MANUFACTURED FERrILIzERs.

| The bill which has just passed the Legis-
lature and has now become law, requir-
ing manufacturers to label their packages
with correct analysis, is one of great i'm
portance both to dealers and farmers. The
| adulterations are so common that it is now
with the greatest risk that purchases are
made. Even the soap factories mix coal
ashes with what comes from their teaches
and sell the whole. We have suffered 10
this way together with several of our
neighbors who were considered as sharp as
the average of men. Our farmers are
disgusted and bewildered. The local deal
ers often meaning to be honest are them
selvc" imposed upon by dishonest manu-
facturers. The great loss resulting from
the sale of worthless material as fertilizer
can only be realized by farmers and horti-
cultura'ists. The first outlay for the stuff
is but small part of it. The use of the
land, expensive preparation, planting and
cultivation of the crop is often total loss.
Lands utterly worthless in natural state
will often become highly remunerative
with good fertilizer.
Our finest melons and cantelop1 are
raised upon barren sands, by manuriug In
the hill. Much of our corn, tobacco, and
other staples, have to be raised upon worn
lands; and if the fertilizer is not what 1t
purports to be, total loss of all the labor,
seed and time may utterly ruin the culti-
vator. A man who sells an adulterated
article, is not merely thief, but he is a
public enemy, conspirator, who ought to
be proceeded against in the most summary
manner. He ought to be compelled to
make good all the losses that he has
caused, as well as to suffer the severest
penalty for his crime. We hope this law
will have healthy influence upon the
public, and lead to honest dealing in mine-
raj manures. 1t is we'll known to experts |
that mort of the articles Of this kind |
offered in tho market are enormously ex-
pensve. 1t would be far better to buy |
The ingredients pure at the druggists and |
combine them. Better still, spend the |
money asked for ton of prepared ferti-
lizer, in hauling muck, leaves, rotten wood,
and rubbish generally to the compost heap.
Barnyard manure is what we want in Vir-
g;nia mcStly.

THEIR STRATEGY.

For ways that are dark and tricks that are
rehabilitation Chinee.
The bill providing for the sale of the
State stock in the Richmond and Peters,
burg railroad to Messrs Fl. X. E'lyson &
Co., it is thought, will be reported to the
Senate tomorrow for action. 1ne strategy
of its enemies will be to attempt to hitch
on to 1t an amendment of some kind, no
matter what, if it should only be the alter
tion of word, that 1t may-in case it
should be cariied-be forced be ,k into the
House, where the desperate battle of the
past week would have to be fought over
again. Inc first intimation of this sys-
tenn Of trickery, is in the outgiving
of the purpose of General Malone
to offer t,oo hundred dollars a share for
tho stock. OF course, he can offer four
hundred or thousand just as well and
for the same purpose. He knows and
everybody knows that he would not give
that amount for any honest purpose.
We know that extravagant prices are
sometimes paid for things apparently
valueless. If he can give this sum for
road over which he has all the privileges
he can ask, and over whose road bed he
could lay another track for one-half the
money offered for the States interest, do
not the people see that there is deep
design concealed under the offer,--that
there is very large "black cat in
the meal tub, "a conspiracy to ruin
Richmond and the entire STATE save,
perhaps, that narrow strip through which
General Mahones road passes. Our friends
must, therefore, be on their guard when
the bill comes up in the Senate. They
must press it to its passage just asst came
from the House, and take care that no
amendments or alterations arc made-not
even the crossing of or the dotting of
an i. 1t will be fatal to the bill, perhaps,
should their strategy succeed in throwing
1t back into the House at this late hour of
the session. Malone will promise any,
thing-offer everything-all that Satan
tempted tho Saviour with--to accomplish
this purpose, If he secs a prospect of the
bill passing the Senate by the requisite
vote therefore, beware of his gifts, and
stand firm for the right,
We know that the corporations against
which VIC contend are rich and powerful,
while oft-stricken Richmond is impover-
ished and weak but we rely upon the
generosity and high sense of justice of the
Senate to save her from the beaks of those
voracious vultures. Vote down all
amendments Allow no alterations! Be-
ware of all tricks-of all TWO HUN

will be considered as one of the gloomiest
hours in the history Of France. The revo-

these horrible assassinations and this

more damage to the republic than all the
Bonapartes.
