A M siting op Fat JIlv.--One .hundred
and forty men met at Gregory's Point Hotel,
rorwaik, Conn., on Thursday, to enjoy a clam
bake. A clam-bake is not a rare event at this
season, but the fact that each of i the assembled
weighed two hundred pounds or over, made this
a rare gathering. Six of the men weighed over
three hand red rounds each. The aggregate
weight of the' six men was 1.922 rounds, and of
the 140 men 31.385 rxmnds. or an average of
224 pound. ! The assembled Talstaffs deposed
ot ttirtjr bushels of oysters, iortj-seveu bushels
ot clams, ctpht barrels of. sweet potatoes, seven
barrels of white potatoes, and three hundred arid
fifty pounds of blue and other fish. . It is grati
fying to know that this was sufficient to satisfy
their appetites

Armed Resistance to Legal Process General
Grant's Orders, r ' - ' '
During the last Presidential campaign Gen
eral Frank- P. Blair, the Democratic candidate
for Vice President, predicted 'that if General
Grant should be elected, he would never quietly
resign the great power of his office after it
stKuId be once placed in his hands but under
??e Pretcnce or another, would make himsejf
I peroiv This prediction General Blair pr
fessed to base upon his intiiiate knowledge of
General Grant's character. ! He. ridiculed the
frequent idea of Grant as a simpleton, and de
clared him to be a man of cunninjr and unlimited
ambition. At the time this prediction of Gerf.
Ulair s was made, it was but little heeded. Few
believed that it had any solid and substantial
foundation ? - : ?
General Grant has recently performed one
public act much more becoming the head
unlimited mnnarrdiv t.an ronnhlin nrosidpnf
He has ad,i retted an ofiicial teler to a civil oM-
cer of the. United Slitter authrtzinn and reouest-

and prepared to resist thej
theservice upon himself
of any process issued by a StateCourt.
The letter to which we refer was addressed by
Jfresident Grant to Jrancis Ci Barlow, the Uni-
tea oiaies xuarsnai.ior this district,' anxl is as
follows h
en. Barlow, United Stated Marshal, Southern
District of New York
x nereoy airect you to mmniain tne laws or
3 United States, and to resist all efforts to take
the united states, and to resist
a
J. II. Pratt from your custody, whether by order
or Judge JlcCunn or j any )ther officer of' the
!State Cjourts. 1 also authorize and request you
to use all means to resist the attempt to effect
your arrest and stop the execution of the laws
or the United fctates. , ! j
U. S. GRANT, President
This
is quite different frorn what it would have
l!
been had it only directed Marshal Barlow to re
tain his prisoner. It directs him to resist his
own arrest, it assumes the power, in time or
peace, to exempt from the jurisdiction of the
i5tate courts a civil officer of the; united States!
If Gen. Grant has this power- if he can ex
empt a man from punishment for one offence, he
cau exempt him trom puuishmcnt lor any other
'offence j If he can exempt a man from punish-
ment ir contempt oi court, ne. can exempt mm
from punishment for murder. I j
At the time this order oi uenerai urants was
lssuea tne prisoner rratt, wnom jwnow was
directed to keep at all hazards, was safely locked
uu iu a lurtui mc uuiicu owiw, wucic aa
wuere ne was

ened s ith arrest for contempt of the j Superior
Court of this State; and it was to guard against
this tht he kept around him for days and as
it now appears by order ofdhe President oue

Corruption and usurpation are apt to go to-
gether
and they are fit associates. Arrer seeing

for presents, it would hardly be surpris-

It is, very seldom that any ! business can be
counted upon as sure to yield a large and con
stant income. 1 There i-are ".'many chances and
casualties in trade and; business which cannot be
foreseen. He is a fortunate man indeed, what
ever his calling, who does not find himself, soon
er or later, going "out of fashion." The new

eecure from the chances which affect his regular
calling. To doj this, he should tax, not his busi
ness means, but his personal vanity, and be con
tent to creep, as the" phrase goes, before he at
tempts to walk;! apd.to walk before he essays to
run. There is many a man who looks back on
the careless expenditure of past years with re
gret, but who might now be assisted by the in
terest of his prosperous acquisitions, il he had
funded instead bf spending his money for tenr-
porary gratification. T
j Working men, while in the prime of their
strengthand manhood, and in the receipt of
liberal wages, might secure themselves not only
against the distant day (of old age, but also
against much of the inconvenience of dull times,
of sickness, or of forced inactivity from any other
cause.-- Whoever will make a firm rule, and
abide by.it, always to live within his income is
on the safe road to competence! if not to wealth.

We tto hot like the Chinese immigration
scheme. Because it is not immigration but
coloniza iorr; because it will thrw. upon us the
refusje population of a semi-barbarous nation ;
because, with few exceptions," the Chinese will
nevef make good citizens,1 for j their interests can
never be identical: with those of our people; be
cause such immigrants would iform a floating
population which would be of injury to the South;
because, i will operate to the injury bf every
working man in the country,! be he white or
blackj :; i - -j .:-:'!: r; i f ..' :
In .fat, the successful accomplishment of the
Chinese imniigration movement! would drive our
laboring men from the field. The first to be in
jured would be the colored race, who would be.
driven from their employment; by the cheaper
laborof the Chinese. Horace of men live on
so little is can the Chinese, j But the1 Chinese
are not content to work, in the jfield, or with only
the rbuf her kind of manual labor. They make
fair mechanics and would soon begin to usurp
the plac ;s of ourf white mechanics. They would
accept c leei fully wages upon which a white man
would starve; The consequence would be that
our mechanics and laborers would be obliged to
succumli to the inroads' of "Cheap John" and
either g Jt some other occupation or starve. 4r
i Wje li ave seen these coolies 1 at work, where
they we; e practically slaves imd can well esti

this cou ltry as free men in any considerable num

project cf bringing to America thousands of these
coolies.;- -J '.:-X j . N- - "
- We are friendly to immigration and will glad
ly weleJue all immigrants who come here of their
own free will to become citizens and to work j for
the good of the adopted country. We will wel
come ihi German, the irishman, the English
man, tht Swissthe Norwegian, the Frenchman,
because ill of them have religious customs and
luterests like our own, and because they make
good anc profitable citizens. But the Chinese
do not come with any definite purpose. They
do not c en coine of their own free will.- They
will tiot e free men after coming here. And
they will injure j. instead' of benefitting the
country. ; j ''.-.. j; Ml!" '., i
This tnovemehtjts a direct, although disguised,
attack upm the laboring men of the South, j If
successful it will make labor disreputable, and
finally unprofitable. It will ieompel the mechan

Experiment with Wheat on Heavy Clay SoiL
This field was! ploughed after Harvest to the
depth off seven inches, the soil being of average
fertility. 'After being ploughed, rotted manure
was scattered over it when it was well harrowed
until the ; surface was. level and smooth. The
wheat was sown by hand at the rate of one
bushel and a peck per acre, and ploughed in with
a small plough to the depth of two inches. At
intefvalt of six feet, furrows five.inches in depth
were dn wn. These furrows leave the beds or
space high and dry, and as the wheat roots do
not extend very deep, it keeps them touching
water w len the ground is full of moisture. The
soil being drained by the furrows, the roots also
keep wi rmer than they otherwise would, and
have a c lance to get more air, and gather food
'and nourishment more readily. The wheat will
staud more freezing in this way than when sown
on flat liurfacesj and when j Spring comes the
ground possesses more warmth and starts the
growth quicker.j 1 ' ; ' 1! i '. " i
The grain thus sown ripened some days earlier
than the other, land produced at least one-fourth
more jpe:, acre of a better quality of wheat.. . It
costs mc re labor to prepare the ground in this
manner, but results pay for all additional trouble
and expense. The beds can be readily thrown
up to t ic width bf a grain drill and the wheat
can be drilled in with fine manure. There are
often! large quantities of valuable manure in the
hen-house, or deposits in the out-houses which
can be composted so a3 to be drilled with the
wheat. If thislcannot be had. barnyard manure
can be ;om posted, by taking it a year before it
is intenc ed tx be used, and mixing with super
phospha cs or guano, and muck'or sods, and turn
ing j over several times during the year, so that
it will decompose. This is the cheapest way to
get valuable manures, and jjto keep up the land
and sect re abundant .crops, j Home-made pou
drette is easily made by emptying the i contents
of the p 'ivy on a bed of lime and charcoal, and
mixing i t with - dry earth or dry leached ashes.
It makes a powerful fertilizer for wheat, arid
pays farmers well for all the trouble And expense
necessary to secure ic. ; j. ne quantity 01
hen
mnnure,
and others of its : kind, that. is allowed
to go to
waste, is enormous.; If farmers were
more intent onjsaving it upi wheat crops would
yield better and the quality would be superior.
In gathering this manure a box of plaster should
always be kepV handy to sprinkle it and fix the

j ' Traces of a Past Civdizatioh ,
T From the Omaha lews. -
i' ; ''1. i 1
. About six weeks ago, Henry) L. Scort, LL.D.,
of Georgetown, Ky , passed thtough Omaha oa
a scientiCo tour. One of his letters to tho JIn
eberter (England) Chronicle jis, perhaps, the
only attempted analyzation and description of
the now celebrated obsidian beds of the middle
and north parts of Colorado.; or the. first time,
on the appearance of that letter, we learned
what
a moss-agate
was:
that it was
simply
piece of glass- made through the fusion of
sand and pyrites by volcanic action. Having
thoroughly explored that section, and having
acquired many ' valuable additions to science.
Professor Scott entered Utah fipr the purpose of
furthering, if possible, the discoveries of Squire
and Davis, in reference to the existence of a
superior race of people on this continent long
before the advent of the present aboriginal in
habitants. The report of tho investigations of
Squire and Davis was' not brought down later
than 1846, and only embraced, the country lying
between the great lakes and "thej Gulf of Mexico.
Professor Scott, like every scholar, accepted as
true the evidence produced by these gentlemen,
but at the same time felt confident in his own
mind that the people who had genius and skill
enough to erect the vast mounds of Newark and
the little Miami, and the elaborate and skillful
defences in and about Kanoku, Illinois, were
certainly competent to find another route to
Mexico and Central America than down the
Valley iof the Mississippi. Acting upon this
impression, he early communicated with Us and .
others in reference to the probable existence of
traces of the march of these people to toe Gulf
of California. Fortunately, we were enabled to
offer htm encouragement, and ion the j24th of
June he left the Union Pacific Bailroad at
Evanston Station, Shelby county, Utah, and
commenced his explorations. Ef anston lies in
the upper valley of Bear River,!at tbfefootof
the northwestern slope of the Unifan Mountains,
and has an elevation of 7,000 fept above tide
water. Having secured the help of eime half '
dozenmen, Professor Scott immediately directed
his course toward the South, I where a bastard
canon starts out from one of thej. Unitan spurs.
Fortunately he had with him ahalf breed who
could converse with the Shoshooecs, who range
all through that section, and, through the inter
preter, be learned from W,api-jon-ta Stag), a
sub-chief of the Shoshouees, tbat about fifteen
miles from Evanston was found; a mound of ex- .
traordinary dimensions. Tho professor imme
diately repaired to the place, ana to his gratifi
cation discovered a tutnulousijof as fair and
positive proportion as any described by Squire
and Davis. He immediately commenced the
work of excavation, and in three days had the
inexpressible pleasure of laying ! bare what was
certainly a vault. He found a cavity about eight
feet long, three wide and four deep. Its bottom,
sides and ends were made of triangular-shaped
stones, evidently quarried from! the red granite
f of the Wahsatch range. There! was no top or
covering to the vault, but frorn the nature and
color of the earth immediately Oyer it, the Pro
fessor thinks that an arch of turnt clay had
been used. With the exception of some unim
portant pieces of obsidian, eviden ly having been
used for lapidary's 'purposes, jProfessor Scott
brought awny everything foufiil in tho vault.
But one skeleton was found, which, on exposure,
i 111 mediately crumbled into dustj; it appealed to
indicate that of a man not! over five feet ten
inches. The bones lay cast and west the skull. 1
east. At the foot, and apparently between the '
feet, was found an crdinarySshaped earthen pot,
with a capacity perhaps of a half a gallon, cone
shaped, and without any mark r engraving on
it. Along the left side lay an iron bracelet with "
a spring clasp, perfectly preserved. On each
side of the stone were two medicine stones
shaped like a cigar, and full of holes, and of half
a pound weight. The stones were very similar
to Tennessee marble or Scotch granite. On tho
right side of the skeleton the Professor found a
silver plate, about the size and exactly the shape
of an artist's pallet. No mark xjrhatcver was dis
tinguishable on this piece, but it is of tho purest
silver. It may have been used as 'shield,
though the Professor inclines, to the belief that
it was a "charm," and the skeleton was thnt of
some medicine man or priest. The value to.
science of this discovery of Professor Scott, we
are glad to say, docs not consist in the supposed
antiquity of the articles exhumed. Other and ,
more positive evidence corroborates his impres
sion that the vault he laid bare is of more than
1,500 years existence. This excavation, to be
speedily followed by others unjler the direction
of the Smithsonian Institute, tc feel confident
will establish the fact that the mound builders
crossed the Missouri River, aud, passing over .
the plains of the great West, found a portion
of them their way to Central America via tho
Gulf of California. Professor Scott left for his
home in Kentucky, and we shall, anxiously look
for his report of these discoveries.
