A comparison between tbe man who betrayed his country in 1SC0 and the man who stands forward as the candidate of the Democracy to-day, will not show any great dissimilarity, lioth have the same smooth dissimmu lation of manner, both are traiued and skilled in that school of politics, which has ever been the bane rf this country, which has in days of high est prosperity plunged it into war or diplomatic entanglements.

And now for a Eligbt look into lie letter of the immaculate reformer wherein be accepts tbe high trust re posed in him. Mr. Tilden starts out with a false promise, and consequently reaches a false conclusion. He says, "Tbe af fairs of the country, are due to the blunders and reckless course of tbe present administration. " Are they Indeed, Mr. S. J. Tilden That assertion is just about as true, nd yon just as much believe it, as on did the oath which yon took to ibe amount of your income on that oemorial occasion which has passed into history. Tbe true reason for the present par 1yzed condition of tbe moneyed in terest of this country, is due to tbe immense sums borrowed by yourself nd your clients, the railroad gam tier's ot this country, who to make a showing af rour non-paying lines in the market, borrowed, and placed the monnts to tbe last dollar in stocks that did not pay you knew you could not pay and tben when tbe interest became due and tbe crash csme, .you slipped out, and left the farmer, the mechanic, the widow and tbe orphan, to loos their last dollar with calm unconcern.

With pa tient care and toil the Republican par ty has fought its way from amid the breakers of civil war through the s boals and quicksands of reconstruc tion with every bstiele placed in their way by a treacherous enemy, who has for fifteen long years Wen trying in every way to thwart and defeat them. No pledge has been too solemn to be broken ; political alli ance upon matte's of finance ha3been impossible, on account of bad faith on the part of the democratic party by legislative action at home and in fluence abroad. Their very leaders have been identified with foreign cap ital to take advantage of any and every chance to drain the life-blood of the counfy, and bv tongue and pen to soil and digrace the heritage of their fatuers. Yet those who bared their bo3oms to the foe, w bo stood in the red-hot front of battle, who now walk tbe earth maimed, scarred, wasted by di sease, should be living campaign doc uments, that through tbe eye to tbe brain teach an uaforgctful lesson. And further yet, tbe martyred dead who starved to death in Rebel pris ons in hope that their death might not be in vain, have joined a martyr ed President, slain by an assassin who was paid by copperhead gold. No answer comes to that fearful inquiry true it has received ooe sworn answer but it is again pro pounded, "Did Gov. Tilden par his taxes honestly during the war ? or did he dishonestly evade part of his income tax during the period he re fused to swear in his return, and pre ferred fo pay the penalty ?" Mr. Til den stands before tbe people to-day as a pre -arieator, if not perjurer. Neither as a liar Dor perjuror can he so stand. If the accusation is true ; if as the record proves, while he was accumulating millions, he avoided tbe paying of an honest tax by with holding the truth. Mr. Tilden, of all men at this day, can least afford to keep silent. If not guilty, as the rec ords show, then why this silence ? "Public opinion has not been swift to condemn," "but unless be can show that he did not defraud tbe Govern ment ;" "if he continue to treat tbe matter flippantly and contemptuous ly;" "that he did not place a forced and unlawful construction upon tbe excise act ;" he must expect the condign ex ecration of all honorable men. From lsC2 to 1871 he advanced from ob scurity as a financier to a great mil lionaire. How ? Delta. !' Ywrk Nnpcrttltlvm. With tbe old time festivities and customs linger the old time supersti tions. These effect social and busi ness life. Men believe in ghosts, in haunted houses and unlucky days as devoutly as tbey do in tbe Bible. Strange enough, Saturday is the un lucky day of the old New Yorkers. I saw to-day, savs a city correspond ent, a very intelligent lady, who re fused to sign a lease because tbe oc cupancy was to commence on Satur day, "baturday bas always been tbe bane of oar family," she said. Some houses have been unoccupied for months from the reputation of being haunted. There is one to-day that stands in a very eligable neighbor hood for tbe business to which it is devoted. Everything around it is snatched up readily. This, with eve ry improvement, stands idle. Par ties can be found brave enough to take tbe house at a low rent, but tbey can get no custom. The Nathans house was one of the Coest on Twenty-third street Its location could cot be surpassed. It was within one house of Fifth avenue, and directly opposite Fifth Avenue Hotel. It was superbly furnished, and was offered lor a song. One or two families were willing to take it but no domestic would live in the place. After standing idle for two or three ears it was given over to trade. But ladies would not cross tbe doomed tbrcsbbold. At last it was taken down, stone by stone, and a warehouse erected on tbe founda tions. Even this does not seem to have silenced tbe voice of blood. A very famous mansion has just bsen sold under tbe hammer on Mad ison avenue. - - It ha the reputation of being haunted.

At one time it was the abode of fashion. Tbe lady of tbe man sion was the belle of New York, and gave tbe most famous parties on the island. Her entertainments were tbe envy of New York, and the old Knickerbockers could not compare with her iu the magnificence of ; her receptions.

In speaking of the -beet tlme; for selling farm produce, Mr. Kern says: "Farmers are often blamed for not selling their produce as soon as it is ready for market It must be con fessed that those who do so, taking one year with another, do quite as well'ai those who bold on in hopes of getting higher prices. They obtain their money soon after harvest and are enabled to use it to advantage. Dealers in grain :an obtain money much more easily than farmers, and can consequently bold tbo grain longer. While farmers often do bet ter by selling early, there is still room for tbe exercise of judgment One reason why it hi best to sell early is, tbat most farmers are disposed to bold on to their grain as long as possi ble, and when tbe time comes that they must eh tbsre are more sellers ; than buyers, and the price declines."

Tbe manure should not be allowed to accumulate under the roosts and tbe floors of tbe houses. It should 1mj deodorized with dry earth or sifted coal ashes, or muck or plaster or otbe ab.-orbent, and remov ed at least once a week, and deposited where fowls cannot gain access to it. This, w hen properly attended to, will be found to render tbo task of keep ing down the lice much easier. The quarters including roosts, nests, walls, floors and utensils of every kind, should be thoroughly whito- arise J ay in April, July, Septem ber and November. The wash should have some sulphur or kerosine inccr potated with it, and if it be put on bot it will be all tbe better. It sboulJ be applied to every crack and cranny, no point be missed. The roost po'.es or perches should be re-J moved, and all the bearings or poinU of contact should be especially trea ted, for it im iu these places that the "mites" are most at home. After a thorough application of the lime wash, the roosts should be well smear ed with a mixture of lard and kero sine. The hen's favorite resort to rid herself of lice is tbe dust bath. Where fowls are not at liberty to seek a suitable bath, it should always bo furnished them in a tunny part of their house. It may consist of chip dirt, dry earth, sifted coal ashes, wood ashe?, or a mixture of all of them to gether, with a little sulphur or Per sian powder mixed with it Even where fowls have their liberty it will be found beneficial to give them a dusting place, to which they will be sure to resort. It will never be nec essary to catch and apply oil or grease of any kind to fowls to destroy lice, if tbe foregoing suggestions are put into practice. But where, lrom neglect or carelessness, the poultry areiofested, it maybe advisable in order to destroy as soon as possible all traces of vermin to apply some unguent or poison to the bodies of the fowls. For this purpose we would advise a mixture of lard and coal oil, heated together until thor oughly mixed, as the cheapest aud most conveinent article to use. If thought best a little sulphur may be mixed into the compound. To apply it, catch tbe fowls at night, and with the finger smear a little of the prepar ation on the top of bead and under the lower mandible : then a small quantity under each wiag, and rub it so that it will reach the ekin ; re peat the same operation between the body and thighs and about tbe root of the tail. One operation, if thor oughly performed, will be sufficient The complaint that poultry keeping is unprofitable generally comes from the parties who neglect the small de tails of the business, wbicb are so important in the comfort and profit ableness of the flock. If the forego ing directions are put into practice, there will be little to apprehend on tbe score of lice. Practical Far- ItontrwylBR Weed. On looking back many years, we see the progress which has been made in the mode of attacking them, iu successive gradations. Half century ago the common injunction was, to "pull up and remove carefully those which had gone to seed, to prevent the seeding of next year's crop ;" to "be careful not to scatter the seed" which had been already borne in abundance. This was regarded as good and careful management But an improvement was made on this mode, namely, by not allowing tbe seed to ripen their formation was to be prevented and an excellent idea it seems to be ; under the improved treatment weeds were destroyed w hen half a foot high, more or less. But observing cultivators were not satis fied. They discovered that the labor of rooting out these full-grown mon sters was too great Tbey struck boldly, therefore, for destruction of these" intruders while they were only an inch high. The laoor was decreas ed incredibly. There was a great difference in the force required to crash a delicate little organization as large as a cambric needle, and one a foot high, with roots like strong horns branching and penetrating tbe soil another foot, and lifting tbe plants of the crop when torn out The im proved mode lessens the labor ten, twenty, or thirty fold. The great point, then, was to take weeds in time, and it was found to be better to pay a man five dollars a day to destroy them in their feeble and deli cate condition, than fifty cents when stoat and shading tbe whole crop. But still further improvement was made, and this was to destroy the weeds before they came up, when tbey were just beginning to send ont their minute white fibers from the seed. In other words, the steel rake, fine harrow, or cultivator, is passed over the surface while it is yet per fectly clean. Tbe procces consists simply in mellowing thoroughly tbe whole surface without vailing for any of them to make an incipient ap pearance. Parennial-rooted weeds, as Canada thistle, milk-weed, quack-grass, Ac , which spread mostly by tbe roots, xay be thoroughly eradicated in a single season, and at a little expense, by plowing often enough to keep the leaves perpetually under. For annua weeds, kill tbcm in earliest infancy, while minute and fragile, and easily swept off by myri ads; and for the perennial, never let a leaf appear above the surface, and the work will be speedily and cheaply accomplished Country Gen Hrman. ' The opinion prevails with many persons, tbat steers are more profit able than ' cows. The Live Stock Journal takes issue with them and says: "If cheese is made, tbe ordin ary cow will produce , 1,600 pounds in four years, wbicb at la cents per noond. win amount to $192. If but ter is made, 600 poaods will be the product of four years, which at 30 cents, wiU monot to 30 ; and SOU pounds of pork at $64 more making the income from an ordinary cow for four years, ia butter and pork, $210. Now, if we estimate that it costs $10 more in labor to milk a cow, and work up tbe product than to take care of tbe steer, we must deduct lrom tbe pro duct of the cow $40 reducing tbe cheese product to $l&2, and the bat ter and pork product to $200. 'ow, ifcb steer dressing 800 pounds will weigh 1,400 pounds on foot, and sell say at 6 cents or $34 ; thus giving a cash product of less than half of the butter product of the cow."

An article in the JlrvcoM Jforticolr, translated and published in the Far mer (Eng.,) coutains some points worthy of attention by our American farmers, as the same principled whic govern the growth of tbis tuber in Europe are also potent here. When we want to regenerate aoy particular kind of potato, or still more, to pre vent its degeneration, it is of tbe first importance to make a iudicious selec tion of parent plants. Several means may be adopted to thisend. For ex ample, the choice of the largest pos sible tubers which represent well the marked features of the variety since tbe too frequent scttiug of small tub era tends to deterioration. Another plan is to choose the seed when dig ging up the crop, from the well-furnished roots, and select the tubers w hich are most typical of tbe special variety under treatment. The shape of tbe tuber need not be too much considered. Some peo ple imacrine that the tubers which differ from the usual shape of the kind to which they btlon?, are of necessity degenerate specimens, but this is ac error. Tubers may be not exactly of tbe shape characteristic of the variety, and yet produce well shaped potatoes in the following year. As a rule tbe shape of various kinds of potatoes differ according to the nature of tbe soil in which they are cultivated. For example, it is generally sunposed that the "Mtir- joulin" ought to be long and narrow; nevertheless, some ligut sandy soils produce it in a swollen, and some times even rounded form, though it turns out long and narrow if grown in stiff soil It is a general physiological fact common to almost all plants, and specially marked in the case of the potato, that if they are planted early every year their precocity increases, whilst by reversing tbe course of ac tion the contrary effect is produced, aud they tend to become later in at taining full growth. Tbe same re sult appears if we plant successively in a cold soil. In this ca.se they be come latter in arriving at maturity, while the contrary happens i' vre select a warm ground. Again it is almost certain if we take the first buds that are developed on a potato for planting, the crop will be earlier than if we planted with the second buds, or still moro with those of a third germination. It results from all this, that amongst the various precautions to be taken in attempting to mantain or even improve any va riety of potato, a judicious choice of tubers for plautiag is of special im portance. The craploymetit of seeds, properly so called, might also perhaps be re sorted to, sometimes advantngeousiy so. But how often must we not sow before we get good types, and good varieties as a result ? Still notwith standing its uncertainty, this method should not be neglected. It is gen erally believed tbat certain kinds of potatoes, such as the "Marjoulin," neither flower nor run to seed. This again is an error. All potatoes will flower and yield seed when they are very strongly manured and are in condition of exuberant vegetation; but it is none tbe less true tbat there aro some varieties whose natural strength leads them to flower and seed more freely than others. Bant la Olery. Tbere are two causes of rust. Cel ery likes a cool, moist situation, and if a trifle shaded all the better. If it is planted in an open situation exposed totbesun, it sometimes burns, and causes rust This, however, is not the most frequent cause. Celery should neither be hoed nor earthed up when moistened with dew, rain, nor when the ground is moist. It should be done when air and soil and plant are dry, otherwise rust to be be the result. It the soil is permited be tween tbe leaf stalks or in tbe heart of tbe plaut at earthing up, rust or rot, or both is the compensation. This is one reason why we dislike celery of a branching habit, the work of earthing well is so dilncult. A dwarfish plant of straight, compact growth, is altogether the safest and best. While on this subject we will say, never let celery become so dry as to wilt, either while growing, or when taken up for storing or consumption. It will never recover from such treat ment, but always remain tough and hollow. Keep celery growing rapid ly, and when taken up for pitting do not allow it to show the least sign of wilting, nor keep it exposed to light for a long time If vou wish to know what really good celery is, have a few dozen plants nnder special care. (ive them a good soaking of manure water every two or three days. Do not earth tbem up until tbe plants are at least eichteen inches in hight Then bank up to the ebortest leaf where it is attached to the leaf stalk. After the heart has grown up to the height of tbe outside leaves, bank up again, so-tbat you will have about two feet of the plant earthed up. In a few weeks after tbe last bank tho celery will be fit for use. I'lVi' Flora! Guidf. Cnlllvalloa In Bracaa. 1 lie trutn ot the following cannot be too strongly enforced : "V itb a press of work often tbe cultivation of hoed crops is nut off tntil tne weeds nave attained a con siderable size, even so as to over shadow tbe crop. This is a mistake. hvery weed not destroved is sapping tbe ground of tbe nutnmnt that is just in tbe best condition for the growing plant, but if tbe weed is de stroyed as it comes out of tbe ground it has as yet only taken its nutrition from its own seed. Again, a single motion, ween weeds are tiny, will destroy hundreds, where, if allowed to remain come time longer, eact ia dividual specimen will require tbe same effort. Here is where tbe stroke ia time saves ninety-nine or more. This is most emphatically true ia the growth of onioas, beets, and other crops closely sown, which require band work entirely. In case of po tatoes the plan of harrowing alter planting and before tbey are far ad vanced is growing in favor. This al lows tbe crops to have a good start of the weeds, and tbe potatoes are not in the least injured by the har row. Ddioil Iree rre.Hs.

It is the same party that in the last Congress through its ex- rebel representatives defended the atrocities of Andersonville, Libby, Belle Isle, and through its Northern representatives applauded the de fense ; and as these two classes of rep resentatives clasped bands, with ex ulting shouts, over the graves of Un ion soldiers brutally tortured, cruelly starved, and finally in cold blood as sassinated, this same Democratic par ty said, Amen!

It is tbe same party that convicts colored men of petty offenses, that it may hire them out to their old owners and taskmasters, to be beaten and starved, chased by bloodhounds, and whipped to death.

Even George William Curtis comprehends at last tbat, while be has been crying peace and good will, and maundering over bis civil-service bobby hundreds nay thousands of free citizens of the Republic have been baselessly murdered under tbe very folds of the American flag, and tbat the assassins are at large; and worse still, tbat tbey propose to administer this gov ernment , ' . roaflaiaa; raaltry. If we wish to confine our ben?, so as to protect tbe garden and crops, we must necessarily take much more pains than when we allow them to rnn at large. To confine bens, and to have tbem do as well aa when allow ed to run at large, we must follow the following rules: , : 1. Feed regularly, at least twice a dav ; not too much, but just enou b to satisfy tbeir appetites 2. Keep pure water before them alftbetimo. '. 1 -. 'it. Keep plenty of gravel and sand before tbem. '' 4. Provide for them a good warm roosting house, and always keep it free from dirt and vermin. u 5. Keep at least half of tbeir park in grass, and plough the remain der occasionally so as to allow tbem plenty of wallowing places. . , political: The l-eril mt lb" llntir. When the slaveholders of the South rose in rebellion, and forced this country into a terrible war for its own preservation, they had been for many years in possession of the National Government and ia control of the Legislative and Judiciary Depart ments, all of which they had used for the purpose of furthering their chances of success in the strcggle planned for at Iea"?t ten years- before it broke forth. Tbi control of the Government they had gained by means of a "united Soutb," together with such assistance as tbey could obtain from the douhfaced Democ racy of the North. At this time the appointment of rep resentatives in Congress was based upon the whole number of free pei- sons ia the several States (excluding Indians not taxed), together with three-fifths of a'l slaves. Since the abolition ot slavery and the adoption of .the fifteenth Amendment all of the colored population, hitherto slaves, is counted in the apportionment, in Meiid of three-fifihs, and the result is, of course, a direct gain to the rela tive power of tho former slave States in National affairs. The actual gain, so far, to the States which participa ted in the rebellion, bas been about twenty members of Congress, and. lead of former Secessionists wb fin.l ine present si-engtn ot the sixteen former-slave States (including West Virginia) to be: Representatives, HC; Senators, 32; electoral yote, 14$. The strength of all the other States (counting Colorado) is: Representa tives, 177; Senators, if; electoral vote 221. In order for the former Secessionists, therefore, with a "united South," to secure control of both the Executive and Lpfrifllat; ; branches of the Government, the ac cretions wbicb tbey need from the North are aa follows : Representa tives, 31 ; SeauWs, 7; and electoral votes, 37. To accomplish this gain, they flat ter themselves is not an impossible j task. I'tcy know that thev have lost ! much of the better class cf Northern and little care as to what those pur pu.-e reaiij are. c pon inese tney confidently couut for their needed 7 Senators, 31 Representatives, and 37 electoral votes. Such is the projected plan of tbe Democratic managers of tbe States lately in open rebellion ; and let ns put our pencil right Lere upon its weak point it is to be found in the claim of a "united South " There is no united South. There is no such sectional political division as the words convey. It is one planned by tbe same minds that planned the Southern Confederacy, and shaped by tbe shot-guns and knives of Southern ruffians of White Leagues and Ko Klux Klans. Instead of there being a united Soutb, five Southern States are, to day, Republican by an aggregate majority of 100,000. Those five States have 10 Senators, and 37 elec toral votes which by right belong to the Republican party ; and by the same token there are at least 35 Southern Congressional districts which should return Republican Rep resentatives. But these Republican majorities. Senators, Representatives and electoral votes, the Southern leaders propose to wipe out by such massacres as those of Vicksburg, Coushatta, Colfax and Hamburg. They propose to make a "united South" with such tools as the shot gun and tbe knife. Tbeir representa tion and their electoral vote have been increased by the enfranchise ment of tbe negro, and they intend tbat it shall work to their advantage and tbeir ends, and not to that of the Republican party and tbe cause of freedom. This is the peril of the hour, and one that we must face. There can belittle doubt of tbe evils tbat would suit from -be return of the seces sionist leaders to that control of the nation for which tbey are now schem ing. From what they did in the past we can well conjecture wbat they would do in the future; and tbe immediate evils, overlooking the graver ones to follow, would be a wholesale plundering of the Treasu ry to meet the fifty millions of South ern claims already presented, and a shameful oppression of tbe rape for wbose enfranchisement we are taking uch credit to ourselves.

A B.aleigh lawyer was interviewed yesterday by an agriculturalist living a score of miles from tbe city, who said be wanted to secpre $ divorce from bis wife. "Vou don't live happily with her, eh?" inquired the attorney. "No; we don't seem to bitch worth a cent." was tbe quiet reply "Does she scold and fret and make yonr home a hell upon earth, so to speak?" continued the lawyer. "That's her, exactly." "And you are prepared to prove that yoa have a peaceful - disposition, and that you have done everytbiug you could to make jour home pleas ant?" 'Vou bet I am! Anybody as knows me will swear tbat I wouldn't hurt a flea, and tbat I moved aronnd borne like ac angel."t " ell, 1 guess we can maKe out a case." said tbe lawyer as he took up his pen aud began to jot down tbe points. After a moment be inquired "Ho you ttiinlc your wilo will con test tbe case ? Iiaa she got any de fense f" "Waal, now, I never thongbt of that, Blowly replied the farmer. "I didn't know as she had anything to say abont it." "She may have. Iiaa she any grounds for complaint against you?" "I don't know , much about law,'' answered tbe client in a hesitating way.
