I1EEA CARpET-BAGGER.-AN North
ern man. while travelling near Baton
Rouge, La. met a darkey who had
in his possession Il coon. The car
pet-bagger thus addressed the dar-
key:
Is that coon lively?7
"Oh, yes, sab, " replied the black
possessor OF as wild a specimen as
ever made tracks in the Comite
S yamp.
We'll, I want & real lively fellow,
Put him on that root, pointing to
the lower knob of Il very tall oak.
and lets see ii hewill stir himself. "
No sooner said than done, and the
coon went up the tree like a creased
streak OF lightning.
You satisfied, boss: he's lively?
"Weu, yes; but | don't want a
coon in Il tree-top."
The freedman looked up the tree,
whistled. and scratched his head for
an idea. then said:
We'll, boss, dat coon is like car
pet-bagcr - VERY promisin' when
he's down, but when he's up he amt
no use to nobody"

ABUSE OF Theodore Tilton, of
the Golden Age, who is a great admirer OF
Beast Butler, doesn't relish the plain spoken
terms used by the Springfield, Mass, Repub-
lican. in referring to that worthy. In making
up a catalogue of the sins of which Butler is
guilty, the Republican charges him with idol
airy, blasphemy, letter, stealing, false witness,
envy, and other Butlerisms." Tiltop says that
such language may seem to some people to be
criticism, but that to him it looks very much
like Billingsgate. If q Democratic paper used
such truthful language in reference to Benja-
min the Beast, it would, of course, be nothing
but Billingsgate, but when coming from Rad
ical journal. and one of the leading papers of
that faith, it is all right, Tilton, to the contrary

CALIFORNIA CoTToN.-The experiment OF
raising cotton in MERGED county, CAL. has un.
doubleday proven success, aid many of the
farmers in that section. particularly those own
ing lands in the river bottoms, will try few
acres in cotton next year. The Colusa Saa
urges the people of Colusa county to embark
in the business of cotton planting, estimating
that there are thousands of acres of bottom
lands in that county particularly adapted to the
successful production of good quality of cot
ton If two bales of cotton can be raised to
the acre, and that is considered low estimate,
more profitable crop cannot be raised,
as, at usual rates, bale of five hundred pounds
is worth one hundred dollars and the Sun
estimates that one good hand can easily cult
vate fifteen acres, The experiment of raising
cotton in MERGED county was tried by a Col.
Strong and he planted one hundred acres.
The crop is said to have matured well this sea-
son, and he is now engaged in picking; and it
is stated that he expects to realize $50 900 from
his crop The success which he has met with
in engaging in the production OF that staple,
where it was not believed the soil or climate
were favorable to its cultivation, will induce
others to embark in the same enterprise. and
it may yet turn out that California, in addition
to its other valuable productions, may prove
a great cotton growing State. From two
hundred bales raised by Col, Strong this year,
the CROP twelve months from now, may prob
ably figure up in the thousands

DOMESTIC INTELLIGENCE.

WASHINGTON, January 16.-The adj
mission of four out Of seven Repre-
sentatives from Georgia to-day brings
political affairs in that State to the
front again.
Various Senators elect are waiting
the slow movements of the Senate Jul
dietary Committee. There appears to
be n probability Of two contests before
the next House. Certificates have not
been issued for the Fifth Tor Augusta
District yet. DR.. Tiff is the Demo-
cratic claimant, and Major Whiteley
the Republican. The latter also as
pires as Senator elect to a seat In that
Chamber until the 4th of March next.
Both gentlemen are candidates Of their
respective parties for tho present and
next Congress. The Governor has not
yet decidsdto issue certificates, and will
it is believed set the election aside as
void. In L county the ballot-boxes
were destroyed by mobs, and In an
other the Judges were forced to sign
false returns at the peril Of their lives.
In all probability a new election will
be ordered by the Governor.
