sMr. W0od6n's farm has been sewn with
Orchard and Timothy. The natural growth
will sustain about one sheep to the acre; but
about once in eight or ten years there is a
snow deep enough to prevent access to the
green heritage 1t is not, therefore, consider
ed very safe to omit some provision for
winter. 1t costs from two to five dollars
to deaden timber and sow grass and fence.
You can find abundance of land that will
yield from one to four tons of hay per acre.
In an ordinary winter, you would not
need to feed more than two or three weeks.
In general, will say, by way of example,
if you purchase 10000 acres of mountain
land and seed 2,0O0 with grass you will have
ample provision for 10000 sheep.

further inquiries of a similar character. H

disabilities.

We are glad that bill has been intro
duced in Congress to punish persons who
NAV persist in holding office in violation of
.he 18th article of the Federal Constitution.
We trust some bill of the kind will be pass
ed. 1t should he the first duty of every cit
izen to see that the Constitution, which we
have all sworn to support, is strictly OBJ
served. This cannot he done as long as
persons VIGOROUSLY banned by the 14th ar
ticie are permitted to remain in office.
We believe in amnesty, but not to rebels
We believe in amnesty to loyal men-to men
who have repudiated secession and the
" lost cause" and who are in hearty accord
with the Republican party. Our enemies
will not even thank us for amnesty, and those
rebels who may obtain it will laugh at us in
their sleeves for our verdant generosity. Let
those who want amnesty give in their I" ex-
perience" before it is granted them. All
our Republican leaders in the State who have
been relieved of their disabilities have given
in good, sound Republican experience"
and have so united themselves to the cause
of the government that they could notnow
retract if they would.
It is known that there are members of the
legislature of this State, now in their seats,
uho are forbidden By the Constellation Of the
United States to hold those seats. Where are
the friends of violated Constitution
Weappeal to our members of Congress to be
very careful as to when they relieve ofpolit.
ical disabilities Let there not be -hasty or in
considerable action, based en- mistaken gener-
osity. Let them not inf1ict an uRkind and in.
furious blow on their friends here in NORTH
Carolina Let the Legislature be purged of al
who are banned, and let it be thus known ant
felt that that body has sincere and practica
regard Tor the Constitution of the United
States. 1t is well enough to have sympathy
but duty must be perform ed, DO matter who
may be deprived of place or power.

YOUNG MEN-It is with pleasure that we have
beheld the Republican party inaugurate policy
of putting young men into position. We do not
mean that man should be placed in position
which he cannot fill but we do insist that the
young men OF the Republican party be put for
ward for all the positions for which they are
qualified.
The old fogy idea, that age, family position,
and wealth is to be the criterion by which the
merits OF the young men of the country are to
be decided must be done array NTH.
There are plenty of rising, talented young men
in the Republican party who are well qualified
to fill the majority Of the offices throughout the
State and National Governments. - ..-....
This is an age of progress. To keepup with the
rapid strides whichwe, as Republic, are making,
young, healthy, vigorous, energetic men, must,
in great measure run the Government. Let us
have young men wherever they are qualified

We think the suggestion of the Star most
excellent and will give our views at length
