Appropriations hare made up their esti-

CURIOUS INTERPRETATIONS.

coming to onr people—a feeling of diA
passionate justice. Lex.
We know of a gentleman who said he
would vote against Mr. Hcllhenny be
cause Calhoun was his friend, and this on
account of the article our correspondent
refers to. We remember a fable of JSaop
that tells how a wolf and a lamb met by a
stream to drink. The Barrent Sowed to
ward the lamb, but the wolf aoeused him
of muddying the water. The Iamb
pointed out the impossibility of this,
when the wolf charged the lamb with hav
log urged the bounds after him six months
before. The lamb vowed he was not born
then. The wolf shouted, “It fpjn
dam or your sire, then I ” Ho he 'spr*
on the lamb and tore him to pieces.
The moral drawn ia that if yok want to
quarrel with a man and place yourself
with his foes, yon can easily git a pre
text.
Mr. Hcllhenny and we are two aepsrafe
and distinot men, and great as ia our
gsrd for him, our interest in this
city is infinitely greater, and
through the winter, we felt that his eon-7 *

Politicians are speculating on the
prospect of s lively fight In Congress,
this winter, between Butler and Hoar, of
tbo House, over the Civil Rights bill.
They aay that But'er will eootend for
amendments striking out the provisions
requiring mixed schools and mixed buri
als in the cemeteries, and will probably
be unstained by General Grant; while
Hoar will demand the passage of the bill
just as Sumner committed it to hishands.
The bill it the first thing in the calendar
of the House of Representatives.
It ts becoming quite a common thing
for Federal Judges and other officials to
resign in order to escape impeachment;
and the readiness with wbiob their resig
nations are accepted when tendered under
suob circumstances ia a crying evil. Last
year a United Stales District Judge in Ar-
kausss was permitted to resign, with
charges pending against him that demand
ed his impeachment. A mouth or two
ago Judge liusteed, of Alabama, with ar
ticles of impeachment pending against
him, and immediately after conduct that
necessitated the preferring of new oharges
of a serious character, was also permitted
to resign. And now we hear that Durell,
of Louisiana, also under impeachment,
has resigned. No doubt his resignation
will also be aocepted. A Fedeial Judge
is encouraged by these examples to out
rage law; justice, and deeenoy to any ex
tent, knowing that the only penalty re
quired will be bis resignation. What a
fall from the standard of judicial purity
and integrity that was reoenily the boast
of our oountry!
Flobida.—Amounts already published
by us have shown how the Radical offi-
rials in two or three counties of Middle
Florida manege J to oonut in members of
the Legislature whom the people rejected,
and thns Secure a small majority iu that
body. They are now greatly alarmed at
the prospect of losing the prise they were
struggling for—the United States Hen
atorehip—after all their trioky proceed
ings. They say that Governor Stearns
has efacted a sort,of “combination' 1
with the Democrats, by whioh an oppo.
nent of Gen. Grant's administration will
be elected to the Senate. The Wash'
ington Republican refers to this
as an “ugly rumor,” and de
nounces the reported design of Htearus
as “despioable treason." It says that
"Democratic sucoessos mint have some
what demoralized him, snd he is either
frightened at the prospect, or has delib.
erately planned the betrayal of his party.”
We know nothing about this matter ex- (
cept what we flud in Radical papers. But
it sums to ua that the proceedings by
which the Radicals of Florida have ob
tained a majority iu the Legislature ought
to “demoralize" any man among them
who prises honesty and law, and that all
such men ought to refuse to participate in
the conspiracy for stealing a Senatorial
seat in that way.

however, that those who array themselves
against our friend because they hate us,
would vote against him under any oireutn-
atauoes. Let the objector read the arti
cle, word for word, and while he may
think it very candid, he must not Imagine
it applies to any but a small class of tj>e
people.
Our oourse sinoe we came to Columbus
has been unflinchingly in the interest of
the South, and no man has paid more
earnest tributes than have we to Hpulllern
manhood and womanhood. And It is our
appreciation of these people that leads us
to oppose as wrong the types selected to
represent us. While we must ever de
nounce the suicidal expressions of the
negro who clsimed to utter the senti
ments of Mr. Wilkins, we stand ready
yield all praise to the great
and overwhelming majority of South
ern people, who have so heroioally
striven to remedy the poverty and the
ruin of the war. Do we not daily ory.fyr
more ospital, and more skilled labor?
Are they nut essential to our rapid devel
opment ? Then, why should we nyt raise
our voiee and rebuke as non-Bouthnrn the
sentiments so calculated to Injure us, not
only materially, but because they are not
an index lo the feelings or character of
our people? Depend upon it, the mab
who strikes Mr. Mellbenny over our
shoulder, would do it iu any event, and
this ia but the pretext.
The oourse we have adopted in this
journal we can never ohange, and ’that we
measure the people rightly, let the success
of the Enquirer testify. “We haves sublime
faith in the people of the South and the
future of this country; bnt it is tq.ha

by exeroiaing a broad charity and eXterid-

who come to make this their home. Co

Iu conclusion we can only say the article

trsdnoers, and they number in this city
of tan thousand inhabitants, just thirty,

is the ease. We think it would be infa

mi Which IwialMto bring ia money.
It bsppenaa that the seasons were not
favorable to a good ootton crop in bis im
mediate locality, aad his crop was short,
buy they never had a better season for
corn. This farmer, by. his exclusive de
votion to cot ton (which he deemed a ne
cessity imposed by his indebtedness)
failed to avail himself of Providential
favors, and struggle unavailingly against
adverse seasons. The efipwieuce of him-

them that by diversifying tge|r crops they
mly almost any year- make a lucky bit
with some important produot, instead of
lpting everything, as our unlucky friend
did, by depending on ootton alone.
To the Grange organization is due, in
large ^ait, tbs beginning that has been
made fa the economy ot planting less cot
ton and more food-produoing crops. That
intelligent organization cannot fail to see
the good effect of tbepolioy^thongh com
menced on a small soale. If it could
gather up and make publio some data by
whioh an estimate oould be formed of the
extent of the reduction of tbo cotton crop

Mr. Moore: To repeal the act giving the
aid of the State in expediting the pon-
■tmetfon ef railixada; aloe, to tiz the rate
of taxation on real odd pemonal properly
—both refaired. The Senate took up the
special order—the bill to prevent the sale
of agricultural plpdooie between sunset
and sunrise —amended and passed it to
its third reading. (It punishes such sales
of cotton, corn, wheat, oats, potatoes or
pees,*hy fine not exceeding fffiou, or im
prisonment.) The seoond special order—
the bill to repeal tbe “recognizance” law
of the last Legislature—passed its third
reading and goes to tbe House.
' The following were among tbe bills in
troduced in the House on the call of the
couqties, and all referred unless other
wise stated: Mr. Price, to amend section
3,706 of tbe Code, so as to make the steal,
ing of any domestic animal, or any out
standing dropoi ebro Air cotton, to tbe
value ot *}». grand larceny; Mr. Burnett,
to amend section 3,743 of the Code, so aa
to punish careless and wilful setting of
woods on fire; also, to amend section 3,-
610, so ss to make better provision for tbe
punishment of persons receiving stolen
property ; Mr. Barnett, to amend section
3,6A3, so as more effectually to punish the
carrying of ooncealed weapons, except in
asses of apprehended attack, or setting
out on a journey ; also, to amend the elec

registration. Mr. Mitcholl introduced a
bill to regulate the eleotion of municipal
officers in Montgomery—ordered to n
second reading. The House took up the
report seating tbs Democratic members
eleot from Barbour county, and it was de
bated to tbe hour of adjournment.
PERSEVEREI
The farmers of tbe Booth, east of the
Mississippi river, initiated a beneficial
reform in their plantation economy this
year, by*de voting more labor and atten
tien to food crops. True, they only made
a beginning, preparatory to further steps
in the same direction if tbey should find
the experiment beuitteial. The object of
this article is to urge a ooutinuenoe of
the experiment for another year. Every
planter may not diatiaotly see wherein be
has been benefitted. But when we red Set
that, in spite of the slight diminution of
the ootton crop effected in this way, the
crop of tbe oountry is'still too large for it
to command a good price, we can form
an idea of the depression that would have
followed had half a million bales more
been added, which would probably have
been done but for the larger area devoted
this yaar to grain crops. A half million
bales mors would probahly have sunk the
prioe of ootton to a figure barely payiug
the expense of production. The late de
cline in price is attributable mainly to
large receipts, and nothing ia plainer than
that future prioee depend mainly upon
receipts indicating a crop above or below
the general estimates.
Planters may also, in many individual
rases, form a correct conclusion an to
whether they have been benefited by
plant iug more grain snd leas eottoa this
year, by contiaating their years' opera<
tiona with those of some neighbor who
adhered to the nearly all cotton rcutiac.
Tbe other day we were conversing with a
planter of Russell county, Alabama, about
bis yeans' operations. He farms on a
small scale, working only two mules He
complained that he had brought ia his
last bale of cotton, except one pledged to
tbe payment of rent, and that he bad not
bantu able to settle in full either his gro-
oery or dry goods account in Columbus
He had divided between them, leaving
still seventy or eighty dollars unpaid.
This seemed a very bad showing ia i'self,
but when the unfortnuate farmer added

A New Enterprise.
The question has been sprung of dig
ging s timber csnsl from some point on
the Altatuehs between Dootortowa and
Fort Barrington, to the headwaters of tbo
Hapelo river. The route, ts repreeeatad
to us by responsible parties, well
acquainted with the geography of the
country, is short snd practicable. Th*
diBtanoe iu a direct line ia not over right
miles, but in order to take advantage of
the Mortar swamp, it would be increased
to twelve or thirteen. Through (be swamp
the work would b* trifling, Consisting
only in cutting ont th* obennel, and ooat-
ing not moro than a hundred dollar* per
mile. Th* remainder of (he route
would be through a flat swampy oonntry,
that is covered with water in a
wet season. There the oort would be two
or three times more. A company with t
cspitsl of two or ‘three thousaqd dollars
could carry the project through. Iudeed
ws have heard of s gentleman who pro
poses to conduot the eansl with bis own
resources, rather then that it should fall.
Tha advantages can be bristly summed
up. The mouth of Hapelo affords the
best, harbor south of tbe Potomac. Iu
fact large vessels engaged in this earryin):
