Proposed Radical Amendment
to the onstltution of the
United States.
Article 10.—If any State shall
fail to maintain a common school
.-ystciu uinler which all persons be-tween
the ages of five and eighteen
years, not incapacited for the same,
shall receive free of charge such ele-mentary
education as Congress may
prescribe, the Congress shall have
power to establish therein such a
system and cause the same to be
maintained at the expense of such
Btate. ^^^^^^^
Radical Views of Civil Rights.
Senator Boutwell says:
' And therefore, I say, if it were
possible, as in the large cities it
is possible, to establish seperate
schools for black children and for
white children, it is iu the highest
degree inexpedient to either es-tablish
or tolerate such schools.
The theory of human equality
cannot be taught in families, ta-king
into account the different
conditions of the different members
of the families composing humau
society; but in the pnblic school,
where children of all classes and
conditions are brought together,
this doctrine of human equality
can be taught, and it is the chief
means of securing the perpetuity
of republican institutions. And
inasmuch as we have in this coun-try
four million colored people, I
assume that it is a public doty
that they and the white people to
the count ty, with whom they to are
lie associated in polititial and pub-lic
affa>rs, shall be assimilated and
made one iu the fundamental idea
of human equality. Therefore,
whore it would be impossible to
establish distinct schools, I am
against it as a matter of public poli-cy.
Judge Russell says:
The pretension that any person
or class may be prevented from
resorting to a public place whose
doors are open to all but them,
and denied to them only on account
of color or race, will not be toler-ated
by any court honestly and
sincerely desirous of upholding the
constitution and the laws according
to their true intent aud meaning.
Mr. N'eill McKay says:
Rally this last time and elect me,
and there will he no parlor and no
kitchen. Vote down the wealth
and intelligence of the country.—

LANDLORD—Excuse me, sir, really, sir, I don't like, sir,to disturb you, sir, bat my house is crowded, sir,
and I mast make room for this gentleman.
RADICAL CONGRESSMAN—What do yon mean f I'm not going to sleep with a negro.
LANDLORD—Can't help it, sir; yon mast decide or give np the room, for you see, according to the civil
rights bill. I eau't refuse your friend lodging without paying him fir* hundred dollars, aud
that I can't afford to do ; so yon must make room for him.
RADICAL COHORESSMAN—(Getting up and " gitting") d—u Snmner and bis " legacy."
Ku Klux.
Gov. Caldwell, after acknowledg-ing
the honor school boys have paid
him by electing him an honorary
member of a debating society,in suit-ed
them by ordering his name off
their books. This insult was offered
to the hoys because they elected a
gentleman an honorary member who
Gov. Caldwell charged with belong-ing
to the ku-klux. The Governor
wrote an insulting letter to the boys
and gave as a reason for withdraw-ing
from their society,that he would
not associate with a ku-klux.
Let ns see how it is. The Gover-nor's
daily companion and the man
with whom he said he "rarely dif-fered,"
was a confessed ku-klux.—
We mean Manager Hearne.
The Governor after cursing Plato
Durham as a d—d ku-klux, took up
with Plato.
Thomas Pnrnell, the Radical can-didate
for Superintendent ot Public
Instruction, is a convicted ku-klux.
Tommy said it was a lie, be never
belonged to the order. The editor
of the Winston Sentinel says he en-listed
him, and will soon have cer-tificates
from other gentlemen that
they were there when Tommy was
admitted
Nor is this all. A gentleman in-forms
us that Mr. R. C. .Badger, a
bosom friend- of the Governor, or-ganized
ku klox lodges in various
parts of Wake county, about the
time he was making speeches that
the negro bad no soul, nor bone* in
his nose.
We thought at one time we would
wait nntil the new Chief Justice
left the State before we would pob-lish
such things on the Chief Exec-utive.
We omitted in the proper place
to say that the Governor's Adjutant
General.ot whom it was said "Nich-ols
& Gorman are with ns," is
charged by the Tim Lee wing of the
negroes with being a ku-klux. '
It would seem after all that the
Governor loves a kn klux when be
is a radical.—Sentinel,

"The Intelligent White
Leaders."
During the campaign the " iotel
ligeut white leaders" of the Radi-cals
will doubtless attempt to
create the appearance of Rome re-spectable
issue, as existing between
themselves and the Democratic-
Conservative party—and by this
means, endeavor to divert the at-tention
of the people from the con-sideration
of the vital interests, in-volved
in this campaign.
Beneath the coveting of sotno
friendly shadow, how they would
rejoice to be able to hide from the
indignant gaze of an outraged, in-jured
aud insulted people — that
hideout spectacle—their party's re-cord
of shame, that totig, black,
catalogue on which is inscribed, as
in letters of fire—iu characters in-delible—
their deeds of deviltry all
through the South.
They would be unspeakably hap-py
could they devise some Lethean
draft which migot be administered
to the people of the State, rendering
tbera " to dim forgethilncss a prey"
—darkening their perception and
deadening their sensibilities, and
causing them to cease regarding
with such constant looks of re-proach,
abhorrence, loathing and
fiery indignation, those monuments
of ikame and disgrace, which the
hands of these same Radicals have
raised for themselves in every
Southern State where they have
had the rule, and which shall he
more durable than brass, to |>er-petuate
the lasting infamy of their
memory.
How they would like tn make the
people of North Carolina forget thai ;
niaefern million* of fraudulent dtbt
piled upou the tax-payers of the
State by that infamous Radical
Legislature of 1868.
'How tbey would like to get rid
ot the damning odium of lloldeu
and Kirk's Ku Klux War—this the
most outrageous, diabolical, unjust
and tyrannical of all their internal
engines of persecution aimed direct-ly
at the personal liberty of the
people.
How they do wish that the Civil
Rights bill bad been kept quiet un-til
after this election was over, any
bow, and then at nil hazards made
a law of the land by that body of
omnipotent usurpers, the " Radical
Congress," and then enforced by
the same vile role of might, which
has executed all the rest ot their
ODCODStitational edicts of tyrannical
and cowardly oppression. How
earnestly they long for some miracu
lout interposition even though it
came from the world of woe. Some
issoe, or consideration, which might
avail, as a shield ; some shadow of
hope, which like Jonah's gourd
vine, might to their surprise, spring
np in a night, and shield them from
(be searching rays of the people's
indignation.
Alas, vaia is their hope, the Con-servative
party of this State have a
proud record, whoso bright escut-cheon
they prize too highly to be
willing to tarnish by placing upon
it with their own bauds a single
stain of shame or dishonor.
They are uot to be caught by Bad f
ical chaff, or fooled by Radical
tricks. They have struggled too
hard, toiled too earnestly, iu de-fense
of the sacred principles for
which they are contending to be
led astray by the cunningly devised
fables of Radicalism, or by any
minor issues which they may at-tempt
to suggest. All other issues,
no matter how important iu them-selves,
at the proper time sink into
iusigniflcanoe when compared with
the great issue involved. The Con-rervative
Democratic party of this
State will never consent to act the
ignominious role of " Nero fiddling
while Rome was burning." The
white people, the tax-payers of
north Carolina, will hold these " in
telligent white Radical leaders" to
their record. Radicals they are by
choice, by affiliation, by positive
implication in sll tSS frauds and
iniquity for which their party is
arraigned, res^neible, morally aud
politically, for ail its acU of plunder
and oppression. The people will
hold them to the position they vol-untarily
assumed, when traitors to
their State aud their race. Tn the
hour of oar sorest trial they joined
hands eagerly with those who were
our oppressors, and swiftly led the
masses of ignorance and passion in
their crusade against the peace,
prosperity and liberties of our peo-ple,
which crnsadu has found its
legitimate and inevitable culmina-tion
in the spirit of the civil rights
bill. W. K. M.

The Oldest Voter.
.4. North Carolinian Biting Now in
Illiiuiit icho wiir the Battle of
Guilford Court Bouse.
Having noticed iu several jounals,
articles claiming for the various I
localities the honor of having the |
" ohlest voter," I concluded to put j
in the claims of Mouroe county,
Indiana.
Living near Bloomingtou is our
venerable friend William Ross, who,
according to his own account and
the family record, was born at Guil- j
ford Court House, North Carolina,
May 19, 1*95, consequently is one
hundred and fifteen years old the j
19th of last mouth.
Father Boss is iu splendid health,
visits Bloomingtou frequently du-ring
the'pleasant weather of sum-mer,
kills squirrells with his rirle,
chops wood, works his own gardeu,
and occassioually follows the plow
and says ho feels as young as he
did a half century ago.
Father Ross was not in the Revo-lutionary
war, but was an eye-wit-ness
of the battle of Guilford Court
House, N. C, aud makes no claim
to have been a member of the mili-tary
family of General Washington,
or even having seen the General.—
He has voted for ninety-four years,
but does not remember how many
votes he has cast during that time,
but must have been well on to two
hundred times; aud has invariably
voted the regular old Democratic I
ticket aud never fails to pay his
taxes. lie is certainly the oldest
man in the United States, if not in
the world.—Courier-Journal.
Newspapers
Small is the sum that is required
to patronize a newspaper, aud moat
amply remunerative is the patrou.
I care not how humble or unpre-tending
the ga/.ette which he takes,
it is next to impossible to fill a
sheet fifty times a year without
putting luto it something worth
the subscription price.
Every parent whose sou is ofl
away from him at school, should
he supplied with a newspaper. I
Well remember what a difference
there was between those of my
schoolmates who had, and those
who hail not access to newspapers.
Others being equal, tbe first were
always decidedly superior to the
last, in debate aud composition, at
least. The reason ia plain, tbey
had command of more facts. Yonth
will peruse a newspaper with de
light when they will read nothing
else.—Judge Longstreet
Sea Mice.—The sea mouse is one
of the prettieset creatures that lives
under water. It sparkles like a
diamond and is radiant with all
the colors of the rainbow, although
it lives in the mud at the liottom
of the ocean. It should not be cal-led
a mouse, for it is larger than a
big rat. It is covered with scales
that move np and down as it
breathes, and glitters like gold
shining thiough a fleecy down, from
which fine sliky bristles wave, that
constantly change from one bril-liant
tint to another, so that as Cn-vier,
the great naturalist, says, the
plumage of the humming bird is
not more beautiful. Sea mice are
sometimes thrown upon the beach
by storms.
Hugh Donahue of OhrCOpee,
Mass.. proposes to walk 1,000 miles
in 1,000 consecutive hourson 11 amp-den
Park, Springfield. He is au
Englishman, twenty-nine years old,
weighs about 150 pounds, is nearly
five feet eleven inches tall, and
spare, wiry in built, and a man of
indomitable pluck. He claims to
have walked 500 in 500 benrs nine
years ago at Blackburn, England.
Origin of Popes.—Gregory VII.,
the great Hiiiie'braud, was the son
of a carpenter. The English Nicho-las
Shakspearc, who was Adrain
IV., was born in a poor farm house.
Urban IV., was the son of a French
cobbler. Tbe father of Benedict
XI. was a keeper of sheep. John
XXII was the son of a miller. AL
exander V. knew nothing of his
parents except that they were beg-gars,
and begged himself, when a
youth, from door to door. The re-nowned
Sixtus IV. was the sou of
a poor fisherman. The warlike
Julius II., who laid the corner stone
of St. Peter's, and employed Raph
ael and Michael Angello, used to
to say he remembered tbe time
when in the market at Genoa he
peddled onions which he had
brought in his boat from Savonna.
And Sixtus V., one of the most
distinguished in the long series,

Civil Right..—Not Dead, But
Sleepeth—Its Probable Pas
sage Early Next .
Session
It is quite (lie thing, jest now for
the Radical candidates for Congress
and their friends to argue that the
Olvll Rights having been tabled In
tbe House just before adjournment
i is a dead issue. This, however, is
all false. The bid is as live aud
full of venom aud malice as it ever
was.
It fa proper that the people should
know.
First—What is the preseut coudi
tiou of the Civil Rights bill t
Second—What are its prospects
at the next session of Congress f
Turning to the Congr«**Um*l K>
cord, we find au answer to the first
question.
On Saturday night June 20, iu
the HOBS'" of Representatives, the
Civil Rights bill being reached iu
the regular order of business, Mr.
Butler, of Massachusetts, moved
that the bill be referred to the Com-mittee
on the Jndictarj. M. Po-land,
Republican,' moved that the
rules be suspended and the bill pass
Led. OB Mr. Eldridge's motion to
adjouru, the yeas and nays were or-dered,
and the motion to adjourn
was lost by a vote ef 10S nays lo 7t>
yeas.tlie Days beiugail Repu'liiica11s.
Then the question recurred upon
the motion to suspend the rules ami
pass the bill, upon which the yeas
and nays bad been ordered. The
question was taken, and there were
—yeas 139, nays 91, not voting 5(1.
So, two-thirds not voting iu the
affirmative, the rules were not sus-pended.
We now quote from the official
report of the proceediuga. published
on page 43, of the Congressional
Record, of Sunday, June 21st:
The question reenrred on the mo-tion
ot Mr. Bntler.ofMassachusetts,
to refer the bill to the Committee
on the Judiciary.
Mr. Butler, of Massachusetts—1
withdraw that motion. Let the bill
remain on tbe table.
Mr. Bldridge—I renew the mo-tion.
Mr. G. P. noar—I wish to in-quire,
Mr. Speaker, in what position
the call of couimiltres stands.
The Speaker—Tbe last committee
called.was the Committee on the
Mississippi Levees.
Mr. Ci. F. Hoar—The Judiciary
Committee is the seventeenth on
tbe list, anil will probably not be
called at all dining next session.—
Therefore to send the Civil Rights
bill to that committee buries it.
Mr. Mldridge—It is buried any-way
; it has lieen bnried half a
dozeu times beyond the power of
resurrection ; aud you are all glad
ot it.
Mr. Cessna;—Mr. Speaker, what
posiiion will the bill occupy at the
next session as to priority on the
spcukci's table, if it remains where
it is?
The Speaker—It might be reach-ed
by a motion to go to business on
the Speaker's table, made at any
time after the morning hours.
Mr. Cessna—Is it not among the
very first bill on the S|M-akor's ta
ble?
The Speaker—It will, of course,
be among the first tin the table at
the next Session. The question re
curs on the motion of the gentle-man
from Wisconsin (Mr. Kldridge,
that the rules be suspended aud the
bill lie referred to the Committee ou
the Judiciary.
The motion was not agreed to.
The Speaker—The bill remains j
ou the Speaker's table.
Thus, it will be seeu, the civil
rights bill remains on tbe Speaker's
table, and, according to the Speaker
himself, "it will ot course be among
i he first ou the table next session,''
and, aL-o in the Speaker's own {
words, "it might be reached," at the
next session of Congress, "by a
motion to go to business ou the
Sneaker's table, made at any time
alter the morning hour."
In other words, the civil rights
bill having passed the Senate, now
remains on the Speaker's table in :
the House, from which it nan lie i
taken at any time next session, and
passed by a majority vote.
The Washington correspondent
of the Cincinnati Commercial, tele
graphing to that journal on Satur-day
Bight last, concerning tbe vote
ou the civil rights bill, stated : "As
it stands, however, it is rejected
without prejudice, and lies on the
Baker's taMe, whence it may be
taken at the next session, aud pass-ed
by a bare majority."
As to the second question, what
are the prospects of the civtl rights
bill at the next session of Congress!
the people can judge for themselves.
Here are the facts : On Monday,
May 25th, the day on which the
first vote on the civil rights bill was
taken iu t he House, there was 00
majority ou a full vote, lacking only I
Oof the two thirds vote necessary
to have taken from the Speaker1*'
table, wbon a majority vote would
have passed it. On the vote, ou
Saturday idgbt, Juue 20th, on tbe
passage of tne civil rights bill, there
Vas 48 majority in favor ot the bill,
on a small vote, and 59 Representa-tives
not Toting.
Iu both cases, all the votes in
favor of lliB "sum -of- villianies"
were cast by Repnbbcans, and every
l>saocrat voted against the" quint-essence
of abominations." Tbe na
tural inference which every intelli-gent
aud candid mind will draw
from these facts is that the civil
rights bill is Use leading policy of
the Republican party, and if the
people elect^ Repablican Congress-men
who tavbr the civil rights bill,
this sum ef villnnies will most as-suredly
be enacted into a law at the
next session of Congress. As Ear-pers
Weekly—a journal which ad-vocates
the civil rights bill—says:
There hi ao isnMe aiarnal *
than the supposition thattS tltwnat
of this bills tends to settle anything.
• • • The bill BOW goes over,
perhaps, to another session, hot it
will constantly re appear until tbe
engagement of the country is ful-filled.
Improved Cattle.
The changes that have hsan
wrought in oar domestic animals,
from their original types, are almost
Incredible, and in none are these
changes more marked than In our
improved breeds of cattle. Tbe
Devon or Durham -of to-day is as
different from their original progen-itors
as if they were a distinct spe-cies.
The originals were long and
lank, with coarse hair.' The im-proved
animals are short, compact,
and symmetrical, with fine hair.—
Yooatt says that in the originals
only the bulls were provided with
horns, and these perished away and
disappeared upon their being cas-trated.
In the improved breeds
generally the reverse of this fact Is
true. The cows and steers have
longer aud more graceful horoa tbau
the bulls. Not ouly is this change
marked iu every form and feature
of the physical animal, but im-provements
in character and dispo-sition
is even more striking.
Now, if all these changes have
been brought about by careful breed-ing
and good attention, what may
uot still bo accomplished iu the way
of improvement in this direction f
Can we reasonably conclude that
the limit has been reached, or that
there is any limit to improvement
in these animals. The illustration
on our first page very nearly fill our
conception of a perfect animal, and
yet the history of the |>ast and the
o|KTutious of tbe present furnish
grounds for tbe belief that the fu-ture
is more promising of improve-ment,
aud that the improved ani-mals
of future ages will be as far
iu advance of our present prrzo
stock as these are iu advance of
their original progenitors.— Our
Home Journal.
Worms in Horses.
The following treatment forworms
in horses is recommended by the
Prairie Farmer:
"Divide six ounces of iron-filings
into 12 parts, and.with linseed meal
and treacle, form as many balls.—
Give one ball every morning until
they are finished, aud then give a
dose of aloes, (six drachms of Bar-badoes
aloes, made iuto a ball with
two drachms of powdered ginger
aud .sufficient treacle.) which will
cause the explosion of any worms
which may remain in tbe horse's in-testines.
Thenceforward support
the horse's strength by good, gen-erous
feetling, and give iron, gen-tian,
and arsenious acid in tbe fol-lowing
mauner: powdered sulphate
of iron, two drachms ; arsenic, five
grains. Mix, and give one such
dose in mixed, cut, or soil feed,
Iwiee or thrice a week. As salt ap-pears
obuoxious to worms we would
advise to have placed, constantly, a
good sized piece of rock salt iu the
manger, or common salt, in a corner
within reach of the animal.
Growing Onions.
An account of successful growing
of onions was matle by Herman
Glass, before the Munroe County,
N. Y., Farmers' Club. Most of his
soil was sandy, but he had a few
acres of mock land which had
been wholly unproductive, and it
was given up to Soft Maples and
Elms. Iu 1807 he cleared one-fourth
of an acre of this" muck and planted
it to onions of the Yellow and Red
Uanvers variety, and he wan so en-couraged
that he has coutiuned
their cultivation ever since. Last
year ho had five acres, which yield-ed
2,310 bushels, and whiehsoldlbr
92,101.35, an average of a little over
90 cents a bushel. The cost tor fer-tilizers,
of which unleashed wood
ashes is best, and seed and labor
were 13 cents a bushel, and of har-vesting
10 cents, total 23cents, leav-ing
a profit of 07 cents. The onions
are sown iu rows 14 to 10 inches
apart, and the land is thrown in
beds a rod in width. Much soil is
found for the best, because on other
soils, and especially in sandy, the
onion maggot is destructive. Wp-men
aud even small girls are the
most profitable laborers.
Flies on Horses.
Tbe Journal of Chemistry given
the following simple recipe for the
prevention of dies ou horses: .Take
two or three small handfuls of wal-nut
leaves, upon which |>our two or
three quarts of cold water; let it
infnse one night, and next morning
poor the whole into a kettle aud let
it boil for a quarter of an hour.—
When cold it will be Ot for use. No
more is required than to moisten a
sponge, and before tbe botse goes
oat of tbe stable, let those parts
which are most irritable be smeared
over with the liqnid, namely ; be-tween
and upon the ears, the neck,
the flanks, &c. Not only tbe gen-tleman
and lady who rides out for
pleasure will be benefited by this,
but the coachman, the wagoner,
and all others who use horses du-ring
tbe hot months.
Pruning Tomatoes.
That tomatoes are beuefitted by
pruning we have not the slightest
doubt, ami we yearly practice it in
our own garden. Some recommend
and others practice catting off all
the tops of the plants, to which we
strongly object, as we are satisfied
that each a course is very injurious
to the plants, as well as to the per-fect
ripening of the fruit. An the
tomato begins to grow, select, say
three or four of the strongest shoots,
pinch all the others off.sbonld there
be any, with the finger aud thumb,
close to the main stem. When
these four bunches begin to show
fruit-, a small lateral branch w'll
show itself immediately at tbe uexl
joint. These should all be pinched
off as faatas they appear, letting no
shoots grow at any time but the
four main branches referred to : by
so doing, whether the plants are
tied to stakes or laid on the pound.
we have always fountl that w» se-cured
a larger, finer, and at the
same time a heavier crop than by
any other process obtained.
