DEFENSE OF GE>*. M. C BUTLER. Extract from a Speech by Judge T. J. Mackcy, at Chester. I cannot, however, concur with the speaker who has addressed you (A. S. Wallace) in denouncing General AT. C. Butler as the author or in any degree the promoter of that great crime. I have considered all the evidence thus far dis? closed upon the subject; I have con? versed with Republicans, of both races, who were in or near Hamburg at the time of the massacre, and while they all believed that Gen. Butler was one of the guilty parties to that deed of blood, such ? belief or conclusion on their part is not supported by any testimony which would not be instantly consumed to ashes under the rays of a judicial test It became my duty on the 18th day of January, 1875, to proceed to Edgefield, beyond the limits of my own circuit, to interpose my authority, by request of his Excellency "the Governor to restore order, and to avert an armed collision between the two races, then deemed imminent in that long disturbed section. The imme? diate occasion of the disturbance then was the burning of the dwelling house of Gen. M. C. Butler, on the night of the 16th of that month, and the subsequent alleged shootiugand wounding by a force under his command of.severa) colored persons, whom he had charged with the i crime. I issued my warrant, and aft t diligent effort I arrested NedTenuunt. the captain of a colored militia company, together with several members of his company, who were charged with the crime of arson as stated. Immediately thereafter, upon the affidavit of Tennant, I issued a warrant for the arrest of Gen. M. C. Butler, and some ten or twelve other white citizens, charged with assault and battery with intent to kill in mali? ciously and unlawfully firing upon and wounding two persons (colored) named in the said affidavit. The warrant was executed by -a one-armed deputy sheriff, & and General Butler and his co-defendants yielded instant obedience to the process, riding some fifteen or sixteen miles through as heavy a rain storm as' I ever witnessed, that they .might promptly an? swer the charge against them, at the bar of my court General Butler and his co defendants were discharged pursuant to law, after a full investigation in the open court The fact was established by over? whelming proofs, through the testimony of both white and colored witnesses, that Tennant had assembled his compauy i under arms to resist the arrest of himself and others of his company, a warrant having been issued for their apprehen? sion by the colored Trial Justice of the vicinage, wherein they were charged with arson. He did resist arrest, driving back the constable to whom bad been entrus. ted the execution of the warrant. To overcome that resistance to the due pro? cess of the law, the Trial Justice sum? moned General Butler and other respon? sible white citizens to act as a hwrfalposK in effecting the arrest of men who stood openly in armed defiance of the laws. The Trial Justice and his constable again proceeded to the spot where Ten? nant had unlawfully assembled his com? mand, and they were driven back at the muzzles of leveled rifles. Gen. Butler, by the authority of the Trial Justice there present, then advanced with the posse to use the necessary force to over? come the resistance offered to a lawful warrant As soon as the posse got within range they were fired on by the militia force, numbering about thirty men. The posse returned the fire and wounded two of the militia, all of whom then fled. I have given you the facts in the premises, ascertained by a thorough and impartial judicial investigation, and vet General Butler was as positively and bitterly ac? cused of crime in that affair as he is here to-day in connection with the Hamburg butchery. But I have a further purpose in reciting the facts of the Edgefield dis? turbance of 1875. During that investigation I was in? formed of the fact that an armed "force of whites was marching upon the county seat for the purpose of lynching Tennant, then in Edgefield jail; under my commit? ment, pending an examination. By my request, but chiefly through the influence of General Butler, the Edgefield IVtie j Club, composed of white Democrats, as sembled under arms, and with loaded rifles stood prepared throughout the night to defend that meet obnoxious ririsoner at all hazards against iawless violence. I deemed the testimony against Ten? ant and others sufficient to warrant their being held to bail to answer the charge of arson. The proof was clear that Gen. Butler's house was fired by an incendiary. It was not insured, and he lost with it the garnered savings of many years. Ho had left, on a brief journey, the home which sheltered his wife and children, and when he returned "the blackness of ashes marked where it stood." In the prisoner, Tennant who looked through the bars of the jail, General Butler be? lieved that he saw the man who had ap? plied the torch to his dwelling, and had sent his wife and little ones shrieking from its blazing roof into the sleet and frost of a January midnight! Yet he interposed to protect the prisoner who had thus most ruthlessly wronged him, and remitted vengeance to the law, acting through its duly constituted tribunals. Is it probable that the man who so acted under such a provocation could have borne a part in the Hamburg butchery, unprovoked ac he was either by injury or insult? In view of Gen. Butler's past record, I will not believe, until the charge is estab? lished by the verdict of an-impartial jury, rendered at the bar of a court of justice, that he has stooped his lofty crest to draggle its hitherto stainless plume in the blood of unarmed and unresisting Srisoners. "Strike, but hear me!" is a emand as just today as when first ut? tered by a noble Greek more than 2,000 years ago, and I but ask that Gen. Butler shall not be condemned before he is heard. A Pair of Wits.?Chesterfield and Voltaire, born in the same year (1694,) were warm and life-long friends. What? ever may have been the erratic French? man's vagaries and nifFs, for he never had a friend whom he did not at some time abuse, Lord Chesterfield was too much of a gentleman to take offense, or even notice. On a certain occasion the two friends were in company at a grand ball in Paris, given by the King's favorite. Chester? field stood by a marble pillar, gazing up? on the brilliant assemblage of ladies, when Voltaire accosted him: "My Lord, you should be a judge in such matters. Now, seriously, do you not think our French ladies the most beautiful you ever saw?" "Upon my word," replied Chesterfield with a nod aud a smile, "lam not a judge of paintings." Not long afterwards Voltaire crossed over to England and was present one evening at a party given b) an English nobleman in London. A lady in the! company, sparkling in jewels and high!; rouged, was particularly attentive to th? noted Frenchman, engrossing :nu>:'a ufj his discourse. Chesterfield, observing, ? came up and tapped Iiis friend on the shoulder. "Be wary, monsieur, or you will be captivated." "No fear, my Lord," quickly retorted Voltaire. "I am not to be captured by an English craft sailing under French colors." ? A person who was sent to prison for marrying two wives, excused himself by saying that when he had one she fought him, But when he got two they fought one another. Pruning Fruit Trees. When is the best time to prone fruit trees? This is a question very often asked, and the answer often is, "prune when the knife and saw are sharp." We would answer, never prune unless the tools are sharp, and never use the saw unless to renovate an old orchard; the time for pruning depending upon the object we wish to accomplish. Pruning may be done for three purpo ses: first, and the most important, to give the tree a good form; second, to increase growth; and third, to increase fruitful uess. Take the young tree from the nursery where it has been drawn up by close planting, so that the branches are .several feet from the ground. With trees well grown we have several branches starting from nearly the same height. Now, at transplanting, we should remove a por? tion of the buds to restore a balance be? tween the ton and mutilated roots. Much can be done at this time to give the tree a good form, by cutting out those I branches which, if allowed to grow, I would give the tree an imperfect shape. I This must be followed up with pinching out the terminal bud of those shoots that tend to outgrow their neighbors to the injury of rhe symmetry of the tree. With proper care at planting, and the free use of tiie thumb and forefinger du ring the growing season, very little use for tlx? saw will be found. Had this be<m the treatment of most of our large orchards, they might now be in a healthy condition ami giving large crops ?f fruit. ? doubtful if we can improve ttpo! azure's method in this matter. A tre.;, growing out in the open field, fully exposed to the sunlight and air, naturally takes a fine form, and if in good soil, grows vigorously, and bears abundantly. Most of our orchards are planted too close, in the first place; then, to let in the sunlight and air, large branches are cut out from the centre, and the wounds made left exposed, decay in a few years. The practice of cutting out the central branches to let in the light is all wrong. Branches grow best in the centre of the tree, because here they find the most con? genial shelter from the sun's rays. Cut away the branches with their foliage which shelter these shoots, and they cease to grow, and the long, bare branch? es exposed to the scorching sun during summer, and continued freezing and thawing in winter, become much injured. If the time now expended in the annual pruning were devoted to the care and cultivation of the soil, our orchards would be more healthy and productive. Pruning done while the trees are in a dormant state has the tendency to in? crease growth. Trees often make a stun? ted growth from the improper manner of planting, from allowing grass to grow about their roots, or from over bearing. Now, if one-half the buds be removed, those remaining will be better supplied! with plant food from the roots which re? main perfect, new roots formed from the new wood and vigor imparted to the tree. If cutting must be doue, let it be at the - ends of the branches rather than from the centre of the tree. What mat? ters it if .a few branches do cross one an? other and even rub together? They will not be injured, and the end shoots will certainly take their proper place in giv? ing good form to the tree, v Pruning may also be done to produce fruitfulness by checking the growth of j the tree. Trees are sometimes planted in very rich soil where they grow vigorously but bear no fruit It is one of the laws of plant growth, that anything which injures the plant or checks its growth will cause it to make an effort to perpetuate its kind by the production of seed. Now, if a portion of the foliage be removed, the perfect development of all parte of the plant depending upon the foliage, its growth will be checked and fruitfulness be pro? duced. But while there may be some instances where the soil is so rich as to cause the tree Xo run to wood and pro? duce no fruit, there arc many more where some element of the food required for the fruit is not found in the soil, and summer pruning would do no good. The better way would be to check the growth by croppiug the land and adding potash or pho?phoric acid. Boot pruning would als? check riic overproduction of wood. Then wo would say in closing, prune ? lit i Lta trees are young, use the knife, c! i?ger, only to give the trees ;:. . rm; und devote the time usually giv.to this work to the cultivation of | the soil. If we must cut away large branches, let it be done late in the winter or very early in the spring, as the wounds heal over more readily at this season than any other. All wounds must be covered with shellac, wax or common paint. Use the saw, if necessary, to renovate old orchards, but depend large? ly upon the cultivation and improvement of the soil for increased growth and fruit? fulness.?Prof. Maynard, in Scientic Far? mer. Tilden and Hendkicks Flag Dis? tasteful to Judge Mackey.?A few of the Democratic citizens of Lancaster raised a Tilden and Hendricks flag on the top of the Court House, on Monday, 31st ultimo, but objection being made by Judge Mackey, on account of its being a a public building, it was taken down. The following order, made by Judge Mackey, explains itself: Whereas, it is esteemed unseemly and improper that any flag or banner of any political party whatsoever should be raised upon the Court House?a building dedicated to the administration of public justice: It is therefore ordered, That the Clerk of the Court be, and he is hereby, in? structed to prevent, so far as lies in his power, the hoisting of any flag, or the erection of any flagstaff, upou or above the Court House. It is further ordered, That should any flag be raised upon the Court House, the sheriff shall forthwith remove the same ; and that it shall be the duty of the sheriff j to prevent the raising of any flag what? soever upon the said building; and he is hereby authorized and empowered to use the necessary force, pursuant to law, in the due execution of this order.

Don't Overtask the Young Brain. ?The minds of children ought to be little, if at all, until the brain develop? ment is nearly complete, or until the age of six or seven years. And will those years be waited ? or will the future man be more likely to be deficient in mental Sower and capability than one who is ifferently treated? Those years will not be wasted. The great book "of nature is open to the infant, and the child's prying investigation; and from nature's pages may be learned more useful information than is contained in all the children's books that, have ever been published. But even supposing those years to have been absolutely lost, which is anything but the case, will the child be eventually the loser thereby? We contend with our :;uthor. that he will not Task the mind during the earlier years, and you >,..; -.^v crrome the child to a greater risk - 1 ?? ? ??-.1 brain?not only, it may ?' foundation for a morbid ex . .. ..i-.iin, that may one day end in ii :i.'y?but you debilitate its bodily > . . - and by so doing, to all intents arnt ;?urposes the mind will eventually be a loser in its powers and capabilities. Look to Your Health.?Pay but half the attention to the condition of | your lungs that you do to the condition of your purse, and you will not only pro? long your own life, but your children will inherit that from you over which there will be no wrangling, no strife, no false swearing; a treasure divided by nature's own hand, in which your sons and your daughters, the eldest and the youngost "shall share and. share alike." Scared to Death by a Good Sign. ?A young lady in Reading, Pennsyl? vania, has just died, most injudiciously and indiscreetly, of fright, caused by misunderstanding a natural phenomenon of the most consolatory character. She had her photograph taken and showed the picture to her mother, who examined it, and then said: "Why, this picture has a death's head on it." She pointed to the tie worn about the lady's throat, and what looked like a sku.'l was dis? tinctly seen on the picture, and it ex? cited some curiosity. No attention was paid to this, and a few days afterward one of her photographs was looked at again, and to their great astonishment they discovered that the figure, or what greatly resembled it, of another skull had appeared just above it. This was also pointed out to the young lady, and she became deathly pale, and took to her bed. She slowly sank, and in two months after she had the pictures taken she was a corpse. Obviously these two skulls meant that the young lady would have two husbands, and survive them both. Instead of which she -allowed her inexperienced mother to frighten her to death. The education of young women in this country is not what it should be. A Complaisant Jury.?An eminent judge went on the Welsh Circuit, and did not know the Welsh language. A man accused of stealing a horse was defended by a well-known Welsh lawyer, and the case seemed hopeless for the prisoner. The wily advocate requested permission of the judge to address the jury, them? selves Welshmen in their native tongue, and the request was granted. The advo? cate, who admitted to the jury that there Was hardly the shadow of a defense for his client, assured them that the judge, who was the kindest-hearted person in the world, and hated to convict any one, would be only too delighted if the jury would by any means find it possible to acquit him. Upon this the jury, full of desire to please his lordship, announced, with beaming countenances, to the utter surprise of the judge, that they found the prisoner "not guilty;" In vain the judge attempted to expostulate. The jury, de? lighted at the pleasure they had afforded has lordship, would not listen to a word, and the prisoner was acquitted. Home-made Cream Candy.?To a coffee-cupful of white sugar add two ta? blespoons ful of water to dissolve }it and boil, without stirring, in a bright tin pan until it will crisp in water like molasses candy. Just before it is done put in a teaspoonful of extract of vanilla, or lemon or peppermint essence, and a quarter of a teaspoonful of cream of tarter. When done, pour out into a buttered pan, and when cool enough to handle, work it as you would molasses candy uutil it is per? fectly white, then stretch and lay on a marble slab or molding-board; with a chopping knife cut into mouthsful and lay it on buttered paper ou a plate.? When children want candy, by all means let them have that made at home, and they will not eat plaster of paris, chalk, starch and poisonous compounds which derange their stomach and ruin their teeth. All Sorts of Paragraphs. ? Never throw clouds of sorrow into the life of one you really love. ? The person who would rob a parent of the love of a child will surely die in sorrow. ? Charles Lamb, when speaking of one of his rides on horseback, remarked that "All at once his horse stopped, but he kept right on." - ? "Have you much fish in your bag?" asked a person of a fisherman. "Yes, there's a good eel in it," was the rather slippery reply. ? Henry Watterson poetically says that ice is water "gone to sleep." It has every opportunity of going to sleep while Henry Watterson is around. ? Mrs. Carr of Quebec, hanged her? self with her false hair last week. The coroner's verdict was that the Carr was demolished by a misplaced "switch." ? "You are a nuisance?I'll commit you," said an offended judge to a noisy person in court. "You have no right to commit a nuisance," said the offender. ? "Mrs. Sninks," observed a1 boarder to his landlady, "the equal adjustment of this establishment might be more safely secured if there was less hair in the hash and more in the matresses." ? If you cannot be a great river, bear? ing great vessels of blessings to the world, you can be a little spring by the dusty wayside of life, singing merrily all day and night, and giving a cup of cold water to every weary, thirsty one who passes by. ? "Did she not return your love ?" in? quired a sympathizing friend of a young man who intimated that he had had some difficulty with his sweetheart.? "Yes, she returned it, and that is exactly what the trouble is. She said she didn't want it." ? Sulphate of iron, five grains; pep? permint water,'eleven drachms; spirit of nutmeg, one drachm; one table spoonful taken twice a day is a cure for intempe? rance. This preparation acts as a stimu? lant and tonic, and supplies the place of the accustomed liquor. ? A young clergyman, modest almost to bashfulness, was once asked by a coun? try doctor of a different creed, in a pub? lic and crowded assembly, and in a tone of voice sufficient to catch the attention of the entire company, "How happened it that the patriarchs lived to such ex? treme old age?" To which question the clergyman replied, "Perhaps they took no physic." ? An Eastern paper having had con? siderable to say about -"raising chickens by hand," the Galveston News responds: "Such information is not needed at the South. The whole colored population know how to do it, and an euterprising freedman can raise more pullets in a sin? gle night, on his way home from prayer meeting, than that Eastern editor could raise in a year with all his science." ? Foolish spending is the father of poverty. Do not be ashamed to work. Work fpr the best wages you can get, but work for half price rather than be idle. Be your own master, and do not let fash ion or society swallow up your individu? ality?hat, coat and boots. Compel your selfish body to spare something for profits saved. Be stingy to your necessities. See that you are proud, and let your pride be of the right kind. Be too proud to be lazy. ? The business of ostrich raising for the sake of the feathers ha? reached con? siderable proportions in South Africa. There are now 20,000 of these birds kept on the ostrich farms at the Cape of Good i Hope. On compariug the average tem? perature of Southern California and Southern Africa, no difference is found, while there is but very little difference between the extremes of temperature of $he two places. As the feathers are worth $400 a pound, and each bird pro? duces $250 worth every year, some or the enterprising Californians are suggesting the introduction of the business of rais? ing ostriches into the southern portion of their State. ? "I give and beoueath unto Mary, my wife, the sum o' one hunder' pounds a year," said an old farmer. "Is that written down, master?" "Yes" replied the lawyer, "but she is not old; she may marry again. Won't you make a change in that case ? Most people do." "Ay, do they ?" said the farmer. "Well, write again: I give and bequeath unto her the sum of two hunder' pounds a 'year.? That'll do/won't it, master ?" "Why, it's just double the sum she would have if sho remaimed unmarried," said the lawyer; "it'e generally the other way?the legacy is lessened if the widow marries again." "Ay," said the farmer, "but him as gets her^ll deserve it." NEW GOODS! CHEAP GOODS!
