of the live stock In Western Texas
has died of starvation and oold dur

Baldwin oounty names Capt. T. F.
Newell and Hon. F. 0. Furman as
her two of the delegation to the Con
stitutional Convention from the 20tb
Senatorial District.
A white frost in some of the par
ishes of Louisiana on Bed river, on
Monday morning last, killed some of
the young ootton, but perhaps did
not destroy the stands.
The Dispatch reports that the ilsh
ermen about Hawkinsville are hav
ing splendid luck dipping for shad.
Some have caught as many as ten
with a few dips of their nets, and
they ars of large size.
We learn from the Dispatch that
the Hawkinsville wool market (pro
bably the largest in Georgia) will
probably open about the 15th or 20th
of this month, and it is thought the
ruling price will be about 20 cents for
unwashed wool in bale.
The grand jury of Fulton oounty,
on Thursday, found a true bill
against Benj. W. Briscoe, who is ac
cused of raising a check for 11,000 to
>6,000. There was a good deal of
mystery about It; some hard swear
ing was done In the case by one side
or the other, and experts differed.
Mr. Briscoe was held in a bond of
>3,000, which he gave.
A letter from Milledgovllle to
the Macon Telegraph reports anew
theory of the murder of Mrs. Shaw of
Baldwin oounty. Her husband, Mi
chael Shaw, was on Thursday under
examination as the supposed murder
er. The mother of Mrs. Shaw was
prosecuting the case against him,
and it was said that his little daugh
ter, four years of age, said that ho
killed her mother. This accusation,
if sustained, makes the murdera still
more shocking one.
Dr. 8. W. Leland, of Bartow coun
ty, (who la, by the way, one of the
moat sensible men of Georgia,) thus
felicitously delines his position in re
gard to seeking and accepting office.
It would have puzzled old Martin
Van Buren to do it more happily: “I
am not, aDd will not be a candidate
again for office, but I hope that will
not prevent the people from taking
forcible possession of me, and con
scripting mo into their service, I
have the good of my people so mndh
at heart, that I would make almost
any sacrifice to oblige them,”
How is it that we hear of 600 Gov
ernment employees being discharged
from the Treasury Department at
Washington, when a few weeks ago
the Republicans wore insisting that
Democratic retrenchment bad re
duced the official force so much that
the machinery of government oould
with difficulty be carried on ? We are
not objecting to the discharge of use
less employees, but we think that the
discharge of so many unnecessary
officers might as well be accompanied
by a frank admission that the Demo
crats were right in cutting down the
appropriations.
The Albany Neum of Thursday re
ports fine rains in Southwestern
Georgia, which came at a good time,
refreshing and invigorating the
crops. The oat crops look particu
larly fine and promise a sufficient
supply. The amount of new grounds
is larger than at any time sinoe the
war, and provisions and stock sup
ply crops aro in the lead. The News
thinks that with continued propi
tious seasons the products of South
western Georgia this year will be
‘'lmmense.” Cotton looks a little
sickly from a reuent cold snap, but
will doubtless quickly reoover.
The Montgomery Advertiser learns
by a note from the U. S. District
Attorney that there will be no jury
trials of criminal causes In the U. S-
Circuit and District Courts at Mont
gomery, during the May Term. De
fendants, witnesses and jurors are

Prof. Cyras Thomas, a member of the
government commission, who has made a
etrelul survey of the grasshopper infested
districts in the northwest, has arrived in
thie city, and is of opinio® that the gras*
hopper pest has about run its course. In
stead of spreading over the entire north-
heretofore, they have a local hab
itat ton only, and will soon perish from
the earth entirely. He has thoroughly
examinedtheir breeding grounds in Minn
esota, and finds many localities where
large deposits# ef eggs were made, in
which no hoppers can be found A vary
favorable feature of the observation ana
inquiries made is that no locusts are heard
from in tha tar northwest, the region of
greatest danger tu this and other States.
From this,fact and other causes Prof.
Thoabas expressed it as his candid haliel
that the days of grasshopper invasions
such a have been witnessed are about
ended. ‘ 1
TIE WAR.
Our reports published this morning
show that the Russians have not yet
crossed the Danube, but have moved
further p stream, which means that
they have programed further south
off the northern or Roumanian side
ofthe river, for the Danube runs
Darly north for a distance of thirty
or forty miles from Bassova on the
Turkish side to Galatz on the Rou
manian side. The atrip of marshy
country (perhaps thirty miles wide!
between this section of the river and
the Black sea is the Dobrudsba. As
the Russians, by progressing on the
Rouma#io side to the neighborhood
of Itassova, may leave this portion of
the Dobrudsba In their rear, and
still be on the Roumanian side of the
Danube, the report that the Turks
are abandoning the Dobrudsha
above Bassova seems to be a
very reasonable one, for so
long as the river intervenes the occu
pation of this marshy section would
be o! no advantage to them either aa
a locality in which to make a stand
in force against the Russian advance
or for cutting the Russian line of
communications. The Turkish
strongholds and advantage grounds
for withstanding the Russian march
are Hilistrla, Rustcbuk, Shumla and
Varna, all south of Rassova, and so
located as to form a line of formida
ble defenoe from the Danube to the
Black Sea, We shall now, doubtless,
soon see whether the Russians in
tend to cross the Danube and attack
the Turkish line embracing these for
tifications, or whether they are only
making a feint so as to cempel the
Turks to keep the flower of their
army in Europe to watch and oppose
them.
But circumstances strengthen the
suspicion that this Russian movement
in Europe is only a feint to facilitate
conquests in Asia. The Russian force
In Asia proves to be more formidable
than accounts of preparations on that
side of the Black Sea had led us to
expect, and her troops over there are
not idle. They are pushing the Turku
energetically, and It would seem
successfully so far. If Persia sympa
thizes with Russia, us reported, the
Turks would appear to be in immi
nent danger of losing some of their
possessions in Asia Minor. This
would not be so apt fo encounter tho
opposition of European powers as an
extended invasion of European Tur
key. England might not like it, but
it la questionable whether England
alone would undertake to help
Turkoy against Russia In Asia.
Russia is noted for intrigues,
and might stir up a revolt of British
ludian provinces. She is stadlly ex
tending her march in Asia—ap
proaching constantly nearer to Brit
ish India—and apparently the time
is not very remote when these two
powers will join lines of conquest in
the East.
The extent of her preparations and
celerity of her movements prove that
Russia is In earnest, and that she has
gcJne to war to make a “rectification”
6f boundary lines, whether in Europe
or Asia, or both, time and complica
tions must show.
KKrONNB OF CAPT. LITTLE.
ii iiit 1'- ■'llTdll I "'..i C, 1 .• *
Editor Times A correspondent in
your issue of the 4th, did me
honor to suggest 'my name in coh
nection with the Constitutional Con
vention.
Highly appreciating tbe kind men
tion, I beg to say, that a Beat in the
Convention would probably not be
refused by any; nevertheless, I would
bo loath to enter Into a struggle for
an election, with those of my friends
who have been similarly named, to
bo decided by the preference of our
personal friends in the' district.
I see no reason, Mr. Editor, why
the selection of candidates for the
Convention in each district should
not bo made a Democratic measure,
to be decided by party usage. With'
a majority of 80,000 in the State, and
a majority in each Senatorial district
of the State save one, it is an unde
niable fact that the Democratic par
ty will be held responsible for the
action of a Convention which, if call
ed, will perhaps not contain a single
member of the Eepublioan party.
The differenoess in our own party as
to the necessity of the call, should in
no wise affect the delegates to the
Convention, if it should be called.
♦ This district is entitled to five dele
gates. If there be no nomination or
selection of candidates, there will
perhaps bo sfx or eight candidates
from Muscogee, and two or three to
each of the counties of Marion and
Chattahoochee. In the general
struggle, with tho numerical majori
ty iu Muscogee, IS it fair to presume
that a just and equitable division
among all the counties will bo made ?
I think not.
With very greut confidence in the
justice of the plan, I would suggest a
division of the number of delegates
among the three counties, to-wit;
Musoogee three, Chattahoochee
one, Marion one. And to the
end that this representation
be oarriedout, lot each county select
its candidate or candidates in its own
time and way, and tho flVo thus elect
ed become the ticket for tho support
of the party in the entire district.
Then, if the Convection should be
called, each oounty would have an
immediate representative. This
plan, I am quite sure, would be ac
ceptable to the Mher counties of the
district, besides freeing this impor
tant election froth the scenes and
struggle around the polls, only too
common at each of our recurring
elections. Very respectfully,
Wm. A. Little.

To tfie Editor of the Times: I do not
wish to reply to any argument of your
correspondent Harris. I only desire
to enter a solemn protest against his
palming himself off as a “farmer of
Harris county.” Obtaining goods un
der false pretenses isa misdemeanor;
obtaining a bearing under false pre
tenses Is-well certainly not the high
est of Christian virtues. What right
has this correspondent to speak for
the farmers of Harris couoty? Ho Is
not, and has not been (us I have) one
of them, His sentiments are not
their sentiments; and even if they
were, be has not the übility to pre
sent them in such a manner as not to
make them ashamed. If this corres
pondent knows the farmers of Har
ris county he must certainly enter
tain a comfortable opinion of himself
to feel justified in assuming to speak
as one of tbejn. As for this high
opinion, has it ever occurred to him
that in all probability ho enjoys a
monopoly of it ? Pardon me, Ido not
wish to be severe. I know the weak
ness .of human nature generally; and
I appreciate the conspicuous weak
ness of this coriespondent la particu
lar. I should not have said anything
at ail, but this oorrespodent, under va
rious aliases, lias written several
pieces upon this question. Some
times ho speaks as a lawyer, and
assumes to represent the bar, and
then as a Harris county farmer.
While in fact he is no farmer at all,
and, as can be abundantly proven,
no lawyer to hurt. I know nothing
of his residence—his temporal resi
dence ; but intellectually and spiritu
ally he resides, beyond all doubt, in
that intense Inane, succinctly de
scribed as "noodledom,” whose in
habitants present a uniformly strik
ing resemblance to forked radishes
with tops fantastically carved for
heads.
I know the farmers of Harris eouo
ty; and, though differiug with most
of them politically, aa I do, I have
respect for their virtue, intelligence,
and honesty. They are not In favor
of a Convention. They know well
enough that it is simply a part of the
programme of that class whose busi
ness in life seems to be to coin a liv
ing out of the sweat of the laborer.
What bairn have they done this cor
respondent that he should, by claim
ing to "be a representative one of
them, publish them to the world as
a parcel of sheep ? For, when he
looks only to the “pros and cons,”
and not to the real sense of anything,
is he not a confessed mutton, with
mental vision bounded by the hori
zon of the nose ? He has done the
farmers of Harris county a grave
wrong. It is said that “an honest
confession is good for the soul”; and,
os a work meet for repentance, I sug
gest that he come out immediately,
over his own signature, avowing his
authorship of the article in question.
I said In the begining that I did
not wish to reply to his argument.
Arument did I say? Save, the word.
I know nothing of who this corres
pondent la. But I have read that on
a certipn occasion tho N urembergers
attempted to construct a wooden
duck that “should reason as well as
A country parson.” Can it be that
the duok is in our midst? No, never!
The duck was an honest dnek, and
would not attempt to pass itself us a
Harris county farmer. I beg pardon
of the duck.

A few days ago mention was made
in this journal of anew species ot
cotton plant recently discovered in
Egypt, which promises to produce
remarkable results. We are able to
furnish some details in regard to the
advantages claimed for tne new cot
*MC*
u Its valne is in its remarkable pro
ductiveness. Eight acres of this pot
ton which was cultivated by the
English engineer on one of the Vi
ceroy's great sugar plantations, pro
duced twenty thousand pounds of
seed cotton. Thts gentleman says
that “on the best lunds of the Ameri
can ootton belt the yield would cer-i
tainly be not less than five times the
quantity grown from the ordinary
seed.”
He describess it as growing to the
height df ten feet, and having a
straight vertical main stem, with few
branches and sparsely leaved. Sev
enty bolls of larger size than an or
dinary cotton plant, is not a remark
able number tor a single branch to
bear. He planted the stalks from
which the results mentioned were
attained half a yard apart. The Sea
son whioh shits it best is a spring
damp and warm, with showers or ir
rigation, that the plant may receive
a good first growth. Then a sum
mer with bright, hot days, and nights
cooler, with moist evaporations and
heavy dews. The Egyptian autumn,
which is dry, permits the fullest time
tor the maturity and gathering the
crop.
Tne Vioeroy has used every pre
caution, to prevent the seeds being
exported, as he desires to retain so
valuable a plant exclusively in his
own dominion. Where the new
plant originated is not known. It is
thought to have first been brought
down the Nile from some of the cot
ton producing countries of Africa,
lying under the equator. The seed
is worth in Egypt fifty cents per
pound, and will not be sold at all for
exportation.
As the climate is very like that of
our cotton region between this city
and Vicksburg, we have no doubt it
would do quite as well here as
ou the Nile, and under the intelligent,
thorough culture of American
planters, would certainly produce re
sults at least equal to those attribu
ted to it in Egypt. An attempt
should be made to obtain sufficient
of this seed to give it a fair trial.
T%ebeßtway to accomplish this
would be through the American
State Department. Mr. Evarts
would no doubt instruct the Consul
Oeneralat'Alexandria, dr the Consul
at Cairo; to aid in the chatter. It is
certainly worth while tO trv it. The
Times will be pleased to aid in pre
senting this matter to the State De
partment, if any of our planters will

NEW YORK HPT.
Yfcfi Tlan Growls* Wow mm* Worse,
A New York letter says: In going
through the up-towu streets, we are
painfully struck at the frequency
with which “to let” appears on
houses and stores. Yet rents are
lower than they have been for years.
People who formerly occupied a
whole house, at from SI,BOO to $3,000
a year, now put up wltn a suite of
apartments at from $350 to S6OO.
Hundreds remove out of town. Tnis
annual exodus is very discouraging to
New York landlords, and to those In
terested in the growth of the city. It
drains off tho middle class, and es
pecially newly-married people, the
most desirable elements of our popu
lation. The city is fast falling into
two classes—the very rich, or those
who would he thought so, and the
very poor. The effect of this pfet
,ty steady depletion on the city in
many ways is serious and damaging,
especially on local politics, the pub
lic sentiment of the city, the support
of churches, and general social life.
Beggars and millionaires are poor
neighbors uud bad citizens, and
worse Christians. But one reason of
the hegira is that business la very
dull. It does not revive. Tho new
President does not make two bar
gains go where there was but one
before. The banks are givipg up
their circulation. Stocks are tum
bling. People who have money dare
not risk it fu new enterprises, and
put it in governmeht bouds at a
merely nominal rate of interest.
The imports for February ami March
are very small, and there are few
buyers In town. Eastern people do
not appreciate the immense damage
done to New York by tne immediate
transportation act of 1870. Goods
are now shipped direct from
Europe to Buffalo, Detroit,
Evansville, Chicago, and other
interior cities without breaking
bulk, and duties are paid
there instead of here. They are
ports of entry. Western merchants
can buy goods at these inland cities
as well as here.. Indeed, it is said
that either owing to the inexperi
ence of the appraisers or from the
want of proper efficiency, the duties
paid at these Western custom houses
are so much smaller than arc exact
ed here that our merchants can Im
port some articles cheaper through
these Internal custom houses than
at New York. The consequence is
that more than half of tho Western
jobbing trade of this city has been
cut off. Our merchants have
spacious warehouses and all the ma
chinery for an extensive business,
but the buyers do not come. They
pipe, but the dancers do not appear.
They advertise, but there is little
response. Ana as New Yorkers
are thoroughly convinced that ail
the restfof the country exists for their
epeolal profit, their disgust is as deep
as their disappointment. The bad
terminal facilities which make New
York a very costly place to do busi
ness in, tell powerfully against the
commercial prosperity of the city,
and prevent Its growth. It now be
gins to look as though enterprise
would be forced to run into manu
facturing channels, or the city must
be content to stand still for many
years to come. Certainly the out
look of the metropolis is not brilliant.
And the small cities are the most
desirable places in America to live in.
Navigation nil n Russian River.
The nsvagation of the Don is much
more difficult than that of the Volga. The
river is extremely shallow, and the sand
banks are continually shifting, so that
many times in the course of the day the
steamer rung aground Sometimes she Is
got oft by simply reversing the engines,
but not unfrequently she sticks so fast
that the engines have to he assisted. This
is effected in a curious way. The Cap
tain always gives a number of stalwart
Cossacks a free passage on condition that
they will give him the uss ; stanre he re
quires : and as soon as the ship sticks fast
lie orders them to jump ovei board with a
stout hawser and haul her oft! The task is
not a pleasant one, especially as the poor
fellows cannot afterward change
their clothes; but the order is always
obeyed with alactrity and without
grumbling. Cossacks, it would seem,
have no pergonal acquaintance with
colds knd rheumatism. In the most ap
proved manuals df geography the Don
figures as one of the principal European
livers; and its length and breadth give it
a right to be considered as such, but its
depth in many parts is ludicrously out of
proportion to its length and breadth. I
remember one day seeing the captain of a
large flat-bottomed steamer slacken speed,
to avoid running down a man on horse
back, who was attempting to cross his
bows in the middle of the stream. Anoth
er day a not less characteristic incident
happened. A Cossack passenger wish
ing to be set down at a place where there
were no means of lauding him, coolly
Jumped overboard, and walked ashore.
This simple method of disembarking can
not, of course, be recommended to those
who have no special local knowledge re
garding the exact position of sand banks
and deep pools— From\Russid, by 1>

Malt as a Fertilizer.
TUt application of salt ou land for
crops of grass and grain is a growing
practice in thjs country. Avery consid
erable demand for salt for this purpose
has been established in pur Southern
towns. Dirty salt, or that of an inferior
quality, is as efficient as any, and comes
cheaper. It is applied at the rate ot trom
one to three bushels per acre upon bar
ley, wheat and oils. One bushels of salt
is good for three or four bushels of grain.
The best results were formerly realized
when salt was sown on barley, the pro
duction being increased several bushels,
if sownrretty freely, say three or tour
bushels per acre, the benefits are visible
for several seasons.
The experiments of 8. M. Brown, sev
eral years ago, showed that the applica
tion of salt on winter wheat was obvious
ly advantageous. The effect seemed to be
seen in stiffening the straw, by which its
falling down and rusting, thus shrinking
the berry, was prevented. If the effect
upon spring wheat is what Mr. Fish rep
resents it to be. all Central and Western
New York can go into the production of
that variety and make it profitable.
For a long period salt has been used to
a large extent on the growing crops in
Great Britain. It has been there ascer
tained that sixteen bushels pfer acre will
kill all kinds of vegetation. Eight bush
els per acre may be safely applied. From
two to four bushels per acre would proba
ly ensure sufficiently favorable results in
this country. There can be no doubt that
tho farmers would obtain valuable re
turn from the use of salt upon the grain
crops. The price of the article is very
low at present, and likely to remain so
permanently,so that no objection to its
employment in the way suggested can be
urged.— Country Gentleman.
