The Republican, in a recent is sue, discussing the political situa tion in this congressional district says “should Gen. Cook he nomi nated, there mil bean Independent candidate in the Held with a fair prospect of success.” Docs not the Republican know that there will be an Independent candidate in the Held, no mattei whom the Demo crats may nominate ? The writer of that editorial is too well posted a politician not to know that the I n- dependent candidate .is in reality nlready in the Held, awaiting only a favorable npportunity of public ly announcing himself ns such. It is not fair to Gen. Cook to insinu ate that only in case he is nomina ted there will be an Independent candidate in the Held, when the fact is that there will bit one in the event of the nomination of any mnn by the Democrats. 110(1 ~aT|MIOMI X Y. Commissioner Henderson, of the Agricultural liurenu, having mude the assertion that there was not a single funner in the .State who has made money unless lie raises his own provisions, the Atlanta Con stitution determined to lest tho matter, and addressed a circular to a responsible man in every county in the state, inserting the following questions and (instructions: 1. Please give us the names of the four or live most successful farmers in your county. 2. Please say whether or not tho farmers you select us the most prosperous plant all cotton or ruiso their provisions and make cotton a surplus. Wo want to ascertain whether or not thoro are any farmers who make money by planting cotton and buying the provisions to make it with. A number of responses have been received, and every one has borno the saute testimony, that the pros perous farmers are those who rnisc their own provisions, and thnt those who coniine themselves to cotton are not prosperous. Among the letters received are the follow ing from this section: Km.avim.k, February 27.—Edi tors Constitution, Atlanta, Ua Your letter requesting me to give you thu names of the four or live most succcsstul farmers in my county came duly to hand, and 1 will cheerlully grant your request: Mr. Dupre Peacock is u large plan ter and succeeds well with wages at eight dollars per month and ra tions. Ho raises a greater portion of his meat and never buys corn, lie invariably sows a large area of in small grain, which I think is the true priuciplo of his success. Mr. Thomas ,1. Murray is quite success, fnl with croppers or working on shares. Mr. Thomas J. Dozier the same. Mr. S. A. Sellers is a quite successful planter. He never buys any fertilizers. He raises every thing at home. Mr. C. I,. Battle; also Mr. Eli Stewart and quite a number more I could name. Ev ery one of them make their farms self-sustaining. It is such planters ns these and these only thnt make farming profitable. E. S. Baldwin. St PREME t'Ol'RT DECISIONS. Among the recent decisions ren dered by the Supremo Court we | find the following of local inter est: Clark vs. State. Bobbery, from Sumter. Taken up on Jwrit of er ror. Writ of error dismissed and verdict of Superior Court stands. Tison vs. State. Murder, from Schley. Taken up on writ of er ror, that the charge of the Court was unsupported by the evidence. The judgment of the Superior Court was affirmed. Our good natured contcmpory of the Amcrieus Recorder gives us up in despair, and «ays ‘there is no use in trying to answer our questions,” but looks back and wants to know if there is any dif ference in being robbed by nu American instead of an English- ! ROPES fOR GCITEAC. A Remarkable Collection In Ike .rail at Wn.hfngton. “Another rope for Gniteau,’’said an expressman, depositing a pack age in the warden’s office of the jail this morning. “That makes forty-four,” Depu ty Warden Busk responded, as he signed and handed back the ex pressman’s receipt book. “Our collection is nearly complete.” “Your collection?” queried -a . . press representative, who was pres-' story the other day that admirably ent; “what do yon mean by that?” 1 illustrates their intense belief in “Step this way and I will show ' the future. It was told me by a 1 poet: “A few years ago I was visiting ing to Mrs. Garfield in his behalf He has said very little about It, ex cept that he wished she would at tend to her own business and let his affairs alone. He still cherish es the idea that he will be granted a new trial by the General Term. A qi'EER STORV. Tile Jewa Said lo Have Clioeen a ^ Kina tor Themselves. Huston Traveler. Apropos of the Jews, I heard a you." Following Mr. Busk, the report er was shown into a small room, where, hung in a long row, were various samples of hangmen’s ropes, measuring from three to ten feet, of every make and variously tied, each one properly labeled. “Why, wlint are these?”the visi- man. We would reply by asking tor asked, looking hastily over the brother Glessncr, if some one war to Bteal his carpet sack, would he be rnoro likely to recover it if the rogue should get to London than if he remained in Americas? Let our brother who has just come .South from Illinois answer frankly. — Warrenton Clipper. If our carpet snek was stolen by a man-who was authorized by the law to steal it, our chances for recover ing it would be the same in Atncri- chs or London. We fail to see why our coming from Illinois should make any difference to the innn who stole our carpet sack or in our failure to recover it. If Bro- Shivers would be a real protection ist, he must east aside his section alism, for your true protectionist knows no Barth, no South, no East, no West, but sanctions the robbery of nil alike. General Garlrcl! may ns well make up his mind to come down or pre- collection and shuddering at their suggestiveness. “Contributions from various American citizens,” the jailer an swered, “who desire to give Gui- teau a lift in the world,” laughing at the ghastly joke. “We have now here ropes from nearly every State in the Union, and lack blit four States to make the collection complete—Nevada, South Caroli na, New Hampshire and Vermont. 1 might say that North Carolina was lacking also, us it has not sent us rope, but some fellow down there sent this grapevine, which. I suppose, would come in handy on a pinch.” “Which is the rope you have to represent Maryland.” “This one,” answered Bush, showing a well-greased rope of In dia hump, constructed with a noose, done in the highest nautical style, evidently the work of a sailor. “We hud another piece, also,” Busk continued, “but it has be- come misplaced. This one from California, you will observe, is of twisted silk. It was unaccompa pare to make the race against four nic(1 by the contri b„tor’s name; or live of his brother independents.

Crisp is being spok en of for Congress in this District nnd if elected would make a good Beprcscntativc. But we know of no complaint against Gen. Phil Cook, who bas so long, nnd so faith fully represented the Third Dis trict. We think we express the sentiment of our people when we say that .lodge Crisp should lie continued .on the Bench, Tor the sake, of his own growing reputa tion ns a jurist, nnd for the good of the State; nud that we should also retain Gen. Cook ns our Con gressman. To retire him and givo his position to Judge Crisp would not, in our judgment, redound to the public interest. We say this in face of the fact that we enter tain for Judge Crisp the most sin cere admiration, both for his legal ability nud for his high social quali ties. He is also, ns wo have rea son to believe, personally our friend. But ns greatly as we ad mire pur genial Judge we insist thnt the present situation, politi cally speuking, should not be chang ed without stronger and better reasons than have been ndvnnced for n change. * Judge Crisp, doubtless, is ambi tious to rise above the high plnco lie now adorns, and such ambition is natural nnd laudable. He id urged in this direction porliaps by some who long to wear the judicial ermine, nnd who hope thnt fortune might decree for them the inanttc that would fall from his shoulders. To run the programme mapped out by the advocates of tho proposed change, would in all probability greatly weaken the Judiciary of this circuit without any compensa tive gain iu our Cogressional Representative. At all events we trust there will but it's a beauty. Very few of [ them were marked so as to furnish a clue to the senders. It’s a splen did collection, though, and some thing we take pride in exhibiting to visitors.” “Will you use cither of these for hanging Gniteau?" “No. Bob Strong, the hangman, has decided to use a part of the rope with which Bedford and Que- nnn were executed. He says that ’s the best rope he ever saw.” “Has Guiteau seen the collec tion?” “No, we have not considered it proper, and have carefully avoided alluding to it in his presence.” “He has knowledge of it, has he not?" “I suppbsc that he has seen in the newspapers announcements of tho arrival of rope at various limes, but 1ms said nothing to us on the subject.” “VVliat do visitors say about these ropes?” “Well, couldn’t begin to tell you Women generally shudder and turn away; nnd, now nnd then, men handle them and discuss their rel ative merits. But, ns a general thing, nobody comes to do more than to glance at them. AVe had a fellow here tho other day—u show man, I took him to be—who wanted to buy the whole lot, to be deliver ed on the day after the execution. He offered a thousand dollars for them. But wo took no notice of his proposition, because we believ od that his idea was to sell each rope for fabulous prices, represent ing them to bu the identical ropo with which Guiteau was hanged.” “Will the rope used at the exe cution be cut up anil sold as relics?” “I don’t know; but it might as well be, for within twenty-four hours after Guitcau's death I am satisfied that pieces of‘that identi cal rope’ wili be offered for sale in every section of the country, and all the side-shows and museums will have the rope on exhibition lar of the 22d inst., making inquiry in reference to successful furmiiij to hand, bhasten lo reply. I will say that Mr. M. G. Logan, 1,111 William Pilcher, William Davison, and George W. Council are very successful planters. They nil raise their supplies nt home, have diver sified crops, and they have made planting a success. I will also mention Mr. J. II. Black who is a ptantcr, and tanner and boot and shoo manufacturer, and a merchant. He raises something of every thing that this soil and climate will pro duce, and makes his busiuess self- sustaining and profitable. I know no men who raise nil cot ton that are doing well. C. C.

This is all well; but the majority of the richness should be put on corn, “Confinement is beginning to show on him,” Mr. Busk said, “and he gets sullen and crabbed at times.

One evening there was a reception, and nmong tho people who came was a gentleman of such noble mien, such lofty features, such a superb ami dignified presence, such a placid serenity, such a manly beauty in every line of his face and person, that us he moved in a crowd I couldn’t turn my eyes away from him. He seemed to hold me with u spell. I think lie was the hand somest man I ever saw; it wasn’t merely physical beauty; it was spir itual beauty as well. Jfis who'e face was radiant with the ‘solar light.’ Ho had very dark eyes— large oriental eyes—a leonine mass of black hair, and was full-bearded. I was so fascinated with him that I hardly felt like talking, but after a while found myself seated beside a charming Jewess, Miss X , a young woman full of enthusiasm for her race and proud to talk about it. “Oh,” said she, “the day is not far distant when we shall go back to Jerusalem. AVe are accumulating wealth and power that we may bring them together there and make it like the city of a dream. The great bankers, Bothschilds, and the rest, will bring their wealth tlmre, and we shall rebuild the temple with their treasure. AVe have the capacity to do great things. Our blood makes good leaders. Beaoonsfleld is a Jew. Jules Simon is a Jew, and there is Hebrew blood in Gnmlietta's viens. Then in the arts we show our ca pacity for success—hark, they’re playing one of the “Sungs With-1 out Words”—Mendelssohn was a : .Jow, Bacliel was a Jewess; there is | no knowing to wlmt heights we might rise if the loot of the earth | was taken off our necks, ns it will j be, as it surely will be, for God has j promised—your God and mine.” “Then,” said the poet, “you’ll chose you a king—one of the Both schilds, I suppose ?” “No, no, we have our king. Our king must be of (lie lineage of David.” “And must you find a son of David after nil these centuries?” “Oh, yes; it is n part of our re ligion to keep the family records. There must be a setting straight of genealogies at every week of week-years (49 years). AVe know where to find our king—he is al ready chosen, and is waiting to be crowned.” “And where is ho now,” asked the poet. “There,” said tho Jewess, and she pointed to the man who had so fascinated me. “It is the Baron , of London; lie is recogniz ed by all who keep tho faith as the one upon whose head the crown would be plnccd if the day of restoration should come to morrow.” WBMMM / A. combination cf Pres | toaddeof Jr<m,rcruvlan 1 Bark and Phosphorus* in )a palatable form.
