Legislation Ertrdordtnary.-On the 11th of
tion, instructng the Auditor of Public Ac-
counts, in his settlement with defaulting
officers, to remit all damages recovered against
them by judgments of the Courts, except only
so much as might be necessary TO pay the ex-
penses of collection. This would appear to
be offering IL large bonus for defalcations. But
the inducement held out by the General As
sembly to an officer to become Il defaulter,
does not stop at this. The same resolution
declares, that If such defaulting officer shall
pay the amount due from him into the Trea-
sury, by the lst day of April, he shall be al
lowed a commission of five per cent. The
peculiarty and injus tice of this resolution
may be readily seen by referring to the gene
raj law allowing Sheriffs commissions for col
lections. II he collec ted the April licenses, and
paid them into the Treasury within the time
prescribed by law, he was entitled, under the
general law, to receive commission of four
per cent. This resolution allows him five per
cent, and authorizes the payment without
interest. With such sage guardians OF the
public treasury, it may we'll be asked, how
long the public credit can be sustained, and
how long time will intervene before all the
officers of the State will become defaulters
Twelve months ago there were but eight coun-
ties in the State whose officers were free from
defalcations to the public treasury. If de-
faulters are to be rewarded, punctuahty must
become dishonorable; and it is not difiic ult to
see the end of our public credit. Can it be
possible, unders stand, that the Chair
man of the Finance Committee was the au-
| thor and ad vocate of this resolution,

Action OF MANUREs.-The mechaDi-
cal Of physical action of barn yard manure
upon the soil to which it is applied affords
a very pleasing and important subject of
study. 1t is one of those beautiful effects
produced by the simplest agent, but which
until fully understood, seems inexplicable
Thus we find that manure, under certain
circumstances, gives to sandy soils increas.
ed stability and consistency. On the 9TH
er hand, we find it rendering tenacious,
clayey soils more mellow and friable. But
these two opposite results are not produced
by manures in the same condition, or the
same state of decay. The farmer who dc.
sires to render sandy soil more firm,
would scarcely select as the agent, fresh,
strawy manure, for the simple reason that
the rigidity of the straw would produce re
suits the very opposite of those we sought.
Well rotted manure should be applied to
sandy soils for this purpose. The soil needs
compressing, and wel-rotted manure is a
very efficient agent for this purpose. On
stiff, tenacious soils, the strawy manure is
what is wanted. 1t renders them more
open and friable, admits the free passage
of rain and atmosphere, and in a variety
of ways promotes fertility and easier man.
agement These Thoughts arc not new
though they possess a high importance, and
ought to be understood by every farmer.

How TO GET EARLY TOMATOES
Mrs. Il. d. Kendall, thus writes to the
Southern Field and Jirsile.
A good large turnip is better than any
het bed for propogating ealy tomatoes.
Cut of the top and scoop out to shell
three quarters of an inch thick. Fill the
cavity with rich mold, plant half dozen
seeds, and place the turnip in box of
loan, keep in warm by an eat window,
if possible, and sprinkle with tepid water
every day until there is no longer any
danger from frost, then remove the turnip
to the outdoor bod, and thin out all but
one plant.
Should the turnip shell put on shoots
pinch them off, and the shell will soon rot,
afording fertilizer to the tomato plant
that will send it ahead wonderfully. A
dozen turnips thus tomatoszed will afford
an abundant supply of early tomatoes for
an ordinary family.

PEARS ON QUINcE.-Pears grated on
Ounce, require deep rich soil. Many fail.
ures have occurred, and much disappont.
ment has been occasoned by planting
dwarf pear trees, in the absence of prop
er knowledge as to the treatment they de-
mand.
Pear culture on this system is not for
those who plant tree as they do gate.
post, and who look upon the after treat.
ment of both in the same light, viz: leave
them until they decay, and then plant
another, grumbling all the while about the
absurdity of this mode of raising pears
When planting the trees, place some light
soil around the roots to give them a start.
Cover the whole of the Ounce root and
about an inch of the pear stem with soil
The ounce will throw out roots freely
from any portion of the covered surface,
if healthy therefore deep planting, so long
as the soil is in proper condition, is not in
this case injurious If the roots are stumpy
and destitute of fibres. cut several upward
slips on various parts of their surfaces, to
encourage the emission of roots.--Farmey
and Gardener.
