Department of Agriculture
Atlanta, Ga,, May 3. 1877.
To the Farmers of Georgia :
In view of the war in Europe.—
and the probable scarcity and high
prices of bread stuffs and low price of
cotton which will prevail, 1 again re
spectfully advise that you will, by
every means in your power, increase
the area planted in provision
crops. I suggest checking your
fields of cotton with corn in rows
fifteen to tweenty feet a part, one
hill at every intersection,
With fair seasons, this will very
largely increase the product of corn
without a corresponding decrease of
(lie cotton.
1 further suggest the planting of
the stubble fields in peas so soon as
the wheat and oats shall have boon
harvested.
Pay special attention to the rais
ing of every pound of pork possible.
Take care of th > pigs.
These suggestions are not design
ed to alarm or to create a sensation.
A word to the wise is sufficient.
“A prudent man foreseeth the
evil and hidetli himself, but the
simple pass on and are punished .”
Very respectfully,
Thomas P. janes.
Commissioner of Agriculture.
lion. S. S. Cox, made a short
specoli in Nashville, in the course
of which lie gave ti very luippy way
for democrats to recieve what good
has come to them from the Radical
de facto administration. He said:
All that I claim, my fellow-citi
zens, in behalf of the .Northern De
mocracy, and all that T ask of you as
Southern Democrats, is to stand by
the old tenets of our party; a strict
construction of the constitution ; not
too much federal government in the
wrong direction ; self-government
and home rule among the Stat s ; no
more frauds; no more force upon
the States ; no bayonet rule ; no
more necessity for electoral commis
sions or returning hoards. [Ap
plause.] We have at last the re
lease of the last two states held by
the bayonet; we have a government
in South Carolina chosen by the peo
ple, uitli Hampton at its head ; we
have a government in Louisiana
that represents the integrity, the
honesty, the property, and the liber
ty of the State. For this boon we
are to thank, of course, a republican
de facto administration. Very well;
let ns give thanks for all the bles
sings that may come to us. As I
said the other night to the people of
Memphis, so 1 say to you—even if
the darkest raven brings food' o you,
consume the food and thank God for
the good, even though a raven brings
it. Bu t nevertheless, as democrats,
jealous of the suppression of state
rights and liberty, don’t fail to keep
your eye on the reyen. | Applause
and laughter.] Why I have known
a Tennessee mule to wait six mouths
to get a kick at a man. (Laughter
and applause.) The principles ob
served and protected by the consti
tution will give us self government
in our states as betore the war. Why
have we not had selt government for
the last twelve years m our states?
Who is it now that claims the credit of
setting these states free? A democrat
ic congress put a provision in the ar
my bill that no supplies or money
should be furnished any portion of
the army used for the oppression of
any State, and thus put an end to
bad governments; and now, thank
God, we have better governments
everywhere, and the last cloud which
has hung over the Southern States
has been dissipated, and we have to
day, throughout all the Southern
border a universal bounding forth to
prosperity ; you have the assurance
that your farms and plantations —
will bring forth rich harvests of
food —lands so rich that they need
only to be tickled with the hoe to
make them laugh with the harvest
and bring forth enough to feed all
the world.
Prime Minister Tisga stated in
the Hungarian Diet, that the neu
trality of the Danube had never been
expressly declared, therefore the in

principles of international law.

MINNESOTA.
A special dispatch to the Chicago
Tribune, dated Winona, Minin,
reads as follows : ‘ £ A gentleman of
thiscitv just returned from a tour of
observation through the counties of
Brown, Redwood, Renville and Ni
collet, the worst infected grasshop
per districts in the State, reports as
the results of the numerous ex peri",
ments made m the last two weeks,
that the great bulk of grasshopper
eggs are rotten and will not hatch. In
no case did more than 10 per cent,
of the eggs tried produce “hoppers.”
It seems to ho the general belief
there will be a larger area planted
than last year. More barley and
Oats will ho sown, and with a favor
able season it is estimated that twen
ty-seven or thirty million bushels of
wheat will be raised.
MISSOURI.
The prospective wheat crop in Se
dalia and adjacent counties is very
promising, the exceeding dry Win
ter, although cold having inflicted
no damage of material consequence.
In Saline county, where a large acre
age is growing, the prospect is very
encouraging. ’ In Henry, Bates and
Johnson, and counties extending to
ward the Kansas line more than an
average acreage is growing thrifty.
Along the Osage river and in conn-,
ties south and east farmers are much
elated at the healthy growth and
good stand. In every county in cen
tral Missouri it is believed the acre
age of corn that will bo planted this
Spring will far exceed that of last
year. Farmers are now very busy
plowing. The peach and apple
crops and other small fruits promise
an abundant vield.
ILLINOIS.
The cold and wet weather preven
ted the beginning of farm operations
as early as usual. It is generally re
ported that every available acre of
land will be worked, and operations
commenced at the earliest possible
date.
CALIFORNIA.
Tne late rains appear to have
been very beneficial throughout the
State. The Sanfrancisco Commer
cial states that ‘‘except m a strip of
territory in the Sacramento Valley,
the rainfall averaged from half an
inch to an inch and a quarter. The
southern counties, where moisture
was most needed, received a goodly
and timely supply, which has great
ly revived tlie spirits of those engag
ed in agricultural pursuits. In San-'
diego a half crop is confidently an
ticipated, where a few days ago
nothing was expected, and the bee
farmers of that region estimate that
the rainfall will have the effect of
more than doubling the yield of lion 1
ey.”
‘VIRGINIA.
The Petersburg Index and Appeal
says that preparations have been
made for planting an immense area
with tobacco this season, and that,
if nothing occurs to injure the crop,
it will be one of the largest ever
grown in .Virginia. Every planter
will enlarge his area. We also learn
that there is a great abundance of
good plants now too large to be ma
terially affected by the fly.
LOUISIANA.
* All reports from this State are fa
vorable. In Iberville parish there is
“a fair increase of acreage,” and to
ail accounts 20 per cent, more would
have been planted had the weather
proved more favorable. Cane is do
ing finely. The Opelousas Courier
states “many of our planters have
finished planting their corn, some
have already begun planting cotton,
and all agree that the season thus far
is one of the best we have Had for
years.” There is some complaint
from the section around West Baton
Rouge, but nothing of a serious na
ture.
MISSISSIPPI.
The Aberdeen Examiner says:
“Without doubt wo are having the
finest farming season ever known
in this region. The land is mel
low and cultivated with much less
labor than usual; the plow stock is
all in fine condition, the hands are
working intelligently and well; and
corn planting is nearly ‘completed in
the prairie lands of the country,
while admirable headway is being
made everywhere. The farmers
without exception predict a splendid
oat crop, while wheat is turning out
much better than we had any rea
son to hope it would a few weeks
ago.”
TEXAS.
The latest reports indicate less de
vastation by grasshoppers, and in fact
the “total destruction” reports seem
to have nearly died out. From
nearly all sections there is little fear
of loss of wheat, but oats appear to
have been considerably damaged.
The prospects are t hat there will be
a greater acreage in cotton and corn,
and a decrease in oats, more than
the average acreage of wheat, which
looks well, except where the ravages
of the hoppers have injured the same
From Limestone. Brazos, Colin,
Boberton and I’atrieo counties t lie
“bluest” reports come, but some of
these would give the opinion that
most of the hopper damages have
been done to garden vegetables.
Owing to the refusal of the (Sen

Columbia, May 5. 1 have just
been placed in possession of infor
mation which m.iv he interesting to
the House Joint Committee, who
are considering the claims of ihe
members of MaekeY s bogus House
tu seats m the House of Peprcsenta
tives It will be remembered that while
the State House was occupied by the
members of the House and by the
Mackey crew, supported by the Fed
eral troops and Chamberlain's con
stabulary, there was considerable
talk about the use of force to expel
the legal members from the building
and that under these threats Gene
ral Wallace and the members of (be
House actually left the place in or
der to avoid a collision. The true
inwardness of the plot has been dis
closed to me by a member of the
House who bore a prominent part in
the Mackey farce, and from him 1
have learned of the existence of the
most murdeious and diabolical con
spiracy that has ever existed in the
Palmetto State. Wy informant,
whose name 1 am compelled to witli
old for the present, states that an
agreement was entered into between
Mackey and Chamberlain to secure
the murder of all or at least of
most, of the members of the House,
and at the same time to secure their
own specious hides, and those of
their ignorant followers, from harm.
The Plan of the Murder,
Mackey was to write a formal
communication to Chamberlain,
stating that the business of the
House of Representatives was being
declared by the presence of a number
of: turbulent persons, and requesting
him to have them remov
ed. Of course he referred to tho
members of the legal House. Chain
berlain, upon receipt, of this com
munication, was to organize a con
stabulary force of about one hun
dred and fifty men, well armed, and
these were to be entrusted with the
duty to removing the legal members
by killing them. The conspiracy
was carried out to the extent of the
writing of the letter by Mackey and
the organization of the constabulary.
One hundred and fifty of these cut
throats were collected together, ar
med with Winchester rifles, and
were secreted in the W ays and Means
Committee room, in the first lloor
of the State House.
The it incileaders.
These were commanded by John
I*. Dennis and the notorious negro
Whipper, who were intrusted with
the duty of superintending the job
of murdcrino the members of the
House. The plan was arranged as
follows : Mackey and his crowd, in
order to save their carcases, were to
retire from the hall and seek shelter
in the Adjutant and Inspector Gen
eral's office, which had been barrica
ded and prepared for the purpose
As soon as they had got out of the
way, Dennis and Whipper, with
their fellowcnt throats, were to go
into the hall and bring on a difficul
ty with the members by attempting
to oust them. They would be resis
ted, of course, and would at one op -
en lire and kill the whole crowd. In
the meantime, the Federal troop.?
were to be in readiness to come to
their assistance (as of course they
would have to interfere in case of
a disturbance), but things were so
arranged that the job would be com
pleted before they arrived, and the
State House had been put in a posi
tion to be.defended against an cut
side attack. Mackey hoped, by this
plan, to get rid of the legal House of
Representatives, and to Gave him*
self recognized asSpeaker and Cham*
berlain as Governor. My informant
adds that the only reason ihc mem
bers escaped was through the fore
sight of Speaper Wallance, who on
the day upon which the murder was
to have taken place, instructed the
members of the House to withdraw.
Had they not done so, not a man of
them would have been left to tell
the tale. lam not at liberty as yet
to reveal the name of my informant
but when the proper steps are taken
to ferret out the matter, I think 1
can produce witnesses who were cog
nizant of the entire ploot.
A granger’s misfortune. — An
old farmer, down near Milwaukee,
made up his mind that he’d have
to dabble a little m wheat with tho
rest of the hoys. So lie sailed in,
operating through a commission
house. His judgement led him to
“go long,” and he bought for June
A few days afterward come the war
news, and the market began to
bulge. It jumped up so fast that it
made the old mans head swim. He
couldn’t figure fast enough to keep
up with the profits ; blithe trusted
to his commission house and went in
the other day to settle up. His as*
tonishment was uncontrolable, and
he could hardly believe his senses,
when he found that his profits
amounted to $33,000, Of course he
felt good. Said tiie commission
man. “It’s the worst money you ev
er made.” “What do you say that
for ?” asked the farmer, with some
surprise. “Because it will end in
\our losing the SO,OOO that you star
ted in with,” was the significant re
ply . The old gentleman looked sad,
but he put the $33,000 in his pocket
just the same.— Winond Republican.
The managers of the burned hotel
at St Louis attempted to collect
bills of ttic guests who occupied
rooms on the fatal night. What
made the guests mad was because the
managers charged them a dollar ex

War I cni.
A proclamation of the Indepen
dence of Roumania and a simultane
ous declaration of war against Tur
key have been agreed upon in a pri
vate conference of Senators and Dep
uties. Braiidino, President of the
Ministry, was present at the confer
ence.
Itfis thought Russia will not re
ply to Lord Derby's note. The Rus
sian telegraph agency, however,
foreshadows a reply which concludes:
“The English Cabinet cannot extri
cate itself from this dilemma, ex
cept by proclaiming that England is
the first Mussulman power in the
world, and that she consequently
wishes for the maintenance of tho
Turkish dominion over Christians,
even at the cost of their extermina
tion. Mo hold the English nation
in too great esteem to believe it
would sanction such a policy.”
A Turkish gunboat seized four
vessels on the Danube, sailing un

A Turkish monitor bombarded

It is reported that the Roumani

A New Hampshire paper relates
that at Newton, in that state, a

some of the hay became soaked with

A dangerous insurrection is re
ported to have broken out in the ar

spread over Chili and Shantung,

The trade between the Argentine
Republic and tho United States lias
shown little variation in character
or amount since 1870. It was loss
in 1875, the average, so far as as

This it a small share in the com

Cardinal McCloskey. Long before

which goes towards the reduction of

The Attorney General has been
requested by the Postmaster Gen
eral to examine the law of the last
Congress, giving the different exe
cutive departments the right to send
official communications through the
mails free of charge, and to give his
construction of the meaning and in
tent of said law. Some hold that
the law is not mandatory, and that
the departments may continue the
use of the official stamps, but those
qualified to speak express the opin
ion that, under the law, the use of
official stumps must be discontinued
after the end of the present fiscal
year.
On the 30th of June of the pre
sent year the treaties of commerce
and navigation between France and
the principal countries of Kuropeex
pire, and two years thereafter France
is free to regulate her customs and
navigation tariffs upon anew basis.
The Minister of Finance has called
upon all the chambers of commerce
of France for expressions concerning
the relative desirability of regula
tions by treaty and by general tariii
imposing ad valorem duties. There
appears to be great unanimity in fa
vor of treaty regulations in the re
lilies to bis appeal, and it is probable
that government action will be
ken in that direction, and extended,
so far as it may seem to be of mu
tual benefit, to the countries interes

Tin* Cotton In lit j
Wes cm to he nearly as much l*c
hinuhaud tn cotton manufacturing
as we excel the world in cotton
growing. We have but 218 spindles

Great Britain has 1,180 per thou&ind

en percent of our total cotton minu*
fac lures while Great Britain exports
eighty-five per cent, of her®. We
have a multitude of people unem

manufacturing capacity, even at a
time when everybody is rigidly econ

ahead of the home demand. We
consume, at this tine*, at home, all
hut seven per cent, of the cotton
goods we make. With the return
of good times and the natural in
crease in consumption our cotton
manufacturers would be hardly able
to supply the home market, and if.
as seems not improbable, we shall
have a steadily increasing foreign de
mand for our goods, wo shall mod
more cotton mills. Indeed, we
know of prudent and well inform

lieve that if Hit Southern troubles

to invest money in ncw'miUs at once,

are. tempted by the mild climate and
cheap lands of the Southern States
to begin the culture of cotton. It
appears that in this as in every oth
er business the most skillful and in
dustrious make the greatest profit.
It appears also that even so far South
as Texas cotton is profitably raised
by white farmers, and that negro la
bor is not absolutely necessary in a
cotton field. The Southern States
want emigrants, and the accounts
published by us show that they are
prepared to welcome all who come.
The settlement of the Southern
troubles, which seems near at hand,
will, we have no doubt lead to such
a state of good feeling in the South
as will draw many Northern men
and Europeans to the cotton States.
There is no doubt at all that work
ingmen who desire to buy cheap
land and become farmers have bet
ter opportunities in such States as
Texas at this time than in auv
Northern State ; audit would not
surprise us to see the tide of Euro
pean imigration hereafter setting
toward the cotton Spates. But the
people of those States should remem
ber that the best, the most indus
trious and useful class immigrants
from Europe seek out those States
where they find free schools, church
es tree speech and a hearty welcome,
and with an unfailing instinct, go
there and nowhere else.— Herald.

A man was yesterday pushing an
iron lawn-roller around a yard on
Woodward avenue, when ail old hvly
came along, leaned up against the
fence and watched him fora while,
and then called out :
“Say, Mister, what arc yon push
ing that around for ?”
“To roll the lawn/’ be answered.
“What do you want to roll the
lawn for ?”
“To roll the lawn.*’ lie answered,
“What do you want to roll the
lawn for ?”
“To make it level.”
: -What do you want to make it ley
el for ?”
she continued.
“That’s what I was ordered to do,
lie answered, as he wiped away the
perspiration.”
“But what did they order you to
do it for ?”
“Why they think ;i smooth lawn
looks the best, I suppose.”
“Why do they think a smooth
lawn looks the best ?” she persisted.
“I haven’t time to talk,” lie said as
he started up again.
“Why haven’t you time to talk ?”
siie shouted,
“Go’n ask the boss I ’ lie yellod.
“Why shall 1 go’n ask the boss ?”
she screamed.
He disappeared behind the house
to get rid of her, and after waiting
five minutes for him to reappear she
slowly sauntered off, muttering :
“Some folks are so smart ad
stuck up that you can't get wit hia

Mr. II RStevens:
Dear Sir—As you arc An entire stranger to me I
want you to know what VEGETINE his d.. n . tor
me. Only those who have been raised from cl. ath
door can know the value of such a good medicine 1
am 58 years of age. Three years ago I was taken
sick with what the doe tori called Lumbago, l.i
weeks I was confined to my bed. I had three differ*-lit
physicians, without any help. I receive 1 no r. h. f
I was a gnat sufferer ; finally I became entii. l .
helpless. The last doctor told me there vas n<> help
he -aid he might possibly save my life by eject ii
morphine in my arms and leg,. The encouiagem. nt
for saving my life by having this done was so mull
a chance I could not afford to run the rial;. Al .it
this time ray son read your adrer isement in our
l*per, a testimony of a person who had been v 1 .
sick with about the same complaint, and Was cui. 1
My son went right away to the apothecary store an •
bought a lottle of Vegetine. Before 1 had u -od lb.-
first bottle I found great relief; I could move 1. y
self in bed. After taking three bottles I was able
to sit up and move about my room. I contiued ta
king the Vegetine, and I wa- in a few weeks restm -
ed to my former health. The Vegetine saved my
life after the physicians said there was no help for
me. I have had no doctor since. If I feel unwell I
take a dose of Vegetiw?, and I recommend it to un
friends
Vour Vegetine ought to be in every family. M ,
doctor was surprised to see me in good health. II
says Vegetine is a good medicine. I tell him it ear
ed me. lie says, “it is true. - ’ I cannot feci t.,..
