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?

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

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."
