AS to the U. D District Judgeshlp, we know anu &C
knowledge Mr.. Biggs to be every way fitted for that
Office If appointed, he will make a most excellent
Judge. The mercantile community of Wilmington,
without respect to party have argued thus however =
The larger portion of the business of the District Court
arises at this pointer proof of this fact appeal to the
records of the Court ITSELF Every merchant and law
YER familiar with the business of the Court knows that
much of arises in vacation and demands the mmedi-
ate interpositon of the Judge and it is believed that
this interposition could be most efficiently given
for the promotion of the ends of justice by a
Judge resident at the point where the business
chiefly arises. There is certainly nothing unreason-
able in all this nothing assumed without cause
assigned. Mr.. Holmes is most worthy and respected
gentleman resident of Wilmington fully competent to
discharge all the duties of the Office faithfully and WE'LL
and as such was recommended here without distinction
of party, and without thought of dsparagemen to the
character standing or claims of other gentlemen here or
elsewhere.
AS to the of the opposition press at Mr. Biggs
we have replied to them ourselves. 1t is way with
them, however elsewhere as well as in Wilmington.
We have noticed this matter at length, not
because of any weight attach to the queer effu
sion of the Dispatch but because of the opportunity
gives us to meet certain charges ndustrousy circulated
to the prejudice of this town. We only ask people
throughout the State to look at matters they and
they will find how unfounded is the outcry against VIII
mington.

plants in hotbed greenhouse, and grows them in

them three feet apart in When planted he drives
few stakes six eight feet apart leaving them about
four feet high the whole length of the rows and mailing
strip of wood all along the tops and tying one or two
lower down the stakes, to make trells. The ground
should be dug deep and made rich with manure, and
spoonful of guano mixed with the soil round each root
We quote When they have grown sufficiently long
to tie the trels select two three of the longest
shoots and tie them loosely to the tres cutting away
all other small lateras which may grow the main
branches. | let these main branches grow until they
have come in flower and set the first bunch of fruit
then pinch out the top, one joint above the fruit eav
ing the leaf entire then allow it to go on again until
it has Powered and set another bunch Of fruit when the
top pnched out leaf above the bunch the
the first and of all the rest taking to cut all
the ateras which may grow the main branches down
to the aXes of the leaves often as they produced
but leaving the leaves entire If any will take this
little extra trouble he will be amply repaid and absolute
y astonshed at the immense clusters Of fine large toma
toes he will have If planted in favorable situation,
they will rpen at least early those grown in any
other way out of DOORS and frequently three days
week earlier. When ripe they will hang longer the
vines without decaying. The situation hardly be
too sunny. Deep, light loamy soil suits them best"
