Tub Supreme Court of Michigan haa
decided that the concent of the parties ia
all that is requisite to make a marriago
valid, and that no oeremony is neosssary
—the eame doctrine that has already been
laid down in several Slates.

Gen. Koht. 0. Sohonoli, Envoy Extraor
dinary and Minister Plenipotentiary of
the United States of America, near Her
Majsety, the Queen of Great Britain and
Ireland, has made himself conspicuous in
England by assuming a role for which he
has all the qnaliiloatinns, lint in which he
was not expected to act when Rent abroad
by our Government. Gen. Schenok first
distinguished himsolf in Lofldon by his
connection with the notorious Emma
mine speculation. In this enterprise he
showed himself a shrewd speculator, and
succeeded in “roping in" the crednloue
and plethorio Englishmen who saw car
goes of silver coming Eastward as a re
turn for the investment into which they
were led by the oily tongned diplomat
from the Buckeye State. Nut eatiafied
with inducing many of the ataid subject*
of Her Most Gracious Majesty Viotoris,
toheoome speculative “bulls” and “bears/’
Gen. Schenok has inaugurated a move
ment that threatens the ntter demorali
zation of the balance, if Parliament is
not at ouce assembled and an act passed
ington that Pinohbaok'a admission as a
Sanator ia rendered more probable by tho
reaulte of Senatorial electiona in Michigan
and Wiaoonain—it being now apparent
that the Administration will need alt the
balp in the Senate that can by any maans
be mustered.
Thu offlefel reports show that the pro

Tub first Stats election of this year ia
that of New Hampshire, which will be
held on the Oth of March. A Governor,

lature are to bo elected. Both parties are

abroad he prayerfully determined to

old world lha progressive ideas in business

great western world end make our people
eo virtuous and happy. To ha snro he
did not sncceed with the Emma, but he
had Roinething back that could not fail,
sumotliing destined to seenro hia mis
sionary object, and givo him a name
in literature. This was no mora nor
less than a premeditated rivalry
of noyle, and the iutroduotion of the no
ble gamo of “draw, poker." England
knew nothing of this science, how could
she when she is so ignorant of so many
other Ameriosn arts and iuvantions, the
products of onr splendid civilization.
But England knows all abont “draw
poker" cow, for Goneral Schenok, Envoy
Extraordinary, &?., Ac , near Her Maj
eaty, Ac , Ao., has given to the English
world a set of rules for playing the gtme,
and Ibis noble work is so concise and
simple that every one of her Majesty's
snhjecs that can raise a penny may be
master of the art as underalood by the
great American. Wbat the effect of this
work will be on the British nation it is
impossible at this time to anrmise, but it
is reasonable to presume that whist will
become obsolete, and lhat from Ihe pur
lieus of Hi. Giles to the clubs of Hi.
James and tlie stately mansions of West
End and Belgravia “draw poker” will at
once become the proper game of chance,
for aocordiug to Gen. Schenok it requires
those requisites which Englishmen flatter
themselves they possess, viz.: “(1) Good
luok; (2) good cards; (II) plenty of cheek;
and (4) good temper."
The English should be good on “bluff,'
and before Gen. Schenok Envoy, Ex.,
Ac., Ac., is withdrawn, we doabt not they
will thoroughly understand being “raised"
forced lo “draw" and made to “ante,”
and they will see (he wholo thing “better"
than they possibly can at the first “llush."
This innovation may result in nffreting
the English langnsge, and we wanld not
be surprised if stocks in the English
Boards where heroatlor graded a
“Straight," “Two Kiuga and an Ace,
“Sequence,” “Foil," “Pours,” and so on,
through the whule delightful momencls-
ture of “Draw Poker." The Uonortblo
ltobert Envoy, Ao., explains lhat.be gave
Ihe manuscript of the rules to a friend,
and that they were published without hia
knowledge or oonsent, but does this de
stroy tho fact that oar minister has en
tered the lists as an authority on gam
bling? And do not the rules he has
given show that he is a mister of the
mysteries of “Draw l’oker?"

before their submission to the people
for ratification. True, it would require a
little over two yean If tha Legislature
should first pas* tha amendments at this
session. But the longer the Legislators
delays the commencement of the work,
the longer it will be before (he people
can oompUte it. Had the amendments,
been adopted by the last legislature, last
winter (as wa then proposed) the prasont
Legislature conld have given them the
seeond pasaags before this time, and
within two or three months from tbit
date the people could have ratified them.
It will take longer now, because of the
neglect of the last Legislature to act.
But we cow see more clearly tha difficulty
of amending the Constitution qniokly by
the call of a Conven'ion. We aee a Leg.
islature, the majority of whose members
are represented to be in fsvor of a Con
vention, apparently unable to cell it be
cause of the differences as to particular
amendments and the difficulties respect
ing representation, to which we have
alluded above. Wa respectfully suggest
that no farther time be lost in resorting
to the alternative plan. Let Ihe present
Legislature pasa npon such amendments
as to the majority may seem desirable,
and let the next Legisla'ure, if it is of the
same mind, also pass them and submit
them to the popular vote. We can see no
ether mode of arriving at an early and
satisfactory solution of this question.
Papbbs of various cities make mention
of a new kind of gas, whioh they say is
fiO per cent, heller than the gas made
from ooal. They say that it contains no
ammonia or sulphnr, but what it is made
of, is not stated. The papers of Mem
phis, Chattanooga, and Columbus, Miss.,
speak highly of it as beautiful, pure,
cheap and brilliant.
IUpbzsentative A. II. Buckner, who
was one of the Congressional Committee
sent to investigate Alabama, haa written
a letter to Senator Thurman, in whioh he
states that Hays' oharge of murders and
other outrages in Wast Alabama ware not
sustained. The charge was that in the
counties of Cboolaw, Marengo, Bumter,
Pickens, Greene and Coffee (all in Hays'
District) there hnd been 3U persons killed
and 20 or .10 wound.-1 within the space of
two months and a half. Mr. Buckner
writos: “With the exception of the mur
der of Billing! and Ivey in Hnmtar county
—the former a white and the latter n col
ored men—(here was not a particle of
evidence before the Committee that any
■uoh killings had taken placa in either of
these counliea, and they were proved te
be nnfonnded as far aa a negative oan be."
ALABAMA LKUMLATUBE.
Wednesday, lOfA.—In the Henato, on
the oall of the Districts, Mr. Moore intro
duced resolutions providing for an inves
tigation into the right of Geo. E. Sponcer
to hold tho seat usurped by him as United
States Senator, but it was ruled out of
order at that time. The Senate, after
mush discussion, passed tho bill “to pro
vide for a registration of voters in tho
State of Alabama." [It provides that tho
Judge of Probate, Sheriff and Clerk of
the Circuit Court of eaoh county shall,
on or about the 1st of March in eaoh
year, appoint a registrar of electors in
eaoh election product or ward of their
oounties, who shall bo a freeholder or
householder in such precinct ; that the
registrars shall appoint days, from time
to time, when they will attend for tho pur
pose of registering voters, giving due
notioe thereof; that they shall do this
until the Tuesday two weeks before the
general election, attending all day for the
last two days of the registration ; that
every voter must register in the preoinot
of bis rssidenoe; that all voters, whether
heretofore registered or not, must regis.
ter at tha first registration under this act,
but thereafter will not he required to
register again unless they remove to an
other preoinot; lhat the penalty fur
fraudulent registration shall bo imprison
ment in the penitentiary two to five years;
that the registrars shall reoeive from the
county treasury ten oents for eaeh name
registered.] The Senate also passed Ihe
bill to regnlato elections (requiring men
to vote in their own precinote, Ao. 1
The Honse bad up the Senate bill to
divide the Stale into eight Congresaionel
Dietriots. Many amendments were of
fered and defeated — two by only one
vote each. The Radicals fought hard to
delay action on the bill. Finally, after
most of the day had been spent, it was
ordered to a third reading to-morrow at
12 o'olock. The Ways and Means Com
mittee reported favorably to House bill
to He the rate of tax ou the shares of
■took in National Bank Associations in
this State at GO oents on Ihe share. Made
speoial order for Saturday after reading
tha journal. The Haine committee re.
ported favorably with amendment upon
Senate bill to amend the funding bill ao
aa to make State Obligations receivable
for county and municipal taxes. The
amendment providea that the acts ihall
not apply to such portion of taxes aa ara
levied by any county or city to pay the
principal or interest on any bonds or
othar obligations iasuad or negotiated by
laws of this State. Tha amendment was
adopted, and tha bill was up whan the
House adjourned.
SUBMIT AMENDMENTS.
Our advicea from Atlanta are to the
effect that the proposition to call a State
Constitutional Oonveutionrewill probably
bo defeated. To auy one who will take
a reasonable view of ihe difficulties iu the
way, this will not appear strange. Various
amendments are denirable, but all men
who want a Cue vent ion do not agree
to the amendments of tho Constitution
whioh they desire to have adopted. Thus,
mauy people want a material modifica
tion of the Homestead provisions of the
Constitution, and others are equally or
more solicitous that tha instrument should
uot be disturbed iu this respeot. One
seotion waste, mure thau anything else,
an amendment authorizing the removal
of the capital from Atlanta, and another
aeotion would sacrifice every other desi
rable reform rather Ilian have the capital
removed. Then there is the trouble abont
the busia of representation. Our people
have beeu so long accustomed to county
representation aa to make them suspicious
of and reluctant to accept any other
basic. But if a Convention is now called,
they muat either give up county repre
sentation or bear Ihe expense of a body
composed of several hundred delegates—
Dot less than four hundred if the consti
tutional requirement in respect to repre
sentation is itridly adhered to, and each
county ia given at least one delegate.
What ia the proper mode of reconciling
these differences and avoiding these diffi.
Du ties? We say, as we have contended
ever ainee this Convection ques
tion was sprung, that it is in tho adoption
of tho other mods of amending the Con
stitution. It ia by tho submission of dis
tinct amendments to the popular vole.
This will avoid complications that might
constrain many meu to vote fur or against
a constitution as a whole, some of whose
provisions were peculiarly unacceptable
to them, and others particularly desirable.
It will obtain s fair and distinct popular
vote npon each proposition, settling it
definitely and upon its own merits.
It may be objected that it will require
a long time to amend tha Constitution in
this way, aa the amendments will have to
be adopted by two successive Legialaturee

THE

--PITCHING*
Theaihla for the Planters.
Editor Enqu'ror .-—It is said by con
tinoally pressing an idea upon men, they
will often adopt it, although it leads them
s course contrary to tha one previously
chosen. May I hope by following up the
snggestion of my former papers I will
yet indnoe some of yonr farmer readers
to admit their foroe and adopt a new line
of thought and action ? I will, any way,
make one more appeal, baokod up by
some thonghts whioh, though they may
have occurred to them many times, yet
leading iu a direction the oppoaite of the
one whioh their inclinations had marked
ont, have been neglected.
February is the month for pitching the
plowed crops of the farm, and upon that
turns the destiny of many farmers ; there
fore, it is all important for them (o con
aider well the prospects of the future and
the chances of sucoess and failure before
the die is oast. Is cotton to constitute
the one crop of the farm, or will other
things be allowed a place ? Is money the
only objeet in view, or does the farmer
want some bread of bia own raising; aome
fodder, hay, oata, peas, potatoes, turnips,
milk, butter and pork as the results of
his year’s work ? Will he, in deoidiug
this, to him a great question, think
carefully over the past fiva years, mid
if the data is not forgotten, enter up a
careful account current with himself,
charging up the oash he started with and
all he haa borrowed since, crediting the
net results of each year's eropping, giv
ing a tabular statement of tho acreage of
cotton and provision crops and balancing
the whole ho as to show whether there
has been loss or profit as the goneral re
sult ? If he has been successful there is
no need for a change, “let well enough
alone” is a good maxim in any business,
especially good when applied to farming.
But if his bslanoe sheet shows a loss, aa
most all cotton farmer's will, then he should
open his eyes wide and think carefully
before he makes another throw. If eue-
cess or failure in farming was all lnek, as
is carl playing or dice throwing, it would
make no difference whioh coarse he took
bnt it in not—brain and muscle must tako
their places and work out the result —
matter always yielding to the power of
brain. Of comae, in this and all things,
we must (rust tbo all-wise and merciful
Father, but He has giveu us minds capa
ble of understanding somewhat the work
ings of nature, oapable of knowing how
best to prepare our fields so as to aid them
in tho wonderful process of productions,
and it is a solemn duty wo owe to Him to
use those powers to their fullest exteut
without ever once thinking of luck, ahd
when we flud]any oourse of farming, how
arm favorite it may be, has proven wrong
it ia as much a Christian duty to chango as
it is iu morals, therefore,I bpg you to turn
again to your bslanoe Sheet and study
each item until you are sure they ex
press the whole tralh before you again
trust yourselves to Ihe policy of the past.
Ia tbo item of corn, whioh side of tho
seoount, debtor or creditor iB tbo largest
of lmy, whioh side shows tbo biggest fig
ures; of family expenses, bow mauy del
lars have gone ont for articles which
ought lo have been raisod at home; docs
the account show how much has been
paid for Western and Northern butter,
eggs, cabbages and turnips ? If so, ask
yourselves whether at less cost your own
yards and gardens oonld have furnished
them of better quality. Of oottou have
you taken the yean together and • consul
ered the cost of production as compared
with returns of sales ? One or two year*
may show a bslanoe to credit, hut does
the fiva years sum np right. If not,
«lnt's the matter? Have you been try.
iug to get rich quick by growing nothing
but cotton, so yon conld sell out and run
away from the free negro? Did you
think all Ihe fool farmers were going lo
plaut largely of grain and lessen their
cotton crop eo yon oonld run in your big
one at high prices and buy their corn
cheap ? Or were you honestly deceived
by the figure! showing it was cheaper lo
grow cotton at 20 cents per pound and
pay for corn than to raise it at ten bashels
to the acre, and when you came to sell
got only 12 cents for your cotton ? Did
the oaterpillar, or drought, or flood, or
some other terrible thing come along and
blast yonr hopes and leave yonr fields
bare of everything ont of which the gen
erous soil might make up in the winter
the food for next year's crop? Usvo yon
been a good friend to Northern fertilizer
companies and helped them pay large
dividends by running yonr ereeit heavy
for their mineral element and crost eund
compounds? Let the analysis of your
five years' account cnrrent answer these
many questions, and I repeat, if it shows
a profit don’t obange yonr coarse; but if
it docs not, (and if. what I bear from tha
merchants ie true, I fear many, yyy
many, do not,) I beg you to consider well
this February, befora yon put in a seed,
what you had better do to change Uia
■nrnmiog up next fall; remember,
that to rhsnge a bad policy is
absoln'e duly yon owe to God
and your family, and if you are worse off
now thau yon were fives ago yonrs moat
have been a bad policy—ao change it at
once.
Take the account again, cast up the
provision items. What wonld be the dif
ference if ruo tof thesa conld betaken
out—most of them oan be in future ac
counts. Think over it. Can’t yon fall
ou some plan to work out all suoh items
from your uext general summary, so it
may show a profit ? Is is true that cot-
eon is your only money crop, but experi
ence h&s shown that beyond a rertain
limit the expense eats up all the profits;
then why exceed tbat limit ? You know
that if your crop is properly divided and
arranged yop can work a large acreage in
corn, peas and potatoes, to eay nothing of
the oats, without materially affecting the
cotton crop or adding to the expense of
the farm. Then why not try this change,
and this year, instead of thirty acres of
poorly worked cotton and five of corn, to
the mule, try fifteen sores of cotton
and twenty-five iu corn, peas and pota
toes—so set that tho male will not have
to plow all at once. You know if the corn
ie started off early in March it can
Ire plowed twice before the ootton
will need more than two furrows, and the
peas and potatoes, if put in in May and
June, will not need the plow much be
fore the corn is off yonr hands, so that
the hands required (o make the cotton
crop can actually work the provision
crops at almost an imperceptible loss of
time from the ootton; end whether you
mske a good crop or not, it will have
ooat so little you will hardly miss it.
They will pay, however, largely more
than the cost, even if you do put vory
little in Iho orib, for your land ia fearful
ly in need of vegetable mattpr, old dry
grass if nothing better, to act meohani-
oally on it and open it up so the gases of
atmosphere oan circulate through it and
aid the fermentation by which yonr stock
of ammonia, phosphorio and other aoids
ere produced, out of which your next
grass crop is to bo produced, thus saviug
the largo item for chemical fertilizers
which you have been bliudly buying be
cause some high-sounding certificate has
asserted Ihe stuff good. They will
pay by sheltering the little birds'
from hawks and cold, bo they may
pick up Iho grubs aud larvae of the insects
which would prey on the next year’s crop
They will pay iu protecting yonr lands
from the washing ami leaching rains of
winter and preventing the hoofB of ani
mals from ueading it up into briok mor
tar wbile wot, aud by providing an inex
pensive food for these animals theso cold
days. They psy by onnbling you to set
up a-common-sense rotation of crops
which all cotton has heretofore prevented,
thus giving to earth time to perfeet the
chemical changes at which it is always
engaged when the necessary conditions
arc complied with. They pay by reliev
ing tho pressure of work and enabling
you to give your cotton crop more, fre
quent, light workings,thus preserving the
etand and Ihe roots, and making oneaore
produce what it now takes two or three to
do. They pay largely, very largely, in
keep:ug yoniself and family down from
the high stilta of pride aud extravagance
which broad acres in ootton are so npt
mtko you want, for you know these hun
dred bale men are a little vain of the three
figures ou the heads of their bales,
whether they carry home any money or
not, and trying to keep up this show of
wealth has made them tng at the purse
strings of their commission merohants as
long as a red could be palled out. Thus
you see, farmers, there are many
thoughts which should pass through your
minds these February days, and aome of
them should etch themselves deeply, for
you need them badly.
I only speak to those whose policy
since 18IS5 has not ptid; npon them I
hope these words will fall like hammers
ami wake them up. It is a great mistake
to say you are not intelligent. I know
you and know all that is needed ia to
above you out of the old ruts and you will
scon mend your ways aud restore your
sinking eredit, whioh for your own sake
I beg you lo try this year honestly to do.

Tnii Louisians Cohfbomise.—We learn
from our New (Moans exchanges of
Wednesday, that the members of the
Congressional Coumiiltce left on Tuesday
morning for Washington ; that previous
to leaving they were waited upon by the
Conservative caucus, who submitted to
them the plan of adjustment agreed upon
iu sreret session; that the proposition
differed from tho original in no material
respect—only in phraseology ; that Mr.
Wheeler took ihe piper containing the
proposition with him to Washington, and
promised to telegraph his opinion of it at
nn early day, and the question is thna
practically at rest for the present, or till
such time as mi auswor is returned by
Mr. Wheeler. Mr. Marshall, the Demo
cratic member of tba committee, is re
ported aa having expressed the opiniea
that it would lie very difficult to effect an
adjustment whioh would be satisfactory.
This Mardi Gras carnival at Memphis
was rendered highly interesting by the
representation of scenes connected with
the discovery and exploration of America
—the visions, struggles and voyages of
Columbus, Ihe expedition of Ds Soto, Ac.
Everything is reported to have been well
and beautifully executed, and these his
torical representations imparted to the
celebration a character and interest of
the highest kind.
