Profits in Little Things.
Southern farmers have thought, th.-t
no crop but cotton could be turned into
money. They have, therefore, paid lit
tle or no attention to the minor products
of the farm, such as apples, p< ches
and other products, eggs, butter, honey,
chickens, hides, tallow, etc., and even
wheat, barley, oats and other crops of
similar importance have been neglected
The last season somewhat changed this
opinion in a majority of the farmers.
In Arkansas county the Patrons made
an ariangement last spring with a cer
tain merchant to take in payment for
merchandise anything marketable that
the farmers might bring. A1 onoV w;i-
scarce and another crop uncertain, while
many little articles, of the nature ab> v
stated, were either wasted or unneces
8ariiy consumed, that in larger cities, to
which there was ready access, would
find an eager sale. The result of this
arrangement was, iu the first six ov
seven months of the year 1875, there
had been shipped and sold from the
county about 820,000 worth of products
not before deemed worthy of sale. Bui
for this happy forethought of the Pa-
trons, many farmers eould not have
8U ^*> B «d themselves through the
springp they would have had nothing
to live on while they made a crop, the
merchants being unable to credit them
and then they having no money to pay
for what they needed. This should
teach a lesson to all who neglect th<
seeming'ft - .fles of a farm. Evert thins,
should be utilized. Merchants should
buy every product of the farm whethei
there is mousy in it or not; the good
winch they generally give in exc-hangi
will pay proft enough? Thus will his
sales be increased and the country be
come prosperous.
Mr. Kelly, of r Pennsylvania, deliverer
quite a feeling speech in the House oi
Thursday, favoring amity and good will be
tween the sections. He said the day was
coming when the mementoes of tlie war
would be cherished as a common hei ita<-
by the people North and South, a 3 an evV
dence of courage, skill, and valor, the Sto
says the remarks were applaaded to th;
Dttnocwtg, subsequently Ben Hill walk
*•* cong-mula/ed the spearcr
the national councils.. It is destined to
be as patent to the world as ever it was
before the war, when Calhoun, Clay,
Davis, Hunter, Toombs, Stephens, Mc
Duffie, and the other DU majores of
the Southern statesmanship and oratory
assumed the easy, and natural, and effi
cient direction of American thought
and administrators.
The signal triumphs of the session
as well as the displays of real prudence
haveallbeen the achievements of South
ern representatives. When Congress
assembled, the Radicals defiantly point
ed Blaine as their incomparable Pala
din, in the tourney of-discussion. Yet
he has been repeatedly dragged in th
dust of the arena and boasts no laurel
for his pains. Ben Hill broke the
prestige of Blaine and ~ut upon him
the brand of the parliamentary brawler
I and bully. Recovering from his disas
; t rous encounter with our Georgia Her
[cules, he next sought an encounter with
another Georgian—the peerless Lamar
| who literally dragged about the flagel
; latcd carcass of the Maine bully before
the pleased eye of the country after the
manner of Achilles with the body ot
Hector before the walls of Troy. John
Randolph Tucker, a Virginian, has
earned most honorable distinction as
debater and expounder, and despite his
ultraisin and tendency at times to th
didactic and doctrinaire method of dis
cussion, has done no little towards
awakening the sluggish perceptions of
the North to the fact thatours is a gov
ernment of constitutional limits and
barriers, and that in the word revelry
of Radicalism the science of govern
rnent has not been wholly forgotten.
The sum of Southern successes at
Washington has been very considerable
within a few months past. By com
mon consent the South gives in Larnai
ih ' safest leader that the Democracy
lias had since Southern statesmen re
Mngnishcrl its control fifteen years ago
In Ben Hill the South gives the De
mocracy the best debater in either body,
and in . Randolph Tucker one of its
dearest constitutional expounders. In
(he Federal-Senate, North Carolina has
placed Ransom, we trust to keep him
there. for many lerms to come, and in
Ransom the Democracy have a states
nan largly endowed with the best qua!
ries of leadership. Ransom, indeed,
inks at Washington with Bayard and
'■umian ami the three or four leadin'.
Senators tihn, in ihe arena of high de
bate, are assumed to give its best tone
to its political thought.
Outside the Congressional arena,
■ind, looking to the status of national
politics and the preseut attitude of par
ties, we find the position of the South
in the highest degree creditable. It is
lain that if there is to be anything of
uicidal farce and fiasco at St. Louis.it
will not be the work of the South. At
. a.« the South will be found calm,
idicial, consei vativo, and the advocate
the policy that- will win success in
the nation even though it shall cost
certain political Quixotes the privilege
of again parading their lunatic theories
as Democratic doctrines. It is unnects-
ary to describe the present political
tat ns ; it is palpable to the most super
ficial observer. It is hardly a violent
assumption that the Democracy has no
alternative in seeking the path of victo
ry. As a r, alter of justice to the
Souih. and for purposes of future ref-
renee, it is well enough to remember
that the events that have reduced the
battleground of the Presidency to such
narrow limits haic not been brought
(bout by the action of the South. The
monstrous blunder of introducing the
financial issue cannot be visited upon
the youth, though in event of defeat,
the South most likely, will be the chief
sufferer. To those who have any hope
that at St. Louis the South can be suc
cessfully invited to enter into crazy
combinations and lunatic alliances, we
commend careful study of the attitude
>f ■•masterly inactivity”—of safe calcu-
ations and sensiblo repose, that the
>uuth now maintains herself, and exacts
from those who are charged with her
interests and security ; for indeed, the
real motto of the South should he just
now. “All for principal; nothing for
men or, as Harrington more nervous
ly expressed the thought, “Let us
have a government of laws and not of
men.”—Atlanta Times.
Why, howd’y, 3Iahs’r Johnyl is you gone
to keepin’ store?
Well, sah, I is surprised! I neber heard

Now, what’s de gdod ob gwine dar an’

When people trade wid me, dey alluz gits

I ain’t no han’ for cheatin’; I beliebes in

An’ eberybody’H tell you dat dey alluz

I isn’t like some niggers; I deelar’ it is a

Dis heah mus’ be my brudder’s sample—

WAIL OF SENATOR ANTHONY.
The senior Senator from Rhode - Is
land has lately becomj exceedingly
sensitive upon the subject of the licen
tiousness of the press. In the Senate
a few days ago, while specking of the
charge brought against M:. Morton, 11
having illegally used public money ap
propriated for a specific purpose, he
said:
The Cincinnati Journal thinks it is
unpleasant to suspect that the centen
nial exhibition authorities are running
hat institution as a Republican machine,
yet the following extract From the let
ter of a gentleman in Philadelphia to a
riend in that city, suggests, that such
is the fact :
“Quite a number of men of both par
ries have made application for positions.
All Republicans have been accepted,
regardless of size, ag°, ‘or previous con- |
iition oCsitviti'de. while ail Democrats
nave been rejected.”
‘ It is not strange that that act, as every
other act of every public man, right or
wrong, good or bad, true or imputed, is
made the occasion of villification ; for we
live in a time of scandal, and no man who
holds any position, scaicely any man who
interests himself in public affairs, escapes
the general vituperation.
Ii is true we live “in a time of scan
dal.” But who is responsible for it ?
Who introduced and organized the as
founding corruption which has dis
graced this country in the eyes of the
world, and struck a deadly blow at free
institutions ? Who profited by the
hideous frauds that have been brought
to light ? Let Grantism and its defen
ders'answer. Let the Belknaps, Bab
cocks, Joyces, McKees McDonalds,
and other props of the administration,
speak from their cells in the peniten
tiary, and from under the load of crim
inal indictments which now weigh them
down in unaccustomed humility.
Mr. Anthony has some right to be
sensitive. He has invariably sustain
ed this infamous system, and upheld
the rogues and thieves, who in their
da/ oQ prosperity rufed the political
councils in which he participated. He
has, by his voice and his votes, con
tributed as much as any other member
of his party to whitewash the most au
dacious frauds, to vindicate corrupt
scoundrels in office, and to justify the
excesses of Grantism—N. Y. Sun.
