CURING TOBACCO.
The following article on the growth,
culture ami general management of
tobacco, by Jesse T. Hutcheson, ap
peared in the Bristol (Tenn.) News,
last spring; and as our farmers are
becoming interested in the culture of
‘the weed,’ we commend it to their
consideration:
The plant should never be cut until
it is fully ripe, which is generally shown
by yellow spots on the leaf. An unerr
ing sign of its readiness for the knife
)s shown by taking the leaf between
the thumb and fore-iinger, and if it
breaks upon pressure it is a certain in
dication of its perfect maturity. Ripe
tobacco is twice as sweet, double the
weight, and always commands a far
higher price than the green article.
There is as much difference between
ripe and green tobacco, as there is be
tween a ripe and green apple - just as
much as in the flavor or taste of a
green and ripe watermelon, and here
the judgment must govern the action.
Tobacco should nevir be cut whilst
wet with dew or rain, if we desire it to
cure readily and well.
We will suppose, then, that the leaf
has ripened uniformly and well. The
broad and seeming ruffled crisp and
deeply mottled leaves seem with genu
ine abandon to woo the flattering em
braces of September’s aim. The dreary
haziness of the atmosphere, the deep
blue clouds which anon hide the sun
from view, the first faint mingling of
autumn’s own yellow with the green of
far spent summer, admonish the plan
ter that he must soon enter upon the
closing scenes of his year’s labor. The
barns are all ready, well chinked, close
ly daubed with clay and made perfect
ly tight. An abundance of good, sea
soned oak or hickory wood is at the
door, or the charcoal securely stored
away under the cover, when the faith
ful laborers of tlio farm, eager for the
fray, open the ball. The pointed end
of an old scythe blade with a haddle
attached, makes the best knife, and
when the sturdy and trusty foreman
of tlio crew lays bis resolute bold upon
such an implement, tlie inspiration of
the moment will spread among his
comrades; while the deep, rich cry of
the opening stalk is music to the plan
ter’s ear. And here we would remark
that tobacco should be cut as soon as
ripe; and in cutting be careful to split
each stalk in the centre, and as low
down as possible, not to allow com
plete separation; then sever the stalk
as near the bottom leaf as you can and
put the plant gently to one side with
base of the plant towards the sun, and
proceed with the cutting as rapidly as
possible. The plant should be imme
diately convoyed to the barn while
they are yet stifl'. l>o not delay,
thinking they will break less and ad
mit of being hauled in larger loads,
etc., by being allowed to wilt. This is
a dangerous practice and most not be
allowed. If we could we would always
follow after the cutter with stick in
hand, hang and convey to the barn by
hand, hoist and regulate. Jf the plant
should be large put six to eight plants
equal distance on the stick. Medium
size ten to the stick, and placed on the
tiers six to eight inches apart, and care
should be observed in placing the
sticks on the tier pole, that the end of
the stick is at least three inches on the
pole, to prevent the stick falling dur
ing the process of tiring, as many a
planter has seen his barn burnt by
neglect of this, the stick falling when
the fires were at tbeir height, and the
tobacco being dry would ignite like
powder, and at once communicate th
flames to the whole building. Having
tilled the barns, string the leaves which
may be broken from the stalks, and
have the floor properly swept. When
this is done, if it be large strong lot
land tobacco, suited only for shipping
purposes, there is but little difficulty
iu its curing. Let it bang until it
shows a disposition to turn yellow,
which will usually take place in about
three days, when tires may be raised
under it, keeping them quite small at
first, when the tails of the tobacco
begin to rattle, raise the fires gradual
ly as high as may be done with safety,
and Leep them so until the leaf and
stem are perfectly cured, which is
easily ascertained by the appearance
of the stem, which becomes dry and
hard. It takes from eight to ten days
and sometimes longer to cure tobacco
effectually. But if the tobacco be
grown on new land, well ripened and
suitable for manufacturing purposes,
it should be cured without fire, or at
all events without smoke. If it is de
termined to make a lot of sun-cured,
it must be bung thin on a scaffold, as
long as the weather will permit, and
then removed and lmng thinly iu an
open barn, where the remaining mois
ture of the plant may be taken out by
the air passing through it.
It is believed that in this way you
may preserve all the essential oils of
the tobacco and native aromatic flavor
of the weed more perfectly than in
any other way.
Here are five short rules that if
well worked up will make farming one
of the most attractive pursuits known:
1. Do not over-crop yourself; or in
other words, do not undertake more
than you can accomplish with ease.
‘2. Have a regular system in all you
do, and do everything with a clear un
derstanding as result and effect.
3. Keep your land well up to a good
standard, by proper fertilizing and a
judicious rotation of proper crops.
4. Keep none but good stock, and
see to it that said stock is kept in
good condition.
5. Take good papers, together with
new standard farm books written by
practical men who deal only in facts.
A FRENCH EXECUTION.
[from the Paris Figaro. August 13th.;
Gervias, the assassin of Bois-Co
lombes, was guillotined yesterday. At
2:30 p. in. on Friday Marshal MacMa
hon signed the death-warrant, and five
minutes later secret orders for the exe
cution had been transmitted to the
military commander to furnish the
escort, to the carpenter to erect tli6
scaffold, to the Prefect of Police to
make the necessary details, to the
Clerk of the Court, the Governor of
the Prison, and the Executioner. At
2 a. m. on Saturday the police cleared
the streets in the vicinity of the prison,
which had already been crowded with
spectators, many of whom were wo
men and children. At 2:15 the new
guillotine, which M. Roche calls the
Bijou, was put together. The pieces
are all numbered ana fastened togeth
er with wooden screws, so that there
is no longer to be beard the sound of
hammering so ominous to the culprit.
A gray-whiskered man of lofty stature
superintends the process. It is M.
Roche, the executioner. He smokes a
cigar while narrowly examining the
hanging of the ax, the placing of the
wicker-basket, filled with bran, for the
severed head, and buckets of water to
clean the scaffold. He tries the fall of
the ax, but the heat has made the
wood shrink and it does not run true
in the groove, so he wedges the frame
till the ax slips satisfactorily.
‘Will Gervais resist?’ we asked.
‘I don’t know, but £T think not.—
They are half dead when they come
out to me, and I have never had any
trouble with themytt.’
‘Will he speak to the crowd ?’
‘Speak ? Why, they would all
speak if we gave them time to do so.’
Gervais is asleep, believing fondly
that th#re must be a delay of at least
forty days between the decision of the
Court of Appeals and the carrying out
of his sentence. He is tranquil; sup
ped heartily last night.; played a game
of cards with the turnkey; beat him,
and went to bed, saying:
‘l’ll give you your revenge to mor
row.’
4:05 a. m.— The guard arrives and is
posted. Arrive also l’Abbe Crozes, the
Prison Chaplain; the Commissioner of
the Police and the Clerk of the Court.
Everybody turns pale and silent till
two women, who have nerved them
selves for the occasion with copious
draughts, fall off the roof of the car
riage to which they have climbed.—
Thereon every one laughs.
4:lo—They enter the cell. Gervais
is sleeping quietly. The turnkey
shakes him by the shoulder; he opens
his eyes, turns over, and is again com
posing himself to sleep when the Gov
ernor says:
‘Gervais, your appeal is rejected.—
Courage, man; the time has come.’
Ho does uot understand, apparently
and sits on the side of the bed stu
pidly rubbing his eyes and yawning.
‘lmpossible !’ he stammers at
last; ‘you are only trying to scare
me!'
The keepers have removed his strait
jacket, aud are dressing him rapid and
noiselessly.
‘This is horrible !' he says hoarsely.
‘Can society commit such a crime?’
While the clerk is reading the war
rant l’Abbe Crozes embraces aud
calms him and forces him to drink a
glass of brandy. Before they bind
him he gives the priest his watch and
seven and one-half francs to lie handed
to his children. As they cut away the
neck of his shirt, and he feels the cold
steel of the scissors, he shivers convul
sively and moans:
T am innocent! this is murder!’
At this moment an official covered
with dust hurries to the jail, and every
one without mistakes him for the
bearer of a reprieve. It is only a fire
man fresh from a small fire desir
ous of reporting to the Chief of Po
lice.
4:3B—The door opens, and the con
demned man appears, supported by
two keepers and accompanied by the
Abbe. He walks firmly, but turns his
eyes convulsively away from the
ax. The Abbe embraces him; M.
Roch lays his large baud on his shoul
der.
‘No, no; uot so soon—one moment.’
He is strapped to the plank, but not
so firmly that he cau not slightly move
his head, aud when the ax falls it
shears away the base of his skull. —
From the time that the door opened
fourteen seconds have elapsed; six
only since M. Roch laid hands on
him.
‘We Americans,’ said a Northern man
as he cocked up his feet and tilted
his chair, Sve Americans arc an in
teresting people. For instance, I have
two brothers-in-law —both are good
men and true. One of them is a Dem
ocrat; the other is a Republican. The
one who is a Democrat fought through
the war in the Union army. He was
in several of the most terrible battles
of that great struggle; his comrades
says that he fought like a tiger. My
other brother-in-law, the Republican,
is fat and domestic, and he did not go
to the war. Me would not go if there
was to be another one. Yet—would
you believe it ?—my brother-in-law
who is a Democrat .is classed as a
‘traitor,’ while my brother-in-law who
is a Republican is described as loyal.
We are letting politics run away with
us.’
A dear old lady being asked if she
had ever had her ears pierced by the
wail of distress, said she couldn’t just
exactly remember, but she believed it
was done with a shoemaker’s awl.
PLAT P O U M
OF THE
NATIONAL DEMOCRATIC PARTY.
We, the Delegates of the Democratic Party
of the United States in National Convention
assembied, do hereby declare the ad mini? t ra
tion of Federal Government to be in urgent
need of immediate reform. We do hereby
enjoin upon the nominees of this Convention
and of the Democratic Party in each State a
zealous effort aud co-operation to this end,
and do hereby appeal to our fellow-citizens of
every former political connection to undertake
with us this first and most pressing patriotic
duty of the Democracy ot the whole country.
We do here affirm our faith iu the perma
nency of the Federal Union, our devotion to
the Constitution of the United States, with
its amendments universally accepted as a final
settlement, of the controversies that engender
ed civil war, aud do hereby record our stead-
fast confidence iu perpetuity of republican
self-government; iu absolute acquiescence to
the will of the majority—the vital principle of
republics —in the supremacy ol the civil over
the military authority; in (he total separation
of Church and State, for the sake alike of civil
and religious freedom; iu Hie equality of all
citizens before just laws of their own enact
ment; in the liberty of individual conduct un
voted by sumptuary laws in the faithful edu
cation of the rising generation, that they may
preserve, enjoy and transmit, these best con
ditions of human happiness and hope. We
behold the noli lest products of 100 years of
changeful history. But, while upholding the
bond of our union and great charter of these
our rights, it behooves a free people to prac
tice slso that eternal vigilance which is the
price of liberty. Reform is necessary to re
build and establish in the hearts of the whole
people of the Union, eleven years ago pappily
rescued from the danger of a secession of
States, but now to be saved from corrupt cen
tralism, which, after inflicting upon ten States
the rapacity of carpet bag tyrannies, has
honey-combed the offices of the Federal Gov
ernment itself with incapacity, waste and
fraud, infected States aud municipalities with
the contagion of misrule, and locked fast the
prosperity of an industrious people in the
paralysis of hard times.
Reform is necessary to establish a sound
currency, restore the public credit and main
tain the national honor.
We denounce the failure for ail these eleven
years to make good the promise of the legal
tender notes, which are a changing standard
of value in the bauds of the people, and the
nonpayment of which is a disregard of the
plighted faith of the nation.
We denounce the improvidence which, in
eleven years of peace, has taken from the peo
ple in Federal taxes thirteen times the amount
of the legal tender notes and squandered four
times this sum iu useless expouse without ac
cumulating any reserve for their redenip ion.
We denounce the financial imbecility and
immorality of that party, which, during elev
en years of peace, has made no advance to
ward resumption: that instead, has obstructed
resumption by waisting our resources and ex
hausting all our surplus income, and while
annually professing to intend a speedy return
to specie payments has annually enacted
fresh hindrances thereto.
As such a hindrance we denounce the re
supmtion clause of the act of 1875, and we
hear demand its repeal. We demand a judi
cious syste n of preparation by public econo
mies, by official retrenchments and by wise
finance, which shall enable the nation soon to
assure the whole world of its perfect ability
and its perfect readiness to meet any of its
promises at the call of the credit entitled to
payment. We believe such a system well de
vised and above all entrusted to competent
hands for execution, creating at no time an
artificial scarcity of currency, and at no time
alarming the public mind into a withdrawal of
that vast machinery of credit by which ninety
five per cent of all business transactions are
reformed.
A system open, public and inspiring general
confidence, would, from the day of its adop
tion bring healing on its wings to all our
harrassed industry aud set iu motion the
wheels of commerce, manufactures and the
mechanical arts, restore employment to labor,
aud renew, in all its national source, the pros
perity of the people.
Reform is necessary iu the sum and mode of
Federal taxation to the end that capital may
be set free from distrust and labor lightly bur
dened.
We denounce the present tariff, levied upou
nearly 4,000 articles, as a masterpiece of injus
tice, iuequaiity and false pretence. It yields a
dwindling uot a yearly rising revenue. It has
impoverished many industries to subsidies a
few. It prohibits imports that might purchase
the products of American labor. It has de
graded American commerce from tho first, to
an inferior rank on the high seas. It has cut
down the sale of American manufacturers at
home aud abroad, and depleted tlie re:urns of
American agriculture, an industry followed by
half our people. It costs the people five
times more than it produces to the Treasury,
obstructs the processes of production, and
wastes the fruits of labor. It promotes fraud
and fosters smuggling, enriches dishonest offi
cials and bankrupts honest merchants.
We demand that all Custom House taxation
shall he for revenue only.
Reform is necessary in the scale of public
expenses, Federal, State or Municipal. Our
Federal taxation has swollen from Sfio,ooo,
000, gold, in 1800, to 8140,000,000, currency,
in 1870; or, in a decade, from less than So pet
head to more than SlB per head.
Since the peace, the people have paid to
their tax gatherers more than thrice the sum
of the national debt, and more than twice that
sum for the Federal Government alone.
We demand a vigorous frugality iu every
department and from every officer of the Gov
ernment.
Reform is necessary to put a stop to the
profligate waste of public lands and their de
version from actual settlers, by the party in
power, which has squandered 200,00(1,000 of
acres upon railroads alone, and out of more
than thrice that aggregate has disposed of less
than a sixth directly to the tillers of the soil.
Reform is necessary to correct the omissions
of the Republican Congress, and the errors of
our treaties, and our diplomacy, which have
stripped our fellow citizens of foreign birth
and kindred race recrossing the Atlantic of
the shield ol American citizenship, and have
exposed our brethren of the Pacific coast to
the inclusions of a race not sprung from the
same great parent stock, aud in fact, now by
law denied citizen ship through naturalization,
as being neither accustomed to the traditions
of a progressive civilization nor exercised in
liberty under equal laws.
We deuonnee tho policy which thus discards the lib
erty loving German, aud tolerates the revival of the
coolie trade in Mongolian women imported for im
moral purposes, aud Mongolian men Uir-ed to perform
servile labor contr, cts, aud demand such modifica
tion of the treaty with the OhiuCße Empire, or such
legislation by Congress within a constitutional limita
tion as Bhall prevent the further importation or im
migration of the Mongol! n race.
Heform is necessary and can never bo effected but
by making it the controlling issue of tlie elections
and lilting it above the two false issues with which
the office-holding class ana the party in power sock to
smother it—the false issue with which thoy would
enkindle sectional strife in respect to tlio public
schools, of which the establishment and support be
longs exclusively to the several States, aud which the
Democratic party has cherished from thoir founda
tion, aud resolved to maintain without partiality or
preference for any claas, sect or creed, and without
contribution from the Treasury to any of them; and
the false issue by which they seek to light anew the
dying embers of sectional hate between kindred peo
ples once estranged hut now reunited in one indivis
ible Republic and a common doctrine.
Reform is necessary iu the civil service. Experi
ence proves that efficient, economical conduct of the
Governmental business is not possible if its civil ser
vice be subject to change at every election, ho a prize
fought for at the ballot box, he a brief reward of party
zeal, instead of posts of honor assigned for proved
competency and held for fidelity iu the public employ;
that the dispensing of patronage should neither he" a
tax upou the time of all our public meu nor the iustru
ment of their ambition. Here, again, professions—
falsified in the performance—attest that the party in
power can work out no practical or salutary reform.
Reform is necessary even more in the higher grades
of the public service. President, Vice President,
Judges, Senators, Representatives, Cabinet officers,
these and aU others in authority are the people’s serv
ants. Their offices are not a private perquisite, they
are a public trust. When the annals of the Republic
Bb-)w the disgrace and censure of a Vice President* a
late Speaker of the House of Representatives market
ing his rulings as a presiding offi-er; three Senators
profiting secretly by their votes as law-makers; five
cl) air me i of the leading committees of the late House
of Representatives exposed in jobbery; a late Secre
tary of the Treasury forcing balances in the public
accounts; a late Attorney General misappropriating
public funds; a Secretary of the Navy enriched or en
riching friends by percentages levied off the profits of
contractors with his department; an ambassador to
England censured in a dishonorable speculation; the
President’s private Secretary barely escaping convic
tion upon trial for guilty complicity in frauds upon
the revenue; a Secretary of War impeached for high
crimes and confessed misdemeanors, the demonstra
tion is complete, that the first step in reform must be
the people’s choice of honest men from another parly
lest the disease on one political organization infest the
body politic, and lest by making no change of nieu or
party we can get no change of measure aud no reform.
All these abuses, wrongs and crim s, the product
of sixteen years’ ascendency of the Republic u party
create a necessity for reform confessed by Republi-
I cans themselves, but their refor cers are \oted down
in convention aud displaced from the Cabinet. The
party’s mass of honest voters are powerless to resist
the 80,000 officeholders, its leaders and guides.
Reform can only be had by a peace.ul civil revolu
tion. We demand a change of system, a change of
administration, a change of parties, that we may have
a change of measures and of men.

One Hundred Years Ago!

FCli THE
CENTENNIAL YEAR!
In offering the Emile to the public in the beginning
of tho most important iu the huudred years of tho
Nation's existence, it 1 proper to return our profound
acknowledgment to its patrons for the confidence and
good will which have attended it from its first incep
tion to the present year. It is now better prepared
than ever to work in the interests of the people of
Georgia, and to record the important events of the
day as they transpire, iu all parts of the couutry.
The newspapers of this couutry are fast superseding
the public orators and politicians in shaping the af
fairs of the government, because they reach thousands
of our stalwart population - meu, women and chil
dren—who have become disgusted with the harangue
of designing meu, who do not keep, on an averag.one
m fifty of their promises.
The year 1876 will be filled with importaut events
and no family who cares to keep posted can afford to
be without at least one newspaper.
We submit the following points:
1. Congress meet* early in January, and there Is no
doubt o the fact that it will be the moat important ses*
si >n siuce the foundation of the Republic.
2. The Georgia Legislature meets on the 12th day
ot January, and the question of a Constitutional Con
vention, the dog law, stock law, the State’s indorse
ment on railroad bouds, the Treasury complications,
etc., etc., are matters about which the people want to
keep posted,
3. The Presidential compaign on which we are just
now eutering will be the most important one iu tlio
history of our country.
4. On the 10th of May tho great Centennial celebra
bration opens iu Philadelphia, aud will be the grandest
exhibition ever witnessed in any country.
5. A Governor of Georgia, all of the House of Rep
resentatives, aud half of the Senate, are to be chosen
this fall; aud with the number of candidates for Gu
bernatorial honors, both Democratic aud Republican,
it is certain that we are going to have lively times.
C. Congressmen are to be elected iu Georgia again
this fall.
7, County officers, from Ordinary to Coroner, are
also to be chosen in this State.
The above is the bill of fare, and the Eagle prom
ises that its readers shall have the news in its freshest
form, with editorial and epistolary sauce, suitable to
each dish served up. And while we propose to keep
fully up with the news, we shall also retain our mis
cellaneous selections aud agricultural and household
departments on the outside of our paper.
Politically,
The Eaglk will continue to act with the Democratic
party; but while it does so, it will contend aud battle
for the land-marks erected by Jefferson, and will ex
pose corruptions, and light rings and cliques, let them
be found wherever they may.
To Our Old Patrons,
w'e would say. help us extend ouk circulation !
Let each subscriber iLterest him or herself iu sending
us anew one, and it will enable us to furnish a paper
that shall increase in interest each week.
Cash in Advance.
The price at which we furnish our paper just about
covers the cost of the paper, and the actual labor done
on it; we are, therefore, compelled to establish the
rule that vje will receive no new subscriptions unless ac
companied by the money.
Old Subscribers.
Of these, wo havo many who are prompt—they pay
on sight; and with them we never havo trouble. But
then we have others who are slow to pay, and this
class we earnestly urge to come forward amt settle,
and aid us in extending our circulation.
Send all moneys by P. O. Order or Registered Let

THE MORNING NEWS
SAVANNAH, G-A.
rjIHE POLITICAL CAMPAIGN of 1870, which iu
| eludes National, State and county elections, anil
which will undobtedly be the most active and hotly
contested of any since the memorable canvass of 1800,
is now fairly opened. The National Democratic party
will this year make a bold, vigorous, and doubtless
successful struggle for the maintenance and suprem
acy of those principles which are vit*l to the prosper
ity of the Republic and essential to the well-being of
the people.
In addition to the Presidential election, the people in
Georgia and Florida will elect new state governments.
In Florida the campaign promises to be unusually
vigorous, and there is a probability that for the first
time since the war the people of that Radical-ridden
State will electa Democratic State government. In
these campaigns the people ot' the South are deeply
interested; and every intelligent citizen, who has the
welfare of his country ind his section at heart, should
acquaint himself with every detail of the great work
of redemption and reform t- at is now going on.
To this end he should subscribe to and assist iu
circulating the Savannah Morning an
Democratic newspaper, oi pronounced
opinions and fearless in their expression; a paper
that is recognized everywhere as the best daily iu the
South. Its editorial depart meut is vigorous, thought
ful, and consistent, while its news and local depart
ments are marvels of industry and completeness. Its
department of Georgia and Florida affairs is uot con
fined to a mere barren summary of events trauapiriug
in those States, but is enliveued by comment at once
apt, timely, and racy.
The ample resources of the establishment will be
devoted to furnishing the readers of
THE MORNING NEWS
with tho latest intelligence from all parts of the
world, through the press dispatches, special tele
grams, and by means of special correspondence; and
through these agencies the paper will be tho earliest
chronicler of every noteworthy incident of the politi
cal campaign of 1376.
