Tim Solid South
In the great scare-crow that Re
publican Icadent are holding up to
the Northern people to keep them
iti party line; and it must lie con
fessed that thus tar the effort hae
If on croaned with cumplelo suc-
oe»».
For nuiself we would be glad to
know that a “solid South" and a
"Solid North" were things of the
past; and there is no doubt in our
imud that the ssmo thing i« desir
ed by all our people. We fear
Chat on the other hand there is lit
tle ground to doubt that these
same Kepublieaus who pretend to
he horror stricken with the idea of
a solid Democratic South, and
censure us for it in unmeasured
terms, actually desire to perpetuate
the present ratus of parties in the
South. It is true they disclaim
any such intention; but, “acts
apeak louder than words"; and
therefore, while Republican sena
tors get up everyday in the Unit
ed States 8enate and drag from
the slimy slough of slander.the vile
lies and truthless tales of outrages
and murders in the South, and
make them the texts upon which to
found long speeches of hatred and
abuse, we must confess that we fail
to perceive the exhibition of any
friendly feeling towards our people.
Again, when we are almost daily
reminded by the acts of that party
that the surest and speediest pass
port that a Southern man can pos-
aess 'o Republican favor is to Blan
der and abuse bis people, there is
ft appears to us little ground to
hope for any real assistance from
the Repub'ioan parly in effecting a
change of the South,
h is true that Republicans
claim that they favor Mahone
i t Id om»r gtrnvs, because they
have nunnuuced themselves in fa
vor ot a "freee ballot and a fair
c. nut.” But this is all pretence
No man in this country has an
nounced himself more clearly and
enjphntically in favor of a “free
ballot and a fair count," than has
enator Browu of this State. Id
»«et eveiy Democrat of any promi
nence in the party, has said, and
what is more, in out judgement,
menus the same thing. Yet not
withstanding these honest profes-
tions, Republicans are as tar trom
giving Senator Brown any favors
ns if he had never said anything
about a “fair ballot and a free
count. ”
The truth is, Republicans are in
favor of Republican votes and any
count that will count in their can
didates us was demonstrated by
the Hayes fraud in 1876, and as
showu by laws now in force in
Massachusetts and other New En
gland States; by force of which, ac
cording to the admission of Senator
I'"rye, sufficient numbers of Demo
ctatic votes are excluded to keep
those States under the control of
the Republican party. Upon the
whole, we conclude that so long ns
Republicans can perpetuate hpc-
tlonal strife and hate they will pur
sue that line of policy. lithe po
litical stasvs of the two sections is
ever to be changed it must in a
great measure be affected by the
South. Can this change be
wrought by us? We think perhaps
there it ground to hope that
may succeed in the effort.
The question naturally arises,
tow is this desirable re.-ult to be
\ ibtained P We answer—and we get
Mrs idea from our contemporary the
A that* Constitution—, that our
opium ust in a great measure es-
ew national politics and devot-
eir energy and capital to devel-
ing the magnificent resources of
t South,- The tariff Iuwb will be
favorable to the Southern maun
acturer—whether of cotton or of
n-, as to Northern enterprises ot
e character. Let our people al
i keep their smoke-houses and
sra caibs at home and not hun-
lof miles away, as now; then
) to it, that every man,
r of “race, color or previ-
ditien" is fully protected in

Thete are many modes of prov
ing contracts. They can lie proved
by direct and explicit, or by indi
rect and ciicumstanoiul evidences;
or the exUteuce of the contract may
be inferred trom circumstances.
By virtue of well-established
doctrines like the**, millions of
property change hands under judg
menta obtained in the courts every
month in the year. The same gen
eral rules of evidence prevail on the
trial of indictments for crime. In
accordance with these old fashioned
ruies, men are sent to penitentia
ries and to the gallows in all the
States.
Mahone entered the Senate as an
Independent Democrat. If, at the
outset, he had declared that to
punish his opponents of the domi
nant element of the Virginia De
mocracy he should vote with the
Republicans, but would take noth
ing from them in return; the coun
try would have understood him,
and a certain class of politicians
might have felt some re*-p ot foi
him. Hut when he is seen in th«*
room adjoiuing that in which th
Republican caucus of Senators is
sitting, and when the outcome i*
the nomination of his man Riddle-
herger, a Confederate repudiator.
for sergeant-af-arms; and when
thereafter Mahone votes all the
time with the Republicans on eve
ry question that arises, the proof of
a contract between him and the
Republican leaders in the Senate is
irresis table.
The heated debates in the Senate
seem to indicate that Mahone
stands ready to challenge and
shoot,- if he can, any Senator who
charges that a contract was made

We Bee it stated that the graiD
growers of Calitornia have cotne to
the conclusion that the low price ot
wheat in the Snnfrancisco market
and.the difficulty of disposing of it
prevailing for three months, are
attribntab e to the middlemen,
through whose hands their crops
pass on their way to market,and to
the practise of mixing good aud bad
wheat by the dealers, whereby the
standard of Calif m>ia grain is im
paired. To reni'-dy the tinnhle
they propose to organize and sli p
their crops tlenseives, without al-
lowing them to pasB through the
hands of middlemen, who, they us-
s-rt, make all the profi's. One
plan is to have agencies to take
charge of nil wheat sent to the
ports of shipment. and send it to
erpool in chartered vessels on
the farmers’ account, holding it
hack when shipping rates are high
nnd prices low, anil handling th"
crop so as to secure the most ad
vantageous results lor the farmer.
11 was stated at a meeting of wheat
growers held at San Francisco la-t
week, that thd*8onthern California
railroad company had proposed to
Rhip wheat through to Liverpool by
way ot Galveston at $15 a ton.
This is 45 cents a bu«hel—a very
low rate tor carrying grain one
fourth the way round the world.—

FEEDING GREEN OATS.
As the Beasnn is near at hand
when mnny farmers, fiom scarcity
of corn,commence feeding on greeu
oats, we will give a word of advice
as received from one of our most
practical farmers. He sayB the
habit of cutting oats while in the
milk or dough slate and letting
them partially dry before feeding,
i'b a dangerou.one, and annually
leads to disease and often death
among horses and mules. When
treated in this wny the oat sours,
and fed in thiB condition is un
wholesome and dangerous. He
advises all who feed upon oatB be
fore they are fully matujed to give
them freshly cut. He has had
thirty or forty years experience in
farming and the caro of a large
number ol horses and muleB, aud
his opinionr are worthy of atten
tion —Ex.
We are told that Mr. John H.
James, one of the directors of the
Georgia railroad, made $100,000
by the lease. Knowing when and
how the lease was to he effected he
bought np stock in time to tteame
this great sum of money. Now the
question occrus tot an inquiring
mind what sort of business morali
ty doss this action represent?
A friend who is successful ic
alincst every enterprise undertaken,
told us a few days ago of a nova I
way in which he had freed his pluee
of every destructive hawk, and the
plan seems so feasible that we pub
lish it for the benefit of poul'ry
raisers nnd commend a trial. The
lmwk in question was a “blue dart
er”—the most cunning as well as
the rnose destructive of the hswks
He had taken to our friend’s pnul-
tiy yard and was rapidly depleting
the s’oek of little ciiickens. Every
attempt to kill him proved futile,
although his visits were frequent.
The setting of a trap suggested
itself to the mind of our friend,
and the experiment was made. -A
small trap was constructed and in
thi3 a little live chick wAs placed.
Over this little trap a large one
was set. A ! 1 the fowls on the place
were conned for the day, and the
family left home to pay a visit to a
neighbor. On their return in the
nft-rnnou the hawk was found in
the trap. Our friend thinks the
plan worth trying, an I believe-
that il the trap is plaeed in the vi-
inity of where the hawk is in the
habit of making his raids upon the
fowls, it will prove succ sstul.—

Lawrence Leis, Jr., n l id of
twelve, died in New Brunswick
yeeterday morning ol hyrfcophobi,
resulting from a dog's bite. In
August last a large hound start d
down Rem-en street, where Lei-
lived, pursued by a crowd of boys
who had lieen irritating the dog.
As the Jlulfnd ‘passed Leis the boy
li'led a stone and threw it at him, 1 *
whereupon the dog sprang upon
the boy and bit him twice in the
left arm pit, badly lacerating the
urni and breast. The dog whs
chused around town until he
sprang into thiv- canal and vgu*
drowned. Yo'.ng Leis' wounds
were cauterized, and soon healed.

the bite until last Tuesday n ght.
Then hiB father senr for Dr. T. A.

and watchful. That day he had
been stru< k by a large Btone in the
right arm pit directly opposite the
t ilacu where he had been biit.-n,and
lis father attribut d the utleasiue s
to this blow.
Dr. Skillman found the buy sit

fixed upon some distant object.
The physician knew nothing of the
bite, but soon the symptoms of hy
