RECONSTRUCTION: NEGRO SUFFRAGE.
The remarkable speebh of Judge Kelley,
of Philadelphia, says the Constitution, on
the duty of giving suffrage to the negro,
has introduced a new element into the dis:
suasion of the question of reconstruction
in Congress. We call the speech a remark
able one, because its boldness is only
equalled by its elaborate research. Take
the following extract, which pretty fairly
suggests the- whole gist of the speech. It
is the concluding part of his extended in
vestigation of the practice and principle of
the fathers as to the right of suffrage :
Mr. Saker, it is safe to assert that in
every State, save South Carolina, and pos
sibly Virginia and Delaware—in, which two
States the question of suffrage was rev. - -
lated by statute and not by constitutional
provision—negroes participated Consti
-
tilting the Convention which framed the
Constitution of the United. States, and voted
for members of the State Conventions to
Which the question_ of its ratification was,
submitted; and- as that Constitution con
tains no clause which expressly or by im
Rlication deprives them of the protecting
power and influence of the instrument tlatCY
participated in ereating, I may Welyaa3
that to secure internal peace by theestab
lishment of political homogeneity,,M per
petuate it by the abolition of polit,aial classes
and castes whose conflicting rights and in
terests will provoke incessarb agitation, as
the. oppresed may be insr.red by the fun
damental,:-principles of,liir Government, or
goaded by wrongs to armed insurrection,
we need adopt no new theory, but accept
the principles of our fathers, and adminis
ter in good faith to all men the institutions
they founded on them.
A -11 step to this, my amendment pro
' ea, not that the entire mass of people of
African deacent,whom our laws'and customs
have degraded and brutalized, shall be im
mediately clothed with all the rights of citi
zenship,—it proposes only to grant the right
of suffrage, inestimable to, all men, to those
who may'be so far - fitted - by education for
its judicious exercise as to be able to read
the Constitution and laws of the country,
in addition to the brave men, who, in the
name of law and liberty, and in the hope of
leaving their children heirs to both, have
welcomed the baptism of battle in, the naval
and military service of the United States,
and, who are embraced by the amendment
reported by the committee. This, I admit,
will be an entering wedge, la the aid of•
which, in a brief time, the whole mass, im
proved, enriched, and enlightened by the
fast-coming and beneficent providences of
God, will be qualified for and permitted to
enjoy those rights by which they may pro
tect themselves, and, aid in giving to all
others that near approach to exact justice,
whicha we' hope to attain from the intelli
gent exercise of universal suffrage, and the
submission of .all trials of law, in which a
citizen may be interested, to the decision of
_his peers as jurors.
a l A , Mr. Speaker, under but one speci
fic pledge to tey- °enactments . other. than
that which promised to vote away the„leetr
dollar frora-eaeli man's coffer an last
able-bodied son from his hearthside, if they
should be needed for the effectual suppres
sion of the rebellion; and that is, that I
will in their behalf consent to no proposed
system of reconstruction which shall place
the loyal men of the insurrectionary dis
tricts under the unbridled control of. the
wicked and heartless traitors who have In
volved us'in this war, and illustrated their
barbarity by the fiendish cruelties they
have practised on their loyal neighbors,
negro soldiers and unhappy prisoners of
war; and to that pledge, God helping me,
I mean to prove faithful. The future peace
and prosperity of the country demands this
much at our hands. The logic of our in
stitutions, the principles of the men who
achieved our independence and who framed
those institutions, ?like impel us to this
course, as necessaz, .ta it will be wise and
just.
Let us meet the question Wyly. Do our
institutions rest on complexional differ
ences? Can we cement and perpetuate ,
them by surrendering the patriots of the
insurgent district, shorn of all ~political'
`power, into the hands of the - traitoif•Whom
we propose to propitiate by such a sacrifice
of faith and honor? Did God ordain our
country for a single race of men? ...Ilk-there
reason why the intelligent, wealthy,' loyal :
man of color shall stand apart, abased, ow
election-day, while his ignorant, intempe-'
rate, vicious, and disloyal white neighb9r.
participates in making laws for his govern
mint? What is thelogic that denies to a'
son the right to vote with or against his
father, 'because ii has pleased heaven that
he should partake more largely of his
mother's than of that father's complexion ?
And is it not known to all of us that well
nigh forty per cent. of the colored people
of the south •are children of white fathers,
who, after we subjugate them, will, with
professions of loyalty only lip-deep, enjoy
the right of suffrage in the 'reconstructed
States?
And take again the following, as a happy
reminder to modern Deniocrats; of the
- teachings of a Democrat of an earlier day:
Let us frankly aecepttaefferson 4 s"htestas
to the right of suffrage, and give it practi
cal effect In a letter dated July 12, 1816,
in discussing a•proposed amendment to the
Constitution of Virginia, Mr. Jefferson

Works, vol. 7, page 345.
And again, as if to show how well con
sidered his opinion was, in the notes on
Virginia, speaking of the then constitution
of that State, he said:—
This constitution was formed when we
were new and inexperienced in the science
of government. It was• the first, too, that
was filmed in the whole United States.
No wonder, then, that time and trial have
discovered very capital defects in it

The speech is a perfect mire-house of
ammunition like this; and a text-book on
the question of negro •
ki itrage it will prove
invaluable.

wiTi' ORCHARDS DIE EARLY.
isconsin correspondent writes to the
Rveil Neza-Yorker:—Having 'seen consid-
F eable discussion in the ; Rural lately.about.
fruit trees, and believing from my own ob
servation that they are not as long-lived or
hardy as formerly, I wish to give mY.rea
son as to the cause. I have seen various
theories advanced by as many different per
sons, each advocate being certain that his
particular reason is= the true one, each
being, however, as far from the truth as
the others, and all wide of the mark. Nur
serymen, also, as I believe, carefully evade
the truth, and not always from ignorance,
but for the reason that it would subject
them to more trouble and expense to re
•move the cause than to propagate as they
do; and then it is an object to keep the
trade good.
It is well known that the first orchards
in the earlier settled portions of the coun
try were mostly raised from the seed, and
when the tree .began to bear, if the fruit
was not satisfactory, the owner went to
some neighboring tree whose fruit was
known to be right, cut off some scions, and
the obnoxious tree was grafted to good
fruit, grafted with scions taken from Old
bearing and well-matured trees; and failure
in raising an orchard was a thing almost.
unknown.
What is the practice now? Mr. A.
Stai6 a nursery, goes to Mr. 8., gets his scions'
and grafts his trees. More seeds are sown,
a new lot'of trees .started. - Meantime the
first trees grow up, need trimming, and the
limbs cut off are used to graft the new trees.
Scions are taken from trees No. 2, to graft
future trees, and thus the process continues,
propagating from young, immature, and
unripened trees.
It is also known that the risk of raising
trees is continually on the increase ; that
everybody- is on •the lookout , for some new
hardy variety, which, when got, proves tol
eiably successful for a tithe; but as orchards
continue to be propagated from it, it soon
proves. as worthless as the rest, and is cast
out of the synagogue to make room for some
other new variety; and it matters not how
hardy.a treemsk-fh - e , :at r - firtt, by the time
"the nurserymen have had it for a time it is
as worthless as heart could wish.
What would be thought of the stock
raiser, were he to propagate from animals
that were wdakly, deformed, or; were it
possible, before they had got one-tenth of
their growth? Answer is unnecessary.
Constitutional debility, or physical deform
ity,are transmitted from parent to offspring,
to a greater or les'A extent, and stock raisers
are careful to -Use for breeding only the
soundest and most perfect animals, and
those that have arrived at a proper degree
Of maturitypwell - knowing that a contrary
course would be fatal to their success. The
same law holds good in the vegetable as in
the animal kingdom; and why nursery - then
should disregard_ the laws of. nature more
than any other clads of propagato'r's, is to me
a mystery.' I also believe the practice of
grafting very youn g , and low down, or
below the surface of the ground, is bad;
that tim tree, has not , strength iior vitality
to withstand the Shockcsiiificiently , for its
future good; but it should attain a diame
ter of about one inch and then be grafted
at that heighth from the ground necessary
to feria the top *here wanted, the whole
top being severed, or, what I think is better,
allowing the tree to get a good top, and
then graft the several branches in-two or
three successive years. I have seen. both
practices carried out-with perfect—succeSs,
and have seen trees raised by,the - above
plan which had_ attained 'a diameter' of a
foot or more and in perfect health iand
bearing abundantly.
But, says on% the larger the tree' the
larger 'the body to bo severed:and,,your
shocking shock will be in the same proper- I
tion in the large tree as in the Suialrtme.
True r but as in the animal kingdom the
permanent injury sustained is not alwayi in
proportion to 'the actual injury*given/ but
depends in a great measure upon the ability
or vitality of the subject to sustain and re
cover from the effects of the operation.
Many persons sink under an operation, or
receive a shock to their constitution that.
leaves them invalids for life that another
would bear with impunity; and the tree of
larger growth I believe to-be better 2.lde to
sustain itself under the operation of graft
ing than a very small one.
.Why is itthat
fruit trees of every variety arenow- so :rsoon
destroyed by insects and various diseases—
a destruction that is now far - more common
than formerly ? My answer is; t why:Lare
sickly and ll enfeebled children quickly_ car
ried off when attacked by disease ?—beeause
they have not the constitution or vitality to
resist the disease until it has run its course.
Illy plan is this: Set .out see.dlings;
allow them to get a good vigorous growth;
go to some old bearing tree, get your Scion,
and, if you have not the reqiiisiteskill get
some one who has to graft your orchard,
and you will soon cease to be troubled With
sickly trees. A due regard should also, be
paid to the seed sown at first; sow only
seed from strong, hardy Varieties. I know
this would not be so convenient as the Com
mon plan, and would compel a man to
either do his own grafting or employ those
traveling tree murderers, so common in - the
Eastern States a few years ago; Who, under
pretence of grafting a man's trees for him,
• have been known, when a liAved to have
their own way, to ruin map- a fine orchard;
but the certainty of rais'-g an orchard out
weighs all other cax ,-derations. Ido not
pretend to be infaltule, but the above con
clusions seem P' P lain and common sense,
that I belie them to be sound. If any
r ye a better reason, or shaw the
mine, 'I will "give up the belt."
f o
a n i e
in will ev ,f
s;•ee writing the above, I have noticed
a ommunication in the Rural of January
. th, from Mr. Houghton, in which mention
is made of propagation from a certain golden
pippin that proves the correctness of my
theory. The reader can judge for himself.
FEEDING ROOTS.
I think it pays full well to feed roots to
cattle as any stock I can have. Horses do
well to have a part of their food supplied
with carrots. I always clean all of my roots
for horses or cattle. Some say dirt is good;
but much of it is not. It is a good deal of
work to clean them, but it pays. 1 fed a
number of hundreds or bushels one winter,
and wiped every bushel of them. One of
my neighbors#fed, the same winter, carrots
to his horses and a cow; he came over to
my place one day and said that his cow did
not ,do well. He_wanted to make her extra
,fat, and. gave her all of meal and, carrots
she would eat, but she did not gain much.
told him he fed too much dirt; he thought
not. He wanted I_ should , go and see the
cow. His horses, he though, - were sick. I
went andfound no disease about the cow.,
He wanted to know how I fed my roots. I.
-told him to clean his carrots and give-in
small feeds until the stomach had gained
its natural strength again.. He did so, and
his cow fatted well from that time, and was
a very fat animal when
I 'think that roots fed with corn meal pay
best, for the reason' that the juice of the
vegetable moistens the meal and aids diges
tion. The action on the stomach is diffe
rent from water; in masticating the root it
warms the juice while mixing with the sa
liva, and it assimilates more readily with the
gastric juice and prepares the_ food for_a
good digestion. The lacteal duets take up
the nutritive part of the food, while the
blood carries it to the tissues, and the ani
mal lays on fat.
We have weighed and fed, and weighed
again,.bUt no record has been kept of the
gain, tithe, and amount of food. I should
have to write from memory. lam feeding
four head this winter with carrots and , poor
corn, -
.and shall feed meal as soon as corn
will grind. sowed two acres of turnips;
the'grasshoppers ate them off the first time;
I sowed again, but being late, they were
small, the heavy rains flooded them. I shall
try again 'next season.— Cor. of Rural.Neze .

MASON & HAMLIN'S
CAIHNET ORGANS.
MASON & HAMLIN respectfully invite attention
to' the fact that their Cabinet Organs are, by the
written testimony of a MAJORITY OF THE MOST
EMINENT ORGANISTS AND MUSICIANS IN
AMERICA, as well as a number of distinguished
artists of other countries, declared to be unequalled
by any similar instrument—" THE BEST OF THEM
CLASS;" also, that they have been awarded within a
few Years, thirty gold or silver medals, or other first
premiums, at the principal . Industrial Fairs of the
country, for the best instruments of this class. They
willbe glad to send • to any one desiring it, an illus
trated catalogue of styles and prices, with a large
amount of this testimony.
CAUTION TO PURCHASERS
The high reputation of our CABINET ORGANS
freqtentlyinduced dealers to represent that other
instruments are the same thing--that there is no essen
tial difference between the Cabinet Organs and Organs
with varlets names, made by other makers. This is
not true. The excellences of our Cabinet Organs,
which have given them their high reputation, are the
result not merely of the superiority of their work
matighiP, bid also in large measure of essential differ
ences of .construction. which, being patented, cannot
be employed by other makers. These are essential to
their better quality and volume of tone ano unrival
led capacity of expression. When a dealet represents
another instrument as the same thing as the Cabinet
Organ, it is usually an attempt to sell an inferior in
strument on which he can make a larger pr:Jut.
