Tux Los nos Tuna —Mr. Jamea Grant, In hit new book on the “Newspaper Frees of Lon don," expresses Iho opinion that tbo profile of the London Times ero $2,300,000 per annum. Oottow gave way in New York yoatordey ia the extent of a quarter of a cent. Io Liverpool, however, the market was strong with heavy sales. We invite attention to some cotton arti cles from tbo New York Commercial and I inen- cisl Chronicle, in this edition. Wxjtddx Vtttun ini> the Coxmpxz. — •’Scratch New York,” aaya Philips, "andyou will find tbe Commune.” Accordingly ho lies been "scratching New York" with one of his bull briar speeches, and the lettor writers say ha found communists by legions. Be received • t remondous ovat ion and put himself at the hoed of the G rand Labor movement, upon which be le to floet, now that the anli-alavery aoow has erased to bo Available. Philips, who never earned a dollar by labor, ia profoundly im pressed by tbe grand thought that Ibo poor must be fed by taxing "tbe rich." Fsauce ssn nn Ewrnm.—The Faria corres pondent of the World asserts that the prospects of the empire are brightening daily—taking on new strength from tbe terrors constantly dis played by Thiers, which are betraying him into all kind* of tyrannies, as well as from the stag* nation of trade and tbe prostration of industry, Moreover, tbe Orleanist Trinces and Count Chamburd are powerfulonlyin their mutual ani mosities. Ckambord has declared that be, him self, "would prefer the wild stock who last year waa heir of the empire,” lo the Count de Paris, whose grandfather forced his mother, tbe Ducb. ern de Berry, to make poblie that she was mother during her widowhood. Hcantxa'a Cubiitma* Pees ext.—Io tbe Senate tbe other day, Hnmner pathetically urged upon his brethren tbo passage of a supplementary civil rights bill, providing for a perfect admix ture of colon, ns a noble Christmas present to tbe colored race. On Tuesday last, bo intro duced a bill for "mixed schools in the District of Columbia," and besought early action of Congress, insisting that the example would be followed everywhere. Sumner is moonstruck on this subject. Tbe effort to establish "mixed schools” in Washington and elsewhere, by law, will result simply in turning Ibo schools over to tbe black* and no amount of legislation will bring about tbe social Intermixture whieh lie seems to think so essential to the welfare of the blaoks. And so far as we can see, tbo Mac.i»— tbe real negroes—do not desire association with the whites. It ia only the mulattoes who are dissatisfied with "colored associations" and in slat on crowding among tbe whites in schools, churches, theatres, oars, steamboats and hotels, and enforcing sneb intrusion by law. BaMta Cun' Haasqv annas.—We look a stroll, yesterday, through Ibis popular plaee, and found Messrs. Brown A Co. np to their ayes, almost, in a wealth of attractions for the holidays. They have never bad a larger nor better selected stock of Christmas goods on band, nor sold at more reasonable prioes. There ia aeareeiy anything that can be desired in the line of books, toys, and faney goods of every description, lacking from their well filled shelves and counters, and glittering ahow-oaaes. In the line of pocket diaries, memorandum books, pocket book* and portmonnaies, of the moat elegant workmanship, they can suit any taste or pocket. We especially noticed acme Russia leather pocket books that, empty or full, cer tainly deserve to bo a joy forever. Tbe timea am indeed hard, but we bare a superstition ibat with auch a neat of beauty and fragrance in one's pocket wooing the stamps, they couldn't resist coming down. But a column would fail to enumerate all tbo beautiful and useful articles in this collection. Only a personal inspection can convey an idea of its extent and attractiveness. Be sure and call and judge for yoanelf. A Uxonuus.—:Samuel J. Anderson, whose at tempt at anioide, by euttiug bis throat, in New York city, last Friday, has been announced by telegraph, was a Georgian by birth, from the neighborhood of Atlanta. He was private Sec retary to Gov. George Crawford, when that gentleman occupied tbe gubernatorial, chair, and afterwards chief elerk of the War Depart ment when Gov. C. waa Secretary of War tinder President Taylor. Ho also held a prominent position, at one time, in the Clerk's Offioe of tha 1'. 8. House of Representatives. He deputy marshal of New York city at the begin ning of the war, and was sent to Fort LaFsystte for disloyalty. Sinoe the war be haa held offloe under the municipal government of that eity and more recently waa a elerk in the offloe of Comptroller Connolly, and after that official's resignation famished soma facts and figures going to prove that frauds bad been perpetrated to the Committee of 8eveniy, by whom be ex- peeled to be rewarded with money or a more lucrative position. His claims were ignored, however, and henee his effort to take hia life. Truly a sad ending for a man whose fortunes were ooeo so flourishing. A Goto xx Caroinr—.We read tha account of bow that aoallawsg, from Camden county, (Htllyer) was eanght gouging the treasury in tha matter ot mileage,—in our yesterday's legislative report—with peculiar satiafa Ha charged mileage for 1,000 miles from Da rien, and whan caught, pleaded ignorance of the diatanoe! Could anything be more charac teristic of tha specie.? But ha was made to disgorge—the first oase of the kind even known la Georgia or any other Southern State, sinoe the grand thieves' raid of reconstruction. It waa a small sum, but we like tbs precedent. Perhaps, no*, that it ha* bean established, and the feet demonstrated that a developer eon b# mads to diagora*, some ot tbe big plunder er* may be served tbe aam* way. Anyway, we accept it aa a hopeful augury. But, tan t there any more gougers of Hill- yer’a sort, In the House? We would like to •eawhat results a rigid investigation would develop*. On* thing it certain: If there waa no mileage bait to tempt the dishonest, there could not be any gougen of this stripe at least. Apropos of this episode in Hilly**’* lif«, the Atlanta Sun, of yesterday, tall* this atory. u •ay* Our readers will remember that on motion of tbe Hon. Mr. dower, one of tbe negro mem bers of lb* House, a committee wm appointed to inquire into tbe oause of tbe United btates flag being taken down from the Capitol, who Investigated and reported that it had been doo* by order of the soling Governor. Mr. Uillyer chided dower for eUUcg for tbe investigation—t. U him he did not know what be waa about, and that be bad playod tbe very d—1; so we bear. When Uillyer waa arraigned for overdraviti. 1 .* mileage. Closer nulled, and u aimed JT MBfwwhs'sfteycflflto*—1 aev?” Two ol Them. Thera are two of them in Atlanta. One is B. Conley, who claims to be Governor with as much show of law and reason a* if he claimed to be Cham of Tartary. Conley, withe view of showing that the Legislature of Georgia, then in semi on, was not a Legislature, surrep titiously removed the United State* flag from over the chambers, and when the oolored Radi cals inquired “who lole dat ar flag?" and ap pointed a oolored committee to find out, there ooold be no other response than “B. Conley," sed precisely so the oolored chairman (dower, of Manroe), wm forced io answer. But, never theless, twelve hours after removing the flag and vowing he would hold no communication with the Legislature, Conley waa quietly send ing it official message* He had to take the back track, and be haa got to do it again. Tbe other chap is tbe Daily New Era, who publishes the proceedings of the Legislature under tbe head of “ Public meeting at the Capitol,” and says: A number of tbe citizens of Georgia, styling themselves Senators and Representatives of said State, met in tha Capitol building yester day. We publish the following report aa items of new* These do not merely call themselves “Sena tors and Representative*" aa Conley calls him self Governor, but they are auch by tbe voice of tbe people and tbe authority of the Consti tution, and the New Era, like Conley, will find out that their claim to be a Legislature will have to bo respected. r. N (i llalloch'a School Commissioner. Tbe Savannah Republican, of Tuesday, say* We regret to see that, in it* superabundance of ootucivalium, tbe Senate has reconsidered tbe resolution requesting Gen. Lewis to resign bis position of Superintendent of Education for tbe Bute. It is enough that the people of Georgia do not desire him to hold the position, whether oompetenCor not. He cannot be use ful in it While Georgia has equally oompetant and far more experienced men of her own, will- log to take tbe plaee, her people are unwilling to set them all aside and go to the Federal army •ad Freedman's Bureau for a stranger to super intend the education of their children. And in this they are reasonable. There is no State in the I.Tfcrm that would not feel tbe same way, and if the Senate Committee should do their duty and respect the wishes of their constitu ents, they will promptly report back this resolu tion with a recommendation that it do pass.— If Gen. Lewis bad anything like proper sensi bilities, he would promptly surrender the trust, and not wait to be invited out of an office which be clearly bolds sgsinst tbo wishes of our poo- pie. We sgroe with the Republican. If Lewis were not just what be is, an unscrupulous, greedy carpet-bagger, with no thought nor care beyond bow much money he can make out of his office, he would at once resign the position into which his pstron, the fugitive Bullock, thrust him to the disgust of all decent people. He does not suit the place nor the place him, and least of all tbe people. We have plenty of Georgians of ton-fold the experience and ca pacity who aro in sympathy with the wants and sentiments of their fellow oitizens, end one of them should be put in Lewis' plsce as speedily as possible. His appointment was an insult to the while people of the State, and should be eancelled at tbe earliest possible moment. We do not know tbe Senate's reason for reconsider ing tbe resolution requesting him to reaigo, but it cortainly should be a strong one to reconcile tbeir constituents to a line of policy that seems oalculated to retard or binder a consummation so devoutly to be wished as the resignation of thi* man. S The Bond Bill. Durine the dobate on tbe passage of this bill over Conloy's veto, our Senator, Hon. Tbo* J. Simmons, chairman of the Senato Finanoe Com mittee, made, as wo lesrn, a very strong and effective speech, which we regret was not re ported at length in some one of the Atlanta papers. We find tbe following abstract of it in the Chronicle and Sentinel of Tuesday. It sent by tbe Atlanta correspondent of tbst paper: Mr. Simmons, of the Finanoe Committee, said ibat tbe members of tbst committee were so fearful of committing error in what has been reported to tbe bouses of tbe Legislature, tbst tbe most expert and respectable financial men within reach of tbe committee bad been con sulted, and tbeir moot unqualified approbation was passed upon what they had embodied in tbe bill which waa then in review before them and whieh had fallen under tbe Exooutivo veto. Tbe message wm a most remarkable document and an insult to the Legislature. It almost, in so many words, accused Senators and members of a design to repudiate engagements of tbe State, and blacken tbe fame ot Georgians. Tbe Sen ator said the Finance Committee bad before them tbe Treasurer of tbe State, and be was asked to declare before them what the debt of tbe State waa, and bis reply should never be forgotten : " Neither I, nor any other man on earth can answer that question.” Why is the honor of tbe State to be blasted by tbe disavowal of a rascally elaim on it, or by tbe refusal to ac knowledge a demand that ia utterly fraudulent? Do men suffer in the publie opinion who thus protect themselves ? It is the plea of robbers and the confederates of robbers that, let it be a* it may, demands must be acknowledged and paid, simply for fear of tbe evil fame of repu diate™. Wby ia our credit now bailed in the dust? Let tbe men who have ran riot with tbeir power just (lipped ont of tbeir bands, answer. The way to keep the credit of Geor gia when it has been brought by Radical mis rule is to pretend to do wbat all sane men know we cannot do—to pay tbe huge mass of bonds, legal as well as fraudulent, which, Ibioker than the leaves of the forest, are strewn over tbe length and breadth of the land. And here a little Dutchman, who can’t speak plain, oomas and publishes a letter, addressed to tbe Legulatnre, in one of our city papers, advis ing ua what to do to keep tbe honor and credit of our beloved State from disgrace. He would advise all intermeddlen and lobbyists, aa bo advised this Dutchman, to pack tbeir carpet bags and get out of the way of gentlemen and men of honor, who know their duty to them selves and the pnblio, and mean to do it. It looks like madness when the very Treas urer himself cannot tell whether tbe State debt is 17,000,000 or 25.000,000 to go on, and declare our resolve to pay all claimants without asking any questions. This is repudiation with a vengeance, and gentlemen had better aea this in time. Political Maneuvering at Washing ton—The "One Term" Parly. The Baltimore Sun's Washington correspond ent under date of Sunday hat, says it is stated by persons who are in the movement, bnt who object to their names being used in print, that a conference of leading democrats in Congress was actually held there last week, with several anti-Grant republicans, who are at work organising an opposition party, to ooalease with the democracy to prevent Grant's re-elec tion. All that resulted at the meeting waa a universal acquiescence in a resolution declaring in favor of tbe one-term principle for tbe Pres idency. Tbe anti-Grant republicans expressly declared that they desired to leave tbe demo eratic party free from all ooalitioo, yet to leave it prepared to act with vigor and wisdom at the proper time. In the meantime, the "one-term” party will soon be ready, it is assumed, to de. valope Us line of battle. Alt it is proposed that the democrats shall do, as an independent organisation, to to support the "one-term” prm> ciple and declare for it in caucus or convention. Tbe following is the resolution agreed on at the conference already held: "Resolved, That we will henceforth Inscribe upon our banner* tbe one-term principle for tbe Presidency of the United States, and will likewise proclaim among our teats for tha com ing campaign against vice, corruption, confed erated wealth and aristocracy, these of "no more monarchy in America,” "no more stand ing army,” and no candidate for Chief Magis trate, under the new yearning of the worid for peso* who repreeenta or typifies the art cf war.” Tbe Georgia Radicals Meditating a Trick. The Constitution, ot yesterday, says a totter m received in that eity the day before, dated tbe 8th inst., from a distinguished souroe at Washington, which bad tbe following para graph. We call the special attention of Demo- crate everywhere to it. They must watch out for this trick and trump it by arousing majority for Smith. Bay* the writer: “I heard to-day that tha Geoigia Radical* did not propose to nominate publicly a candi date for Governor against Smith, bnt proposed to vote a silent vote for tbe man they agree upon. Tbe negroes and white Radioale are to be posted beforehand; the negroes to be furnished with tickets beforehand with tbe name of tbe Badicai candidate upon it. They hope that by not running a candidate the Democrats will feel eo confident of eaeocm that they will make but • amall effort to bring out our foil vote; that the necrose and white Radical being folly — the, recent move will oome out in 1 ‘h fcrce and be enabled to steal the election from na.

The Columbus Enquirer notes the marriage at Enfauto, last Thursday night, of Miss Anna B., daughter of Bon. Eli S. Shorter, of that plaee, to CoL A. JL Leftwiah, of Lynchburg, Va. So Eufouto hoi lost its belle. Lina Whitfield, e negresa, aged one hundred and. ten yean, died on Tuesday, at Savannah. Counterfeit United Btates Treasury notei of tbe denomination of $5, $10 and $20 are in circulation at Savannah, and one or two arrests of suspected parties have been made. Tbe Savannah Advertiser, of Tuesday, siya Swedish Esaonairrs rox Mosnox Countt.— The steamship Herman Livingston, from New York, which arrived yesterday morning, brought out seventy Swedish emigrant* They were quartered at Mr. D. McConnell's, and their gen eral appearance elicited moat favorable com ment from all who saw them. They are a ro bust, hearty set, with the glow of health appa rent upon all their countenance?. Tbe female poitton were especially observed (or their fine, frank looking faces, and the neatneM displayed in tbeir apparel. The Swedes left last evening in charge of Mr. Geo. W. Adams for Foray tb, Monroe county, where they will be distributed through tbe county m farm laborer* servant*, etc. Another paragraph in the same paper says three of these Swedes deserted from the party, and up to Monday night had not been found. Mr* Nelson, a well known and greatly ea teemed lady of Colombo* died tost Monday. Mesar* E. E. Yonge, C. H. Williams and George W. Grime* have been respectively elected Treasurer. City Attorney and City Phy sician, of Columbus. The Mayor's salary has been fixed at $1,000; Treasurer, $1,000; City Attorney, $200; City Physician, $500; Mar shal, $1000, and to koep and feed his own horse, and Deputy Marshal the same. Rev. D. S. T. Douglas, of Lumpkin, has ao- eepted the position of President of the Farlow Female College of America* Alex Jackson and John William* negroes, were arrested at Colombo* on Monday, charged with setting fire to the store of Col. Barden, of that ptoo* toot week. Tbe evidence against them Is very strong. Ibe Columbus Sun of Tuesday says: A Nxw Mode or Kaisnto Monet Adopted bt the Psekbitebiah Chubch.—A new plan, in lieu of the system of renting pew* has been adopted by the Presbyterian Church. It was announced Bunday. Tbo church numbers noarly 300 members. To pay all expenses some $125 per week is required. The pastor is paid $200 each mouth. The plan adopted provides for freo pews. Families can retain those they have been accustomed to, or change with others by agreement, but it to clearly understood that all the pews are free. Each person of the regular congregation, is to be asked by proper authority wbat amount be or she can contribute for the year. This ia reported to the treasurer. The amount subscribed by each is divided into fifty- two equal sums. An envelope, marked with this fractional ebarg* is famished each on a every Sunday, as tbe offioera pass around, tbe sub. seriber deposits his envelope with tbe money enclosed, into tbe receptacle. The treasurer deducts ibis sum from (be total subscription of tbe individual. If a subscriber misses sny Sun day or Sunday* ho brings up, when be does oome, envelopes for each day missed. The Chronicle and Ssntinol of Taeaday prints ibis item: Glue Won't Do.—Our readers will no doubt, remember tbe massive and burglar proof looking ballot box which was used at uie State election last December. It bad threo looks amf three key* and only one small opening for tbo bal lot* It looked aa strong as a bank vault, yet it WMu't It must have been putting on air* for it seems now to be very week. On yester day it happened to be put in front of tho fire in tbe office of tbe Clerk of tbe Superior Court, end tbe heavy botton fell out of its own mo tion. It was glued to tbe box, and the beat was bad for tbe glue. There was still another bottom, but it looked as if it only needed a lit tle prizing to fall out too. In making ballot boxo* nails or screws should be used. They don't look aa well, but they are stronger than gluo. An iron safe would make a good box, and the county should buy one. It is lnoky that tbe Democrats insisted upon setting u during tbe eleotion nights tost December. 1 they bad not, tbe bottom of tbe box might bave come off, and there wonld have been troublo in getting tbe votes back. By all means let us bave an iron safe next time. Mr. D. L. Boober, of Columbus, was run over by a bone and buggy on Monday and badly braised. Tbe Federal Union, of Tuesday, says: Colobed Methodist Contesxkcz.—Tbe an Dual Conference of tbeeoloredUothodist Church convenes in this eity to-day (Wednesday.) We learn that about two hundred preachers are ex- jjeutea to tm iu MUouaance. Bishop Yanderbosrt, of Charleston, will preside. We learn that Biahop Pierce is expected to be present. Tbe use of tbe Methodist Church having been granted to tbe Conference, tbe usual services for tbe white people during tbe week and on next Sabbath will be suspended. The galleries will, however, be open for the whites on next Sabbath. The Atlanta Sun, of yesterday, has tbe fol lowing items: A Female Lobbtist.—The Bond Ring have in tbeir employ a smart, intelligent, handsome tody, from New York, who is exerting her charming influence in tbeir behalf. This kind of lobbying baa been quite successful in Wash ington and other cities farther North. We be lieve it was never before introduced in Georgia. Of oome she is in tbe interest of Henry Clews A Co. Dad* Countt Panoxias.—These persons, charged with violating tha enforcement aot, by interfering with the free exercise of one Severn Howell, (colored) were brought before Commis sioner Smith yesterday. Their names are as follows: W. P. H. Tatum, E. W. M. Tatum, W. P. Sharroek. J. G. Hall, W. L. Stewart, B. Haney, R. H. Tatum, J. W. Blevins, A. Mo ll ryor, W. Amos, J. Holland and Thomas Shar- rock. After a abort investigation and some eensult a- tion, it wm determined to postpone the investi gation proper, until Friday, 3 r. aa. The priso ners —at least some of them—are disposed to betray andimplioate each other, and also to in volve several citizens of Northeast Georgia in the charge. The Constitution of same date says: Damian Arrzxrr to Rob.—On Monday nigbt, Mr. Ransomo, elerk for J. J. Marbut, on Deca tur street, near of the Air-Line Railroad cross ing, hoard a considerable noise aronnd tbe store, and thinking it near day, got np and lighted a candle. He then went to the back door to look out, when three negro men came np and said that they wanted to buy a candle. He got a candle. And they banded him a ragged fifty cent fractional note, whioh was a counterfeit. Mr. Ransoms declined to take it They then asked him to change a $5 bill, but he replied be bad no change. Two of them were stand ing ta front of torn, and tho other bad slipped, unperoeived, to tbe end of the counter to pre vent his escape. Those in front of him de manded what money he had, attempting to shoot (both having pistols), bnt their pistols snapped. Mr. Ransoms pulled out of the desk a revolver, but it also snapped. Tbe despera does ran out of tbe store. Just aa they were making tbeir exit, Mr. Ransoms fired, the ball striking the door. As the unarmed negro ran out he gathered up Mr. Banaome'a boot* and earned them off. This was all they obtained r ieir raid. Mr. Bansome is confident he can tify tbe parties. A Test Question In Hie Senate. The morning telegrams represent tbe United States Senate in agonies upon a retrenchment resolution brought forward by Mr. Trumbull, on whieh the Grant and anti-Grant Senators are dividing and will display their relative strength in that body. The Grant Senators object to tha sweeping character of the inquiries and justly fear something may be struck which ought not to be brought to light. Trumbull’s resolution ta as follows: Resolved, That, tbe House of Representatives concurring, a joint select committee on re trenchment, consisting of four members of the Senate and seven members of the House, be ap pointed by tbe presiding offioen of the two bouse* and that said committee be instructed to inquire into the expenditures in all the branches of the serrioe of the United Btates and to report whether acy and whit offices ought to be abolished; whether sny and what salaries or allowanees ought to be red needwbat are the methods of procuring sooountability in publio offioen or agents in tbe care and dis bursement of publie moneys; whether tbe moneys bare been paid ont illegally; whether sny offioen or agents, or other persons have been or are employed in tbe service without authority of law or unnecessarily, and generally bow and to what extent tbe expenses of the service of the country may and ought to be curtailed; and also to consider the expediency of so amending the laws under which appoint meets to the publie service are now made as ti provide for the selection of subordinate offioen after due examination by proper board* their oontiunanoe in offioe daring specified terms, unless dismissed apon charges' preferred and General Assembly of Georgia.

The report represents the condition of the Bute as greatly improved and promising in all respect* Mr. Hillyer moved that 100 copies of the re port be printed, and that it be made the special order for to-morrow. Carried. Ur. Simmons offered a resolution, that where a* the press of tbe State, in consideration of its incalculable contribution to tbe political, moral and material progress xn4 prosperity of tbe State, has for several years past been ex empted from taxation; and wberea* tbe press is now required, by direction of tbe Comptroller General, to pay taxe* not only for the present year but also for past yean, therefore, be it Resolved, That the press of the State be re lieved from tbe operation of tbe tax law* to •wait tbe action of tbe General Assembly upon the matter at its next regular session, beginning on tbe second Wednesday in Janaary, 1872. - Mr. Hillyer favored the resolution and boped that newspapers wonld be exempt. Mr. Reese opposed the resolution. A similar proposition had failed at the last session of tbe Legislature. He knows of no principle which ought to exempt newspapers from taxation.— Large amounts of capital are invested in this way which yields remunerative income* News papers do not demand tbe foetering care of tbe Bute as a new institution. We are told tbst they are the educators of the people, bnt they are at least no more so than the preachers, teachers and lawyers of the ooantry, and they are not exemst from taxation. Mr. Hillyer agreed with the gentleman, that no class of men do more to educate and elevate the people than the lawyer* but be was mis taken in considering publication of a newspa per a paying institution, for his experience in the practice of law had proved to him the oon- Nichols moved to Uy tha resolution on the table.

Mr. Brown, who was appointed by tbo Presi dent on tbe oommittee to investigate the con duct of the auditing commission of tbe Western and Atlantia Railroad, asked to be discharged from that committee. The President stated that he appointed the committee with a view to the fitness of the sev eral member* and baring exercised tbe respon' sible dnty of appointment he was nuwilling to discharged any member.

Journal ot yesterday was read and approved, Mr Phillips, chairman of the Committee on Privileges and Election* moved to take np the report of the committee on the case of Mr. Tar ver, member from Baker county, who was charged with being a non-resident of that oonnty. Tbe evidence showed that Mr. Tarver pays tax, is sued and sue* and serves on juries in that oounty. Tho report of the committee, which declares that Mr. Tarver is entitled to his seat, was adopted. A resolution by Mr. Hudson to authorize tbe Hon. Mr. Glover to draw tbe per diem and mileage of Hon. Wright Brady, deceased, for tho benefit of the latter's family was adopted. Tbe tax bill was taken up and several Senate amendments were conoorrod in.

The report of the oommittee was that he is inelligible under tbe 14th amendment.

A Compost made in this manner contains all tbo elements of vaine that can enter into any fertilizer. It is the only manner in which cotton seed can bo properly used. With it the planter can supply him self with a fertilizer of tho highest grade at the smallest coat, which will enable him to use it liber ally and thus realize tbe highest results from the labor and time employed in making his crop.
