at gives me great pleasure to let you know
that my wheat, upon which applied your
fertilizer, last fall, is very fine. l used it en-
tirely or corn stubble, and it is better than
any ever had or ever saw. 1t will, am
certain, yield over 20 bushels per acre.
l applied it on oats and corn in the spring
using about 200 pounds per acre on each
stiff clay land. The oats will double, think,
while the corn never saw anything to equal
it.
planted about the 10th of May, using q
handful to two hills OF corn, and after it star
ted it seemed incredible to see it grow. 1t is
now waist high, while on highly manured
piece of land by its side it is not over six in

Grants Cabinet.

It seems that Grant has great trouble In set
ting the machine Of Government in notion
He first appointed the wealthy dry goods mer~
chant of New York city, A. L. Stewart, Secre-
tary. The Senate confirmed the nomination
Then it was discovered that the appointment
was in violation Of the law which forbids per-
sons engaged in commerce from holding that
office. Then Grant sent message to Congress
requesting that A. T. Stewart be exempt from
the operation of the law, and that, too, though
he had just said in his inaugural address that
claws are to govern all alike those opposed to
and those in favor of them,' and that he
'knew of no method to secure the repeal of
bad or obnoxious laws SO effective as their stran
gent execution" Then Stewart proposes to
surrender all interest in commerce during the
term Of his office, and to have all the profits of
his business for that time appropriated to char
liable purposes by three trustees, to the poor
of New Y ork city Then Stewart resigns. =
Then Grant withdraws his message asking Stew
art exemption from the operation Of the law,
and then Grant appoints in his place Ex-Gov.
G.. S. Boutwell,, of Massachusetts, Then Grant
appoints Ex-Gov. Hamilton Fish, of New
York, Secretary of State in the place of Il. b.
Washburne and appoints the latter Minister
to France Then he appoints Gen. b. w.
Rawlins, his chief. Staff, Secretary Of war,
in the place of Gen. Schofeld Thus has
Grant had his cabinet dancing jig since he
became the occupant of the white House.

Radical Convention at Petersburg.

We devote q great part OF our space this
week to the proceedings Of the Radical Con-
vention, composed of black spirits and white
which assembled in Petersburg on Tuesday,
the 9th inst, to nominate a State ticket. 1t
will be observed that they nominated for the
office of Lieut. Governor nau1atto by the name
of Harris, thus showing whittier that party is
rapidly drifting. The proceedings, as might
have been expected from the character of those
who composed it, were of the most disgraceful
character, and presented a scene unprecedented
in the history of this State.
The negroes, it is due to them to say, be-
haved better than the whites who sat side by
side with them, mingled together like black
and white pigs in litter. This smile We are
aware is not just to the pigs. 1t is not at all
surprising that the negroes should behave bet
ter than their white allies, for the former are
governed by some principle-the latter by the
want of it. The whites in the Convention cared
not fig about the negro, but wished to appro-
pirate the spoils of office, and use the negro as
the monkey did the cat.
The proceedings, as they really occurred, are
indescribable-the beggar description They
pulled and hauled each other, and behaved SO
badly that the Mayor of the city-hlmself a
Radically the aid of his strong police force,
dispersed the Convention, driving it out Of the
church, even before it was organized by the
election of temporary chairman.
The scene presented by forty thousand tom
cats tied by the tails to each other in garnet,
splitting, spluttering, cater-wauling, scratching,
biting, making the fur fly like thousand
twanging bows in a hatter-shop, would be
peaceful and harmonious as compared with that
enacted in this Convention.
Wells, the so-called Governor of Virginia,
was there working for himself like beaver
For the first time in the history of Virginia
politics, says the Lynchburg Nrgiaaan, ''aman
occupying the gubernatorial chair, and a cam
didate, we will not say for re election, but for
continuance therein, was present, advocating
his own cause, and actually melting to the dis
graceful scenes that compelled the civil author
tiles to intervene and dispense the rufhans !
We repeat it no such disgraceful scene was
ever witnessed in Virginia until now Yet,
when we consider what hands our politics have
fallen into it is not surprising. A set OF Bow
cry boys, Five Pointers, Plug Uglies and Wood
en- Nutmeg Yankees-all adventurers-united
with negroes and scalawags, have taken it upon
themselves to run the machine" in this State.
1t is no wonder, therefore, that they cut fan
tastic tricks and enact the role of the bull in
the china shop. But it is astonishing that any
Virginian, respectfully connected, will SO far
compromise himself and friends, as to identify
himself with such a set We are utterly
amazed: and can only hope that if any gentle
manly instincts are left to them, they will be SO
deeply disguised with the acts of the Zebra
Convention, that they will shrink from any
further connection with such disreputable
party.'

whiskey ring, and defending men who were
cheating the United States ofitsjust revenue.
We also learn that Wells has been trying to sell
out the Virginia and Tennessee railroad to out
siders by which he would have put over a
million Of dollars in his pocket
The most astonishing item, however, which
the Michigan Governors late friends have
brought to light is his connection with the let.

How the white Trash" treat the Ne
grOeS

Time and again we have warned the negroes
that those white men who have been protesting
to be their special friends, and who have par
ticipated in their meetings and talked glibly of
political equality regardless of trace, color or
previous condition Of servitude," have been
using them as the monkey did the cat. when
he pulled the roasted chestnuts from the hot
embers with the cats paw. They will learn at
ter awhile that we have been telling them the
simple truth. The action of this class of whites
at this time ought to be sufficient to convince
the most stolid negro. The negroes constitute
nine tenths of the Radical party of this State,
and if the white Radicals were disposed to treat
them fairly and justly they would be willing to
allow the negroes to hold that proportion of
the Offices at the disposal Of their party. But
instead of this, they meet in Convention where
four candidates for Office are to be nominated,
and they nominate three white men and one
mulatto, instead Of nominating three negroes
and one white man, and then because this mu>
latto, though only half negro, and though ed
ucated, receives the nomination for one of the
four Offices, the white Radicals turn up their
noses in disgust, secede from the Convention,
repudiate its nominations, and issue call for
another Convention.
1t will be observed that the Radical State
ticket is just as it was before except that for
the office of Lieut. Governor the name of DR..
Harris (mulatto) has been substituted for that
of Clements who labored in vain to get up
step higher on the ticket and to occupy Wells's
shoes. These white Radicals say that Harris
will cause the defeat Of the ticket, and to save
their party, they will nominate another ticket
of more respectable Republicans" hoping
that the Conservatives will assist them to elect
it. The Conservatives, however, who consti-
tute nineteen twentieths of the white voters Of
the State, have an excellent ticket of their own
The Baltimore Gazette says that the reds
tribution of military commands at the South il
palpable concession made by President Grant
to the carpet bag element Of that section, ane
to the ultra Radicals in Congress and at the
North The transfer of Sheridan to Louisiana
of Reynolds to Texas, and of Terry to the De
partment now commanded by Meade; the re
moval of Stoneman from Virginia, and the sub
