made no decision regarding the eight'honr

is closed at last. Three years and eight
months after the execution of Mrs. Mary
F.. Surratt, who was sent to the gallows
within twenty four hours after the trial by

decision of the Supreme Court of the United
States, had no jurisdiction in her case, and
upon evidence which no fair. minded man
now looks upon as sufficient for her couvic-
ton, her inanimate body has been released
from its imprisonment The grave has
given up its dead-the sole measure of
atonement, in all probability, which will be
yielded to the memory of an innocent and
murdered woman till that awful hour when
all graves shall give up their dead, and
when small and great, subjects and rulers,
the shedders of innocent blood and their
helpless victims, shall stand at tribunal

FRIDAY MORNING, FEBRUARY 70, 1869.
The Utilization of Nodu1ar Phospha1as.


Since the discovery of these deposits, in
vast quantity. in the vicinity of Charleston,
whatever relates TO their use possesses o
very high interest to the community. NJ.
Adolphe Robierre, ON agricultural writer of
eminence, makes several statements in q
late number ofthe Journal dsPAsriculture, of
Paris, which may be worth reproducing in
our newspapers He says that " every
thing which contains phosphoric acid in
any quantity is now the object of serious
and generally profitable application. Guano
is obtained from the giddy heights of the
mountain peaks, in sight of the coast of
Bolivia, while in the Ardenncs (Fraace) it
is found worth while to remove sixty or
more metres Of argillaceous earth to obtain
q ton of phosphate nodules, which when
washed and pulverizcd rival bone-black."
He recognizes the use made of these stone
guanos in England, through their conversion
by sulphuric acid into superphosphstes
but maintains that these preparations are
defective in consequence of the loss of the
sulphuric acid,-to which he might have
added, the cost of the manipulation in its
application. He says that they have tried
the use of the nodular phoephntes in France,
Without such trea' ment by acids, and claims
that it hos been attended with success. The
stone has only TO be reduced to fine pow
der, and in this state, after considerable
exposure to the action of the air, it is fit 10
be applied directly to such soils as require
phosphoric acid, the fossil phosphates be-
coming perfectly assimilated, 1t is true
he does not say that this will altogether
happen during the first year after such ap-
pllcation. II is probably to be understood,
as requiring several years for its full ac
complishment. lie, nevertheless. makes
further statement which has striking sig
niicance, viz: "-4 mizture Of fossil phcspAafes
'sith ordinary manure sields the most admirable
results, even in the case Of old culipated lands.
Lex JuM oHty uhoPt "e huote W s'"o~"J
fossil phosphates under the ANIMALS; nothing
more is required"
Should experience in this country gus
tain the views of NJ. Robierre, new use of
our phosphate nodules will be created.
The finely pulverized stone, by itself, will
become commercial commodity, of which
the farmer, who has the means, and with
whom it is On object gradually to raise his
lands to high and permanent fertility,
will make an extensive use in the prepara-
tion of heavy manures and composts. There
is no doubt, however, that in the present
impoverished condition of the Southern
farmer, his chief reliance will continue to
be upon the highly nitrogenized super
phosphates, as now manufactured since
the use of these insure him qnick and safe
return for his investment.

Mrs Myra Clark Gaines anu the Cres'
cent City.

New Orleans, which has for SO many
years accustomed itself to consider the suit
of Mrs General Gaines sort of romance,
is about discovering it to be reality, ,and
very serious one at that. Mrs. Gaines
holds the key of the position, she has passed
the skirmish lines of the courts, high and
low, and is now in ON attitude to demand
an unconditional surrender. This lady's
claims, with interest for thirty-four years,
cover real estate to the amount of more
than two and onc-half millions, which sum
she can recover from the present possessors
or from the city, The municipality is liable
as warrantor of all lands sold under the
title before 1856 but it is claimed that the
purchasers Of the Gaines property bought
under cloudy title, paying less than a
sound price aud accepting the risk In
this complicated state of affairs, Mrs
Gaines shows herself considerate con-
queror. She proposes to save the city and
al interested parties from expensive and
tedious litigation by executing her deed for
the whole tract in question, reserving two
squares, one for herself and the other for
an orphan asylum, if the city will pay her
S1,600,00O. Considering that this sum is
nearly million less than she can justly
claim, the proposition appears fair and
generous. The city attorney and the COM
mittee of the co-pril. however, seem 10th TO
accept the situation but can they do bet
