CALIFORNIA.

The result Of the recent election
in California disappoints both par
ties. The State in all estimates for
the Presidential election in 1872
has uniformly been placed among
the "certain" for the Democrats,
and as uniformly conceded by the
Republicans. The San Francisco
Bulletin before the election claim
ed only "a fair prospect" for the
election Of the Republican ticket.
Any one not we'll acquainted with
political canvasses will see, after
reading the annexed paragraph,
that the San Francisco paper did
not believe strongly in the success
of its political party when it said:
There is fair prospect that the
Republican State ticket will be
elected, and it ought to be if Cali-
fornia wants to keep In tie ranks
of national progress, and cares to
be identified with the patriotic, lib
eral sentiment of the republic. We
believe, also, that q more rational
and public spirited administration
of State affairs may be expected
from Republicans, with less ten
dency to degrade everyth thing to a
partisan level and stronger one
to carry out jldicious reforms
With q pure, able, and firm man
like Newton Booth at the head of
its administration, the Sta.e will
be in hearty sympathy with the
national spirit, and We shall have
reasonable assurance that a sound
practical home policy will be car
ried out f"
The brilliant Republican victory
in California is as significant as it
is complete and overwhelming -
The canvass had been bitter and
exciting, aud the people have &c
cided that the constitution as it it.
without an if or ,roviso, shall be
the law. 1t is square notice to
the revolutionists to cease their st
temps to overturn the results of
the war, TO disband their Ku Klnx
bands, accep5 the situation in good
faith, embrace the enfranchised
ci izen and subside, or take new
departure through the graveyard.

MANURE AND POTATOES.

To the Editors of the Union and American:
l have been very much interested, late
", in that portion of the UNION AND
AMERICAN devoted to the "Farm and
Garden" l was forcibly struck with the
articles upon Slime" as fertilizer, and
l will give you and your readers the ben
eft of an experiment of mine last spring.
l got to thinking about the qualities of
the Irish potato, and finding, that to
make good ones, it is important to have
soil impregnsted with ashes or lime, |
went to work and made the following
compost, viz:
8 bushels unslscked lime.
l bushel salt, dissolved in water.
s bushels cotton seed meal.
mixed the above thoroughly, putting
about one pint to each potato: and the
result was that had many potstoes that
weighed over two pounds; and such a
yield ofrarge tubers l never saw before.
l think made the lime too strong for the
meal, as l found in many places in the
row that the potatoes were missing, and
l think the lime may have destroyed the
germ.
l am preparing to plant again this
spring, but l intend to use more cotton
seed meal in proportion to the lime than
l did last season. With compost of
this kind l am satisfied our people can
make larger yield of finer tubers, both
in size and flavor, than in any other
way. l.. ID. L.

A Word for the Peoples Paper-And
the People of Old Smith.
To the Editors of the Union and American:
have just reached bone after short
visit to the "City of Rocks, I" where re-
ceived 80 many marks of disinterested
kindness from my worthy and hospitable
friend, your Senior, and his estimable
lady, that my heart filed with emotions
of gratitude as babe them adieu; and /
thought-e'how ! wish had it in my
power to reciprocate their kindnesses;"
and just then l resolved to go home and
get up long list of subscribers for the
UNION AND AMERICAN, thereby giving him
and his assurance that if they had not
entertained an angel una
a0ares," they had at least enter
tanned a friends friend, too, who had
their interest at heart. Just as soon as
'thome again, went vigorously to work
to get up club, but imagine my sur
prise when found all my neighbors and
friends already subscribers for your most
valuable paper. Subscribe for the
UNION AND AMERIoANl" said the first one
/ approached; ''why l have not been
without it for years. could not do with
out tiny farm could not go on without
its suggestions on farming, and my wife
declares she needs every week its hints
to the houSe,Oife."' The same report
was made by others / went to see, and l
soon found my friend Griffith land his
colleagues have hosts of friends and read
ers in old Smith, who know him not as
''tlte ghost of the dead man." but as
the lice, active, energetic, aide quake
s0orker for the 'tPeople's Paper" Sue
cess to him and his paper.
And now a word for old Smith, whose
people are solvent, independent and
thrifty. BY the way, Smith county does
not get her just need of praise abroad,
because, not having railroad connections
with your city and other impoItsnti
points, her resources are but little known,
and she is not appreciated by her sister
counties as she should otherwise be. But
when our railroad connections are COM
pleted if we can coax line through her
borders, Smith will rank as one of the
first counties in the State. No finer blue
grass can be found than that growing
upon the hills of Smith. A Kentuckian,
recently here purchasing cattle, pronoun-
ced it fine-very fine; but declared that
our farmers keep too much stock-graze
too closely-or we should have grass
scarcely inferior to that of the far-famed
Blue Grass Regions of Kentucky.
This is billy country, it is true, but
tho soil is rich and highly productive, and
lands here readily command from $50
to $50 per acre, while some in this vi
cinity has recently sold for $50. There
is also an awakening interest among our
people relative to fruit growing, and al
most every owner of land here has
planted an orchard. Grapes succeed
finely on our hill slopes, and some few of
our farmers have planted vineyards; and
1 believe the day not far distant when the
vine-clad hills of old Smith will be IA

''Bingen, fair Bingen on the Rhine.

To the Editors Cd the Union and American:
LEBANON, Tenn, Feb. 16, 1S71.-In
your mammoth Weekly of this morning,
among other interesting matter, was
glad to see the report of Rev. DR.. Baird g
lecture at the Masonic Hall, in behalf of
the Orphan Asylum. The subject was
rare, and doubtless entertaining. The
speakers peculiar, happy manner, some
times grave, sometimes facetiOus, always
interesting, could but command the at
tention of the large and varied audience.
But, in addition to the theme, "Womsn
will have her way, the Bible being wit
ness, - the Doctors serio-comic style in
its treatment, and the object of para,
alisation of a handsome sum foI
the worthy orphans, l could but
notice the following: ''FOr in
the beginning woman was called
help-mate," etc. Now, if Sin the be-
ginning the Doctor has reference to the
18th verse, I'd chapter of Genesis, l must,
with ali due deferenceto his Biblical lore,
differ from him in the construction of the
latter clause of that verse. The whole
verse reads thus: "And the Lord God
said, it is not good that the man should
be alone: ! will make him an help meet
for him. The words help meet do not
form compound noun On the con
trary, they are separate and distinct
words, the former being noun, and the
latter an adjective. The word D'eet il
equivalent to proper, congenial, fit, suits-
bic; so that the clause might be rendered
thus: 81 will make him an help meet
(proper, congenial, suitable, ft) fol
him." Thus you see the compound
word, ''help-meet," or ''help>mate," as
the Doctor has it, is not correct, the pop
ular idea to the contrary notwithstaud-
ing.
By the way, is not the Doctors lecture
as whole, graceful overture to the
party of the ''strong-mindedF"
