Rs2y" We clip from an exchange, saws the
Jackson News, the following extract from a
speech of Hon. W. A. Richardson, of Illinois.
1t is quiet rebuke to the Clarion and other
editors in Mississippi, who are so ready to
bestow upon the freedmen rights that were
never granted to the free negro. 1t will be
seen that Mr.. Richardson is opposed 10 the
negro testifyiag against tie ,chite man:
"a majority of the republican party are
for negro equality, for negro voting. That
is now the Issue to be prevented; upon that
issue We shall cooperate with n majority of
the soldiers, and large portion of the repub.
leans. The republicans are divided to some
extent rpon this. We lose Ben. Wood, of
New York, and it may be n few others of the
same sort. The rest Of the democrats are
united against negro voting. We are oppos-
ed to their voting because we do not think
liberty or government itself, safe in their
hands. The great fact stands ont broad,
distinct and uudenablc, that from the foun.
daiion Of the world, the negro race have new
rr established single civil government, nor
of themselves, attained civilization. The ne.
gro race have nowhere been admitted to par.

GREAT BRITAIN, FRANCE AND
PRUSSIA.

Earl Russell and Mr.. Drouyn de L'huys the
hlng Of Prussia, the strong disapprobaton
entertained by Great Britain and France of
the course pursued by his Majesty, in con-
Junction with Austria, toward Denmark.
The conduct of the two German powers has
been so directly opposed to law and justice,
that, Notwithstanding all the decorum and
moderation which generally prevail in Eu-
ropean state papers it is actually character
lzed IN the official dispatches on the subject
as an unJustiiabe deed of brute force, "to
which, as the French Minister expresses it,
'ihe Europe to day has become uuaccus
toned, and precedents for it must be sought
for in the darkest ages of history Violence
aud conquest pervert the notion of right and
the conscience of nations. Substituted for
the principles of which govern the life of
modern society, they are an element of trou.
bic and dissolution, and can only overthrow
the past without soidly building VI anything
new"
This is significant language. That of the
S'iS' S'ptbCI 10 NOT less StTOnp. Accord
ing to the customary meaning of diplomatic
phrases, it is equivalent to menace of
war.
For the purpose, no doubt, Of expressing
MS contempt for these comments of France
aud Great Britain, the of king Prussia issued
on September 18th, a royal proclamation, in
which he formally assumes the little of Duke
Of Lauenburg, Count Arnm being appointed
to take possession of the ducLe in the name
Of the new sovereign. A still more offensive
act of defiance on the part of the Prussan
monarch is his comforting, two days after
ward the rank of count upon his prime minis
ter, Blsmark, thus publicly rewardinr The
most notorious abettor OF the schemes which
nave reused the indignation of France and
England The probabilities of war with Prus-
sh have been very much increased by these
lntoward attitudes of the respective pow-
aTS.

IMPORTANT TO THE LEGAL PROFESSION

IMPORTANT TO THE LEGAL PROFESSION.
The National Inteligencer, OF the 81 in.
slant says: "Francis L. Smith, Esq. Of
the Alexandria bar. having been pardon
ed. argued in the United States Court on
Tuesday last that the pardon exoneraled
him from taking any test oath as quail
iication for practice, and that the op-
posile view would make the statute of
Congress er post tdcto, and therefore un
constitutional" Mr. Chandler, U. S.
District Attorney, replied The Court
decided that the act of Congress was
mandatory, and though it was impossible
for Mr.. Smith to take the oath, the court
had not the power to dispense with Tie
requirement" II will be remembered
that Judge Prigg, Of the U. S. Court of
Tennessee. decided the other way. It is
a question of great importance to the bar
of the South, lew of whom could take
the prescribed oath.

PARTIES just from Washington assure us
that leading members of the more extreme

unqualified negro suffrage, they will offer to
admit the Southern representatives, to their
seats in congress, and to pass law loaninC

cultural purposes, il the Southern States will
adopt laws giving the right Of suffrage to all

SEED BED FOR WHEAT.

The Importance to the farmer of under
standing the habits and peculiar character
lstlcs OF the plants he cullvates, as we'll
as the nature and quality of his soil, is
frequently ILLUSTRATED. Let us take the
wheat plant for instance, and we find, by
almost common consent, it is best provided
for IN shallow seed-bed. Very deep plow-
ing is thought to be not only unnecessary,
but absolutely injurious. The young plant
seems to need firm understratum not far
from the surface, to imbed their roots in,
and with this advantage they withstand
the throwing out" produced by alternate
thaWlng and freezings, better than when
the soil has been recently stirred to very
considerable depth.
No one at this time of day can overlook
or be ignorant of the great advantages to
the soil generally by deep blowing.
lst. 1t opens much larger amount of
soil to the range of roots giving much more
liberal pasturage than they could otherwise
get #a
I'd. 1t increases very largely the supply
ofnutriment by allowing the access of air,
and by the process of weathering, acting
upon the mineral elements of the soil.
Sd. 1t preserves an equal quantity of
moisture in the soil. We seldom have a
rain so great as to produce an unhealthy
stagnatiOn of water about the roots of
plants set in the soil seven or eight inches
deep, and, on the contrary, we seldom have
a drouth OF so long continuance as to ex-
tract all the moisture to that depth.
These and other known ADVANTAGES from
deep plowiRg, we might dwell upon and
apart from the well-known fact above allu-
ded to, it would hardly be supposed that
any crop, of whatever character. would be
exempted from the good influence of the
practice.
We must make proper distinction, how
ever between natural subsoil, indurated
and rendered impervious to the action of
the air by centuries of rest-its original
hardness and impenetrability aggravated
by long course of continuous treading in
plowlng the surface soil--and that firm,
mellow body of earth which is produced by
deep cultivation.
1t Is this firm yet generous subsoil which
forms so valuable a matrix for the roots Of
the wheat plant, and enables them to resist
the loosenlng effects of alternate frosts and
thaws during winter This important dis
tinction, it will be observed, allows nothing
to be detracted from the argument in
favor of deep plowing. It's only when
the previous working has been, indeed, most
thorough, that the wheat reaps due ad-
vantage from this shallow blowing. The
understratum, though somewhat compacted
III comparison with the loose surface soil is
so enilvened by the former breaking up,
.lat the tender rootlets take firm hold and
keep their place.
Inc advantage of this comparative firm
ness ol the su'stratum is apparent in the
PraG now so common, of seeding corn
lahu 70 wheat without any blowing beyond
non OF the times OF the wheat-drilI, or any
such scratching OF the surface as will give
the seed light covering, is found to an
Swer all necessary purpose even on toler- |

A WORD ABOUT SORGHUM.

The amount Of land in Sorghum is report
ed as very large. This certainly was to be
expected, from the great price sugar and
molasses have borne for some years past
The manufacture of syrup continues to be
the only profitable aim Of the sorghum boil
er, for when well made it is valuable and
marketable article. The sugar, what there
is Of it, has an uncertain value, as it is of
variable quality. The time of harvesting
is after the seed has passed the milky state
If necessary to begin early, so as to pro-
long the boiling season, a portion may be
cut little sooner, but it is better to cut
later and stack the cane Strip the leaves
from the cane before cutting up, and top
below the second joint We will not ad-
wise as to the best cane mills or evapora-
ting pans. There are several good ones,
and like moving machines, their excellen-
cies make them very nearly equally valu-
able. The boiling should be conducted rap
idly in shallow pans, so that the scum may
be removed. If it is possible, boil down
the juice and finish it before it has been ex-
posed to the air by standing but that
which is somewhat reduced will betterIbear
exposure than that freshly expressed. The
skimming should be very thorough and
the hot syrup should be passed through
filter or strainer of wire gauze to remove
specks, etc. Juice of good quality may be
evap0rated and purified without the use of
defeating articles, like lime, soda eggs,
milk, etc. but when it is necessary to use
them lime is the best neutralizer of acids,
and eggs the best coagulator, though fresh
bullock's blood is much cheaper. These
substances are only added in the finishing
process, and will all be removed by the
process, and will all be removed
by the skimming. Economy in fuel is a
very important subject The fire should
burn freely, no more air ought to be admit
ted than will aid the combustion, and all
cracks where air can enter except below
the fire should be stopped by clay and sand
luting. The fire should play along the bot
tom of the pan as is consistent with a good
draft. Nothing is gained in concentrating
the syrup too much, and it is done only at
the risk of scorching. 1t should be about
the thickness Of good West India or New
Orleans molasses.
