Wn learn from the Washington Repub
lican that the caucus of Radical Senators,
held on Monday, did not come to any
agreement on Louisiana affairs. The
point of disagreement appears to have
been the recognition of Pinohback as

next caucus will deolare that the Kellogg
government is entitled to recognition, but
will not recognise Pinchbsok'a claim.
That will ba drawing it flue for a party

Thu Selma Argiu slates that there are
51 prisoners in the jail of Dallas county,
Ala., all of whom are negroes. As Dallas
county has a negro population four times
as large as tho white population, and
gives a Itadioal majority of five thousand
votes in elections, and ns every judicial
or executive officer in the county is a
Radical, it eanuot be olaimed that the
jail ia full of negroes because of discrim
ination agaiust them in the execution of
tha laws. It should be remembered, too,
that for offenses of whioh the negroes are
oftener guilty than any others—laroeny—
imprisonment in Alabama is now virtual
ly abolished. Politicians who are con
stantly harpiug upon the lawlessness of
the whites of the South would do well to
consult the jail statistics.
tralian eolonies. Adding 810,487 tor New
Zealand, wa bars 2,186,129, the popula
tion of the Australian oolonies. In 1861
they bad bnt 1,266,482.
There is muoh food for speculation in
lhaae figures. They show the rapid
growth of oolonies that are destined at
no distant day to form au important part
of tha world's industry, civilization,
progress and power. They indicate the
early establishment in the South Bess of
an empire or republic as distinct from
older nationalities as the United States
were from European governments after
tha achievement of our indopendenoe.
There la every reason to believe that their
growth will continue to be as great and
remarkable as that of the United States,
and that the late abodes of the unlettered
savage end brutal cannibal will soon be
the seat of science, refinement and moral
and material powsr. The British colonies
in North America never had such rapid
growth in oiviliaad settlement as
the great islands named above have had
within tha last twenty years, nur has our
growth at any time bean ao rapid. No
doubt oar young men of to day will live
to see the time when Australia will num
ber ten millions of people, and the conti
nental island will be the seat of a com.
zneroe aad industry attractive to all the
world. We oan hardly doubt, too, that it
will then be an independent nation, either
monarchical or republican, and as a mili
tary power will command tha respect of
the oldir nations. The European popu.
lation ia now so largo as to be seoure
against attaoks of the aborigines, and the
latter must retire and disappear before
the advanoe of tba white man aven more
rapidly than the North American Indiana
have retired. The frontiers of the white
settlement will extend from year to year
until it opens up the whole territory—rioh
in both soil and mineral—to the millions
of European emigrants seeking homes or
fortunes in a new oountry. Everything
points to the early building up of a great
and independent nation in the South Seas.

We are induced to make the above en
quiries from results given us of the pro
ducts of the farm of Moses A Hoff, known
as tha Thompson piaoe, about two miles
from Columbus.
This plantation haa raised this year
eighty bales of cotton of 500 pounds
eaob, on 200 acres of land, with sixteen
full hands aad ton nialea. It raises its
own oorn, most of its bscou, makes its
own manors, and sells more oats and
other produce, outside of cotton, than
pays its incidental expenses.
We have seen a close calculation made
of the year's business upon an actual set
tlement between the partners, and the
result shows that Mr. Jos Huff, who has
the entire management of the place, be
sides getting his living off of the planta
tion, has, as the result of his year's labor
for bia half of the products, forty bales
of ootton, of good quality, at a coat of
Ajj oents per pound. Major R. J. Moses
baa forty bales at a cost of 7} cents, the
difference of two cents per pound being
tbe amount allowed by him out of his
share for the personal supervision of the
plantation by bis partnar.
There ia no allowance made in this cal
culation for interast on tbe investment or
wear aod tear of stock. The profit, be
tween Sj and 13 oents, constitutes tbe
interest,hnt valueing the plantation, 1,000
acres, stock and anpplies on hand, at
#20,000, aod allowing 7 percent, interest,
tbe cost of Huff’s cotton would he 9f
oents. Wa state the oost of Huff’s ootton
separately, because that ahows what cot
ton ought to oost the frugal farmer, who
snperintenda his own business.
mow is this done ?
Mr. Huff is always attending to his bu
siness. He makes his own oorn snd most
of his meat. He buys no manure, but
economises everything on bit farm
that oan be converted into manure, keeps
his lots well littered, and gives bis whole
atttention to his business.
No allowance is made for wear and tear,
beoause the plantation shows an annual
improvement, and the stock looks as if it
had not done a day's work in the twelve
months passed. .
Besides these results, the plantation
shows twenty-five acroa planted in oats
for next year, and ona hundred aores of
stubble land turned over for the winter
freezes.
The piaoe is near Columbus, where
doubters can see for themselves, not only
that everything is in perfect order, bnt
that the eighty bales of ootton now piled
up at the farm, have been raised at 5}
oents per pound.
Thu laws of Mississippi give tbe mem
bars of tbe State Legislature a fixed sal

Wa gather the following from a letter
dated Marianna, Florida, Da earn bar Slat,
(Monday) :
On Baturday night, DeeambuT 19th, the
jury in the ease of E. W. Mooring, charg
ed with killing his youag brother-in-law
in Marianna, Florida, several months ago,
after a trial of three weeks, brought in
the fallowing verdict: Wa, iha jury,
find the prisoner not guilty, because tha
prisoner was insane at the time the homi
cide was perpetrated.
[Signed] J. W. Gaines, Foreman.
This verdict was dated Deesmber 19tk,
Tbe jury was composed of six white aud
six colored man. Counsal for the State:
Han. George 8. Hawkins, Judge Bush
aud Mr. McKenxie. For defence: Oa).
T. W. Branard, of Tallahassee, Capt. W.
Young, of Vicksburg, Mist., Col. MeOIel-
Ian, aud Maj. Milton, of Marianna.
The statute of the State makes it the
duty of the oourt to send a prisoner in
such cases to jail, to an asylum, or to de
liver him to his friends oa their giving a
suitable bond.
After the verdict was raoeivad, the
oourt remanded Mooring to his place of
confinement to ba brought Up Monday
morning to reoeive final aantence.
Saturday night about 11 o'clock, the
bailiff who had tha prisoner in charge
states a very lafga man entered the loom;
and with drawn pistol, while confederates
remainod outside, demanded that Moor
ing be released. The prisoner got in a
buggy, wbich was in waiting, and drove
off.
Early Monday Mooring was overtaken
in Alabama in tha boggy by himself, 18
or 20 miles from Marianna, and refused
to retnrn, and is still at large.
During the sessions of the court night
sessions were not held oa account of a
physioien’s certificate that the prisoner
was in exceedingly delicate health. Our
correspondent thinks bia health must
have been restored vary speedily.

Tackling Gen. Toombs on the re-onset-
ment of the usury laws, the New York
Journal of Commerce eaya:
There oannot be cited a single inatanoe
of their enforcement in our time any
where, exoept as a cover to the most
shameless roguery, or at any rata a# an
evasion of an equitable obligation. They
are a dead letter all over tha world exoept
as an instrument of injustice in the hand
of tha dishonest or fraudulent debtor.
If enforced in this State they would con
vict and shut up in prison as a criminal
overv man who aooommodatod his poorer
neighbor in a season of pressure, and
who thereby saved him from insolvency.
They violate the plainest principles of
equity and fair dealing, sod authorize
injustice and villainy.
