From conversation with al intelh-
gent planter" says the Somerville F'dl-
con, "Who has recently visited different
localities in the county and conVersed
with numbers of the lords of the soil, we
learn that many of them are beginning to
see the folly of their way, and this year
will endeavor to avoid the pitfsll which
has well nigh ruined them. Cotton is to
be no longer king, but is to be supplanted,
in a measure, by corn, wheat etc. They
will divide their crops about half aud
half, and be prepared for any emergency
and any kind of q market"

Judge Elwell, umpire in the coal mining
difficulties has submitted report to the Board
of Arbitration, in which he declares the propo-
sltions that the owner, lessee or operator of a
colllery is guaranteed the management of his
works; and that violence or intimidation to
prevent miners from exercising their right to
work when and for whom they please at what
ever rate of wages they choose, is unlawful
The system OF strikes because an employee dis.
charges or refuses to employ any particular
person is contrary to the spirit of the laws and
proper subject of local arbitration. Miners
contracts for labor are as sacred as other con-
tracts, and interference with them is not to be
tolerated. Combinations of operators against
the Benevolent Association, and refusal to en-
plOy miner because he is a member of the
Association would give ground for censure and
refusal to other members TO work. 1t is re.
commended that steps be taken for the adjust
ment OF difficulties in the future. There is no
prospect anything further will be done. The
men will not submit TO local arbitration and
there is not much chance that this dead lock,
which is tighter than before, will be opened for
some time. and thus the coal trade is at stand
still indefinitely.

thus, in uncertain states OF the markets, they pre-
