conversation with Congressinena and Others,
gave most emphatic contradiction to the
stories of outrages. They say, in some
instances, they have trivial founda-
ton, but are magnified almost beyond
belief by the time they reach Washing
ton, and they add that these are but a
part of scheme gotten up by the op-
ponents of the present State officers in
Tennessee to induce Congress to turn the
latter out. The latter representations
come from Republicans who have been
temporarily in the State.

KEvELs ATTRACTS A CROWD.


WASHINGTON, March 1.-THE publica-
ton in the morning papers here that Mr..
Rcycls, colored, was to speak in the Sen
ate on the Georgia bill to-day, filled the
galleries TO jam with the most noted and
at the same time most nondesUript crowd
that has ever been seen in the Senate wing
Of the Capitol. The Diplomatic Gallery,
which was crowded by the foreign Minis
tiers and the ladies of their households, re-
splendent in gay attire, was the only
place sacred from the presence of the
colored man and brother, his wife and
children. There has never been a more
amusing scene than was presented. Be-
side ladies of the most fashionable set
were the burliest sort of negroes and negro
women, dressed in all sorts of costumes,
many of them presenting anything but
tidy and attractive appearance. The
whole circle of the galleries looked like a
mammoth mud-puddle, speckled with
backberries. The visitors remained quiet
for an hour OF two, when it was whisper
ed around that Revels would not speak to-
day, aud the crowd melted away.
The recently discovered sulphur mines
in Louisiana have figured in a novel law
suit. The owners OF the land claimed all
the sulphur, because they leased the prop
crty only for the purpose of boring for
oil, and the courts have decided that the
two parties shall share alike in the sulphur.
The Virginia Land, Loan and Trust
Company is composed of leading Virgin

capitalists, it is said, are interested. The
plan is TO buy large TRACTS, say 100, 900
acres, and put ON them farmers from
England and emigrants from other parts
of Europe.
The GAINESVILLE (Wis.) Gazette says
there is in that city, at the present time,

there, had four daughters of manageable
age, all of whom were married at the
residence of their parents on the same
evening, the ceremony being performed
by the father of the brides.

st nine o'clock this morning a dispatch
was received at the Associated Press Office,
explicitly announcing the arrival of the
City of Boston. The news created most
profound excitement Business was almost
entirely suspended in the Stock Exchange

gather the particulars, which were entirely

announcing the arrival out of the City OF

ARMY CONSTITUTIONAL standing army
rs a great burthen to the producing and
laboring population. In France, it is
charged, The high price Of flesh for food
is caused and maintained by the army,
which consumes, according TO regulation,
2O7 head of cattle daily. Even this large
amount of beef seems but trifling sup-
ply for 40, 600 persons. The soldier not
only consumes, but fail to produce. Fancy
what change it would make in agricul-
ture, in the number of cattle raised, and
in the prices of necessaries, were those
non-producers all engaged in labor.

THE following story is told by the Mid
dletown Conn Sentinel and Witness:
'Gn the Revolutionary war there was
sergeant of the name of Arnold. On an
occasion of the troops being reviewed by
Baron Steuhen-whO was great discl-
plinarian-the name of Arnold was called.
The Baron inquired of the commander if
he had one in the ranks that bore the
name of that arch-traitOr. The reply
was, he he'd. Call him TO the front,
said the. Baron. Sergeant Arnold was
called, and the Baron says TO him: Are
YOU not ashamed of your name9 1t will
be disgrace to you as long as you live;
drop it. But what name can take2' is
the reply. Take mine, says the Baron,
there is no one in the country to bear it
after am gone (The Baron was a
bachelor.) The sergeant consented, and
he and his descendants were ever after
ward called Steuben. Sergeant Arnold
was grandfather of our late esteemed +.
w. Steuben. A large tract of land was
voted to the Baron for his valuable SER
vices, and the county in which it lay is
called after him. The Baron bequeathed
a portion of this land to his namcsake. "

WASHINGTON, March 15.-The situation

Grafton by the Reconstruction Committee
to-day, though nothing was perfected in
the way of bill. Gen. Butler said he
had not yet touched pen to paper in that
direction. The committee, however,
heard delegation of colored men, from
that State, who appeared with long adj
dress, adopted by colOred convention on
the 21st of February last, in which it is
represented that neither lives nor property
of colored people were safe in Tennessee,
and asking that Congress take some action
to remedy the condition of things there
by interfering with the present State
government. There was only a general
charge that outrages were committed, the
address singularly emitting specific in

OPPOSITION To TIE BIOL.

Correspondence of the New York Times
WASHINGTON, March 43.-This bill will
unquestionably meet with great opposi-
ton in Republican quarters, yet it is ar
gued with a great deal of force that if
Georgia has been State in the Union,
and Congress can step in and correct
irregularities there under the authority OF
the Constitution, then it can, in the eXer-
else of that power, do the same thing in
Tennessee or any other State. Those Re
publicans in Congress who support the
Bingham amendment to the Georgia bill
do so on this broad ground, towit: That
Georgia is State in the Union; that the
form of government became anti-repub-
lican through the illegal action OF her
Legislature, and that Congress, under sec
ton 4 of article " of the Constitution,
has the right to overthrow this illegality
and make the government of Georgia
truly republican in form; and, if in Geor-
gia, why not in Tennessee

TIE TENNESSEE DIFFICULTY.


WASHINGTON, March 13.-There is In
reality no government in Tennessee-none
that can protect the lives and property OF
the citizens The Legislature has repealed
the law for the organization OF a militia,
so that the Governor, even If he was dis
posed, cannot summon the militia to en-
force the laws and preserve the peace. 1t
is stated on good authority that the Sec
rotary of State, being absent on business
in distant part of the State, was afraid
10 return to Nashville, owing to the law
lessness which prevails throughout the
State. The statement that the President
had sent a regiment of troops to Tennes-
see is probably erroneous. There is no
law authorizing the President to send the
regular army into State. The act of
1895 says in case of instruction or re-
sistance to the laws, the President shall
call out the militia of the States nearest
the locality IN which the Instruction pre-
walls. 1t so happens that there are no
militia in Tennessee, and that of the adj
Joining States would be worse than use
less. 1t is probable, therefore, that Con-
gress will pass an act declaring the pres
ent government of Tennessee inefficient
for the protection of life and property,
and providing for an election to be held
by the people, only those to vote who are
entitled to do so under the constitution.

Currants ON Light Soil.

As general thing currants do not sue
ceed on light, sandy soils. They may
grow luXuriantly in the early part of the
season, but when the fruit begins to ripen
the leaves drop and the fruit soon follows.
In the Middle and Southern States this
burning or premature ripening of the
leaves and fruit is more common than
farther north but in a warm, dry season
it may be seen almost anywhere upon
light sofia. We have experienced diff
culties of this nature, but found remedy
in the free use of mulch. All the old
leaves, weeds, coarse manure and similar
material are thrown upon our currant-bed,
and the result of this treatment is very
satisfactory. The soil upon which our
specimen currants are planted is light,
sandy one, but it is kept constantly Gov
cred, and our numerous varieties of this
fruit grow exceedingly vigorous, and the
fruit hangs on late, and does not drop un-
til fully mature. We have gooseberries
treated in the same manner, and there is
no sign of mildew upon either leaves OF
fruit, while other plants not mulched are
already badly affected.
Currants and gooseberries require g
cool soil, and we do not know of cheap
er or better method of securing it than
by the free use of mulch. The entire sur
face of the soil should be covered, and Nc
handful just about the stems will answer
A liberal use of mulch wili not only keeI
the soil cool and moist, but effect the tenn
perature of the atmosphere in the imme
diate vicinity of the plants, and prevent
premature ripening. Our hot, dry eli
mate is not so well suited to the curran
as cool one, but we make up for natura
disadvantages by artificial MEANS
