property. They were (fuarantred l.t

the Coii.-titwioii of the United flutes.
Tiiey were, in fact, cpiriuily guaran
teed to me by h Kjiccial provision ol
the Constitution.
"How did I come by thc?e niggors ?
In 1818, when only tnreo year old,
my father Marled to Him country Ironi
the mountains of North Carolina.
On the way he fell out of tho Wfigou
and broke his neck. We moved on
to IH'Kalb couiity and squalled in
the wilderness. I urew up, and yon
may ssy, ul tho plowshandlc. I had
no money to get an cduca'iot', and
con lequently didn't get much educa
tion. Hut I worked at tlio plow and
bought me a pieco of land, and luiscd
corn on that land with my own hands.
Then I bought up a few hogs, foil 'em
tho corn, drove 'em South, sold 'cm
and bought a nigger, and brought
him home. I did that every year un
til 1 had about twenty, and was doing
Dnely. Now wern't thoso niggers
my property in all law and justice?
Hadn't I bought 'cm and paid for
'em? Wasn't they guaranteed lo me
by the laws of my country and the
Coastittition of tho United States?
"Well, the war come up, and 1
took sides with the Union, and raised
a leginieiit for the Federal service.
The way the tiling turned out I was
fighting all 1 lie lime to free my own
niggers, to strip myself of the hard
earnings ofalilctiine. .They pretend
ed that it was u m.lilury necessity to
free the elaves. It was no military
necessity, the North was full of men.
They freed the niggers because they
wanted to, and not because it wus a
necessity. Now, I say, by tlio Lord,
they must pay U3 for our niggers in
the South, or we
WON'T HEIP THEM PAY TUB BONDS.
Tliis is my platform in a nutshell.
Either tho North must pay us for our
niggers, or we'll go in for repudiating
the two thousand millions of war
debt that is banging over us. They
say that it was a necessity ato create
the debt and to free the niggers. Ad
mit it, if you please. If bo'h were
alike necessary, treat both alike, and
if we have to help pay the debt, then
you help us bear the loss of the nig
gers. Ain't that fair, just and hon
est between men and men, und secv
lion and sect'ou ? Why, just look at
it. During the war the Northern
people were paid big prices for everys
thing they furnished the army. They
put that monry in bonds, when gold
was two for one and upward. fOn
these bonds they have becu drawing,
interest in gold, aud claim that the
principil shall be puid in gold. I
say, if they arc not going to pay us
for our niggeis, that they have al
ready collected enough on the bonds
and I am opptsed to paying another
cent. My proposition to the Gov
ernment is this: Either i?sue two
thousand millions of dollars of bonds
lo pay us is the South for our nig
gers, or else we shall insist on repu
diating all the bonded indebtedness
that now exist. The peoplo of the
North can't lave all tho pay aad us
none. And that is oiug to be the,
great qoetion of the future Either
the war debt must be repudiated or
we must have piy for ou- lowcs.

What a Newspaper Does for
a Town.
Dr. Holland, in liia Topics of Iho
Times in Scribner's Magazine, sa 8 :
A bright untcrprisirtg, influential
paper in any town is cenlra'ising
power lo all those interests. The
press advertises the locality it ts
the center of its moral, political and
social influence, and does more, per
haps, than any agency to attract tho
organized industry of its near and
remote neighborhood. The city of
Springfield in Massachusetts, is per
liups as good an illustration ol the
power of ihe press lo centralize trade
and manufactures as any in the conns
try offers. We wonder whether ihe
residents of t':nt eity know how much
they owe to their papers for their
constantly increasing numbers asd
growing prosuority. For- twenty
five years Ihey have had a press
whose crtei prise, industry, mtelli
gence and iuflujneo aro supposed lo
hove been without a precedent or par
allel in the history of provincial news
papera through out tho world. We
think, indeed, that this is but a just
s'ateinent of the (acts; aul theru is
nothing in the location of the town
and its relation to the country to
justify the supposition that it would
have reached its p esent atatus
through other causes. The town is
is known throughout the whole coun
try by its press, and that has magni
fied its importance and iuQueace
everywhere. It lias done in one
sense more than eny thing else lo
make the town what it is ,no of the
brightest and most enterprising
towus in Now England. Ex.

to the hole land. But I do r'jo:cc
to Fee Ihe representatives of the pros
duetivn capacities of the land awuke
to the importance of making their
voices hoard in tho moulding of our
institutions.
"Patrons, tho work which organ
izition is capable of porlormiinr ia
begun. Our order has yet scarcely
casscd tlio formation stages, it is
not presumed lobe perfect ; it would
be wonderful if it wrre so. As our
warts expand wo will fully compre
hend the meaus by which they can be
supplied. If any defect in our or
giinizalion occurs lo members, or if
any improvement suggests itself, do
not rush in to the public prints ond
give your views to tho enemy, for
they are not tho ones most interest
ed ; neither havo they the power to
perform what you want ; but take it
into the Grange, and there with unit
ed counsol of brolhers and sisters
consider it, and put it in proper form
and instructive your representative
to carry out your representative to
carry out your views, i bus, by the
full quiet and fraternal investigation
of our wants, we will approach per-
fec'ion, and tho future of our Order
will be to its past as tho lull light of
day is lo tho strutraliug dawn."
Farming and Gardening are Es
sentially tub Same. This is tlu
ground taken by the great English
fa.mer, J. J. Mechi, and ho ePlrms of
what we are wont to consider highly
cultivated Old England, that is still
"not half Canned.'' "What wcnld we
say," bo ud'Js, "to our gf rdner who
allowud his flower pot, without nny
hole in Ihe bottom of it, t be hall
filled with dense uudisttirbed stiff clay,
and then 'o put in to the other hall a
lew inches deep of friable, manured
and cultivated earth?'' The 15.000,

tutnn-sown wheat, descend deeply
aud much Iw.yond the disturbed soil,
in search of nioisttue and food ; and
it is because ihis'subsoil is neither
ajrated or manured, that the wheat
"go off" in M. y. The twenty rods of
laborers' collage garden, deeply cul
tivated and highly manured by one
pig or 800 pounds ol tm at made tier
acre, is an example that may safe
ly followed on the largest filming
scale, provided, of course, that the
necessary capital can be found. lHa

What has already been accomplished,
and it is much, will appear to be tri
fling as compared with what may yet
bo done, The principle npot. which
tho Order is founded is one that com
mends itself for its non-liabilil to
bo abused or bo converted into a
means of oppression. If we under
stood it aright from tho'exposition of
its founders und supporters, tho Or
der aims, not to build up, but to de
stroy monopolies, and to so ramify its
benefits that they shall search into ail
depaitraents ol trade. Certainly it
has so far strictly conformed to this
object, ond do lotg as it continues lo
practice upon it in irood faith, theio
can ba no reason why the farmers
should not sustuin if, and tho very
best, and perhaps the only medium ot
securing that attention ond promoiing
that prosperity so dceirablo to their
vocation.
New Councils. L'teat rivqr coun

companies to see what arrangements
can be made to carry the cotton to

also to correspond with tha granges
of other slates, with a view to ex
changing products. Contracts enter

Don't Go to law. Every Patron
who calls his follow farmer "hroi her,"
must, before going to la-r, go to his
Grange and there try to settle arnica
bly w ith his brother. 01 all the va
rious classes of middlemen there is
none iu which there is found such a
snperabundanca as ia the profession
of law. Were the priciples of tho
Grange carried out by tbe community
generally, there would not.be lound
more than one lawyer where there
are 100. The saving to the people
in Fuch on event, would 1 almost be

We are informed that the sugar
cane in the viciniiy of Meridian,
though injured somewhat by the
drouth, will make a protty fair crop.
Rev. W. B. Ilines who was the
pioneer in cane growing iu this
vicinity, has several acres of very
fair cauc. Mr. J. T. Chalk has
five acres that, we are told, is equal
good. Those who have tiied cane,
says it pays more to the acre than
any farm crop.- Those who dusire to
try cane, should engage it now, and
there is great advantage in g tting it
near homo. Seed cane is very bulky
and the hauling often costs more than
the cane. Besides, in purchasing it
here, you know what you are get
ting, and that it is acclimated and
adapted to our soil. Messrs. Ilines
and Chalk will both be able to sup
ply catio to those who want it for
planting. To be sure of getting it,
engage it now. Meridian Star.
