Tho returns published to-day ensure
the success of the Radical State ticket by
a decided majority. They also indicate
a majority for the Radicals in the Legis
lature. The result Las occasioned no ?urpri.e to
very many of our readers. With the
conviction that the Administration at
"Wasliinzton had determined to sustain
the Military Commander in all his un
scrupulous measures to carry the election
ly violence, fraud and corruption, the
hojK! which they entertained at one time
that Mi.Hisipii would" lx spared the curse
of liadical Ptipremacy in her .State gov
ernment, pa-wd away. Reason, ju.-tice,
and truth could not prevail against the
expedients 'of prejudice, falsehood, and
corruption, backed by l.rute number:?, and
organized for the conflict by the bayonet.
These exjicdients have from time to time
been described in our columns, and are
referred to only as chapters in the history
of the times. There is no appeal for the
people at whose expense this wretched
farce of an election has been enacted.
They must abide the consequences what
ever they may 1k However there is one
gratifying reflection. The right of the
jicople to hold their elections henceforth
free from outside interference, is secured.
It is the last military election. The
stubborn resistance of the people have at
least wrung from their oppressors a con
stitution which will admit to the priv
ilege of suffrage the thousands of
citizens who were not permitted to
participate in the late election.
Hereafter every male citizen who is not
convicted of felony, is a voter, and our
opponents will go into tower on the pledge
that the disabilities imposed by the 14th
amendment, shall be promptly removed.
-s -i t 1 . 1. . 1 t . i f
hue we urn not credit ine gooa uutn or i
this pledge, it will afford us gratification
to be assured of its performance. More
over, there is pleasure in the knowledge
that we have at last touched ltottom ; ami
with the right of self-government once
more recognized, we have secured a stand
point from which we can in future suc
cessfully fight the battles of freedom. A
Radical State administration will unques
tionably prove a serious affliction, but
with the prosjKjetive advantages referred
to, it will be infinitely preferable to the
iniquities of the Ames administration,
from which, may Congress and the good
Lord speedily deliver us.
IV lint rl'
People are inquiring w hen the new Leg
islature will be assembled. The law of
April 10, 18(V.t, re-submitting the consti
tution to a vote of the people and direct
ing the election of officers provided for in
the said constitution, declares that the
Legislature, in case of ratification, shall
assemble on the fourth Tuesday after the
official promulgation of the result by the
District Commander.
It is therefore left discretionary with
that officer when the Legislature shall
be convened. As there will be no delay
in ascertaining the result of the election,
it is inferred that a proclamation will be
issued promptly as provided in the act of
Congress, and that the Legislature will
assemble early in January.
Doubtless its first act w ill be to ratify the
amendments to the Constitution of the
United States prescriled m the recon
struction acts as a condition of the resto
ration of civil government in the State :
and following the example of Virginia,
as prescribed by the Administration at
"Washington, U. S. Senators will proba
bly be elected in this preliminary stage.
In accordance with directions contain
ed in the act of March 23d, 1867, the
Constitution as ratified will be submitted
to Congress. If the instrument meets
the approval of that body; if it be in con
formity to the reconstruction laws, and if
Congress le satisfied that it has received
a majority of the votes cast in the elec
tion, the Mate will Ik? declared entitled to
representation.
The members elected to Congress will
take their seats, and the district comman
der will turn over the government of the
State to the newly elected officers. The
Legislature will re-assemble ; and the
machinery of the new administration will
be put fully in motion.
It is idle to speculate on what will fol
low. If we are to infer from the decla
rations of the leaders of the triumphaut
party, before the election, and especially
of its acknowledged head, Gen. Alcorn,
his administration will be based on a lib
eral and enlightened policy. But an en
tirely different conclusion would 1c form
ed from the diabolical spirit which con
trolled the convention that framed the
constitution, and the revolutionary acts
of the Radical party in the other recon
structed States.
Without indulging unsele lamenta
tion about what cannot le avoided, and
perplexing our minds in the vain endeav
or to lift the curtain of the future, let us
calmly abide eAcnts. Of some things the
readers of The Clarion are hoip fully
assured, viz: that we did not deceive
them when more than two years ago we
declared that negro suffrage in Missis
sippi was a fact beyond the reach of Su
preme Court decisions and that the re
organization of our State government
under the dictation of Congress as pre
scribed in the reconstruction act?, was inev
itable. The only question that really re
mained open, as we again and again pro
claimed with the fervor of honest convic
tion, pertained to the control under which
the new voters should fall, and whether
our State government should be reorgan
ized by friendly or unfriendly hands.
When correspondents send us commun
ications setting forth the unfair regula
tions of the military commander to influ
ence the elections in the interest of the
Radical party, we will cheerfully publish
them as matters of record. But since it
is evident that thousands of white people
did not avail themselves of the opportu
nity which was afforded them, it trill be
difficult to make it appear that the result
is wholly due to the unscrupulous conduct
of the District Commander, - -
" TUX XEGISLITCBE.
A majority of the Legislature,
from
the knowledge we have been enabled to
obtain of the members, will be largely
composed of the same malignant kripe
which constituted the mongrel Conven
tion of 168. Many of the same men
that devised that .scheme of proscription
and afterwards endeavored by fraud and
corruption to impose it on the , people,
Have leen returned to the
Legislature.
Prominent among
names of Gibbs, Chairman of the Com
mittee of Five, and spokesman-in-chitf of
the Committee of Sixteen ; Stringer,
(colored) the cunningest and most vin
dictive of all that class of ambitious ad
venturers who dissatisfied with what
nature has done fur them are seeking to
be revenged on the whites and have
sought Mississippi as a field of operation ;
Newsom, (colored) Caldwell, (colored)
Henry Mayson, (colored; Mygatt, Clarke,
Stites, (colored; Johnson, (colored)
Stewart, (colored) Morgan and Ballard.
To these name might be added others
which figured in the proceedings of the
mongrel Convention. They have been
recruited by large accessions from the
same class of malignant ; and are known
only to our people as identified with the
policy of hatred, strife and proscription.
The months (luring which they were in
Convention, are a bitter memory, and the
re-appearanee of their familiar names,
eanuot but revive the unpleasant scones
with which they are associated. Beaton
in their attempt to disfranchise large
numbers of the people of the State, thev
professed in the late canvass, to have
abandoned the policy of proscription anil
made liberal declarations of their inten
tion henceforth to promote peace and
substantially to advance the real interests
of the State. If this be their purpose,
there can le no motive in the mind of
any good citizen to interfere with it by
pre-judging their acts. With our backs
to the past, let us look to the future, ami
adopt a our standard of judgment, the
good maxim of judging 'the tree by its
fruit.
Classed as Radicals, because they were
the candidates of the w ing of Republicans
known as litter-l'.nlers, are quite a
number who judged by the ordinary
springs of human action cannot counten
ance the revolutionary measures that
have marked the career of the Radical
party in Arkansas, Tennessee and other
States in which it obtained temporary as
cendency. They are Mississippiaus by
Ions residence in the State. Thev have
shared the prosperity of her 2eopIe, and
have been with them in the days of ad
versity. Some of them, in letter times,
have been the recipients of favors from
the people they are now to represent in
her councils ; and it is not to be supposed
that thev will intentionallv add one feath
er's weight to the burthen of sorrows that
afflict them. It is needless to mention
names. Tiny are known to the public.
Some of them, probably all, gave as a
reason for their affiliation with the part'
which elected them, that its leaders had
pledged themselves to a conciliatory poli
cy, and that having the favor of the Ad
ministration, its success would be the
shortest cut to the readniission of the
State into the Union upon a just and lib
eral basis. Their election is the signing
of the obligation which binds them, if
they are patriots and men of honor, to
make it good. They have laid their
hands upon the mane of the ravening
w ild beast of Radicalism ; and w ill prove
themselves benefactors to a long suffering
people if they should have the will and
the power to hold him in check.
A Vorl lo 1 Hen lwl l ml .
ler. Ailcs suitl Oilier-.
A vast responsibility rests upon the
Mississippians who have taken office at
the hands of the Radical party, given it
their countenance, and asked sup
port on the ground that having the favor
of the government at Washington and the
dominant part' of the Union, the Radicals
if successful in the State could more ef
fectually advance liberal principles ami
put down proscription, than the Conser
vatives. These men have now a splendid
opportunity to make good their pledges ;
and shall have full credit for whatever
thev may accomplish in that wav. As
a cotemporary truly remarks a dominant
party has its duties as well as its rights of i
conquest to consider. Power and the
possession of sjwils, although they may
be the most attractive, are not the gravest
things which belong to party success. A
wise exercise of ower in the majority is
a public claim that cannot be disregarded
without damaging those who would heed
lessly set that claim aside ; and this is
something which the victorious party
must not forget.
Reftiuatiox Pr.orosED. The Radi
cal adventurers during the term of their
control in Tennessee, accumulated a debt
of ?44,410,0O0 of dollars; and the ques
tion is now seriously agitated in that State
what is to be done with it. The people
in the impoverished condition in which
they are left, are not able to pay the in
terest much less the principal. Under
these circumstances a writer in the Nash
ville Union and American proposes that
the people shall adopt the good old-fashioned
expedient to which our forefathers
resorted in reference to the revolutionary
debt, viz.: repudiation. The men of the
revolution made no effort to redeem the
obligations though incurred in the war of
independence. The argument in the
case of the Tenuesseeans is much
stronger. They hold that the carpet-baggers'
debt was not created by law ful au
thority, but by mere usurpers who ruled
over them by virtue of the bayonet,
against the protest of a majority of the
tax-payers of the State who were not ter
mitted to vote nor to have any voice what
ever in the legislation of the State.
Mr. J. B. Morgan, Chairman of the
Conservative Executive Committee of
DeSoto county, writes to the Avalanche
that in that county the negroes were in
structed by their leaders to vote for the
adoption of the Constitution with the dis
franchising clauses included.as the Radical
party did in the Virginia election. We
do not think the game , was generally
played, hyrever, and in the absence of in
formation to the contrary, have assumed
that the. disfraachjsinsjauses haveJbeen
voted out of the Constitution.: , r
Ia rpali-.
By a mysterious Providence it was put
into the minds of the Radical schemers
in Alabama to elect to the office of Gov-"
ernor a Houthern man who has adhered
to conservative doctrines and preserved
in his bosom a remembrance of the suf
ferings of his countrymen amid all the
temptations which have beset him. And
lne innut-neeof this steactlast Alaoamian,
them we find theWjov. Smith, is now the only breakwater
letween the Rab'cal Destructives and the
accomplishment of their diabolic designs
against the liberties and property of the
people of his State. During his term,
the Jacobins who elected him have used
every effort to induce him to- declare
Martial Law and to turn the people over
to the tender mercies of a raarau-ling
militia as in the case of Arkansas, but he
ha. a steadily icfused to comply with
their demand,
In vindication of his course, in his late
message Gov. Smith has uttered an
earnest protest against military supreiua
cv in time of peace, and vindicated the
right of the people to be protected against
sm h arbitrary usurpation. a.- tyrants re
sort to for the base purposes of plunder
and oppression. The tenor of his views
will be understood from the fallowing
extracts :
This is o time lor usurpations or the ex
ercise of arbitrary power. The time hon
ored bulwarks of civil liberty must be sa
credly observed, veil if, iutheirobservance.
there be exceptional cases of individual
hardship.
Hut apart from all these considerations,
tiiere i neither w ar nor rebellion in Alaba
ma. We are in that condition in w hich the
w hole framework of our institutions is one
of profound peace. It would be a palpable
assumption of unwarranted power on the
part ol the executive to attempt to ride by
military law. The laws oi war cannot be
applied to a state of peace without utterly
destroying all those constitutional safe
guards w hich it is the solemn and sworn
dutv of those in authority to preserve, and
without a faithful adherence to which there
can be no civil government worth' of a free
people.

'I'll- Income Ta.
It is gratifying that this oppressive tax
will expire in a brief time; and that the
country will be relieved from it entirely
unless it is renewed at the present session
of Congress. The sum of 41,0K),JiN)
was derived from it last year. As a co
temporary truly remarks it is the most
burdensome of all the taxes. It is bur
densome because it falls upon the mass of
clerks, mechanics, small retail dealers, ;
and otheis with small, fixed incomes, who
have a small revenue upou which the tax
falls. The rich millionaires do not feel
it: and if largely engaged in trade and
commerce, they have an opportunity, by
some Imctis-pocus trick of which they
largely avail themselves, to escape it al
together. Lawrence county has a white registered
majority, and yet gave a decided majority
for the Alcorn ticket, and elected a citizen
of African descent to the Legislature. A
correspondent from that county writes
that he did not go to the polls because he
had a "disgust" for Dent whom he re
garded as an "adventurer." But he
could not have so regarded young Hiram
Cassidy, a native MUsissippian, the worthy-
son of a noble sire, the Conservative
candidate for the Legislature. To speak
candidly to our correspondent, we are
profoundly disgusted with his "disgust.'
Thk Fkeepman's BfRE.vr. A Wash
ington telegram says that the work of this
institution is now almost wound up. It
has but one hospital under its control ami
that is in the District of Columbia. Its
officers are now devoting their attention
to education and the collection of bounty
money, due such colored soldiers as serv
ed in the army during the war. The to
tal cost of the Bureau has been a little
over three and a half million dollars.
The Alabama Legislature has passed
a bill which takes away a jKirt of the city
charter of Mobile, and constitutes the
Lieutenant iovernor, the Sjeakerof the
House of Representatives and the Attor
ney General (all Radicals) a Board of
Commissioners, with power to appoint a
Mayor and Aldermen who shall exercise
plenary, executive, legislative and muni
cipal authority. The change is effected
by a bill of ten sections.
It is said that the bill will be vetoed by
Governor Smith. An attempt to put it
into operation, should it lecome a Jaw,
will lead to serious consequences.
Regarding Gen. Walthall's castigation
of Sheridan, the Radical knight errant,
the Pilut is ferocious. It calls him "oc
Gen. Walthall." Aye, he is but one.
Nevertheless the Yallobu-ha Rads admit
that he is a host within himself.
The Census committee of the llou.-e of
Representatives has agreed to provide for
the next House of Representatives in its
census bill. The number of members
will be definitely fixed, probably at two
hundred and seventy-five.
Last Wednesday sealed the destiny of
Mis-Usippi. H e "have not yet learned the
result, but if Alcorn is elected, the consti

generation i concerned. VVe have great
fears tor the safety oi this country. Wino

Our cotemporary takes a more sombre
view of the situation than the facts war
rant. The proscriptive features have
been erased from the constitution. Un
der it, in future elections every male cit
izen above 21 years of age, who has not
been convicted of crime will be allowed
the privilege of voting, and Gen. Alcorn,
whose word is the law of the dominant
party, goes into power, pledged to a
sweeping removal of the disabilities im
posed by the 14th amendment.
Some of our cotenipqraries are down
on the negro for voting the Radical ticket.
Hold, good friends ! Settle first with the
whites for not voting for the Conservative
candidates.
After Gen. Walthall's terrible punish
ment of Sheridan, the Yallabusha Rads
tnrned against their own ticket. They
were like the fellow who having been
whipped at the muster, took his revenge
by unmercifully beating hia jack ass. ,

New Okullsa, Sov'. 29, ls6d.
Editor Clarion: I have just returned from
an extensive tripthrough the cotton regions
of Texas, Louisiana, Arkansas, and along
the bottoms of the Mississippi river, and can
assure you the cotton crop will be much
shorter than was fir.it estimated. I also met
an English merchant, direct from Liverpool,
whosavsthe India crop will not yield as
much by oue-tbird as last year. In view of
this, and the short stocks know n to be on
baud, we think planters ought to iorm a
ring in opposition to the present infamous
gold and cotton ring of the National Banks
and bond-holders. The National Banks
have locked up all their money, and are now
holdiug it for the use of this gold and cotton
ring and w hen, by this means they w ork
gold and cotton down to 20 cents, the money
is to be given out to this infamous ring, and
the profits accruing from the speculation in
cotton and cold, are to be divided. To de
feat this plan let the planters hold back their
cotton. If they will do so, in less than three
mouths they will realize 50c per pound.
Yours truly, A.
Our correspondent is undoubtedly cor
rect in his estimate of the falling off in
the cotton crop, and his suggestion is a
good one where it can le acted upon con
sistently with the obligations of planters,
though we doubt if any sort of combina
tion will enable them to realize as high
a figure as fifty cents per pound. Ed.

Oxford, December 1, 1CS.
Editor Clarion . We have progressed w ith
the election here under circumstances of
great excitement.
Tiie negroes have been pressed in early
under rain and wind. Very few white
voters were at the polls yesterday. The
precincts were so ar-anged that all were
between the two rivers, and we have, no
doubt, lost three or four hundred votes in
the county in consequence threof.
About noon to-day, the son of Mr. DauT
W. Jones, a citizen here, w as shot by one of
Sheriff Man's deputies.
He was standing out side, the door where
the election w as being held, and the door
was opened and one of the members of the
Board ot Police was coming out when a
young man said to him, go back. The door
was closed aud then wai opened by- one
Icorge Jones, deputy Sheriff, and a pistol
was protruded and rireiJ, hitting joung
Jones in the back of the head. He is now
barely aiive has hud no consciousness since
he fell. Thrre was no provocation, and the
shooting seemed to be voluntary. This is
what is said on the streets by some who
were present and witnessed it.
The Colonel commanding arrested the
Foliec Magistrate and the Deputy Sheriff
and put them in jail. Intense excitement
prevailed, but by the councils of several
gentlemen, quiet was restored and the polls
were again opened and voting resumed.
We cannot tell how the votes will count out
I think radicalism is played out here. The
neirroes will scarcely ever come to the
scratch at the bidding of scalawags again.
So much tor "foreign intervention" in our
afl'airs. Yours, truly,
Gt Wade Hampton'. The editor of
the Atlanta Constitution, writing from
Macon, speaks of the gallant General in
the following terms:
Gen. Hampton was then introduced to the
audience, and deafening cheers "reefed the
gallaut Southerner. A raw. cold wind blew
stiffly upon the people, anil hundreds of ele
gantly dressed and delicate ladies sat under
its chilling discomfort to hear the distin
guished Carolinian, a tribute to him to be
highly estimated.
Unfortunately the wind blew so sharply
that it w as impossible for all of the large
concourse to hear the speech.
It was our first sight of Gen. Hampton,
and we noted him well. His face bears the
unmistakable look of strong brains and high
breeding. Above the medium size, of wed
knitand symmetrical frame, w ith a beaming
decidely distinrnte, a noble head, ahigh broad
brow, most elegant manners, this courtly
Southerner shows the signet of a lofty man
hood. A Washington telegram states that on
the oUth, the Supreme Court heard a case
from Mississippi involving the constitu
tionality of the cotton tax.
Many people are so much in the habit
of having their work performed for them
by the "nigger," that they left him to do
their voting in the late election. We
w ish he had done it better.
By a vote of o'3 to 15, the Tennessee
House of Representatives, have refused
a charter to the "Mississippi Valley Im
portation Company" which was organized
to bring Chinese laborers into that State.
Referring to the pledge of the Mon
grel Legislature of South Carolina to give
the last dollar and the life of the last
man in the State whose government they
have usurped, to establish and maintain
the independence of Cuba, the Mobile

Artemus Ward in expressing a willing
ness to give up his wife's cousins for the
s ilvation of the Union.

EJit-jr Clarion : Your predictions in ref
erence t the Radical frauds at the elei ttoiiH
have been veriti-d lo the letter. At this
precinct the Beistraraand military oilloiala
htve been guilty of the grossest outrage.
The following are a few of the facts :
lt. Radical uegroe. under ago. and oth
ers have rfgWtcred, teithvut Iciu-j "vr, and
bve voted.
2nd. Radical negroes, residents of Hinds
county, under age, after having been re
fused their registration certiticakes in Hinds
have been registered hero and have voted.
3rd. Conservative negro voters have been
ejected from the ballot-box for refusing to
vote the Radical ticket.
4th. By command of Lieut. WhiUll. the
negro town Marshnl examined the tickets
in the hands of negro voter before they
were admitted to vote taking from the
Conservative negroes their ticket aud in
stituting Radical one.
6th. Tins same duties were erformed un
der the same authority by a little w hite son
of a b h named Wit haul.
0th. In one casi the registration tcrtiii
cate was actually taken fioin Conservative
negro, by an otlicial. and torn up In tbe
presence of the crowd. In thU case tin1
lioard refused to re register, billionth lliey
were made aware of the fact, and although
only a few minutes before they bad regis
tered a Radical voter v ho bad b.t hi cer
tificate. The above are a few of the f raud., and out
rages committed at this ini. All of the
statements cin be substantiated by compe
tent witnesses.
A Co.nsi nv ai iv r. V011.B.
The l--Iin-n In oulli 'it rolliiu.
A rcirt of the proceedings of the State
Labor Convention, field at t oluu.hia, S. C ,
has been received at the Freediner's lliireau.
from which it appears that the statement of
delegates from the sea-shore counties depict
a condition of affairs among the blacks bor
dering on starvation. The full i lug synop
sis of the verbal reKit of the delegate from
the La wrens District is a lair sample, of the
whole :
He declared that the itople In LN county
were merely existing, and unless something
is done they will die. lie had tried lo glw
hi.s family a liv ing by working on a third.
He had worked as lung as be could see in
the evening and begun again at sunrl-e. but
at Chrl.-tma he had nothing. He tried f 50
a year and tried to cents a day, ulw av w ith
the same result. If the Legislature doe not
help us we shall be driven dow n Into the
ground. The magistrates 1I0 not give jus
tice. When a colored man goes to the mag
istrate, no matter bow straight hi tale, be
is sure to come out behind. The magistrate
will not serve warrants. They send him
from one to another, mid brick again, uiid
keep him going, but be g ts 110 ju-tice.
Pretty soon they say, "Don't plague me no
more.' Then If juu keep on and say -tiie
me justice," you get knocked or linii dcrcd.
No use to go to the courts to get Justice, for
they w ill summon the white men s w ituesscs
and will not summon the w Itnesses of color
ed meu. If you go to the sheriff he say.
Go away; f got no uc for you LYpuMlcan
niggers," The white men will cheat the
colored laborer out of his whole summer's
wages, mid then, if the colored n un picks
up two ears of corn to feed bis children, he
is took up and put in jail for six inoiitl..
'l .el '- u.
In another mouth 1-70 will be upon us,
and its census promises to show great
changes in our population ami work 11 re
moval ot the seat of political (tower. In
the ten eventful yeurs, which w lil close w ilh
December 31, 109, the Fast ha been com
parative))' at a stand still, but the young,
igiiroii-. and gigantic W est ha moved w ith
rapid strides, aud to the South, have been
added, in the basis of representation, two
fifths of the negroes or sonic l.coo.noo In
all. and tach licr'.' iow counts one In the
portiiiiinrut. New Knglanil prominence
in the national councils will diminish, that
of the Middle States w III remain about the
same, but the West will gain much addi
tional Htrenglh, and the South will have a
slight accession. The number of represen
tative to which the States are entitled In
Congress is 211, ami this upon the Iim-N 01
one representative to every 127.MK) inhabi
tants. It Is now estimated that the census
of 170 will show a pt'pul.iiioii not much
short of forty millions of Inhabitants.
With the number ol representatives, there
fore, at 211. it will increase the ratio of
representation for ach representative from
1 27.01 M) to 101.000 inhabitants, and the pow
er will go with the 'Kipulation.

General Alcorn, the Radical candidate for
Governor in Missi-sippi, appealed,
day ago. to what be culls the fifty thous
and -poor w bite' voters who have' been so
dominated in the pat by a wealthy cln-. to
strike now for their iiidecndciicc" There
1 something here that we don't undcr-laud.
The registration in Mississippi show it to
tal colored vo'e of o.70l. and a totai whim
vote of 56.170. Taking from the latter num
ber the 50 uoo "poor w like" vote, would leave
precisely 0.170 11 the number of the weal

The colored vote and the -poor w hite" to

Chatawa, Miss, Nov. 29tli, l-o.
Editor Clarion: There is too much ut stake
to permit the recent tct of turning plow
at our Fair to pass unnoticed, and to let It
go before the plowmen of our country that
my favorite plow the Ifrinly wa bca'en
by the plow from Mi--ouri. I w lsh to be
distinctly understood I reflect on no one. I
will not be uudcrtood a charging any one
with error, further than that the only mean
of Jetting the farmer know w hit h is the best
plow, was not used. I meai a Dynamometer
was not used to test the power required to
draw the plow width ami depth of the
furrow (dice belug given. The farmer may
want a plow to turp a furrow and make a
nign riugc at certain time; and if lie com
prehend his bu-lnt.s be know this I done
at the expense of power. True, the expert
plowman can with eight furrowg make a
ridge,while another w ill make the name rid"e,
not so high, but old land brokeu out, w itli six
furrows, and thus the first plow get the
premium of be,t ridge ut an expense of 2."j
per cent more labor.
I requested my brother, Z. A. 1'. to put
ni Dynamometer in order and have the one
I imported Iroin London also ready, o there
should be no excuse. It wa done, and I
saw the first on the ground and I believe
where the plowing- began, and I begged it
should be ued ; I was called away to attend
Directors and could not attend the plow
trial. 1 begged also that the owi.er of
plows should give no directions and that the
judges should alone control the whole trial.
1 assert, and fear not the result, that the
reDOrt I Of no valii . . u t rrt ru w ..,... ..1
not bad lo the depth the ptow ran, and the
power required.
When i left the trial, I was convinced the
successful plow would not win, because the
earth was not turned, but was ct in a great
measure one foot from the proper poitton
of the furrow slice, clearly Indicating too
much speed, or too bluff a laould-board for
lightness of draft- ra ,or
.A?" 1n?bo;y',oa,4,. but go for country.
If Bnnly'a plow is not best, 1 go for the bett
and I care not from whence it comes.
