IL a recent letter to the people Of
Georgia, Mr.. ALEXANDER H. STE
PHENs says:
We should obey the laws and the
Constitution rs they stand. We
should offer no violent opposition TO
The authorities; but, while Obeying
them, no affected approval should be
given Of anything We believe to be
wrong. The ballOt-bOX, much as il
has been abused, is still potent for the
cure Of political evils. To ii we should
look for a restoration Of liberty. We
should cooperate only with those who
recognize the sovereignty Of local self
government by the people in their re-
spective commonwealth - whether
these call themselves Democrats or by
any other nomenclature. BY such a
course, the day Of redemption may
finally arrive. But it can never come
in any other way. The principle of
local self-gOvernment, "a a sovereign
right, was the foundation Of American
Independence. Massachusetts was
the first u start ii. And the cry re-
sponded from all the colonies: "The
cause Of Boston is the cause Of US ALL"
Even i, refusing selEdegradation, we
pass agdin under military rule, another
continental cry, sooner or later, may
surge over the land: The cause or
GeOrgiQ Is the cause Of as dH.'"
Nothing surely is to be made by
bowling TO the abuses and wrongs Of
the GROWING victory" by which
The enemies OF the Southern peopIe
seek to make late slaves masters and
late master aves. The "crowninp
victory" is the crOwning Radical ont
rage. 1t is the wrong which grew out
Of it in Georgia 10 which BIr. STE-
PHENs advises his people to give ono
affected approval" 1t is that and its
consequences, TO sum all in one word.
which he means by reference to it as
what we believe 10 be wrong" In
Georgia, where the people are under
force, he advises submission TO these
iniquities WithoH approving them. But
in Tennessee, where the people are
free, and have the power to govern
themselves, care advised voluntarily
to 60 under the barbaric negro rule!

WE had hoped that Col. STEPHENS
would consent to a seat in the Con-
vention, if he should be nominated
and elected thereto; but, understand
ing that he has found it necessary and
finally determined to decline, we are
glad to know we have other good
men, who, though they may be I'M
willing to announce themselves as
candidates, would not so far dis
regard the wishes of the people
as to refuse their services in
the event they should be Sc
lected for so important a service as
that Of revising the Constitution Of
the State. Among these we believe
that Col. LANDON c. HAYNES is one
who Will, in that event, consent to
serve. We have not a better quail
fed, or more suitable, able and trust
worthy man in the city. HE'S a man
Of highly conservative character, and
one who would be the last to make
extraordinary and Injurious innova-
tons. He has had large experience
in public matters, has the sound
views Of wise craftsmanship, has
rare powers as an acknowledgement
in thought and in action, and will
have as much influence for good in
the Convention as any man we can
find TO send to it. We should at least
have one such man Of experience in
the Convention, Of the three to be
elected. Col. J. 3. HEIsRELL, we are
informed, declines serving. He would
make an excellent selection if he would
serve. With one or two such men on
the ticket, it might, for the rest, be
quite as well TO run one Of our rising
young men as any. OF these we hear
favorable mention made of Col. JOHN
W. DAWSON and Col. J. J. DUBosE,
either Of whom, we are told, would
serve If elected.

Concerning this very important operation
the New York Observer says;
In the days of Puritan grandmothcrs no
girl was considered fit to receive proposals OF
marriage until she could make a good hem-
lock broom but in these later times many a
young girl not only offers herself in the mat
rimonia market, but absolutely gets married,
and undertakes to manage her honsc, without
knowing how to use broom that some one
else has made. We have seen a broom used
so unskilfully that one would think the per-
son engaged in using it was endeavoring to
transfer the dust from the floor to the furni.
turc.
II requires some science, or ut least skill,
TO use a broom we'll To do this skiliully,
the handle should incline forward and not
back If the top Of the broom inclincs for
ward beyond the part next the floor, it will
prevent much Of the dust from rising into the
air, and will carry it along 10y gentle sliding
motion toward the place where it is to be
disposed Of If on the other hand, the handle
Of the broom inclines backward, the dust is
sent in the air by kind Of jerk to the de-
trimeut Of everything in the apartment
More than this, it wears Of the threads Of the
carpet quicker, Injuries the paint more, if the
floor is uucarpctcd, and destroys the broom
sooner than if the sweeping is done in ration
al way. A brush of bristlcs is always better
to sweep a carpet, as it is less liable to " kick
up q dust" or to iniurc the texture of the
carpet.

The best method Of using stable or barn
yard manure for corn or potatoes, is to haul
It fresh from the cellar in the condition in
which it rests in the vaults, spread it upon
the plowed field, and harrow it in with a
Geddes harrow That is what is called
long manure" aud is form which, Accord
ing to the opinions Of many farmers, is uH-
suited to immediate use also, it is objected,
that in spreading fresh manure upon plowed
fields and covering it oLly specifically with
earth, much Of 1t is lost by craporati0Hi or,
more correctly speaking certain volatile gas
eous constituents rise on the breeze aud are
waited away. In our view, both Of these mo-
tions are incorrect. The cxcrcmeut of anl-
mails must undergo a kind Of fermentation, or
putreiactive change, before 10 Is assimilatcd

Conn FoDDER.-Cattlo and horses will eat
corn leaves and husks well they will eat al
most the whole of the toppings, but unless il
is cooked they will not eat all the butt stalks.
However, if cut up and soaked, they will eat
a good portion of them, especially if busted
with a little meal or oil-cake What they re-
fuse is worth, we presume, half as much as
manure as it would be if eaten The immense
waste of feeding corn fodder on the ground is,
that but comparatively small part is eaten,
and the rest is utilized as manure to but a
small extent. Corn fodder, sown for the pur-
pose, should be cut as close as possible, bound
in small bundles, with new rye straw, and set
up against rails laid on crossed stakes, or in
erotehes against fence, or in open shocks, to
dry. 1t will not mould enough to hurt it un.

REcLAmINa MEADows.-The most profta.
bic labor a farmer can engage in, after the
hsying season is over, is to pillow and drain
low or meadow lands, manure them and seed
down to grass. Full remuneration for cost
and labor is often received in the crop the
succeeding season. For several years we
have been engaged in this work, and have
found no kind of labor upon the farm pay so
promptly and generously as this. Last YEAR
We had small piece Of meadow, one and n
half acres, which had lain for many years
worthless; it is full Of hassocks, PUSHES wire
grass, stumps and rocks-a miserable waste

The WAY for Shocking Corn.

The following simple and practical plan
for stocking corn, with not little saving OF
time, and the additional pleasure of making a
clean job, has been handed US by an old far.
mer Of Bennington, with a request that it be
published"
Take hard wood stake about six feet long
and say two inches through at the butt, and
one at the top, and bore two hall-nch, or five.
eighth holes, at right angles say four feet from
the large end Then shave rods Of tough.
straight-grained ash or oak about three feet
long, so that they can be easily thrust through
these holes Shave the stake smoothly, and
when the stack is to be made, strike the butt
end, sharpened for the purpose, into the
ground and then put the shaved rods half
their length through the holes bored for the
purpose.
You now have a stake for the center, and
four right angles, extending eighteen inches
from the stake, for the reception of the corn
Now you can 90 to work boldly aud cut and
set into the angles, without any fear of its
falling down.-Cut the corn up clean if you
choose, and then you will not need corn
knife, when you take it from the field Or
you may put the stake in standing hill
When you have cut enough hills for stock
land | think fifteen is enough,) pull out the
rods and lift the stake out Of the stock
aud carry it forward and thrust it into the
ground in readiness for the next stock, and
so on. If the ground is hard aud stony, the
bottom Of the stake should be shod with steel
and then it will last many years.
The substance Of this article | have taken
from a recent article in the Hearth and Home
and it struck me with such force, that | went
to work and made stake and rods as !
have stated. To-day have been cutting
corn, and have tried it faithfully. 1t cost
me two or three hours to make it, and told
the man that worked with me that | would
not sell it for fire dollars, provided | could
not make another. Any farmer with an are
drdping-knge and anger, and a little
common sense can make one
Try it, farmers, and you will say tie lalt

KEEP YOUR ASHES FOR MANURE. The
american Agricmturia says " Wood ashes
make one of the most valuable fertilizers
within the reach of the farmer. The I'M
leached article has the more potash but the
leached is thought to be as valuable. In
teaching they shrink good deal, and lime is
usually added, which increases their value.
They are generally sold, too, at less price.
Ashes are well suited to all farm crops, and
are very beneficial in the fruit-yard and
orchard Most farmers sell wood in the cities
and villages, and rather than 60 home empty
they carry back ashes and other fertilizers, to
replace the potash, lime, and phosphoric acid
that have been carried off in the crops and
animals sold. Ashes show immediate effects
from their application and at the same time
last long in the soil They are very highly
appreciated in the onion-growng districts,
but may be applied with equal advantage to
ordinary farm crops. They should be kept
as near the surface as possible, spread and
narrowed into the seed-bed, or applied directly
to the growing crops. Make business Of
saving, buying and storing ashes during the
winter for the next seasons operations.
