HOW IT TAKES.
Spirit of the Democratic Press on the St.
Louis Nomination.
TH IS PASSING 15 EL L .
The passing-bell of Radical tyrannj and
misrule and roguery And corruption rings out
to-day from St. Louis over all the land. To
the nomination at Cincinnati of a -pandidate
without a purpose, upon a platform without
a meaning, St. Louis responds to-day with
the nomination of a candidate whose name is
the symbol of unflinching reform, upon a plat
form which means a peaceful revolution in
the whole spirit and conduct of the govern
ment of this country.— N. Y. World.
jOK EXCEEDING,, IMPORTANCE. i *
Tt is an event of exceeding importance, and
we are most grateful'for it. not because it is
in the interest of the Democratic party— for
party as sut-h we Care notbihg—bnt because
it is in the interest of the country, and opens
a way for our escape from the inappreciated
evils and dangers which surround and threat
en the Republic.
It is nk a reformer, and because he is a
reformer, that Mr, Tildcn is selected to lead
the opposition in this centennial year. Pro
fessions and promises of reform are eas} r , and
when they arc uttered merely in behalf of a
party, and for the purposes of an election,
they are almost always worthless; but this
candidate has been tried in the fire and not
found wanting, A%nan of philosophic cast
of mindf mote thofightful about principles
and truths of political doctrine than about
partisan success and the applications of par
ty patronage, he became conspicuous on the
stage of political affairs, not as an enemy of
public plunder in the abstract, or as the as
sailant of thieves and robbers belonging to
the other party merely, but as having laid his
hand upon the thieves and robbers of his own
party, scourging them from their seats of
power, and bringing 'them before the courts,
where they have been tried, found guilty and
sentenced to the penitentiary.
.Such a nomination cannot fail to excite in
every part rtf the country the most hearty and
hopeful enthusiasm. We admit no doubt of
its success. Our people are not so dull or so
careless as not to know what is at stake in
this election. From this day forward, until
the end of the canvass, we look to see a
growing zeal and an increasing courage and
resolution on the part of those who support
Mr. Tilden as the representative and the
agent of reform. Independent men every
where, who wear tlie collar of no party and
desire the good of the country, will rally
around him with earnest hearts.— N. Y. Sun.
THE NEXT PRESIDENT.
The St. Louis Convention yesterday nam
ed the man who will be the next President of
the United States. There were two strong
men before the convention—Samuel J. Til
den and Winfield Scott Hancock. Either of
them could have carried the country next
November, but the banner has been placed
in the hands of Mr. Tilden, and the rare good
fortune has come to him to lead the great
Democratic party to victory in perhaps the
most important national convention that has
taken place in our history. The convention,
so far as the first name on the ticket goes,
has done its work, and done it well. Funn
every section of the country—from Maine to
Louisiana, and from New York to the cx
trcinest point of the extreme West, there will
go up this morning the glad shout from a
sorely oppressed people that a man has been
placed in nomination for ’their chief Execu
tivo whrteft name is the terror of evil doers;
who is the foremost champion of reform in all
the land.— Baltimore Gazette.
TILDEN AND HENDRICKS.
The St. Louis Convention yesterday com
pleted its good work by nominating Govern
or Hendricks Cor Vicc-l’resident. The ban
ner of Tilden and Hendricks is nailed to tiic
Democratic mast-head, and under it the De
mocracy and all other friends of good govern
ment, whose Jove of country has not been
chilled by party prejudice, will rally for the
good fight for reform. As gubernatorial can
didates, each of the nominees carried his
State against great odds. Neither of the no
minees is a great or small unknown. Each
has made a capital Governor, and has a re
cord of public services that gives every assu
rance of elliciency and a desire to improve the
character of the public service. One is from
the East, the other is from the West, and the
North and South can cordially unite on both.
There is no spot or blemish on the personal
reputation of either, and together they present
the embodiment of that effort of the country
toward administrative reform which showed
itself ju the Cincinnati Convention only to
be ignominiously ejected, but which from'the
first step to the last, was the controlling influ
ence of the convention at St.
ville Courier-Journal.
oov. Hendricks’s nomination.
The nomination of Gov. Hendricks for the
second place on the ticket is not really a sur
prise,* for tens of thousands of Democrats
throughout the country have earnestly hoped
that Tilden and Hendricks or Hendricks and
Tilden would he the choice of the convention
for the ollioes.
The name of Gov. Hendricks adds to the
character of the ticket, making it the strong
est that has been named since the days when
Andrew Jackson captured the hearts of the
American people, and gave to the country an
administration in the interest of the greatest
number of its citizens. That Governor 11.
will recognize it his duty to accept the nomi
nation, so unanimously given, we have no
doubt. It is a high and honorable position,
and is the spontaneous offering of the Demo
cracy to one of its pure and gifted leaders.
Tilden and Hendricks will sweep the conn
fry as has never before been witnessed in a
Presidential contest. The East and West,
the North and the South, will accept the nom
inations as a settlement of all differences,
and make the centennial year a year of jubi
lee to the country by relieving the people of
a corrupt administration. —New Albany (Ind.'S j
Ledger--Standard.
IN THIS SION CONQUEST.
In the nomination of Samuel J. Tilden,
there is a deeper significance than ever be
fore attached to the selection of a Presiden
tial candidate. It is a nomination, also, that
Iras a deeper origin than ever before attach
ed to the choice of a political party. It
may be considered, indeed, and in no doubt
ful sense, the outcropping of a necessity ne
ver before known in the history of the coun
try, for no other man in American public life !
so thoroughly embodies the crowning, impe
rious, exacting, all-permeating idea of nation
al reform, as the distinguished gentleman
who was yesterday designated for the first
place in the gift of ihe American people.—
St. bouts Times.
Ihe Philadelphia Times, an independent
paper, says: “ If the old Democratic ship is
to go down in the coming struggle, it will at
least go down with colors flying and its offi
cers at their posts.*’
THE FARM.
Fertilizers in Georgia.
From Dr. Thomas P. .Janes, Commissioner
of Agriculture, we have received his circular
on “ Analysis and Statistics of Fertilizers
sold inf Georgia during 1875-G.”
$ r - ns at Savannah inspected 30,284
tons of-guano. There were shipped from Sa
vannah 49,750 tons, an excess of 12,484 tons
over that inspected arising from through ship
ments.
O. P. Fitzsimmons at Augusta reports re
ceipts of guano at that point 17,379 tons—
of this 1,840 tons were left over.
Dr. J. S. Lawton, of Atlanta, inspected 6,-
660 tons.
Dr. J. W. Janes, at Rome, inspected 750
tons.
Dr. J. Emmett Blackshear, of Macon, in
spected 140 tons of Hunt, Rankin & Lamar’s
home made fertilizer. 45 tons left over.
Dr. G. C. Wheeler, at Graysville, inspected
103 tons of Gray's fertilizing compound.
5,538 tons were sold at Athens, and 186
tons left over.
September 1,1875, 3,987 tons were leftover.
September 1, 1876, 2,760 tons were left over.
During 1875-6, 56,316 tons were inspected.
The average commercial value of fertilizers
Jr L 1
sold in 1874-n was $36.68 ; in 1875-6, $44.83,
an increase of $6.15, or nearly 16 per cent,
in one year.
The average price per-ton in 1874-5 was
$50.38; in 1875-6, $46.63.
Taking together the improvement in quality
and the reduction in price, we have a practi
cal reduction in favor of the consumer of
twenty-three and four one-hundredths per
cent., or $9.88 per ton, or on the 56,596 tons
sold in the State, a saving to the whole State
'of $559,168.48 —mainly the result of the pub
lications issued from this Department, through
which the various brands have been brought
into direct competition on their merits.
Again, the sale of several brands of low
grade has been forbidden. Others have been
driven from the market by the contrast which
was made of their quality with that of other
brands of high grade.
The average time price is $54.94, or 2* per
cent, a month on the average cash price.
The average cotton option price is $61.13,
or nearly four per cent, a month on the cash
price.
The average cash price of the non-ammo
niated fertilizers, 1874-5, was $43.91 ; in
1875-6, $38.60, a reduction on this class of
fertilizers of $5.31 per ton, or 12 percent, on
the price of 1874-5. The average commercial
value of non-ammoniated fertilizers in 1874-5
was $36.47, in 1875-6 it is $43.65, making an
improvement in quality in this class of fertil
izers of $7.18, or 1G per cent, on that of 1874-5.
The total improvement, therefore, in this
class, is 28 per cent. Six thousand four hun
dred and forty-nine tons of this class of fer
tilizers have been used this year for compost
ing. Correspondents report 46 per cent, of
all the fertilizers purchased, composted.
Those who had failed to protect their home
manures used the ammoniated fertilizers for
composting; 26,034 tons were used in com
post in the State, and 30,662 tons used with
out composting.
As experience has shown that the compost,
properly made, if of equal agricultural value
with the best commercial fertilizers, the 26,-
034 tons, compost to one of the commercial
fertilizer, were equivalent to 104,136 tons of
compost, which, added to the 30,562 tons used
without composting, makes the whole number
of tons of commercial fertilizers and compost
used iu the State this year, 134,698.
These 104.135 tons of compost, at the lib
eral estimate of an average outlay in cash of
fifteen dollars per ton, cost $1,562,040 —but
little over half what 56,590 tons of commercial
fertilizers cost, though of equal agricultural
value per ton with the best ammoniated com
pounds.
The average cash price of fertilizers, hav
ing over one per cent, of ammonia, in 1874-5,
was $53.15 —in 1875-6, the average cash price
of the same class of fertilizers was $50.07
a reduction in price of $3.09, or £ per cent,
less than the price of 1874-5.
The average commercial value of those hav
ing more than one per cent, of ammonia was,
in 1874-5, $40.6*5 ; in 1875-6, $47.70, an im
provement in quality of $6.05, or 13 percent.,
making a practical improvement in favor of
the consumer of 18.8 per cent.
The 56,596 tons inspected and sold in the
State cost, at the average cash price per ton,
$2,640,203.40 —$559,168.58. less than the
same number of tons would have cost at the
quality and price of the preceeding season.
Crediting the improvement in quality to
the work of the department, it has saved to
the fanners of Georgia, in this way alone,
$348,065.40 in one year. Add to this the
amount saved by the more general adoption
of the compost in consequence of its recom
mendation in previous circulars, and a mil
lion dollars will not cover the amount saved
to the farmers of Georgia in fertilizers alone
by the work of the Department.
The correspondents of the Department re
port only fourteen per cent, of the fertilizers
purchased during the last season paid for in
cash, the remaining eighty-six per cent, hav
ing been bought principally at the cotton op
tion price, to be paid for in cotton next No
vember at 15c per pound. The fertilizer ac
count of the State stands, then, about as fol
lows :
Paid in cash....' $ 360,628 47
lo be paid in cotton next November, 2,975,353 59
Total 83,344,982 06
The table contains the analysis of 108
brands of fertilizers and fertilizing chemicals.
Of these
2 are of chemicals,
7 are of natural guanos.
2 are alkaline fertilizers, based to some ex
tent on the “Mineral Theory” of fertilization.
96 are manufactured articles, made in ac
cordance with the usual theory of fertilization.

SUNDAY READING-.
The Precious.Blood.
I was sitting one day by the bedside of a
dying woman, and I wanted to know whether
she was resting upon her Saviour. So I said
to her, “ Suppose you were standing knock
ing at the gates of heaven, and a bright angel
were to come and ask you, ‘ What have you
to say for yourself, that I should open the
gate and let you in ?’ —what would you say?”
The woman, with gasping breath, answered
me, “ I would say, the blood of Jesus Christ
Ilis Son cleanseth me from all sin.” I did
thank God for that answer; and I told her
that the golden gates would fly open the mo
ment she said those words. She knew the
blessed truth, that it is the blood of Christ
which maketh atonement for the sinful soul
of every one that believeth. Precious indeed
was that blood to her—precious when every
thing else was utterly valueless.
I knew one who for many years was seek
ing to obtain the favor of God by keeping Ilis
commandments. “ I used to read my Bible,”
she told me, “ and it seemed to condemn me
everywhere—it made me miserable. I have
gone on my knees and asked God to help me
to live lip to the commandments; but the
more I read and tried, the more miserable I
got. But one day my eyes fell on these words,
‘ The blood of Jesus Christ Ilis Son cleanseth
me from all sinand I thought, Well, then,
the blood of Jesus Christ cleanses me from
my sin ; and I believed it, and praised God
for it.” She had read that verse (1 John i. 7)
often before, but she had never in her heart
believed it till that day. Then her heart was
filled with gratitude and with devoted love to
God. Before, the blood was precious ; now
it was precious to her.
Reader, is the blood precious to you ? Is
your sin cleansed ? Perhaps, conscious of
your weakness, frightened by your past fail
ures, you shrink from believing, lest you
should sin again afterwards. But if you do
sin again, you can use this text again. It is
true to-day, it will be true to-morrow, and for
ever. A believer said to me one day, “ There
is one text I use every day of my life.” (It
is a grand thing to know how to use Scripture.
The Bible is a treasury full of gracious prom
ises. Oh, let us learn the holy art of using
them!) The text this good man used was
this: “ The blood of Jesus Christ His Son
cleanseth us from all sin.” lie said, “I feel
I sin every day, though I try not to sin ; and
when night comes, I use that text. I say it,
and believe it; and so, when I lie down on
my bed, I know that all my sins are washed
away.”— Rev. J. E. Sampson.
A Trying Test.
There are many tests in the Bible; one of
which is contained in 1 John 2:15—“ If any
man love the world, the love of the Father is
not in him.” By the world here, is meant
the things of the world, such as its honors,
riches, pleasures and fashions. All these hold
out strong temptations to the natural heart,
and draw away its affections from God. Nor
after a person has been renewed by the Holy
Spirit, do they wholly lose all their influence
over him. lie is sanctified but in part, and
they still make their powerful appeals to the
old man that is }-et unsubdued. There is de
mand for firm and persistent resistance. llow
hard to be in the world, and not of the world !
And yet Christ says that so it is with respect
to his people. “They are not of the world,
even as lam not of the world.” He was in
different to all its attractions. They had no
power over him. All the kingdoms of the
world are the glory of them ; all its riches,
all its fascinations, were to him as though
they were not. And in this, as well in other
things, he is an example to his followers.—
They are to be imitators of him. They are
to live above the world. Their affections are
to be on heavenly things. And if they are
not so, if they are not there supremely, then
the love of the Father is not in them, and
they are not Christ s true disciples.
This being the case, how many who prefer
to be his who say, “Lord, Lord,” will be dis
owned by him in the great deciding day ?
The world with them is uppermost. Their
affections are supremely upon it. They give
it a larger place in their hearts than they
give to the Lord Jesus Christ. And so they
are his only in name ; and he will finally say
unto them : “ I never knew you.” It is a
great thing to be a Christian. There must
be a renunciation of the world. There must
be a surrender of the heart to Christ, and a
determined living unto him. Christ, and not
the world, must be supreme.— ll. S., in Neiv
York Observer.
Duty and Pleasure.
Sometimes we make a great mistake, and
talk about Duty and Pleasure, as though they
were bitter enemies who could never live in
the same house. Though it may sound very
funny to you, yet it is quite true, that to do
what we don’t like is one of the pleasantest
things in the world. It isn’t always so ; and
just at first it often does not seem so. For
instance, it wasn't very pleasant for Lizzie,
last Thursday, when she was curled up in the
arm-chair, reading a story book, with pussv
sleeping in her lap, to have grandmamma
come in, and hear Must saj% “Lizzie, get up,
and let grandma have that chair.” But when
she got up, and grandma kissed her, and said,
“ Thank you, dear,” I’m sure Lizzie knew
something about how pleasant it is to do
what you don’t like.
Canon Kingsley says that a boy is not
worth anything until he has learnt to do what
he does not like. St. Paul tells us that “ even
Christ pleased not Himself;” and Jesus says,
“ I came down from heaven, not to do Mine
own will.” It was not a pleasant thing for
Jesus to live a suffering life and die on the
cross. The scourge and the nails hurt Him
as much as they would you or me. If He had
pleased Himself He would never have left the
beautiful home above, and the holy angels, to
be the Friend of sinners. And yet there was
a true pleasure in all this pain. It was “ for
the joy that was set before Him” that He “en
dured the cross, despising the shame.”
HUMOROUS.
A Texas man returned a napkin to a hotel
waiter with thanks ; saying that his cold was
not very bad*
Judge : “Have you anything to offer to
the court before sentence is passed on you ?”
Prisoner: “ No, Judge. I had ten dollars ;
but my lawyers took that.”
“ Why is it,” queried Quiz, “ that when you
notice a young married man who is bald
headed, you turn to look immediately at the
muscular power of the wife’s hand ?”
A man being asked, as he lay sunning him
self on the grass, what was the height of his
ambition, replied, “To marry a rich widow
with a bad cough.”
An Irishman in Chicago says his boarding
house keeper must be a chess-player, because
she “pawns” the boarders’ clothes, and gives
them “stalemate.”
Irascible Gent (to • waiter) —“They say
there’s nothing like leather, don’t they ?”
“Yes, sir.” “Then it’s a lie, for this steak
is!” (Waiter evaporates.)
Another conscientious man is opposed to
opening the Centennial Exhibition on Sun
day. lie says Sunday is the only time he
gets to go fishing.
A witty pastor once remarked that there
was just as much family government now as
ever ; but formerly parents governed children,
now children govern parents.
Josh Billings says: “The mewl is a larger
burd than the guse or turkey. It has two
legs to walk with and two more to kick with,
and it wears it wings on the side of its lied.”
A Leavenworth man told a lie, and then
said : “I hope to be struck dead if I have
not spoken the truth l” lie hai scarcely
ceased speaking when he fell to the floor—a
man having knocked him down.
Running Antelope, a Sioux Chief, says
that when he learned that the white men had
killed their Saviour lie was astonished, but
he changed his mind when he got better ac
quainted with them.
“Mamma” asked a precious youngster at
the tea-table the other evening, after a long
and yearning gaze toward a plate of dough
nuts, “Mamma, do you think I could stand
another of those fried holes ?” She thought
O
lie could.
Little Alice was crying bitterly'-, and on
being questioned, confessed to have received
a slap from one of her playfellows. “You
should have returned it,” unwisely said the
questioner. “Oh, I returned it before,” said
the little girl.
“Ilark I hear an angel sing,” sang a
young man in an outside township school
exhibition. “No, *tain’t” shouted an old
farmer in one of the back seats, “it’s only
1113' old mule that’s hitched outside.” The
young man broke down and quit.
“Now, my dear Jane, how do you think
