Manures for Clover,

Sulphates of soda and magnesia (glauber
and EPSON salts) have been found peculiar
ly efficaciOus as manures for clover, this
being crop that responds much more
readily tomineral than to nitrogenized ma
nures. The reason of this is believed to
be that the plant draws its ammonia more
from the air than from the soil. On land
that, without such fertilizers, gave about
three and one-half tons of clover hay, the
crop was increased to four and one-half
tons per acre by manuring with the salts
named. Combined with superphosphates,
these substances would be likely to show
still better results, and fertilizer thus con-
stituted is well worthy of extended trial
on our clover fields. The value of clover,
when pastured with sheep, is
fully recognized by our farmers; but its
systematic growth preparatory to wheat, as
is practiced in English tillage, is too much
neglected, insomuch as, from the small
amount of ammonia taken by it from the
soil, it allows nearly whole years accu-
mutation to be stored up for the use of the
succeeding cereal crop, to which nitrogen
lied plant food is absolutely essential

Use the inner bark dried and powdered.
Should the securing prove obstinate, give
one pint melted lard and one teaspoonful

CLOVER SEED.-Mr. VIM. Brown, a self
made Southern farmer, harvested twelve
bushels of clean clover seed from two acres
last year, which brought him ninety dol
lars, in addition to large crop of hay.
Mr.. Brown began the world with no other
capital than industry and intelligence and
now owns threegood farms and has money
at interest. He says that any industrious
young man who will buy or rent ten acres,
use bone dust, plaster and clover, and
plant potatoes, may soon have the fcunda-
ton of a fortune. Men of this stamp pay
thirty dollars rent per acre for land near
Washington and high price for manure,
and then clear money enough in few
yeafssto purchase end pay for farms.-L.,

EFFECT OF PLASTER ON LAND.-John
Gotham is informed that plaster will not
add to the permanent fertility of his sandy
soil, except as it may aid the growth of
clover, which may be plowed under, and
thus furnish food for plants. Its chief
use is supposed to be the absorption of am
monia from the atmosphere. The amount
per acre need never be increased to pro-
duce the same results. Nor is it any more
necessary to continue to use it after one
application than it is to use barn-yard or
other manures, because they have been
once applied; but to all soils whereon
plaster benefits the crop once, it pays to
apply it as a top-dressing annually on
corn, potatoes, clover, grain, etc. Such is
our experience during a long series of
years on sandy, light loan, and we'll
drained, stiff loan lands.-Rmrdl NeU

TO THB POINT,

In its issue Of yesterday the Bee gives
expression to the subjoiued opinion in ref
erence to the political rivalry between
Governor WarmOth and the President:
The contest is narrowed down to this I:
that one or other Of these chiefs. with OF
without the assistance of the Democracy.
must carry the election in Louisiana in No
vember next. He who is against Grant is
necessarily for WarmOth. and he who is for
WarmOth is necessarily against Grant: for
no one believes it to be possible to carry the
State for the Democracy against the power
and the machinery of both federal and State
governments.
If this is true, which of the two is the
Bee for? 1t has said nothing against
Grant, although its columns TEEN with Vi
tuperation and abuse Of the executive.
Does it mean for US to understand that its
pretended advocacy of the Democracy has
all along been a blind in the interest of
Grant? that there was, indeed, truth in
the assertion that the Customhouse clique
had secured the adhesion and friendship
of the Bee and its friends in opposition to
the Governor?
We did not expect the Zee to acknowl-
edge it SO soon. Yet, if there is any
soundness in its argument, it must be the
case.

BXEUUP PArKARn

The Customhouse Convention, which,
fortunately for ITSELF adjourned Wednes-
day night was a disorderly and undigni-
fed body. In saying this, we cast no re-
Election upon the members, but simply
record the effect of a direct cause. A
close corporation, or ''ring" endeavored
to control an assembly Of men who had
been only Partially brought under their in
tiuence, and whose diverse interests and
opinions they sought to control on all
questions by subOrdinating them to a
| single, all-absorbing national idea, over
whose development the ring" claimed
natural tutorship. Self-respect, and
proper sense of the responsibilities resting
upon them as delegates, caused a restive-
ness under the party lash, thus vigorously
and indiscriminately applied, that in a
few (unsuccessful) cases developed into
open rebellion.
And what has been the result? Boss
Packard whipped the convention into sub
seTviency only, as we predicted, to break
his sceptre in accomplishing it. Hoping
to concentre all authority of the Repub-
ican party in his hands, he yesterday
tasted the bitter fruit Of plans awry and
schemes defeated by in,.ing himself pow
erless among those whom he had lifted
into authority. This is a just and proper
conclusion to his treachery, of which, en-
pasSa1.t, several of his fiery young Demo-
crat co-conspirators would do well to make
a note.
Mr. Packard personal efforts defeated
the proposition, which Governor Pinch
back eloquently sustained, Of appointing
committee ''fresh from the people" to
attempt the harmonizing of the discordant
elements in our party. Mr.. Packard in
sisted that the State committee, over
which he presides, and which he pre-
sumptiously claimed ownership of, should
alone arbitrate the questions at issue. Mr..
Packard succeeded in the convention, but
finds that ''my" committee are at wide
variance with his ideas of a settlement of !
the party difficulties. In fact, instead of |
controlling whatever negotiations may
take place, the whole business is wisely |
taken out of his hands.
We can not predict what will result |
from the Overtures inaugurated yesterday
With many representative Republicans
away, nothing conclusive can be arrived
at, no matter what individuals may do.
however, that tends to allay the
bitterness of political strife, which has
done so much of late to unsettle this com
munity, will be cause for general congrat-
llation, particularly if it puts Gatling
guns and deputy marshals in the back
ground

rected more errors, and enlightened a
bigger Ounce than ever we had to deal

frightful how ignorant men can be and yet

it is still more frigh full to consider that

One of the most constant endeavors of
the Customhouse faction has been to court
az alliance with the Democracy. When
ever it has had chance, from the time
that Mr.. Casey was denounced by the al
most united voice Of the Republicans of
the State down to the very latest appeal in
the Grant convention at the National The
atre for help against Governor War
moth, the Customhouse has been intrigu-
ing to obtain the support Of the worst ele-
ments of the Democracy. When Mr. Ca
sey employed a clerical force that consisted
entirely Of Democrats, and his dismissal
was demanded therefor at the hands Of The
President-when he became the partner OF
a Democratic lobby in attempting to secure
gigantic speculations from the Legisla-
ture-when he had the Democratic Sen
ators i'll the Customhouse, and then ship
ped them aboard of revenue cutter
when he allowed a Democratic mob
to collect about his Office for the
purpose OF attacking and dis
perslnG the Legislature when he
sent his friends to the Reform meeting on
Lafayette square for the purpose Of advo-
eating union Of the whites and blacks
against the State administration when
his partisans in the Grant convention denv
that there is any difference or opposition
on their part with the Democracy-NTr
Casey and his friends have always had in
view the hope Of trading themselves into
the affections Of the Democratic party
And when the Democratic State Conven-
ton adjourned few days ago inc Ioudest

tended to join the Cu&tomhouse as it pro-
posed to divide the offices with them.

selves by accusing Governor Warnotb ~
being guilty in the sin that they them |
