M-Pumpkins can be raised to very

grass land. Holes dug about six feet
apart, along the edge Of the field, and
filled with manure, and the seeds
planted in juno, will not grow much

hay, after which tho vines can be
trained to mcander over the moved

CAPTAIN Ericsson, through the
Army and Nary Journal, makes a
novel offer. He has invented, and pro-
poses to test, a plan of submarine at
tack against ships Of war, by which
he can destroy any vessel that floats.
The Tribune gives the following ac-
count Of it:
The great problem has not been to make
torpedo, but to place it under a ships
bottom. Tbe resistance Of the water is SO
great that explosive projectiles have al
ways proved failures when designed to
strike below the water line. and other
means OF attaching the torpedo have been
found too cumbrOus and uncertain 10 he
available. Captain Ericsson is confdeEt
that he has devised a projectile which will
answer the purpose. It is an elongated
shell, charged with three hundred pounds
ofdynamite, and shot from a f~fteeB-inch
gun at such an elevation as to enter the
water near the hostile vessel and strike
the hull anywhere below the water line.
IL Is lifted with a percussion cap which
explodes upon very slight impact against
the hull, so that the velocity OF the shell
when 1t reaches its destination need not
De high. The gun Is carrisd on a swirl ar
mored boat, protected by a turret. Can
tain Ericsson intends to make a formal
offer TO test this invention. He is ready
10 ht out at his own cost and risk a FAST |
screw vessel with two hfteen-inch puns
and torpedoes, ~ifsomebody else will FUR |
nish the victim. We trust he may be ae-
commodated. In the politest manner be
makes q specific challenge to the British
Hon-clsd Devastation to come out and be
sunk As this is one of the splendid
ships upon which Great Britain 1
has recently lavished 50 much ingenuity
and money, 1t is possible the Lords Of the
Admiralty may not be enthusiastic about
accepting Captain E~ricsson's handsome
offer

THE publication Of the laws o.
Congress through the Washington
daily press is a simple and useless
waste Of money. The laws do not
reach the people through that channel,
and this is true in cases than
one. Laws should be published for
the benefit Of the people. But the
plan adopted, as it is in practical oper-
alton, is mere efficient for e%onceaIment
than for making the laws known.
Think Of compelling the people to
obey laws affecting their lives, liberty
and property, and depending for max
ing them known on Forney's ChrOR-
icIe, the jackson Pilot or the Memphis
POSt-papers with none but a forced
circulation, when others might be Sc
lected which would bring the legisla-
tive enactments to every man in the
broad land. The New York Tribune
very well says:
Senator Anthony deserves all praise for
his manly stand yesterday against the
chronic I'VE did not say 0rOBicte) waste
of publishing the laws and advertise
ments. This expenditure is of no earthly
use save to sustain party organs, and the
party organs that need to be thus sus-
tanned are worse than worthless. We
shall watch for the yeas and nays on this
matter, and shall try TO make the con-
stituents OF every man who votes to con-
tinue the waste understand that it is a bid
al the public expense for the support Of
staryeling papers. Journals of standing.
having in themselves the elements Of
life, viii, we are sure, unite with US in
appealing for the abolition of the costly
nuisance.

THE New YOrR politicians are in
their swaddling clothes as to the mat
ter of controlling the negro vote.
They have not bored down to the
depths Of the Ethiopian skull, so as
to understand how to manage him.
The Sun says ''the true mission of po-
Htical leaders is to win voters to their
standard, and not drive them away
from it." That is true enough. But
how is the Sun doing less than
it complains of in Governor Eng
Iish, and attempting to "carry
water on both shoulders in rela-
ton to the XVIII Amendment,
when it undertakes to carry Sambo
and brother Jonathan at the same
time? When the New Workers learn
a little more by experience Of this
matter, they will know more. What
will win Philippians viii drive of
Americans, and grasping all may lose
all. When they come to the ballot
box with the negro, they will find a
most uncommon philosophy necessa-
~ to overcome antipathies of raceS
and how hard it is for oil and water
to eommingle, and birds of different
feather to flock to the same nest.
They may yet find the Fifteenth
Amendments a costly experiment at
home.

GENERAL JORDAN, now in New
York, has fully explained the object
Of his mission. He has not abandoned
the Cuban cause as hopeless, but seeks
arms and ammunition. He states
that there is no hack Of patriots on the
island, and that the negroes and
coolies fight willingly and make good
soldiers. He says that provisions are
ample, and that neither the supply of
soldiers nor food can be cut of by the
Spanish forces. He represents that
sufficient material Of war being pro-
vided, an army fully able to cone
with the forty thousand Spaniards
on the island c~an.soOn be raised. and
that ia that event Havana can be be-
sieged in three months. 1t is be-
heved he viii succeed in New York
70 raise the required means, and II he
can smuggle in arms and ammuni-
ton, it viii soon be seen whether suc-
cess is within his reach. He has moi
abandoned the cause, but comes here
better to organize the Junta and pro-
vide means and give counsel as to the
disposition, proposes to return at
once.

AN election pending in the State Of
New York for four judges for the
Court Of Appeals, the court of last re-
sort in the State, the Democracy in
convention declared, that 'tas an Or
g%anization, they were not called upon,
as it was not decent or respectful, in
judicial matters, to make any parti-
san declarations Of their opinions, ex-
cept that they were for an intelligent
and honest judiciary" The Republi-
cans, on the other hand, adopted the
following resolution:
ReSoJUed, That while we recognize that
this is not the place to make a declara-
ito Of political principles, we think il a
proper occasion 70 express u confidence
IN the. national administration, and our
admiration for the illustriOus soldier and
patriot who is at its head; and we hsarti-
~ pledge ourselves to sustain him in bis
Efforts TO restore economy in our affairs,
10 raise the credit of the Government.
and 70 secure the administration of equal
laws in all our States and Territories.
The Republicans Of Pennsylvania
are more outright in their avowal
that candidates for judicial positions
must hold opinions conforming to the
views of the dominant party. In all
the Southern States the same party
has done the same thing. They are
willing to drag the Judiciary, the
pulpit and the schools altogether
down into the mire Of politics, when
any partisan end is to be gained
by it.

THE Federal income tax is the
most odious Of ell taxation, and the
demand for its repeal Is almost uni
versal both from the press and the
country. If members of Congress
cannot 8 il, they win hear some
thing on the subject when they 60
among their constituents, for whose
good will some of them may have
some little concern. The wish Of the
people of a State like Tennessee, mis-
represented by carpet-baggers and
scalawags, who were never chosen
for Congress, and never al be men
toned but to be execrated, is likely
to have but little influence, it is true.
But there are some members who
have a future, and who will do well
to heed the urgent demand for repeal.
A Western paper thus expresses what
is the common voice Of the West;
Mr.. Sehenck, in his argument for the
continuance, in a modified form, Of the
income tax, stated that the total number
Of persons who paid income tax was 272,-
S43. OF this umbe over l07 900 paid SO
or less. and if the exemption were raised
to 1900 that class would be cut off. The
second class, that paid between so q
$50, numbers 69,IS4; the third class, that
paid between $50 and 500, numbered A.
1876; the fourth class, that paid between
500 and $500, numbered over $1,000, and
those who paid Owe 500 numbered 1854.
Il may be asserted as almost a self-eyi-
dent fact that, for each individual en-
rolled in any one of these classes, there is
another individual who ought to be soen-
rolled likewise, but who evades the tax,
not because he has less income, but less
conscience, than the other. The income
tax is doing more to lower the standard
of morality in the cOuntry-to encourage
lying and foster perjury-than any other
single agency. It should be abolished
without reservation, and forthwith. The
$50, 600, 900 it produces is not needed for
the support of the government, and can
only be used TO permit Mr.. Boutwell, to
continue his improbable experiments in
finance. It is raised at too great a cost OF
public virtue. There is an unanimous de-
mand for a total repeal ofthe tax. and the
people will not be satisfied with the pro-
posed modification of it. There should be
no halt Way work whit.

As FOR Reconstruction now, even
BrownIow gives it up, and says that
heneeforth the Republican party, like
an ugly tub, must stand on its own
bottom. Major McBath, Floater in
the Legislature, from Knox and
ROane counties, in a trip to Washing
ton, from whence he has just returned,
had a conversation with Brownlow,
and this is the report he gives Of it to
the Press and Herald. Fortunate for
Tennessee; and equally fortunate for
the Republican party.
