General William M'Candless, yoa were a member cf the Senate in 18G0, when the Fifteenth Amendment to the Federal Constitution was before that body for rati fication. - On that amendment you made a speech, and that speech is published in the Legislative Record, page 9G4 ; and in that speech, speaking of the friends of that measure, you said: "They are sapping the very foundation of our liber ties by the theory contained in the so-called Fifteenth Amendment to the Federal Constitution." . . . - Speaking to General Fisher, one of the Senators from Lancaster, you said : .''The shade of Thaddeus will rh'j to your sup port, and give jou some reason for sur rendering to Federal power the very cit adel of the liberties of the people of your State." 1 Further on you said : ' ; 'The patriots of the revolution battled for years on many a doubtful and bloody field to establish, which they did success fully, the right of local self government on this continent, and now, in. the space of three hours, the majority in this cham ber will set aside, as far as in them lies, the handiwork of the fathers of the re public." 4,The solar system acts by the immuta ble laws of nature : our system by the mutability of the political necessities of an unscrupulous party. If their action to a centralization of power in the Fed eral government (as the passage of this joint resolution will -assure) your State rights and ; personal liberties will melt away as would the planets were they in like manner drawn by the sun, their cen tral power, from their respective orbits." "if you succeed in doing this, you not only overthrow our form of government, but tear up it3 very foundations." "Can wc approve ihe preseut proposi tion, and hope, in the future, to control any domestic relation of the State if the centralized power at Washington says nay 7 Assuredly not." ' "Can you preserve youT from of govern ment if you permit a power existing out side of. the State to regulate and control the vote of the people within it? To ask the question t is to answer it. Common sense must teach you that the vital power of the States, in their separate capacity is gone, and 'you are governed by a cen tralized depotism." "What more fatal measure can be adopt ed than the one now proposed." . "A human being might as well be de clared to live after the breath had left the body, as a State to exist when it shall have parted with this vital principle." Now,-General, we take it for granted that in usiug this language you were speaking your true sentiments ; that you verily believed that the Fifteenth Amend ment "saps the very foundation of our liberties," surrenders "the very citadel" of those liberties, and "sets aside the handiwork of the fathers of the republic;" that under it our "State rights and per sonal liberties will melt away," that it "overthrows our form of government" and "tears up its very foundation," that it is a "faint measure," and that it leaves the State dead devoid all "vital princi ple' . Very good. If you thought so, then, you were right in saying so. Rut, do you think so etill ? If not, why do you not take back the many hard things you said then, and acknowledge, like a man, that .you were all . wrong, and that all these mutterings were but the sickly va pors of a diseased brain ? , Rut, General William M'Candless, if you oo- think so still (and wo take it for granted you do), how, as a good citi zen, much less as a good Democrat, can you now "acquiesce" in an amendment so revolutionary, so fraught with direful consequences, and confess your willing ness to treat it as an integral part of the Constitution 1 Either you were vapor ing, then, or you cannot be honest, now. No honest man, no good citizen, can ac quiesce in an amendment which he char acterizes as "surrendering the very cit adel of our liberties," sapping the very foundations" of our government, a -'fatal measure" which destroys the very life of the State. If he ' believes this, he is a a recreant to his State and a traitor to his principles if he now "acqniesccs" in it all simply because it is an accomplished fact. Wc leave to the accomplished William the task of wriggling out ol thi9 dilem ma. If o is either a false prophet or a traitor knave. If what he said in 1S00 was mere buncombe or blarney for effect, he is an unfit man for any public trust. And if that speech was the honest utter anco of what lie really thought and be lieved, he is of all men the most danger ous, because he now expresses a willing ness to submit to what he believes to be a fundamental wrong, and thus confesses that, no matter bow wrong . a thing may be he will submit to without resistance. In 1S69 he regarded the Fifteenth. Amendmeut as a usurpation and revolu tionary. In 1871, the usurpation and re volution being accomplished, he submits without further cavil ; and then he gives the world notice that be, William M'Cand less, docs not resist, but acquiesces in usurpations and revolutions when they are successful, no matter how destructive they may be to civil liberty. What he wants an ofijee; and it is all one to him if it is under a government which, accord ing to his own fchowing, has been over turned.

After look ing around for some time, and making sundry remarks about the the taste of his deceased mother, he finally pitched upon one which the stone cutter had prepared iur a.,ui,,er person, --iiue mis one, Kfllll llfi. "Kilt" om.i ihn said he. "Rut," said the manufacturer, "that belongs to another man, and has Mrs. Perry's name cut on it ; it wouldn't do for your mother." "Oh, ye3, it would," said the countayman ; "she couldu't read ! And, besides," he continued, as he observed the wonderment of the stone cutter, "Perry was always a favorite name of hers, any how " Rattlesnake stories have been a great diversion with the Western press lately. It i3 thrillingly related that near Lans boro, Minn., a stout Norwegian girl was walking along the road, when an immense snake suddenly struck at her from the grass beside the path. She had no weapon and no time to run, as the snake's head wa3 high in air, already to strike j so turn ing upon her enemy, she resolutely kept her eyes directed on those of the monster, and swung her foot back and forth, to prevent the reptile from fastening its fangs thereon. In a few miuutes, which seemed like ages to the heroine, her chance came, and she planted her heel firmly oa the snake's head, and with a stone cut o3f nineteen rattles. How Much There Is. An English writer has been engaged in estimating the amount of gold in the world in bulk. He says it could melted iuto a lump be contained in a cellar twentv-four feet square by sixteen feet in depth. Says, too, that all the boasted wealth taken from the gold mines of California and Austria could be melted and put into an iron safe nine feet high and nine feet square. A small lump indeed to cause as much labor aud sacrifice as it has to obtain it. About Milk. There were 1,700 sam ples of milk inspected in Boston last year, of which C10 were more or less adulterated. The whole number of complaints made fur the year were 206.

Corn Husking; Machine, The following is the account of a machine lately invented by a clergyman, for husking corn and gathering the fod der. It should attract th farmers . The machine j3 on two wheels and drawn by two horses. It operates on tne outsiue row of corn, passing con- tinuously around the field. The stalks in each hill are all cut off at once by two circular cutters, revolving toward each other, at the front of the machine. The stalks are carried thence, buts first, by revolving arms and an endless apron to a pair of fluted rollers, which grasp the stalks and carry fhem rar.idly thronh. The ears, however, being too large to pass between the rollers, are pushed out of tha husks in the neatest and most effective manner. This is because the joint of tho ear with the stalk is the weakest poin; and easily broken by contact with the roller. The cars fall into a hnnrrr nnrl are taken np by an elevator to a trough, whence they slide iDto a wagon that ac companies the machine, and carries thn corn to the granary. The stalks with tho huks entire are passed between the rollera to a platform, and when snfiieipnt. fnr bundle is accumulated, it opens and drops them on the ground ready for binding and stacking. The machine is provided with an arrangement by which tho corn, when it has fallen can be lifted off tho ground and brought in eontact with tho saws. Provision is also made for cutting corn while crcen. and niacins it in j f r - - bundles without husking; that process to bo tho subject of another operation nf passing between the rollers when the enrn (has become perfectly ripe. It is worthy or note that tne nusking is accomplished without shelling a grain of corn. One man and four boys with thrco horses have run a working model of the machine, and cut and husked corn at the rate of ten acres per day, saving the stalks and husks, perfect. Doylcstown Democrat.

He prudent in planting ; one corn is of ten enough for an acher, and if you must leave anything out, why, drop your pota toes. Keep your rakes in cood order Re formed rakes make good husband men. Farmers are not expected to be men of letters, but it is generally understood that you will make A while the sun shines. Your field may be "furrowed with care," but it canuot "be harrowed by the, recollection." Even your jrrief mav bo of a mnvin character, for if there are no horses, the rarmcr s sjtcers will move the plow. No matter how much work von h on foot keep your tow out of flax. loumust remecibor which arn tha most noisy vegetables the potato balls ; and you cau make a pumpkin holler. Jvecp in mtnil the active ones ; beans will run : you can see the cornstako in the fiSld and one vino that you plant may uuu nop wncn it comes up.
