WHAT is AN ACRE? -The answer to
this question may appear to be very
simple, says the Irish Farmers Gazette,
but it is not so in reality:
The Statue" acre defines 4,s40 yards
as the correct measurement; the Irish,
Lancashire, and plantation acre, $50
yards; the Scotch standard, over
IG,l0i yards; the Cunningham, $3.50
yards; the Cheshire of Staffordsllire,
1920 yards; the West Derby, 5000
yards in north Wales the customary
acre" is said to be $3.50 yards, and
the "erw," or "true acre." a 800 yards !;
seicester is satisfied with 2,3OS2 yards +;
while Westmorcland claims G,760 yards
and so on, for the list is not exhausted.
The foregoing facts illustrate the
state of things in Great Britain, as re-
CARDS most terms of measurement and
weight. Our acre is 4,S40 square yards.
IL Cassius NJ. Clay comes to the
support of Greeley, and gives many
reasons why he should have the sup
port of the colored population of the
South. He rakes up the past history
of Horace, and shows how rersistently
the Tribune has fought the white peo-
pie of the South in the cause of eman,
cipation when Grant was Democratic
tanner. "BleeGing Kansas" and "John
Browns body" are dragged out as no.
table trophies of the ''Sage of Chap.
paqua." Unfortunately, the very ar
cuments Mr.. Clay adduced for H. G
on one side will scorch him on the other
Mr.. Greeley ought to impose silence
upon all his old associates. He will ye
cry "save me from my friends. IN

the person may be away from home at

|. II is constructed that onc-third more of
the radating surface extends into the room. Civ
ing that much more additional heat without cX-
ira fuel.
.. 1t is the only lIot-Air Fireplace Heater in
the market. Like the regular built cellar heater,
it loses no heat, but confines It all to its lcgti-
purposes.
s. The fuel magazine is double the usual size,
extending from the lircboX to the top of the
stove, with capacity for twenty-lour hours sup
ply of coal.
l. The patent double cover for coal magazine
consumes the gas, prevents escape of gas into
the room, and makes it impossible for any puff
hngs or explosions to occur. This is an advant-
age possessed by no other fireplace stove in the
market.
). There arc three air ccamLers, wherein a
brisk circulation is kept up, drawing the cold air
in the room through heated tues into a large
hot-air reservoir, at the back of the stove.
No side pipes are used, as the air is heated
in reservoir having double radiating tlues and
double back, supplying large quantities of hot
arwithOut waste of heat or fuel.
T. The SUNSYsIpE utilities the waste heat so
thoroughly that we frequently heat an adjoining
room on the first, besides heating the rooms in
second and third stories.
s. damper on top of the stove, connected
with the hot air fines, controls the quantity of
hot air required for the use of either the upper
or lower rooms. All other fireplace stoves are
very iucouvenicnt in this respect.
.. The Crate is self-sealing, and no dust can
escape while shaking it.

The hill admitting the negro as wit
noss IN the State courts of Kentucky,
has rassed the Kentucky Senate by
vote If 30 TO 16. This is wise and pru-
don't LEGISLATION. and should have been
acted upon much sooner. The Hon.
Jesse Gilbert, Senator from the Padueah
District voted for the bill while our
own Senator, Major Hale voted against
it. Mr.. Gilbert, confesses that he was
converted to the bill by the speeches OF
the opponents of the measure. BY the
by we may not omit this opportunity OF
expressing our high admiration of Sena
tor Gilbert as a legislator. He is man
who acts from independent convictions,
untrammelled by prejudice, and without
fear of popular disfavor when conscious
of right. We learn hat friends are dis
posed to urge his name for Congressional
honors in this District, aud are only re-
strained by Mr.. Gilbert's own disinchna
ton to make the race.
The testimony bill will pass the House
by Is or 20 majority, according to bes
adyices

announce that the testimony bill ha
} nag.ed the sasuse by large majority
and is now law.

The Trouble not over.

1t appears that the trouble over the
Presidential nomination in the Radica
camp has not been settled The Wash
ington correspondent of the Louisville
Ledger writes, Jan 81:
Grants friend are becoming some
what alarmed as to the chances OF his
denomination at the Philadelphia Conven
ton. The ofice-holders have found out
that under the civil service regulations
Grant has no longer any patronage to
dispose Of worth having and it is hard to
bring them up to the usual discipline
This is an explanation Of the present
Radical attack on the civil service re-
form.
There are also some serions differ
ences over Colfax's position Wilson is
working for this place. on the ground
that the West now has the places on the
ticket. The latter meets with ouposition
from Blaine, however. who, now that he
is satisfied he can not secure the nl,ce
wishes to keep it away from New
England Several Republicans here
have expressed preference for Gen
Harlan, OF Kentucky"

A Wholesome RiII.

Mr.. Beck, of Kentucky, says the New
York SIN, has introduced the following
wholesome bill in the House of Repre-
sentatives:
No officer or clerk who has been, is, or
may be employed in any capacity what.
ever in any of the departments or bu
reaus of the Government of the United
States, shall, either while in such Office
or for two years after his retirement there
from, accept any employment from, rem
der any services, or give any information
to any person, body polite or corporate,
relative to any claim against the United
States or other matter which might have
come before or have been considered by
the department, or any officer or bureau
therein, in which he is, has been, or may
be employed.

PresidentiaI CampaIgn.

Besides the regular candidate of the
opposing parties, it appears that we are
to have several other Presidential aspi-
rants during the coming canvass. In the
first place, the National Prohibition par.
ty hold nominating convention next
month in Columbus, Ohio; the labor re
formers are to meet about the same time
and may decide upon a Presidential
ticket, while the woman's rights people
have already their candidate in the field

acouittaI of Mrs. wharton.

The telegraph reports the acquittal OF
Mrs. Wharton, who has been on trial at
Annpolis, Maryland. for several weeks
on a charge of poisning Gen. ketchum
The trial has been a long and exciting
one, and the result as announced was not
unlocked for by those who have read the
reports of the trial. 1t appears, how
ever, that Mrs Wharton was not so uni
versally regarded by the people of Bal
timore as innocent. \ letter from Bal
timore to a New York journal, signed
"Old Lawyer" says that in the former
city there is no difference of opinion
or as good as none-regarding the
question of her guilt or innocence, and
out Of one thousand of the best and
most intelligent citizcus of Baltimore not
two could be found who believe her in
nOcent.

The Politicai situation.

The political situation appears to be
"nuddled"-at least to outsiders. The
past week we have letters from Wash
ington from those in position to judge Of
the political situation, aud they confess
their inability to throw light upon the
future. The National Democratic eau
Gus. met and adjourned, advising simply
course of ''masterly inactivity for the
present.
The leading Democratic journals,
throw no more light upon the subject
The St. Louis Republican, the leading
advocate Of the Passive Policy is san
guine that the Missouri policy will be
adopted by the National party, .~hile the
Nashville B,,HHer-an organ OF the same
class is hopeless of the result. Our
kentucky Democratic exchanges are
positive in their assertions that in nc
contingency will anything but fair and
square Democratic fight be made.
The Passive Policy has done this
much if no more, it has struck terror
into the Radical ranks. The Libera
Republicans have been encouraged tC
make open and furious war upon th'
Administration, aud is forcing the at
tention of the country to the corruption
of Grant and his party. If they succeed
in awakening and inviting public atten
ton to these questions, the defeat o.
Grant is a certainty. The Democracy
of Missouri, which inaugurated the Pas
sive Policy.and practiced it successfully
in their own State election met in Con
vention on the 9th instant, issued
platform of principles, and recommends
National Convention for the nomi
ration of candidates for the Presidenc.
and Vice-Presidency. There are othe
States which will join in the call from
Missouri. This viii bring political af
fairs to point, and we may expect some
thing definite soon.

Road TaN-"PIay or Pay"

lhOdu roy VI
The editor of the COURIER, is consid-
erably exercised on the subject of good
roads, and seems to favor tax to make
them so. As he has opened the columns
of his Invaluable paper" to correspond
ents, I will offer some suggestions on the
subject.
When a man is appointed overseer of
q road, let him summons ere1y man in
his district to appear on the road at u
certain time, and submit this proposition:
"Will we work the road or pay a tax to
have it worked p If a majority of
those present prefer tax, let him report
that part of the road for taxation to the
County Judge who will order poll tax
of so many dollars on each man who Is
liable to work the road, and revenue
rtax on all the taxable property in that
provided, no man shall pay q
poll tax and also a revenue tax-"one or
the other" 1t being distinctly under
stood that the poll tax can be discharged
in Jail, and the tax on property can be
collected in moment by public sale.
/ No man to be arrested until the tax from
property be collected.
If on the contrary they prefer working
the road, let the overseer be required By
la,o to file an affidavit with the county
clerk ten days before court, declaring hp
road in good order as ,'the law directs
The absence of this affidavit being prinIs
facie evidence to the grand jury, aud af
terwards to the court, (over ruling and
complete), that the road is not in good
order. No witness necessary, no man 5
duty to report the overseer to the grand
jury He can report himself by not
filing the afidavit-"extenuati circum
stances" can be plead in open cmrt-no
botorc he grand juy Let it be 'deatt
by the law then" il the affidavit is no
reported by the county clerk.
When i road Is to be worked by taxa
ton, let it be put up to the lowest bid
der for twelve months, the contractor tt
give bond Sc Every man in that beat
will be interested in having it done a
chcaply as possible.
THIS Is a rough sketch Of bill whiel
it will he necessary to get passed by tn
Legislature for Fulton county. A. +
whether the writer Is in favor of it Go
any other man has nothing to do viii
the question
Work your road or pay tax to hav
it worked.

state Debt---SVVindIing some
where.

The Paducah Kentackjon is satisfied
that our State funds is being manuipula
ted to an alarming extent by private aud
interested parties. 1t claims to have dis
covered a rat in the meal tub. and thinks
it is fat glutonous rat, too. A bill
authorizing the issue of five hundred
thousand dollars in bonds by the State.
IN addition to her present Indebtedness
has passed both Houses, been signed bv
the Governor, and rumor says, the entire
amount has been taken up by the banks
These bonds are to bear eight per cent.
interest, which will of course increase
the State debt considerably beyond its
present proportions. The Keatuckiau
asserts that there are ample assets be-
longing to the State to pay off her in
debtedness, and that the conversion of
these assets into money for this purpose
was provided for last session but that
the present issue OF bonds is intended to
choke off that movement, and for the
interest of certain bankers. This is
bold intimation and the people will now
look to the Keutuckiaa to make good its
charges.
