• An Irishman, who waa found guilty
s&sfis
weeks since, rented a field with the usual
understanding that he was to pay the rpnt
with a portion of the crop- Bring then
asked what he intended to cultivate, he re
plied “all corn,” as he did not believe cot
ton Would bring a paying price. This was
no doubt his intention, at the titne. But as
planting time comes on the temptation to
put in a good cotton crop always becomes
hard to resist. It did so in this instance.
Passing by the place the otbei day, a
neighbor noticed that corn been plant
ed in the poorest parts of the field, but ‘lie
best and freshest portions had not been
plowed. Asking the reason, he wns told
that the unplowed portions had been re
served for cotton I
We passed by a small farm, a day or
two since, that had been rented to a couple
of industrious freed men. They were hat'd
at work planting corn, but we observed
that they were not applying fertilizers of
any kind. Asking why they did not use
the manure which we knew to be on tin
place, we Were told that they were reserv
ing that for the cotton crop 1
And thus it is, we have good reason to
fear, that "more corn and less cotton” will
be planted generally. The best portions
of the land will be or have been reserved
for cotton. The fact that the amount of
commercial fertilizers Used is vastly short
of last year’s consumption does not, by any
means, prove that the cotton crop will be
greatly shoitened on this account } because
the home-made fertilizers will this year be
mostly applied to cotton, and the corn will
have to go without manure. The failure
to buy the commercial fertilizers can in
this way operate more to the curtailment
of the corn than the cotton crop. We ven
ture the assertion that iu a majority of
cases the planting has been so managed as
to make the lack of fertilizers affect the
corn rather than the cotton either by •'he
selection of the best lands this year for
cotton the poorer for corn, or by the
application to cotton of the kinds of ma
nures that were last year applied to corn.
Let etrefy planter (it is not yet too late)
act for himself as if he were acting for the
entire planting community. The same im
pulses and temptations that actuate him
also actuate the great body of the planters.
Thus acting, in view of the Liverpool esti
mate that there will probably be a million
bales of stock in that port at the close of
ing whether it isT the "better
United States to produce four millions or
two millions of bales of cotton this year.
Mrs. Harriet Beecher Stowe has been so
ill of la<e that she has decided on a perma

her fine house in Hartford. Conn., and

months she will live in some Northern
seaboard town.

Colored Sentiment Against San IXmingo
Annexation.—New York, March 30 —At a
inass meeting of colored citizens in Cooper
Institute 1o commemorate the ratification
of the Fifteenth Amendment, the Rev.
Wylaud Garnett presided, and after pray
er was offeied by Bishop Janes, of the
Motkodist Episcopal Church, made a speech
in opposition to Santo
Domingo, saying that he thought that
wheiT Fred. Douglass accompanied the
Cointuisßioneis to that country a fair re
port would be made, but now believed that
he, like the Commissioners, had agreed to
report in favor before starting. An allu
siou to Senator Sumner as the man true to
justice and humanity was received with
loud and continued cheering. Resolutions
wore adopted urging the freeing of the
State constitution from anti-republican
clauses, recommending that the exercise
of the ballot by colored men be made safe,
advocating the ownership of soil by color**
ed men North and South, and expressing
confidence that the equal right of all to
vote by constitutional authority will bt
maiutaiued in its integrity.
When Gen. V n Moltke stood before the
portraits of Bizitte and MacMihon in the
palace, at Verailles, he is reported to have
said to Bismark : 'I think we have done

Prussians will never put our pictures or

A kerosene lamp exploded at Atlanta;
owing to the presence of tnittd of a uegfo
man, no damage was done.
Atlanta ain’t satisfied yet. She is to
have anew jail soon, and now wants a city

man wants to abaie a nuisance and at the
same time confer a great favor upon visi
tors and travelers, let him advocate saint
measure, by which the city can get shed of
about half of those little imps that are Con
tinually pulling at gentlemen’s coat-tails
and whining out ‘‘Mr. please sir give
a penny.’’ We really believe that Atlanta
lihb more beggars than any city in the
South, except New Orleans.

of ‘he recent assassination of the Hon.
Geo. W. Fish, Judge of the I3 ( h District
Court, that one John R. Holsenback and
one Jatiies Lloyd, two white citizens of
that place, committed the murder.
The causes which induced the deed up
on the part of those rneiu are sa : d to have
been the jealousy of the first and the per
sonal grudge of the other.
The accused having been committed to
await final trial at the next Superior Cotirl

That Mr. Grouby has made the mistake of
defending it (which he does in a letter to
the Jilacon Telegraph) instead of pleading

he will reconsider his relation to the matter
in question. Tlie News says*
We have hot thought proper lior felt au
thorized to speak through the column's of
this pap' r in regard to the cau-e of the
present absence of its editor and proprie
tor. But as some of our exchanges have
him in jail in a place where he has not been
probably for many year*,-and others make
the Impression by the way tfi which they
notice his absence, that lie had dangerous
ly wounded the negro Gatnhell, we think it
best to say, that Mr. Grouby had been in
toxicated for several days, and during the
time conducted himself as most drunken
men do. On the evening before he left he
to>>k offence at some fancied insult from the
negro preacher Gambell, and lose n't ed it
by shooting him with a pistol, inflicting
single ‘pfeach.’ Mr. Grouby'* object in
leaving was,- mvdoubt to avoid arrest. H -

sent at once to bring her to him.
When the bereaved woman arrived, she
hung over the dying boy in the agony of
grief. ‘Mother,’ whispered he, with a pain
ful effort, *1 sold f« Ur newspapers and the

A Female Printer.— ln our daily vbf*s to the
Printing Office ot Mr. Toon, at which office the

us. au unusual sight It'is that of a yoi?ng lady,
standing at a printer’s desk, and dilligentv en
gaged in setting type. Modest, retiring H nd in
dustrious, she commands the respect ot all in the
establishment, from the proprietor downward*.
Thi* is a Georgia girl, who learned he trade in
Rome, and who has been attracted bv higher wages

quite equals that of a man. and that her wages are
the same as that which is paid to a man In this

This is an example fit to be imitated. It is a
con rotation ot views expressed by us some time
since in the Plantation, entitled. “What shall
our young women do ? Why shall this example
not be followed in other ehies in the South?
There are many bright girls, whose parents are
struggling with homeless poverty, who might in

for ourselves. If is a noble Charity which suggests
