New Steam Plow.
The New lbe ria Sugar osol says:

The New liz. ria SugarBowl says:
Mr.. w. Prescott, Of Thibodaux, has been
for some time past engaged in building a
steam pillow at that place, and when we
were there. last week. he had it nearly
ready for a trial. 1t is intended by the in
ventor TO also use it as road steamer for
carrying freight overland. At present we
have not space to describe this new inven-
ton, but shall do SO if it works successfully.
OF this. however, We have our doubts. We
believe il will run well, sbut fear it will
prove to" cumbersome for road SERVICE and
for blowing it is a failure, unless different
plans are used. Mr.. Prescott has expert
nented considerably to get the best kind Of
Ilows. and has finally come ito the conclu-
sion that q series of wheels, with small
plows attached to their edge in such man.
ner that they. will turn up the soil, but not
turn it over, is the j best he .can use. We
fear few planters will agree with him in
this respect We sincerely hope be may
suit of his first experiment..

Massachusetts Matters.


We copy this special from the St. Louis
Republican:
WASHINGTON, d. c.. September 22.-Sen.
atOr Wilson arrived here to-day, and has
been in conference with such members OF
the administration as are in town. urging
that the ofiice-holding dogs in Massachu-
setts be called of from fighting the Kepub-
licans who oppose Ben Buffers nomination.
He finds, however, that Butler is the admin
istration candidate, and none Of the federal
officeholdcrs in Massachusetts will Ike inter
fered with. 1t is stated that with the ex-
ception OF one collector of internal revenue,
every one in Massachusetts, is supporting
Butler. Boutwell, refuses to attend the
convention, or to be a candidate for the
presidency. as some of his friends wish, but
will leave for Ohio instead, where he will
make speeches in Cincinnati and Cleveland
next week. Wilson predicts that Butler
will not be nominated, but if he should
suddenly develop an unexpected strength,
it is the intention to spring the name of
Dawes, who, to save the party
from defeat, and prevent the election OF
Adams, will consent to run. Ii Butler is
not nominated, he Will, it ia now under
stood, bolt the convention, and accept the
nomination Of convention which meets

A genuine fraud. signing himself "A. L.

letter to the Cincinnati Commercial. in
which he denounces the supporters Of the

things equally as truthful. he says:
''On the twentieth Of July l was acting

large and enthusiastic. This convention
heartily Endorsed Oscar j. Dunn. and cen
sured Governor Warmoth. and after regu-

To which the Attakapas Reg;s,ey. pub

THE truth is, that Mr.. Close was never a
secretary at any conventions; he never was
present at any meeting tor the election OF,
delegates; and no meeting was held in the
ward on the day named"
Will the journals that reproduced the let
ter in question make note Of this, or will
they take stock in the false representations

This circumstance affords an excellent Cd

The Jewish Day of Atonemeut.

FROM the Galveston Bulletin of Sunday
This great Jewish Sabbath commences
| this evening with the setting Of the sun,
and will end tomorrow at the same hour
1t will be universally observed throughout
the world by the Jews.
According to the Mosaic dispensatiOn the
children OF Israel appear on this day before
their God seeking pardon and forgiveness
for the sinsof the past year. A strict fast,
OF the twenty-four hours.
During the existence of the Jewish Tenn
pie in Jerusalem, the religious services Of
this day were such as would strike terror
to the hearts of the most hardened of the
nation. The glorious illumination around
the high priest on his exit from the Holy
Of Holes, which sacred place he alone. and
on this one day OF the year could enter,
was a proof of the living. active existence of
God among the children of men, and His
attention to their prayer. And when the
thousands of Israel. bowed with their faces
to the earth, heard from the lips of the high
priest the most welcome words: "And the
Lord has pardoned according to His word,''
they with heartfelt emotion answered:
Blessed be His glorious name for ever and
ever"
On this day also was the trumpet of the
jubilee sounded. when every Hebrews
possession was again returned to his hands,
and the cancellation Of his mortgage made
known to the needy one. The liberty Of
the Hebrew servant was also made good on
this day, for although from necessity he WAS
to serve his brother, vet no power
could hold him in servitude after the pro-
rlamation of the jubilee. On this day
Gods mercies were vOuchsafed to man. and
nan made 1nerciful to his fellow man.

Will have about forty miles of railroad in
the county more than we now have. The
state OF Mississippi donates four thousand
dollars per mile to every company that con
structs a mile OF railroad before the first of
September, 1876. The Mobile and North
western road will pass through Canton or
jackson. If Rankin and Madison vote for
the proposed tax, the road will surely pass
through Canton. The point is this: II we
vote the tax. Madison county will receive a
donation of one hundred and sixty-thou-
sand dollars from the State, i. e. four
thousand dollars per mile for forty miles of
railroad; if the road goes to jackson, all
me rest Oh the State is taxed for the benefit
ot Kinds county. Would. it not be we'll for
us to receive this handsome bonus. and
