lief derived from 3 telegram from Tsunes-
see, tnst the prisoner was charged with
crime IN Tennessee. Neither Of these doc
uments was sufficient evidence on which to
hold the prisoner a moment In custody.-
Cde statute defined the evidence necessary
to 'horISe q mandate OF removal In such
cases. Such evidence must consist Of an
authenticated copy Of the indictment or of
the the aih1avit on which the warrant for
an arrest was issued. Assistant District
Attorney Blunt said he had the affidavit of
the ofncer who brought the requ sition from
Memphis that the requsition was then be-
fore tue Governor Of New York and only
awaited the signature of tho Secretiry OF
Statei Mr.. Justice McOunu doubted very
much whether he could remand the prison
or TO be sent back to Tennessee on the facts
then before him. Inspector Walling, on
on behalf OF Superintendent Ksnnedy, said
that the arrest bad been made at the in
stance OF the deputy sheriff. who had
brought the requiSitiOn from Tenuessee.--
Assistant ID strict-Attorney Blunt read an
affidavit that the legal evidence he in-
dictmeut and diil iavit on which the warrant
f-r arrest was gr0unded-wtre now on the
way from Tennessee. Mr. Justice MoCunn
said the prisoner had now beeu illegally
held 10 custody for q week. Assistant Dis
trict-AttOrnsy Blunt urged 40 Adjournment
to o'clock p. m, by which time, he said,
he would receive Gov, Hofmsu's mandate
for the prisoners return to Tennessee.
Arguments of counsel having been cUnclu-
ded, Justice McCunn delivered au opinion,
as follows:
"rhe prisoner brought before me Tues
day, aud At the instance of the District At
torney, | remandod him until Thursday,
that the District Attorney might have au
opportunity of preparing return to the
writ. Probably it was then the right of the
prisoner to be discharged, nothing being
shown TO Justify his detention. Thursday
the prisoner was again before me, and with
him came a return 10 the writ. The return
was confessedly insufficient to authorize his
Imprisonment; but ELECTORS may be unduly
solicitous to prevent the escape of posi-
bic criminal. | ag lin accorded the District
Attorney twenty-Inur hours with which
to lie an amended return. | can hardly
doubt but my duty was then to discharge
the prisoner. Considering these things, and
that he has already been imprisoned a week
without the least feature OF justification, |
cannot consent to detain him another mo-
ment in illegal custody. The District. At
tor0ey suggrss warrant from the Execu-
tive will arrive for the arrest aud surrender
of the prisoner. Very well urder that
let him be taken and detained, and, if there
be Apprehension OF his escape meanwhile,
upon proper affidavit, process for his ar
rest may be procured, aud he may b. held for
extradition to Tennessee. For myself |
cannot longer be a party to his illegal
imprisonment. Let the prisoner be dis
charged"
The moment the prisoner was discharged
Assistant ID strict-Att"rney Blunt received
teleg am from Albany saying: Mandate
for Rnurr has been issued, ahd sent to you
by mall"

Mr.. Calhoun, who understood the southern

but, unhappily, he kept his fingers ON them
only, and failed to feel tho northern wrisi,
and so he lost the benefit OF his insight. Mr..
Webster had not marked development Of
the pereeptive faculties. His general rea-
son prevailed over his special insight or
close natural sympathy with the popular

wrapped up ia principles. He spoke with
ali his power and logic, with little reference
to the Immediate feelings of his hearers and
thus lost power as shaper and exponent OF
American will. Everett, who was equally
deficient in this special genealogical indica-

common people, whom he did not instinc

pend d upon to produce every year a fan
crop g any one product, aud yet too many
Of our farmers act upru this superstition and
are justly punished for il.
IL Is the general custom In Virginia now,
as 1t has always been, tor farmer to "put
all his eggs In one basket" He raises
enough Of several things % supply the wants
OF his family, but he concentrates all his
cxertiOns upon tobacco. or wheat OF corn, a.
his main crop II this fails he gets Of well
il hs Is not brought into debt al the end OF
the year, while he is sometimes ruined.
Nov all this misfortune can be- prevented
by the same foresight that people make use
VI In every other State In the Union, North
and West OF us. This simple expedient Is
To diversity the crops, and where the Vir-
giBia farmer now puts In one big crop, to
put In four or Ave smaller ones. IL he does
this he may make every one of them but
be cannot fail 10 more than one or two 10
that tho probability amounts to almost q
certainty that he will avoid the straits To
which he is now s1l jrcted every few yeArs
by the partial or total failure of his one
crop.
This divers 6cation Is also necessary for
the rotation OF crops, without which there
can DO no successful farming, and which
is almost unknown In many districts of Vir-
ginia, the nearest approach TO which Is not
to let the one crop Of this year be of the
same kind of grain on the same ground as
the on crop of the last. Even this rude
rule is not always carried ont, but we to-
often The same grain put year after year
in the same field until II is utterly worn out
BY a proper scientific system of rotation
the land will be saved from this annual de-.
terioration Of its strength; for it has been
proved that what one kind Of crop leaves
10 the soil is a e. cd preparation for a crnp
of some Other kind, and experience has
shown That the larger the circle of rotation
The less is The soil damaged, and the less
manuring does IL require.
1t is hard TO get people TO adopt any i'm
proveinent. They are prone to go round in
the beaten track of their ancestors, and he
is great benttactOr who can do anything
To get them out Of habit the growth OF
centuries, however absurd it may be 10
theory aud however ruinOus in practice.
Among these peniciOus customs none is
more mischievious than the one crop sys-
ten, it We do not dignity it too much by
giving it such name.
We trust that the establishment OF sgri-
cultural societies and fairs la every county
in Virginia will do away with the present
method of cultivation, so disastrous in its
consequences. We are glad to see that
several counties have been moving In this
matter, and we hope that, though in this
region we have not done our duty, We shall
soon take the matter In hand and remove
the stigma attaching to the finest portion of
Virginia, of not having since the war given
the proper attention to matter OF 80 vital
Importance to our interests.

Counterfeit Ten-Dottdr Green
backs.

We have had on hand for several days a
specimen Of the msgniied ten dollar green
backs genuine and counterfeit. The former
was copied -four times the size) from u new
note never issued by the Department, and
the latter from one of the supposed coun-
tel feits recently received at Washington,
and evidently well hended. Why par.
italy worn bill of the series admitted TO be
genuine was not used instead of a perfect
ly new one we crnnot tell, unless tho object
was to represent greater difference be-
tween the two than actually exists. But,
eveu as II is, the success of the 50 called
counterfeit is mar elous. We can hardly
do otherwise than believe that 10 some way
the plate from which the rejected notes
were done WAS made from machine copies
surreptitiously obIaieed from the original
work, through the dishonesty or negligence
Of persons in the employ ment Of the gov
eminent.
The slight discrepancies between tho two
bills are seen chic hy Ia two particulars. -

This note is so near perfect, however, that
no matter how IL is produced, il will pass
readily anywhere, and the whole emission
must be Withdrawn. Our constant readers
al f.ff ia
many years ago that the use Of 0ne note
throughout the whole country, instead Of
preventing the imitation, would encourage
IL by enabling the counterleiter to reap

Iuterestinn EiOnenlcnt.


The people Of Glen Cows, Long Island,
are in very sgitated frame of mind over
the eloPement from that village of young
lady, named Mary Mckenzie, with her
mothers coachmaD, named Baily. Blily
has been in the service of this family tor a
long time, hut his intimacy with Miss Mary
aroused suspicion, aud about two weeks ago
he was discharged. The couple had learn
ed to love one another, aud Biily, although
thrown out Of employment, was not COM
plutely vatqnished. About a quarter of a
mile from the parental abode was a large
corn field, aud In this the couple would
meet, and confer with each other as to the
best course to pursue. Finally the conclu-
ded to live apart Do longer, and fixed the
wedding day. On the night appointed, the
young lady left home, pretending to go to
The village, hut instead she secreted herself
in the corn field aud awaited the arrival of
her intended. Just as darkness set in, a
team drove up TO the field, a shrill whistle
broke the silence Of the rural region, and
IN almost an instant the infatuated pair
were beside each other, riding speedily ia
the direction of a minister's residence -
They went to a neighboring village, aud
were formally united in wedlock, aud soon
retu ned to their homes. The young lady
entered the house of her parents and stated
the fact OF her marriage in remarkably
cool manner. The mother shrieked with
terror, and it was thought that she would
die from the effects of the shock. Toe err
ring girl realized her situation and apparent
ly repented on the spot. Soon after Baily
arrived but he met with a warm recep.
ton, and was elected from the house, and
forbade the premises forever. Sympathis.
ing friends have since been endeayoring TO In
duce the girl To leave her unsuitable spouse,
but without avail, aud as last resort the
family If Mrs. Mckenzie have offered Daily
$4,000 il he will reliuquish the claims to
her hand and leave the place. The young
lady is well educated and accomplished,
while BAly is lusty, uneducated aud ig-
norant individual. N. Y. Star.

saw two negro men approaching whom he
suspected of being the guilty parties, and
imme diately produced his double barrelled
shot gun aud babe them halt, which they
refused to do, but seeing determination in
the eye OF their challenger, the scoundrels

this case, named respectively Turpin and
Hembree, brothers-in- lsws-having had q
misunderstanding between each other, they
mutually agreed to settle their difference in
a fair, square, standup fight, no knives or
deadly weapons to be used. In pursuance
Of this agreement, Turpin threw his knife
away. Hembree refused to do likewise,
when Turpin tried to arm himself with a
club, and whilst in the act Of picking up a
stick, was set upon by bis antagonist aud
severely, IL not fatally cut about the head

pins wounds are believed TO be fatal, Hem
bree is still at large, no attempt, as we are
