SELMA, ALA

Planting Corn and COttOn-The
Corruption that has Cursed Ala
bama-Tennesseea in Selma, etc
To the Editors of the Union and American:
SELMA, ALA, March %, 1S71-Leav-
ing Nashville at 10 A. NJ, Tuesday, l
reached Selma a 1:30 P. N. Wednesday,
having travelled 426 miles. All along the
route the farmers were busy plantin g
corn and cotton. OF the latter, l think
much less will be grown this year than
last, as the present prices barely pay the
cost of production. l learn that the COM
mission merchants decline to furnish the
means for growing the coming crop,
which will seriously curtail the produc-
ton. The planters here cannot raise
their own meat, owing to the historic
fondness of the man and brother for hog
and hominy, and his loose ideas as to
property rights. To hear the people de-
scant upon their troubles, reminds me
fOIcibly of the halcyon days of VIM. G.
BroWnlow, of blessed memory, and of
our own buzzard orator. Corruption,
open, bare-faced bribery and high-handed
plumber have held high carnival in Ala
bama, but the backbone of the ring of
thieves and bloodsuckers has been broken,
leaving the mass of the people well nigh
in the same condition.
Selma is flourishing-full of energy
rising Pb9niX like from the ashes of
Wilson's conflsgration-a most fiendish
episode of the war it was. Here find
some Nashville men engaged in business:
Capt N. D. Cross, Superintendent of
Public Schools, and filling various other
positions of honor and trust in a credit
able and satisfactory manner; Robert and
James Lapsley and Mr.. Mckay, all ac-
lively engaged in successful business.
The Governor of the State has gone to
New York to look after some state bonds
issued TO Stanton of the Chattanooga and
Alabama Railroad. l don't know Mr..
Stanton personally, but he seems to be,
from all can learn, one of those very
kind hearted men who have learned the
art of dispensing IsVishly the funds of
these insuIrecti0nary Safes, and who
have nobly come forward to build rail-
roads and other public enterprises for the
ignorant Ku-Klux. I take it, that he
must be distant relation of the late la
mented Edwin n.
The gardens here are beautiful, and the
woods are redoleut of the perfume of the
yellow jessamine, the wild honey suckle
and Cherokee rose. The weather is de-
lightful. PETER SPoRUM.
The Knoxville Chronicle says: 1--WE
have taken the trouble to inquire pretty
generally about the prospect for good
wheat crop in East Tennessee this year.
Our inquiries lead US to the conclusion
that the prospect is fine. In many fields
tie wheat has grown so fast that farmers
have allowed their cattle 10 Craze upon
and keep it down, anticipating that if it
were allowed TO grow up a late frost
might injure it. Appearances now indi-
cate an abundant crop throughout this
end of the State"

"Cassius NJ. Clay, of Kentucky, in

The trouble about the wind instru-

A BRIEF SURVEY.

Again we are on the eve of another
great political battle in this State,
and several others. Pennsylvania,
Ohio, and Indiana, fight tho battle
on the same day with US. The
presages OF republican victory are
glorious and promising. The edi-
torial pen only awaits for information
upon the magnitude of the republican
maJorities, and with the coming
victories falls upon friend and foe
alike, the overwhelming convic.
ton that dependant alone upon
the life Of President Grant, is the
question Of on additional four years
of his wise and benefcent administra.
ton.
Here in Iowa we have most
unexceptionable State ticket which
commands the universal support of
the party and survey Of the field
betokens a majority greater than
was ever before known, save perhaps
at a Presidential election. Our coun.
ty ticket is simply one that never had
a superior. Our candidates for
Senator and Representatives,
laying aside even tho question of
politics, arc gentlemen eminently
fitted for the duties which will de-
volvo upon them; faithful, Industrious,
capable, and honest.
For Sheriff, Treasurer, Auditor,
Supervisor and Coroner, were we
to select from the entire county no
litter men could be found. Thew
furnish corps of executive officers
into whose hands the business of the
county pertaining to their offices,
may be entrusted with the utmost
safety, and with the assurance that
all will be done we'll.
Now for our lady candidate for
School Superintendent. Hero we
meet upon ground that the thresher
has not yet mellowed into that con-
sistency which the future will bring
forth. We have only to say that the
lady We know to be a good scholar
fine teacher, industrious, amia-
BILE and worthy.
You would he glad to have her for
a teacher of your children in any
department; will you frown upon her
when large convention of good
citizens of our county have put her
forward tor simply another field of
the teachers labors than the labors
of the school room. We have only
to say for ourselves that we shall vote
for her most cheerfulIy, and further,
we say, in u certain event to-wit:
the election of Mr.. Ives, we leave
his administration of the affairs Of
the Office to determine whether, or
not, his wife, Mrs. Ives, Gas we allege
sho wild does not do the business
chiefly.
