TUESDAY, APRIL 11, 1882-
There is not even a so called Southern
man in the Cabinet When Hunt, of
Louisiana, gave way the last nominal
representative of this section was re
moved.
The graceful tribute to the memory
of the late Colonel W. T. Thompson,
which we recently reproduced from the
Galveston Newt, was from the able pen
of a well known Georgian—Colonel
Carey W. Styles.
The man who was prominently con
spicuous in the late swindle of Hon.
Charles Francis Adams was a notorious
bunko sharp, one J. S. MorrisoD, alias
Fitzgerald, alias “Fitz the Kid.” He
has been arrested.
The Democrats of Maine are in high
spirits over their chances at the approach
ing elections. They do not intend to lie
supinely on their backs and quietly wait
for victory, however, but will put their
shoulders vigorously and hopefully to
the wheel. They have their camp fires
bumiDg brightly all over the State, and
assert that the odds were never more
strongly against the Republicans.
The impression prevails that if Hon.
Richard T. Merrick, of Washington, is
given full control of the cases against
the star route swindlers they cannot es
cape conviction. It is feared, however,
that 31 r. Bliss has the prosecution so
nearly prepared that Mr. Merrick will be
confined simply to the trial of issues al
ready made up, and which may not be
the best calculated to secure conviction.
Half-breed material is conspicuous by
its absence from Arthur’s Cabinet. It
now contains six men, each of whom
may be regarded as stalwarts of the stal
warts, while W. E. Chandler is stalwart
or half-breed either, as may suit his
purposes. He has been very truthfully
described as a sharp, cunning, unscru
pulous wire puller. Guiteau's pistol has
* certainly worked a thorough political
revolution in the government.
The Vicksburg Herald, which is desig
nated a3 “anti-Bourbon,” takes the
ground that there can be no such thing
as negro rule in Mississippi because the
intelligence and capacity are found al
most wholly in the white race. It sug
gests that a very fair and just settlement
of that question would be to give each
race representation in office in propor
tion to the number in each race capable
of holding office, and thinks that any
other settlement would do one race or the
other injustice.
A writer in a California paper who has
recently passed over the Southern Pacific
Railway route says: “I have now made
all the journeys that lead from the Pacific
to Atlantic shores, and I think I am not
in error when I say that for six winter
months this route I have last traveled is
the best. We had neither cold, nor
heat nor dust. We traveled in comfort
and safety. When the connection is
made between El Paso and iian Antonio
there will be no rival to this for an agree
able winter’s trip.”
Arthur has determined to utterly anni
hilate what little actual progress towards
civil service reform Hayes insti
tuted. He intends to allow every em
ploye of the government who desires to
do so to enter actively into the politics
of his city, county and village. This
means that political assessments and
everything which was permitted during
the days of Grantism to secure party
triumph are to be re-inaugurated. A good
idea. Grant disgusted the country and
led to Republican overthrow, and Arthur
may do the same thing if he keeps on.
Henry Ward Beecher is a vigorous
anti-Chineeman, and he is endorsed by
some of the leading Radical journals in
this country. Yet the inflammatory
harangues of Beecher in ante-bellum
days, about the equality of mankind,
and the moral obligation resting upon
this country to see to it that all men were
free and equal and that the United
States was a refuge where the oppressed
and poverty stricken of all nations could
freely enjoy the blessings of liberty and
wealth, did more towards getting the
North and the South by the ears than
any other cause, or indeed than many
other causes combined. Beecher should
at least be consistent.
Reports are being circulated that the
confirmation of W. E. Chandler as Sec
retary of the Navy is doubtful, and seve
ral Democratic Senators assert that he
will not receive the Democratic vote.
They also claim that several Republican
Senators will vote against confirmation.
Those opposed to Chandler say that no
Senator who opposed him when sent in
by Garfield for Solicitor General can now
consistently vote for him for a higher
office. At that time seven or more Re
publicans were against him, among
whom were 3lessrs. Hoar and Hawley,
because they thought his nomination con
trary to civil-service-reform principles.
Messrs. Cameron, Conkling and Logan
opposed him, because of his prominence
in defeating Grant in Chicago. Chand
ler’s friends say he will be promptly con
firmed by a large majority, and no Re
publicans will vote against him.
The Presidential count bill which a
few days ago passed the Senate without
amendment provides that Presidential
electors of each State shall meet and
give their votes the second Monday of
, January next following their appoint
ment, at such places as the Legislatures
of the States may direct; that each State,
pursuant to its laws existing on the day
fixed for the appointment of electors,
may determine, prior to the meeting of
the electors, any controversy concerning
the appointment of all or any of them;
that such determination shall be conclu
sive evidence of their lawful title, and
shall govern in the count by Congress;
that no electoral vote or votes from any
State from which but one return has
been received shall be rejected,
except by the affirmative vote
of the two Houses: that if more
than one return is received from a State,
the vote of those electors appointed by
the lawful tribunal of the State shall be
counted, and in event of a question as to
which of the two or more of such State
tribunals is the lawful tribunal the votes
of electors appointed by that tribunal,
which the two houses, acting separately,
shall decide to be the authorized one
shall be counted: that in case of an un
determined contest between two or more
sets of electors of a State, those votes
ffHall be counted, which the two houses,
acting separately, shall decide to be the
lawful electoral votes.
The bill also provides that if the count
lag of vote* shall not have been com*
pieud before tie fifth calendar day next
after the first joint meeting of the two
booses, bo recess shall be afterward
taken by either boose until the counting
js finished.
The Funeral of Jesse James.
The demonstration recently indulged
in at the funeral of the notorious bandit,
Jesse James, was certainly one of the
most remarkable scenes ever witnessed
in this or any other civilized land. Here
was a bandit and robber whose name
had long been a terror to the entire West,
and whose record had been but one
continued story of murder, bloodshed
and pillage. Yet, wheD, under the in
stigation of a reward of SIO,OOO. offered
by the Governor of Missouri for his cap
ture desd or alive—a fact which in itself
tells more forcibly than could volumes
of the desperation of his character,
and the dread in which he was
held—he was shot down by a
detective who feared to attempt his
arrest, immediately there was as
much of an outburst of sorrow for his
fate, and indignation against his assassin,
as if he had been indeed a high toned,
honorable gentleman. Bending over his
dead body his aged mother declared that
her poor boy was far better off in
Heaven than in this troublous world,
and this sentiment, excusable perhaps in
her, it seems, met with universal re
sponse. We read that at his burial
mourning relatives, hosts of friends,
officers of the law In the vicinity, and
even the reverend clergy, all united in
paying extraordinary honors to his re
mains. Among his pall bearers was a
Sheriff, and a Deputy Sheriff, while the
coffin was followed to the grave by an
immense throng on horseback, in wagons
and on foot, and, in short, Kearney,
3ltssouri, the residence of the robber
chief, never saw so grand and distin
guished a funeral. Nor was this the
worst, but had “3lr. James,” as he is
now respectfully designated, been one
of the most exemplary ofTmen, we do
not believe any greater religious demon
stration could have been made at his
interment It is stated that the hymns
“What a friend I have in Jesus” and
“Where shall rest be found?” were sung
in most serious and impressive manner,
while the reverend clergyman who offi
ciated preached a most comforting ser
mon to the grief stricken assemblage.
That the mercy of an all merciful Crea
tor 19 boundless and beyond the compre
hension cf man cannot be denied, and it
surely could be no satisfaction to aDy
one, with a spark of humanity or charity
in his[eomposition, to believe that Jesse
James should, after his tragic demise,
not have been the recipient of that mercy.
We believe, however, that in no other
country in the world except ours could
such scenes as transpired at his burial
have been enacted, scenes that were
wholly and entirely wrong, inasmuch as
their tendency was to destroy respect for,
and the influence of, religion, and to be in
calculably injurious to society at large.
The cause of religion must suffer from
them, because their effect was to do away
with all wholesome restraints which the
fear of future punishment is certainly
presumed to impose, and which, to cer
tain extent at least, prevents the gener
ality of mankind from giving altogether
unbridled license to their evil inclina
tions. When the church, therefore, not
only fail 9 to deprecate and hold up to
public fear as well as abhorrence, the
deeds of James—a man who had literally
drenched his hands in blood, having, it
is said, committed not less than one
hundred murders, and who at the very
time of his taking off was preparing for
a raid in which stealing was the princi
pal object, but in which murder would
have unhesitatingly been committed had
it been found necessary to accomplish
that object—but even treats him as a
sainted martyr, then it merely offers a
premium on crime, and makes pillage
and outrage to be commenced.
In the same way it is that society and
regard for law and order must suffer
when an entire community turn out
to show distinguished honor to the
memory of such a man as James, for in
so doing that community sanctioned rob
bery and lawlessness, and deified one
whose prominent characteristic in life
was that he bade defiance to all laws,
human and divine. The people of Kear
ney and that section may perhaps regard
the respect due to property as of noth
ing worth, and believe that a man ha ß
a perfect right, if he has the
nerve and the “grit,” to
rob banks, despoil widows and orphans
of their hard earned savings, and frighten
and plunder defenseless passengers on
railway trains and upon the public high
ways. Still the open promulgation of
these ideas will not be likely to attract
to any section where they are indulged
in a tide of immigration, nor be regarded
as offering very enchanting inducements
to settlers. We have heard it frequently
assigned as a reason why immigration
does not seek the South more largely,
that the infamously false stories, so in
dustriously disseminated by malignant
haters of our section about the insecu
rity of life and property in our midst are
believed, and work to our injury. How
then can any community which gives
practical evidence that it does not abhor,
but rather approves of total disregard
for life and property, hope to prosper
and flourish?
The circumstances under which Jesse
James was killed, and the fact that he
was shot in a cowardly manner from be
hind by a presumed friend who was en
joying his hospitality and had broken
his bread, natuially excites sympathy for
the victim and contempt for his slayer.
Nevertheless, there has been entirely too
much “gush” about James since his
death, and his long record of crime has
been too much glossed over. The South
may, as its enemies assert, be too careless
in the matter of making crime odious,
and visiting stern and swift justice
upon criminals. But nowhere in the
South proper, we unhesitatingly asrert,
could such scenes and such disregard for
the teachings and restraints of religion,
and the welfare of society, be shown, as
were recently manifested over the grave
of the champion bandit and robber of
the West. When next our stalwart ma
ligners and traducers of that section de
sire to indulge in their peculiar propen
sities it is to be hoped they will bear this
fact well in mind.
The New Orleans limes Democrat is
inclined to discount very largely the rose
colored views which are being indulged
in in some quarters, regarding the ability
of the planters of the Mississippi Valley
to yet make a good crop. It says : “It
is much better to look the situation
squarely in the face. No good can come
of sanguine expectations which have no
basis of fact or probability. The great
Valley of the 3lississippi has been flooded
from Cairo to the Gulf and, even though
the waters should disappear entirely by
the 20th of the present month—a most
unlikely consummation—there will still
remain serious if not insurmountable ob
stacles to the production of a remunera
tive crop. We shall be able to Bpe&k
positively in October, but what we say
above is the reasonable and probable
forecast in the lights now before us.”

Ensilage.
This term is of recent origin, and
grows out of the discovery made by a
Frenchman, Auguste Goffsrt, that green
crops, when stored under heavy pressure
in water-tight pits, called silos, do not
decay, but are preserved fresh and sweet
and retain for considerable length of
time all their nutritive juices, and are
more preferable as winter food for cattle.
This is a subject which very naturally
has excited a great deal of interest among
the farmers of this State, as elsewhere,
since not only is it asserted that a great
deal more of weight in green food
than dry can be raised on an acre,
but ensilage, it is claimed, possesses the
advantage of supplying cattle with suc
culent food in the winter—a great ad
vantage, especially to milch cattle. The
Missouri Republican, in a recent issue,
gives a full description of this food, the
mode of its preparation, and indeed all
valuable information connected with it.
As the article will probably prove of
considerable interest to our farmer
friends, we will produce it in substance
for their benefit.
According to our Western conlem
poraiy any green crop that stock are
fond of wheH in a growing state is good
material for ensilage—grass, clover,
rye, young corn, sorghum, and vege
tables; but corn, clover and the
grasses are most generally used, because
when growing they are full of juice,
which is lost in curing into hay or fod
der, but preserved in the silo. Several
kinds of green crops may be packed in
the same silo, and the ensilage is said to
be improved by the variety. Corn,
either drilled and cultivated or sown
broadcast, and cut in its most juicy con
dition, is the basis of most ensilage expe
riments in this country; it may be packed
in the same silo with clover or grass of
any kind cut green, and successive crops
of com may be planted for mixture with
different kinds of grasses in their season.
As it is estimated that ten to twenty tons
weight of green crops may be cut from
an acre of good soil—five to ten times as
much as the weight of a dry crop of
grain or hay- it is easy to see how much
more profitable it is to save green crops
in the foim of ensilage than to allow
them to manure and dry. Colonel J. W.
Wolcott, of Boston, who owns a farm
near that city, raised 466 tons of ensilage
on 34 acres—l 4 tons to the acre—last
year. By raising two crops on the same
soil he has gathered as much as 21 tons
per acre. On one piece of ground he
gathered 31 tons per acre, but “that
com was fourteen feet high,” he says.
He adds: “I am satisfied that an acre
of ground will keep a cow twenty four
months.”
When the silo is opened in winter the
contents are found in a sort of cheesy
condition, and require to be sliced off
with a sharp axe. They have undergone
a slow and slight fermentation, which
does not impair their merits as feed and
is not offensive to cattle. Indeed, the
first smell of ensilage is said to “set cat
t’e wild for it,” and they prefer it to any
other kind of feed.
Silos are variously constructed. The
usual plan is to dig pits ten feet wide,
fifteen feet deep, and as long as may be
desired, on sloping ground, and make
them water tight with rement. 3lr. C. W.
Mills, of Pompton, New Jersey, prefers
to build a strong frame, board and up tight
and close with thick lumber, entirely
above the ground, something in
the fashion of an ice-house. The green
ctops may be packed into them, either
whole or cut up with a cutter; each plan
has its advocates, though the weight of
opinion is in favor of cutting, as it allows
of closer packing. As the crops are
thrown in they are trodden down as close
ly near the edges as possible, and when
the silo is full it is covered and weighed
with heavy rocks or earth, and then
shedded over to protect it from the
weather. In a few weeks the ensilage
is “ripe” and ready for use. One end of
the silo, if built along the ground, may
be opened and the ensilage cut out and
fed as it is wanted. Its quality will
depend on the crops of which it is made
and the care with which they are packed
away. Nearly all animals will eat it, and
cattle are said to like and thrive on it,
while for milch cows it is particularly
valuable, as it increases their flow of
milk and keeps them in healthy condi
tion.
The Readjuster coalition political fam
ily of Virginia is not altogether a happy
one, and its chances of continued power
in the State are not improving. Ex-
Auditor Massey, the founder of the
party and “father of readjustment,” who
was unceremoniously turned out of office
because he would not permit the caucus
to appoint his clerks and assistants, does
not intend to be thus retired to private
life. He is determined to teach the men
who deprived him of an office which he
believed the people wanted him to hold
that they are not masters of the State.
If the pending gerrymandering appor
tionment bill can be defeated—and it
may possibly be done by the aid of the
Readjuster Senators who stand by Mas
sey—then the ex Auditor expects to be a
candidate for Congressman at-large from
Virginia, and it is quite likely he would
be supported by the Democrats, as his
election would tend to destroy the politi
cal influence of Mahone. There are
other troubles in the Readjuster camp
besides those growing out of the Massey
quarrel. It now appears that the colored
voters were promised a liberal share of
State and Federal patronage in return for
their support, and many of them are
complaining that this promise has not
been fulfilled. According to the Wash
ington Star, numbers of them have vis
ited "Washington, of late, to press their
demands for offices which they allege
were promised them, and not a few have
gone back home disgusted and disap
pointed.
The Illinois State Senate evidently has
no sympathy for Jesse James. On Fri
day last the following resolution was
offered in that city:
Wit ere as, Mr. Bob Ford, the slayer of
Jesse James, has rendered valuable ser
vice to his country by killing the worst
outlaw known to the history of modern
times, and while his act is unlike that of
Sergeant 3lason, save in the fact that he
is a better shot; and
Whereas, This Senate has requested
the unconditional pardon of Mason;
therefore be it
Resolred, That it is the sense of this
Senate that Governor Crittenden, of Mis
souri, should at once unconditionally par
don Bob Ford, the young and noble hero,
who has rendered such Valuable service
to his country.
This resolution was, however, voted
out of order.
Congress is making poor headway.
The regular appropriation bills, aggre
gating, say about $180,000,000, could be
examined and passed by a diligent Con
gress in four or five weeks. It is now
the fifth month of the session, and the
House is about in the middle of the list,
while the Senate has only passed three
of the bills. The unparalleled number
of bills introduced—now nearly seven
thousand—shows a poor sort of dili
gence; but the regular business is not
helped by it.

The Society for Organizing Charity in

been requested to inform his officers that
there were places where all persons found
begging on the streets can be sent for re
lief. The society proposes to furnish to the
police department cards containing a list of
the district officers of the organization. If
beggars refuse to go to these places, or
shall be found beggffig again, then the
society desires that such cases shall be
treated as offenses against the law. The
society have an arrangement by which able

to the Pennsylvania Railroad Company.
Scores of such applicants are now at work.
Of the killing of Jesse James the Chicago
Tones says: “It was not attempted to ar
rest him. Mr. James was believed to have
s'ated that he would not betaken alive, and
the belief was universal In Missouri that he
would have to be reduced to the condition
of a corpse before it would be practicable to
serve a warrant upon him. No experiments
were tried. One of the detectives whom he
supposed to be bis apprentices crept up be
hind him, and put a bullet In his brain.
Jesre James was effectually arrested. The
end was in perfect accord with his career,
and he would undoubtedly have preferred
dying as he did to being hanged, and the
traveling public feels a great deal safer now
than it would If Jesse James was merely In
jail awaiting trial. His method of arrest
was a little irregular, but his reputation
was such that no man could have been ex
pected to attempt his arre6t by aDy other
means than the revolver.”
The people of Kansas established the cus
tom of setting apart a certain day for the
planting of trees, and have named it Arbor
day. At Topeka this year this day was ob
served in planting trees on the fair ground*.
Notwithstanding a terrible gale of wind
which was blowing at the time, quite a num
ber of farmers of that vicinity assembled.
The Blate Fair Association had a force of
laborers i mployed in digging holes for the
trees, which were set in accordance with a
plan adopted for artistic effect. Oak Grange
was represented on Arbor day by about a
dozen members, who had resolved to set out
one hundred trees. Numbers of prominent
citiz ns are reported to have been present.
Capitol Grange performed their work a
little later in setting out trees on the fair
grounds. It is believed that if Kansas
could be planted In forests in proper pro
portion to prairie lands.she would be almost
free from her three greatest enemies
droughts, grasshoppers and tornadoes.
Senor Elmore, the Peruvian Minister in
Washington, has received a cable message
from Lima,communicating the news that ex-
Dlctator Pierola has finally embarked and left
Peru. “The whole of Peru,” Senor JH'more
says, “is now finally united (in spite of the
persistent efforts of Pierola and the Chilians
to destroy constitutional order), in the
recognition of the constitutional govern
ment of Calderon, represented by Vice
President Montero, who is a’so recognized
by the whole of Peru, and in whose name
General Caceres lately took the city of
Ayacucho with the last remnant of Pierola’s
followers.” “This,” Senor Elmore con
tinues, “Is the legacy which the lamented
Gee. Hurlbut has left Peru, as the greatest
triumph of his heroic life; and while the
Peruvian people exist united and are in the
enjoyment of republican institutions, they
will ever remember and revere the name
of Hurlbut, the United States Minister and
statesman, to whose memory the national
gratitude will soon raise a fitting monu
ment.”
Mr. Tennyson’s recent song, “Hands All
Round,” has stirred the wrath of the tem
perance people In Manchester. They have
unanimously resolved that, in their opinion,
“the heathen custom of drinking toasts
tends to popularize the erroneous ides
that men cannot meet and erijoy themselves
on festive occasions without the use of in
toxicating drinks,” and they "regret that
the poet laureate should, In his latest so
called patriotic song, attempt to immortal
ize a system so closely associated with the
beverage that produces drunkenness, vice,
crime, pauperism, and everything that causes
a blush of shame to mouDt the cheek of all
true patriotic lovers of England and her
noble institutions.” They further deter
mined to forward a copy of the resolutions
to Mr. Tennyson, and appoint a committee
to prepare a memorial to the Queen, “ask
ing her, as a patron of the Church of England
Temperance Society, to use every proper
influence with the leaders of fashionable
society against the evil custom of drinking
toasts at their various social and philanthro
pic meetings.”
Mr. James B. Bailey, of Syracuse, N. Y.,
writes: “Of all men born to suffer I think I

sixty. My troubles made me unfit for busi
ness or pleasure. A year ago I tried Brown’s
Iron Bitters, and now in my twenty-seventh
year I feel myself for once In my life ‘a
perfect mao.’ ”
