Senator Ferry's Successor. Ex-
Gov. English has been appointed by
Gov. Ingersoll, of Connecticut, to
fill the unexplred term of the de
ceased Senator Ferry. This is a
good selection, and will give gener
al satisfaction. Ex-Gov. English is a
true Democrat, and a man of ability
and broad views, and his appoint
ment will doubtless be concurred in
by the Legllature, and the action of
the Governor in his selection confirm
ed. If so, he will hold the office un
til March, 1879.

Thirty counties in Tennessee have
47,574 men and 70,780 dogs! The peo

Giles county returns 7,200 dogs.
Last year these worthless and de
structive ours killed in the county of
Giles 1,750 sheep. In Cheatham coun
ty there are 780 men and 1,999 dogs--
three dogs to one man, and the con
stant complaint in that county is,
“there is no money in the country.”
No law is more imperatively need
ed in Georgia, than one that will im
pose a tax on dogs. Fix a tax of five
dollars per head on doge, and we will
have large sheep farms in a tew years.
The shepherd and the shepherd dog
will add vastly to the annual revenues
of Georgia land owners.

Courage in our adversity is wbnt we

plaoe our lands will inevitably rise
in value, and to-day good lands in
Georgia offer the finest investment to
the capitalist. If by specie resump

laws.
Senator Ferry.— The Cincinnati

of Michigan ,>Hopubl lean although he
is, has sound views on the finance

to a recent interview, of the substitu
tion of greenbacks for National Hank
notes. He world inorenso the circu
lating medium to tifWO.i* >O,OOO, and!
let the oountry grow up to specie. If
Mr. Ferry will |carry out these views
he will have the support of the great
majority of the people, irrespective
of party.”
The New York Sun says:
We have no idea that anv bill
loaning the ■ credit of the United
States tn the Texas Pacific, or any
other eorj>oration. will pass at. the
ooming session. The dav for that
sort of business is i>ast. instead of
granting new subsidies to till the
tickets of private speculators, the
majority of rhe House will be dis
txised to inquire into nnd expose
thoroughly tne shameful corruptions
and swindles whicli previous legisla
tion of this kind was intended to
cover. .
The virtuous North has' become
spasmodically honest, pure, and
strict constructionists of the Consti
tution since it is proposed to* grant
Government aid to develop South
ern enterprises. Hut how is it going
to smooth over the manifestly ruffled
“constitution,” when it reflects that
the General Government has granted
aid to the North to tire extent of
$175,000,000, while the South has only
received $10,000,000? We don't favor
the money subsidy asked for by Tom
Scott because another corporation
agrees to build the road with the
land subsidy alone. But. the Gov
ernment should aid the Great Wes
tern Canal, tiro Mississippi levees
should be protected by Government
aid, and the South receive its just
3hare. The ery for retrenchment ill
becomes the organs of the Bondhol
ders who demand specie resumption

MfTTKII IIIOM Tin: MOUTH.
Coi.gllßUH, Oa,, Nov. 8, 1875.
Jvear Jouriml: My last letter was
dffcriptivegily. In this I hope to
, paint out tO'Ycur many readers the
j situation of the jiecple here, and par-!
i tioularly those engaged iu agrfcul-.
i tural pursuits.
I tlnij the great seOret of their noc
suecess, as farmers, edits Is ts in two
buds: First, they are possessed at
too much land, consequently much
of this land Is non-productive; second
ly, their persistence In raising cotton
only.
As land owners you may think
they are wealthy, when I inform you i
that one thousand acres Is a small
farm, comparatively speaking, for
many possess three, live, seven and
often ten thousand acres. As u na
tural consequence, in their' present
condition, but little of this is in act
ual use. While this Is the fact, it is
also true that, their taxes on the
whole have to he paid, and at the end
of the season, notwithstanding their
rigid economy, they are in debt.
How to remedy this evil is the ques
tion with which we propose to deal,
and at the"same time point blit to our
friends North, they cannot only ben
efit themselves, {but relieve their
friends In the South.
And to get tills idea properly before
the people of the North, I will say
that la muny eases these large land
holders arc willing to sell for a nom
inal sum, and in some cases give al
ternate sections to those who would i
settle on t heir lands. You will read
ily see by this liberal policy wherein :
they, as’ well as those who cornel
amongst them, arc mutually bene- j
fitted.
It is uwell known fact that funning !
in Western New York does not pay H |
jier cent, on the amount invested. I j
speak now of farms that are devoted
to legitimate agriculture only. There
are exceptions, and these exceptions
are found only where the farmer cul
tivates fruit. This, too, is not ulwuys
certain ; so that, on an average, f> per
cent, is more than an average Income
for the amount invested.
Now let us take a Southern view of |
this subject. Here you invest iu a
farm, say of two hundred acres, at
*ls per acre, which will lie *3,000 prin
cipal. Add to that for Incidentals ;
*I,OOO. Here you have, all told, four i
thousand dollars invested iu an im
proved farm of two hundred acres.
You stock uud furnish it with all
improved agricultural implements.
Now you ask, what shall wo raise
on this farm if cotton don’t pay?
Well we will tell you. Corn is worth
—I quote from the Columbus papers
wholesale prices— “yellow corn *1.07,
white *1.10.” But, you ask, how
man' - bushels do they raiso to tho •
acre? We answet, an average of 20.
Well, if tliis is so, why do not I
farmers raise corn instead of cotton? i
We eau only account for this by re
marking that habit has much to do
with this; besides the class of labor!
here was educated in the cotton field
—hence habit with them ©iterates j
just as it docs on the owner of the-;
land. But in this letter I make no :
reference to this class of laborers. I
atn addressing men who work their
own land with their own hands, and
who work intelligently.
As to the markets, oats arc selling
for 85 to 90 cents per bushel; wheat,
is not quoted, from the fact, that
farmers only raise enough for their
own use. Just here we would rCmark
that if farmers would pay more at
tention to the production of small
grain and grapes, their yearly ac
count would stand much better tlmn
they do under the cotton yoke. Not
only this, by rotation In cram they
would be improving, rather than im
poverishing, their land.
It. remains for the Northern farmer '
to set tho example as to the mode of
culture that will pay. In this remark
we do not wish to be understood as
intimating that the Southern farmer
has not tho intelligence to see or
practice this tnodo of farming. My
observation leads me to a diliorent
conclusion, for in my intercourse
with tho people of the South I find
the farmer well informed, welleduoar
ted and refined ; at the same time wc
find, him iu love with his snow-white
fields and the pursuits of his ances
tors, and slow to accept any change—
the (in my opinion) banc of his ex
istence.
I have stated that the average yield
of corn is twenty bushels to the acre.
Now remember' that the laud on
which this corn is raised has; been
impoverished by a succession of cot
ton crops—perhaps Tor half a century
or more. What, would lie the con
dition of the Northern farms.under
similar treatment? Why, could vou
not sprout a black eyed pea? Yet
this laud produces 25 bushels of corn
to the acre. The few fields that are
properly cultivated, produce 65 nnd
as higli as 75 bushels per acre. Where
wheat is sown, thirty bushels is con
sidered a fair yield. Vegetables of
all kinds grow in abundance and
most luxurious.
Again, farmers are in debt -in fact,
never have been out of debt since the
war. They must borrow, and no ni|in
or bank will lose money on mort
gages, for land has no price; but cot
ton commands the cash, and banks
will loan money to all wtro raise that
staple. A man says. “I want one
thousand dollars: ' 1 am planting
twenty acres'of cotton ; I expect so
many bales.” “Sir, you can have it.”
This is another reason for \Vearing
the cotton yoke.
I trust I jiavc been just in my re
marks. to ttie Southern people as well
as' to those of the North who contem
plate migrating to this delightful cli
mate, where, if men would use the
Xre industry and eoouoray that force
ircumstauees compel them to use
iin their Northern homes, fortunes
‘could he made with much lees labor.

exchange refreshingly says:

the Kan Domingo job. He wns the
