A Battle In the Air.

(Nothing could be more touching than the pertinacity with which Mr. Alexander H. Stephens insists that the war was unconstitutional, and that a true regard for the fundamental law would have resigned the United States to total destruction. lie continually argues at great length that the Constitution is merely a treaty between sovereign powers fr6m which each may withdraw at pleasure; and in utter contravention Bfahe peace and dignity o( Mr. George Tkwnor Curtis, the historian of the Constitution, the biographer of Webster, and a gentleman who believes to a degree that ought to console Mr. Stephens that the country has already arrived at the demnition bow-wows—in utter disregard, we say, of the peace and dignity aforesaid, Mr. Stephens stoutly asserts that Mr. Webster himself changed his views somewhat idler his famous speech in reply to Hsyne. Mr. Stephens quotes from a subsequent argument of Mr. Webster in the Supreme Court, in which he said: “I am not prepared to say that the States have no national sovereignty.” And he declares that Mr. Oalhoun reduced Mr. Webster to utter silence, crushed him, pulverised him, on the 26th of February, 1833. Upon that celebrated occasion Mr. Calhoun drew an argument in favor of the State sovereignty theory from the 7th article of the Constitution itself, which speaks of the establishment of the Constitution “ between the Slates so ratifying.” This blow, Mr. Stephens tells us, was overwhelming. It left Mr. Webster, so to speak, in a hopeless limp and flabby intellectual condition, and he “ never came back at his opponent.” That word “ between,” Mr. Stephens again informs us, is an argument in favor of the treaty view of Uie Constitution that never has been and never can be answered.

Mr. Curtis replies by hurling Mr. Madison at Mr. Calhoun, and demanding, through bis clenched teeth, as it were, whether Mr. Madison was not as good a Democrat, and might not be presumed to understand tbe Constitution quite as well as Mr. Calhoun. He shows Mr. Madison’s view of the subject to be identical with Mr. Webster’s, and he follows up Mr. Stephens’ airy speculations about “ delegated” or “alienated" sovereignty with the unction of a £erapliic Doctor pushing an Angelic Doctor upon the most recondite theological abstraction. Then he descends upon the cx-Confederate VicePresident, and asks by what right, upon his theory of the Constitution, he complains of the military despotism, the satrapic system, and the “ ruin at last,” which Mr. Webster predicted, which now weighs upon the country. Does it never occur to such disputants that the point upon which they differ was purpoeely left obscure in the Constitution, as the great, unexpressed compromise, that Mr. Webster and Mr. Calhoun, reasoning from the letter of the instrument merely, were both correct, because while the Constitution declares that “ we, the people ” ordain it, it also makes it subject to ratification “between the States,” and that such a radical difficulty could at last be settled in one way only, and that it has been settled? The people of the United States have declared with tho most appalling emphasis that they aSr and will remain one nation. The only final interpreters of the Constitution have inter - sreted.it. “ You are all wrong,” murmurs Ir. Stephens. “ Constitutionally you ought at this very moment to be a moist, . unpleasant body.” It is the most affect : ing illustration upon record of “ Scissors, if I die for it Harper't Weekly.

Democratic Management.

Reform is a favorite catch-word with democratic politicians. Always l>efore an election we have it harped upon, and all j.he changes rung upon it by their editors and stumpers, great and small. The public money is being squandered, and they are just the men to stop the leaks; extravagance runs riot in all departments of the 'government, and they alone are capabl of substituting a perfect system of econnmy; the taxes are not being collected, rascally “ rings ” control government officials, and they alone are possessed of such immaculate purity that no “ ring ’’would have the effrontery to come into their presence with even the thought of a corrupt proposition This is their plan when they are out of office and want to get in. Put them in and the whole thing is changed at once. They have nothing more to say about economy or reform in the adtainistration of the government Not a word about the reduction of expenses, or the faithful collection of the taxes,' or the corruption of government officials. But invariably under their rule the expenses of the government, whether -State or National are fiucreased. Apd who ever knew a democratic administration to reduce a public debt*— Toledo Blade.

Abolition of Slavery in Cuba.

The recent assertion o’ Jenator Sumner that the Cuban insura nts were not distinctly and unequivocal iy committed to maintain the freedom of the colored people of the Island, in case their cause should be victorious, has called forth considerable inquiry as to the lkcts in the case. The friends of tht Cuban cause insist that the learned Senator has done the revolutionists great Justice. .It is claimed that when C*r!oi JJanuel tie Cespedes pronounced

against Spanish authority, one-half of the mile army of five hundred men, which gathered around him, weft his own slaves, whom he l«d freed on the 9th day <>f October, 1868, At the eiine time declaring all slaves on the island flee. He had been the slaves’ representative in the courts of the Eastern Department a number ol years and was looked nj>on by them as their champion. Tbe first act of the war was the proclamation of freedom, the purpose being to make aoMicra of slaves, as well as to abolish slavery. The first legislative body that met passed the following decree, which In substance is couched in the twenty-fourth article of the Cuban Constitution, passed on the 19th of April: The Institution of slavery, which waa brotighUo (heir I*lukl by Spanish dominion, should be-abol-ished with them Tbe Assembly of fie present*!

VI. A special regulation will he made to arrange the details of this decree.

Commissioner Delano on the Debt.

We suspect the grief of tbe Chicago Timet, at the absence of Commissioner Delano from the Revenue Department, js not so much on acoount of the loss of his services at Washington as from dislike of tiie facts he is spreading before the people ih Pennsylvania. If it weie true, as the Timet asserts, that he “ comes before them to proclaim two audacious falsehoods, knowing them to he so,” his character would l>e such that the less he was present at the Rcvenne Department the better. And yet, while branding Mr. Delano thus as a willful liar, our neighbor declares that the duties of the Revenue Department “ cannot he properly performed hut by his daily and constant supervision,” and says ‘‘liis reputation as an honest man will give to his statements on financial questions an authority which will impress the people.” The two “ audacious perpetrated by this honest liar, to whose “ daily and constant supervision “ wo owe, in the estimation of his enemies, the collection of the revenue, arc, ft rut, that the debt iq decreasing, and, secondly, that this decrease is being accomplished through the fidelity of Grant’s administration. As these assertions are a thorn in the Copperhead flesh, it is well, doubtless, to brand them as ‘‘audacious falsehoods.” Blit there our neighbor should leavo' it. It should not ; after charging an “ honest liar ” with uttering the audacious falsehood that the debt is being reduced, proceed to argue that “ the public debt hat been reduced, under Secretary Boutwell’s management of the Treasury, becauu the receipt» from customs and internal revenue have largely increased.” Such a mode of sustaining his charge against Mr. Delano lays the writer open to the suspicion of having written the article in a condition of physical helplessness and moral irresponsibility. The fuddled Bohemian then supports lire denial that any credit is due to Grant, Boutwell, Delano, or any other part of the Radical administration, for the collection of more customs and revenue, by averring that the increase of reveuue is wholly due to the reduction of the taxes effected by tbe late “ imbecile and infamously corrupt Congress.” This staggers us! AVe can understand how the duty and mission of a Democratic journalist may require him to deny that any credit is due to a Republican tor anything. But we fail to sec the “great Democratic.' gain” by taking the credit ,of collecting the revenue from a Republican administration in order to give it to a Republican Congress. Mr Delano avers that during the hsctil year ending June 30, 1868, while 100,000,000 gallons of whisky were made and consumed, only 0,709,540 gallons paid tax. But, during the last fiscal year, including four months of Grant, there have been 62,009,331 gallons returned subject to duty. He shows that, comparing the last six months of the year ending June 30,1868, with the like six months of 1869, of which four months are Grant’s, we find an increased revenue from spirits, tobacco, sales, banks, stamps, incomes, and one or two other small sources of $22,541,000, while there is a falling off in no item of importance, except one of $242,000 in thp salaries paid for collecting them, owing to discharge of superfluous officers. He shows that m the quarter, July, August and September, 1868, we collected less than thirty-nine millions of internal revenue, while in the same months of 1860 wc collect forty-nine millions—an increase of thirty per cent. He declares that, apart from any gains on the customs revenue wc will collect in internal revenue $25,000,000 more than last year, while our expenses will be $25,000,000 less—making a total gain from these two sources of $50,0j0,000 a year. As, during the last year of Johnson, we paid off $50,000,000 of the debt, during every year of Grant we will pay off, without increasing a single tax, one hundred millions. Within the eight years during which President Grant may, perhaps, continue in office, the funded debt will be reduced, probably, to $1,200,000,000. To all these revelations our irate and apparently intoxicated neighbor replies that the ,credit is due to “ a Congress so imbecile and infamously corrupt that it is spoken of with contempt by the press of its party.” The readers of the Times will, doubtless, agree with us that its editor,- in compounding this theory, must have got entangled in the elbows of a financial Minico. The next time he essays to criticise the Government upon its success in collecting the whisky tax, it would, at least, promote the coherency, if not the truth, of his assertions, to improve the quality of tfie whisky wliich inspires his own essay.— Chicago Tribune.

Democratic Falsehoods.

The Ohio StateenXdn persists in its misrepresentation of a recent decision of the Assistant Commissioner of Internal Bevcnue to the effect that all peddlers who with teams go through the country buying and selling preduce, shall pay a speciiu tax as other peddlers do. The following is its language in reiteration of a misrepresentation already denied and exposedr “ This country, under Radical rate, is coming to a pretty pass, when the fanner who brings the product or his farm to market —or his good wire, “ who cornea to market her eggs to sell," must ilrst get a permit from the l ulled State* Revenue Office, and pay a license therefor, while millions upon millions or bonds, belonging to the rich, aud to the rich alone, pay no taxes “ Look to it, farmers, who bring a few bnshelsof potatoes, or a few pound* of butter to market, that there is not a Government spy lurking around to pounce upon yon, and get the price dr his scouaarelism either in " hush money, or oat of the fine which is inflicted npon yon," for not taking out license from General Uiytui’a officials, to sell the products you* own, labor has prodfiieif. ” No person is charged a special tax for selling in anv manner the products of his own farm. Nor is any one who, traveling on foot, buys and sells produce, charged a special tax for so doing. A buyer and seller of produce, however, with a team, going through the country, is liable to a special tax as any <*her peddler would be. The attempt to make political capital, by misrepresenting this decision, is entirely unwarranted, and can avail nothing except among the most prejudiced and ignorant of tbeweaders of that paper. We venture to say that all the oppression! suffered by tiie market

men or women selling butter and eggs, the products of their own farms, will never cxdtc a reaction strong enough to overturn an adminstration. When somebody is hurt, it will he time enough to complain. Toledo Blade.

AY t ii.d Oats.—A crop that is generally sown between eighteen and twenty-five. Tiie harvest sets in about ten years after, and is commonly found to consist of la broken constitution, two weak legs, a bad cough, and a large trunk filled with vials and patent medicines. AVe can hardly say that the yield pays for the time and labor expended in the cultivation. Tiie Cleveland Herald says: “We saw in a street car in this city, a few days since, an expensively-dressed woman not only tell a stranger to give up his seat, but, upon his doing so, tender him five cents and loudly insist on his taking it. She said * she was rich enough to pay for everything she had, and didn’t ask no favors from nobody without paying for it.’ ” A yocno lawyer was examining a bankrupt as to how lie had spent his money. There were about two thousand dollars unaccounted for, when the attorney put on a severe scrutinizing face, and exclaimed with njuch self-complacency, “ Now, Sir, I want you to tell this court and jury how you used those two thousand dollars.” The bankrupt put on a serio-comic face, winked at the audience,- and exclaimed: “ The lawyers got that!’’ The judge and the audience were convulsed with laughter, and the counselor was glad to let the bankrupt go.

USEFUL RECITES, ETC. t The WctUrn Rural says if fruit treefi! ase not planted in October or November, they should be left until spring.

Putnam t lleeipe Book. , Help-sealing Fruit Cans.—After sellscaling fruit cans, jars or bottles have been filled and the lids adjusted, tiie latter should not bo disturbed until tiie fruit is wanted for use. Opening tiie lids, of course lets in the air, and the spoiling of the fruit is a natural and generally certain result *1 ,Old raspberry cane should be cut away as they have done hearing, and young ones pinched track to form three or four feet in height, according to circumstances. From four to six inches should be taken front the top of tiie canes. Tills will cause the young cancs to grow strong and busliy. A British nomologist (Dr. Bindley) writes thus : “ Tiie loading down branches of trees by an overcrop of fruit is most injurious; lor the pores of the woody stalk arc strained on one side of tiie bend and compressed on the other, hence the vessels through which the requisite nourishment Hows being partially closed, the growth of the fruit iB retarded in proportion itoj the straining and compression of the stalk.” A correspondent of tiie Country Gentleman gives her method of hulling corn, as follows: She puts the corn in an iron kettle, covers it with lye, and boils it moderately until the hulls start pretty freely by rubbing with the hands. She then skims the corn into a pail of cold water and continues rubbing it and pouring oil the water until about clean. The corn is then again boiled, the water being changed two or three times so as to remove all taste of the lye.

To Keep Potatoes for Seed.— AVhen first dug, let them dry off well by lying several (lays spread out thin on the barn floor ; if they are greened by the sun it is a double advantage, for no careless cook will take of them twice for boiling. Then place them in a cool, dry part of the cellar, on a floor of boards, and not more than two feet deep. Never keep them in barrels. _ Examine them during the winter, and if they show a tendency to grow, rub tiie eyes ofl and spread them out thinner.— Am. Agriaulturut. How to Have Early Grass in the Spring. —ln order to have early grass, either for grazing purposes or mowing, the land must be made rich by the application of manure, and by relieving it of all excess of moisture. In our latitude, during the month of September, if not already seeded, the soil should be thoroughly pulverized, manured, smootiied off, and seeded. If the grass and clover-seed were sowed last spring, all the better, as equal parts of grass and clover will make more desirable feed than either clover or grass alone. Allow the young plants to grow until cold weather, without permit ting even light animals to graze in the field. Then, before snow falls, apply a liberal dressing of barn-yard scrapings, or finely-rotted compost, spread evenly over the surface. Rich land, if seeded in the spring of the year with early red clover (Trifolium pretence) and orchard grass (Dactylis glomerata), will produce a crop sufficiently large to be mowed by the first of June, provided the growth of the a plants has not been seriously reby the hoofs and teeth of domestic animals. AVhere muck constitutes a large proportion of the soil, a dressing of argillaceous clay after the grass has ceased to grow will subserve the purpose of manure to a great extent. —Heanh and Home.

Hog Pens.

Every farmer knows how offensive a common sized hog-pen or yard becomes during the hot weather of summer, and how during a rainy time it becomes in fact a swamp of mud. To remedy this, those who have abundance, fill up with straw or other litter, ashes, <fcc., and yet the remedy is only partial; the smell is not disposed of, and the animals are full half the time wading in mire. The following manner of building’a pen we have known to remedy the evil 'completely : Take two pieces of six by eight timber each fourteen feet long; dress one end of each in form of a sled runner, then lay them parallel eight feet apart, with the six inch edge on the ground; now take four by four scantling and halve or tenant in crosswise one piece at each end, and one foot from the ends of the runners, leaving the four inch strips one and one-half inches below the level line of the upper side of the runners; next lay a floor of one and one-half inch plank oyer one-half tiie surface, say eight by six feet. Next mortice in four by four scantling at each corner and midways for posts on which to nail boards for the enclosing. Let these four by four posts be flush with the outside line of the runners; then nail incli boards on the inside, dividing the whole with a cross-fence or partition on a’ line of the floor. Roof over the floored part, from the trough across one end or side of the floored part, and with a side door shut your hogs in or out of that part—and your pen is completed. Now you ask where is the benefit of this pen over any common one with posts set in the ground? AVe answer, you can hitch a team to it and remove it to any part of your grounds, placing it from time to time where most convenient to feed, etc., besides enriching various spots of ground and having a dry piece and fresh ground to work in. —Ohio Farmer.

Stopping Leaks Around Chimneys.

It is almost impossible to fit shingles so closely to the sides of a chimney as to convey all the water that flows down the side of a tall one beyond the lower edge, as shingles will continue to shrink and Bwell as the weather changes. During a driving storm, water often pours down the side of a high chimney-top, so that several quarts are often lodged on the wall over them. And many times during a protracted storm after every brick has absorbed as much water as it can contain, the rain that falls on the inside of the chimney will soak-through the bricks at the bottoiri, and damage and disfigure a nice wall. To prevent water soaking down through the botton when rain falls on the inside, let a bushel or so of clean sand be turned into the top. Sand will absorb water quickly, retain a large quantity, and allow it to pass off by evaporation much sooner than loam, mould, or clay. To carry the rain beyond the junction of the roof and chimney on the outside, cut out the mortar between two courses of bricks to the depth of an inch, insert a piece ,of tin or sheet-iron three inches wide, so as to make a shelving around the chimney two or more inches wide, and point the joint with good cement mortar. Then let the corners where the roof and chimney meet he covered with a daubing made of equal quantities of pitch and linserd-oil,or coal-tar and plastic slate flour, or a heavy coat of old paii t and paint-skins, made thick with platter o< Paris or gypsum. The tin shelving will carry off so much of t he ruin that the bricks beneath will absorb nearly all that would find its way below the roof. —lbarlh and Home.
