It is projKwed in England to reduce the

him, but before he could overtake tbu ani

To judge from the mutilicr of empty
houses iu the city of Berlin, that so-called
centre of thought and actively is yearly
offering fewer atiraclions as a place of
residence. Iu 1871 1,500 dwellings were
vacant, in 18i3 1,375, in 1875 8,328, in
1S77 18,209, and iu 1S7S 2J,09S. Since
then the city has apparently had a little
business boom, and there lias been a slight
influx of population; but still over 15,OUO

The Petroleum Trade in 1880.
The annual review of the petroleum pro
duction and export business for the year
1880, as published by the New York Com
mercial and Shipping List is not an alto
gether satisfactory array of figures. The av
erage daily production has increased from
65,000 barrels In 1879 to 57,700 in I860, or
12,700 barrels per diem, equal to 23 per
cent. At the same time the .exports have
fallen off over 2,000,000 barrels, or 77,000,-
000 gallons. The production is thus large
ly in excess of the demand, but the great
coatrolling interest which has taken this
industry into its custody has so far been
able to prevent any decided tacllnq in
prices during the present yeay. This mo
nopoly interest lias succeeded, also in
further drying np the trade here III Balti
more, as well as in Philadelphia. The
exports from this port in 1S80 were only
15,131,070 gallons, agiiDst 222)05,028 gal
lons in 1879, and 37,712,900 gallons in
1878. Tho exports from Philadelphia
fell off from 02,243,103 gallons In 1879 to
54,073,040 in 1880.
Which of the Two to Choose.
The consolidation of the two great
American telegraph companies creates
much excitement and indignation in the
American business world. This consoli
dation has been made on a basis of eighty
millions of capital slock, which is proba
bly six times more than is necessary to
do the business, and represents any
amount of needless expenditure, incurred
in buying out rival companies end by the
process termed watering. The American
Telegraph Oompany, which at the time of
the transfer was well provided with all
necessary arrangements to do the busi
ness of th3 country, is understood to have
expended abont eleven millions of dollars;
but a good part of that had been spent in
law suits, fighting for right of way.
It is not improbable that a capital stock
of elglit or ten million dollars would
meet all the material expenditure needed
to do the telegraph business of the coun
try, upon which six to eight hundred
thonsand net income would have paid
satisfactory dividends. The consolidated
company will need about five luillious of
net income to do it row; and the business
people don’t want to pay so much for the
service, while tlie company, by engross
ing it, plainly intimate that their idea is
to charge whatever is necessary to make
satisfactory dividends.
The New York trade boards are all
threatening to start another company
which can’t sell or bo sold out; but that
was done in starting the American Union
Telegraph Company. That wa3 also
a company which would not and could
not sell out. It was an incorruptible, as
well as spacious concern, started iu the
Interests of the people, to reraaiu as a per
manent champion of reasonable teleg
raphy inthe interests ol the people. But
yet we sec what has become of it; and the
next one started would add 10,000,000moic
to the stock of tho consolidated Western
Union—-for that stock now constitutes n
financial necessity of eighty millions to
extinguish opposition and cheap lolls.
Tlie men who will create a new financial
interest which money cannot control arc
not born yet.
But there is a more probable and dan
gerous idea, which is rapidly evolving out
of this dilemma. This is a government
purchase and monopoly of tlie lines of the
Western Union. Hundreds of thousands
of politicians and business men will go in
for this, because, first, they do not care
how the government spends its money, so
they can get some of it; and, second, it
would realize at once the dreams of the
imperialists and make the government
practically independent of all popular
control. It would double the army of of
fice-holders and placemen under its pay
as party-drilled sergeants—it would put
all the telegraph lines of the country in
the exclusive service of the so-called Re
publicans, and every campaign movement
of the Democrats in their keeping—in
short, it would kill all opposition as soou
as developed, and give the Republicans a
title deed to the public administration in
perpetuity.
And what about “cheap” telegraphy?
Whan tlie government raises an average
duty of about sixty per cent, on the value
of all merchandise passed through the
custom house, be is a sanguine man who
expects it to operate the telegraph more
cheaply than it is done by private hands.
On all scores tlie transfer of these costly
wires to the government, so far as the
bulk of the people are coucerued, is but
Jumping out of the frying pan into the fire.
CoL Blount for Governor.
The Washington correspondent of the
Atlanta Constitution put the question to
Mr. Blount the other day, “Whether he
would allow the use of his name for the
next governorship?” Ho laughed and
said:
It’s too far off yet to think about, much
less to talk about. To bo Governor of
the State is an aspiration worthy
the ambition ot any Georgian, and
I do not hesitate to say that
I should be glad to be Governor. As to
whether I will enter the race—or whether
I could succeed if I did, fliose are ques
tions that are as yet out of date. I* have
many friends who appear anxious to press
iuy name, but I have two years ol bard
work that I aui under contract with the
people of the sixth district to perform,
before I can give any thoughts to prefer
ment.
This was a very prudent response on
the part of our excellent immediate rep
resentative in Congress. He is content
with the faitliful discharge of present du
ties, and declines to chunk np the fires
under the political chaldron in Georgia,
which has hardly yet ceased simmering.
Bhould Mr. Blount, however, at the proper
time, be brought forward by the Democ
racy as its standardbeaicr in the next
election for chief magistrate, he would
make as strong a run as any man in the
State. But let those matters “be.”

The Repudiated Bond* of the Bruna*

.1 * _
An Able Lawyeb Sustains the Re
fusal of tub State to Pat Them.
Appealed to' by those high In authority
and at the request of others desirous of
knowing tho true status of the refusal of
th<f Legislature to val.date the-ttogijs
bonds of the Brunswick and Albany rail
road, Col. R. K- Hines, of this’ city, has
prepared an exceedingly conclusive and
exhaustive article on the subject, which
completely viudicatcs the action of tho
General Assembly of Georgia. The ex
pose appeared gome days since in the col
umns or the Atlanta Constitution, and
would have been published hut for its
great length and the pressure upon our
columns.
Mr. Hines goes through the whole his
tory of the failure oithe road to comply
with the conditions upon which State aid
was predicated. He shows how the
New' York banker, Henry Clews “went
back on” the President, Mr. Kimball, In
bis promises of material assistance, thus
rendering him powerless to redeem his
obligations—how the contractors, laborers,
etc., were thus left unpaid, aud sued the
road—how the State then intervened and
seized the road—how every attempt to re
trieve the situation by assistance else
where proved unsuccessful, and how at
last “Poor Henry” came to grief for his
nonfulfillment of his solemn and re
iterated promises. Bullock’s flight from
the State in October 1871, the utter fail
ure of Gov. Conley and the officers of the
road to make Clews pay the debts due to
laborers who had faithfully performed
their contracts, and the subsequent re
pudiation by the Legislature of $3,000,-
000 of bonds which had been issued aud
signed in defiauoe of the charter, and con
trary to the act ot 1860 authorizing their
endorsement upon express conditions,
uever fulfilled, all are graphically set
forth iu tho paper of Col. Hines. He also
re-produces much official correspondence
throwing light ou every transactlota that
took place, and making the whole matter
patent to the miud ot the intelligent
reader.
A ter completing the entire history of
the case, and showing that the State
bad wrought no wrong to tho bondholders
of the road by refusing to recognize obli
gations that had never been complied with,
Mr. Hines concludes as follows:
The bondholders are hound by what
is known In law as the law of estop
pels.
Tho contract of Georgia, in indorsing
their bonds, is very plainly a Georgia con
tract, aud r.H tbe legal principles govern
ing that contract aud all its incidents and
the rights of all parties flowing one of it
must, of course, bo governed and con
trolled by Georgia law. By turning to the
code, sectiou 3753, wo find “Estoppels.
Presumptions of law are sometimes con
clusive, and averments to the contrary will
not bo allowed,” and among the in
stances of estoppels given is the follow
ing:
“Solemn admissions made injudicio,
aud other admissions, upon which other
parties have acted, either to their own in
jury or to the benefit of persons making
the admissions, and similar cases where it
would be more unjust aud productive of
more evil to hear tbe truth than forbear
the investigation.”
Now, eveu if the bondholders had a lo
gal right to assert the validity of these
bonds, having asserted and acted the
cuutrary, they cannot now be allowed to
change their front. They are fully ou
record asserting that the State had repu
dialed its endorsement, and therefore the
courts should givo them certain le
gal rights and remedies. They have ob
tained these rights and exhausted these
remedies to the enormous detriment of
others and their own great benefit, aud
cannot now be permitted to stultify them'
selves by asserting rights entirely iuoon
sistent with the position thus lakeu.
Having disposed, 1 think, of the legal
questions in the matter of the first mort
gage bondlioldeis’ claim on tho State, I
think every fair-minded man, when con
versant with the facts, must say this ques
tion is answered also. Had these bond
holders trusted to the State’s honor, a dif
ferent case would havo been presented. If
any feeling of sentiment controls the
future action of the State, I would first
call attention to that larger class of claim
ants, among our own people, who havo
oL ained nothing out of the case, aud
Sd's.est that “charity should begiu at
home.” These bondholders now hold a
road over 180 miles long, which cost over
$1,000,000, running through one of the
fiueti. forests of virgin pine in the world.
They have but to equip llieirroad, instead
of, as now, utterly neglecting to do so,
spend some money in bringing emigrants
from Europe and locate them upon their
line, add to its facilities and business by
completing it or securing conuectious, and
give that attentron to their investment re
quired to make any business successful,
aud very soon their property will pay them
well aud satisfactorily. Yours, etc.,
R. K. Hines.
Colonel Hines has conferred a favor on
the people of Georgia by his lucid and
connected sketch of the history of tho
“Bogus Bullock Bonds,” which will al
ways be valuable for future reference.
Native Wine.
Its Vastly Increasing Production.
A California dispatch puts down the
number of gallons ol wine manufactured
in that single State for the past year at
the enormous figure of 11,000,000 gallons.
These wines are already In fuir request
and command high prices abroad. The
producers, however, are victimized by
speculators who come among them at re
mote points from transportation and get
the wines at their own prices. Tho mer
chants of San Francisco really reap the
lion’s share of the profit.
It will not bo many years before all the
Southern and Atlantic States will be wine
growers to a considerable extent. Geor
gia and North Carolina bid fair to lead
in this important enterprise.

■i The Tariff Question. /.
There Is a scholarly,non-partizan article
oh this subject lu the International Re- j
view for Febmaiy, which, after a hislqil-.
cal summary of tariff legislation in Eng
land aud America, says: '
“It Js Impossible to deny, on a review
of the whole subject, that so Tar as tariff
legislation is concerned, we have departed
very far from the'principles laid down by:
the fathers, of the republic and by the
moderate statesmen of both parties of the
last generation. Tho protective system,
as they understood it and agreed to it, was
something exceptional, provisional aud
temporaiy. The fathers adopted this
system in self-defense and in opposition to
the restrictions and prohibitions which, as
wo bare seen, met them in all their at
tempts to push their foreign trade; but
they never thought, so far as we can judge,
of Incorporating these old-time and old-
world restrictions ana prohibitions as a
permanent feature in tbe national policy,
much less of making them the corner
stone of that policy, as some among us
would now seem to do. They wonld
have been slow to admit that any limita-
»lou or disability on trado and commerce,
or any tax or tribute on the mutual Inter
course of nations, could be an absolute
good; or that it could be jnstiGed ex
cept on tbe broadest grounds of ex
pediency or In view of any great
emergency. They had suffered too much
from the colonial or mercantile system,
so-called, to feel anything bnt repugnance
for it; and we caunot believe that, know
ingly or Intentionally, they would have
left eveu a modification of the system as a
perpetual inheritance to those who were
to come after them.”
But no historical ground against pro
tection can possibly weigh a feather com
pared with that fundamental objection of
practical inequality' of tax. Equality of
burtheus is the essential condition of
tax, without which, it is robbery. A and
B are citizens—tho first a protected man
ufacturer, and the second an unprotected
farmer. A gets neb on tho bounty of
protective tariff, which taxes B sixty cents
on a dollar for all he buys.
Quinine From Coal Tar.
We have the surprising information that
Messrs. William Pickardt and Kuttroff, of
03 Liberty street, New York, have applied
for a patent for the preparation of sulphate
of quinine from coal tar. Tho New York
Bulletin, treating of this alleged discovery,
says that the firm have been interested
with a chemist to accomplish this for sev
eral years, and with favorabio results. Of
course, if quiuiuo can be manufactured
from coal tar, the fact will revolutionize
a large aud prosperous trade. During the
year 1879, as much as $2,000,000 worth of
Peruvian hark, from which quinine is
insde, was imported, aud though the duty
was abolished some time ago, yet the prin
cipal manufacturers, who have the trade
almost eutirely in tlicir own bauds, will
bo loth to have their business ruined by
any such nveutiou os this. Something to
take the place of quiuiuo has long been
sought after, especially as little has been
done to cultivate the cinchona.
A chemist who was applied to for in
formation, staled that lie had uever heard
of a process for manufacturing quinine
from coal tar, but there was nothing in
the thing more improbable than tlie man
ufacture. of the aualiue dyes from the
same substauce, which is an accomplished
fact. Of couise, an entire chemical
change must take place to produce qtif
nine. Coal tar is tlie remainder alter gas
has been extracted from bituminous coal
at a high heat. It contains naphtha, ben
zole, carbolic acid, naplialiue aud analo
gous compounds. The firm iu question
are largo importers ot these colors, which,
perhaps, explains bow their attention lias
been directed to this new matter.
If this alleged discovery should prov
true, it would be productive of an im
mense saving of liumau life in malarial
districts, and prove a most valuable bene
faction to all mankind. No drug enters
more largely into tho materia medica of
the physician, and many aie tlie diseases
in which its use is considered well nigh
indispensable. The great drawback,
hitherto, lias been Its excessive dearness,
which practically places it almost beyond
the roach of the poor.

There is no victory connected with death
It is a surrender of all that we know of ex
istence.” How true! All that we know
ol existence is connected with a form, a
person, a being, and we see ail of these
surrendered in the death struggle, and go
down iuto the grave in darkness and de
cay.—'Telegraph and Messenger.
And the above emauates right in the
midst of Christian surroundings, amidst
thousands who know of tlie witness of the
spirit and realize that deatli of tlie natural
body is but freedom and victory for all
God-fearing souls.—Griffin Sun.'

the victory will be enjoyed elsewhere, not

“Glad to See You Out.”—In the
course of a short peregrination, a day or

with the expression, •‘Glad to see you

chamber Invalid, laboring under a chronic
disability. Now, a man may not be able
to jump a ten-rail fence and yet be regu
larly at work at his post. The senior ot
the Telegraph has not missed bat one

then not on account of illness. He has
been “out” and at work far more regularly
than any other editor of tho Telegbapu.

A Humorous Argument In Its Bkualf
A correspondent of the Bichuiond His
patch takes the novel ground that it
would be a calamity to society
tho peasantry and laborers of tho com
munity were all liberally educated,
Uear what he says:
Educate everybody liberally, and
shall have no hewers of wood aud draw
ers of water. These are as necessary lu
the division and ecouomy of labor as the
scientists, tlie statesmen, the jurists, the
philosophers. What cook will bake a po
tato root after analyzing a Greek root?
What cook, male or female, will boil a
ham after mastering or mysteryiug tlie
Shemitic theory? -What man will reap
wheat who lias been rocked in the cradle
of liberty, aud has reaped laurels at the
high school? Will he plant corn after ho
has planted his feet on Parnassus? Will
he he a feller of trees after he lias lecomo
afeilow of some college—Wake Forest, or
the like? Will he plough after he has
handled Plowden? Will he black boots
after be has studied Blackstoue? Will
ho put away coal after he lias stored his
mind with Coke u[kjii Littleton? Will
lie wait on the table after lie has become
familiar with the most intricate tables of
logarithms? Ask him to cook a turkey,
aud he will want to know if you tako hiui
fora goblcr. Ask him to hand you' the
oil, ana he will bring you the liistoty of
Greece. Uuny him, and he will tell you
that he does not belong to tbe school of
Swift, though a week in your service whl
satisfy you that he Is inclined to Steele.
He prefers niutton-cliopi to chopping
wood. He calls a small slice of ham
Barau’s Abridgment. Beef always re

works. Sc hi i*.
There are not a few nuggets of solid
truth in tbe foregoing, as tlie old parents
of colored children and hundreds of vexed
housekeepers can testify. As soon os the
son of tlie former denizen of the old plan
tatlon learns to read, and struts off to
school every day with satchel full of read
ers, grammars and geography, in many
instances be conceives an ineffable con
tempt lor the “old folks who don’t know
nothing,” and utterly casts off the parental
authority. Hegiows independent,marches
off to play instead of helping them to
work whenever the opportunity is afford
ed, and, Just as soon as possible, leaves
them in the lurch to seek his own for
tunes.

Tbe question is, wbo wi'l it be? U e sup

ol the conservative etemen.s oi tue 804th,
aud that would be most a 'eeptable to
Southern sentiment—not in a mere party
point of view, but on account, of ability,
experience, and high moral character 1 .
We think you will agree with us when
we say that Judge Kenneth Uay tier, late
of North Carolina, Is the pr oper matt for
a place iu the cabinet, iu the event that a
Southern man is to be selected. Judge
Itayuer was born and raised in the South.
Ho kuows aud appreciates the
Southern people, aud he is
known anil appreciated by them.
Everybody regards him as a man of emi
nent ability, unquestioned Integrity aud
great experience in publieaflairs. To stun
up, lie is a gentleman, having the esteem
and respect of all who know lritu. Trie
Southern people, of ail parties, caunot
fear to trust him. Sour hern public opin
ion must have weight with Geu. Garfield
iu selecting the Southern member of his
cabinet. If yours and other leadiug jour
nals in the South will make a serious
demonstration iu favor of Judge II., \vu
think you can have great iullueuce In se
curing the selection of a Southern man,
in whom the interests of the South, or of
the whole couutry, would be subserved.
Respectfully,
Many Republicans.
To which we are forced to respond,
that we can’t join iu begging this crumb
of recognition from Mr. Garfield. For,
first, we have no personal claims ou Mr.
G. Second, although, years ago,wekuew
something of “Judge Kenneth Rayuer,
late of Xo:tb Carolina,” we do not know
where he stands now; aud, thirdly, oue
cabinet appoiulment from a section enti
tled to three, is simply a beggar’s dole
aud an iusuit, like a ten cent contribution
lo lire cause of universal education. II
Mr. Garfield wishes lo show respect to the
Southern people, he would at least ap
point three representative 'men from the
Southern States in his cabinet. Less than
this was never allotted before the war,
and is due to theirelative population aud
importance of tho section, aud such ap
pointments, properly made, would be of
ficial notice oftlie removal of the ban ot
subjugation and inequality. This would
at once remove the necessity for that po
litical unity in self-detense which is so
much complained of by Mr. Garfield’s
partisans; for tho Southern States would
see, in it, a voluntary concession of their
equal citizenship, while the very effort to
beg and entreat one member of tbo cabi
net, as a great favor, is the strongest pos
sible admission on all sides ot the dis
grace and disqualification which are im
posed upon her. We cau live along, and
raise our com and potatoes without a
member of the cabinet.
The Big Cotton Crop.
A review of the cotton crop and its
movement that has just becu issued by the
Bradstfeet Agency estimates tho number
of acres planted in cotton this season at
16,500,000. This Is an Increase of 3,000,-
000 over last year. Sinco November the
weather has been very unfavorable. In
Texas, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana,
Arkansas and Tennessee rains, snow,
sleet, and very cold weather have retarded
picking, and caused great loss. On the
low grounds the fields have been sub
merged, and the crop is still unpicked.
The Indications point to a crop distributed
as follows:

Califoru,* or elsewhere, it would certain
ly be “unreasonable” to bar out tho Chi
naman from the labor market by legisla
tive prohibition. Aside from .such occa
sion for complaint 011 the part of the Pe
kin government, however, it is plain
to see that any such proceeding
would, in fact, be legislating against
the interests «f out own people;
and fire matter is one, therefore, that con
cerns us quite a3 much as the Chiuese
themselves. The truth is, if Congress un-
de take to “regulate” tlie labor market
uuder this clause, it will place itself in the
absurd position of boxing wind
mills; for 03 long as Chiuese immigration
to British Columbia and Mexico is un
hampered by such restriction, v,e are in
clined to tbiuk Cheap John will find his
way into the United States through chan
nels which no legislative ingenuity, 110
race prejudice aud 110 communistic ex
clusiveness will be able to dam up.
Aside from the race question, tbe most
important features of the new treaty may
be briefly summed up as follows:
The Chinese government expresses its
willingness to unite with our government
in every honorable method wlrich may bo
suggested for tho extension of the com
mercial relations between the two coun
tries.
Tbe opium trade by American vessels
or citizens with China is prohibited.
Tonuage duties aud discriminations are
forbidden inthe commercial intercourse
of the two countries, and this applies also
to the coastwise trade ot China.
Auother, and by far the most impor
tant and valuable concession to our com
missioners, grants explicitly “tbe trial of
all actions, whether of tort or contract,
arisiug between our citizens and the sub
jects of China, in the courts of the judi
cial authorities ot tlie defendant, and the
appli ration of the laws of the defendant’s
nationality to all such litigations.”
This will effectually put a stop to tho
ancieut aud summary usages of the Em
pire, where the taking off tbe head of auy
unfortunate offender was a matter of
very trivial consequence.
Ou tbe whole, tbo new treaty secures
many advantages to American citizens
not hitherto enjoyed, while it is far less
oppressive to Chinese immigrants tnan
we were prepared to expect. Indeed,
a very largo latitude is extended to them.

The grand juiy of Essex county, N. J.,
receully.made tbe following deliverance
in their presentments:
The grand jury also desire to say that,
in their opinion, the crime'of wife-beating
is seriously on the increase; that the in
fliction of imprisonment results in many
instances iu injury to the wife and family
of tlie accused man without any corres
ponding reformation of the guilty person.
The grand jury beliove that the whipping
post would be a mode of punishment bet
ter calculated to remedy tile evil thau tlio
present punishment of fine and imprison
ment.
The presiding iudge was so pleased with
this recommendation that he said ho
would order the presentment placed on
file and wonld forward a copy to the
President of tho Senate and the Speaker
of the House.
If ever a man’s hack deserves to bo
striped for any offense, assuredly the
brutal and cowatdly act of maltreating his
own wife is sufficient to warrant a resort
to the wliipping-post. Let him be paid in

The New Telegraph Company,
The New York Herald of the 16th In
stant says that the most important news
ofthedaywas tho announcement that a
number of wealthy and enterprising capi
talists havo already organized a new tele
graph company as an opposition to tho
monopoly which will exist when the con
solidation of tlio existing lines takes place,
Wbo are tho gentlemen concerned will
not be announced until their plans are
ready, but this will be in a few days, and
they “mean business,” according to state
ments of trust worthy authority. The ar
ticles of incorporation are already prepared
aud the capital represented is said to be
ample.
A semi-official announcement of the
formation of the new line was made at
the Colton Exchange meeting reported
below. Tbe New York Land and Ocean
Telegraph Company will also issue its
prospectus within a few days. The com
pany was organized about a year ago aud
has just perfected its arrangements for
laying two cables across the Atlantic be
tween Sable Island and Great Britain.
The negotiations with the English gov
ernment necessary to secure a connection
with the government land lines in the
country are concluded and the cables»wlll
be manufactured at once.
Tho company is an American one, in
corporated In this State and several oth
ers, and its object is to connect the prin
cipal business cities with New York and
thence with Europe by cable. The capi
tal stock is $6,000,090, and the same
amount of bonds are to be issued. The
authorization from the Secretary of State
provides that if tho company consolidates
or transfers Its privileges in any way its
rights are forfeited. Two cables will be
laid, made of phosphor bronze, better
than any yet constructed, it is said, capa
ble of sending twenty words per miuute,
and to cost only $0,000,000. The cable
rates are not to exceed twenty cents per

The Profits of Sheep Raising.
Judge Davenport, of Montana Territo
ry, purchased 1,000 ewes, which cost him
about $3,090. He put these in charge of
a young man who was to take them on to
a range, take ail the care of them, pay all
of the expenses of t,.e baud, and to re
ceive as his share, one-half of the wool
produced, and ouo-lialf of tlio increase of
the flock. At the end of four years a set
tlement was to be made, and Judge Da
venport was then to receive back 1,000 of
the best owes which the band contained.
When the settlement was made Judge
Davenport had received for his share of
the proceeds of the wool $6,500, and for
his share of the increase $8,000. Tlie prof
its on the investment of $3,000 for four
years were $14,500, or 120J per cent, per
aunum.
This beats all tho agriculture inthe
world. And yet the same results cau be
obtained in Georgia, provided our legisla
tors will have the nerve to pass a “dog
law” which is in perfect accordance with
the constitution, aud would prove an im
mense benefaction to the people. Tho
question arises, when wolves and panthers
are legislated against and in some States
large bounties are paid fori their destruc
tion, ought that equally ferocious and
sanguiuary enemy of tbe harmless and
useful sheep, the miserable cur, escape,
and be peimitted so to multiply as to ren
der the growing of wool and mutton suc
cessfully almost impossible in this com
monwealth? So do not a majority of tho
most intelligent of our farmers tliiuk and
express themselves.
Potatoes.—We were surprised yester

of the Irish potato, freshly dug from the
beds, which we have seen lately. In the
face of the deep freezes which have solidi

the last month or two, we accept this pres
ent as conclusive testimony that tbeliome-

oftojury from cold in its natal bed, and
there is tbe place to keep them. The hand
