RED CLOVER.

You desired me to give you the result
cf my recent experience in regard to the
culture of clover. My first attempt to
seed down patch was in ths f;sll of 1864.
After manuring and blowing about acres
of land, sowed and thoroughly narrowed
in the usual quantity of oats. then with
with log chain drawn by hand, laid 1t
of in suitable lands, and sowed. about a"
peck of red clover seed, two quarts to the
acre and brushed it in,-the surfacecbeing
already levcled and smoothed with the
harrow I never took more pains to have
piece of work nicely done. The result
was about as much oats and clover as
would stand on twenty ieet square;;-
what became Of it | do not know. | had
just brought the seed from the valley of
Virginia Tie following spring sowcd
te4Y handtals of the seed that had been
left, and obtained IL good stand as far as
it went.
In the winter OF 1906 J. purchased
four pounds of clover seed in Charleston
at Is cents a pound, and i'll the last of
February or early.in March sowcd with
oats as before, lbs on about 1-2 an acre
which came up promptly with the oats,
except on some few places where there
happened to be a deficiency OF manure,
there was no clover This allowed to
remain on the ground and mature accord
ING to directions without pasturing OF cut
ting. -.
On another half acre by the side of it,
my negro man, the next day in my alb
sence, sowed the remaining 2 lbs Of sceo,
following the same routine Of plow har-
row and brush, but without the oats The
result was, contrary to expectations, a
better stand and asmore vigorous growth,
accompanied with so rich yield of crab
grass, that / was tempted in the month of
September following to- NOW it, contrary
to what is understood to be the general
rule, and obtained a wagon load of clover
and crab. Instead. of being injured, it
was green all winter, and in the past spring
considerably surpassed that which had
been sowed with oats and had not been
moved.
From these experiments I became salts
fed, that to SOW red clover in the spring
much in the same way as we do turnips in
the autumn, without small grain, will al
most certainly prove a success. Accord
inglyI have considerably. increased my
patch this spring, sowing some as late as
April, with uniform success.
About the middle Of April, finding my
last years sowing from foot to Is inches
high and some of the blooms appearing,
l commenced cutting for feed, always
moving as 1 wished 1.-THE yield on a
square the size of ordinary carpenter
bench, being sufficient feed for two
mules without anything else. I now feed
corn only once day and then 10 clover,
and believe it so far, entirely sufficient for
laboring teams. / expect at least two full
crops this Simmer, the last one for hay
and-s seed. Where first commenced cut
tug about six weeks ago, it is now OVER a
foot high, nearly ready to NOV again.

IFGISIATIVE.

In the Senate Yesterday, the revenue
bill was the chief topic, the House bull
remodelling the present law being on its
third reading The bill as originally
presented in the House Of Representa-
tiyes from the committed, had undergone
much amendment before its transmission
To the Senate The effect of these amend
ments, and those made yesterday in the
Senate, are to retain the features of the
present law which are restrictive to the
commercial interests of the State, and
oppressive upon the mercantile class.
This action forecloses ali prospect OF Ju-
dicious modification of the tax law on
privileges, by the present Legislature.
The members have had the advantage
of full information Of the ruinOus effects
Of the present law upon the trade inter
ests, and had it presented in every form.
/ They either cannot or will not see 1t in
the true light; but whether their blind
ness be willful or not, the egreglous
blunder committed by such legislation,
proves that a majority Of that body are
incapable Of taking a comprehensive
survey Of their duties The adjustment
Of a wise and equal revenue system is one
Of the most, difficult questions in political
economy, and perhaps it was not to be
expected that men raw in Legislation, and
gangrened with prejudice, should decide
it ;ntelligently or fairly.
In the House Of Representatives., the
credentials of Davidson, member elect
for the second time from Jackson county,
were returned from the Committee on
Elections with the recommendation that
he be admitted to his seat. Mr.. Davidson
was elected over one Graves as the sue
cessor Of Mr.. Martin, who was expelled
by resolution last summer, and on the
presentation of his credentials was quail
fed and assumed his seat Graves con
tested the election, and the House re-
ferred the matter back to the people, and
a new election was ordered Again pre-.
senting himself with certificate and full
credentials, the case is referred 10 the
Committee on Elections, and notwith-
standing their report proves him entitled
to the seat, the Radical majority again
declare it vacant
We know nothing OF the politics of
Mr.. Davidson, nor do We care; but this
action is partisan, from some motive or
other, to the last degree. Ii is gross
abuse of the privilege to decide upon the
qualifications Of members, and IS pre-
cedent which requires rebuke. Ii estab'

THE PRESIDENT AND THE RECON
GTRUCTION BILL.


From the tenor Of the intelligence at
this hour It is not unlikely that the reader
will be informed IN this issue, that the
President has vetoed the hill adopted last
week by Congress providing governs
ments for the ten Southern States unrep-
resented in that body Assuming that he
has done so, is it probable that it will re-
ceiVe in both Houses the requisite two
thirds to make it a law in spite Of
the Executive negative ? Unless there
has been very considerable modification
of views in the past ten days, it Is rot
| The Conservatives almost to a man may
be presumed to be still against It.
II any OF them forego opposition,
it will be only on the ground,
\ that the rejection Of this measure
will lead to something worse, or that it
would be better to consent to anything
than to leave the question open. How
many may be actuated by such consider
ations it is not possible to say, hut we
incline to believe that there will be very
few. The ultra Radicals who opposed i;
10 its passage for the reason that it was
not sufficiently stringent, may, in order
to spite the'President, vote against the
veto; but thisIs not likely, because they
desire the question to bekept in agitation
and are aware that the iortieth
Congress, which assemblies on Monday,
may, under the circumstances be
brought up to the point they desire. Il
the bill does not receive liberal support
from both of these elements it will GO
down.
We are informed that the President
has had the advantage of much counsel,
pro and con, in regard to his action on
this bill; and we have no doubt that II
has cost him much anxious thought
and that whatever step he has taken, has
been after due consultation and delibera
ton His action may involve important
consequences to himself as well Of
to the country We haveeOnf'
dence that he will look to the latter
first, and that whatever he may dc
will be in obedience to his sense of duty
to the constitution, and to the interests
of his fellOw-countrymen Had he beer
disposed to adopt the views of Congress-
and coincide with the policy favored by
the Radical majority, he could have beer
to day an imperial dictator, such as thai
bill would make him over part OF the
nation. His department has hitherto
not been that of an unduly ambitious
man. He has chosen to tread the path
of constitutional duty II has been made
rugged for him, and may be made still
more so, but he has, as yet, given no evi,
dpnce Of purpose to deviate
