They were sown last January from Landrelh seed, bought of Massen- burg, and are certainly grand in their proportions. A New Regulator.—F. M. Bunker, druggist and pharmaceutist, of Abbeville, Alabama, sends a sample bottle of “Semi nole Liver Regulator,” a medicine pre pared from purely vegetable ingredients, by him, for all the thousands of ailments having their inciting cause in a disordered or torpid liver. We shall try it. —Mr. Charles Reade, since Ms report ed conversion to Congregationalism, is said to be a most diligent student of the Bible, the whole bent of his mind being now towards attaining Christian knowl edge and doing Christian work. It is said, further, that he is meditating upon a delineation of scripture characters and events. " —Mr. Gladstone is relieved by Lord Hartington of the fatiguing burden of leadership in the Commons during the small hours. In' consequence of a private arrangement between the leaders the Premier will not, as a rule, remain late in the Commons. On great occasions he will remain till the close of the sitting; but his services may easily be dispensed With on five nights out of six. All Afloat in the Arctic.— Marine arrivals' in New York bring strange and startling tales of the vast num ber of icebergs and fields of ice afloat on the high seas; and some of them say they expect to find the North pole itself afloat among the debris. One ship ran into a berg and lost her mainmast, and several steamers had very narrow escapes from fatal collisions in the fog. The steamship Bertha encountered several off New foundland, which reduced tbe tempera time of air and water to about 34; and down their sides great cascades were pouring. Waycross and Jacksonville Rail road.—The Quitman Banner says the contract for the grading and construction of the above road was let out last Tues day. There were several bidders, so we learn,, among them Mr. S. G. McLendon, of Thomasville, who, it has been said, had put in a bid for the entire line. It is thought that.he was the successful bidder. We hope so, and that he may make big money out of it. Several cargoes of fish bar steel rails are now in Savannah, for this road. It will be put through in a hurry, say by the first of December. Mass Meeting.—There will he amass meeting of the Democracy of Telfair, Montgomery, and adjoining counties, at Lumber City, on the Macon and Bruns wick railroad, on Wednesday, the 23rd of June. Gov. Colquitt ( and other promi nent speakers will address the people. Arrangements will be made with the rail road authorities to have special trains from both directions. It is to be the gath ering of the campaign in the wiregrass re gion. There will be a basket dinner served after the speaking, to wMch every body is invited, and expected to bring c. basket well supplied, i - t Freaks of the Weather.—Violent tempests in the West are noted yesterday, of which no detailed' report can be given on account of the prostration of the wires. It is only known that they resulted in great damage to. property and some loss of life. These following on tbe recent storms of the same kind on the Atlantic coast are calculated to inspire a whole some dread of the weather. Nature has, apparently, some unsettled accounts with this country. In Minneapolis, Minnesota, yesterday, there was a snow storm, which would not have fallen in Macon, with a mercury at 98. This shows how various are the priv ileges and opportunities in a country so large as ours. Beaumontaoue.—The investigations into the terrible Tay bridge disaster hav/e brought to light a new substance employ ed to fill up and conceal defects in iron castings. It is composed of iron boringB, brimstone, pitch, sal-ammonia, rosin and beeswax, which are all boiled together in an open vessel until there only remains a thick viscid mass. This is cooled, rolled into small balls and allowed to harden. The balls are broken into lumps, these are pressed into the flaws and holes, and when they are filled the beanmontague is pressed with a hot iron, which melts it down into all the holes and crevices. The surface is then filed smooth and rubbed with sand, when it will be found that every sign of a flaw has disappeared, wMle the iron is not strengthened in; the least. Beaumontague is thus clearly an adulterating substance, used for diegnis- ng defective castings. —Mr. Goober was a gentleman ,who lived in the Mormon country. He bad but one wife, and never thought of taking any more till one.dAy.an elder tackled him and told him solemnly it was his religious duty to seal unto himself a few others. Mr. Goober went home and sadly inform ed his wife of what the elder had said, and Mrs. Goober said she would have no objection provided the elder ’ would qome round and argue the case with her piously. Goober told the elder, and the elder: drop ped around. He smiled sweetly as Mrs. Goober 1 advanced to meet Mm. But, alas! that smile was his last—for a week or two. Tlie next thing he knew he was skipping around the room witli his coat slit up the back and his hat knocked into pi, wMle Mrs. Goober whooped him up with tbe broomstick. He Anally Jumped out of a window and escaped with his life, a sadder and wiser man. The next time be met Goober he told him he had had a celestial revelation by winch he (Goober) was relieved from the necessity of taking any more wives. The one he had (Mrs. Goober) would count for al most a thousand in the New Jerusalem. Last Week’s Cotton Figures. Tho New York Chronicle of Saturday reports the receipts of the week ending Friday night, 11th instant, at 18,580 bales, against 0,512 the same week of last year. Total from 1st September last to the 11th instant, 4,761,090, against 4,407,422 bales for tho corresponding period of the previ ous cotton year—showing a net gain of S74,274 bales. The interior port business of the week was as follows: Receipts 7,910, against 2,408 for the corresponding week of last year. Shipments 23,510, against 7,581 last year. Stocks 115,038, against 32,429 last year. The Chronicle’s visible supply table showed on Friday night 2,208,814 bales of cotton in sight, against 1,659,144 at same date last year—1,908,161 the year before, at same date, .and 2,54S,945 in 1877 at the same date. These figures indicate an in crease of649,070 and 300,658 hales respec tively on the supply of the last rtvo years, arid a decrease of 340,131 bales on the visi ble supply In 1877 at this date. Cotton on Friday last in Liverpool was quoted C13-10 for middling upland. At the same date in 1879 the quotation was seven pence. In 1878, at the same date, mid dling upland was quoted at 6 5-16, and in 1877 the same. The Chronicle appends the following to its weekly report of receipts from planta tions : The above statement shows— 1. That the total receipts from the plan tations since September 1st in 1679-80 were 4,889,433 bales; in 1S7S-79 were 4,- 434,199 bales; in 1877-78 were 4,232,548 bales. 2. That although the receipts at the out ports the past week were 18,580 bales, the actual movement, from plantations was only 2,983 bales, the balance being drawn from stocks at the interior ports. Last year the receipts from the plantations for the same week were 1,471 bales, and for 1S78 they were 6,392 bales. The Chronicle's weather reports from the cotton region for the week ending last Friday state that every thing is extremely favorable. Texas reports light showers— fields clear of grass and crop developing finely. Highest mercury 97; average 83 to 85. New Orleans had 1.97 of rain dur ing the week. Shreveport 0.75. Nothing from Mississippi. Little Rock had 0.33 of rain, an average mercury of 70 and highest rise 90. Crop accounts exceedingly favor able. Memphis was troubled with grass, plant strong and brandling low and well; average mercury 79; highest 94. Nash ville had 0.70 of rain; highest mercury 93; average 74. In Alabama—at Mobile: 1.28 of rain in the week, highest mercury 90, average SI; crop in fine condition, getting clear of weeds. Montgomery: a light shower one day, highest mercury 97, average 81. Selma: rain on three days; crop accounts favorable. Columbus, Georgia: 0.18 of rain duriDg the week, range of mercury 75 to 05. Macon: 0.24 of rain, mercury 66 to 91. Savannah: 0.53 of rain, range of mercury 69 to 92; increased acreage of cotton, complaints of grass, labor less effi cient, but larger part of crop in good con dition. Augusta: weather warm and dry, range of mercury Cl to 96; crop develop ing finely. Too Much Money. The country, though in debt beyond the possibility of computation within a reason able lifetime, yet has so much money that Congress don’t know what better to do with it than to build monuments, make pensions, pay bounties to patent pulp machines, clean out creeks, and run steamships for the chances of picking up trade where It doesn’t exist. Besides this, the United States government is the only concern we ever heard of that bought fish swimming at large in the sea. Yes! Her Imperial Majesty, Queen Victoria, may defy all the fishermen in creation to show any approach to her thrifty bargain, when she sold the United States five millious worth of codfish that had neither been caught, nor cured, nor belled—swimming loose in the bonndless Atlantic, and still subject to capture by mankind at large. Nobody who had not too much money would ever have made so insane a trade ns that.' !•' But what makes the case more grievous is the fact that so much of tMs waste men ey comes out of poor people, who study night and day, from January to Decem ber, to feed and school 1 the children and make both ends meet out of their narrow incomes. It is raised by charging a tariff of about 75 per cent, on spool cotton—mak ing the poor mothers pay sixty or seventy cents per dozen for spools, when, but for the -tariff she--would get the dozen for twenty-five cents. It is raised by chaig- ing a tax of one cent upon every box of matches, when, but for the tax, you would buy the whole for less than a cent per box It is raised by a thousand such wrongs which take the hope of gain and growth from the1 poor—which ruin our; for eign trade and kill wholesome com petition in domestic trade, by requir ing enormous advances of ready money on taxed articles, before they can be put into market; so that men of small capital have no chance, whatever. Yes, grind a big income by a high tar iff and enormous excise duties out of the faces of the poor, and then spend the money in Improving Dry Creek. The remonstrances of millions of tax-payers weigh little or nothing against the smooth tongues of,the bounty-fed few, and at last the country is gravely told'that: the existence of high protective duties for twenty years has created a- vested right to a perpetual tax. Household Service. :l Every year, “since freedom,” additional embarrassments and difficulties have gath ered around the question of household service, in all-its* practical aspects. It is be coming,yearly, more difficult, to Iliad servants of any kind, and'much more dif ficult to obtain satisfactory service. As the ranks of old serrariu become tMnned by. time, it is increasingly evident that their children have little disposition to fill the vacancies; and, wheueyer they under take the work, soon tiro, and quit, mainly out of mere love of change. They “must rest” every mouth or two, so that by the time they are familiar with household duties they are off. mn ;.,i I n>n Householders, are/obliged to look tbe situation in the face arid make such pro vision for it as is possible. Part pf tMs will be found in new, if not .improved, material changes. No longer can the kitchen be far distant from the house. and a sort of independent affair. . It Must have all the arrangements needful for an occasional spall* of k'tehen work by tbe white ladies of thfe establishment—all of whom must know how the-work sUouid be done—for the situation of “no’cuok” is now an oft-recurring- one. I Some talk there has been about club- ing among householders to bring out from Northern ports parties of freshly landed immigrants. The result among parties would doubtless be as varied as the characters of tbe immigrants them selves. They would come entirely igno rant of oar cookery, our social usages, and generally of our language. All their habits would have to be changed. About three months would be lost before they could be of any important service. Such an one came as a sempstress to a lady friend, and her first month was spent in learning the English sentence “rip it out.” Now, is it not possible to find enough of untutored white girls of our own State and aronnd us, who will learn what we should have to teach the foreigner in a similar condition? We know of cases where good and useful household assist ants have been obtained in this way, and believe their number might he increased to much mutual benefit. An important point in facilitating mat ters might possibly he gained by the es tablishment of an intelligence bureau, where parties desiring service could find parties desiring situations. This is needed in Macon, and, rightly conducted, could hardly fail of proving a convenience. Since it is very clear that we must adopt Northern habits to a greater or less ex-1 tent, let it be with Northern conven iences. . !i. Finally, every household should have in view permanent -provision for service, combining their own convenience and advantage with that of the persons em ployed. Intelligent families can, in this way, oflen do a great deal of good. They can contribute vastly to the moral, mate rial and inifellectusl interests of employes EDITOBIAL GLIMPSES. The State Horticultural Society will hold its annual session in Atlanta on the Sd of August next. The Southern Ex press company, with their ostial gener osity, have kindly agreed to handle all ar ticles for exhibition free of charge. The oid fashion way of choosing a can didate was, *is he honest, is, lie.capable?” Alas! for modem improvements. It is now, “is he available, no matter what Ms character may be.” Availability is the maelstrom that has wrecked many a party. The Chicago convention was a squabble of tb6 factions, and no citizen of intelli gence can feel anything but disgust for tho exhibition which It has. given of the spirit and methods of American politics. Will the Cincinnati convention ilse above the petty jealousies of partisans, and vindi cate our character as an enlightened and intelligent people ? Wm. H. Fleming, superintendent of the public schools of Richmond county, has tendered Ms resignation, to take place on September 1st. He will enter upon the practice of law in Augusta. .- The Republicans find themselves more heavily handicapped with Garfield and Ms record than they would have *befin with Grant and the third,term. So, at least, it looks to au unprejudiced mind. It is said that the only thing that com mended Arthur to the Chicago nomina tion was the discovery that Hayes had kicked him out of the New York custom house. Washburne waited patiently for the lightning to strike Mm, but it hit another if they will, and secure in time domestics I man * bound to them by personal attachment and identity of interest. Care, observa tion and patience may secure this desira ble end in most cases. State School Law. Prof. J. C. Lyne^of Shorter College, through the columns of the Rome Tribune, calls attention to an important amend ment to the State school law. He quotes a section of the Tennessee school law, and thinks the defect in our law could be remedied by the passage of this section: . “No State or county superintendent, school director, or any other officer, or teacher shall have an/ pecuniary interest directly or indirectly in supplying hooks, maps, school furniture and apparatus to the public schools of the State, nor shall act as agent for any other publisher, book seller or dealer, etc.” The professor then sustains Ms sugges tion with the following vigorous com ments, all of which we heartily endorse : I sincerely hope that this matter will be brought to the attention of the next legis lature. No argument is needed to dem onstrate the wisdom of such a law. In deed, one would suppose that with men qualified to assume the responsible and delicate task of directing our educational affairs, the crudest suggestions of proprie ty would deter them from assuming such awkward relations to the public interest, as the above law of Tennessee contem plates. I think, for the sake of decency itself, that vigorous action should beta ken to prevent men, especially those di rectly engaged in the sale of school books, from serving on school boards, text book committees, or in any capacity where they will be in position to form rings. Nothing iu this article is intended to prohibit or even discourage manufac turers, publishers, authors and agents from exhibiting their material or publi cations, respectively. Indeed, they are cordially invited to do so, but to partici pate, as by right, in the deliberations and other business of the convention, is just the fifth wheel of burthen with which we can easily dispense Those who propose to legislate for us next winter ought to make a note of this fact, and go prepared to sustain tMs dis qualifying section that has been passed by many other States The Democratic national Conven tion. The Cincinnati convention meets next Tuesday. The only element it will con tain approaching to a personal faction will probably be the Tilden following, and this will scarcely number a tMrd of the body; or, as we fancy, be very invet erate. The nomination of Garfield, how ever, who was one of the 7 to S commis sion, which, contrary to all law, reason and justice, ruled Tilden out, may give the latter more strength in the convention than we suppose. Tilden has the right location—the Em pire State—and m Ms person the country was defrauded of its duly elected Presi dent. But Tilden has lost strength greatly in the past four years. In 1876, he stood as the symbol of integrity and. reform. He had just terminated a grand purgation' in New York, and no one questioned his personal integrity, wMch thousands now do. Besides these foots he is in feeble health and sixty-seven or eight years old, with a weak constitution. The continued calls on Seymour, not withstanding his persistent Refusal to run, indicate the strong drift of opinion that the nomination must be specially address ed to carrying theState of New York. If there'is/Any chance of overcoming Sey mour’s scruples, very possibly he will be the man. He is seventy years old, 'but lias a good constitution, and, at this age, is an erect, vigorous and handsome' man; besides enjoying an unchallenged reputation of the purest, wisest and test of New York statesmen. If has. been well said that a ticket made up of Sey mour, of New York, and Thurman, of 'OMo, would be a strong one, and fur nish a bold .contrast, to Garfield and Ar thur. r r I -.j'l r ,1 .in . . ( Dismissing Seymour, the drift would seem to incline next to Senator Bayard, solely on account of his'high, personal character—he could give no local strength in any State where it would count, bat as against a ticket smirched in both candi dates with foe stains of official corruption, Bayard’s pure and lofty character would loom up like a light house in a daik * - - Next in order of possible candidates maybe Judge Field. . Senator Thurman, ex-Senator' Hendricks and Gen; Hancock are also before the country. The conven tion, as a mass, meets to inquire who ought to beand who can be: nominated, and not to force' any particular man on the country. : L , ; '* ‘M Wo see no elements,]Qf.(disturbance, noise and clamor menacing tbe quiet and dignity of the body, except threatened del egations of roughs from New " i Ybrk ; C.ity (o he sent by Tammany, and on foe other side, by Tilden; Tammany,. it is said, Hflll fond 1,500 rowdies and hoodlums to increase foe admiration and love felt for tliat political association throughout the country.

After all, Lord Roscoe accomplished the main object of his pilgrimage to Chi cago, wMch was the defeat of James G. Blaine, of Maine. It is said that over 135,000 emi grants have landed in our country since the 1st of January, 1880. What a field of operation for the politicians 1 No doubt they will put them in instant train ing for the caucus and polls; and it will not be the constitution, either, that will serve as a text book. However, it requires five years to acquire citizenship. Sunday Observations.—We have often been astounded at the want of rev erence on the part of many people who go to church. Levity seems to be on the in crease, and many young people either dis honor the name they bear, or there has been a woful neglect in their training by their parents. No well-bred man or woman will behave ungentlemanly during divine service. “The “Duke of the Silent Mask” has spoken. At Milwaukee he said: “Com rades in arms, ladies and gentlemen, I should be very happy to address you, but I am not in the habit of making speeches.” The raven-wingof Chicago over-shadofved him. His heart was too full for utter ance. “Carry* foe news to Hiram” has a new version in Garfield’s nomination. The news went and they had a rousement over the new candidate. John Gimpel tried to kill his wife in New York, and then cut his own throat. He was fortunate, for if he had lived in Georgia a jury would have declared him insaue. The Atlanta Post, one of the spiciest journals in the South, and full of vigor and life, is expostulating with its ex changes about foe habit of plagiarizing. It is love’s labor lost. When we first en tered upon duty, we thought all men as honest as ourself. But we had that con- ceit taken out ot us in a very short time, by seeing an article, with mistakes and all, copied and published as original in another paper. We wrote a piiff of a wa tering place, and in a few days saw it in a leading Georgia paper. We afterwards learned that a marked copy was sent aud a complimentary ticket returned. We lost our ticket, hut not our temper, we had done somebody good. We have yet to find one of the gover nor’s appointees who is not in favor of his renominat'.on. However, it is a hanLtask to forget and turn the back of your hand on one who has given you place and posi tion.—Phonograph. We have not found a single man whom foe governor refused to appoint to ah of fice but who is not against his nomination. No, not one. It is hard, however, to for get a want of appreciation upon the part of any one. “Cheap railroad rates increase trav el,” is a fact that no one will dispute. The great rush to Catoosa springs is attributa ble more to Col. Wrenn’s excursion rates than to aDy one other cause. One week’s board and a ride from Atlanta to Catoosa and return for $10. Other attractions have their Influence, but this is foe cMef one. ,/ , . ,• i| We met a puzzled delegate. There was no trouble to know who to vote for on foe first ballot in the gubernatorial nomina tion, but who to vote for next. The tWp- thirds rule will rale out nearly all the prominent candidates. Who is to be the dark horse here ?‘ We suggest Col. W. T. . Thompson., We thought there would be a consider able enthusiasm created and manifested over the Chicago nomination. But the effort is a failure; ‘ The bad records of both men, the soreness of the defeated candidates and their friends, and the con sciousness that the ticket is doomed to de feat, has chilled foe thermometer of en thusiasm and has given the party the all- overs. . .. Hon. Franklin Landers was nomi nated by the Democrats as candidate for governor in Indiana, and Isaac P. Gray, for lieutenant governor. Governor Hen dricks says a stronger aud better ticket was never offered to foe Democracy of Indiana. The feditor of the Savannah Nieurs truth fully says .“no wise man recklessly chucks a gold eagle into a frog pond; and yet, that Is just what a man will do if he votes with this little Greenback-Labor party.” In this immediate section there are but few who divide their principles in that way. ''.no' The Democracy of Florida have chosen wisely their standard bearers in foe com ing contest. With Hon. W. D. Bloxbam for governor, and with Hon. J. J. Finley and'Hon. A. H. M. Davidson Tor repre- tatives in Congress, they will destroy Ho- 1 ratio’s pMlbsophy, ancT send little Sammy Conover back to Ms native Mils.. 1 The young man who became ruffled at our “Sunday observation” on yestef-day, will understand, that we did not mean I urn. We spoke only of those who go inr side of the church. The 'habit of this standing corps of opening ranks, as the ladies come out pf foe church, Is more military than: polite. The ladies keep their eyes straightforward, but their ears, unfortunately, are open, and riot* unfre- quently catch the pert criticisms of this gallant baud, upon their style and cos tume. In the language of. an offended school girl, the estimate of this unsolicited gallantry may be gathered: “I despise the man who wantonly gazes at me in front of the church door.” A word to foe wise. Over 135,000 emigrants. Such figures are sometimes uttered with a beamy coun tenance and rubbing of hands, as if the waves of emigration could bring us noth ing but good, as if they must deposit sin alluvium of unmixed benefit wherever they come in contact with American life. We do not so constrae.it, an,d have, often wondered how our national Character can .endure such a drenching from this foreign element. When settlingla large bodies they retain their peculiar national tradi tions and traits and repel all efforts at Americanizing them, ^Tt> this,' more than fo any other cause, is t^p disregar^l cf the Sabbath day attributable. We would gladly welcome them if they came not to destroy, but to. maintain our institutions. The more daylight that is let in upon foe records of Garfield and Arthur, the worse these records appear. D - ,i! ' , Gen. Rosecran’s official report, satfs the Detroit Post, of foe battle of Chjckk- mauga, says “Gen. Garfield procee Jed to the front.” Alas! foe? Post did not quote further,where it says,h6 incontinently pro ceeded to the rear in utter confusion. The friends of Miss Ringey, of Lin coln, Illinois, who married a negro, say she is insane, and they aie taking steps to have her placed in an insane asylum. This is drawing It mildly. Dr. Arthur Edwards ought to interfere. ' This is Garfield’s platform for recon ciliation: “On this sole condition, and that condition we will insist on forever: That in the war for the Union we' were right, forever right; aud that in this war against foe Union they were wrong, for- ever wrong.” He will shake hands over foe bloody chasm upon no other basis. The Southerner must acknowledge him self wrong, and forever wrong, before this sainted individual can recognize him upon equal terms. . Mb. Sherman, foe discomfited, has already commenced the work of “gettihg even” with the delegates who deserted Mm at Chicago. There will be considerable hair pulling before the ides of November. The first in Georgia is the nomination of Thos. J. Johnson, as collector of customs at Savannah. The other deserters must go. The editor of the St. Louis Democrat, a stalwart and a Grant sympathizer, dies hard. He says: The anti-third term idiots should cease their bowlings now. If the liberties of this country were ever seriously endan gered by tlie third election of a man to foe Presidency, it is foe reverse of con soling to know that there were 313 intel ligent votes cast for a third term in a con vention composed of 756 delegates, and that, too, after all the tricks known to parliamentary skulduggery had been ex hausted in efforts to reduce the number. We see it stated that foe grandchildren of William E. Dodge, of New York, An son G. Phelps Dodge, Jr., and Miss Ada Dodge, cousins, whose elopement, two years ago, made a sensation, were mar ried in London, Saturday, all the Dodges consenting. The notorious Corbin while addressing the negroes at the Republican meeting at Beaufort, S. C., recently, told them that they should select men only of purity and intelligence to represent them. If they take his advice the Democratic ticket will be elected by an overwhelming majority. The New York Tribune says foe more abuse that Garfield receives, the closer the party will stick to him. • No one doubts that the blacker foe character the better suited is he to represent foe party. The ringmasters who conducted the show at CMcago would not take a man with the “aggressive integrity” of Edmunds or the reputed unflinching honesty of Wash burne. But Garfield, besmirched with dishonesty and eraft, suits them exactly. Decent Republicans are disgusted wifo foe work done at CMcago. A nut for the Cincinnati convention: No man should be nominated forVicq President who is not capable of filling the presidential chair. Let the failure at Chi cago admonish foe delegates to Cincin nati. -• <*. j Col. Streioiit, somewhat known in Georgia from the fact of his capture during the war by General Forrest, is to be the Republican sacrifice upon the gubernato rial altar in Indiana. The Wilmington, Del., Ecery, Evening suggests-that Virginia transfer to Delaware the counties of Northampton and Acco mack; and then significantly remarks; Delaware does not raise any repudiators. It punishes petit larceny.so severely that cooperative robbery by a whole people lia3 never been thought of. Gen. LongstbEet has got his Turkey. He will soon pack his little carpct-bagand pay his respects to the Sultan. The colored Republicans wear a dole ful countenance. They had thought that Grant was their redeemer, but, lo I !the Chicago mob has killed MM, and - they have laid him away in the tan yard-at Galena. Fleeing to the mountains is the topic of conversation just now, while the ther mometer is grazing 100 in the shade. Along the Air Line railroad in Northeast Georgia will be, found the most delightful mountain retreats.

The Sun's rays when brought to a fo cus barn and are much more effective for some purposes than if allowed . to diverge and cover all the political field.

Hayes’ Veto. The people will be glad at last to see the mask thrown off, and the bill for an impartial Supervision of the polls vetoed on no n bre technical pretense. The one idea of the so-called Republican party'is to control the American ballot and to make themselves superior to it. Nearly one half of the party, as represented in the Chicago convention, were the more or less avowed or ill-conccaled advocates of a personal, imperial government—nomi nally, at first, elected by the people, but whether elected or not, a ruler who would not hesitate to seize the reins of power. '•*" The great argument for Grant in all their mouths was that he was a man who will not stand being “counted out.” Now a3no man, excepting Tilden, was ever “counted out,” or attempted to be counted out in the United States, no man of the millions of the American people ever Mid a doubt of the true meaning of tMs ex pression applied to Grant. If he was a candidate he did not mean to accept de feat at the polls, and that was the point' on wMch all foe friends of all the rival candidates at CMcago agreed. They do not mean to accept defeat at the ballot box. First, they will exhaust machinery at foe polls to prevent a defoat—next, they will exhaust the civil and militaiy re sources of the government to defy and frustrate a defeat at the ballot box, should it he inflicted. Thi3 is the true state of the case. Now, the bill vetoed by Hayes proposed a somewhat impartial supervision of elec tions as between political parties, in lien of a force composed wholly of active paid agents of one party. It is the grand prac tical defect of the United States govern ment that it-must, apparently, ever be a partisan government. Every minister of foe government, from president down’ to the humblest official, is a zealous, ppid agent of the party, and all the influence, revenues and force of the government, executive and judicial, are used to per petuate its power and cripple foe suffrage, which is an appeal to foe people, as the primary and original source of power, for judgment for or against the manner 1 in which that power has been exercised., t Upon foe result of that appeal depends the salaries and bread of all official in cumbents, and, therefore, every one of them is under bonds of foe most weighty kind to resist by all means, fair or foul, the overthrow of his party; A hundred thousand of these regular agents, paid out of the public treasury, swell foe ranks of those waging a perpetual war against; re form or change; and it is to maintain the ability to increase this regular force by a hundred thousand more that Hayes vetoes this bill. • The plea in justification is the purity of the baltot; that is to say, a ballot guarded by legions of partisan Radicals, without a Democrat among them, must necessarily be pure and impartial, while a proposi tion to divide the force must necessarily imply fraud! In all this long struggle in Congress, on the one side for an indepen dent ballot, and on foe other for a ballot under exclusivelyRepublican domination, this insulting plea has been set up by a party which has hut'one-design in relation to foe ballot; and that is to make them selves independent of it! It is enough to say that, in the future, should foe Democrats, 1 as a party, come Into the' administration of thegeneral gov ernment and the laws remain as they are, there is little doubt that the Republicans would proclaim a revolution before they would long patiently • submit to tliem They’wonld then be pronounced by every intelligent man in America as fatal to the whole'theory of the suffrage—as a grand conspiracy to perpetuate power against foe will of fob people—as an intended death blow to popular liberty. As such let Hayes’ veto be assailed before every liouest crowd of American voiers.

The official statement of the American Exchange puts the incoming cotton crop, up to 1st May last, as follows: 1879-90. Bales. 65,070 4,756,037 488,873 16,901 ■Mi 14,139 Stock, September 1st . . * Port receipts to close May . Overland to mills Overland to Canada . In transit overland close May Total supply ..... 5,341,020, The previous crop to same date is stated at 4,864,969, and footed up eventually, at the end of the year, 5,073,531 bales, show ing that the receipts 6f June, July and August;were.208^62 bales. Admitting that they are 300,000 bales this year, then the crop will be about 6,600,000 bales—a gain of over - half a million bales on : foe previous year;, This is a heavy gain, and, without some falling off of product in other quarters, would soon make cotton- growing a slow and ruinous business. .The truth is, oiu*- agriculturists should recognize, in. advance of foe enforced cri sis, the necessity of diversifying products, and so of not carrying all their eggs in ope basket. What.wifo sheep husbandry, rice, tobacco and sugar, as well as growing the fibre for their , own bagging, they could, it they would; vastly .increase foe net prof-< its of Southern farming, besides securing themselves permanently. against ruinous declines in foe staple by wMch the crop becomes an annual loss to the country. Great revolutions in Soufoem agricul ture are impending.. Labor is bound to rise in price, so that it must.be used wifo economy. Not long is half oc third of a bale to the aqre going to pay. Not long will great areas of poor land be cultivated. The time is coming.when less foari a bale to foe acre will be regarded as lost crop ping, and it won’t pay at all to fence and spread over three times as many acres as you number bales. •-Farming will become more arid more a business requiring fonfty and adventurous management, i The Army Worm. In the “Eighth annual report on. he noxious, beneficial, and other insects of Missouri,” Professor O. V. Riley has an exhaustive article on the army worm, from which we extract the following sum mary of what is known about this in sect: < •‘The army worm comes from a buff- colored nioth having a conspicuous white speck about tlie middle of each of foe front wings. This moth haunts ohr fields from the middle of June till winter. Those which issue early in the season probably lay their eggs in the fall, while those wMch issue later Mber- nate and lay their eggs in spring. The eggs are most probably laid on mature grass and. grain stalks, whether cut and in stack or standing. They are either inserted between the stalk and sheath, or attacked in rows along tbe stalk. The worms, when not excessively numerous, hide during the day and are seldom no ticed. In years of great abundance they are also generally unnoticed during their eary life. The earliest acquire full growth and commence to travel in armies and to devastate our fields and attract attention about tne time that winter wheat is in foe milk. They soon afterwards descend into thp ground and thus suddenly disap pear, to issue again two or three weeks later as moths. The bulk offoem become moths in this latitude the same season, but a few probably Mbernate in in the pupa state below ground, and tlie proportion of these increases as we go north. There is but one generation annual ly. The worms abound daring wet springs, precided by one’or more wet years. They are preyed upon by numerous enemies, wMch so effectually check their increase during years of great multiplication that two great army-worm years have never followed each other, and are not likely to do so. .They may be prevented from in vading a field by judicious diteMng and burning over a field in winter or. early spring effectually prevents their hatching in such fields.” v .. . ■ ; . . ■' ■ Cucumbers and Melons in South. Georgia. We noticed, says the Florida Dispatch, that George R. McRae, of Valdosta, Ga., had shipped the best encumbers received in Boston aud Philadelphia markets. We called upon Mm for a statement asito number of bushels that could be made per acte. He being an intelligent and (re liable farmer; Ms statements can he relied upon. He is not yet prepared to make statements for publication or foe guidance 'of Ms neighbors. ! He has been experimenting in truck for Northern markets a few years only. He says he learns something every year. He increased Ms fertilizers 25 per cent, after the : first year; next, 50 per cent.; now, 100 per cent., and finds it profitable. Also, that all the extra care in selection and preparation for market of the best product only, pays best; that'it does not pay to ship inferior or second quality. His crop of vegetables this sea son consists of cucumbers, tomatoes and watermelons. He can make 800 bushels of cucumbers on an acre of ground, but does not want to say so, but is willing that'we should" say 500. He has fifty acres in watermelons, ftom which he expects to ship fifty carloads. ‘ He commenced by plauttog eight by ten feet apart. He has increased the fertilizer in the hills and the distance between the Mils. He proposes to try them twenty' by twenty feet, and still greater increase the amount of fertilization, by rotation of crops. He does no£ believe it the cori-ect thing'to allow one crop of melons to suc ceed another on the same land.' t Too Kuch “Arfleld and Garthur.” “Drank again, eh?” Justice Harris shouted to Samuel Harris, a dilapidated prisoner at foe Tombs police court yester day. “Yesb, judgfoe; drunk’gain —; very .drunk’gain, judgshe.” - , *1 “What was it this time, Samuel—the : weather, the army worm,; or another baby in the house ? ”■ “Judgshe, be candidate—should say be candid; I will be candid—did.
