every indication that in two or three years more they would die out. And why Bhoukl they not ? The ground was overarown with couch-irrass and all sorts of thieving weeds of the worst character, some of them higher than the trees, w hich were certainly experiencing the most ungrateful neglect from their owner; who, when they at last Buccumb, will, no doubt, come down to the Farmers Club, or the L- nut Growers' Association at Whit lock's and give a jeremiad on the deterioration and decay of fruits at the present day; instilling the memory oft he poor tries whom lie so grossly injured and neglected wdiile t hey were living. Passing through the orchards of another old farmer who Ins resided on the sann farm for the past fortv-tiirce fears, he Bhowed us one in which some of the trees must have been sixty or ecrentv years old but where he h id planted trees in the va cant spaces about forty years ago. The older trees were bearing fruit of rather poor quality, but the younger ones werentarlv all barren: what fruit did set always dropping oil' before ripening. This fact he considered as fully proving his theory that lruit was dvmg out. " J he trei didn l bear as they did when he was a boy aboul Bixty or seventy years ago. YVhv should they do soy The orchard has probably not had a coat of manure for the past fifty years, if, indeed, it has had any since it was planted: and yet tlüs farmer could grow good crops of grain or gra not begrudging, as he told us, fifty or sixty uoiiars an acre tor manure tor his gram crop; and yet he could not see that Ids crops of applc-smfj were as exhausting to his land as crops of -wheat or corn. It was noi that at ail, Did not the old trees bear, and the later planted ones did not? We could not make him understand that V makes right, even among trees: and ' (he old frees bebtg tirmly established When he made the second planting, had maintained their supremacy and overlopped, and, in a great degree, smothered the smaller ones. Ai another house, standing a little back from the roadside, with an acre or two of land about it, we were astonished to find some very large peach-trees loaded with fruit of very fine quality. It was the residvnee of a dominie of horticultural tastes, as the well-kept vegetal tie garden and well-cared for fruit-trees showed. Now, there is not a fanner among the dominie's congregation but is mystified about these peach-tree Peaches don't now now as they used to when they were hoys; they can't grow any, they donl hear, and they will have the yellows and dir." Why the aforesaid peach-trees should hear fruit plenteously and keep gcaea, and not die oil ;it once, iiKtonishes them. But the secret li s only in thorough and nsMnotii culture. ll nth und li-m-'.
