We cannot undertake to return or reserve commu« nications that are not used. An Absurd Accusation. The Democrats are greatly enraged that the Electoral Commission has decided the cases ofFiorida, Louisiana and Oregon according to the law, the constitution and the precedents, precedents established by the Democrats themselves. As the decision cannot be im peached as unsound in law an assault is made upon the Republican members of the Com mission, and they are, with gross injustice, accused ot bad faith. Democratic journals assert that those Republicans who supported the bill gave its Democratic advocates dis tinctly to understand that the Commission would have and would exercise the power to go behind the returns and investigate the elections in the contested states. This asser tion is totally false. The Commission cer tainly has no powers that Congress has not, and the right of Congress to go behind the returns was the very question in dispute. The Republican speakers took particular care to make no statement that could be construed into an admission of the right claimed by the Democrats, and it was the general under standing that the question would be the first one considered by the Commission. Had there been no such nnestinn there would have been need of no Commission. The es tablishment of the tribunal was an explicit recognition that the two houses could not come to an agreement respecting the powers of Congress in regard to the electoral vote and so referred the mooted point to a select bod; which should fully consider and pass upon it. The accusation of bad faith brought against the Republicans has no reason. In the debate on the bill Senator Edmunds said: “It has been said the tribunal might go be hind the returns of a state. It the two houses of Congress had the power to do that, then this tribunal has the power; otherwise not.” That is clear enough. Senator Conk ling was equally explicit. In the course of his speech he said: “I have heard -it sug gested that something in this bill implies that going behind the faculties of the states, going behind the lawful exercise of that power which the constitution re poses In the States and wherewith the Con stitution crowns them, this Commission may enquire at large, by canvassing the votes cast in parishes or even precincts, by going into the question whether those who voted were all that should have voted, whether they voted as they wished to vote—in short, that the Commission may become a national ‘re turning board.’ The law has this ancient maxim—‘that is certain which can bo ren dered certain.’ We say in this bill, 'take the Constitution as it stands; that is your guide; there you will find the boundaries of your powers; you shall not over pass them; exe cute the Constitution and stop.’ Further on in his speech Mr. Conkling said: “I had supposed that the Constitution had raised not only a hedge and fence, but a wall of limit to the powers it comers." Ana again: ‘‘Inasmuch as the Constitution, the law, and the acts of Congress of which I think there are but two, prescribe the power, inasmuch as we make the existing law the guide-board, inasmuch as we command and coDjure the commission to go according to the Constitu tion and to keep within its limits, I supposed it could not be a roving commission to trav erse at large the realms of fact, superstition and fiction.” Surely that is distinct enough. Still again, Senator Conkling said: “The Commission is to say on the oaths of its members and subject to our review what by the Constitution is committed to it.” These statements certainly are too explicit to admit of any misconstruction. And there was none. The Democrats did not then ciaiui that the bill committed the Commission to the doctrine that it had a right to go behind the returns. Senetor Thurmau dis tinctly stated to the Senate, when debating the bill establishing the commission, there were two parties—one believing that “it is competent to go behind tbe decision of a Can vassing or Eeturning Board, and in opposi tion, that it is not competent to do so. Are you going to decide that question in a bill? Why, sir, upon that question, and upon other questions, we are obliged to submit in the first instance to the tribunal to decide.’’ When Mr. Dawes objected to the bill because it did not prohibit the commission from turning itself into a returning board and tak ing upon itself the function with which the state of Massachusetts had clothed its gover nor and council, of determining who had been chosen electors by that state, Mr. Thur man said that if the committee had attempted to decide the question in the bill it would have been “the most idle work that ever sane men attempted.” The bill, he continued, could not have been framed to give tbe least advantage to either party, by settling in one way or the other any of the conflicting theo ries, without being rejected by the other party. Mr. Lamar, in the House, said: “As I understand the measure it rests ou these propositions—First, That the president of the Senate has not the right to decide what votes tWouut and what to reject; secoud, that both the Senate and the House have tbe right to decide and direct what is an honest count of legal votes; third, that as neither can surrender the right to the other, and that (a^) there are diflerences of opinion as to the extent of this power, whether it is limited to the ascertainment of the authentic ity of the certified returns, Or extends to the right of going behind them, it provides for a tribunal to decide these questions in cases ol conflicting returns, and to determino which return is tne true amt which ot tne contro verted votes are the proper ones to ba count ed.” From these authoritative statements of the framera and supporters of the bill it will be seen that the charge of bad faith is absurd. To have admitted the right of the commis sion to go behind t’re returns would have been a surrender of the very question in dis pute, and no friend of the bill considered it a surrender by either party. The accusation which the Democrats now bring in their rage is one of which they will be heartily ashamed when they have recovered from their disappointment. A project (or constructing a railroad tun nel under the river at Detroit is under con sideration. There has been so much inter ruption to ttavel and trade this winter by ice that the necessity is felt for immediate ac tion. The various railroads and the city will co-operate in the execution of the work. The original plan submitted by Cheshrough, City Engineer of Chicago, provides for two tunnels seventy feet apart, each one to be thirteen and a halt leet in diameter, or of just suffi cient calibre to allow a train of cars to pass through. The tunnels were to be nearly two miles in length, and ninety feet below the sutface of the river, the depth of water in the middle of the stream being about fifty feet. Mr. Cheshrough estimate d that the improve ment would cost in the neighborhood of $3,000,000. The early completion of this undertaking will greatly facilitate at all sea sous the passage of freight at this important railroad centre. According to the London Times, it has been decided by the agents of the English and German steamship companies doing bus iness in New York to bring actions by each of them against the present Board of Com missioners of Immigration at that port, to compel them to return the money paid by the different companies on account of head tax from the time such company started. This is the result of a recent decision of the Supreme Court of the United States, that the collection of such head-money by any state is unconstitutional. If these actions should be successful, the amount of money that will be recovered by various steamship companies will amount to a very large sum, especially to the Cunard, Inman and other lines, which have been paying from the com mencement of the Castle Garden establish ment, fifteen years ago, about 7s. 6d. per head for each passenger landed at New York. Those Democratic Congressmen who voted in favor of the Electoral Commission, and who are now engaged in the high-toned and exhilarating pastime of fillibustering against the operation of the statute, must not be angry if the country accepts them at their own valuation and estimates them a3 what they plainly show themselves to be. They confess that they thought the law a wise and good one, the tribunal a fair and honest one, and the remedy the only one which presented itself; but when lhe law and the tribunal and the remedy turn out to be just what they were intended to be, the Democratic statesmen tegin to dodge and skulk and crawl behind small subterfuges. That nothing might be wanting to com plete the ridiculous programme of Tilden’s paid attorneys. David Dudley Field has pre pared a bill providing for a new Presidential election. Any thief, who has had his plun der wrested from his grasp, would ask noth ing better than to have another chance to get off with it. Tbc Stale of ibc Ogilensburg. To the Editor of the Frees I deem the proposition to sell the city’s in terest in the Portland Ogdensburg R. R. most unwise at the present time for many rea sons which might be add need. The most prom inent of these are: First, the uufortunate condition of the coun try financially, depressing railtoad stock son ev ery road in the country far below their intrinsic value. What road iu New England would at this moment sell for more than half i*s value excepting the Boston Providence, Bostou Albany, Hartford New Haven? For out side of these roads not one in New England is earning legitimately six per cent dividends. But who will dare assume that many of these roads are not good six per cent, investments when the business of the couutry improves to an average or moderate extent. I mav own real estate in this city, which cost me §10,000> and for which a purchaser could not be had to day at more than §5,000. Yet it does not fol low, from this, that any investment will not eventually prove good when business improves. Let us, for example, look at the Illinois Central with ail its magnificent land grants, immense business, good management, whose stock is worth to-day but §52 per share par value §100. This road has always paid 8 to 10 per cent, divideuds, and would holders of this stock be wise to sell it now? The second reason against selling the city's interest now, is it would not biiog anything. As proof of this, note wbat Mr. Stanton ciders, §250,000, which wonld be considered an insult under ordinary circumstances. Third. The sale would afford do relief at any price that could be realized now. Fourth. Give the road a fair trial. Busi ness will improve and with it the business of the road must vastly increase. Last year was very unfortunate for this road iu having the CeDtennial Exhibition draw misy tourists away from tbe Mountains, who will undoubtedly pass over the road the coming season. Noth ing more beautiful or romantic can be found in tbis country than the ride through the Notch. Fifth. No capitalists having made an in vestment in stocks, bonds, mortgages or real estate would make sale of them when the mar ket is at tbe very lowest ebb, when tbe finan. ces and business of the countrv are in such a state, when values are depressed far below their average in ordinary times, and wheu any change that came would be au improvement. Sixth. The road can never bs worth less, and the stock may be of much greater value. Seveoth. By making sale this road may be operated against the interests of this city and greatly so, Mr. Stanton to the contrary notwith standing. True Mr. Stanton says he will not do so, but who believes he will not be gov erned by his own interests in th« matter? Let Boston capitalists offer him $500,000 for his pmchase. and how long would he thick of Portland’s interests? Mr. Stantoo expresses much sympathy for the employes of tbe road, but should Portland sacrifice her large interest in this road to enab'e this gentleman to par them? Oa the completion of the Atlantic St. Lawrence road would Portland have sold out tbe control of this road to Boston? By no means The business of the road was nothing —stock worthless, but there was no complaint, it was one grand enterprise consummated by tbe indomitable will and energy of Portland against tbe financial world. Portland people would have sunk bonds, stocks and all pertaining to tbe road before they would bare sold out a con trolling interest in the same. But 1 will go oo farther but close with say ing that 1 voted against city aid for the road and did all possible in opposition to tba same uutil tbe last time. 1 have paid ibe road $5000 to $8000 freight money. Have never bad a pass over it and none of its directors or i Ulcers are my intimate friends. I voted against city aid believing that no city should embarrass its finances and tax its inhabitants for anything but for muDicipal purposes. If city aid were granted to corporations individuals might ask for tbn same to promote private interests But 1 would suggest that the city make no sale at present, that the affairs of tbe road be conduct ed with the utmost economy, that tbe salaries of tbe officials be rednced to the very lowest point possible, and further that the system of deadheading be completely discarded. 1 do not believe in tbe wrong doing as charged against tbe directors, aud think they have done well with tbe heavy load the\ bad to carry. They have oiten had to make bucks financially without straw. The coaetroctiou and completion of this road during tbe panic and the following years sp-aks well 'or tbe en terprise aud energy ot Portladfi. Before the commencement of the road when it and tbe Rutland were contemplated I, was iu New York, and iu conversation with some gentlemen who alluded to these roads tbe ques tion was asked me whether the Portland Ogdeusburg would be built; also in regard to the Rutland. 1 immediately replied, “most certainly; if our people undertake they will build both toads,” and in cootirmaliou of this gave some history of the Atlantic St. Law rence. Let the neonle of Portland be patient ami wait far the problem to be salved in regard to this road aud Dot have the time come when the meu who urged its sale will be cursed for their impetuous haste. The money is not lost by the construction of this road, the country is en riched ior more than the loss of every dollar of the city's investment, giviug it more wealth aud better ability to trade with this city; and further I am assured by merchants here that trade is daily fiowrng over the Portland Ogdensbutg to this city that never would have been diverted here but for the construction of this road. Ths investment is an unfortunate one for the city at the moment; but let us be wise aud not throw it entirely away. H. Portland, Peb. 24, 1877. [Springfield Republican.] The Dead Admirals. The death of six admirals of the United States navy since the opening of 1877 is quite remarkable, although these warriors of the sea go down in such fullness of honors and of years as to make the coincidence happy rather than ominous. Their average age was seventy two, and their careers exemplify all the glories of the navy and none of its disgraces. All of these men were active during our last war, when they were already old men. While the fighting and the honors on the land fell into the hands of youog men, on the sea the old salts wore the main reliance and stood up to the work well. Parragut was sixty-thrte when he huug iu the rigging of the Hartford daring the battle of Mobile bay. Alden was a native of Portland, a comrade of Wilkes in the South sea, and cocstantly in active service during the rebellion, being the youngest of the six, only sixty-aevsn. Bailey was born at Plattsburg, and was a boy of elev en years when Commodore Macdouough won his spunky fight with the British cruisers on Lake Champlain in 1814. He captured 150 blockade-ruuuers, it is said, during the last war. Davis was of Boston, a writer of naval mathe matics, and the captor of Memphis in 1862. Louis Goldsborougb, (his middle name, Male

sberbes, smacks of events contemporary with his birth) was in the service probably the long est of any, entering as a middy in 1812, when only seven years of age, perhaps by favor of his father, whe was governor of Maryland. He was in fight with Greek pirates fifty years ago, and was with Burnside at Boanoake. He mar ried a daughter of Wirt, and one of the asides of his life was an attempt to colonize Florida with German emigrants. Smith was Kentncky born, and was at the harrier forts in China in 1858, and on the Congress when she was sunk by the Merrimac in Hampton Itoads. Ho was McClellan's coadjutor in the melancholy penin sula of Yorktowu—who torgets it? Wilkes was, in some respects, the most celebrat, ed of them all. He was horn in New York aud was a nephew of John Wilkes, the English radical of the last century. He had a name before the war of tbo rebellion broke out, his antarctic explorations in 1830-42 and his contributions to literature having given him a world-wide fame. His taking of Mason and Slidell from the British mail-steamer Trent ill 1881 was a splendid feat, which won the applause of the country, and, necessarily, the formal disavowal of the eovernment. It broke the force of Mason and Slidell’s mission, how ever, for England could not participate in an intrigue against us in view of onr honorable conduct in that case. The most egregious fame to which seamen reach is narrow compared with that enjoyed under similar achievements on the land. Their lives, when not on this element, are usually lives of privacy and retirement, and au admiral a hundred miles from the coast is as rare as a three-decker in the same locality. They seem to graduate from the ccean directly iQto that other life, When the fiery fight is heard no more And the storm has ceased to blow. 81 TELEGRAM. MAINE 4 ■toiler Explosion.

MARINE NEWS. Shipwrecks and Loss ol I Me. New Yoke, Feb. 25.—The schooner Joseph Hedden, c'l-.pt Mackey, of Stepney, Maine, [there iB no suib town in Maine] from Bonaire for Philadelphia, via London, with a crew of seven seamen, experienced the height of the gale yesterday morning, and to make Plum Gut Island, ran into the inlet, where she soon struck a rock on the shoal. A high sea was running, which broke continually over her for ward and midships as she lay with her head to the sea, with the poop deck completely dry. A signal of distress was heard by the crew of the schooner Walter Freeman of Bridgelield, Ct., Capt. Harry Somers, bound for Port Jefferson with a cargo of oil and a crew of nine with the mate. The Freeman had also been overtaken by the storm, and the crew were strenuously working to save their own vessel. Nearing the spot where the ill fated vessel had struck it was seen that the Hedden was sinking, and the crew in their desperation hung to the bulwarks. By means of a small line fastened to a tin box or large oil can, which was thrown overboard from the Freeman and drifted to tbe Hedden, communication was obtained with that vessel and a hauling line was thrown ont, to which a hawser was attached—one end to the masthead and the other to the anchor placed on the Freeman. The boatswain chair was then rough ly constructed and an attempt at rescue was made, but owing to tbe violence of tbe storm and tossing of the fast sinking vessel, tbe mate and three of the crew were washed overboard and carried out to sea. All attempts to save the Hedden were futile, and she sunk with her cargo. The captain and the two seamen res cued were unconscious and powerful stimulants were resorted to in resuscitating them. The Freeman in her tnrn became also disa bled, and was taken by the force of the storm to the extreme end of the island, where she be came a total wreck. She had hardly struck the shore, however, when the disaster was observ ed by the crew of life saving station No. 11, when boats sped to the assistance of the vic tims of the wreck. Before they arrived three of the crew of the Freeman were washed over board, and though strenuous efforts were made to thfim. t.hflv wpra ilrnwnflrt ami t.liAir bodies were washed out to sea. Tbe remainder of the crew, including the captain and tiro res cued seamen of the Hedden, were safely con veyed to the shore. Both vessels and cargoes are complete wreoks. The schooner Benjamin Willis, from Baby lon for Philadelphia, capsized in Jones’ Inlet, and three of the crew, including the captain, were drowned. Great damage is done at all ports on Long Island. WASHINGTON. Ineligible Elector. Washington, Feb. 24.—Hon Daniel J. Mor rill ot Pennsylvania testified before tbe com mittee on the powers of the House, to-day, that he was appointed U. S. Centennial Com missioner by the President under the act of March 3d, 1871, and still holds that office, which is one of honor and trust but not of profit He said he did not attend the meeting of the electoral college because he had been in formed of his ineligibility, and Henry A. Boggs was appointed by the college to fill the vacancy. Sudden Illness of Senator Hamlin. While sitting in the cloak room of the Senate smoking to-day, Senator Hamlin was taken with what appeared to be a fainting fit and had it not been for Senator McMillan, who sat by him, would have fallen into the tire. He soon recovered, but his friends thought it best that he.be taken home. After arriving there he soon recovered and this evening is in his usual good health. Various. About 11 o’clock a rumor gained circulation that an attempt would be made, when tbe Sen ate passed in procession through the rotu nda on its way to tbe House, to seize the two ma hogany boxes containing the electoral returns carried by Captain Bassett, assistant doorkeep er of the Senate, in order to prevent any furth er count. But little credence was attached to the report, but Capt Blackford, chief of tbe capitol police, placed an additional number of policemen in the rotunda during tbe passage both ways of the Senatorial procession. No attempt was made, however,and probably none was intended. To-day Judge Cartter, on the petition of Charles L. Steever and others by Mr. Fullerton, directed a rule to issue on the Secretary of the Navy, retnrnable Saturday next, to show cause why a mandamus should not be issued to com pel him to pay them certain prize money. They state that under Lieut. Wm. B. Cushing on the 27th of October 1864, they captured the rebel ram Albemarle; that under a decree of the court Aug. 21,1865 and Feb. 11, 1873, the peti tioners were entitled to share in the prize mon ey ($273,135) their share being $34,886, and state that the amount wa3 not fairly propor tioned, and $23,1)25 has been paid; "that this wrong was brought to the notice of the Secre tary soon after this discovery, May 5, 1875.

Washington, Feb. 24.—At ten minutes af ter 10 o'clock this morniDg, the Senate sent a message to the House, informing that body that the Senate was ready to proceed with the count of the electoral vote. The Speaker presented a communication from i Justice Clifford informing the House that the Electoral Commission had considered and decided the question submitted to it in re gard to the votes of the state of Oregon, and had transmitted its decision to the President of the Senate. Mr. McMahon offered a resolution directing the c'erk of the House to notify the Senate that the House would be ready at 1 o’clock today to receive that body for the purpose of continuing thefelectoral count. Mr. Wilson of Iowa raised the point of or der that nothing was in order but a resolution to notify the Senate that the House is now ready to receive that body. He therefore offer ed that resolution, calling attention also.to the fact that the very moment the Commission re ported that it had come to a decision the hall of the House|was as much at the disposal of the Senate as of the House. The Speaker ruled that Mr. McMahon’s reso lution was in order, but Mr. Wilson’s resolu tion could he offered as a substitute, and it was so offered aud agreed to. Yeas 145, nays 87. The qncstion was then on the resolution as amended. Mr. Vance endeavored to move for a recess until Monday, but was not recognized, and the resolntioD, as amended, was agreed to. Yeas 157, nays 89. Mr. McMahon moved to reconsider the vote and Mr. Hale moved to lay the motion on the table. The latter motion was agreed to—yeas 175, nays 74. opuaimr iucu uutxieu tuo utcia. tv uumj the Senate of the action of the House. At 11.50 the Senate joined the House. President Perry made the usual announce ment, and the decision of the Electoral Co in mission in the Oregon case was read by the sec retary of the Senate. The brief ground of this decision is, that it appears npon such evidence as by the constitu tion and law named in the act of Congress is competent and pertinent to the consideration of the subject, that the electors have been law fully appointed, and that they voted at the time and in the manner provided by the con stitution of the United States and the law. And they are further of the opinion that by the laws of the state of Oregon the duty of canvassing the returns of all votes given at the election of President and Vice President, was imposed upon the Secretary of State and npon no one else; that the Secretary of State did canvass these returns in the case before us and ascertained that J. C. Cartwright, W. H. Odell and J. \V. Watts had a majority of the votes given for electors, and had the highest number of votes for that office, and by the ex press language of the statutes these persons are deemed elected. In obedience to his duty the Secretary of .State made a canvass and tab ulated statement of votes, showing this result, which according to law he placed on file in his office on the 4th of December 187(1. The re fusal or failure of the Governor of Oregon to sign the certificate of election of persons so elected does not have the effect of defeating their appointment as such electors. The act of the Governor in giving to E. A. Cronin a certi ficate of his election, though he received a thousand votes less than Watts, on the ground that the latter was ineligible, was without au thority and is therefore void. Senator Kelly offered the only objection to the decision and the Senate withdrew. Upon reassembling at 12.10 the President pro tempore said the Senate having returned from the joint meeting in the House on account of an objection to the decision of the Commission in regard to the vote of Oregon, that objection wouid now be read. The Secretary then read the objection present ed in the joint meeting. Mr. Sargent then submitted the following: Kesolved, That the decision of the Commis sion in regard to the electoral vote of Oregon stand as the judgment of the Senate, the ob jection made thereto to the contrary notwith standing. In the Senate the discussion was opened by Senator Kelly of Oregon, who argued in oppo sition to the decision that Watts was ineligi ble. Mr. Merrimon could not give the sanction of his judgment to the decision of this Electoral Commission. He then quoted from the Consti tution as to the right ot states to appoint elec tors, &c and argued it was the right and duty of the state to appoint the electors, but the two Houses of Congress ought to Inquire whether V,,. ru~, not*. Isms (V,n TTni+swl Cfnfne had been complied with. Mr. Anthony referred to the Rhode Island case, alluded to by Mr. Kelly, and said the Su preme Court of this state decided as to the in eligibility of an elector who held a Federal office, but it did not decide that the person re ceiving the next highest number of votes was elected in his place. Mr. Morton said: I believe it was not argued by anybody upon the Commission that Cronin was elected, uiat Tilden had a vote in Oregon, but the minority of the Commission took the ground that there were but two electors chosen in Oregon, and that Hayes had but two votes in that state. Watts was postmaster at Lafay ette on the 7th of November. It was argued therefore that he was not elected. That the election was a failure so far as be was concern ed, and that but two were elected. On the 13th of November Watts resigned. On the 14th his resignation was accepted, and on the same day the office was transferred to another and to another building. When the electors met on the (ith of December Watts handed in his resig nation as an elector, and was afterwards chosen to fill the vacancy and cast his vole. Although Watts was not postmaster or an office holder on the lith of December, when the electors voted, it was argued that there was no such vacancy in the college of electors a3 that college bad a right to fill, and that therefore the election of the college was a nullity. On the other hand. Watts. Odell and Cartwright received majorities of the people’s vote, ranging over 1000 above their highest competitors. The Secretary of State canvassed the vote on the 4th of December, and made his certificate of the result, showing the election of Odell, Cart wright and Watts, which was filed in the office of the Secretary of State. The Secretary of State was the oanvassing or returning officer for the state of Oregon. He read from the Oregon statutes as to the duly of the Secretary of State, and resuming his remarks said the law declares that the person having the highest number of votes is elected, and it requires no declaration of any officer on that result. The duty of the Governor is im perative to sign the list which is made out by the Secretary of State, who as in the case of members of Congress, is made the canvassing and returning officer. The Governor is no part of a returning board; has nothing to do with the canvassing of the votes, but is absolutely required to sign the list made out by the Secre tary of State. It was contended by a majority of the Com mission that the law authorized the college of electors or a majority to fill a vacancy arising from any cause, from death, refusal to act, fail ure to attend, failure to elect,or from any cause that can be imagined. It was the purpose to give the college of electors the right to fill any vacancy, so that the state of Oregon should be fully represented in the electoral college. The college of electors exercised this unquestioned right. Watts, on the 0th of December was not a federal officeholder. He was as completely qualified as any citizen of Oregon. We hold, therefore, that it was whoB^ immaterial whether he was a postmaster on the 7th of No vember or not, because if he was not a federal officeholder on the 0th of December, if he was then qualified, that brought him within the meaning of the Constitution. Mr. Conkling said: Mr. President—Oregon meant to appoint the Republican Presidential electors. The people of Oregon, by a plain and undenied majority, honestly and intentionally voted for the Republican electors. Two certificates having been received from Oregon the question of the count of her votes li'H lippn flveminnrl hn thn Plnnf/iml fVmmin. sion, who have sent us two decisions :Eirst,a de cision that the vote ought to be counted as the people of the state really and honestly meant it to he counted, as they declared it should be counted. Second, a statement of reasons by w hich the decision was reached by the Commis sion. On the first matter thus reported the power to utter the voice of that state meaut that they should speak. My vote here will ex press this judgment, all beyond this I disclaim. In the brief moments allowed to this discussion au argument would not be possible. I shall therefore attempt no argument of my reasons. Indeed, could au argument be made in the ten minutes given to each Senator, I would not at tempt to make one. I will do nothing to defer for a moment the conclusion of the Presiden tial couut. Ou the contrary, I will id every lawful way hasten the proceedings to the end at the earliest hour, that the vote of the last state may be counted, namely, the decision that Oregon’s vote should be counted as designed and directed by the people of OregoD. The Senate is called ou to express its judgment. The form of this expression is proposed in the pending resolution. That resolution does not, as I undevtand it, summon any Senator to ex press his opinion of the reasons assigned for the decision submitted to us. I therefore say noth ing about the argument or reasons which ap pear in the paper read in the joint meeting to day. Every Senator is entitled to his own ar gument and his own mode of arriving at his opinion. 1 believe Oregon’s vote should speak as those who had the right, and the result de clared under the law quietly, certainly and con clusively 1 therefore surrender in the interest of expedition the remainder of my time. Mr. Saulsbury (Oem.) read au argument in regard to the decision of the Commission, and said lie count not allow this decision to pass without entering his protest Mr. Eogy followed, offering his solemn pro test against the decision of the Commission Mr. Sargent said it struck his mind as" a no table circumstance that not a member of the Senate had aiiseu to defend the scheme where by CroDin was made an elector and organized his electoral college. Therefore Congress was brought down to the single question as to whether Watts was eligible at the time he acted with the electoral college. Mr. Cronin had departed from the scene aud with him Mr. Patrick, and lie was glad that there was virtue enough to reject such bold schemes as this for imposing ou the will of the people. It was a great hardship to deprivo a state of reprcsenta ion in the electoral college and it ought never j o be done when it could heawided. The stale i >f Oregon was entitled to the same rights as 1 Jaliforuia, New York, Ohio, or auy other state ind all principles of equity were on her side. It ,vas for Congress to say if they should prevail, if this Oregon matter was removed from the lase which now shadowed the country there would be no difference of opinion about it. Mr. Whyte of Maryland discussed the duties if the commission and claimed that the coufi lence in the commission had been misplaced. Remarks were made by Mr. Mitchell of Ore gon in favor and by Messrs, Keruan, Raton, Withers and Jones of Florida in opposition to the decision of the commission. A resolution that Odell and Cartwright were the only electors duly chosen in Oregon was re jected—10 to 14. A resolution that the vote of Oregon was for Hayes and Wheeler was then carried—14 to 24 The secretary was instructed to inform the House of the vote and that the Senate was ready to meet the House to continue the count. Alter meeting with the House and returning the Senate adopted a resolution that Hogg's vote as elector in place of Morrill in the electo ral college of Pennsylvania should be counted. Recess till Monday. After the Senate had returned Mr. Clymer moved that the House take a recess till Mon day. Lost—yeas 112, naysJiriS. Mr. Lane moved a recess till 9.30. The Speaker ruled the motion out of order as a dilatory motion, and the ruling was received by applause on the Republican side and in the galleries. In the debate Mr. Hewitt of New York at raigned Mr. Hoar of Massachusetts for his bad faith in deciding in the commission contrary to his expressed views in the House and in the committee by which the electoral .bill was framed. Mr. Hoar defended himself and described Mr. Hewitt (quoting Daniel Webster on one occasion) as a man “rickety, shaky, crazy and out of joint.” A resolution declaring that Watts, one of the Oregon electors, was not entitled to cast a vote was passed by a vote of 151 to 107. The Senate was informed of this action. The Senate met again with the House at 4 o’clock. The tellers announced the vote of Oregon as three for Hayes and Wheeler. The certificate of Pennsylvania giving 28 votes to Hayes and Wheeler was read, when uujeuuuu was uucicu uu tuc niuuuu tuau Morrill, one of the electors, was a centennial commissioner. The Senate then returned to its own chamber. The House took a recess till Monday. Democratic Caucus. Field’s Quo Warranto and New Election Bills to be Reported. Washington, Feb. 24.—After the House had taken a recess antil Monday, a Democratic caucus was announced for to-night at 7.30 o’clock. At that hour about 75 members were present. Some of those who favored dilatory proceedings in the electoral count were absent, as they were dissatilled with the action of the majority of the party today in voting to con tinue the count, while those who were in favor of continuing the count did not care to meet with those of opposite views. The object of the caucus, however, had no reference to the proceedings of the House re garding the count, but with regard to the law of 1792, which provides that in case of the re moval, death, resignation or inability of both the President and Vice President of the United States, the President of the Senate, or if there is none, then the Speaker of the House for the time being, shall act as President until the disa bility is removed or a President elected. It was contended in caucus that should there be no declaration before the 4th of March of the election of President based on the electoral re turns, there will be no such vacancy as contem plated by law, and therefore provision should be made for such emergency. Mr, Field stated that he had prepared a bill to meet the contingency, whichjhe explained. After some discussion the caucus adopted a resolution instructing the committee on the powers of the House to report on Monday, or at the earliest practical moment, Mr. Field’s bill providing that in case there be no election of President and Vice President under the count of the electoral vote, the President of the Sen ate shall assume the functions of President,and a new election is to be fixed by the commit tee. The resolution further instructs the commit tee to report Mr. Field’s bill providing for quo warranto proceedings before the United States Supreme Court, with reference to a final settle ment of the Presidential question, the electoral bill containing definate provisions regarding this subject. There was also some general discussion rela tive to the disproval of points of order that may arise during the further count of the electoral vote, but no resolutions on that point were adopted and the caucus at 9.15 p. m. adjourned. GOV. HAYES. A Reception at Fremont. And a Brief Speech by the Next President. New York, Feb. 25.—A special from Colum bus. Ohio, says Gov. Hayes went to his home at Fremont today accompanied by his family, and will remain until some time next week. Preparations are being made by the citizens here, regardless of party, to give him a farewell reception prior to his departure for Washing ton. It is expected his resignation as Governor will be presented to the legislature soon after his return from Fremont. Lieut.Gov. Young will be immediately installed as his successor. Cincinnati, ;Fel>. 25.—The Gazett’s Fremont special says: "Gov. Hayes arrived here unex pectedly last evening and an impromptu recep tion was given him. He was introduced by Gen. Buckland, who said: “My friends I have the pleasure of introduc ing our President elect as we believe. Governor Hayes said:—Friends and neigh bors,—The manner in which lam introduced makes it rather easy for me to speak without much embarrassment, but we had better stick to the old title until were are sure of something new. In these times of uncertainty we are of ten disappointed. The good news of today is often dispalled by the evil news of to-morrow. During the few months since the 7th of No vember I have schooled myself so as not to be very much down or very much up, but to try and keep a9 near the even line as possible. The kindly meeting this evening I do not take so much a9 honoring me as a congratulation upon the manner in which the strange and peculiar question is now being settled. No other conotry in the world could have endured such a struggle without suffering lasting cal umny. _ HORRIBLE TRAGEDY. An Insane Mother Hills her Two Children. Island Pond, Vt,, Feb. 24 —Hiram Young of BamstoD, P. Q., having trouble with his wife left her, taking his boy, four years old. to his wife’s nucle's who keeps the Caledonia Springs Hotel in Newark, Vt,, seven miles Island Pond, where be has been at work for a week past.

In a short time Mrs. Young went out into the shed, took an axe which was used for chopping wood, split both children’s heads open and chopped them in a fearful manner. They lived about twenty minutes. Insanity is supposed to be the cause. Mrs. Young is un der arrest. DESTRUCTIVE FIRE. Fox’d Theatre iii Philadelphia Burned.— lleavf liOsaca. Philadelphia, Feb. 25.—At 12.50 a fire broke out on the stacre of Fox’s New American Theatre. Tbe fire Is still burning at 2 a. m,, at Fox’s Theatre, but owing to the confns'on no estimate of the loss can be made. The flames which at one time threatened to envelope it were stepped by thjfire proof build ing of the New York Mutual Fire Insurance Company. The following are the losses: Rogers’ wagon factory, owned by 0. J. Rogers of Morristown, N. J., building damaged $15,000,no estimate of loss can be placed upon tbe stock which how ever is insured for $05,000; loss on Fox’s Thea tre is estimated at $150,000, upon which there is an insurance of $50,000 held by one of the savings funds to secure a mortgage upon the property. It is stated that Fox also holds pol icies of $25,000. The valuable collection of books, particularly those on the south side of tne Mercantile Library, have been rendered worthless. Loss variouslv estimated from $50, 000 to $80,000, upon which is an insurance of $150,000. Other losses about $10,000. When the Kogers factory fell in Geo. F.

LOUISIANA. Packard Warned not la Attempt to Colli cl Taxes. New Orleans, Feb. 24.—The Nicbolls Leg islature today passed a resolution that the peo ple of the state will pay taxes to no other than the Nicholls government, and any attempt by others to collect the taxes will lead to blood shed if not actual war. Packard Saj» Nicholls can Collect uo Taxes. Washington, Feb. 25.—The Republican Governor Packard of Louisiana telegraphs U. Marshal Pitkin, who is now here, as follows: Nicholls’ despatch to Burke relative to tax collections in Louisiana, merits no confidence. Nicholls’ tax collectors can neither collect taxes or get official recognition as such collect ors. Assessments rolls for the collectible taxes this year are all in the hands of the holding over tax collectors appointed by Kellogg and all these officials recognize tho government of which Packard is the legally constituted head. The Nicholls men cannot obtain possession ol a single tax roll in the state. The Nicholls or gan, the New Oileaos Democrat, of the 22d lust, complains that the Packard warrants are rapidly advancing in rates. LAST WORDS. -r Ike President Preparing to Leave the White House. A Lengthy Talk with the Associat ed Press Agent, Opinions on a Variely of Topics. Washington, Feb. 25.—PieSident Graut re marked to the agent of the Associated Press to day in course of a conversation that but little remained for him to do previous to the txpira tiou of his term, on Saturday next, when be and his family should leave the Executive Mansion, and temporarily sojouru with Secretary Eish. lti April they would make a visit to their home iu the West. The time for their departure for the West Indies and Europe, which they con template, was uncertain. The President wlieu the agent entered his office, was engaged in assorting and binding such papers as he intended to retain, while frag ments of others were scattered profusely on the floor. Two ancient looking Indian medals, one of copper and the other of silver, seemed to be valued by him very highly. The silver one bore the bust of Washington iu slight relief, and on the opposite side was a representation of clasp ed hands. This medal had descended from the days of Washington to the chief who, two years ago, presented it to the President, as a mark of profound respect and in gratitude for his peace policy. The President in return, pre sented the chief with a silver medal hearing his own likness. The President remarked he had been for some days examining his private papers, but was happy to say he had just completed this work and was nuw anxiously awaiting the close of his administration, He desired to have at least one year’s rest or recreation. Iu response to a questioD as to what he would do should no de claration of a President be made, lie replied that it rested entirely with Cougress, hut he thought such a declaration would be reached, as those who yesterday sought unnecessarily to postpone the count met with a very decisive re buke in the House. It would be quite proper, however, for Congress to pass a law amendato ry of the act of 1V92, designating what person tine presiding omcer or tue nenate lor instance; shall act as President until a new election fce or dered in case there should, owing to factious opposition, be no declaration of President and Vice President, based on the electoral count The agent said, “ft has been asserted, Mr, President, that an arrangement was in progress by which, in the possible contingency above named, you would resign your office, thus per mitting the presiding offic&r of the Senate to till the vacancy thus occasioned.” The President replied, with a smile: “Sol bear; but the only knowledge I have of such an arrangement is from the newspapers.” The Agent—Something has been said about your ordering more troops to Washington. The President—Such is not my present in tention, but if they were needed 1 should order them here. I think, however, everything will be peaceful, as there are no indications of dis turbance in connection with the electoral count or declaration that may be made. Agent—It has been published that yeu have distinctly said you would not formally recognize one of the two governments in Louisiana and South Carolina. Is this true? The President—It is, as I think it would be improper for me to fix a Southern policy for my successor, and thus embarrass him. If I were to recognize .the Kepublican Governors they would have to be sustained by military force, and I think the entire people are tired of the military being employed to sustain a state government. If a Kepublican state govern ment cannot sustain itself then it will have to give way. If a remedy is required, let Con gress and not the President provide it. The Agent—Much unfriendly comment has been made on the executive order prohibiting a military demonstration in Charleston, S. C., on Washington’s birthday. If you have no objec tion, it would be interesting to learn the reason for your action in the premises. President—My proclamation heretofore issued commanding all illegal or unauthorized armed associations to disband is still in force. The men who were going to parade were nothing but armed political bands. They have never respected the proclamation and ouly seemingly disbanded. I must say that while I believe the Democratic leaders w-ould have done all that was possible to prevent an outbreak, yet, on an occasion of that kind men sometimes indulge too much in strong drink, and while uuder its influence might so express themselves against their opponents as possibly to provoke retalia tion, and thus incite a riot with serious if not fatal consequences, and which disturbance might extend to other localities. Therefore, entirely apart from the propriety of observing the day, it was thought better that the military demonstration should be prevented for reasons stated rather than to run the risk of a riot. Agent—I nave seen it stated that Gov. Hayes will arrive here on Thursday for consultation with his friends. I presame, therefore, that you have some information on the subject. President—I have oo idea that he will start for Washington until the result of the Electo ral Commission is decided. Agent—Mr. President, are you well acquaint ed with Gov. Hayes? President—I cannot say very iatimately. but I had frequent occasions to see him when he was a member of Congress, and he called just as others did. Agent—You have had a number of grave public questions before you during your term of office, some of which were of a diplomatic char acter, have been peacefully settled. I hope nothiug has occurred to occasion your regret concerning them. President—I am satisfied that they will hear examination, and there is little if anything of which I complain, considering that before I was elected to the Presidency I never had a political training or a desire to occupy a political posi tion. The conversation then turned on the meas ures of the administration, both foreign and domestic, and it seemed to be a pleasing reflec tion to the President that now, on the eve of his retirement from office, the United States were at peace with all the world, the Treaty of Washington by which the so called Alabama claims were satisfied, and the settlement ol all disputes with Spain culminating in an extradi tion treaty, being the two most prominent fea tures of diplomacy. The President, however, thought the financial policy of the administra tion was equally successful. He expressed some regret that there would not be time in Congress to act on his recent recommendation which would facilitate the resumption of spe cie payment and bring gold and currency on a par, aud the balance of trade being so much iu our favor gold would accumulate in the hands of the people as money, instead of being a marketable commodity. There having been rnmors that the President intended to send a valedictory message to Con gress, it can he stated ou authority of the President himself that he has no such inten tion. .11ETEOKUI.UlitC.ih INDICATIONS FOE THE NEXT TWKNTX-FOCE HOPES.

FOREIGN. Paul’s T'r. ublesoinc Ilnsbaud. New York, Feb. 24.—The Herald gives the following version of the trouble between Patti and her husband in St. Petersburg. A severe quarrel took place iu her box at the opera house —but her husband did not strike her as report ed. Patti left the opera house at once aud drove directly to the imperial palace. She was accorded an audience with the Emperor, from whom she obtained an order upon the chief of police to send the Marquis de Caux out of the country. He took the first train to Berlin and telegranhed back, offering an amicable separa tion. He then went to Paris, and on his arrival was served with a summons to appear Tuesday next before tbo tribunal of the Seioe to show cause why his wife should not be granted a le gal separation from him. The summons was issued at the direct request of Mine. Patti, ad dressed to one of the most prominent members of the Cabinet, by telegraph. She is expected to arrive before Tuesday. She will offer the Marquis 100,000 francs to get rid of him, and it is thought he will accept the terms and sign the paper at once. US.NO it TELEGRAMS). Geo. W.

The great popularity of JVilbor's Compound of Cod Liar Oil and Lime” has induced some unprin cipled persons to attempt to palm ofi a simple ar ticle of their own manufacture; but any person who is suffering from Coughs, Colds, or Consumption should be careful where they purchase tbis article. It requires no puffing: the results following its use are its best recommendations, and the proprietor has ample evidence on file of its extraordinary success in pulmonary complaints. The phosphate of lime pos sesses a most marvelous healing power, as combined with the pure Cod Liver Oil by Dr. Wilbor. This medicine is regularly prescribed by the medical facul" tv. Fur Rnln hv A R Wtt DUD Chumief Rnolnii fe26 eodlw TO CUBE CATARRH PHYSICIANS BAFFLED Why! Because they have not made this disease the study ot a life-time, as did old Dr. ttseder, a distinguishtd German Professor, w ho has probably spent more time over this intricate complaint than any person on the globe. Reflect tor a moment, use your Good sense, and remember that the or igin of Catarrh is in a COMMON COLD, Which cue Dox of the great remedr, RiEDERS’ German Snuff, Would have quickly cured. Now what are the symptoms of Catarrh? They commence with a sense of irritation abort the nasal organs which, if not allayed with GKRMAN SNUFF, alter a short time extend to the throat. As you lia down at night and fain would sleep and rest the weary brain. HORRIBLE TO SAY, The Secretions of the Head PASS TO THE LUXGS. Causing these delicate organs to be impregnated with CATARRHAL POISON.

Miss Lewis in the West.—The Detroit papers speak iu enthusiastic term3 of Miss Ella C. Lewis of Portland who appeared in Detroit in a concert on the loth inst. The Tiibunesays: “A more perfect stage manner than that of Miss Lewis would be difficult to imagine, and the charm ot her modest grace and self-possession was felt before she had surg a note. Her voice is a very pleasing soprano, of rare sweetness and delicacy, and of a re markably expressive quality. Her rendering of the cavatina from ‘Lucia’ would lose nothing by comparison with Miss Kellogg’s version of the same at Whitney's Opeia House earlier in the season, and at its close the presentation of a large basket of flowers aud a very enthusias tic recall testified to the delight of her audi ence. ‘The Sands o’ Dee’ was sung in a most touchingly expressive manner, and as encores Miss Lewis gave two ballads of sufficient diffi culty to evidence her cultivation and excellent method.” The Free Press says: “She is the possessor of an unusually rich and satisfying voice for the concert room, and her style de notes a hind and degree of training seldom ex hibited except by the very queens of song. The brilliancy of her execution in the cavatina ‘Kegnava nei Silenzio,’ from ‘Lucia,’ was very remarkable, while the feeling, pathos, expres sion and sentiment which she exhibited when she sang ‘The Sands o’ Dee’ proclaimed her possession of those finer sensibilities without which no singer can ever hope tj reach the hearts of her listeners.” Temperance Revival,—The first of a se ries of temperance revival meetings to be held at Music Hall came off last evening. There was a very good attendance and a good degree of interest was manifested. A number of re formed meu and others occupied seats on the stage. George W. Woodman, Esq., presided and introduced John Bennett Anderson as the sneaker of the evening. Air. Anderson is a very able temperance lecturer and his'reinarks were attentively listened to by all.

Bishop Neely then offered a fervent prayer for tho quiet repose of the deceased. The services closed with the chant “Thy Will be Done” by the quartette. The room was crowded to its utmost capacity and the police were required to keep back the large crowd filling the corridors and striving to gain admission.

Fowle Son: “In the spring of 1847 I took a severe cold which settled on my lungs, where it remained without relaxation. I was then in Massachus etts, and growing worse and becoming unable to attend to my business, I returned home and commenced searching in earnest for some medi cine which would restore my lost health. I consulted physicians, I tried many remedies, but obtained no help, but daily grew worse. 1 bad a terrible cough, and raised a good deal of blood. I bad profuse night sweats, and severe pain in my side. I continued in this state for months, and became so weak I was advised to try Wistar’s Balsam of Wild Cherry, and to my *reat joy I soon found that this remedy had ar rested the disease. I continued to use the bal sam to the extent of five bottles, and have since then experienced no difficulty of the lungs. I believe the balsam saved my life, and I shall ever bold it in high estimation. Yours truly, Lewis Phelps. feb‘26eod&wlw Harper’s Bazar.—This beautiful weekly publication is a welcome visitor to the parlor circle.

Scbenck’s Pulmonic Syrup alone has cured many, as these evidences will will show; but the cure is often promoted by the em ployment of two other remedies which Dr. Schenck provides for the purpose. These additional remedies are Schenck’s Sea Weed Tonic and Mandrake Pills. By the timely use of these medicines, according to directions, Dr. Schenck certifies that most any case of Consumption may be cured.

THE PRESS. THE FABM ASD HOUSEHOLD. Vermont Agriculture. At a meeting of the Board of Agriculture of Vermont held the present month, several interesting and profitable subjects were dis cussed. As the information presented may be suggestive and instructive to our readers, we select some parts of the lepoit contained in the Vermont Farmer: SELECTIOX OP DAIRY COWS. The old method was to select such cows as appeared well, without testing their value for the butter dairy. Recent experiments have shown that there is a great difference in cows in this respect, and by a careful selec tion the product of butler could probably be doubled, even if the number of cows was re duced twenty-five per cent. A dairyman who formerly made only 100 lbs. per cow, now has an average of 300 lbs. as the result ot careful breeding, and an income of at least $100 each, or $00 above expense of care and feed. Another made 16i lbs. in one week and over 400 lbs. in a year. A farmer who tested his cows, found that five of them only paid a profit of $5 each; while five others made a loss each of the samo sum, so that he was keeping ten cows year after year without any profit. Jerseys should be selected for butter mak ing, as they have been long bred for butter production. Their cream rises quicker, but ter is yellower, aud comes sooner. While actual trial is the surest test of milking quali ties, there are certain sigus which are usually reliable as a guide as lollows: Soft, velvety skin, large, open eyes, wide apart, slim neck and tail, clean limb3, large, crooked milk veins, a large udder, well-formed teats, wide ayaii. mm guuu sizeu ormces at me enu. In open pans, large or small the milk room should be kept as near 65° as possible all the time. The while specks so annoying are dried cream, caused by currents ot air going over the milk, unless it is in cases of cream standing till the whey separates, when some of the sour milk gets so hard as not to break up in churning. Most cream will rise in twelve hours and all the time the cream is left alter that is for it to mature. The tem perature of the cream when put into the chnrn, and kept at that temperature while churning, should be 58° in summer and about 65° in winter. The churning should stop as soon as the butter globules are large as shot, and any churning beyond that will destroy the bright gloss which can never be restored by any process. He soaks his tubs in brine till the wood is saturated. CARE OF DAIRY COWS. Calves should be reared cn good milk, and special care taken that their growth be not retarded by lack ot good food at the time of weaning and during the first fall and winter. A heifer should come in at two years of age, and then go farrow the third year, and she will be not only more profitable that year but ever afterward, as the farrow year more fully develops the vessels for lacteal secretions. The Evergreen corn sowed in drills furnishes a good crop of fodder for cows. In winter a peck of beets per day should be given each cow. Lane’s sugar beets are most easily raised and very productive; they should be sown the last of June in drills thirty inches apart and one inch deep. The plants should stand about a foot apart. Ashes may be used heavily for a dressing. The sweet Ger man turnip is a good variety and may be raised on poorer land by the use of about 1001 bs. of phosphates per acre. The Cum berland phosphate (a Maine manufacture) is highly recommended, as it proves more uni formly reliable than the Bradley brand. THE POTATO BUG. To prevent its ravages mix oue part Paris Green with twenty parts Plaster of Paris, and sift it on the potatoes in the morning when the dew is, on them. Put it on when the potatoes are first up If the bugs appear; then when the second crop of bugs are seen, and again when the third crop comes, and the potatoes will be secure. Make a sieve by tying coarse cotton over an old tin pail turned bottom up and held by a wooden handle three or four feet long, so as to prevent in halation of the poison. If a horse steps short and carefully, the difficulty is from inflammation of the shuttle bone. The middle finger fairlv represents the loot ot the horse; the knee corresponds to the human wrist. The human hand has two sets of muscles, one to extend and the other to bend or hook up the finger, and the leg and foot of the horse is the same. When inflamed, the shuttle-bone is dry and irritates the muscles as they move over it, hence the horse bends up his heel and stands on his toe. The only remedy is prolonged rest, and this should be either in a moist pasture or in a stable where the stall is well bedded with moist earth sev eral inches in depth so that the horse can rest his foot without straining the inflamed parts. Another disease is where a horse steps along and rests on his heel with the -oe up. This is founder in the feet, or in flammation of the laminae, that sensitive portion of the foot which lies in corrugated folds between the internal bone and external shell or hoof. This disease is caused by putting up the horse, after hard driving and heating, giving it grain and other feed, with out proper rubbing and blanketing, and this neglect leaves the legs to cool quickly, con tracting the blood vessels of the legs so that the blood with which the feet are gorged can not get back to the body where it belongs. In this state inflammation eusues, and it not speedily cured effusion takes place in the laminae, which in time may become foul matter or pus, and work itself out near the heel in what is known as thrush. To cure this founder the horse should be taken into a warm room and with aconite or other rem edies be given “a sweat.” If effusion has taken place, as the swollen, rounded appear ance of the under surface of the foot will show, take a fine saw and make an opening into the toe as though you were going to split the foot like that of an ox, and saw just through the shell or hoof and the watery effusion will escape and the foot may be healed. A foundered horse should be shod with the heel calks low and that on the toe high, while the shoe on one with inflamed shuttle-bone should be high at the heel and low at the toe. The wolf-tooth is a milk tooth which was not shed with that set. It is in the hog un der a year old and is in the cow just the same, and is shed in most cases in all these animals. It is usually pulled to cure blind ness, but it has no connection with the eye; it has no nerve or nerve cavity. But pulling or jerking the bit irritates the gum, and so I pull them. A Michigan physician took pains to examine one thousand cases of wolf tooth and found no connection with blindness. Never burn or cut out the lampass, but feed shelled corn or some thing of that kind, RAIN-FALL IN VERMONT. The rain-fall decreases as we go north, though the number of rainy days is greater. In Europe the rain-fall averages 30 inches per annum, while in Vermont it is about 40 nches. In Orleans county it is 41; about Thetford it is 40; near the Massachusetts line it is 42 inches; in the central part of the on _1:_4—_1 along the lake it is hardly over 38 inches. By rain-fall he meant snow and rain together. Cutting off forests has had a very important influence on the rain-fall, so that the storms are more irregular and severe at times. The old conditions of the Indian summer, that season of fair beautiful weather, no longer exist, as the area of leaves holding the moisture down to the earth by the dry au tumn foliage has been sadly curtailed, and now we are liable to storms in this as at any other season. The chickweed is one of the best weather indicators. If it is closed in the morning and remains so, a storm may be expected; if it is open full aud remains thus some days a long time of fair weather may be expected. management of Sheep. The inquiry is often made of me bow 1 man age my sbeep to obtain so large a yield of wool from year to year. Some say, “You must feed a large amount of grain;” aDd when I tell them that I feed no grain to my sheep in the last three or four years, they seem surprised; but such is the fact. If grain is fed, corn is best, and should be fed in the months of No vember and December, assisting nature (the animal) in its efforts to clothe itself with a heavy warm coat, preparatory for winter. It is in these months that wool grows the fastest for the reason above stated. My sheep are the pure bred Spanish Merinos, and I raise no ticks. A sbeep that is infested with ticks cannot produce a heavy fleece of wool.. A sure and cheap preventive is to feed once in two weeks, one-twentieth part of sul phur with their salt; it not only prevents ticks, but also the various skin diseases.—Ex. Farm Tor Sale.

It possesses the soothing and healing properties of plants, herbs and barks in their essential forms, free from every fibrous contamination, and in this respect differs from every other known remedy. In one short year it has found its w ay from the Atlantic to the Pacific coast, and wherever known has become the standard remedy for the treatment of Catarrh. The proprietors have been waited upon by gentlemen of national reputation who have been cured by this remedy, and who have, at considerable expense and personal trouble, spread the good news throughout the circles in which they move. When you hear a wealthy gentleman of intelligence and refinement say “I owe my life to Sanford’s Radical Cure,” you may feel assured that it is an article of great value and worthy to be classed among the standard medi cal specifics of the day. IMPORTANT" letter From a Distinguished Physician. NO single disease has entailed more suffering or hastened the breaking up of the constitution than Catarrh. The sense of smell, of taste, of sight, of hearing, the human voice, the mind, one or more and some times all yield to its destructive influence, The poison it distributes throughout the system at tacks every vital force, a»d breaks up the most ro bust of constitutions. Ignored because little under stood by most nhysicans, impotently assailed by quacks and charlatans, those suffering from it have little hope to be relieved of it this side of the grave. It is time, then, that the popular treatment of tbi$ terrible disease by remedies wdthin the reach of all passed into hands at once competent and trustwor thy. The new»and hitherto untried method adopted by Dr. Santord in the preparation of his Radical MUU U1J UV/CUHJ djrpiuiaii x uciicvc it imcij to succeed when all the usual remedies fail, because it strikes at the root of the diseased, viz. the acidified blood, while it heals the ulcerated membrane by di iect application to the nasal passages. Its action is based on certain fixed rules, and unless the vital for ces are too far exhausted, must, in tbe great major ity of cases, effect a cure. GEO. BEaRD, m. d. Nobscott Block, So. Framingham, Oct. 1, 1874. C A tTr r h And Deafness Cared. Gentlemen,—My wife has been troubled with Ca tarrh for years, and has tried three other remedies without any benefit. She has also been partially deaf in one ear for over twelve years. Since she has been using Sanford’s Radical Cure her troubles have been growing rapidly better. At times she can hear as well as ever, and I am confident that a per sistent use of this remedy will result in a permanent restoration of her hearing. There are several others here who are using the Radical Cure successfully, and I anticipate for it a large sale as a consequence of the never-failing relief and cure afforded by its use. Respectfully yours. A, W. DAVIDSON. Hardwick, Vt., March 2, P. S.—Mr. Luther Bullard of this town reports that he has taken many remedies, and has em ployed physicians without relief, but has derived the greatest benefit from the use of Sanford’s Radical Cure.
