The 2e York Chronicle very
fairly speaks of the coming crop as
follows :
Too much prominence is, we
think, being given in many quarters
to the extent of land put under cot

whatever should be placed upon

unking any great Impression upon

The new Internal Revenue bill is
all right as far it goes. It reduces

than twice that amount, aud it is to
be hoped that it may be amended
accordingly. Nearly all the special
taxes are to be abolished. But it is
a matter of regret that the income warrantable
tax is to be retained, in deference
to public opiuiou it is to be shorn,
of some of Its more objectionable
leatures. The exemptions are iu-i
creased foom $1,000 to 81,500; the
publication of incomes is prohibit
ed, and some of the more inquisi
torial features are abolished. Bul

lieu of the present $5 tax. The in
crease of I lie exemption to $1,500,

ceipts about $5,500,000 a year.
The other features of the bill are
as follows : The taxes on legacies

yielded $2 500,000, is repealed.
The taxes on iusurauce companies,

of business are abolished, except

A Democratic contemporary,
published
within less than fifty
miles of this city has recently been
made responsible for an unwar
rantable Invasion of private life.
That the gentleman whom it has
thus outrsged happens to be a Re
publican, may or may not justify
that offence to the conscience of the
journal in question, but will cer
tainly not Justify it in the Judg
ment of the better class of men in
the Democratic party. The Sena
torial position of the person as
sailed so shamelessly, constitutes
no reason for such a crime as has
been committed by our contempo
rary against public decency ; but, on
the contrary .should constitute a spe
cial reason lor shielding him from
such an uusecmly attack. If the
newspaper assumes the right to
follow a political opponent luto his
private life, nay into bis very room
at bis boarding house, it will not
onlv destroy iu own Influence for
good, but actually degrade itself
into a public nuisance where abate
ment will be demanded by the
moral sense of the public.
Tho above is clipped from the
Jackson Pilot of last Thursday. The
editor of that journal asserts that a

Without intending any reflection

a fahthood. It is not in keeping

The urv uoods market ior me

as could be expected, particularly
with the jobbers, for aitnougn tne
market Is quite barren ot purcnas
ers for Spring stock, an average
amount in sales is kept up by re
ceipts of orders, from the many
hundreds of salesmen, with saw
pies who are now scouring the
country. Among the commission
houses a fair trade has been doue
with those who have any show ot
desirable goods for winter stocK
and adanted to the clothing trade :
but iu the cotton goods nouses busi

Ith lis to pretend not to know we
are referred to in the article under
onsidcrntion. It refers to au ar
ticle published in the IIebald last
Tuesday, entitled "Court Scandal''
which exposed certain transactions
charged upon Mr. J. C. Bhoupe,
member of the Senate from La
fayctto county. Last Wednesday
veiling, a letter was handed the
Editor of the IIebald by a mutual
lend from Mr. Shoupe. This let
ter was insulting, and was so de
clared by us. The bearer of the
tetter, however, said that it was not
so intended by Mr. Bhoupe, and
that he was authorized to declare
what Mr. Shoupe did mean. We
accepted this explanation, but re
fused to receive the letter until it
was changed so as to agree with
the explanation made by the gen
tleman bearing it, We could not
view it as an Intentional insult
since the gcutleman bearing It, who
was the responsible friend of Mr
Shoupe, declared that Mr. Shoupe
did not so intend It.
But it seems from the article
token, from the Pilot that .Mr.
Shoupe or some of bis friends did
look upon it as an effort to make
the editor of the IIebald "respon
sible for an unwarrantable invasion
of private life," and inflated with
the heroism which had prompted
the transmission of the communl
cation referred to, hastened to
trumpet to the world through the
Pilot. Such evidenees of uler
danger valor are always contempt
ible and ridiculous, and we would
sot notice the matter but that we
wish Mr. Shoupe to understand
that since he has published to the
world that he inteuds to kold us
responsible, we expeet him to do
it If he was sufficiently aggrieved
to induce him to have It published
that be had "held us responsible,
and since in point of fact he has
not, we claim that now it is Imper
atively his duty to do so, or win
for himself the unenviable reputa
tiou of a braggart.
We said that without intending
auy reflection upon the editor of
the Pilot, we pronounce the state
ment false. This explanation we
make, because, since the letter of
Mr. Shoupe to us was strictly pri
vate, the editor of the Pilot could
ouly have known of its existence
through Mr. Shoupe or his friends.
But we have this to say to the edi
tor of the Pilot.
When he agalu has occasion to
refer to us, let him observe some of
the usages of journalistic courtesy
lu the construction of his sentences,
We have endeavored to observe
this rule iu our discussions with

FOLIC 1.,
Tho Eadlcal party requires a
strong stimulous to keep it alive.
It Is an Bnhealtby growth, and
feeds alone on inflammation. Ia
the moments of cool, calm, reflec
tion which occasionally oome to
all, even the most partisan of the
honest members of this party
realize that it survives alone
through excitement It must have
some strong hobby upon which
to ride. Some great question must
be presented to tho people to pre
vent them from calmly thinking ;
the public must be kept in a state
of foment and disquiet, or else the
party dissolves and melts away.
The "cohesive power of public
plunder" reconciles and keeps
together in apparent harmony the
leaders of the party, but there
must be some tub thrown to the
great public whale to keep it from
drifting otf into other waters.
With a sagacity which commands
our admiration, the leaders of the
Radical party watch even' change
in their party, and make, with
promptitude, provision to encour
age or change it. They have
gauged the American people, and
knowing them to be an excitable
and impressible people much after
tho order of the French, have
adopted the system pursued by
Napoleon, who endeavors to keep
the minds of his people
so completely wrapt up iu first
one and then another excite
mcnt as will prevent them
from contemplating or devising
treason. The leaders of the Radl
cal party with finger upon the
public pulse regulates by diiierent
stlmulnnts, the degree of feverish
excitement necessary to absorb
the people already united with
that party, In its new schemes, and
thus prevent them from witnessing
and denouncing the corruption of
those who represent the party in
high places.
This party has ridden the free
horses "loyalty," "re1cllion,""trea
son," "fifteenth amendment," and
the "poor down trodden aud op
pressed man and brother," until
they have almost ceased to move
or have sufficient strength requisite
to sustain the great burdens under
which they have heretofore been
goadod into motion by the vigor
ous application ot whip and spur.
And hence the party must look for
some other measures.
Senator Hovels, in Philadelphia,
the other day, declared a part of
the programme, which le a war
upon the Episcopal Church, while
in Congress ou the 19th Inst, the
white leaden there very plainly
indicated that it was to be by a
general assault, all along the line
upon the Roman Catholic Church.
The fact that it is the design of
the Radical party to make a re
ligious war was evinced In Con
gress in the discussion which arose
on the amendment of Mr. Brooks,
of New York, to the Diplomatic
Appropriation bill, to include
Rome in the mission of miulsters
resident.
General Banks had just warm
ed up the House by injecting a
twenty minutes' speech into tho
general debate in favor of the an
nexation of San Domingo an
administration measure and the
bodv was quite ripe for the dis
cussion that followed. Mr. Brooks
In supporting his amendment, al
luded to the proscriptivo Intention
of the Radicals in omitting tho
mission to Rome, cited tho fact of
the commerce in the ails and sci
ences with which the ancient city
was interwoven, and intimated
that spiritual, not temporal, objec
tions were the basis of the omis
sion. Mr. Cox sustained this po
sition, nnd showed that in the
very next line of the bill it was
proposed to send a minister to
Turkey, a country of infidelity
and polygamy. Bingham, of Ohio,
then made a ten minutes' oration,
full of high sounding rhetoric,
in which he laid hare the whole
animus, declaring that the doc
trine promulgated in the Ecumen
ical Council at Rome fettered the
conscience of men, fettered relig
ious freedom, and fettered the
press. Mr. Voorhees was quick
to get the floor. And replied
with graceful but telling effect
on the rarity oi air. img-
hams'i Christian charity in inter
posing the tenets of religious be
lief against a great government
establishing a diplomatic relation.
It was of the lame kind of pre
scriptlon that had burned Catho
lic convents and hung witches in
Massachusetts. At this the whole
Massachusetts delegation bristled
ith auothiT burst of rhcturic ia
le fence of his Christian charity.
Order was restored, aud after a
w moments calm, one of the del
egation of Puritans as Mr. Cox
called the Massachusetts members
aot up, in the person ot Hoar
(brother of the Attorney :Getferal)
to defend his State from the witch
hanging and convent-burning
barges. To do this he charged
that the Democrats Incited tho
riots, hung negroes, and burned
colored orphan asylumns In Kew
York. No eooner had he said this
than the whole House was on its
feet. From the Democratic aide
there were a dozen members ad-
Iressing the chair, while the
whole Republican side.was yelling,
Order, order." The Democrats
rejoined by shouting across the
aisles, ''Sit down," "Sit down,"
"Sit down," "Down In front,"
4c., "Let the Committee rise,"
4c. "The gentleman's charge is
false, and he knows it to be false,"
thundered the, voice of Mr. Voor
hees, high above the din.
Thus it will be seen the Radicals
are now preparing a new sensation
for its members. Senator Revels
thinks it is to be a war upon the
Episcopal Church, but Bingham,
Honr, Dawes, Covode 4 Co. have
decided that it is to be a war upon
the Roman Catholic Church. In
other words it is to be a revival of
the Know Nothing party. This
particular and peculiar bias is
takeu to accommodate, as the
Radical party thinks, that portion
of its party which were originally
Old Line Whigs and who are
supposed to be strongly tinctured
with Know Nothing sentiment
And it is to prevent the slough
ing off of this element, this scheme
is originated. There is a slight
difference of opinion between the
white and black leaders of the
party as to the creed which ia to
be persecuted. Revels saya the
Episcopal. Bingham 4 Co. say
the Roman Catholic,, both Uiiite
and agree, however,; that it shall
be a war upon religionists. ,

Laloutu, a, sruaU; quantity, oi lut
seed of the lute plant with a view
to introducing its culture into the
extreme section of the - Union
South of the frost line. It lav be
ing distributed to planters in
Texas and Florida, who will give
it a fair trial. It is a fibrous
plant, resembling' coarse flax of
easy culture and rapid growth,,
with a comparatively large 'pro
duct The crop, when ripe, is cut'
down to the roots, and after being
steeped iu water Tor a week or so
the bark slips easy, and the silky
fibre is detached, cleaned, assort
ed, and packed in bales of 300
pounds each. Its annual product
in India is estimated at more than
300,000 tone. It is the material of
which gunny baga ' and cloth
and bagging for -cotton,- as well
as cheap cordage, mats and
carpets ore made. Iu great
use, however, is ., for bal
ing cotton. As it takes about
six yards te wrap a bale of cotton,
a crop of 3,000,000 bales would re
quire, of course, 18,000,000 yards
of bagging. The machinery for
making it in India is very rude;
in fact, no progress has been made
in it for centuries. But jute fac
tories of colossal size have been
erected in Great Britain, some of
which employ 200 hands and
work up 1000 bales per week into
barging, sacking, sheeting, car
pet ing, duck, etc. In France somo
10,000 tons of the raw material
arc consumed annually, and in our
Northern States its manufacture
is steadily increasing. Jute is
spun in machinery made on the
same principle as that made for
flax nnd hemp, but differing in sizo
and proportion. It is more easily
worked than either of these fibres,
which fact, connected with
the cheapness of the raw material,
accounts for tho rapid progress of
the jute manufacture in Great
Britain, compared with linen or
hemp. After being used up as
bagging, etc., it finds its way to the
paper mills for the manufacture of
coarse papers.
Plakt Millet. We frequently
receive letters from subscribers
making inquiries as to the best
forage crops to plant We are
glad to sec this manifestation of
anxiety on what we regard as a
very important branch of form
economy. It shows that to some
extent the seductions or cotton
planting have not caused people
to forget the claims of their stock,
and that their empty lofts and
shuck-pens admonish them that
it is well to rely on some other
sources of supply 'for food for
their- mules, horses and csttle,
than "Western bay."
W recommend our corresnon-
dcnU to plant Klxrally, drilled
corn and Egyptian Millet, on well
manured ana well prepared land.

The millet can be cut every
three or four wexka, but should
be worked immediately after cut
ting to give the plants a new start
Frequent objection is made that
feeding green food to stock pro- .
duces "scourinz." If the millet
or corn is cut and allowed to wilt
for twenty-four hours before it ia
given to. the animals and then
sprinkled with little salt,- it will
not produce any bad effect

Experience with a Willow
Hedge. Mr. Geo. M. Chase,
Freeborn, Minn., writes : "In the
spring of 18G8, 1 built a few roda
of willow fence, which has suc
ceeded so well, I think others
should try It First I dug ditch
18 inches deep, and l root wiue at
the bottom. Then I cut the wll
low into pieces, 5 feet long, taking
care not to wound them more than
was necessary. They were placed
in the ditch 4 inches apart, ana
nailed to a board 4 Inches from
the top, using clinch nails. The
soil was thrown back ana pressed
gently against each piece. Dig
ging a ditch to set tne rence in,uaa
two advantages : first it gives you
a chance to build a straight fence
out of material more or less crook
ed, and secondly it loosens the
soil, giving the roots a better
chance to start and furnish the
nourishment now ' so much need
ed.' It wae quite dry for nearly
three weeks after the fence wae
built but I saved the life of near
ly ever)' piece, by mulching with
coarse manure.- - auis iuiuvea m

Two days of the United States
Senate have been wasted in listen

Messrs. Morton and Drake; and
there reallj, Jsdanger that the
threadbare arguments which were
repeated and repeated on the Reconstruction-debates
are to be
gone over again under the pretext
