The New York Sun reviewing the financial
condition of the country, arrives at the cheer
ful conclusion that a few years of economy and
prudence will conquer all difficulties, and then
the country will take a fresh start of prosper
ity. In the meau tune, .here will he no Infla
tion of the currency, simply because it is im
practicable. All the alarms upon the suject are
absurd, and arc manufactured in the interest of
Wall-street speculators. Recovery is to come
through honest labor and self-denial. The ex
travagant expenditures of the government can
be largely reduced, and the whole machinery
re organized with a saving of forty or fifty mil
lions a year. That reduction will afford great
relief, and the example will be wholesome for
economy in the states and cities and counties
and towns.
It is all very well to talk about “ the sweat
of the brow of the land” redeeming oar losses,
of a government re-organized and conducted
upon principles of economy, of the evils of in
flation and golden blessings to brighten in the
wake of specie resumption. But the land is al
ready sweating the cold sweat of financial
death, and “ these blessings brighten as they
take their flight.” The so-called inflationists
behold the ruin already wrought by this fatal
policy, and are calling a halt. Should the
Ohio platform receive an emphatic endorse
meut at the polls, we believe that the quicken
ing effect will be felt to the remotest extremity
of the country. The hoarded greenbacks wi.l
again flow out from the vaults of the rich, the
manufacturing and farming interests, now so
burdened, will be lifted into anew life, and
the good time coming," like the “ first faint
streaks of the dawning ” will be hailed by a re
joicing people.—The deep-voiced masses will
be heard next Tuesday proclaiming no more
contraction. The country needs a settled fi
nancial policy, and the Ohio election will de
termine it. Our Southern farmers, bowed be
neath a load of debt, plagued with liens and
mortgages, repressed in every possible way,
will rejoice in the success of the party that
promises them speedy relief from present em
barrassments. A too hasty progress towards
resumption has been the retrogression of all
our material interests, has paralyzed both in
this try and hope and filled the land with
tramping beggars.— State Line Press.
The Cincinnati! Enquirer thus figures up
the progress of Democracy. The summary is
certainly encouraging.
It says: “ Figures are eloquent More than
anything else, they arc accurately expressive.
They never lie. I.et them tell the recent
growth of Democratic power in the United
States : In ISTO, four Democratic Governors ,
.$75, twenty-four Democratic Governors
In IS7O, four Democratic legislature's, in 1875,
twenty-feur Democratic Legislatures. In 1870
ninety Democratic members of House of Rep
reselltati ves of the United States; in 1875, one
hundred anel eighteen members of that bodv.
In 1870. twelve Democratic members of the
Senate of the United States; in 1875. twenty
eight members. Thus the Democracy are pro
gressing. Thus they are gravitating to the pos
session of the power of the Federal Governor
They will attain it in the centennial year. The
result in Maine adds to the potency of tbs
abe>vc facts. Official and reporteel returns from
all the cemnties of California but two in which
the vote is very small, give Irwin, Democrat
56,891; Phelps, Republican, 39,691, and Bid
well, Independent, 27,430. Irwins plurality
over Phelps, 26,910, and his vote is within 250
of the combined vote of the Republicans and
Independents. The Independents have been
complained of by the organs for defeating the
Republicans but as their vote is within 2,360
of the Republican vote, it is a question wheth
er the Independents should not complain of the
Republicans keeping the field."

Yord to Farmers who have Failed
l Bake lhrn Enoutfit
I commenced farming in the year 1819 and
continued until my negroes were freed. Dur
ing that time, owing to severe droughts, I fail
ed twice to make corn enough to do me longer
than the month of May. I sowed wheat, ami
when it began to ripen, say the heads turned
yellow and the grain formed in the dough
state, the stalk and blades still green, I had it
cut and cured. I stopped feeding on corn and
had the wheat cut up with a cutting
knife, commencing at the heads and throwing
away a portion of the butt-ends. My stock
were in good working order, for I had fed
bountifully with corn, knowing that the hard
work had to be done, and that the com would
last until the wheat came in. I commenced
feeding on wheat, the work being lighter, the
stock actually improved. I did not have to buy
a bushel of corn. Many fanners think it 'aboi
lost to try to raise wheat in this climate. lam
satisfied that it is more from mismanagement
than any thing else that they fail—l seldom
ever failed, and give my plan : First, I break
up my ground with diamond pointed scooters
five inches wide ; plow very close so as to pul
verize the ground thoroughly, and, if necessa
ry, cross plow. My plan for preparing the seed
is to have two tubs of strong brine, as strong
as salt will make it. I pour in a small quantity
at a time and gently stir, throwing away all
that will float. I let it remain in the brine
from thirty-six to forty-eight hours. While
you are sowing out one tub the other is soak
ing. Put the wheat in a basket to drain, and
while wet sprinkle with lime until it is all coat
ed. If this rule is strictly carried out you will
never find a head of smut. My rule was one
peck and a half to the acre. 1 covered with a
wooden-tooth harrow, (I would not use an iron
tooth harrow if one was given me.) The har
row was made of three pieces of scantling,
three by four inches, put together triangularly,
with auger holes one inch and a half for the
teeth, five inches apart in the back piece, and
the same number in the side pieces, which will
be further apart in the back piece. The teeth
are four inches square, tapered down, leaving
at the point a quarter of an inch square. Let
the sower follow the plow, and the harrow fol
low the sower. I prefer harrowing with the
plowing. If I were farming now I would sow
wheat for my stock to feed on if I could buy
corn at seventy-five cents a bushel. In fact, I
believe it might be profitable to feed on wheat
in summer and sell corn at seventy five cents,
for at that time of the year money is money
with a great many farmers. I alvvuys preferred
putting wheat on cotton land, as it is easier
prepared, clear of grass and Hessian fly. The
last of October or any time in November I gen
erally sowed wheat. I think the fault with
most farmers is that they don’t prepare the land
right before sow ing, and they put too much to
the acre, and a great portion of their seed in
perfect grains. Some put a bushel to the acre,
and if they make ten bushels they think it a
very fine crop, when really they have made
c>nly one-tenth of a head tn thv
(sowetl, (.supposing each gv in *° P rwt ‘ uce one
‘hundred gr*> J ° ' t>,„ „r farmers know that
one gra n ' 8 capable of producing over five
liund e(l grams. If one grain produces five
hundred grains, one bushel should bring five
hundred bushels. Another error is they cover
to’ deep. AY heat will not come up if covered
trree or four inches deep— the roots at the
grain deprived of light, heat and air, causes a
very slow growth. These roots have to sup
port the stalk until it is sufficiently strong to
throw out roots near the surface; when this
takes place the lower roots and stem perish ;
by this time it is cold weather, and the surface
roots short and tender, and are very easily
spewed out by frost, and for want of moisture
die out. If it should escape the freeze it has
had no time to teller out, and only produces
one or two heads when it should have produc
ed from five to twenty. The shallow covered
grain throws out at the start permanent roots
nnd has had time to bunch and teller out, and
in no danger of being spread out by the frost
and will produce from five to twenty heads if
it is not too much crowded. This is not chim
ney corner theory, but from actual experience
and observation for over fifty years.
J. D. Davis.
Perry, Ga., Sept. 28, 1875.
A Good Lesson for tlie Young.
A little boy was recently arraigned at a
criminal bar for stealing some object which a
boy would hardly be thought to covet. He
was a bright, intelligent child, and awakened
the interest of all who saw him. On question
ing hrm closely it was found that he bad been
a diligent reader of the life of pirates, thieves,
highwaymen and all manner of outlaws, and a
burning admiration of their deeds was kindled
in his breast. In his longing to imitate them
he had been led to steal, merely for the sake of
stealing. It was a good day for him when the
law laid its hand upon him, and taught him
that the way of the transgressor is hard.
Boys,if you wish to grow up outlaws, shunned
or hunted down by society, make a stud}* of
such books. The exploits of thieves have a
great fascination for youth; but many a lad
has been led by them, first to admire, and then
to imitate their career.
A milkman’s boy once attempted to murder
an old housekeeper, with no apparent mo
tive. His mind had become so filled with the
tales of crime he had read, he could not rest
until he had put into practice the information
he had gained.
How much better to have the life influ
enced by great and noble characters, whose
lives you may read. Benjamin Franklin says
that a little book by Cotton Mather, all tatter
ed and torn, gave him such a turn for thinking
as to influence ail his after life. No doubt that
little book tended largely to make him the great
man he afterwards became.
George Law read the story of a poor boy
who, from small beginnings, made a large for
tune, and it made him restless until he, too,
could begin to lay the foundation of a fortune
By steady, patient industry he became at last
the millionaire of his boyhood's dream.
There is something higher yet than mere
money-making. Study the livt-s of those who
have been the benefactors of the world and try
to imitate their example.
The swell mob—the inflationists.
la a machine-girl much better than a hand
maid ? Yea; aew-much.
If they want to pull ’em back all the men in
the land can't stop ’em.
FORSYTH. GEORGIA. TUESDAY MORNING OCTOBER 19. 1375.
Ex-President I>uvU.
Enthusiastic Welcome Extended to him at
Clarksville, Tennessee—His Remarks in Ac
knowledgement.
President Davis receive! a grand ovation on
his arrival ir ClarksviUe. At 11:45 last night
he was met at the depot by a large concourse
of citizens, irrespective of party, and was es
corted by a long torchlight procession from the
depot through the principal streets to the resi
dence of M. H. Clark, the Knights of Templar
and Knights of Pythias acting as an escort.
The houses along the line of march were bril
liantly illuminated, and the lateness of the
hour did not deter the ladies from welcoming
him from their balconies amid the waving of
handkerchiefs and cheers of the people.
WELCOME BT THE KEY. DR. SEARS.
Arriving at Mr. Clark’s, Mr. Davis was re
ceived by a welcoming address from the Rev.
Dr. Sears, of the Baptist church who said:
Mr. President —When we received the in
telligence that you would teach our city to
night, it produced the most intense excitement
in the hearts of our people, and notwithstand
ing the lateness of the hour this large crowd,
composed as it is of persons representing every
interest and ever}* society in our beautiful city,
has come here to greet you and to give you a
hearty welcome among us. We are moved,
sir, in this by the exercise of no political feel
ing whatever, nor do we expect to accomplish
any political object by what we are doing. It
is the spontaneous outbursting of the feeling of
admiration which this people cherish for you,
from the fact that you occupy a commanding
positi n in the past history of our country,
joined to the unobtrusive life you have led
since your retirement from public life. W
think you are justly entitled to the esteem and
admiration of your countrymen. Influenced
by this spirit, and this alone, onf behalf of our
whole population, in behalf of the Knights
Templar, Knights of Pythias, and other bodies
here represented, and by the request of the
Mayor of our city, I tender you a warm and
cordial welcome to Clarksville.
RErLY OK MR. DAVIS.
Mr. Davis replied, in substance, as follows.
After returning thanks for the unexpected
reception, he said:
I did not suppose that but two persons in
your city would know of my coming, two clear
friends at whose hospitable house I now stand.
But such demonstration of sympathy for me in
my misfortune awakens a feeling of gratitude
iu my heart which cannot be expressed by
words. It is an evidence of the truth of what
I have always said, that the people of the
Southern States are the noblest people of the
world. This demonstration of sympathy* for
me, whose checkered life has been spent
iu the interests of the people of the South, is
doubly grateful now in misfortune as I come
back to this, the vicinity of my native home.
It has been said that life is but a circle, and
that man travels around it until he returns to the
point from whence he started. It seems so in
my history. This the very point where, when
I was an infant, 1 was embarked op Jt lungt far
be decreed that I should end it now, I know of
no other place wher: I would welcome the end
so kindly as an id thl*se hospitable friends. For
the honor you have done me, I again thank
you, and bid you good night. Courier Journ

An Important Faet.
The voluntary testimony of thousands estab
lishes beyond all doubt a fact of vital impor
tance to the sick and debilitated, viz., thatllos
tetter’s Stomach Bitters is an absolute specific
for remittent and interneittent fever, dyspepsia,
constipation, billiousness, mentai depression,
sleeplessnes, chronic diarrhoea, and all diseases
of the stomach, liver and bowels. The unmed
icated stimulants usually prescribed in these ca
ses only aggravate the symptoms, instead of re
moving them. The Bitters, on the contrary,
act as a corrective and invigorant, without pro
ducing the unpleastant and dangerous conse
quences of the old school practice. The action
is mild and soothing to the irrigated stomach
and bowels, promoting digestion and prevent
ing flatulence, nausea, headache and all intes
tinal irregularities. A wineglassfull before
meals greatly assists digestion. The convales
cent may use them with great benefit, as a
means of restoring strength and cheerfulness.
What Woes He Line On.
The Toledo Blade relates the following : A
citizen of Toledo, in tire ordinary curient of
business, became possessor of a note of a Ger
man saloon keeper. The note becoming due,
he took it to the party and presented it for pay
ment. The man was not prepared to liquadate
his obligation, and asked for an extension of
time. This being granted, and the conditions
settled properly, he was turning to leave, when
the German said:
“ Shoost vait von leetle whiles, unt I gifs you
ein glass goot peer.”
“No, I thank you, I don't drink beer," was
the reply.
“ Yell, den, I gi*s you veeskees, that is pet
ter as so mooch."
“ No, thank you, I don’t drink whisky.”
“ Sho! den, I know how I fix you: I haf
goot vines,” jerking down a bottle with a flour
ish.
Again the quiet “ No’ I thank you, I don’t
drink wine.”
“ Yot! you don't trinks noddings : veil, I gifs
you ein goot shegar.”
Once more, “ No, thank you, I don’t smoke.”
“ Mein Got!” exclaimed the Duehman,
throwing up both hands, “no peers, no vees
kees. no vines, no dobacco, no noddings—Yot
you live on, any ways —betatees eh ?”
Pius IX—How He Lives and Works.—
Pius IX rises at 2 a. m., and from that time till
half past seven is spent in meditation and pray
er. After this comes mass, then a slight meal
and a short repose. Presently the important
matter —business, correspondence to be review
ed, afterward delicate affairs to be thought over
and most particular private audiences. At 12
Pius is prepared to receive the world. He will
see any persons, of any country or relieion,
will converse with all, and give each his hand
to kiss, and mak a pleasant little speech to
every one. Upon larger presentations being
made he sits upon his throne and makes more
serious and set speeches, and of a more elo
quent nature. He is very fond of being famil
iar, and prefers to talk as a genial old father.
He generally choses some verses from Scrip
ture or the Litany to discourse upon on solemn
occasions, and invariably adapts his address to
the circumstances and the people. He is nat
urally very kind hearted, simple in his tastes
and geniaL— Springfield RepvNiean.
