r r lIE EAGIi E . Published Every Friday Morning. 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.

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.

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.
