Tbo Rockhfll (S O ) bantern, apeakingof late
Kaklax pardons, says, "whenever the President
shall learn the truth touching these matters,
be, too, will have cause tb rejoice at his
ftponse to oor petition for executive clemency,
and to came tbe day he listened, to those who
have used him for their own ends; who have
used the pnblio prisons to gratify their private
malice; who have suborned witnesses to prove
guilt against tbe innocent; and above all, be
will have reason to regret that he has so long
turned a credulous, confiding ear to the official
r*ports of Major Merrill. If the walls of the
McCaw Moose coaid diaolose tbe secrets of

four thousand dollars for oatching Kaktnx, he

Tli© Great Colorado Desert Jielow
Tidewater.
The theory that the great Colorado desert is
below tidewater, and might be flooded by dig~
Ring a canal from tbe Golf of California, re*
oeivefl important corroboration from the state*
ment of Mr. Denton, of San Diego, who has
been traveling through the desert with an ex*
ploring party. On their arrival at New River
Station, on the New Itiver, which runs'from
Colorado, they fonod tbe water subsiding stead
ily, indicating that the stream wonld soon be
dried np. Advancing into the desert they came
to an oveifliwed section on which tbe water
was two feet deep, and when tbey reached tbe
New River again, abont sevonty miles from
where they first struck, they found the water
from four to aix feet higher than at New River
Button, and running like a mill race. This
proves that tbe deprcsHion in the desert, a? ore
advances from the Colon do, is quite marked.
A fact rot generally known is that at extreme
high U**e« tbe tide of the Califorria Gulf rifles
from twenty-five to thirty-five feet, and this
formidable body cf water ruflbes up tbe Colo-
rado, backing np tbe fresh water.
now They Kill Tliem Over In Ala-
twta$
Mr. D. F. Front, a largo planter living in the
Ganebrake" section of Alabama, writes a let
ter to the, Selma-Times describing his method
of killing the caterpillar, and which has proved
entirely suoccs*fal. He says;
I had ordered two hundred pounds of Paris
green from New York about t middle of Jnly,
bnt it was delaved on the way acd did not reaoh
here until tbe first of August. In tbe meantime
the worm had appeared in large numbers on the
most luxuriant of my bottom land cotton and
threatened sorions injury. Immediately on its
leoeipt I commenced vigorous operations in
tbe following meaner: The different eqnsds
hsving been provided with all tbo appliances for
bsnling water rapidly and storing it conveniently
ia the field, six active, oartfal hands were pnt
in charge of that number of two gallon watering
pots, and were waited on by other hand*, each
snpplied with a common blue bucket. An iron
teaspoon was filled heaping with tbe Paris
green, and was thoroughly mixed with about
two gallons of* water in the buckets, poured
into the watering pots, and immediately applied
to the plants. To thoroughly sprinkle the cot-
ton nboot forty gallons of water to the acre
were used, and this quantity required abont a
ponnd of Paris green.
Water being abnndtAnly supplied, acd the
hands active and willing, the work went on
ith dispatch, and in a day and a half sixty
acres were watered. Tula being all that waa
seriously infected. I stopped operations for the
time. In twenty-fonr hoars after tho applica
tion of the Paris green the worms were nearly
all ddad or dying, and tbe cotton is now pat
ting on a new growth. To destroy the worm
effectually the plant must be thoroughly water
ed, and f nongb of tbe Paris green n«ed to be
perceptible on tbe leaves. After it is well dried
a light rain does not remove it, but it will re
quire time to test its power applied in this way
to effeot tbe seoond crop hf worms.

probabilities I suppose, has it that, among
other tbeatrioal novelties, she and her husband
are preparing to prodnoe, a little in adranoe of
the Daughter of Mrs. Argot, a new edition of
that old dramatic afterpiece, Titus Oates. This,
however, can be of little interest to your play

The IT or ui Destroyer la Alabama*
Here are two paragraphs taken from the
Montgomery Advertiser of Wednesdays
We were yesterday ahown two stalks of cot
ton, gro* 11 Aitkin a few feet of eceh other, np
on the plantation of Mtjor Copeland near the
city. To one of them eight days ago the Boy-
all cotton worm destroyer had been applied;
tbe other had been left to its fate acd a sad
fate it was. It bsd been entirely stripped by
the worms of every particle of its foliage and
worms long and lazy were crawling about upon
it in every direction, now and then 1 fling their
held* in the air as though in painful search of
new material for their voracious jaws. The
other stalk which eight days since had been
blessed with an application of Roysll’s remedy,
was gieen and luxuriant, showing oi.Iy here and
there wbere tbe enemy had been andwbere in
the midst of his work he hid been arrested by
the hand of Death.

proprietors of the Advertiser at d Republican,
to Mr. Bp'#£ford, Conpressionsl Librarian, at
Washington, and were shipped to that oityyes-

We are not informed as to the price obtained.
It Wobked Well —The Athens Watchman
says tbe separation of tbe males and females in
the College Chapel on commencement day at
the University worked capitally, and hopes it
will be regnlaily enforced hereafter. Has the
editor forgotten the day when he had a sweet
heart ? JIotD wonld he have liked snob treat

proposition every time.
Contention cr Bakkebs and Bqoxzbs.—The

Governor Smith "has addressed a letter to the

purpose of considering a proposition in regard
to the new 8 per rent. loan. The convention,

A letter to Mr. W. T. Hatchett, of this city,
from Peyton B:bb, E*q, a gentleman well
known to thia entire community, says cf cotton
worms:
“I have not been entirely successful with the
destroyer. Though I have killed a great many
worms, fresh worms are continually coming out
after the poison, and the«e refuse only the
badly poisoned or scorched leaves. In my
opinion there will be enough worms left to
destroy it afrer poisoning, though they will be
longer in doing it. If you think it will pay,
send me sixty or seventy pounds at once, for
tbe worms are eating the cotton at a fearful
rate everywhere.

A Pennsylvania lady baa » most romantic
and ingenious way of managing the gentleman
so happy as to be her husband. Exasperated
by her persistent conversation, h* nngallantiy
boxed her ears the other day. Tbe wretched

upon her lord and ft *d, simply o bee nr ing as abe
departed that the briny deep should wash away
the insult. Leaving behind her everything
most dear and precious to ter—tbe heme of her
marrit-d life fall of beautiful and cherished
memories—this heart-broken woman rushed
frantioally to tho canal, and, with one parting
sigh, threw in a large stone, which made a
mighty eplash. Then she went and hid herself
in tbe bushes and giggled, while her husband
and twenty other men hurried up, with horror
depicted upon tbeir coantenanoea. and wildly
dragged the canal for her body. 'When the in

vance? If tbe.people choose to-morrow to es
tablish - Mcrmooism or hamau sacrifices we
don’t see who could say them nay.. Yet our
wlvee and children need not distress themselves
quite yet. Before we believe that 40.000,000
of people are goirg be false to their tradi
tions and to deny their principles arms evi
dence must be bronght. Taere must be some
fao?s going to thow a char gs of mind, some ob
vious eigns of distrust in free institutions,
aome well-marked indications of a leaning to
the monarchy or imperialit-m. Now the fact is,
there is nothing of tbe kind. Probably there
never was a time when the general faith in onr
institutions wa? a* fi*xo as it is now. It wonld
certainly require something more than the re-
election of a good msgi&trate to effioe to prove
its decay. But this ghost cf Crciarism has
hsnnted ns throughout onr brief history. Mr.
Jeff Arson detected it in Mr. Adams* well-brushed
peruke and handsome liveries. Freneau’s Ga
zstte discovered it distinctly In Hamilton’s s rt
norous periods and foreign reminiscencv s.
Iniked behind Jackson’s imperious commands.
Poor Jenkins has had several glimpses of it on
the beach at Long Branch. Washington, with
his sterling common sense, nsed to say that
there were not ten men worth listening to
in all the country who were in favor of monar
chy. If Ce'dartem was of such minute dimen
sions then, when the Republic was an expert
men*, what must its proportions be now, when
the United 8tates *« one of tho great powrr-i of
the world, and all Europe is trying to bal'd on
its model?
A really serlons objection to Ilia third fe’m
plan is the bias It woald give to the PresMem’.*
policy before and daring tbo canvas?. It om
not he expected of anv President that ha t-boald
be indifferent to the result of a cont* at in whi- *
he is the standard bearar of his party. ]
practice the polioy of a President, while* ran
niDg for re-election, has been too often shaped
in order to win votes rather than serve tho beat
interests cf the country. His foreign polioy
is apt to be mere sggresdve than it won’d be
after election. Mea«nres of domestic policy are
likely to be considered more with a view to
their immediate effect npon tbe minds of tbe
people than in tho light of the narmanent ad
vantage of the common wealth Unpleasant da-
ties are apt to be shirk'd. Offeures committed
by popular men controlling votes are fri q lently
overlooked. Acquiescence In the follies of the
hour is often feigned Few Presidents, pend
ing a canvass, wonld surrender a Mason and Sli
dell. or suppress a Feniau outbreak. Soma
would even go so for as to jastlfy an Oitend
manifesto or the bombardment of Greytown.
Hardly any could refnse to reward drsertion
from the en»mv or cx’raord in ary efforts in the
ranks with office. These obj«otions. it will be
noticed, apply with equal force to % second
term as to a third, and in practice a President
must have extraordinary claims to have a chance
of either.
On tbe other hand, it is hardly possible to
exaggerate tbe importance to tbo onntry of re
taining tbe services of s faithful and expert
enoed magistrate. Tho United Spates hive not
always been fortunate in their chief rulers.
Tbey have discovered that Presidential elec
tions, liko marriages, are a lottery. They have
sometimes drawn rather queer lots therein. In
times past, when the oountry was small and iso
lated from the rest of the world, these accidents
mattered littln. M*-n blnahed for the Pns'dent,
and contained their sonls in p&rience till bis
four years expired. Bat the progress of events.
And onr present rank as a first class ouwer, have
changed all this. We cannot afford now to
have a b!nnd*»rer or a blasterer in the Ohief
Magistracy of tbe B*ouhlio. It is vital. e®sen
tially vital, that the Presidency should bo hold
byapafeman. Kmall errors and weakneve
we c«u wall overlook and forgive. Bat we can
not afford to make any mure experiments—to
elect men to tbe Presidency who may torn out
well, but who. for «he sake of personal renown,
may involve us In foreign war-*, or rekindle the
dying embers of domestic strife. Wa can bear
with mnch for the sake of assured peace and
safe government.
Down on Agricultural College*,
The Boston Journal of Chemistry strikes a
new rote in tbe following:
It i« well known that connected with Har
vard University is a department of agricnllnre,
magnificently endowed; known as the Baasey
school. This school has been dnly organized,
having its corps of accomplished instructors,
with lecture-rooms and laboratories, and all so
cessories for imparting instruction, but it is
without 'Indents. Daring tbe past year but
ae yonrgroan and one young woman have
thronged the baba” of tho Bn*«»ey Institution,
and there seems to be no decided indication of
the increa»e of Btpd#» c ts at present Tbe cor
poration of the Uoiversify aro puzz’ed to
know what to do with this foundation. It has
means enough, and room enongh and facilities
enongh. bat wbere are the students? To teach
agriculture or hnrticnRnre after anv of the
rules of ihv school is a d ffi-ult undertaking, and
mu*t resnlt in a foilnre. Why shall we deceive?
why thall we novei* np? Why shall we not tell
the truth? Onr agricultural colleges are fail-
nres—all of them. The difficulty lies not so
much in the honesty and capability of those who
are endeavoring to condnot them ; the plan, the
idea, the claims, are fonnded in eiror, and tbe
srener this is acknowledged, and a revolution
fleeted, the better it will he for the interests
of practicil agriculture. We clearly understand
that io thus taking decided ground against the
schools of agricnlfnre. Ro-oalled. which hAve
been established under Congressional ana State
aid, we d'saffect a considerable number of high
ly esteemed friends; but while we are Roiryior
this, we cannot smother our conviotlons, or
hesitate to declare the tralh. The colleges are
not failnreR from want of s'ndentR in all cases,
but from the faot that they do eo*. aid or pro
mote the great interest of practical husbandry
in any sensible degree. As educational institu
tions they mav be well enongh, but as "agricul-
tnral colleges" they aro failures.
Massachusetts rgrfcultnre is itself, we snp
pose, a rapidly declining interest. Tho pro
portion of area scsieptible of profitable tillage
very small and bears a high value, while the
high prioe* of all manufactured goods and of
labor, and the very low price3 of produce dis-
oonrage the growth of that industry. It is no
wonder, therefore, that a Mas? achusetts Agri
cultural school should lack pupil*. Bit it is
absurd to deny that a good reboot of natural
and applied science may be of great advantage
to the young practical agriraltnriat, or that In
fact it may not make him acquainted with all
the advances in practical agriculture by bock*
and study.

It seems that certain men who have been
leaders in days past, are now reeking an issue
with us, whether for the good of the dear peo
ple or for self aggrandizement, this deponent
saith not. Unfortunately, I think' for them,
ihe alarm has a j ngle of rule or ruin about it,
and consequently will be duly considered and a
irae verdict given. There are others also who
have long subsided upon prefits derived from
the toil and sweat of the poor ignorant former*.
And now forcoatfa, because these humble dod
hoppers dare to unite tn secure tbeir rights and
protect their interest, the cries of "Hambug"
and "Duplicity” are raised against them. The
order has Buffi riant merit in itself to oombine
all tbe agriculturists of tbe ooantry into one
oernmon brotherhood, which will be done at no
distant day, for their own protection and pre
servation, and all growlers and dissenters will
be remembered accordingly. The cry of affiiia
tion with the political parties cf the present day
nothing more thin a sound wiihont an echo.

The Bev* Newman Hall Noes for a
Divorce*
The Bev. Newman Hall has been compelled
appear in the London Divorce Court. This
estimable gentleman has been sorely tried in
his domestic life. His marriage was rather a
romantic one. and arose out of an attachment
hich his wife formed for him while he was
acting *a her tutor. 8he was tbe daughter of a
Sootch gentleman, well known in the religious
world, and whose life Mr. Hall afterward wrote.
Thoee who knew hatband and wife were aston-
iahed at tbe admirable manner in which he
conducted himeelf toward a lady whose capri
cious and unoertam temper seemed almost to
■nggeet mental rather th»n moral defect. Some
yean ago it waa said Mr. ffoil bore this last in
jury patiently; bat it would seem that some
freab wrong had been committed, and he has
bow filed a petition in the Divorce Court, al
leging adultery on the part of hia wife with a
man named Richardson.

Athens, Ga, Angus** 14—The convention
adjourned siue die to-day at two p m , to meet
in Oolumbu* in February next.
Golonel Thomas Hirdeman made a speech to
day, which was enthudasticilly received by the
farmers, grangers and all present. He said
that he had never heard 8) many gliomy
speeches as those delivered daring the conven
tion oonoerning the present industrial statu* of
Georgia. He complained that Governor Smith
had in his speech yesterday compared the sta
tistics of Georgia in 1 SGO and 1870, to show that
we had grown poorer since the war. This was
fallacy, he 8Aid, to be detected by an infant.
He wanted the statistics of 18GG and 1873 com
pared, and they would show bur rapid improve
ment. m
The speech was received with leni cheer?,
and tho hearts of the crowd ware entirely with
Colonel Hardeman. Again he disagreed with
the Governor as to making tbe violation of a
contract by afraedman a penal offdnso by the
law of Georgia. Saoh a law would be a most
disastrous blow to agricultural interests, and
cause a huge exodous of negroes.
Last night the supper given to the delegates
passed off most happily. There was plenty to
eat and plenty to drink. Tho college bnildiDg
was brilliantly illuminated, and the whole town
turned out. Loud calls were made for Tom
Hardeman, but be couldn’t be gotten out. Col.
EL D. Capers made a short and pleasant ad
dress.
Just before adj inrament, it was moved and
carried tumultuously, that an orator be elected

the present status of the State of Georgia, in
order to remove the unfortunate impression
that might get abroad from the sad and despon
dent and incorrect views announced in some of
the speeches delivered here. Tont.
