It is notorious that iu the South those who join that party, wifli perhaps a rare exception now and then, do it for the sole purpose of the pecuniary benefit that, they see before them.

As an illustration of the inex cusable 1 expenditures in salaries, Mr. Dawes gave numerous instances of ports of entree where the receipts were not equal to the amounts paid the of ficials—the principal business done by some of these dignitaries being to draw their salaries. If our premises are correct, with what ment can they preach eci mumy to such a party? Hold out the prospect of gain to win them over and then tall; about economy ! NYhatwouldbecome of the new recruits who were tempted by the glittering prize? It is said there is honor among thieves, and certainly the Radicals will not “go hack on those who have cast in their lots among them for the sake of the spoils. "Well, the poor fellows ought t > have something for the si'evitii e the; have made in joining such a party. They cannot consol- themseh.es with the delusive idea that they are patriot . working for their country's good, for alas! the history of the Southern States has shown that each State lues deteriorated in property just in pro portion to the time the ltadieal party has had control of it. They cannot hope for honor and fame, for who ever heard of a people that honored t!v - v who brought about their destruction or became the. instruments of th i op pression ? It is the “cohesive power of public plunder” that forms th common bond of union between our opponents, and if that tie is broken, how can these discordant elements he kept together ? No wonder thatmet.,. of Mr. Dawes’ brother Radicals wi re somewhat restive under his damaging array of facts and arguments. 15ut there is no chance for reformation in this part v. The only hope is that til people may one. day become tired of the extravagance and frauds preo ticedby this party, and depriv - th.-m of the power they so long held and used—-not to advance the prosperity of their ountn, hut for their own personal wealth and aggrandisement. Grant's Oho an. the Washington i hroniclc, does not like the Granger l "wuff a cent.” This should, as we have no doubt it will ho, encouraging to this organization. Referring to the resolutions of the National (1 range, the Chronicle dispenses this sarcasm : “It is a refreshing and inspiring' sight to see with what earnestness the late session of the National Grange j solemnly resolved against fashion, and then 'tjth equal fervor passing a res olution in favor of suppressing selfish ambition. Nothing could be rnoi-e op portune or signilicant than this heroic conduct, and we confidently look for ward to the filial extinction of both these evils with which humanity is af flicted.

Among .-ther thing-- we notice the ar ticle on Guinea grass, which Me bub link below for the. benefit of our read ers. Our great need of this section is a grass tha-t can stand our hot sea sons. Further north the Blue grass Clover and several other varieties of grass flourish well, and are an abso lute necessity for these regions, but “away down south ” we have never found umThmg to exactly supply their place, although we are satisfied that much could be made out of our com mon crab-grass, did we give proper attention to it. If, however, this Guinea grass should prove the de sideratum so long sought for, it will be n valuable acquisition to our section. Of course it will take time and further experiments to determine u bother it is truly valuable or a humbug. Wo are I not of an over sanguine temperament, ; and are not disposed therefore to fall in love with everything new that is ; proposed. Still, we should not close oiircy-5..;: weary thing like improve ment. The Bible injueffiTu v is-*-f*Wul. one: “Provo all things; hold fast to that which is good.” Guinea grass.— Mr. C. Codrington, of Florida, formerly of Jamaica, com municates to the Department a paper touching the cultivation and natural growth of Guinea grass in the AYcst : Indies, and its introduction into Flor ida. Speaking of the island of Jam aeia, he says lie has never known the working mules there to get grain of i any kind, and if offered to them they : would not eat it, yet they are as hard worked as any stock in the world ; Guinea grass being the only feed sup j plied. Of course, therfoiv, in those islands this grass is not considered a noxious weed, a ; is too often regarded .by Southern planters. The people are onlv too glad to have ;t. and, where it thrives, abandon every other culti vation to make way for it. Once es tablished. very little cultivation is r< - qilired. * Hired laborers go through the fields cutting out the young freon with mue/te/rs, (a kind of cutlass, at a cost of about 25 cents per acre. Mr. : Codrington says: “ On coming to Florida I percieved at once that the great want of the State was a good grass to suit the climate. I wrote to Janmeia for some seeds of the hardiest variety,' there the “St. Mary's grass. '' This I planted in the spring of 1872, and got about twelve plants to grow. As fast as the roots got sufficiently large 1 took them up. separated them and replanted, some roots giving me twenty-live, to thirt-v t plants; but ! found that tie- planting should be done immediately altera heavy t ain, when the eftrtli is quite v.a t. 1 continued this operation until Sep t'i.U'i r, when ! ah will the plan's to go to seed. IV rt of tile seed I gath ered, and hit some to drop. Th. plants stood sevtral severe fro.sis be fore the grass was killed. I then cut it off and steel; even then eat it with avidity. This spring the old roots sprouted again, and all around them i mint (.-ruble young plants came up from the seed that had been sown tic l lusU autumn. 1 continued the same sy s tem this summer that I did with my plants in 2572, with perfect- slices s Others, who procured plants from me an.l have foilowi and the directions, have also succeeded, and now it only re quires enterprise to make this State ] the grazing btate of the Union; for j the success of the grass I i-{insider es- j tublished beyond a dotlbt. The land j L used was the poorest, worn-out pine hind: too poor even to grow sweet potatoes. I had the. grass 8 feet high in some places, and I cut some of it three times during t-lic summer. He adds, in a postscript : In planting 4mm roots, the tops should be qjit off before planting; and do nnl plant the roots straight, but ilia slanting position, almost lying down. Do not plant deop: about four inches of the stem should bo out of the ground. A letter on the same subject lias boon received from Mr. Adams, of Jacksonville. Fin., to whom a small quantity of seed, received from Jama - ica, had been sent by the Department for experiment. He sowed the seed in rather poor, light land, slightly manured. It grew rapidly and stead ily, even luxuriantly, “and has at tin height of two feet (December 11) been cut three or four times during the sea son, and is now flourishing finely'.” Mr. A. continues : It does not spread from the root during the first season as much as I had expected, showing that probably the best, way to start, a field is by broad cast or drill sowing. But as to its adaptability to the climate and soil of tiic South, and <>l Florida especially, i where the givati - t. agricultural need is confessedly a grass that will bear sun and drought,) I have not a shad ow of doubt. In ' two-thirds of t-lie northern and southern extent of the State cattle are raised without any feed or care except grazing at large; yet there is an annual increase of more than 30 per cent. So that with n * to supplement the natural or wild grasses, Florida is; bound to be an important cattle and stock raising State.. ■ Ex-Gov. S(\vniour writes in ft pri vate letter which lias found its way to the press: “\Vken you go to Albany, i | t the. museum of natural history, geology,Ac., in the Stale Agricultural Hall: ask the keeper to-show you a! piece of coral stone which to my knowl edge has been dripping oil for twen ty y ears in Unit Ini': i : . ll Ttm.v | throw some light on the 'oil question.’ ” - The TYniporaiK'tt Crusade- Drunkcum ss is antmmixedevil, and yet it is rapidly on the increase. In our own country particularly, wlu r we live in all respects at stteh o 1 r*’ neck rate, the ma of stimulant;, h - come tube looked on as pcrleetly, ex cusable if not justifiable. Indeed they are pk-ad.-l for as nee.-.yiry. There is no one kind of business that violds so large a profit to him wlm t. >l - lows it, the liquor business. There is nothing that brings a huger return to the government in taxes. Though entirely prohibited bylaw in some lo calities. it requires cciiseh ss vigilance to enforce the law. And it is with the utmost vehemence, atl-l even virulence that the enactment of laws prohibit ing, or oven restraining the sale of in toxicating liquors is opposed. This does not spring from any ignorance of or disposition to deny the evils of the traffic. Its very warmest advo- cates do not pretend that it is wholly a benefit to the race. Though ready to claim all that can bo claimed for it, from the instances in which its medicinal properties have been used for man’s good, none are so ex travagant as to claim that the good arising from the use of alcoholic drinks exceeds the evil. The train of evils PtUawiuq in the stem of drunk-' chucks embraces the wind# catalogue.. There is not a baso propensity but wlnit is stimulated by it. Though at the beginning of his career of drunk enness a man may be noble, and right minded, and highly honorable, it will be a marvel if he continues so to the end of it. Ordinarily, manhood suc cumbs first of all to this vice, and then lying, fraud and beastliness fol low. While these things are gener ally admitted, however, it is not gen erally thought that Icy Motion upon: this subject is justifiable or prudent.

And many men have been not only re strained from going into this vie.-,but have actually been reclaimed from it. ; This plan embraces the idea of re forming the individual and thereby purifying the masses. Some of these organizations have called for a pledge of total abstinence during connection with it ; others during life.

AWcr-to it will finffi'y l grow, none are able yet to predict. The character of the leaders, who are ladies of culture, and social position ; : the. fact that it is woman, whose per sistence in prosecuting every under taking has . become proverbial ; the I rapid spread of the organization, and ! the great success with which their ef- 1 forts have been already crowned, give j ground of hope. Their plan is to go in companies to I the dealers in liquor, and by entreat- j ies indues them to abandon the busi-1 ness. Eloquent portrayal of the evils j resulting from the business, prayers, j and tears combined, poured out, too, j by the most delicate and amiable of i our race, can hardly fail to move the j most of men. But where obduracy is found these ladies quietly move out side the liquor shop, and hold a relig ious meeting of some kind. And thus they carry on their work. What will become of it no one can yet toll. That, this or some other plan may prove to be efficient in checking the growth yea, in plucking up and utterly de stroying this great physical, civil and moral evil intemperance- must, lie devoutly wished by every good citizen and Christian. —The Gainesville liayte, alluding to the direct trade movement inaugu rated by the (rrangemcn, says: The fi matioh of this comp tny w hailed wit 1 delight by all who and sire to see the material advancement of the Mouth.

We may plant every inch of our country in cotton, from the Potomac to the Rhyl ramie that will produce if, and th. n-maiii der in cereals ; we may build facto tie . at every mill-shoal in the country, and still we will be “hewers of wood and drawers of water” for the Yankee end of oyr country, until we have direct trade, and save among us the profits that have always gone to build up Eastern trade marls. We see. in this move of the Grangers, a praeticsL solution of a question that has lonjil been a mooted one among our people.
