should be properly managed and
prepared for culture, so as to double
it's present production; procure labor
saving implements, and what is un-
dertaken have well done, with an eye
to improvement ard profit, and you
will soon see there is no section of
count Y to surpass it in agricultural
advantages-one where people can
live more comfortably, more bounti-
,fllly and moro independently. All
we need is to study our interest, and
do away with old exploded ideas of
farming, and relying on bull tongues
and scooters, and scratching and half
plowing. Lay that system aside, and
procure such plows as are made by
Mr.. II. E. C. Brinly; of Louisville,
KY, and you will soon find out the
Importance of them. There"is no
manufacturer in the Uniied States
that makes as cheap and as fine a
plow as Brinly-one that can break
the la,. d as thoroughly, with as light
draft to the animal. All our conn
try needs, is thorough plowing, with
such plows, proper manufacturing,
and good management, and we can
live as comfortably, and as indepcnd-
emily as any farmers elsewhere,
without planting a seed of cotton
but if cotton is desired, We can raise
it here as plentifully to the acre or
hand, as in most of the cotton coun-
tries. I advise all, however, to
abandon cotton, and let New England
import it from the colonies of Old
England, and let US turn our attention
to other crops, and fine stock, &C.,
and live on the products of our own
farms. JNO. II. DENT.

MOORE CoUNTY.-One of our sub
scribers in Moore county informs us
that a complete revolution is taking
place in the politics of that county.
The white men who had been duped
into the "Union Leagues" are aban-
doning those dcns of iuiquity in utter
disgust, and boldly proclaim their in
tention of voting to maintain the su-
premacy of their own race. Our in
formant tells lis that s. S. Mcdonald,
the Gorilla delegate from Moore,
would not "black the board" if he
should become candidate again.
The fate of the bogus Constitution
is sealed. The white men of North
Carolina CAN no longer be deluded.

The New York Herald saws 4:

The New York Herdld says
Judging by the action in the case Of
Alabama, reconstruction comes down
to a fine point. Something like a
huHdred Northern adventurers and
niggers get together somewhere in a
State and make what they call a con-
stitution. Evidence that this con-
stitution is the act of the people is
not necessary; neither is evidence that
the people assent to it. Let it only
be presented to Congress, and Con-
gress will pass law declaring the
State in. Thas it the whole process;
and since reconstruction is so simple
and easy, it may seem wonderful to
the country that so many political
geniuses as the Radicals number could
not accomplish it before.

TROUBLE IN LYNCHBURG BETWEEN
TIE SOLDIERS AND THE NEGROES
On yesterday party of three or four
soldiers, all of them more or less in
toxicated, while staggering along
twelfth street met witt. a young ne
gro, whom they at once violentlyat-
tackled. AS the noise of the fracas
increased, Mrs. Dunnivan, who keeps
a store, closed and secured her doors,
to prevent intrusion. The soldiers

The scene of the disturbance was
now transferred to the corner Twelfth
and Court streets. The soldiers COM
menced throwing stones, some of
which fell against the windows Of

into the tobacco factory of Mcssrs.
Murrell & Harris. Some of the ne
groes employed in the latter establish
ment came out with prize beam to
engage in the melee. .. ~
At thisiuncture the police arrived,
and put an end to the threatened out
break. Three of the soldiers, who
seemed to have taken a prominent
part in the outrage, were arrested, in
part by the aid of two of their COM
rades who had not participated in It.
All ofthese fcllowsswere more or less
i bruised and bloody, one having re-
ceived a severe blow on the head,
supposed to have been inflicted by a
pair of brass knuckles. After these
arrests were made the negroes col
lected in large numbers, and seemed
to he greatly excited and incenscd.
As no further demonstration was
made on the part of the soldiers, the
excitement finally subsided, and pro,
found quiet reigned' throughout the
entire city a few hours after.

President of the United States attend
ing an evening reception of the Chief
Justice was fully realized. His carp
ing letter to the Senate-his refusal,
at first, to obey the mandate to APP
pear as its presiding officer---and his
decisions of the following day, are but
the unfolding of plot to obstruct
and defeat as far as possible the. con-
victiop of the President. How far
he may be able to work harm de.
pends, of course, on the fnriness of
the Senate; but, in any everit, he is
serious obstacle, with evil intentions
only limited by his courage: which
latter, fortunately, is not great. He
seems determined to maintain the
consistency ola public career which
may be summed up in these words:
He never had an opportunity to
serve his party that he did not 5etray
it.
The Senate itself is the next great
danger. There is reason TO believe
that serious detection exists among
the Republicans on this question:
Ross, of Kansas, and Sprague, of
Rhode Island (Chase's sou-in-law),
are already counted secure as two Of
the seven Republicans it is necessary
to win over to prevent a conviction.
The more than probable detection of
Fessenden would carry at least four
more gentlemen who hang on his
skirts. The folly of Congress in not
providing for the suspension of the
President during trial will soon be
evident. The sboundless opportunity
this gives the crlprit to corrupt his
judges will not remain unimproved.

GRANT TO BE DRoPPED.-The New
York correspondent of the Buffalo
IN. W Courier, says:
Prominent Radicals say Grant will
not receive the nomination at Chica-
60. The only men one hears talking
in his favor, are the mild Republicans,
who have no influence. All the
strong, active Radicals are either in
different --orr4a~-l to-hiin. They
defend him warmly enough. when he
is assailed; for the part he played in
the Stanton business, but when it
comes to the question of his nomina-
ton for the Presidency, they either
dodge the point or say plainly they
don't want him. Then the Stewart
Vanderbilt movement, from which
Grants friends expect so much, has
come to a halt, and the engineers ap-
pear to have lost all interest in it. 1t
is the general opinion ofintelligent
Conservatives that Grant will not get
the nomination.. A complimentary
vote, they say will be given him, and
lie will then be propped for more
pronounced Republican. .g The Chase
party is. still hopeful4: and will work
hard at Chicago. Greely and his
followers are privately as much op'
posed to Grant now as they were
months ago. Greeiy's name was
placed OH the list Of vice-presidents
at the last Grant meeting, and tho
Tribune said next day it's use was un'
thorized. Whatever the feeling may
be, it is certain that here in Ne"
York-except among the nondes
cripts-there is no real enthusiasm
for Grant, and unless shrewd obser
vers are much mistaken, he will be
put aside at Chicago, and mar

tions will 60 on the track for the

The Pope's Tridnlm at st. Alphonsus.

In accordance with the request of the
Holy Father, the churches of the city are
making, during different weeks of Lent, the
iridium indicated by him and to his inten-
ton. 1t is in the form of the forty hours
alteration, the Blessed Sacrament being ex-
posed to the worship of the faithful during
that length of time. In Catholic countries
the alteration is continued day and night
until the time is completed. In countries
of mixed religion, however, as with us, the
time is usually SO distributed as to occupy
three days, the exposition and alteration of
the Sacred Host 'ceasing during the night.
1t is this division of the time that makes
the forty hours alteration a iridium, or
three days devotion, such as prescribed on
this occasion by our venerable Chief Pontiff.
1t was our fortune to assist at this tri-
dunn, and to witness some of its most i'm
posing ceremonies at the Church of st. AL
phonsus. 1t commenced ON st. Patrick's
day with the grand procession of the Sacred
Host, after High Mass, and, terminated with
a similar procession and benediction after
the evening sermon on the. feast of st.
Joseph. During the whole period of
the iridium the interest and piety

Whose OK is Gored7

1t is really amusing-in grim way-to
note the invariable inconsistencies into
which most of our city contemporaries fall
whenever Rome is is the subject of their COM
ments. Radicalism, in the shape of Black
Republicanism, is their adherence; but
Radicalism in the form of Red Republican,
is a very acceptable thing, quite a desirable
progress,-in fact, it does not gore their OK.
In o recent issue of one of our most re-
spected and most liberal dailies, we find
Rome classed as retrogyadist. In the same
issue, doubtless, there aresweighty articles
fraught with resistless arguments to prove
that our highly progressive nation is about
to progress to pieces. Here, Radicalism is
sweeping away all landmarks, every bar
rier-social and tical-wk;ch cur neigh
Dor considers SO important, so essential to
the preservation of his rights. There, Radi
calism is raging and seething in it's impo-
tence before similar barriers, and our neigh
Dor speaks rather slightingly of the retro
gradist court which cannot see the advan-
tage of that style of progress.
If our neighbor were in handsomely
painted bark, covered all over with pennants
and steamers and gay flags unfolding the
Stars and Stripes to the breeze, and all
floating swiftly down the rapids of Niagara,
it would seem to him, doubtless, that the
stately old trees on either bank, the solid
rocks, and the ancient hills were all gliding
backward-retrogradin Things would not
look that way, however, to people on shore.
There are two elements to be respected
and combined in all good governments
progress and conservatism. Progress graz
dually and safely removes unnatural or I'M
necessary restraints, barriers to personal
liberty which the ignorance or violence of a
former age has bequeathed to its Posterity.
Conservatism maintains all the restraints
and all the barriers which nature itself has
created. There are in society arbitrary dis
tinctions founded on no principle of truth OF
reason; these progress sweeps away. There
are, again, distinctions dictated by nature
the work of God himself-and these conser-
vatism protects from the leveling hand of
folly and frenzy.
An instance of the former may be seen,
perhaps, in the present condition of Eng
land. : A balefnl system of class privilege,

ASNUNCIATIoN OF THE BLESSED VIRGIN
This feast, though very solemn, il not one of
obligation. Persons who wish to gain the in
diligence attached to this feast will understand
that it has not an octave when it occurs in

rule that there are no octaves to- feasts oc-
curing in Lent, nor to feasts which are trans
fcrred
