Toombs for Grant.
We extract the following from the let
ter of an Atlanta correspondent of the
N. Y. Herald, as copied into the Consti
tution newspaper of Atlanta; merely pre
mising that we differ most essentially
from the fiery ex-Senator of Georgia in
regaid to the effects on the South of a
re election to a Third Term of Gen.
Grant, were Buch an event to be effected
by the influence of the office holders of
the whole country, and of the reckless
mal contents of the South. The Herald
says:
Power of the Independent Press.
Without unnecessary formality of cir
cumlocution I expressed my desire to ob
tain an expression of his views for the
Herald upon the salient political questions
now before the country. At first declin
ing to talk at any length upon the ground
that he had been so often unfairly treat
ed by adventurous Bohemians, who had
sought his presence, General Toombs as
seated to the suggestion of the Herald
representative, that southern public men
must look to the independent press of the
great northern cities—papers not run in
the interest of factions and cliques—as a
medium of communication between the
thought of the south and that of the rest
of the country. In replying to this Bug
geation General Toombs gave an amusing
sketch of the present shabby-genteel con
dition of many southern newspapers, some
of which he declared “too poor to speak
the truth.” -
Reporter—Well, General, the country
always likes to hear from you, whether
in the shape of a letter with the old fami
liar signature, or in the shape of one of
those brilliant fusilades of political gossip
with which yon so often favor your
friends.
Inveterate Hostility to Freedom and
Suffrage.
General Toombs—In due time I shall
be heard from at length upon the great
questions which are now before the coun
and when I talk it will be with no un
certain sound. I never w r as a milk-and-
cider politician in my life, and everybody,
friend and foe, always knew^exactly where
Toombs stood. Columns of type would
hardly express my views upon present
public questions, and yet in fifteen min
utes I can give you the substance of my
present political creed. I never shall ac
quiesce in the fourteenth and fifteenth
amendments, and I never shall tolerate
the damnable doctrine that there can be
a good government where negroes par
ticipate in the shaping of public policy.
Negroes and Thieves Allied.
Reporter—But, General, unless you
ily for him. You can proclaim it to the
world that we are tired of this
Carnival of Knavery,
and that the south is determined once
more to attempt a revolution on the side
of a pure and honest administration of
government. This time we shall succeed,
because we shall have the government
with us, and we shall have whatever
there is of virtue and decency at the
north with us.
Reporter—I suppose that besides the
third term question there are the gsual
local issues in the canvass soon to open
in Georgia.
Georgia and her First Love.
General Toombs—Oh, yes. A very
encouraging phase of Georgia politics is
the disposition of the people to return to i
their first love, that is to their represen
tative men. Georgia always did despise
mediocrity, and she is sick and tired of
sending men of clay to Washington. This
was illustrated by Stephens’ election to
Congress last year, and, I hope, will be
again illustrated this year by Ben Hill’s
election in the Athens district. Hill, I
think, will be chosen, but not so much
from personal popularity as because the
people admire his brains, and want to be
represented at Washington by men of in
tellectual power and prowess.
Bidding me once more to “proclaim to
the world through the Herald his purpose
never to acquiese in the fourteenth and
fifteenth amendments,” Gen. Toombs
closed the interview by reiterating his ad
vocacy of Giant for a third term as
means of destroying an oligarchy of
knaves resting upon negro suffrage.
Direct Trade with Snrope.
We observe in the Savannah Morning
News, an interesting communication
from Col. P. H. Baiford, of St. Mar^s
Ga., on the subject of direct trade bes
tween the southern seaports and Europe.
His communication embodies several im
portant paragraphs extracted from
circular addressed to the Governors of
the Southern and Western states and
territories embracing the great cotton
and food producing regions of the Mis
sissippi valley, by the recently organized
“International and Mississippi Valley
chamber of commerce of London.” This
movement among leading commercial
men in England may be hailed as the
dawn of the era of “direct trade" (so
long sought) with Europe. We copy the
extracts from Col. Raiford’s article, and
unite most heartily with that far-seeing,
able and patriotic gentleman in commend
ing the good work, and in desiring our
next Legislature to take such action as
may best conduce to the ascertainment
and adoption of the best water-line of
intercommunication.
[From the St. Louis Dispatch (editorial) Aug 3 ]
MISSOURI DEMOCRACY.
Evidently those who are zealous for
the formation of a new party in Missouri,
or who are sure that the time is oppor
tune for the inauguration of a movement
similar to that one which culminated so
disastrously after Cincinnati, have never
considered the stuff of which Missouri
Democracy is made. They know nothing
of its fibre or texture, nothing of its pas
sions or its hatreds, and certainlg noth
ing of its traditions and its ancestry. It
was an observation of Taleyrand’s that,
with the memory of some great wrong to
unite them, an intelligent party rarely
ever loses it organization. It might be
ostracised socially and cut off from every
path or avenue to profit or patronage;
bnt when the hour for action came, the
old memories would revive in the heitrts
of the leaders, the old war-cries would
reawaken the dormant energies of the
rank and file, a grand uprising as of old
would astoniski&who believed resistance
“This Valley including the South Atlan
tic and Gulf States, (whose material in
terests are the same,) embraces twenty-
one independent States and five Territor
ies, namely: The State of Ohio, Wiscon
sin, Indiana, Illinois, Michigan, Minne
sota, Iowa, Nebraska, Kansas, Missouri,
Kentucky, Tennessee, Arkansas, Alabama,
Missouri, Louisiana, Texas, North Caros

New Mexico and tne Indian Territo-

In attempting to give a fair account of
the extent, nature and commercial im
portance of this great valley, it is diffi
cult to escape the suspicion of exaggera
tion. Everything connected with it is
on so grand a scale that the most cursory
statement of the bare facts sounds like a
panegyric. Its area of 2,455,000 square
miles is nearly double that of China, and
considerably greater than the united
areas of all the countries of Europe, leavo
ing out Russia. Extending through
thirty degrees of longitude, and twenty
three degrees of latitude, it posesses
nearly all varieties of climate, which
coupled with the unsurpassed richness of
its soil, makes it capable of yielding, in
the greatest abundance, almost every
product of the earth. In the production
of the great staples, such as com, wheat,
tobacco, cotton, etc., it stands pre-emi
nent even now in its initial stage of de
velopment. Its coal fields are, beyond
all comparison, the greatest in the world,
tlie deposits of several of the States
named exceeding those of Great Britain.
Its mineral wealth in iron, lead, zinc, copr*
per, etc., is absolutely inexhaustible. Its
means of inland transportation are on
the same vast scale; for apart from the
chain of lakes or inland seas on its north
east, it possesses 14,000 miles of available
river navigation, penetrating every section
indulging in an expression of that ve-. of the valley, and carrying a commerce
ter of European products and as an ex
porter of cheap food and raw materials
it will be to manufacturing Europe
tiie most important country in the
world.
In a work of this kind it is not ppssi
bleto anticipate the many opportunities
constantly arising and the many methods
that may be successfully employed to
accomplish the desired object. The main
consideration is that the prominent busi
ness men and capitalists of Europe
should realize the importance of the sub
ject, that the vast resources, capabilities,
and wants of the Missirsippi Valley
should be brought under their notice;
and that they should become sufficiently
acquainted with the people, and their
current business and affairs, as to enable
them to distinguish between sound and
unsound undertakings.”

Timely Farm and Plantation Topics
The T alt/e of Lime as an Application
to the Soil.
So much is now being said abont gu
anos and superphosphates, fish-scraps,
animal dust, bone meal and poudrette—
all excellent fertilizers, when honestly
made and understandingly applied—that
we are in danger of forgetting that old,
but never out of date, and never to be
discarded fertilizer, lime. This is a suffi
cient excuse for again calling attention to
it. It is never out of place, except on
lands already sufficiently charged with it.
Elsewhere, its application is always bene
ficial, but particularly so on soils in
which humus abounds, its effect being to
convert the insoluble matters in such
soils into available plant-food. It proves,
in many cases, in fact, “the wand of
Midas, changing everything it touches to
gold." The great obstacle to its use in
the cotton belt of the South, or at least
the larger part of it, has been the cost of
transportation from the distant parts of
the country where it is made. This ob
stacle has been effectually removed, so far
as this region of the Low Country, at
least, is concerned, by turning our inex
haustible marl beds to account iu its man
ufacture. From the marl which under
lies a vast extent of country, of which
Charleston is the base, a lime is now
made which can not only be sold cheaply,
but is, undoubtedly, far superior to stone
lime as a manure; and we greatly mis
take if this marl deposit do not prove, in
the end, the source of greater wealth and
prosperity to the country than even our
phosphate rocks. The value of this cal
cined marl has been fully demonstrated
by our truck farmers in the vicinity of
Charleston, the best proof of which is
the fact that the demand for it from them
is greater now than ever before.
Careful Cotton Picking Pays.
September is a busy month on the
plantation. Cotton picking is in full
operation, and is the most important
work of the month where the great staple
is the principal crop. Let it be pressed
hament and yet heretofore impotent re
sentment of the wrongs of reconstruc
tions 60 often heard from southern pub
lic men, I would like to know something
about the quo modo with which you pro
pose to act
General Toombs—This government is
now run almost entirely, by thieves and
negroes. The negro is not numerically
powerful, but he holds a balance of pow
er, which makes the thieves who run the
radical machine North and South defer
to his beastly propensities. This alliance
of negroes and thieves must be broken
up from base to capital, aud before long
I shall begin it right here. I have made
one revolution and I can make another.
Yea, sir, right here in Georgia I shall
begin this work of driving the negroes
and thieves from the national political
sanctuary.
Reporter—Permit me to ask respect
fully, General, are these what Mr. Choate
used to call “glittering generalities” in
which you are indulging, or do you mean
them as prophecies based upon your
knowledge of some really revolutionary
enterprise for the relief of the south
from the evils imposed by reconstruc-
tionT
The Hay of Expedients Past.
General Toombs—I mean that the day
of middle men, of temporary expedients
gttd of compromise politicians is over in
Georgia and the entire south, and that
w««i of my views and purposes see in the
near future a certain plan of relief which
they will be swift to embrace. Fools
ana time servers may denounce it as rev
olution but I care nothing for that, so
long as it is common sense and I have
fhe people of Georgia with me.
The Third Term Scheme.
This I took to be nothing but the third
term idea, which is now so rapidly grow
ing in the southern mind—the notion
that with Grant for a third term the south
|a to be rescued from further punitory
oppressive legislation by the repub
lican party. The sequel proved the cor-
raetness of this inference aud left no room
to doubt General Toombs' own sympa
thy with the third term sentiment with
the understanding that, if successful, it
would give the south relief.
Reporter—General Toombs do you
tfcfaik- that there is any third term seuti

of greater value than the Ocean commerce
of any nation in the world, except En
gland. It has 50,000 miles of completed
railways, being more than three times the
aggregate mileage of the United King
dom. Besides having four great cities,
with populations ranging from a quarter
of a million to four hundred thousand,
and increasing at the rate of eight or
twelve per cent, annually, it has numer
ous towns and cities containing twenty-
five to one hundred and fifty thousand
souls, and nearly all of them growing at
an extraordinary rate. Nearly six-tenths
of the people of the whole of the United
States reside in this valley, and the ma
terial wealth, as well as the political
power, of the Republic is rapidly centreing
there.
The interests of the people of this val
ley are substantially homogeneous. The
production of food and raw materials,
forming the bases of their industry, aud
their ability to exchange under favorable
conditions, the surplus of these produc
tions for manufactured articles, of which
they are vast consumers, is alike impor.
taut to the citizens of eaoh State, and
constitutes a most important element in,
their prosperity. At present this ex
change takes place under conditions the
opposite of favorable, and as a matter of
fact iB conducted through channels ad
verse to the interests of both parties. To
illustrate this it is only necessary to point
out that the States of the North Atlantic
slope—whose principal cities, New York,
Boston, Philadelphia and Baltimore, are
the factors of the Mississippi Valley—
compose the manufacturing section of
America, and every obstacle to the free
enterchange of European commodities
for the corn of the West, and cotton of
the South, is a positive advantage to
them. This, however, is merely alluded
to en passant as an interesting anomaly,
for it is not the purpose of this society to
interfere, or promote interference with
the financial and industrial arrangements
of the United States, its object being
simply to encourage the extension of
commercial intercourse between Euro;
and a country which is fast becoming t!
theatre of commerce and industry on the*
American continent. In estimating- the
value of this intercourse, it is necessary
to consider not alone what the Mississippi
Valley now is, but also what it is becom
ing; and whether we judge of its future
by its past, or by the splendid opportuni
ties it now offers for the employment of
labor and capital, we must arrive at the
same conclusion, that its present popu
lation of twenty-three millions will be
doubled and trebled within a comparative
ly short time, and that L'cthaa an impor-
Without caring save for the truth of
analysis to recall the memory of a single
wrong done to Democracy in Missouri
when it was accursed to be a Demoerat,
we would remind every new party moun
tebank in the state that persecution makes
parties, like it does individuals, heroic.
It is the blessed mother of discipline. It
gives to a cause a holy fervor like the
spiritualism of a new faith. It also be
stows its hatreds and its ceaseless year
nings for revenge. It teaches the aged
how to be cunning that may be useful in
counsel, and the youthful how to be brave,
that they may be swift and and resolute
in action. It is the great barrier, in short,
that violent partisanship raises between
the conquerors and the conquered, and
which prevents the absorption of the les
ser by the greater until time and over-
confidence, the abuses of power and the
cruelties of proscription and disfranchise
ment, work out for the latter that salva
tion, which restores the equilibrium of
right and justice.
It is impossible, because inharmonious
with human nature, for the Missouri
Democracy to forget in the next twenty
years the remorseless persecution that
was its lot from 1852 to 1870. It is the
memory of this, as much as anything else
and the vivid suffering of this, that make
the party in the state a great compact
mass of determined voters, who know
but one flag, one battle-cry, one purpose,
one destiny and future for every pro
position made in the name of a new com
bination or a new set of principales. It
may be called fanaticism—very well;
generally fanaticism is honest. I may be
unreasonable prejudice—still very well;
but when there are shaip swords in the
hands of prejudiced men, blood is spilt
and opposition perishes as the dew in the
morning.
When Drake is forgotten; when the
dead come back from their graves who
were slain because of the Democratic gar
ments they wore; when the land that
Missourians own passes away from an
offspring taught how to revere the cause
their fathers worshipped; when stranger
feet tread the battle fields made pre
cious with the blood of slaveholding
Democracy; when all the living witnesses
have perished who saw beggary array it
self in stolen purple, and stalwart ruffi
anism stalk through the sacred places of
the law; when cobweb platforms bear the
weight of aged giants who voted for An
drew Jackson; when Massachusetts cos
mopolitans no longer aspire to bear the
standard that was torn from the mantled
hand of Benton; when the millenium
comes, indeed, and the lion and the lamb
lie down together; the new party, bom of
a race that has neither wrongs to remem
ber nor monuments to build, may come
into Missouri as a plant likely to find
root and growth, and bear fruit for the
repentance of followers. United then,
Democracy in the state will remain as
now—the Gibraltar of the continent.
Bure for Consumption.
A correspondent says: “I have discover

cording to the nature of the disease. It
is good for the blood vessels also. It
strengthens the system, and builds up
instead of taking away strength. It makes
good blood, and takes inflammation from

You lose both in quantity and in qadhty
by delay. The first pickings should be
well sunned. Do not allow your hands
to pull off the bolls in picking, as they
are sometimes inclined to do; and avoid
picking immediately after a shower. In
all cases where large quantities are stored
in bulk, stir the heaps occasionally, and
expose the cotton to the air to keep from
heating. Keep the different qualities of
cotton separate, so as to avoid selling
mixed cotton for the price of the poorest
portion of it. It is best, if practicable,
to gin cotton as soon as dry, as it is far
safer in bales than lying in bulk in the
gin house.
Dry Clover and the Grasses.
If you have strong doubts in respect to
the suitableness of your soil for clover
and the cultivated grasses, try them at
first in a small way. That will not cost
much, even if a failure. Land for clover
and the grasses should be rich and thor
oughly prepared by deep, close plough
ing, followed by harrowing, previous to
which a good dressing of superphosphate
may be applied with advantage. Brush
lightly to cover, and by all means roll the
field with a tolerably heavy roller. This
last is an important and too generally
neglected process. H you are to sow
both ilover and the grasses, on the
same field, it is best to sow the clover
by itself, as the seed does not mix well
with the grass seed. The various kinds
of grass seed may be mixed before sow
ing.—Rural Carolinian for September.

"Wild Flowers in the Garden.—Every
garden of any pretense to beauty should
have little nooks and corners for small,
wild and exotic plants. These spots
should not be models of neatness in the
way of handsomely laid walks or clean,
well-cultivated beds, but a rough, wild
character may be aimed at instead. Old
stumps, stone piled here and there, over
which ivies, money-wort, myrtle, and our
American creeper may be encouraged to
ramble in all their native freedom. Of
course, large trees should be near, to cast
a shade, and partly hide it all, but among
the interstices between the large objects,
plant the little wild flowers and evergreen
shrubs, such as rhododendrons, kalmias,
hollies, wintergreens—not forgetting the
trailing arbutus. To these may be added
our wild ferns, moccasin flowers, pitcher-
plants, and other beautiful denizens of
the woods. Many of these are difficult
to transplant by ordinary methods, but
can be safely removed during the winter
months when there is no snow upon the
ground. Take an old ax and with it
chop out a ball of earth containing the
roots of the plants, and carry the whole
home and set out carefully. A little un-
frozen’soil can usually be obtained to put
around and over the clump of roots when
again set out. Even larger evergreens
from the woods and fields may also be re
moved with comparative safety in the
same way. But do not forget the little
rustic retreat where delicate wild flowers
seem to find a most congenial home,
remembering that “a rare old plant is the
ivey green.”—Rural New- Yorker.

Crop Report.
New Obleans, September 1.—The fol
lowing is condensed from the National
Cotton Exchange crop report for Aus
gust:
In Mississippi, Louisiana, Arkansas
and Tennessee, crops are generally suf
fering from drouth. The prospects are
less favoraflle than the same time last
year, and though a month ago the crops
were backward, picking will commence
quite as early as last year—the drouth
causing premature opening. In Alabama,
Virginia, North Carolina and South Car
olina the condition is about as good as
the same time last year. In Georgia and
Florida crops are injured by drouth, their j
condition being now less favorable than
last year. In Missouri prospects are
somewhat unfavorable; packing will com
mence from ten to fifteen days earlier
than last year. In Kansas the condition
is better than last year. In Indian Ter
ritory the plant is suffering from drouth,
and packing will commence ten to fifteen
days earlier than last year.
Prevention of Bog Cholera.
The Rural World says that one of the
largest hog breeders in Missouri, who
frequently has several hundred head at
on6e, never has any sick. He gives them
salt, just as he does other stock. In
cooking food for hogs—which he does
in a large wooden boiler holding thirty
or forty bushels—he has the coals and
ashes thrown in the boiler with the food.
He also sometimes puts in salt and sul
phur. His hogs eat burnt charcoal as
freely as they do com. They are shelter*
ed from cold and storms by movable
sheds. Occasionally he dissolves cop
peras, (sulphate of iron) in water and
mixes it with their food. This destroys
internal worms and is also a tonic. Hogs
are subject to colds* and phenmonia, as
human beings. The internal organs of
the hog more closely resemble those of
man any other animal.
James Gordon Bennett has twelve fine
tnrncnts at Newport; and bis four-in-
ubaadj* the best one there.
