THE E A Cr L E . PuktiK ied VjJtrj ' rula.v Morning:. USEFUL SUGGESTIONS. Always give the soil the first meal. If this is well led with manure it will feed all else; plants, animals and man. If you wish to give an energetic movement to ail our farm machinery, and keep its wheels in rotation, be sure not to be without a good rotation of crops. If you allow your animals to shiver, your fortune will be shivered in con sequence; that is, the farmer who leaves his cattle to the winds, will find his profits also given to the winds. Scraping and washing the trunks and larger limbs of fruit trees will destroy the eggs of injurious insects. For a wash use common soft soap, or one pound of soda in a gallon of water; whale oil soap is still better. Severe scrapping is not advisable, as nature doubtless gave the rough bark the better to stand the vicissitudes of climate. Chicken cholera yields readily to the following treatment: Remove the dis eased fowls to apartments by them selves. Then chop up some common garden rue, mixed in oat meal gruel; or cooked corn meal will answer. Put a drop or two of carbolic acid in a quart of water, and let them have no other drink. Place the sick fowls on clean, dry straw, and keep them in confinement until restored to health. To make coldslaw cut up the cabbage very fine with a sharp knife, and sprin kle over it a teaspoonful of salt. For a large dish, say a quart of cut cabbage, use two eggs, a piece of butter the size of an egg, half a teacup of water and half a teacup of good vinegar. Beat the eggs, whites and yolks together, very light; add the water, vinegar and butter, and put all in a tin on the fire, stirring all the time until it is of a creamy thickness. Pour it hot over the cabbage, stir up well with a fork, and leave to cool. A COMPOST FOR COT ION AM) CORN. A the Scientific Farmer says he is hoeing up from 1 to 2 inches of the top of the ground, vir gin soil, with the leaves and straw, and want to compost Oit in some way to make it available on his crops next spring, and asks the editor’s advice.— In reply he says: A cheap and effective way would be to mix, in a large heap, with stable manure, or bettor, to use in the stable and barnyard and hog pens, as bed ding and absorbents of the liquids, thus the material would get well mixed with the manure; saving the latter and by just so much improving the former. If then a compost heap is made of the thus combined materials, and forked over a few times, the coarse leaves and straw will btcouie decom posed and fitted for use on the crops. Another good method is to pile the material together, incorparating from two to five bushels of slacked lime per cord, and shovel it over once or twice, to mix thoroughly and to forward and control the heating. The lime will act to decompose tiro organic matter of the mass, while the earthy portion will retain the violatic matters thrown off during the heating. The compost should stand before using one or two months, till the coarse matter is thor oughly decomposed. If there is one thing more than an other that puzzles the mind of the farmer, it is as to what ho shall do to make money. If any new source of making money by farming were found, it would not be long before everybody would be going into it, and it would soon be overdone. So every farmer must fall back on first principles, see what his farm is best adapted to, taken in connection with the markets within reach, the cost of getting his produc tions to market, and then concentrate his energies and abilities on producing the best, so as to get it into market and obtain the highest prices. He wants large yields per acre, and can not have tliAp without good land and the best cShre. He must possess enterprise yd energy, like any other business mj*n, and know whether ho can produce his crops or his stock affa profit or a loss. Where he sees the least change for good profits, he must put lushest foot forward, and market his at the best time and in the mosHutraetive manner. Bad farm ing will pay no man. Intelligence and skill are necessary to reap success. The advantages of stock raising are thus surmised: It brings the most money for the least work; obviates the difficulties of scarcity and unreliability of labor; does not wear out but enrich es the land; turns grass into money without the cost cf making into hay; can be sent on foot, inde pendent of induces a better tillage of smaller areas so as to get larger crops, and leaves other land for ale grazing, and generally allows of a ready realization of profits. An exchange says that the best time to sow salt on land for winter wheat is immediately before the seed is sowu. "Where land is plowed in the fall for spring crops then sow the salt late in the season on the plowed land. It is p "own broadcast when applied \it has been applied with t the rate of from three to V s per acre. But all trou \of that kind may be sav hg it on manure heaps. GEORGIA LEGISLATURE.

Augusta, Maine. augvs-ly PL A T FO it M OP THE NATIONAL DEMOCRATIC PARTY. We, the Delegates of the Democratic Party of the United States in National onvention assembled, do hereby declare the administra tion of Federal Government to be in urgent need of immediate reform. We do hereby enjoin upon the nominees of this o nvention and of the Democratic Party in each State a zealous effort and co-operation to this end, and do hereby appeal to our tetlow-citizens of every former political connection to undertake with ns this first and most pressing patriotic duty of the Democracy of the whole country. We do here affirm our faith in the perma nency of the Federal Union, our devotion to the Constitution of the United States, with its amerkiments universally accepted as a final settlement of the controversies that engender ed civil war, and do hereby record onr stead fast confidence in perpetuity of republican self government; in absolute acquiescence to the will of the majority—the vital principle of republics—in the supremacy of the civil over the military authority; in the total separation of Church and State, for the sake alike of civil and religions freedom; in the equality of all citizens before just laws of their own enact ment; in the liberty of individual conduct ua vexed 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 noblest products of 100 years of changeful history. But, while upholding the bond of our union and great charter of these onr rights, it behooves a free people to prac tice also 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 lie saved from corrupt cen tralism, which, after inflicting upon ten States the rapacity of carpet-bag tyrannies, has honey-oombed the offices of the Federal Gov ernment itself with incapacity, waste and fraud, infected States and 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 all these eleven years to make good the promise of the legal tender notes, which are a changing standard of value in the hands 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 in useless expense without ac cumulating any reserve for their redemp 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 ox 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 aot of 1875, aud we hear demand its repeal. We demand a judi cious syste a 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 fivt 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 and set iu motion the wheels of commerce, manufactures and the mechanical arts, restore employment to labor, and renew, in all its national souroe, the pros perity of the people. Reform is neoessary in 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 upon nearly 4,000 articles, as a masterpiece of injus tice, inequality and false pretence. It yields a dwindling not a yearly rising revenue. " It has impoverished many industries to subsidies a few. It prohibits imports that might purohase the products of American labor. It lias de graded American commeroe from the first, to an inferior rank on the high seas. It has cut down the sale of American manufacturers at home and abroad, and depleted the 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 be for revenue only. Reform is necessary in the scab of public expenses, Federal, State or Municipal. Our Federal taxation has swollen from $60,000,- 000, gold, in 1860, to $140,000,000, currency, in 1870; or, in a decade, from less than $5 per head to more than $lB per head. Since the peace, the people have paid to their tax gatherers more than thriee the sum of the national debt, and more than twice that sum for the Federal Government alone. We demand a vigorous frugality in 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 iu power, which has squandered 200,000,000 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 ot the Republican Congress, and tbe errors of our treaties, and our diplomacy, which have stripped our of foreign hirth and kindred race recrossing the Atlantic of the shield of American citizenship, and have exposed our brethren of the Pacific coast to the incursions of a race not sprung from the same great parent stock, and in fact, now by denied citizen ship through naturalization, as being neither aconstomed to the traditions of a progressive civilization nor exercised in liberty under eqnal laws. We denonnce%toS£oUcy which thus discards the lib erty loving German, and tolerates the revival of the coolie trade in Mongolia 1 women imported for im moral purposes, and Mongolian men hired to perform ser vile labor contracts, and demand such modifica tion of the treaty with the Chinese Empire, or such legislation by Congress within a constitutional limita tion as shall prevent the further imputation or im migration of the Mongol! n race. * Reform is necessary and can never be effected but by making it the controlling issue of the elections and lifting it above the two false issues with which the offloe-holding class ana the party in power seek to smother it—the false issue with which they would enkindle .sectional strife in respect to the public schools, of which the establishment and snppert be longs exclusively to the several States, and which the Democratic party has cherished from their founda tion, and 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 p**o fi.es once estranged but now reunited in one indivis ble Republic and a common doctrine. Reform is necessary in the civil service. Fxpori enee proves that efficient, economical conduct of the Governmental business is not possible if its civil ser vice be subject to change at every election, be * prize fought for at the ballot box, be a brief reward of party Beal, Instead of posts of honor assigned for proved competency and held for fidelity in the public employ; that the disponeiog of patronage should neither be a tax npon the time of all our pnblio men nor the instru 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 effiesrs, these and a*l 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 shew the disgrace and censure of a Vice President a late Speaker of the House of Representatives market ing bts rulings as a presiding Oliver; three Senators profiting secretly by their votes as law-makers; five ebairme 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- rlohing 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 eoinpUcity 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 party lest the disease on one political organizationinfest the body poUtic, and lest by making no change of men or party we can get no change of me sure and no reform. All these abuses, wrongs and crim 8, the product of sixteen years’ asoendeocy of the Republic n party create a necessity for reform confessed by Republi cans themselves, but their refor : ers are oted down in convention and displaced from the Cabinet. The party's mass of honest voters are powerless to resist the 80,000 officeholders, its leaders and guides. Relorm can only be had by a peace, ul civil revol u tlon. We demand a change of system, a change of administration, a change or parties, that we may have a change of measures and of men. f LEGAL ADVERTISEMENTS. HALL, COUNTY.

One Hundred Years Ago! The Gainesville Eagle FCB THE CENTENNIAL MR! In offering the Kaole to the public in the beginning of the moat important in the hundred years of the Nation’s existence, it is proper to return onr 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 1b now better prepared than ever to work in the interests ef the people of Georgia, and to record the important events of the Jay as they transpire, in all parte of the country. The newspapers of this country are fast superseding the public orators and politicians in shaping the af fairs of the government, because they reach thou sands of our stalwart population—men, women and chil dren—who have beoome disgusted with the harangne of designing men, who do not keep, on an averag.osie in fifty of their promises. The year 1876 will be filled with important events and no family who cares to keep poeted can afford to be without at least one newspaper. We submit the following points: 1. Congress meets early in January, and there is no doubt o the fket that it will be tho most important sea si c) since the foundation of the Republic. 2. The Georgia Legislature meets on the 12th day of January, and the question of a Constitutional Con veutiou, the dog law, stock law, the State's indorse ment on railroad bonds, the Treasury complications, etc., etc., are metiers about whtoh tho people want to keep posted. 8. The Presidential compaign on whioh we are Jnst now entering will be the moßt important one in the history of onr country. 4. On the 10th of May the great Centennial eeiebrn bration opens In Philadelphia, and will bo the grandest exhibition ever wltneseed iu any country. 6. A Governor of Georgia, all of the House of Rep resentatives, aud half of the Senate, are to be ehosen this fall; and with the number of candidates for Gu bernatorial honors, both Democratic and Republican, It is eertsln that we are going to have lively times. 6. Congressmen are to be elected in 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 Raonx prom isee 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 np with tho news, we shall also retain our mls mii.nrc.uH solecuous and agricultural and household departments on the outside of our paper. Politically, The Eagle will continue to aot with the Democratic party; but -while it does so, it will contend and batole for the land marks erected by Jefferson, and wilt ex pose corruptions, and fight rings and clique*, let them be fouud wherever they may. To Our Old Patrons, we would say. hilp us extend oub oibouxatioki 1 Let each subscriber interest him or herself in tending 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 eur paper Just about covers the cost of the paper, and the actual labor d OO6 on it; we are, therefore, compelled to establish the rule that we will receive no nem subscriptions unless ao companied by the money . Old Subscribers. Of these, we have many who are prompt—they p tq on sight; and with them we never have trouble. But then we have others who are slow to pay, and this class we earnestly urge to come forward and settle, and aid ns in extending our circulation. Send all moneys by P. O.

RICH, may 28,1878-tf] Davis Street, Gainesville, Ga. SAVANNAH, GA. THE POLITICAL CAMPAIGN of 187 G, which in cludes National, State and county elections, and which will uudobtedly be the most active and hotly contested of any since the memorable canvass of 1860, 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 vital to the prosper ity of the Republic and essential to the well-being of the people. Iu addition to the Presidential election, the people in Georgia and Florida will elect new State governments. In Florida the campaign promises to be nnusually vigorous, and there is a probability that for the first time since the war the people of that Radical-ridden State will elect a Democratic State government, in these campaigns the people of tho South are deeply interested; and every intelligent citizen, who haa the welfare of his country \nd his section at heart, should acquaint himself with every detail of the great work of redemption and reform V at is now going on. To this end he should subscribe to and aesizt in circulating the Savannah Morning !News,iu independant Democratic newspaper, of pronounced opinions and fearless in their expression; a paper that is recognized everywhere as the best daily in the South. Its editorial department 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 not con fined to a mere barren summary of events transpiring in those States, but is enlivened 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 the 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 the earliest chronicler of every noteworthy incident of the politi cal campaign of 1876.
