vrrtiser says that when a political party
sinks so low in demoralization as to be
controlled entirely by the spoils of politi-
eal conquest, its end is nigh.
The World sees in the distractions
slabbing! off in the East and West, that
tho Radical party is "on its lait legs,”
and in the same breath pronounces the
Democratic party, (which, as we have
boon told, hqs toon dead so msny times,)
fnll of life, strength and so If-reliance .
If corruption and venality—if entire
abandonment to the Inst of spoils and pow
er as the controlling motive of all political
action, could have killed the Radical
party, it would have been dead as a her
ring long ago. Since the war but one
question has determined all it! action

that miweiyisow to consolidate the power
of the party and ‘ strengthen its grip on
office and public plunder. For this it has
sacrificed,States—doomed them to bank
ruptcy and financial ruin—consigned their
intelligent people to the remorseless des
potism of savage impudence and knavery.
And all this time’it lias never hesitated
officially and publicly to substitute ad
herence to its fortunes for fidelity to *’ne
government and the public welfare. In
deed, all tlio 1'ia'ler® have gravely ai<

that banditti do sometimes break up on
that issue. But as for <uiy siylden

among the Radical massei—taking lire
at the sacrifice of country to party—at
the trampling down of justice, law and
common sense in tho interest* of rampant
political and personal scoundrclism—let ns
dismiss these notions. The party and
its policy are all one. It suits them and
they approve of it, and will stick to it as
long as it pays.
So we shall indulge no hope of see in.?
Radicalism die in our time, so long as
they do not go to loggerheads about di
viding the plunder. That is tho only
danger to them—that is the only point
about which they are likely to lie sensi
tive.
It is the basest political organisation
ever yet seen in America; but latterly it

A Lobster Farm,
Massachusetts has, it seems, already
discovered a way of supplementing the
natural supply of lobsters, which is get
ting short. A lobster farm ha* boon es
tablished by inclosing a space of thirty
acres of so-called “flats,” on an arm of the
sea, by a dyke, with an arched way in the
centre, to permit thd ebb anti flow of dhe
sea, the tide rising three feet insider and
eight feet outside. During July and Au
gust of 1S72, 40,000 of all ages, sizes and
conditions were let loose In tho pond.
Food, consisting of refuse from the fish
market, was plentifully supplied to them,
ami tho gate was put up to prevent their
escape to the sea. Lost winter holes were
cut in tho ice and trapf were put down.
Good hardshell lobsters were caught, thus
proving that the water was deep enough
and puro enough to keep tho fish alive,
and that the lobsters were healthy.having
taken on their hard sholls, and having re
covered their lost claws. Tips spring
about 15,000 male lobs tens were taken out
and sold, the female lobsters having boon
thrown hack for brooding purposes. Few
are aware of the great length of our soa-
coast, measuring all !*aya and inlets of
water, and how large thobininoas of’rais-
ing oysters, clams, lob it or* and other fish
may booome. Some waters are already
worth a thousand dollars an acre for the
production of oysters.
«Farm to Rent for less than
Taxes.”
The above, says the Mcmphif Register,
is a starting announcement,, and will no
doubt cause those whose ©yes may be at
tracted by it, t6 stop and inquire where
the farm is, and perhaps also to ask the
cause which leads to so .great* a sacrifice.
The farm lies convenient to all tho mar
kets of a large city in the South, contains
eight squares of ground under picket
fence, has a large orchard ol plum, orange
and fig trees, scuppernong grape vines,
etc., of choice qualities. The farm at a
former day and time was a source of a
profitable income to the owner. Now it
is an expense to him. The cause is tho
effect of Radical rule in Louisiana. The
advertisement appears in the New Orleans
Rt-pubUc&n, ♦Itho official journal of the
State of Loufsmna.” It proves thD lament
able fact th^t the rule of Radicalism in
that State has destroyed the value of real
estate in and around one of the most
flourishing and prosperous cities in the
South. • It is the index finger of warning
pointing to the people of Mississippi and
other States to the dangers which are
threatening them.

like this: "I/'t’H go down town, gvt

proached them and suggested that it was
closing up time, and also volunteered the
information, in reply to a question, that
they were not in a public saloon. “ This

It seems that some of tho members had

A Bia Snake.—On Friday last we wore
shown, by Mr. W. W. Clemen3, a rattle
snake which was killed on his turpentine
farm some ton or eleven miles below Ca
milla. and brought to town by hint as a
sample of what his Land can produce in
the way of rattlosnakes. The snake was
six feet long, about ton or twelve inches
in circumference, and had nine rattles
and a button. As there were many in
town who had never before s»*en a snake
of that species, it created much interest
and some excitement. Mr. Clemens says
that there have been some seventy of this
species of serpent killed on his farm since
the first of last year, many of which were
much larger than the one brought to Ca
milla. He thinks there have been n few
killed on his premises, that could have
easily swallowed whole tho one in ques
tion. #

Sudden Death of a Former Augus
tan.—By private letter from Montgom

Wilson, a native of Augusta, died very
suddenly at his residence in the former

information is to the effect that 3Ir. Wil

usual remedies were resorted to, but with

Wilson was born in Augusta about 1809.
and was eonsequcstly sixty-four years of
age. Ho was engaged for many years in
the firm of Heard A Wilson in that city,
conducting the warehouse business, and
was widely known throughout Richmond
and Bibb counties. He removed to Mont

he met and married a daughter of the
late George R, Clayton, Esq., of Milledge-

State of Georgia, who was on a visit to
that city. He settled in Montgomery
after his marriage, and had been engaged
in business there ever since.

Last "Weeks* Cotton Figures.
The New York Commercial and Finan
cial Chronicle for Saturday says the total
receipts of the first five *lay3 of tho cot
ton year, terminating Friday night, were
8 f S3(5 bolc3 against 8,237 bales last week,
10,541 bales the previous week and 10,-
581 bales three weeks since, making the
total receipts since the first of Septem
ber, 1873, 8,856 bales against 13,541 bales
for the same period of 1872, showing a
decrease since September 1,1873, of 4,fi9S
bales.
The New York Market.—The Chroni
cle says the feature of the week was an
active demand for consumption—sales
■regating 12.575 bales. There was an
advance of half to three-quarters of a
cent on spots in ordinary and good mid
dling, and a still more decided advance on
futures. This improvement is attributed
to an active demand for consumption and
a considerable curtailment of anticipated
supply from injury to the crop by cater
pillars.
Weather Reports by Telegraph.—
Our reports by telegraph to-night are on
tho whole some*vhnt more favorable, al
though undoubtedly very considerable in
jury is being done by worms and cater
pillars in tho lower half of the Gulf and
Atlantic States. But even over the most
of that section the weather has been more
satisfactory, rain having fallen much less
frequently. With regard to the injury
from the caterpillars, we infer from some
of our telegrams that it is largely con
fined to the top crop, the bolls which
make up the bottom :ind mid<lle crops be
ing mostly too far advanced. From Nash
ville and Memphis it will be noticed that ! almost <
onr advices are very favorable. At New
Orleans there liave l»een showers (said by
our correspondent to be local) on moretlian
lialf the days of the week. It has rained
on three days at Mobile; crop account;
are conflicting, but they continue to grow
less favorable, as the catorpilLvrs are do
ing great injury everywhere, so that the
top crop wiU be poor. At Montgomery
it has rained only on one day, but hero
also the caterpillars are reported at work
everywhere, so that crop prospects are
daily less satisfactory. About the same
report comes from Selma, with the addi
tion they had three heavy showers the
early part of tho week; since then it’ has
been clear and pleasant. At Macon they
have hail rain only on one day, and our
corresponilont adds that tho 'weather is
fine for picking. It has been warm hnd
dry all the week at Columbus; worms are
doing so much injury that tho top crop
will be poor. They have had rain on one
day only at Savannah; at that point crop
accounts eortin?*** favorable. Therp hue

house and Security Company,
New' York, September 9.—A director

states that the Company’s assets are
about $2,500,000, but does not know how

Missouri, Kansas and Texas Railroad owe
the Company a million dollars, onc-lmlf
of which was secured by bonds of the road
and notes of the Land Grant Railway and
Trust Company, and tho other half by tlic
personal guaranty of five railway direct
ors. Two of these were Skiddy and Gaudy,
directors also of tho Warehouse Com
pany. Tho note3 of the Land Grant
Company, of which Skiddy is Pres
ident, are considered good. The

not paid, bgt is secured by personal guar
anty. A loan waa also made to the West
Missouri railroad, amounting to $50,000,

unless viewed from a second-story win
dow ; at least we are so informed by a
tax-payer who dines standing since he
witnessed the great canine combat on
Ferry street yesterday. Tho crowd was
anxious that a little dog should whip,
particularly after ho had incidentally
bitten a foreign bootblack who spoke
disparagingly of Springfield dogs;
and when he led the big dog about by
the ear even strangers hysterically em
braced each othc** and clapped then* hands.
This excessive joy was moderatea by tho
big dog suddenly darting between Mr.
O’Flaherty’s legs, whereupon tliat gentle
man sat down upon the pavement so vio
lently that his eyes seemed to have turned
over in his head, and several minutes’
rapid wanking were necessary to get the
pupils in front again. During tho in
terval a country-minded individual was
inspired to punch the little dog with liis
umbrella, and immediately thereafter
went home to poultice his eye. Several
gentlemen picked up the umbrella, and
one man, who wanted it os a memento,
was promptly afforded a memento of an
other sort, but resembling a miniature
umbrella, under his car. Wliile other
tax-payers were pulling tho umbrella
to pieces a colored pefson accidentally
stepped on .a largo portion of both dogs,
and forthwith they quit fighting and
began an indiscriminate collection of
pants* samples in the crowd. Those who
could climb did so at once, and those who
couldn’t ran. But tho dogs ran, too, and
had time besides to make it very unpleas
ant for persons on the fcnce3 whose feet
were witliin jumping distance. The num
ber of people in tliat vicinity who finally
reached their homes with tho appear
ance of carrying handkerchiefs in their
rear pockets was not accurately estimated
owing to the fact that the philosophic
observer was himself engaged in avoiding
an introduction to tho heroes of the con
flict.—Springfield Republican.

Contributions to a Scalp.—A young
lady who had her scalp tom off by an ac
cident in New Haven recently is rej>orted
to lie doing finely. The Journal and Cou
rier says: “ The physicians have found
thirteen persons willing to part with a
small piece of their cuticle, and tlic medi
cal gentlemen have placed the contribu
tions on tho head of the patient with
gratifying results. As one after another
volunteers to let the doctors clip off a
piece of skin, the number of those wil
ling to do likewise increases, and it looks
as if tlic girl would have a scalp and a
head of hair again. The younger physi
cian attending first set the laudable ex
