and Indiana in 1865:
RESOLUTIONS OF RADICAL STATE CONvEN-
TON, HELD AT COLUMBUS, MARCH 1,
1865, REPORTED BY FRED. HAssAUREK,
CHAIRMAN COMMITTEE ON RESOLUTIONS.
Resolved, That the Republican party
pledges itself to the faithful payment Of
their public debt according to law and
we hereby express our conviction that,
according to the laws under which the
five.twenty bonds were issued, said
bonds should be paid in the currency Of
the country, which may be a legal-ten-
der when the government shall be pre-.
pared to redeem such bonds.
"Resolved, That we heartily approve
the policy OF Congress in stopping the
contraction of the currency, aud believe
that the issue of currency should be
commensurate with the industrial and
commercial interests Of the people"

ArACKNG firm in Keokuk, Iowa,
writes TO a Memphis house engage
ed in the provision trade, that our
State tax of one and a half per
cent. (known as the merchants
tax, is all that has prevented them
from making heavy shipments of
hams to Memphis. They gave
other markets where no such tax is
imposed the preference. This tax
has been a serious injury TO
trade, while it has added but little
to the revenue of the State. The
fact stated by the Keokuk packers
is a very important one for the con-
sideration of the Legislature. 1t
clearly demonstrates the necessity
for modification of the tax.

ONE Of the resolutions adopted
by the New York Radical State
Convention says: eve deeply sym
pathise with all people every where
who are downtrodden and OPP
pressed by a privileged class or by
unjust rule"
We presume that the people of
Virginia, Georgia, Mississippi and
Texas, will feel especially grateful
and be greatly cheered by this kind
expression of sympathy from the
Radical party of New York. After
this utterance from the Radicalism
Of the Empire State, Congress GER
tainIy will not longer keep those
States out in the cold.

SWEDISH IMMIGRANFs.

1t is stated that a colony of
Swedes numbering about six hun
dred and fifty, have purchased
large tract of land in the vicinity of
Water Valley, Miss. An install
ment of fifty-fve passed through
Knoxville few days ago on their
way to their new home in Mississ
sippi. They were in charge Of an
agent, who came direct from Sweden
with them, and is going to return
Immediately for additional REIN
forcements to the colony. The
agent says any number of valuable
emigrants can be secured for the
South there by sending over agents
to make proper representations to
them. They know but little about
the South, and need information.
But when they arrive at New York,
without previous arrangements, it
is almost impossible to divert them
from the great current going west
ward. The Atlanta Iutelligencer
of the Sd inst. says:
ave had the pleasure on yesterday
morning of meeting and conversing with
Mr.. Charles Linn, of Montgomery, who
was on his way home, carrying with him
forty.s six Swedish laborers that he had
brought with him from Finland. There
| appeared to be a little over half the num-
Der males. The rest young, robust,
healthy women. Mr.. Linn informed US
that none Of them were over twenty
eight, and that they were all unmarried.
He told us that it would cost him about
one hundred dollars each, in gold, when
he landed them in Montgomery. Mr..
Linn stated that the government objected
to his bringing off their people, and that
numbers Of them were afraid Of coming
to this country, dreading snakes, wild
animals, etc. He states that it is almost
impossible to bring laborers from the
old country to New York, and get them
South that it is much better to land
them at Charleston. Mr.. Linn is from
Sweden originally, but has long been
resident of Montgomery. These laborers
he brought out for himself and friends"
Tennessee has had an immigration
Commissioner in the field for two
or three years, and his services
have resulted in very little benefit
to the State. If we are to have a
commissioner in future, it would be
decidedly better to send him to Eu-
rope to operate there. And it is
questionable whether that would

THE LEGIsLATURE AND THE FIJI
TENTH AmEEDNENT

The Washington Chronicle Of the
LIST inst says of the Legislature of
Tennessee:
I'VE regard the rejection of the ff-
teenth amendment as certain, although
it will have to be effected by violation
of faith that may not sit well on the
stomachs of the men who made so many
pledges in its favor to get Republican
votes. 1t is only remotely possible that
enough may be found to recognize the
covenant ..g.#
The fifteenth amendment was not
an issue in the canvass for members
of the Legislature, and we doubt
whether a single Senator or Repre-
sentative is pledged to vote for the
ratification of that amendment, GER
tainly not those to whom the
Chronicle refers. There can be no
possible violation of faith" in the
refusal of the Legislature to ratify
the amendment. The issue of the
late canvass was the enfranchise-
ment of the white men Of the State.

nAD.OALrsnr In NEW rosK.

The Radical State Convention Of
New York, which was held last
week, adopted platform on which
the Times says the party will
':heartily rally" The corresponds
ent of that paper says: "The reso-
lutions were received with great
enthusiasm, and adopted unani,
mously and without debate" In
the first of those resolutions we
find: "That the public debt, both
principal and interest, shall be paid
in coin as the samematures." They
further resolve:
That every American citizen, whether
naturalized or native, should have an
equal right TO the suffrage without regard
to nation, race or religion.
This swallows the Chinese, pig
tails and ali. E1sf5ss
Then, as a matter Of course, they
! Resolved, That the fifteenth amend,
ment to the constitution of the United
States, as proposed, ought to be adopted.
/ "A correspondent who was pres>
emit says that the resolution relating
to the payment of the public debt
in coin was received with ''hearty
APPLAUSE viii the people who
have to pay the public debt, the
people who receive their pay In

proposition comes before the peo-

plause from the gold gamblers and

conspiracies to run gold up until it
takes ever one dollar and sixty
cents of the money you pay us to
buy one dollar of the money we
have to pay you. Away If this
is Radicalism we will have mono of
it?" Then there will be wailing and
crashing of teeth in Wall street

THE CUBAN POLICY OF THE SPAN
ISL REGENCY.

The Washington correspondent
of the New York Journal of Cons
merce writes that q dispatch from
Gen. Sickles which was read at the
cabinet meeting on the oath ult.,
stated that Spain requests the
United States not TO press the ne
gotiations to an altimatum at pres
emit Gen. Sickles was verbally in
formed that the government of the
Regent are willing to concede the
independence of Cuba upon terms
which will be satisfactory both to
Cuba and the United States, but
that to do this at present would be
inconsistent with Spanish honor.
Spain does not decline the media
ton of the United States, or reject
the propositions of our gov
eminent, but still holds them,
presenting meanwhile the foregoing
request, and will probably hold them
till a settlement of the question
is reached. According to General
Sickles the present rulers of Spain
have been willing all along to free
Cnba, and have told him SO, but
have not yet agreed upon the
terms. The Spanish mind is now
excited by newspaper reports of
American influence, and by inAam-
matory comments thereon, the eff
feet of which must be allowed to
wear off to some extent before the
time will be favorable for making
the bargain. The Washington
writer states that the impression
among the heads ofour government
is that Cuban independence is only
a question of time, and that time
very short time. The
Journal of Commerce says
editorially; "This news has not
been surpassed in Importance for
Cuba by any since the outbreak of
the instruction. 1t gives a fresh
infatuation, if any were needed, to
the stories Of a clean back down
of General Sickles' petition to the
Regent for permission to withdraw
his note, and other sensational i'm,
aginations. The proposition will no
doubt be regarded by many as
device to cheat both Cuba and the
United States, and to palm off upon
the island a Spanish consol in
place Of prompt payment of the
debt of liberty. This, however,
is 3 conclusion which should
not be hastily adopted. The
moderation and sound judg-
ment which Marshal Serrano has
displayed where he has been person
ally brought into the foreground;
Gen. Prim's early reputation of
the French scheme of conquest in
Mexico and the full appreciation
with which the event stamped his
course the influence in the Spanish
cabinet Of one or two sincere be |
ievors in the free consent of the |
governed as the basis Of govern
ment; and finally the thoroughly |
practical character of Gen. Cabal-
lero dc Rodas, upon whose conf
Dental reports the ministry must
largely form their Judgment of
events in Cuba-.all these are argu-
ments in favor of the sGpposition

Trausplanting in Autumn.

Tho question is often asked -
What is the best timo in Autumn
to set out trees? Can we do it
while the leaves are yot green, or
wait till near Winter, after they
have fallen ? Tho answer may
TO, do it whenever tho work can
bo we'll done, and while the soil is
in proper condition as to drynoss
for working properly. If done
early, tho leaves must be all first
carefully stripped of, to prevent
the rapid evaporation Of moisture.
We have known trees ID have
entirely spoiled in u few hours by
willing, from carelcssness in not
removing tho leaves when taken
up. In the Northern States, nur-
serymcn usually commence dig"
ging by tho first of October.
Some trees have entirely ceased
growing by this time, including
generally cherries, plums, and
standard pears. If the leaves are
removed. they may now be taken
mp aud tsansplantcd, as well as at
any time in Autumn orthc follow.
ing Spring. Others have not
fully completed the ripcning Of
tho young wood, which is effected
through the assistance Of the
leaves. The only harm done in
taking them up at this time, is in
giving nnmaturcd shoots on some
parts OF tho trees, instead Of those
well ripencd and hardened, and
the result will be that some Of
the tips may be nippcd by the
f'rosts of Winter, or they will not
start in Spring with so much Ger
tainty and vigor. Hardy kinds,
such as the apple, will not be much
injured in this way; and the peach,
although tender, should be short
cncd back in Spring in any case,
1t will bo safe, therefore, with Il
few exceptions. to take up trees
any time after tho first Of October
-carc being taken to do the work
well rs already indicated.
The soil should bo in such con-
dition as to be casilymadc fine and
mellow. so That It may bo filled in
perfectly among the roots with,
out having intcrsticcs. Stalking
against wind, or ctfccting the
same purpose by amound ot'carth,
aboat the stem, should not be
omitted.
We have never succeeded hct.
ter, than by taking up trees about
mid dAntumn hccIing them in by
hurying tho roots and half the
stems for Wintcring, and setting
out early in Spring, They, how
@ ',r, do qlitc as w,ll set out in
Autumn, provided they arc hardy
sorts: and the site is not q windy
one. In hccling in for Winter, il
is absolutely essential to fill in all
the intcrsticcs among tho roots
very compactly with fine Garth. -
Many trees arc nccdlcssly lost by
carcIcssncss in this Particular
The roots arc injured by dryncss
or mouldincss, and tho mice find
easy access among cavities. re
exclude mice effect ually, the heel
ing ground should be clean and Il
