A Warning to Despots.
One of the most eigniflennt warnings
to those Congressional despots who
expect that the people must enduro
their efforts to muzzle the press, is the
ease of Hon. Luke P. Poland, of Ver
mont, author of the infamous "press
gag law," which authorizes govern
ment officials to arrest for libel and
bring to trial before a Washington
jury any editor or correspondent who
may publish anything derogatory to
those high and mighty dignitaries.
Only two years ago Judge Poland's
majority for Congress In the Second
District was 0,695 over u Democrat
and a bolting Republican, his total
vote being 11,070. This year the
was as follows : Poland, 5,749 ; D. C.
Denison, bolting Republican, 7,099 ;
Davenport, Democrat, 8,022 ; scatter
ing (chiefly for Head, Granger candi
date), 981. Denison's plurality, 1,350 ;
Densson's failure of a majority, 1,004.
Judge Poland's total vote is but a trifle
over half what he received two years
ago. Inasmuch as it requires a pruai
ity over all othor candidates combined
to elect him in Vermont, Denison is
not elected, and the case will be deci
ded by the Legislature, who will possi
bly re-elect Poland. Whether re-elec
ted by that body or not, however, ho
has received un intimation that all
such would-be Congressional despots
would do well to remember, that
America is not Austria, and that the
people expect the press to tell the truth
about thieves and expose rascality
wherever found, even when the cu'
prits happen to bo Congressmen, or
even occupants of tho White House.—

SYRACUSE —THE SALT
FIEL D8—HOW SALT IS MALU
FACTURED—A SALTY
DISCOURSE.
Prom the Gazette's Traveling Correspondent.
Syracuse, N. Y., Sept. 5, 1874.
On leaving Little Falls, after a very
pleasant stay,we wended our way from
the Mohawk'« gentle vale to the spot
where the Indians wont to congregate
to drink the good medicine water of
Onondaga aud to secure suit with
which to relish their Catskill and
Adriondack deer.
Stopping at Syracuse, a city of 4:1,000
souls, and being reminded that a friend
recommended us while here to break
fast on bullfrogs, and then go to see
the great salt fields, we proceeded forth
with in search of a mess of those
Downed bullfrogs, but the only
we could find was saucily playing un
der the drippings of the city t
tain.
The proprietor of every eating saloon
we entered could tell us that bullfrogs
are scarce, and then he would make
our mouth water by telling us how
lucious those hindquarters
The inhabitants of cow marsh and
all other marshes, necks and creeks of
Delaware must not think the bullfrogs
we speuk of are the ordinary bullfrogs
of their locality, but they are bullfrogs
A No. 1, and we will tell all about
them when we are so fortunate ns to
feast on them.
Having searched in vain, we pro
ceeded to the «alt fields. Reaching
the outskirts of the city we saw in the
distance what seemed to bean immense
brick yard, from the immense quantity
of sheds and white soil. As far as the
eye could reach there were sheds thick
upon the fields, and hundreds of large,
L, » 1,ritk chimn <-'ys loomed up iu.the
distance. Now drawing near aud upon
an eminence the fields grow longer
wider. It is an extraordinary
H ight. It looks like business to see so
much smoke rollingfromtho.se hlin
dreds of chimneys. On approaching
w « fln«l 'hat 'his whiteness is salt ooz
'j! e , 0Ut ° f the £[ ound - ai,d tl,at tllese
?■ <ls arc movable covers for evupora
V . U,l(l l " e chimneys arc conuec
tc( * an engine which pumps the
Ha ^ water from wells 5100 feet deep, and
forces it up into immense tanks. One
engine pumps front some half dozen
wells within a few vards distant, all
of which vary from 40 to 80 per cent.
nf mh Kveryjfarmer knows that brine
.'lun" 8 'T*'?,'* "'ll 1 1 T'* r , ,l "
a i U " aterjftom the best wells is
P ,ont >' Ktron £ enough to stand the egg
.
This water contains also iron and lime
which is gotten out by a settling process,
. Thu water is drawn from thoso tanks
m H* 0 pump-houses into evaporating vats
whore it stands till tho iron has settled,
ant * then it is druwn out into another set
°* vats whore the limo sotties, and as soon
a * it roaches 1UU degrees, wheli salt be
to form on tho top, it is drown off in
fo a third sot of vats where it cryatalizes
into fine wliite salt. Tho salt is then
shoveled up and conveyed in carts to the
drying and packing house wheroit issived
separating the common coarse salt from
the coarse salt, and is then allowed to lay
fourteen days when it is packed in barrels
or sacks, for market. Thobrinestands in
these vats ubout 4 or 5 inches duep where
it is constantly giving up tho water in
evaporation leaving behind tho sait, and
by a law in chemistry
water lias gone the salt resumes its nat
ural cristalized statu.
In 7 or 8 days after tho water leaves the
wells the salt is in the drying house. All
tho well together give 270,000,000 gallons
yearly making 0,00n,000 bushels of sal!.
Tims a barrel of salt is obtained from 90
gallons of water.
To obtain first class table-salt the cry
stals are taken from tho drying house and
being nicely washed aud dried
ground.
There is another process of obtaining
the salt, that is. by boiling. The above
described modus operandi is called the sol
ar system. In this latter process tho wa
ter is drawn directly from tho tanks in
tho pump houses into large kettles, hold
ing 120 gaulions cacb, inserted in rows to
over long furnaces, whore tho iron and
lime is separated by the addition of Soft
soap. All Delawareans know
article is and that it is a fine purifier. At
any rate, as blood is used to refine sugar,
this soap is used to refine salt. After u
few hours boiling water all disappears
and the salt crystalizes into fine salt, but
of an inferior class to the ground salt.
What amount of this soaped suit is used
by my readers, I do not oresume to say,
but there is by far more nne salt made in
this way than by grinding.
When we asked the workmen if they
were not afraid of dirtying the sale when
they got into it with their big, foiled hoots
with n toe peeping out occasioaly, they ro
plied, "Weil, be jabers, we're gotCto eat u
peck of dirt anyhow."
Oa calculation we find that lb* evaporat
ing surface of these vats is 600 acres. There
sheds are set upon rolers that they may be
placed over the vat* during rainy weuiher,
and taken off in clear weather to allow tho
to have full force lu evaporation. In
borelng in different places in this State it is
learned that this belt of salt springs, tun
from West to Fast, passing right ou the
West side of the Onondaga Lake, where the
wells we have spoken of, are such, in some
places, within a few huudred leet of it, is u
fresh water lake. It is supposed that these
springs run through the great rock salt fields

The Object of the Ku-ktux Cry.
The alacrity with which Grant and
Williams have availed themselves of
a few affrays between whites and
blacks of the lower classes atthe South
to raise theory of Ku Klux, and put
into renewed operation the machinery
of the Enforcement nets, goes far to
establish the truth of the theory that
these disturbances have been fomented
by Radical agents for political effect.
The disposition of the troops under
the udviee and direction of Williams
shows conclusively that their mission
is not to protect the negroes from viol
ence, but rutlier to protect their lenders
in tlio commission of election frauds

Alabama, presumably to Sumter

An epidemic of brutality has been rag

custom of those men to wear very heavy
boots, armed with iron toes, and with
these terriblo weapons they fight, or

of an old man, kicked out one of hiu

the bleeding socket. Scarcely a day
