CORN CROPS TILE sOUrH,

The st. Louis Republican makes q
strong point against the Radicals in their
efforts to destroy the South. That paper
says that while The Radicals with their
Ku-Klux laws and carpet-bag govern
ments are doing their best TO disorganize
society in the South, the people of that
section, with excellent practical sense,
are pursuing the even tenor of their way
in making themselves agriculturally indie
pendent. The July returns TO the statis-
teal division of the Bureau of Agricul-
ture give the following as the increase of
the area planted in corn in 1871 over that
80 planted last year in the following
States:

THERE are some people in Washington
who insinuate that the heads of bureaus
and divisions of the government are not
capable Of preparing their own reports.
The Washington Patriot of July %,
says: SIT is said that one reason for the
absence of 80 many heads of bureaus and
divisions of the government at the
present time is to allow the chief clerks,
acting as head of the offices, to collect
the material and prepare the annual re-
ports of their several branches of the ser
vice, without necessitating an acknowl'
edgment on the part of the superior Of
fcer of his inability to perform the work. F"

The Republican comments On this
showing as follows: In al the other
States the srea cultivated in corn is either
stationary or diminishipg-even on the
Pacific coast, When we compare the
rate of this increase in the South, where
the population receives little from
immigration, with the Northwestern
Ststes teeming with new settlers, it
IS evident that the change in
the former has not resulted from the ordi-
nary extension of tillage, but from a
change of system. The South gees the
necessity of supplying itself with bread
and meat from its home production, in
stead of depending exclusively on its
great staples for foreign consumption,
cotton, sugar and tobacco. In all the
States the increase, since last year, of The
area cultivated in corn is 3,000,0 600 Of
acres, and of these 3,O0O, 900 are in the
South, the total area devoted to the pro-
duction of that cereal being As, 900, 600
acres, or more than half the entire ex,1nt
of land devoted to all titled crops in the
Union. If the South were let alone, it
would soon exhibit prosperity exceed
ing the expectations of even It's warmest
friends. One great step in its progress is
the adoption of better system of farm.
ing, by which a variety of crops is pro,
duced at home. As long as the planter
depends solely on some staple, the price OF
which is regulated by the production ofoth'
er countries as well as our own, he becomes
a sort of speculator. He suffers from
the variability Of prices, not only of his
own staple, but also of the bread and
meat he has to buy. But if he raises the
latter at home, and cultivstes cotton mere.
ly with his surplus labor, he can more
readily keep out Of debt at least by reg
ulating his purchases of comforts or lux
lies according to what his cotton may
Yield TO him.

Sir Isaac Newton was urged by one of
his friends to marry; he excused himself
by saying that he had no time to court
a wife. His friends said they would as
sist by sending to his apartment wo-
man of worth. He thanked them for
their offer and promised to receive a
visit from her. Her friends applied to
the woman, and requested her to dis
pense with the usual ceremonies of court
ship, and wait on the philosopher, which
she consented to do. When she came
to his apartment and produced her re-
commentator, he received her politely,
filled and fired his pipe, sat down by her
side, took hold of her hand, and con-
versed on the subject. Before they had
brought the point TO close, some ques-
tons about the magnitude of the heav-
emily bodies struck his mind with such
force that he forgot what he was about.
He turned his eyes to heaven, took the
pipe out of his mouth with his left hand
and, being lost in study, without design
took the lady's left hand, which he held
in his own, and with one of her fingers
crowded the tobacco in the bowl of his
pipe, and held it so long that her heart
as well as her finger took fire, and she in
a huff sprung up and went off, leaving
the philosopher to finish his study alone.

Ku-YLuX TRIAL.

The first case arising under the Ku-
Klux act is progressing at Oxford, Miss.
The defendants, who are numerous and
highly respectable, are from Monroe
county. The charge is that they cap.
tured negro and hung him. An array
oflegal talent appears on both sides, and
the interest the trial excites is intense.
United. States soldiers, ordered from
Nashville for the purpose, guard the en-.
frances to the courthouse. Each Of the
defendants relies upon good character
and an abb. We suppose that il any
Of the defendants shall be convicted, a
case will be made for the Supreme
Court of the United States. To that
tribunal the question Of the constitu
tionality Of the Ku-Klux act must go a
last. The sooner it is disposed of thu
better for the people.

were under arms, Marshal MeMahon
and STAFF, with Generals cissy yinOy,
Douay, Faidherbe and l. Admirault, and
a number of other distinguished military
persons we're present. PresidentThi
and several members of the Assembly,
including M. Grevy witnessed the re-
view. The attendance was immense.
An innumerable concourse of specta-

coveredby the troops in performing their
evolutions; and platforms, which had
been erected at various points command
ing a good view of the field, were filed
to overlooking. -
The military tactics aud evolutions
by the troops were splendid
and called forth the admiration of those
present. The noble and warlike ap-
pearance presented by the ranks as they
fled past in magnificent order elected
frequent bursts Of applause.
The apprehensions formerly enter

might probably be seized as a fitting
opportunity on which to make a Bona

occurred, although had such happened

sufficiently powerful to suppress them,
