Haiti more Sun. “The Democratic members of the I louse whose views upon the Tariff I till have been ascertained, are, as a rule, much pleased with it. Some who were opposed to touching the tariff two years ago now favor the new hill. Bliss and Stahlnecker, of New York, Outhwaite, of Ohio, and some of the Louisiana ‘sugar men’ expressed them selves, it is said, as disinclined to follow the Republicans in resistance to the measure, now proposed. The Demo crats who seem disposed to oppose it are the ‘wool men’ of Ohio and Califor nia, and the ‘iron men’ of Pennsylva nia. Mr. Randall is reticent, but has unbosomed himself so far, it is report ed, as to describe the bill as a joke and as a compromise all on one side. His obligations to the Republican party of Pennsylvania for bis seat are, however, of unyeielding character, and his oppo sition lias been expected all along by those who took the trouble to consider bis position. He, will, as usual, lead a contingent of so-called Democrats over to the Republican side when the time comes to vote, but the indications are that his forces will not amount to much. The defection will be to some extent repaired by recruits from the Republicans. The Minnesota Republi cans are sturdy supporters of the bill, and members from other parts of the- Northwest may be expected to-#lisown the suicidal policy of stupidly opposing all reduction of taxes. This is the policy t he Republican party is allowing itself to be committed to, to sustain the exist- ingonerous taxes and spend in pensions the surplus revenue they produce. •It lacks, evidently, an intelligent sense ol the present needs and convictions of tlie people, and the Democrats, from the point of view of practical politi cians,could have in the coining campaign no better card than to ridicule the folly of a party bent on making times hard by keeping taxes high. When the new tariff hill is presented in the House and the more sensible Republicans con sider the probability of its defeat, it is not unlikely, therefore, that a break will occur in t heir ranks, with the result of giving the bill a fair majority.” Meeting of the State Democratic Exec utive Committee.

Henderson, in his report of the Soil-Test of Fer tilizers, conducted under the direction of the State Chemist at Athens, Ga., says the object of the experiment was— “To test the result of fertilizing with a cheap composted fertilizer compared with equal quantities of high-priced commercial fertilizers. A compost was made of the following substances in the relative proportion named, viz: Acid Phosphate 1250 lbs. Cotton Seed Meal 500 lbs. Kainit 250 lbs. “This was applied on one portion of the plat >tde by side with three standard fertilizers, A, B, and C, each at the rate of BOO lbs. per acre.
