TURNING A PENNY.-The New York
Herald thus describes financial operation
by Republican member of Congress
from New England
1t may he deemed jest, but it is only
plain fact, that some members are so
anxious to turn an honest penny that
they will sell their seats on the floor. when
they happen to be we'll located, to other
members less fortunate in their selection.
but who have cash Herewith 10 better
themselves. A member from New Eng
land thus sold bis seat last session to a
New York member for 800; and this
session, being again fortunate in drawing
good seat, he sold it to another New
York member for $50. Some might ar.
que that a seat being, in its nature, more
permanent than a vote, the man who
would sell the former might also have a
price for the latter. l make no such
charge, however but would like to be
able to hope the member in question is a
solitary instance-his own model and e1.
emplar.

TRADE WITH AFRIcA.-If we would
open splendid field for commercial acti.
witty, we have but to direct our energies to
the development Of African commerce.
England is becoming thoroughly reused to
appropriate to herself the advantages Of an
extensive traffic in that direction. The
rewards Of her enterprise have already
been such as to impart stimulus to larger
investment and more extended exploration.
Already we have lost much vantage ground,
as the cost Of our strange indifference, but
the subject is now, undoubtedly, receiving
more attention. In commercial point Of
view, Independent Of its connection with
negro colonization and the slavery ques.
ton, it is invested with great and increas-
ing Importance. The agricultural re-
sources Of Africa are beyond computation,
and as they are gradually developed in a
region so eminen,ly adapted to the produc.
tion Of great variety of valuable staples,
and the arts Of civilization are extended,
commerce must inevitably expand. Not
less certain is it that emigration will fol-
low in the footsteps of commerce; and
from present indications. it is not difficult
to conceive that the western coast Of Africa
may yet become to the free blacks Of the
United States as attractive as California
has been to the whites.

CHINESE PorAro.-Discorea Batatas.
A circular from Princes Nurseries, L. L.,
describes, in glowing language, the excel.
lence Of this esculent, stating that it is
more nutricious than any other esculent
cultivated; that it is perfectly hardy; that
its produce is great-about 800 bushels
per acre in France-thai it is I" the great
est vegetable boon granted by God to
man," and that its introduction into our
country is moro important than cotton.
The circular states that the price Of 100
tubers is 320-immodestly and immoder-
ately high, we think. We have seen a
number Of paragraps by those who had
planted this esculent last season, not
single favorable one, we believe, the yield
in every instance being poor. In this re-
spect the testimony respecting il is quite
contrary to that relating to the Chinese
sugar cane.-Sci. American.
