TO Preserve Sweet Potatoes.

Mr.. Wright Lennon says in COM
munication TO the Carolina Farmer.
"When the usual season Of the year
arrives for housing potatoes, / com
mence digging in the morning and
continue until as many have been
turned out as can be conveniently Sc
cured during the evening. Leaving
them to sun during the day, unless the
sun is shining hot enough to burn
them, (Which is not common at this
seasOn.) Then having selected and
prepared an elevated spot of ground
sufficiently dry TO be secure from wa
ter-sob during the wet season OF win
ter, and covered the same with coat
of pine straw to prevent any damp
ness from the ground or earthly taste,
l put them in bulks or banks, con-
tanning from forty to sixty bushels.
When the quantity l design for one
bank is thus piled up, cover full
eight inches deep in pne straw, and
leave them to sweat from one to three
nights, being careful to keep dry dur
ing the time from rains. now bank

"NOw protect the whole bank we'll

have succeeded in this plan, without
a single failure, for twenty-five years,
and when strictly observed, commend
it to all as perfect certainty. The
plan was communicated to me by the
late Colonel Renan, of Robson coun-
ty, who has practiced it successfully
for many years. The reason seems tc
be that this deep banking in the morn
ing, while they arc cool, places them
beyond any changes of heat or cold.
A light coat of dirt put OH at any
hour of the day will heat, and the
deep banking in the evening, when
the potatoes have in them the warmth
of the days sun, will heat, but the
deep morning banking will certainly
keep them. No weather, after the
potatoes are fit to dig, is too hot to
preserve them on this plan.'

A Senatorial Iiumpuss

On the 18th of February, Sat Clark,
Of copperhead hotoriety, availed himself
of an opportunity presented by bill al
lowing soldiers claim against the state
for back pay, to vent his virus upon the
Republican party, and the supporters OF
the late war in general, in manner in
sulting and reasonable peculiar to him
and his political consorts. Among many
TIER thugs, he reiterated the common
boast of his party, that he never voted
a man or dollar for the unconstitution,
al war, and he never would" that he
had "seen Grant drank more than
hundred times" that Grant and Butt
Ter and Sherman and Stanton and other
Northern Generals were responsible for
the horrors Of AndersonvilIe, Belle Isle,
Libby and salisbury prisons, and not
the people of the South as had been so
often charged; that the Republican
party that elected Esq johnson Vice
President and the drunken inebriate
Grant, President, was a party OF drunk
ards y and many other such yillanous
lalsehoods After the conclusion OF
Clark's TRADE, Senator Williams, of Rock
County, rose, and replied in. "A speech

Our latest advices announces the dll-
ference Of value between one dollar
yreenback and gold dollar to be only
elerea cents, with prospect that the
difference will soon be less. For all
practical purposes the country has re-
,orned to specie payment Within few
month, we confidently expect gold and
silver to become circulating currency,
instead of being a marketable commodl-
ty Looking for the causes that have
brought about this result which the
most sanguinc did not hope to see for
year or two yet, we can see none SO
prominent as these two: "The implicit
confidence of the people in the integrity
of the government which has, by the
Republican party pledged its honor to
pay its debts in coin aud the sending
back from Europe large quantity Of
gold to purchase the cotton crop of the
South
The effect Of this unexpected change
Of value in our paper money will be un.
doubleday to relieve the present stringen'
cy OF money, Soon silver will begin 10
flow as change, then gold will follow
and circulate. The silver and gold
which thus come forward as currency to
the amount of hundred millions or
more, will be so much added to our cur
rency circulation, and must produce n
looscning of the tins. Temporarily
there may be some embarrassment among
capitalists. Bus ness men having pur
chased goods at high prices, will be com
PEELED to mark them down, and must suf,
fer some loss. The change will be to
the advantage of laboring men for a short
time at least, for n reduction Of wages
will not be made until things become
somewhat settled and his living will be
cheaper.
The general final result will be bless
ing to the entire country, and for time
succeeding resumption, we shall see such
bright times as few anticipate. stabili-
ty in money matters relieves enterprise
Of nearly all its uneasiness. The great
resources Of the country can be de9el-
opcd without the slightest fear; for
money is not only the measure Of wealth,
but also tina regulator of industry and

The agitation Of shis question does
not diminish. The "dear creatures
will not down at bidding" They have
taken the floor and whether in order or
out of order, will be heard.
Several days ago we saw an announce
ment that bill proposing to submit the
question to the people Of this State had
been introduced in our legislature, and
have watched closely to see some action
taken on it, but in vain. Now we do
not propose to commit the TRIBuNE for
or against the proposition of letting
women vote, but we iearlessy @ pro-
pose that our State shall follow the
example of Minnesota, "a submit the
question to the people, and allow the
women to vote upon it. Or rather we
would say, submit it to the women them
selves, for instance thusly: Let us at
the next falls election have two ballot
boxes at every election poll in the State,
in one Of which let the women put their
ballots, "Ior' or against female suf.
trnge, and in the other box let the CORDS
vote the regular ticket We won have
the matter generously ADVERT lcd SO
that no one might fail to know what was
going on; and we would have every man
consider himself a committee of one to
bring oul his wife, mother, sister, cousin
and sweetheart and have her vote Then
if q majority Of such votes be for the
proposition, we say let them Suffrage.
