A correspondent of the Country
Gentleman saws that he finds leached ashes
and cut grass the best mulch for the grape
vine. The ashes gather mOister and repel
heat. Grape vines that were mulched AT
the commencement of the drOuth last
summer, stood the heat well. When the
grass rOts, the roots derive nutriment from
Il. The grass Is put OF first, and then
covered with ashes. This mulch is both
productive and enriching, and the uutri-
inent is of a kind that is wanted-vegeta-
ble and carbonacious.

Do the Radicals imagine they can
say TO the tempest-tossed waves Of agita-
ton on the negro question, " thus far
shalt thou 60, and no farther?" If so,
they are mistaken. Give negroes Unlim-
tied political privileges, put the ballot
into their hands, send them abroad TO rep
resent the nation, and then halt at hat
point If you can. Already the current of
fanaticism is beginning to undermine the
social system, and the inky stream wash
in uponthe platform hitherto appropriated.
exclusively to the whites.
The Supreme Court of Georgia de
cidos that the negro can hold office IN that

ment protested that il did not invest the
negro with any political rights. This. in
deed, is 50 notorious that at this moment
there IS pending another amendment, the
10th, 70 give the negro the right even to
vote.
