suspension of the rules was granted to allow
the introduction by Mr.. Fisher Of the following
resolutions, which were read, and on motion Of
Mr.. Farrell, referred to the city attorney;
l. Resolved, That the mayor be and heis author
lied TO enter into contract with Louis Gsgnet.

Company for the exclusive privilege OF using Tor

of Bayou st. John extending from the mouth OF
Carondelet canal. following said bayou to the n.
f. or lower side of st. Ann street. according to
plan of the city surveyor to be annexed 10 the
contract.
.. Resolred further, That the said Louis Gagnet
binds himself to grant said privilege during the
term Of his lease and TO withdraw any and all SUITS
which he may heretofore have entered against
the city for damages sustained by him BY the
eity's draining into said Bayou 81. John and

lection of the revenues Of the markets. separately,
for one year. The article following declares that
the farmers, or lessees, shall pay onetwelfth in
cash, and the balance from the first OF January
at ], 2, 8, 4, S, 6, Z, 8, 3, 10 and IL months.
Should any farmer or lessee fail to comply with
the stpuatons Of said article, the controller must
cause new adjudication to be made forthwith, "
that is TO say, in the month Of December.
The object is plain. II is to compel farmers or
lessees TO pay one.twelfth cash. the first install
ment IN December so that the second instsllment,
due on the first Of January, aud installments
following should come regularly into the city
treasury. -.--.
Otherwise the controller would be engaged at
uncertain intervals in the work of adjudication,
end this irregularity would seriously inconveni'
ence public officers, and make the farming system
a burden and q nuisance. Again, such adladlcs-
lions were ordered 10 be made In mid winter, be
cause that is the business season, and the COM
petition among bidders would be much greater,
and the privileges and benefits Of lesseeshlp com
mand a larger sum than in the dall summer
months.
Expectancy does not shape my action. The
law is imperative. Granting. for the sake Of
argument, that the revenues OF this market could
be sold ct so unproptious time as the present
what then? The resolution provides that the
sale shall be for one month, to the thirty first
December next, when the law expressly declare:
that all adjudications shall be for the term Of one
year.

violation OF the law regulating markets, | an
compelled to return it to the board in which Il
originated, without my approval.
Very respectfully, etc.,
John r. CONWAY, Mayor.
Mr. Fisher moved that the board persist in thu
adoption of the resolution notwithstanding thu
veto Of the mayor.
The motion was put, and failing to receive thu
necessary two thirds vote, was declared defeated
The following communication from the city sur

upon Mr.. Reeds mind, although in
general II is very good mind indeed. he
takes it for granted that because a
certain class is swindled in Pennsylvania, 1t is
therefore perfectly righteous to swindle 1t, for
instance, in Louisiana lie wants injustice
uniform and equal all over the country. Not
satisfied with this absurdity, he intimates that
Pennsylvania will be so indignant at finding
that negroes vote in South Carolina, while she
does not allow them to vote within her bor-
ders, that she will first have "convulsons, "
and then-secede Why, pray, hasn't she
seeded before Negroes have been voting in
a number of States for many years-in some
of them ever since the Revolution. Pray,
how has sensitive Pennsylvania managed TO
bear TITO bear it, when she found "herself' -
(to use Mr.. Reeds language) "a perpetual
partner with the negro 2" Still she went on
voting, and sometimes some of her free and
enlightened and fastidious Democrats so far
overcame their feelings as to be able to vote
three or four times at the same election.
Occasionally even white voters are not the
exclusive possessors of every svirtue under
Heaven.
Mr. Reed is an able and an honorable man;
he, therefore, talks very plainly, and avows
that if the Democrats carry the Government,
one of their first acts will be to take away the
right of suffrage, which has been formally and
unreservedly bestowed upon the freedmen.
We like plain talking, even when we think
that a man talks absurdly; and Mr.. Reed
speaks plainly enough in all Conscience He
would take away privilege conferred by ma
tiOnal law, and guaranteed by the national
honor, from what he is pleased to call "an
alien and offensive race.' His frankness
seems to us to be quite superior to his states
manship. In the course of a not over long
letter he has managed to predict revolution
in the South, a revolution in Pennsylvania,
and revolution in the Treasury. Two OF
these, according to his own showing, would
be the result of Mr.. Seymour's election, and
only one of them-the Pennsylvania "convul-
sion''--is threatened by the election of General
Grant. On the whole, we think that we pre-
fer the ''convulsion."

Southern RecuperatiOn.

From The NJ y Commercial Advertiser
With all their denunciation of carpet baggers
and Northerners generally, the Southern
mouth pieces are not so unobserving as not to
perceive that these strangers are contributing
very materially,to the regeneration and recu-
peration of their well-nigh ruined section. The
great mass of those who have proceeded South
since.the termination of the conflict have car
ried capital with them. 1t is their money
which is now starting new mills and factories,
rebuilding destroyed ediices, reopening, or
opening for the first time, coal, iron, lead,
and gold mines, and projecting many new
enterprises and undertakings which will
add to the material industry and wealth
of the section, and hasten its recuperation.
Had it not been for the capital conveyed
thither the recovered States could have raised
no cotton or sugar crops during the past three
years. They have not the wherewith to pur-
chase seed, prepare the land and employ labo-
Ters. They understand this, and the South
ern papers are just now filled with appeals to
Northern people to come and settle among
them. The Richmond Enquirer of yesterday,
directs attention to the plaster deposits OF
Smythe county, as one of the resources of the
Old Dominion, which only requires capital to
be made source of vast wealth. 1t says:-
The main bed is situated on what is called the
"Cove," on Cove Creek, branch of the North
Fork OF Holston river, Cbout twenty-five miles
north Of Wytheyille; and fourteen m miles east OF
the Virginia and Tennessee Railroad The
route from thence to the Cove is up the valley
of the Holston, a most favorable line for a rail-
road-the grades would be about fifteen feet to
the Notwithstanding with the export tonnage.
The quality of this plaster is superior to any
now known on this continent, Such as have
had q fair opportunity of testing 1t with the
Nova Scotia fix their relative value at fifty to
one hundred per cent. in favor of the Virginia
that is to say, one ton of the Virginia is equal
to one and q half to two of the Nova Scotia. In
quantity it is enormously underltes hundreds
of acres In compact body; well, or shaft,
ten feet in diameter, mas been sunk at one
point Within four feet from the surface plas.
ter was reached, and continued with the ex-
ception of few dimlnutlve seams of clayl for
the depth of five hundred and eighty-two feet,
and operations suspended without reaching the
bottom OF the vein or deposit, so continuous
was the plaster--no water came in--the plaster
continuing OF uniform superior quality
throughout. What an immense treasure is
here presented for the agriculturist! What a
powerful and effective agency to resuscitate the
now impoverished South, enabling the farmer
to make more available the entire surface OF
Southern soil.
Some Of our Northern capitalists who are on
the alert for remunerative undertakings, would
do well to look into these plaster deposits.

The Question before the People.

From the N. Y. Times
The all-impOrtant question presented to the
people, North and South, is not whether Re-
publican or Democratic administration shall
rule the country. The political conflict which
agitates every section of this continent is not
simply partisan, as in ordinary cases where
the people are called upon to judge between
an administration and the oppOsition-be-
tween the Gins" and the "outs." The well
fare of the republic during a long series of
years depends upon the result of the coming
elections. Neither the Republicans nor the
Democrats, as such, can rely upon the pres
tige of party name in such conflict any
more than they could four years ago. Now,
as then, more serious interests are at stake
han those involved in the possession of the
White House, or of the Capitol, or OF party
spOils.
The military successes which closed the war
for the Union only furnished basis for the
restoration of peace. The absence OF actual
war is not peace. Lees surrender was no
argument proving the restored loyalty of his
troops. 1t simply indicated their exhaustion,
their inability to fight. OF course, the defeat
Of the Rebellion proved its folly-but 1t did

From the Ohio Farmer.
A Word to thc Farm boys.

Boys whose lot it is to work on the
farm, often feel that they are bound to
a disagreeable if not a disgraceful
drudgery. They thirk, "If | could
only get to the town or city and be as
the store clerks sec there, who stand
at the desk and write, or who with white
hands, and nice clothes, sell goods from
behind counter, | should be all right.
Almost anything would be better than
thisdirty out door work upon the farm"
Boys, have lived upon a farm, have
chopped, plowed, hoed, moved Graded
and done all kinds OF farm work.
have also lived in the city and done
city work, and have been close OBJ
server OF those boys to young men;
who have exchanged the farm for the
city life, and now let me tell you a
truth; the great majority Of youngsters
who leave the farm aud 90 to the city
for employment make a great mistlte. 4
In the first place mcreIs aic very apt
to suffer, and be- abIts formed, and
when one has lost his good name he
has not much more to lose. Thousands
have been utterly ruined by going to
the city,who if they had stayed at home
would have been saved to themselves
and to society.
In the second place, the change from
country to city life often Injuries the
health, and without health one is unfit
ted for either labor or enjoyment.
In the next place proportion of the
the boys who go from the farm to the
city never succeed in accumulatipg
property,
| know, boys, that city life is very
attractive to many of you, but my al
vice is that you stick to the farm, for
it is an honorable, safe, heaIthful and
may be made profitable aud dau agree
able employment The Ohio Farmer
will tell you how this can be done.

The RrnI,mn Fowl.

The inprovent Of animals is Of great
peGuniary consequence, and hence the
efforts making TO get those breeds which
produce the best results. In this eli
mate, animals that might do well in a
more southerly section fail by reason Of
our severe winters, II is, therefore, an
object even in selecting poultry, to get
those breeds calculated for our severe
and changeable weather.
From my experience, | consider the
Brahma fowl calculated for this climate
Comparing this breed with the com
mon mixed breeds OF the country, the
Brahma is full twice as productive at
the same outlay. In winter, when eggs
are scarce and in demand, because the
common breeds lay sparingly,thc Brah-
mas, under the same care and treat
ment, lay bountifully. | do not say
that even the Brahma will lay bounti.
fully if not fairly provided for-that is,
enough to eat and drink, and comfort
able shelter. My experience is with
fowls taken proper care Of, aud the re-
suit Is that IN January, l6 Brahma May
pullets laid 227 eggs, in February they
laid i3s, and in March, 9O6 total, see
eggs and the first week in April twelve
of them laid 90 eggs. The four ] had
shutlup In a coop to stop their setting
proIiensity, and after weeks eOnline-
ment they kindly commenced laying.
My plan is, when hens desire to set
against my wishes, to con6ne them in
a small apartment, three by six feet,
provided with roosts and water, corn
and ashes, and in a week they are rea-
dy to commence laying, generally; but
if any persist in setting, return them tC
the coop, aud another weeks confne

CarIins Qua Manure ia tIac Fan.


Our springs are often so wet that the
planting season is crowded into very
few days, aud it greatly helps the har
ried laboTs Of seed sowing to have the
manure upon the ground Some ofour
best farmers cart out the most Of their
summer made manure in the tall and
early winter, and if the heaps are prop
erly protected the value of the manure
viii be increased The advantage of
making manure under cover is not that
it is kept from moisture, but that the
degree Of moisture can be regulated,
there being neither too much nor too
little in any part of the mass. The
compost heap needs water to regulate
its fermentation. Ii it can beso con
structed that il will receive Just water
enough. aad so thatthe surface willnot
dry, nothing will be lost The heaps
should have six or eight cords of ma
nure each, should be made four or live
feet high, well troddcn down, with
sides sloping at On angle OF 45 degrees
to shed part Of the rain, and both top
and sides should be covered with few
inches of surface soil or muck. The
fermentation will 60 on through tIe
winter and when thecompost is fork,
ed overin thespring previous to spread.
ing, as it should be, it will be found
very "short" and better than If it had
lain in the open yard all winter Most
farmers have not room enough in their
cellars and yards to store all the manure
their stock is capable of making, andit
is a great advantage to clean out all
their accumulations in autumn, as well
as spring, and furnishes a new supply
of muck, loan, Or straw, for thewipter.
A much larger quantity Of manure is
made by this course Ii concentrated
manures are used in addition to those
made upon the place, they may often
be mixed with the yard manure, in
these compost heaps with good results.
The danger Of burning the seed, which
so often occurs when these artificial
manures are applied in the hill in the
undiluted state, would be avoided, and
if the combined manure be used for
spring grain more even distribution
is effected.
