Judge Enoch Mccarty again tried the
experiment Of raising Irish potatoes, last
summer, but with Hess success than tho
year previous. lilo attributes the failure
TO tho fact thatho planted later than tho
year before. The ground was already dry,
and there was not rain, after planting
them, sufficient to wet the ground, through
the straw. He had. however. as good po-
tatoes, and as many Of them, from those
covered by straw, as from those planted In
tho ordinary way. The Judge believes
that the best quality Of potatoes, and tho
largest quantity. can DO raised by dropping
potatoes about eighteen inches apart, on
clover sod. without blowing. and covering
them about foot deep in straw. The
straw that is tramplcd under foot around
straw stacks, IL not too much mixed with
mud, will answer every purpose. Hc says
no would plant them early-as early as
the frost Is cut Of the ground. VIII not
every tsr,mer-wo do not mean every
scratcher Of the soil--we mean by FARMER
a man who wants to work intelligently,
and learn how to work TO advantage
viii not every farmer try how he can
succeed in raising potatoes after tho plan
tried by Judge McCarty?

The Cnsc Of James sum m ous.

This case, which has been pending for
some time in the Supreme Court was dis
posed Of on Saturday, at Columbus, af.
arming the action Of the Hamilton Coun-
ty Court. The exceptions were to the adj
mission Of the records Of the Court on the
second trial, with reference To the testi-
mony OF witness who died soon after the
first trial took place. Summons will now
receive the sentence Of death, and will be
executed in this county, should tho Gov
ernor not interfere. Speculations on this
latter points now quite active, and II is
the general impression that tho sentence
will DO COMMITTED TO imprisonment for
life, on the ground that so much time has
passed since his conviction that public
opinion does not now demand the execu-
ton Of the extreme penalty Of the law.
The act, however, Of which he was found
guilty was most diabolical one, and this
fact will doubtless exercise strong in-
flucncc against tho convict Friday, the
18th Of April Is fixed for the execution u
the prisoner. Summons has been In jail
from July, ls49, period Of eight years.
The decision Just rendered makes tho sixth
time this case has been before the legal tri.
bunals Of the State; -four times before Q
jury, and twice on appeal in Columbus.

A special messenger left Washington on
Wednesday last for Whcatland, bearing
strong recommendation to Mr.. Buchanan,
signed by all the Democratic Senators cx-
cept six, for Robert J. Walker as Secrc-
tary Of State.
Bright and Sldel are among the six
Senators who refused to sign this recon-

Howell Cobb, Of Georgia.
II Is understood that Bright has with
drawn from the field as cabinet candidate.
He has now scheme by which to secure
the Scnatorship. 1t Is this:-
On tho rejection Of Bright and Fitch at
tho close Of the present congressional sea-
sion, the vacancy from Indiana will be
filled by appointment by Gov. Willard
AS the Indiana Legislature meets only
bennially, this will in reality be an APP
pointment for two years. Bright and Fitch
will Of course DO appointed.
In the discussions in Congress on
Wednesday, there was an attempt to ere.
ate an impression that no election Of Pres.
ident has been consummated, because the
joint meeting of the two houses failed To
decide whether tho Wisconsin vote could
be counted. This, however, is triaine
about a mere bubble, but thu feeling Il
such even now that il the election depend

ant results. Provisions should DO made
by legislation for future difficulties Of this

But tho French liberty was short lived,
and so was her portrait on our cent The
