A Much NEEDED CHANGE.-A Richmond
letter-wrtter says: THE General Assembly
will probably pass law at this session chang
ing the time for its future annual meetings from
the first Monday in December to the first OF
second Monday in January. There is no longer
(if indeed there ever was any necessity TOR its
assembling at the tail end of the year. Is more
business like, more convenient and more sensl-
BILE to have it convene early in the year. ln
case this change is made, and it is almost re-
solved upon, this General Assembly will be
compelled to elect county Judges for the next
term as the constitution requires that they
shall go into office on the lst ofJanuary, 1873.
A committee of the Conservative caucus has
the matter now under consideration and will
probably be able to report definitely, immedi'
ately after the Christmas recess.

RadicaI Misrule i'm Louisiana

Poor Louisiana! The cup of her de-
ga latiOn Is fdll. Pinchback has pro-
claimed himself q Governor, and his hands
the full power of the Administration at
Washington City. The contest between
the two returning IOards is evidently at an
end, the Custom House ring having pro
claimed the State for the negroes by lJ,-
900 mal0Ii,y. This is done by counting
the votes of all negroes who testified that
they were not allowed 10 G0'-, and the de-
cislon Of the United States authorities have
rattle the decision.
Not that we care particularly whether
Warmoth, white, o. Pinehback, negro, IS
10 be the regularly recognized Governor Of
the State--there Is, perhaps, between the
two, only distinction, without a differ
caCe-but that the manner in which the
thing has been decided, sets aside all re-
gard for political honesty aud establishes
precedent that may be followed mp 70 a
dangerous end. The fight is between two
unprincipled leaders OF an unprincipled
party, and the comparatively few white
men in Louisiana need care but very little
which Of the two may be authorized to
rule and ruin. II the results of Radical
government In North and South Carolinl
are an indication for Louisiana, then the
people are sure to be robbed and plCnder-
ed, anyhow, and it matters but very little

Federal Taxation.

1t is li,tle remarkable that neither
President Grant nor Secretary Boutwell,
should have recommended 4 reduction of
she enormous taxation under which the
people of This country now suffer. They
have shown no valid reasons why it should
no: be reduced, while, on the other hand,
there are many and just arguments in
favor Of a reduction.
The surplus revenue Of 1S7l-T2 is nearly
double what it was in 1S6S-G9, and greater
than It vas in 167O-T1. With a constantly
increasing surplus revenue, the Chicago
Jri1uaG pertinently asks What possible
reason IS there for refusing to reduce the
rates Of taxation? If, two years ago,
when there was a surplus Of S104,000 900,
that fact furnished reason for repeating
taxation on Il large number Of objects,
What reason Is there DOW tUr refusing Il
Ike repeal or reduction when tue surplus
IS even greater? Experience has shown
that, In country where tue business, nro-
duction and population have a steady an
nual increase, and the public revenue J.,
III excess, 1t IS safe to make reduction in
TAXATION so long as it does not threaten to
cause deficiency. Each repeal OF taxa-
ton Is direct relief to the country. 1t is
equivalent to an addition Of that much ac-
i've productive capital in the hands OF the
people it stimulates production, and, by
Increasing consumption, leads to an In
eieAse OF revenue from the other objects of
taxation.

Mr.. Norment strongly advocated post

close and c,,reful consideration. AS an
r. stern North Carolinian la was opposed

hurried legislation calculated 20 impair the
prosperity OF his people. He hoped 1t
would be postponed until after the recess,
and was willing for it TO be made the spe-
cial order for the first day afterwards, but
lie called upon the members of the House,
for the interests OF the people OF the whole
State, Ia give them some time for It's con-
SideratiOn.
Mr.. Jones, Of Caldwell, said lie was not
ia either wHy committed to the bill, and
would therefore move to make it special
order for Tuesday at u O'Clock.
Mr. Moore, (?) al considerable length,
opposed the motion to postpone. In reply

which the proposed road is to pass, merely
TO benefit Wilmington alone.

Mr.. Jones. cf Caldwell, Mr Bennett,
McL.aurin, col and Mr.. McNeill were in
favor of p,,stpcnement until Tuesday or
Wednesday.
Mr.. Moore (?) was wiiiius to postpone

Pending further discussion, the previous
question was caile | and the motion to

Good Farming

The man who produces the largest yield
to the area cultivated, with the least ex-
pense, and increases the fertility Of the soil,
is the most scientific farmer, however ig-
norant he may be Of the fact Erchdnge.
1t Is often that we meet With little scraps
like this, which In a few words c0mprs-
hend the very gist of the subjects to which
they refer. We could not imagine more
complete epitome Of the whole science of
farming than is embraced in the above few
words. 1t Includes more than can general
ly be found in the longest agricultural ora
tior, or the most elaborate magazine Article.
1t is practical, pointed and comprehensive,
and if our farmci could keep it before their
eyes as the rule uf their operations, it would
be we'll indeed for them aud the country. 1t
is undeuable, as it is proven in the expert
ence Of thousands, that 4 large yield
of crops and improvement Of the land are
altogether consistent. Tho great point
then to be guarded is that Of expense.
his is the rock HpOn which many OF the
most progressive farming enterprises split.
The chief items Of expense in farming be-
ing labor and fertilizers, proper control
and direction Of the tOrmer,and Ii .iuuic!OuS
use and application Cf the latter, are cs-
scntial 10 eiltte>s. The most difficult OF
all problems affecting the farming interes!
is the labor question. When labor is en-
ploycd and paid for, it should be seen by
the employer that he gets What he pays
for; otherwise lc might as well give away
his means and quit farming. In fact it
would be less expensive TO do So. So In
the matter of manureS and fctiIzeIs--
their stintcd or improper application over
great surfaces, SO as to he Of little service
to the crops or land, is another famous
leak to the farmers treasury. judicious
management of these two suhiects-labOr
and manure-WiII always insure success.
