s5s-Mr. F. Guiovits, of Starkville, Her.
kimer county, New York, thus wrote on
the culture Of corn:
"The remarks of the Club on corn raising
differs from our practice here, which Is
highly successful, the yield among our best
farmers being from fifty to eighty bushels
per acre. with large amount of corn fodder,
cut when the corn is glazed, dried in stacks,
and thus put in condition to store away in
bulk, affording fodder next best to hay
Our soil is mostly drift, yellow and gravelly
or sandy with some clay, though our best
sorn land is on the creek bottoms. We
turn down our oldest sod if possible, and
Just before planting. There will be few
weeds to trouble then. AS the soil is some
what raw in this case, fertilizer is used in
the hill, and nothing is SO good as hog ma
nure. This starts the growth at once, dark
and thrifty, and will continue it till the
corn has reached a couple of feet OF more in
lenght. Then the sod below it will take it
up and carry it on till the ripening period,
or near that, when there will he less growth
of straw and more of the ear, maturing and
filling out the crop well. If the sod is not
heavy and the land rather poor, manure is
applied, but never in the spring. AS early
as possible in the fall it is spread evenly
and close to the ground. The rains which
succeed will wash out the Soluable parts
and distribute them more evenly than can
be done any other way save with liquid
manure, which it really is. This will slim
ulate growth during the fall both of the
grass and the roots, and when spring comes
there will be rich surface to turn down.
The blowing is usually about five inches
deep. In very deep rich sod an inch is
added. Manure has been applied in the
Spring. but it has not proved satisfactory
generally. The past season our neighbour
Smith, our best farmer, turned down twenty
acres of sod that had lain nineteen years.
He cultivated it we'll as he always does,
and raised 1900 bushels from the twenty
acres, realizing in addition enough corn
fodder in the best condition to afford half
to the feed for his dairy of tiftytwo cows,
feeding hay at the same time-hay and
corn-stalks. both in the best condition,
and no grain-and his COWS are unsurpassed
for condition and milk, The season W as
not favorable one for corn; Mr.. Sr.i
does much better in favorable seasons uni
formly, as he always has rich field CT old
sod for the purpose. His example has
done much to benefit corn-growing in this
section, and should be initiated nor extern
sively.'

TT IS the fashion of Southern journals to
attribute all the disadvantages which their
section of the country is laboring under, as
compared with the material growth and
prosperity Of the North, to the admins
trative policy of tho government, which, it
is claimed, has been unnecessarily severe
and rigorous since the war, and still con-
tinues to be so in very many parts of the
South, owing to the presence of the ON
nverous carpet-bagger and the exercise of
certain precautionary measures which the
Administration has found it necessary to
adopt in order to secure protection to all
classes of citizens without distinction of
color. We have repeatedly shown that
this wall of Southern journalism-a chronic
mental bowling with large class Of our
cditors--is very senseless one, and that
if there is any system of misrule or inter-
ference on the part Of the Federal govern
ment which is calculated to hinder indus
try, kill enterprise, delay prosperity and
keep the people in poverty, it is one which
has been forced by the intolerance and per-
secution of certain sections, and not be-
cause it was the wish Of the Administra-
ton to exact anything more than what the
constitution and laws imperatively demand
as duty at its hands. ........
As general thing the white people of
this State are disposed to yield to the
colored people an equal protection with
themselves under the laws. There has
been no marked act of oppression in our
Legislature, nor any general complaint, to
our knowledge, of local abuses which de-
manded interference on the part Of the
general government; and, as a conse-
quence, there has been no such interior
ence. All the machinery of the State gov
eminent has been permitted to move by its
own proper gearing, and the hand of Fede-
raj power has been so lightly felt here, that
the fact has been deemed q noteworthy
one by Democratic editors themselves.
AL sensible men must see that with the
abolition OF slavery and the enfranchise-
ment of the colored race, necessity at
once existed of extending to them an equal
protection under the laws. Enfranchise-
ment carries with it the full rights and
privileges of citizenship, and government
that does not protect its citizens in the full
enjoyment of their rights makes a weak,
pusilanimous, and contemplate exhibition
Of its power. .... -.... ..-.
Let the fact be everywhere recognized,
as we trust and believe it generally is in
Virginia, that the colored man has the
same right to life, liberty, and the enjoy
ment of property, that is claimed for the
the white man, and there will be no occa-
sion to wall over the rigor of Federal au-
thority. We claim no more than this for
the recently enfranchised race and with
this recognition, the negro can claim moth
ing more for himself. The balance of his
rights-if any such there be-he must Sc
cure for himself, by demonstrating his
ability to occupy position, and not clamor-
ing for it as 8 matter of right.
The Daily state journal. [volume] (Alexandria, Va.) 1868-1874, 1872-05-02

1T is now almost absolutely certain that
the United States Government will aban-
don the consequential claims and that the
arbitration will proceed. This is no back
down, as the enemies of General Grant
would have it considered; it is triumph
equal to any he ever won. We withdraw
all claim for pecuniary compensation for
this part of our case and establish the i'm
mutable rule that neither nation as neu-
trail shall hereafter be held liable for indi-
rect damages. The gain is largely in our
favor.
