the renovated exteriors of many and old,
and for years untenanted, habitations.
Houses are s%pringing up every where, and
such is the demand for houses, that
scarcely one is to be found unoccupied in
Kingston. Men who never dreamt of
settling in the colony are now buying
properties and making up their mind to
cast in their lot amongst. US. The mer-
chants feel it-feeI the rapid increase in
their business, and they are now busiIy
engaged in making arrangements for the
enlargement Of their credit in England,
and their extension Of heir establishments
in Kingston. Many new houses are spring
ing up, with names altogether new to the
inhabitants, but they belong to men of
means who have being watching the pro-

satisfied that jamaica presents a fine field
for honest and Industrious merchants.
Such a field for honest enterprise is not

FOR ALL sUGAR-CANE PLANTERS
To the Editor of the Reporter.


Dear Sir,-There is before me the first,
number of a new magazine called "IHe
Sugar Cane," published by Calf & Co.,
of Manchester, England, which "aspjres
TO be the medium Of communication betmeen
those directly interested IN the grOwh 0fthe
cane and the manufacture Of Sugar IN all
parts OF the WOrld :" and, as it promises
well from the talent evinced in selecting
matter for the prospectus and first issue,
as, also, from the authorities on, "Sugar"
contributing to its pages, will supply a
decided want for the planters. 1t is to
be hoped that it will be encouraged by
subscriptions and contributions from the
Agricultural Societies and the planters of
Barbados and the neighbouring islands.
Chiefly with the view of giving this new
journal a helping hand, / send you this
Introductory communication on a subject
OF vital Importance to all Sugar-cane
Planters through the world. Every SUI
gar-planter in all parts of the globe is now
aware of the rapid degeneration of the
sugar-cane !; one sort after another failing
to grow with former vigour, or equal sac
charine strength of juice. Changing of
plants from SOIL 10 SOIL, ana The very Su-
perior tilIage of Barbados and fertility of
its land, and of the neighbouring colonies,
has not brought this fact SO much home
to us. But the present product of sugar
from our fields does not compare with the
hard, firm sugar of former days, which,
it is said, would hold together if even the
outside of the cask was removed. Well,
now this degeneration being known and
acknowledged through the world, there
have been, as yet, from various places
the Mauritius, Natal, and from Queensland,
&C., &c.-enquiries for new and better
sorts of sugar-cane j; and, in the French
islands, close to US, the Salangore Cane,
recommended by Mr.. Wray since 1851,
has been introduced with success, and

ed by you, as to selection Of plants and
some practical DarwiniSm being required
to procure good canes and good sugar,
and enough of it. A communication OF
mine was then withheld so as to be more
satisfied before giving publicity to my
ideas on the subject. From reasons con
nected with personal observation and his
tory, &C., of this island, and from the
most attentive consideration and inquiry
as yet in my power +; | do not now hesi-
tate to advise sugar-planters as to a mode
whereby the sugar-cane may be (not Oar
winiscd but simply botanical so as to
renew aud reprod0ce the b.St of sugGr-cane.
[ reserve for a further enc details
showing the accuracy Of what | now
propose. Suffice it, then, to say, that,
as we get varieties of other plants, so will
we get varieties of the sugar-cane, even
by and from the ~SUGAR-CANE SEED. Varl-
cites so produced will speedily tell us
their qualities, and, in the course ofthree
or seven years hence, The sugar-cane,
properly botanized, may be as readily
produced, even to suit every soil aud eli
mate, from it's characterized seed, as it
now is by its plants ; just as wheat, po-
tatots, and even the grape is thus Guilt
waited. But, sugar-cane Seed? No book
on sugar tells US Of it. All the Sugar
books say that the plant will not nOw
seed, or will only give imperfect seed,
and such a seed is quite unknown. True:
but it need not be SO, for any sugar-cane
planter who will allow a sugar-cane plant
to fully ripen and arrow, CHAT is, TO flow
er, as is the natural effort TO: reproduce
ton in every plant before its decay and
on its arrowihg or Towering will then en-
velope the flower or arrow in a muslin
bag until it i fully ripe, and then search
it, will find the seed 10 abundance, if i'm
productive it can be made so by pollen
impregnation, if the produce is not sue
c%essful, it can be crosS-bred or even by
bridized with some other of the grass
species. In fact, it can be botanized, re-
produced, and improved to meet the want
of every sugar-planting country as long
as the sugar-cane produces naturally, or
by force of cultivation, &c, its own SEED
The seed Of the sugar-cane is single,
oblong, pointed, and ripens in the flower,
which, being long, encloseS and. hides the
seed from us, but not from the birds.
The seed has been planted and grown
previously by a Mr.. Clarke in this Island,
but this story was discredited. An acct
dental discovery of natural-grown seed
plants is also on record here, having been
published and shown at our Agricultural
Society's Exhibition, and is beyond any
doubt, as they produced vigorous trans
parent canes. But with this publicity,
and the kind attention of many planters
friends, the question will soon be fully tried

a HALIFAX paper, states,
"That a discussion had recently taken
place in the Senate of the Dominion of
Canada, on the question of postal COM
munication with the West Indies, and the
establishment of a mail service to run
from Great Britain TO newfoundland,
thence to Nova Scotia, and from this Pro-
vince to the West Indies, The plan was
&ketched out by Mr.. Ryan, of Montreal,
vino, it will be remembered, was one of
the Commissioners who visited these Isl
ands in 1866 with the view to encourage
a trade between them and the British
Provinces of North America and both
the deslrableness and the practicability
of the project were dwelt upon with great
earnestness. He argued that it would be
an arrangement of great importance, as
well TO Newfoundland as to Nova Scotia,
New Brunswick, Ontario and Quebec, and
that nothing would operate more ~efftctu-
ally 10 Increase and enhance the value of
the trade of all portions Of the Dominion
than direct communication to the West
Indies and instanced the fact that there
was an extensive trade in fish and lumber
between the North American Colonies
and the West Indies, carried on princi-
pally in vessels built and owned within
the Dominion. The honorable gentle
man next adverted to the fact that fwhen,
in 1866, a commission was sent to the
West Indies, in order to encourage trade
between them and the Provinces of British
North America, the delegates We're met
at every point they visited with the
general complaint of the i~nadequacy of,
and the delays attending, postal commu-
n~ication with what now constitutes the
Dominion of Canada. All this, and the
necessity of it being remedied, is clearly
pointed out in the report Of the Commits
s%ionerS, who went on the mission in
question. In order to show that this sub
ject has not lost its interest IN the British
West India possessions, Mr.. Ryan read q
letter addressed TO the Postmaster Gen
eral Of the Dominion, about a year ago,
by the Hon. +. G. Barr, a member of the
Court Of Policy" of British Guiana, in
which he says
"The route which | am authorized very
respectfully to press on your consideration,
is a monthly line from Halifax Uia Port
land to Barbados and British Guiana.
On the map attached to the Commission

THE Shelbyville American Rescue
learns that g, f. Bowles, "a gen
tleman Of African scent" is, or will
be, a candidate for the Legislature
from Bedford county. That paper
says: "Strenous efforts VIII be
made by the white Radicals TO
keep him off the track, for they
want the offices themselves, but he
knows where his strength lies, and
if he makes the race, as we under
stand he intends doing, we are con-
fident he can beat any white brother
in the field" So far the white
Radicals have succeeded in keeping
the negroes from running for i'm
portant offices, even in counties
where the negro voters are largely
in the ascendant. The negroes
have been doing the voting, while
the white Radicals enjoyed the fat
offices. 1t appears that they have
determined to change the tactics in
some of the counties at least.

rms RADuuAL FIAsoo

The so-called Radical State con-
Yention, the most disgraceful, pro
fame and vulgar assemblage of men
ever congregated in this State to
consider public affairs, came to an
abrupt termination yesterday, after
an Intellectual attempt of two days
to organise. II simply dissolved.
1t was in no sense q Convention.
II had no chairman, no secretary,
and could not trsnsactany business,
1t could not even adjourn. Itmet,
as if by chance, and dispersed from
necessity. Itwas an agglomerate
discord-an inflamed mob, filed
with mean whisky and meaner
passions. 81 1t was a meeting OF
mortal enemies under the guise
of political friendship to di-
vide the spoils Of years of mis-
deeds and crimes. They quarreled
and fought, and called each other
liars and thieves and all manner OF
epithets. Such a congregation OF
vulgar elements, SO fierce, SO bitter
and so reckless was never before
seen in this section of the Union.
This assemblage of Radicals was
called together to counsel Tor the
good of the State, and to present TO
the people person of such fan
name and true patriotism as to be
worthy of them and the State foi
their chief executiYel But it was
a total failure-a gross, base, dirty
failure, without exclamation or eX
cuse.
The people of Tennessee should
take from it a lesson. They should
learn that those who pretend t.
direct public affairs and to guide
public opinion at the present mo
ment, are incompetent to govern
their own actions, or to make de
cent show of self respect. They
are incapable of even assuming
virtue which they would willingl!
profess. They present a spectacle
so beastly and repulsive, that th'
| poorest mind and the vilest hear
cannot have tie audacity to Justify
or palliate.
| What is to follow, we shall bt
constrained to wait to see. There
| will be two Radical candidates
possibly more. What will be tn,
| issue between them we cannot tell
| Neither can claim nomination
for none was made-any amour
of assertion to the contrary.
To the real people of Tennessee
who sustain the burdens of tn
State government we would say
bide your time-attend to your pr
vate affairs-and wait for furthe
developments.

every honest man was speaking out

lions of dollars have been collected
from the ax-payers for school pur-
poses, and yet according to the

been disbursed to the counties toI
schools and to pay county superlh'

school money has been used fol
other purposes, and this does no
include the s61S,250 originally de

permanent school fund. All OF TIM
meney has been DETECTED from 1T
original purpose by Radical OH
Gals, and the taxpayers OF tn
State will have to make up what
ever loss may be sustained by thes
transactions. Why donot the Rad
ical journals demand that this sor
of management of the school fun
be stopped? Why do they not de
mand greater economy in the Stat
government, so that there Will b
no necessity for taking the schoc
money to meet the expenses OF tn

SOCIAL OSFRACIsM.
There is a volume of wisdom in
this paragraph from the Franklin

There is a volume of wisdom in
this paragraph from the Franklin
ReUies0: n
There can be no real solid peace in
the country until every man is allowed
to vote. Radicals may complain OF social
ostraeism until dOomsday, but things will
wag along the same old way, until the
powers that be- arise to their true IN
terests and set the people free. We say
true interests because no sane man can
but believe that the Radicals themselves
would be infinitely better eff with all re-
strictions removed from the people. Let
this be done and there will be an era of
good feeling among all classes.
The Radicals who complain Of
social ostracism seem TO forget that
they have invited it. They have
enacted laws specially to degrade
and render infamous the white men
of this State; the men Of intelli-
gence and moral worth, and who
pay nine-tenths of the taxes neces-
sary to sustain the State government
and carry on our common schools;
and now they complain because
these men will not receive them at
the social board and treat them as
friends and neighbors. What right
had they to expect but such treat.
ment as this2 The liberal Repaid
lican has labored to yemOve
the stigma affixed upon the
white nen of this State who are not
Radicals, have experienced none of
the social ostracism of which the
leading Radicals complain. The
members of the Legislature have
complained bitterly of the fact that
citizens of Nashville of opposite Po-
litical sentiments had shown them
no attentions or courtesy, apparent
ly forgetting that they had invited
this treatment by passing laws TO
prescribe and degrade this people,
while they were at the same time
exercising more than doubtful pow
ers to elevate the negro above
them. The Radicals who still clamor
orpolitical prescription must know
that they invite and will surely IN
cur social ostracism. 1t is worse
than folly to talk of prescribing
men at this day who sympathised
or participated in the rebellion, Tor
they have demonstrated in the four
years since the close OF the
war that they are as good
and law abiding citizens as can be
found in the State; they pay their
taxes and perform whatever duty
the laws require of them. The
excuse set up for the disfranchise OF
these people when the State gov
eminent was recognised, cannot
now be pleaded in justification Of
their continued exclusion, for he
must be a reckless man indeed
who now asserts that they are
dangerous class upon whom these
proscriptivo laws fall. 1t is purely
and simply political prescription
now. Every man in the State is fully
assured that the elective franchise
would at once be extended to every
white man if the Radicals did not
know that such an act would cut
short their lease Of power. As long
