ii&Utf (j&tuptlm* OOLIJMBVI, €>A.t THURSDAY MARCH f», 1874, ftftvNO M IISI KII'TION RECEIVED t'XI.KKS PAID FOR IN ADVANCE. Oun exchange!* from ull parts of the South speak of activo farming operations, There in at present good reason for the hope that “stands" and a genial growing season will thin year be earlier obtained than for several late yoara. Tuk Standard thinks that not more than half of tho cotton crop of Talbot conuty, of last year, haa yet boon wold, and aaya that many farmers of tho county havn cotton in thoir keeping at least three or four years old. The true policy of auch farniera is to plant no ootton thin year, and thus help to get up a demand exceed ing the supply, by which meanH they may obtain tho price they are holding on for. And with plenty of breadHtufTa aud moat rained thia year, thoy can again make ton next year and hold on to it until an other year of abort crop and high price. The pasaugo by tho Legialatnroa of Cal ifornia and Towa of resolutions aaking that tho National Conatitution bo ao changed uh to have United Staten Hcna- tors olected by a diroct vote of tho people, haa htarlod a diHCUHHion on that aubjoetby the proMH. Among the few advocates* of tho change in the Toledo Made, which Hoys: “To remove the choico of .Sena tors* from the Legislatures to the pooplo would greatly help tho legialatiou of eve ry State. Legislators* would bo choaon more with reference to their til now for the work they ought to do, than with refer ence to their relations to individual ospi- rants or to National politics*. Thus wo would got rid of a groat deal of trickery and umnouvoring that ought to receive a timely check.” There is* Homo force iu tho ! Hade'a log ic. Rut it, derives its force only from the nbuaea of tho pronent modo of electing Senators. Really tho cohch are now ex ceptional in which fraud ntid corruption are not charged iu tho election of United Staton Senators*. The charges arc not of- tonjproven, it is true, but then such things, if done at all, would, of course, bo done on tho sly, and the corruptioniats would use every oonccivublo effort to cover up their tracks and prevent deception. Shall wo tell how rumor nays that Alabama leg- inlators lmve lately boon perauadtd lovoto for certain measures? Wo believe that wo won’t at present. A DINAFI'OIMNF.M. I he Merchants*’ Lxchange of the very ronpoetnblo city of Ronton sent n delega tion to Washington to provout tho con tinuation by tho Senuto of the rrenidont’s nomination of Simuious an the Collector of their port. They arrived in Washing ton on tho morning of tho !?7tb, and noon thereafter tolographod back to Boston that the result would “correct tho idea that a single member /Roller > runs a whole delegation and the Commonwealth of Massachusetts,” and would also dispel another error, “that tho sstno audacious party ruus the President.” Rut tho ro- siilt proved diroctly tbo reverse. Sim mons wus continued, aud Rutlur triumph od. And lator iu the snuio day tho com mittee tulegrnphed to Ronton : “Tho light horo is ovor ; tho tight, nt home is to como. Wo proposo to keep the Republi can party of Massachusetts where .John A. Andrew loft it.” Ho it apponrH that tho appointment of Simmons aud the triumph of Rutlor was not a harmonizing evont. Massachusetts is to bo stirred up ubout it. i>irn- by tho 20th flection of the Funding bill! Judge J. Q Smith, of the Circuit Court, saw tho conflict in tho Acts, and recog nized n, and sought to Teraove it by a de cision to the effect that the act of Decem ber, '7.*., uu* unconstitutional. Rut that do. ision was so manifestly erroneous, if Chief Justice Marshall understood what constituted bills of credit, that it was universally regarded ns untenable. This the Suprome Court tacitly confess; and yet they accomplish precisely the same object us was attained by Judge Smith’s decision—Mr destruction oj the financial system inaugurated 1<y the funding act— by a decision no loss extraordinary! They nsk us to lay ssido common souse and the plain import of language, and to bnliovo them when th* y say that “thoro is not the slihgtest conflict in the provi sions of the two acts ! In the light of the six palpable conflicts already pointed ont, we decline to stultify ourselves aud be- lievo any auch absurdity!" Now wc do not wish to bo understood us disputing tho conflicts which tho Jour nal points out. Wo said yostorduy that practically a very material conflict unavoidable. Rut we are not convinced that tho counties have not a constitutional right, which the Legislature cannot divest, to rotuin tho school money involved, and wo are not satisfied that tho State officers aud the Legislature would spend the noy as well as tho counties would spend it for schools. We apprehend that a solution of the difficulty will bo attempted by calling the Legislature together in extra session—and then what? Tho contingency is not u hopeful one for the plundered and out raged pooplo of Alabama to contcruplato. SKI- AI.AHANA'N FINANCIAL C’lII.TY. The late decision of tho Supremo Court, if adhered to without interference by Logislativo or Lxocutive action, will bo a good thing for tho public schools of Ala bama. Tho retention by tho counties of tho portion of tho public moneys for school purposes which tho Funding act sought to draw them (but which aot, the Supreme Court says, iH not inconsistent with their retention of it), will enable the schools to bo rati iu most of tho counties for about fivo months in the year. Rut then it will doprivo tho Treasury ol moneys which wore counted on to run tho othor departments of tlio State govern ment, and herein lies tho groat difficulty. Tho youth of tho State will bo helped to obtain an oduoation, but tho Stato offi cials and politicians will not bo flush, aud tho creditors of tho State, from present appearances, may whistle for thoir duos. Tho Montgomery Stale Journal “offi cial organ of Alabama”—is particularly worried about this decision. In its urn do of Tuesday, it mamfosted rebellion— suggested that the only course by which tho “confusion" could bo obviated was “for tho Auditor to refuse t > dr,»w his warrant, under tho Dili, 141lx, l.'»th and 20th sections of tho Funding act, and then see if any court will compel him to do what those sections forbid"; uml in a long aud labored article of Wednesday it berates tho Supremo Court with as much aorimouy and spleen as if it were a Demo cratic tribunal,and not tho sauio courtwhich lately sanctioned tho high-handed pro ceedings by which tho municipal officers elect of Mobilo were kept out of their positions, uml which has boon so ingeni ous in finding legal quibble** for shielding negro convicts from punishment, us here tofore noticed by us! We give a specimen brick which tho Journal throws at tho Supremo i’ourt— tho same Court which declared the Court house rubble tho legtl Legislature of Ala batua, aud Aithur Ringham its legally elected public printer. “Hero then are no less than six direct conflicts in the tiro act*, which it was ut terly impossible for the tax collectors. Au ditor or Treasurer, to reooiicilo in the dis charge of their sworn duty ; and yet the Supremo Court pretend they cannot ■«'< it! We think it would have been an in sult to their understandings to pretend ho in: or Tilt: caption*. Tho Atlanta Herald of Tuesday gives another installment, by captious, of tho acts passed by tho Legislature at its lato session aud approved by tho Governor. Tho whole number publishod so fur is l*»r*. Wo continue to copy the cuptions •if all acts of a general scope, aud those of a local character of interest to this section of tho Slate : To levy a tax for llie support of tho government for the year 1874, and to provide for tho collection of tho sauio, and for othor purposes therein men tioned.

To require judgment creditors in cer tain cases to have their judgments re corded in the county of the defendant's residence.

After reading them end putting ourselves, through lheir agency, in mental corre spondence with* lie world, they are throw n aside aud forgotten. Rut to suppose their tiset illness bounded by their news columns and the waste-bag is a thriftless mistake. In the iirst place, there are tho house hold recipes, to be found in stray corners, ofteu excellent, and deserving a refuge ou tho fly leaf of tho family cook-book. Thou come the pretty verses, the strange and droll stories, tho brief biographies and reminiscences, which, pasted in a scrap-book, arc a source of never-ending ploasme, not only to those who do not care for richer intellectual food, but to thoso who have only odd minutes for reading. Notwithstanding the squibs jocular journalists have penned ou the use of newspapers for bed-clotbiug, wo know from experience that these are not to bo despised. They may not be as comfort- ablo uh your blankets, but certainly they keep out the cold. Two thicknesses of pnpors uro bettor than a pair of blankets, uud iu the caso of persons who dislike the weight of many bed-clothcH, they uro in valuable. A spread made of a doublo layer of papers betwoon a covering of oulico or chintz is desirable in every household. The papers should bo tacked together with thread, and also basted to the covering to keep thorn from slipping. An objection has been made on account of tho rustling, but if soft papers bo chosen tho noise will not bo annoying, especially should the spread bo laid be tween a blanket and tbo counterpane. As a protection to plants against cold, both in ntid out of doors, nothing is bet tor. If newspapors are pinned up ovor night at a window between pots ami gluss, the flowers will not only not bo frozen, but will not even get cbillod, as thoy are so liable to be at this season. In the same way, if taken to cover garden beds, on tho frosty nights of early autumn, thoy will allow the plants to remain safely outdoors sonio tlmo later than is common. One of the oddest services to put our journals to is tho keeping of ico iu sum mer. An ingenious hoiiHokoopor recently discovered that her dnily lump of ice would last nearly twice as long when wrapped in newspapers, and placed in any kind of roverod box. as when trusted solely to a refrigerator. This is very con venient, siuoe it is possible to liavo the best and ehoapost refrigerator constantly ut hand. To polish all kinds of gluss aftor wash ing, except tablo glass, no cloth or flan nel is half so good as a newspaper ; and for a baker's dozen of other uses, quite foreign to its primnl purpose, it is with out a rival.—“/Ionic and Society,” Scrib ner'a for March, A l*cn I'ortrulf of IHamcli. j This great conservative loader, in whoso hands h.avo boon reposed nil the material !

His walk is more like that of a dancing master than of a gen uine John Bull, lhs toes evidently doing much inoro work than his heels. A hearty, joyous laugh from him would impossible; but frequently thoro is a very sardonic smile upon tho face of this muster of irony. Whatever may bo his ro- ligious views—and thoy appoar by some of hiH novels to bo a singular mixture of Christianity and Judaism—he is the first of the Hebrew race who 1ms attained the proud position of Premier of England, and ho is equally proud of tho favorod pooplo from whom ho traces a distinguish ed lineage.

Cast Ikon versus Stkei. Guns.—Ex periments rooeutly made in Belgium to test the rolativo strength of Krupp stool guns and gnus of cast iron strengthened with rings, would seem to demonstrate tho immotiRo superiority of the latter. Tho steel gun used iu thoso experiments had cost 102,000 francs, and would eost at present prices 124,000, while tho cost of tho east iron gun strengthened with riugs was 17,000 francs, or only about ouo-soventh tho price of tho Krupp gun. Tho cast iron gnu, r.fur tiring r».V2 roiiuds, was considered to bo almost in as good condition hr before a shot had been tired, while tho stool gun, after 150 shots, was not a littlo injured. Tho conunisdoners reported tho following injuries: 1. An oulnrgcmnnt of tho boro, a serious mat- tor. 2. Deep scratches along tho bore, and this notwithstanding tint during tho experiments tho workman of Ilerr Krupp were from time to time engaged in cer tain repairs of tho gun. The two guns tested wore of tho same calibre, and their ritliug precisely similar, the weight of tho projectile being 275 poll mis and the ini tial velocity in both was about 1,5100 feet per second. It is further stated that in Franco, Italy, Sweden, Holland and Den mark, whore niliubsis of experiments liavo boon made with ringed cast iron cannon of 0 and 11 inchos diameter, with- i out onco having bnist, thoso guns have been adopted for the navy and for the const defences. — Disturbances iu Japan liavo reached such a point that the city of Nagasaki is beleaguered by the rebels.
