and stubble should not be fed off too soon or
by heavy animals of any kind.
Seeding dol1n Grass may be sow alone
at this season, or a little earlier perhaps, bet
ter that at any other. Prepare the ground
well, giving thorough narrowing and top
dressing, picking off the stones sow the
seed, and roll. A bushel of oats narrowed

the young plants the protection of a fine
mulch during the winter, aud unless the sea-

out of the way when spring cones, making
good manure.
SdUing Seed.-Seed corn should be marked
before it is cut up, by selecting the best ear
where two or more are on a stalk, and tying
strings tightly around them. They will nus
be found and thrown one side at husking.
Seed potatoes should be selected from those
that have healthy stalks, and ripen first. 1t
is very well to go through and dig from hills
before the general digging. If the whole
crop is to be saved for seed, or fit is desirable
to keep it pure, 60 through carefully, and
dig any suspicious or peculiar looking hills.
Seed ofall kinds should be kept where it is dry
in nets, baskets, loosely covered pals, or in
net bags, or tied together and suspended.
Close vessels are often fatal to seeds, causing
them to mold or heat.-American -AgricuL

We were sorry to part with the amiable,

also noticed that a garland, woven of the

which will YOU Choose?

The Clarion will find that 'sapathy" will
continue on the part of the people just so
long as ola party leaders attempt to force
them into the support of such ticket as
that put forth by the late "so-called' Con-
sentative Republicans.
The great majority of the people have no
use for either branch of the Republican par
ty.-Houston (N1iss.) Record.
The ''party leaders" have not attempted
''to force" anybody or anything. The
support of the Union Republican ticket,
or Peace Movement, is plan devised by
the people for their own benefit as a
means of deliverance from Radical mill
tary rule on the one hand, and of saliva
ton from the curse of permanent Radical
reconstruction on the other. We have
never seen so large a Convention as as
sembled in jackson on the 9Th, and vet
we have never witnessed one which con-
tanned so few of the "old party leaders.
The answer to our complaining eotem-
porary is SO well given by the Mobile
Register, which is far enough outside of
our State to take an impartial view of the
matters in issue, and yet near enough to
take correct one, that we will substitute
it for any further observations of our own:
Does not the Houston Record recognize
that individuals as welras people frequently
find themselves surrounded with difficulties
in which there is only choice between two
evils? If so, is it not the obvious part of
prudence to take the least of the two? Now,
in Mississippi there is no earthly hope of
eleoting Democratic ticket in the coming
election. The people, must, therefore, STAY
at home and drift along with blind fatality.
or choose between the moderate Republic
cans and the ultra Jaeobin ticket. Surely
there can be no hesitation in the choice. If
Dent and his party are only a little less Rad
zeal than Alcorn and his troop, every Mis-
sissippian owes it to his State to vote for
them. Half loaf is better than no bread
Anything is better than bowling Jacobin

We observe that measures are being
taken in the different counties to bring
out candidates for the Legislature Again,
we would impress upon our friends the
Importance of selecting strong and avail
able men without reference to the IRON
clad test which, under the recent decision
of the Attorney General, will not
be exaeted. No other standard of
eligibility is to be applied to them
except the 14th Amendment and the
conditions prescribed in the new Consti-
tuition. Acting under this decision as
the rule Of the Administration, and the
true Interpretation of the law, General
Candy hasissued his Order converting the
Legislature of Virginia, and announcing
the election of members who can qualify
under the 18th Amendment, and the
Constitution which was ratified at the late
election.
Under this ruling the list from which
candidates for the Legislature can be
safely chosen, is vastly enlarged. The
people are advised in every locality to
select men who by reason of qualification,
integrity of character, and popularity,
viii most certainly bring victory to the
standard of the party of Equal Rights in
the approaching election-only let them
be sure to make selections of persons who
carFqnalify under the 14th Amendment
and who are willing to make suffrage
uniform in all the States, by ratifying
the 10th Amendment
We note that our friend of the
National Republican, though cOncurring
with us in our construction of the decision
of the Attorney General, has, in the ex-
cess Of his desire to leave no prctext for
factious opposition to the admission ofthe
State BY Congress, suggested the pro-
priety Of adhering to the policy Of select
ing men who can take the iron-clad test.
But we are satisfied that on further con-
sideration, his views viii b 80 modified
rs to advise the selection Of men without
reference to a test not required By thelaw
of Congress, nor exasted BY the Admin
istration, and who cam command the
strongest popular support

After the Administration overruled
Canby's Order that the members elect OF

State officers, would be required 10 take

it is exacted of him as provisional Gov.

A considerable number Of coIored peo-
pie were attracted to Liberty, on Saturday
last by a notice that Messrs. CASTILLO and
Perez (of the Committee of Sixteen no
toriety;) but the Radical orators failing
to come, they were addressed by Colonel
McCloy, in explanation of the issues of
the canvass. He spoke to them as an
original Republican who voted for Ere
mont in 1S56-for Lincoln in 1S6O-and
who served in the Union army from the
beginning to the close of the war-and
who is still a Republican-and warned
them against the wies, wickedness, and
evil designs and tendencies Of the Radi-
cal party as organized in Mississippi. The
effect was all that could be desired.

The statement that it was a favorite
scheme of Gen. Alcorn to secure from
foreign powers the recognition of the in
dependence of the Confederacy on a
pledge of abolishing slavery in twenty
years, and at the expiration of that pc
Rod to repudiate the treaty and thus to
perpetuate slavery, will not be denied.
As man who opposed Judge Yerger's
Union policy-in the Convention of 1860,
and voted for straight-out secession and
who wanted Chinese Wall built be-
tween the North and South so that the
Union could never again be restored;-
and further, as the owner of five hun
dred slaves, and therefore deeply inter-
ested in the institution" proposition
is not so much to be wondered at by those
who act on the principle that the ''end
justiies the means. But the thing which
most amazes us is that the author of such
scheme should be put forward, or should
consent to be put forward, as the chief
agent for the prescription and disfran-
chisement of the Southern people on ac-
count of secession, and of the very institu-
ton for whose perpetuity he was eager to
play so desperate and INSCRIPTIONS a
game.

We do not pretend to give the name OF
the proposed nominee but venture the
suggestion that the following reply sounds
very like our old friend Compton:

The Pilot is very much exercised in
proving that the conservatives in this
State have not always been orthodox on
the subject of Universal Suffrage. 1t is
immaterial what position was formerly
occupied by the conservatives on this sub-
ject. They have no ticket in the field
They are supporting Republicans whose
position has never been questioned.
But what has the carpet-baggers organ
to say in defence of its chief, Ames who
illustrates Universal Amnesty bv throw
ing Republicans out of Office because they
win not affiliate with the Bitter Enders
and who displayed his idea of Universal
Suffrage by declaring that ga negro had
''no more right to vote than horse -
Or of Tarbell, the Secretary of the Rad
ical Committee who published that the
negro was too ignorant and degraded to
exercise properly the privilege Of suffrage.

The DECLINE IN CoTToN. Within
the last month cotton has tumbled down
five cents a pound in price, in conse-
quence of the report industriously circu-
lated by INSCRIPTIONS spectators that
the crop will be largely in excess of last
years. Besides, advantage has been ia
ken of the necessity which has compelled
planters, In order to meet their liabilities
to throw their crops on the market and
sell without regard to prices. Where ac-
commodations have been obtained. fair
dealing demands that they should be met
at any sacrifice; but it is consolation to
know that even the present rates are re-
munerative. Another lesson is here
taught producers of the Importance of
raising their supplies at home. And
then free from debt, they can laugh to
scorn the harpies who are specializing on
their toll.

The letter Of Hon. Henry I. Elicit
formerly of Claiborne county, and late Of

grateful mention of an act of Judge Dent
during the war, illustrative of the eeper-
our nature of the man. Informed that
Judge Ellet was a Mississippian suffering
punishment, though stranger, he ten
dered his influence and his purse for his
relief. He could have had no expecta-
ton Of other reward than the consc;en-
tiousness Of good deed wen performed

came to the aid of Mississippi last winter
and employed his utmost endeavors 70

scheme Of permanent government which
the Radical Extremists were striving 70
fasten upon their necks in defiance Of
