TUESDAY FEBRUARY IB, 1875.
The Kellogg Lf>B‘* lat, > r " i ‘ inveEtigating
the seoonnts of the Bteto Auditor, end it
i« regarded as rather a sn«pioions oircnm-
stance that when the evidence of tho
Warrant Clerk was called for, it was
fonnd that bo had to go , to Culm a few
days previous. He is regarded as one of
the most important witnesses.
The gas controversy in Kaoiville, Ten
nessee, has resnitod in a redaction of tho
prioe from five to three dollars per thous
and oubic feet. Many of tho oitizens had
discontinued the nse of gas on acoount of
the price, but when the reduction was
announced the metres were replaced in
stores and dwellings.
The New York Horald is still calling
npon Gen. Grant to resign. It insists
that the Arkansas message makes this
step unavoidable, if he wishes to preserve
the Republican party from utter destrno
tion. Other people are giviug expression
to a kindred feeling in another way.
On tho 8th iust. Mr. Schnrz presented to
the Senate a memorial of a number of
citizens asking the abolition of the office
of President. They can see how the
President can abase his power, and want
to froe the country from tho danger of
having another Grant us chief oxeoutive.
KOBE TAXATION OPPOSED.
We are glad to see that the Democrats
in Congross aro making stout opposition
to an incroaso of taxes, cither by internal
revenue or higher tariff dutios. The bet
ter policy is to cut down expenses to the
revenue, ruther than to increase the reve
nue to the expenses. Air. Wood of New
York, in his Npeech in the House th
other day, showed that even within the
last two or three years there has been an
increase of tho expensos of the Govern
rnent, and (bat this is the reason why the
balances are not more Hitisfaotory. Tho
net ordinary expenses of the Government
which wore.one hundred and lifty-three
million dollars in 1872, wora increased to
one hundred and eighty millions iu 1878,
and to one-hundred and ninety-four mil
lions in 1874—an increase of thirty-one
millions in two years. There is no great
reason why they should lie greater now
Hum in 1872, and if they were reduced by
wise economy to the samo amount there
would be no sort of necessity for impos
ing additional taxes.
Mr. Wood also contended that there
was no neoessily for ndding to the sink
ing fund at a time when the revenuo was
inadequate. That fund will reooive but
slow accumulation at best, and contribu
lions to it might well bo suspended while
the trade of the country continues so tin
satisfactory.
There is good reason for the suspicion
that tlie Administration wants additional
revenue and large appropriations to enable
it to maintain a largo military and con
atabnlary force in the Southern States
ns a means of intimidating and har-
rnssiug tbo people and carrying eleo<
lions. This well grounded suspicion fur
nishes another good reason for opposition
to higher taxes.
ME ITU—•HOWAlt D.
The Atlanta Herald of Sunday pub
lishes a long communication from Mr.
B. Howard, iu reply to Governor Smith
lecent message to tbo Legislature. W
must summarize this reply, ns we did the
Governor's communication. Mr. Ilo
ard says that tho Legislature called on
Govniuoi Smith for all the information
in his possession iu veferonce
Howard’s claim, but, the Governor with
held au important pari, viz: the report
of General Phillips, of Oobb county, who
was appointed by tho Governor to exam
ino into the matter, and who reported
favor of the claim and that tho evidonoo
was cloarly in Howard's favor. Mr. Ho
ard also says I lint Mr. (luyler’s bond was
more than “defective,'! as stated by the
Governor—it was fraudulent, beonuse it
contained tho name of a gentleman used
without his knowledge or authority; also
that it promised, until altered, to distri
bute onlr a portion of tbo books; also
that Mr. Howard charged fraud ns to the
date of Onyler's bid, and that it was really
made out by Dunlap, and the Governor
appointed a time to hc.tr evidence on
these charges, but failed to go into the
examination, announcing his pnrposo to
“rub ont nnd coiumeuce anew.” Mr.
Howard immediately enlerod his protest,
which the Governor had at tbo time of
his putting iu his second bid. lie gives
a number of suspicious circumstances
suggostive of fraud on Cuyler’s part. In
nuswer to Governor Smith’s statement
that the distribution of the laws and
journals of tho last session of tho Legis
lature was made directly from tho Libra
ry nt a coat of only 15, Mr. How
ard says:
Tho Governor, in the above sentence,
leaves you uudor tho impression that I
might have douo tho work for the same
amount. He might have stated, and had
credit for more fairness, tbnt the mode of
distributing tho laws has been changed,
and it is made the duty of the Librarian
to ship them to the railroad depot neatest
the county site, and let the Ordinaries get
them as they umy. Formerly, the con
tractor was required to deliver them into
the court-houses. I denounced the old
plan, last wiDter, ns extravagant and un
necessary. und that it was a part of tho
Librarian's duties, or ought to be, und I
have no doubt my controversy on this
subject brought about tho chango. Whou
you consider that they have uovt r been
distributed for less than $2,000 before,
nnd that $8,500 has boon paid for the
same service, I think I deserve some
credit for bringing about tho change-
stopping irregularities and “defects,"
and reducing the cost for distributing
the laws down to the itasonablo sum of
$340.15. .
The Houston Horn* Journal has this
to say concerning a distinguished minis
ter well-known sud much admired here:
We learn from an exchange that the
Rev. Mr. Holland, known as the “ boy
preacher," who reoently left the Methodist
und joined the Episoopal church, has
gone over to the Universaliefs. He is at
present in St. Louis, we believe. He was
well known in this county as an eloqnout
and powerful preacher when he was n
mere youth, and unless we are mistaken,
wm married in this county.
GAT THE GROUND HOG !
We remarked, when tho second Con-
grcsiional Committee was shout to start
New Orleans, that there was no use in
the Conservatives making any farther
effort to represent Louisiana Affairs to
Congress in their true light, as the Radi
cal party were in the predicament of the
boy after tho ground hog, and would
never stop until they got litm. For this
reason wo wanted their report to be alto
gether parte, both so far as tho com
mittee end its witnesses were concerned.
But the Conservatives determined to go
into the unequal contest again. Wo have
now an inkling of the report, from whioh
we learn that it is all that Grant, Kel
logg and other ltndied extremists desire.
would have been better for our friends,
after convincing a fair Republican com
mittee of the justice of their cause and
the falsehood of tho slanders against the
hite people of Louisiana, to have stood
by their record nnd had nothing to do
with a secoud committee, which evidently
went with the design of making a report
different from that of the first. TbiB
wonld havo been a stand compatible
with both s consciousness of right on
their side nnd their self-respect—both of
which, wo fear, have boon woakoued by
their standing a second trial before euch
judges and their Into proposes to com
promise.
The rejection by the Radical Commit
tee of the Conservative offer of compro
mise is of itself sufficient to show a de
termination to make a party report in
favor of Kellogg and against the white
poople of Louisians. The Conservative
oancus, at its meeting on th9 11th inst.,
resolved to make au authoritative publi
cation of the compromise whioh it offered,
and of the diapatob of Air. Wheeler an
nouncing itH rejection. We oopy from
this publication:
Herewith ia given the full text of the
plan of compromise submitted by the
Conservatives to Mr. Wheeler, end the
latter's reply :
1. The election of 1872 now before
Congress not to be included in tho ad
justment.
2. Tho oloction of Treasurer and mem
bers to the General Assembly of 1874 to
be submitted to Alessrs. Hoar, Frye,
Wheeler and Marshall, it being distinctly
understood that those returned, both by
the Returning Board and the Conserva
tive Committee, to lie aoeopted as legally
elected.
3. Tire House of Representatives to be
organized dr novo, on the basis of the
Committee's award.
4. The ilonae of Rcpreaentstivos, when
orgnuized, to send to W. P. Kellogg, act
ing Governor, and to the Senate as con
stituted by award of Ibis committee,
taussiigi) informing them that the House
is organized and ready to proceed to bus
iness.
5. The Conservative motubors to sign
uu agreement, wbilo not opposing or
recognizing tire legality of tho govern
ninnt known ns the Kellogg government,
not lo disturb the executive because of
his past political acts so long as he is uns-
tair.ed by the l'residont.
(i. Tho mornbera of tho Honse of Rep-
rcHeutatives as returned by the arbitra
tors, not to be changed exeept by dontb
resignation, or expulsion for jUHt oauso.
7. Houators returned by arbitrators to
bo Heated.
This was adopted by a voto 5!) to 8, and
a committee appointed to give it to Air.
Wheeler.
The following is Mr. Wheeler's tele
gram announcing their rejeotion:
Momr.K, Foil 1*.—lion. John Young,
Chairman, 8t. James Hotel: Proposition
uot accepted. W. H. Wukh.eu.
This proposod compromise, it will be
seen, authorized tho Congressional Com
mittee (n imposed of Ihreo Radicals and
onuDcmocrnt) to decide what members
had boeu olootod to the Legislature in all
contested casos, ami pledged the Conserv
atives to abide by the arbitration and ac
cept the Legislature thus constituted. It
also hound the ConHervutivos uot to dis
turb Kellogg as Governor, for any of bis
post nets, us long as Gouoral Grant should
recognizu him ns Governor. Can any one
imagine why n proposition like this
should have been rejected, if the Con
gressional Committee roaliy desired to do
jnstico and restore peace to Louisiana ?
Was it uot a surrender of every disputed
point, oxcept tho cleotiou of 1872 (whiob
is before Congress iu a practical shape for
its decision) to the judgment and fairness
of tho Committee't In our opinion, it
was an offer to abandon nearly all the
ground upon which the Conservatives
stood. Yot Iho oonnuittee rejeoted it and
hurried back to Washington to make a ro-
port such ns our dispatches indicate. It
may truly be said that tbe Conservatives
injured their own cause by the offer to
compromise, and gained nothing by it
lint insult and abuse.
ANOTHER TALK TO TABS!ERR.
Cunious. — A writer in the Romo Cou
rier recommends, as a measure of house-
hold economy, that people discontinue
tho nse of corn bread and use flour bread
instosd. Ho .says that corn meal costs
two and a half cents a pound, and does
not increase iu oooking, while flour,
which costs three or four cent! a pound,
inoreesee fifty or sixty per cent, in oook
ing. We do not know whether these fig
ures are entirely accurate, or whethor the
flottr gains in nutrition iu proportion to
its iucreaso in weight. But tho curions
part, to which wo wish to direct atten
tion, is the fact that iu a section of coun
try peculiarly adapted to tho oheap raising
of corn, we nro advised, on the score of
economy, to discontinue its use for bread
and substitute wheat grown mostly in an
other aoction. The suggestion proves
how inadequate is tbe corn crop of the
South ; nnd we disregard our own interest
iu uot raising it at fifty cents per bushel,
or about one cent per pound, instead of
producing so little that wheat at three or
four cents a pound is considered the
cheapest for bread. Our poople should
remember that the worth of a thing (like
cotton) is not simply what it will bring in
money, hut what is costs to produce it.
—The trial of Oapt. R. F. Akin, for eu-
gaging in a duel several years ago, was
commenced in the Superior Court of
Chatham county on Thursday. But the
principal wituess fur tho prosecution (one
of the physicians who accompanied the
duelling party) having determined not to
testify, Solicitor Lamar anuonnoed that
f set to the court, and stated that as it had
been judicially decided that the wituess
could uot lie compelled to give evidence
which might oriiuinate himself, the State
would he UDable to proceed. Judgo
Thompkins agreed with him as to the im
possibility of compelling the witneaa to
testify, and a nolle pro*, was enterod.
A FACT.
Editor Enquirer: A friend, thinking I
meant war on ahemieal fertilizer* when
in lest week's paper I asked farmers if
they had been good friends of Northern
fertilizer companies, and had helped them
to pay large dividends by running their
credit heavy for tbeir mineral element of
ooast-aand compounds, sent mo a copy of
tbe Atlanta Herald with a well-written
paper by “H" on tbe “Lien and Labor
Question," well-marked and headed by
him, “Yon Can't Throw Rand in Oar
Eyes.” Let me say to him: No, air; my
object is simply to brash the eand ont of
the eyes of farmers—to clear np their
vision an they ean see the cansea of
their past failures and mend their
ways in the fntnre. I write to farmers
who have been losing money by
farminug, who have made cottoa the
one objeot and thought of the past five
years, and who to-day have lees money
and credit than they had then. In tha
hope (it mey be vain) of turning them
from what, to them, hea olearly been a
ruinous course, to one which at least
promises better. “Q.,” in the Herald,
thinks the Lien Law helps small farmers
to buy fertilizers whith, otherwise, they
could not get, end argues that these are
the only successful men now a-days. He
may be right, I am not to be diverted
from my object into a controversy with
him; in faot, I say to all successful men
let well enough alone, and if buying fer-
tilizers will pay, will keep yon out of
debt and pnt money in your pooket, by
all means keep baying them. But it does
seem to me that it is a poor evidence of
success for yon to belabor the Legislature
for the continuance of the Lien
Law to help you to bny
credit the fertilizers which have seonred
your sucoess. You ought to be able in
this time to pay eaeh tor these things.
Whan I see that, I will have more faith in
yonr assertions. But onoe for all on
this branch, let me say that an intelligent
application of any good fertilizer on well
prepared land, rich in vegetable matter,
trill pay; but in my opinion there
has been millions of money thrown away
in some cases for worthless staffs, and in
many others by patting good manures on
lands poorly prepared and destitute of
vegetable matter; and I venture tbe asser
tion here that there is not a single well
authenticated instance of success in the
whole State where any manure, bought or
home-raised, has been applied to land
soratohed with blunt plows, as has bean
seen in half a day's ride from yoor city.
1 make no war on any fertiliser which is
(tear of eand, but I do wzr against my
farmer friends who buy on credit from
year to year, and grow poorer and poorer
as the years roll by, and will never ooaae
my efforts to check them in this mad
career until I am fairly whipped, I say
emphatically that any purely mineral
manure is worthless, yea, injurious to
soils destitute of vegetable matter, and no
farmer has a reasonable right to expeot
profit from their use until he h4a prepared
bis coil for their reception. This he oan
never do so long as hs makes eotton the
only crop of tbe farm, for be mnst keep
the laud clear of grass and weeds until
frost, from year to year, washed by reins
nud parched by tbe Ban, unless he carte in
vegetable matter in some form or other.
Who oan do this on a large scale exeept at
an expenHo greater than the profit ? Then
why delude yourselves with tho hope of
profit or allow yourselves indnoed by
fanoy certificates into the purchase of any
manure until you have complied with the
first great law of fertility and given to
tho olknlies of your soil some
thing on which they oan act, and
out of which they may produoe
the needed acids. This you oan do iu
part, in fact can do only to any extent, by
rednoing the cotton orop and increasing
the grain. If you had one-third of yonr
l^nds iu oats, wheat and rye, one-third in
corn, pease, Ac., and one-third in cotton,
and rotate anually, you -would soon see a
change on all lands nch in lime, besides
tbe fat horses, cows, pigs and chickens,
and comfortable pooketa and independee
of lion laws and credit.
I say again, and beg you this year to
plant more than half, yea, two-thirds of
your plowed lands in provision crops.
You ought to have largo eropa of oats and
wheat in. I hope you have, bat if not it
ia too late now. Do make up with peas,
so that you will have your own supplies
next fall, and you will come through yet;
then yon ean buy what you please, end
p>iy tor it and be men. Somo say I must
have money. Well, read oaiefully tba
following fact and think :
A gontleman of Stewart oonnty, known
well to many of you, for you have hon
ored and trusted him, last year
took one mole out of tbe ordinary
lot nud made with it the following
crops by aotaal maasnrement,
and sold them nt the prices given. See
what be did and try yourself :
was a mania, sad they would follow it to
beggary. Is it true 7 Are they determined
to follow the old route until lands- and
mules are taken for debt and want knaws
at tbeir vitals ?
It is not too late to heed those appeals,
and although they oan't plant the oat and
wheat oropa now, yet they can ont down
cotton and put in corn, peas and pota
toes. Will they 7 I hope Vo.

Consumptives, Takk Notice—Every mo
ment of delay make your cure more hopeless,
anil muoh deponds on the judicious choice of a
roinody. The amount of testimony in favor of
Dr. Schonck’s Pulmonic Syrup, as a ouro for
consumption, far exceeds all that can bo
brought to support the pretentions of any other
medicino. Sou Dr. Schenck’s Almanac, con
taining tho certificates of many persons of tho
hlghost respectability, who have been restored
to health, after being pronounced Incurable by
physicians of acknowledged ability. Schenck’s
Pnlmonie Syrup alone has cured many, as
these evidences will show ; but tho cure is often
promoted by two other remedies which Dr.
Sclienck provides for tho purposo. These ad-
dltioual remedies nre Schouck’s Sea Weed
Tonic nnd Mandrake Pills. By tho timely use
of those medicines, according to direction?, Dr
Scli-nck certifies that most any case of Con’
sumption may be cured.
Dr. Schenck is professionally at his principal
offleo, corner Sixth and Arch Sts, Philadelphia,
every Mon lay, whore all letters for advice
must be addressed.
