Grants plea of n "novice" as an excuse
for his blmiers and crimes during his
official term, fully i%us!ifes the Richmond
EAq1Ar in saving:
Tho idea of a President confossinq
that he entered upon his duties 81 more
novice four years ago, and laying Ill thu
blame Of his mismanagement upon his
want Of experience. Great hsarens,
what has the ro0ublic come to The
very idea Of orr government was based
upon the necessity of q person OF cyDp-
rience heing in the Presidents chair-a
man who had learned the art Of govern
ing a country.
1t was not created as a school for no.
vices and tyros-a place for young ap'
prentices to experiment in. This i,
healthy. We have been in the hands o
n novice for the last four years. He has
just begun to learn what his duties IRE
and we must keep him four years Longer
that we may get the benefits Of his OK
perienco acquired at our expense, ani
Mt the EXPENSE OF orr murdered institu
tons. We think it timo we dispensed
with this %iourneyman OF apprentice
and selected q master workman for th.
position.

! Decidedly Sharp Transac.i9n.
4 gentleman engaged in business in
Georgia, some weeks siuce engaged 2
certain proprietor Of q daily newspaper
-with a job office attacLod-to print
him u thousand cards. Now it happen
ed that tine party ordering the cards was
engaged in a business that attracted
many people from all sections Of the
country to visit his place and %soiourn
therout. II struck the man Of newspa-
porial tendencies and card printing facil-
tiles that this would be . good chance
to advertise his business; and be, like n
ahrowd mar OF business, put his card on
the reverse side OF the pasteboard, ia
king care to insert a. the lower right
hand corner Of the billet OF the afore-
said Georgian the magic word "oyer.''
When the bill was presented to our bust
ness man he grew slightly profane be-
cause he was charged double price for
his cards, on the ground that "they were
printed on both sides" He said and
wrote some things that were moro for
chile than polite. Now what we would
like to know is, who these parties are,
and what they all mean by such conduct
as thOse.-Er.

as Federal right, are to be preserved; in

Republic? Two such acts 81 the Senate
have just sent down to the House-no
doubt inspired by the Administration

Greeley as offering US all one of the very
bost symbols for the unity Of opposition,
and hence, without reference 70 the past,
looking on TO the present aud the future,
| give him and his friends a hearty hand
welcome, and | shall be happy to cooper

Washington, June 1.-THE tobacco

large quantities of tobacco in bonded
warehouses; since the sixth OF June, the
dav when the new revenue law was sign
p1 hv tho President, ara as'onished ut
the decision Of Commissioncr Douglass
that tobacco put in bond since that date
and withdrawn for consumption must
pay the present tax OF thirty-two cents
per mound. The Commissioner eavs
that The wording Of the law is TO that
effect, and that only thetobncc0 in bond
on that day is entitled to he withdrawn
after July LIST. at n new rate OF twenty
cont5 per pound. kilograms aud letters
in large numbers Were received ~vneier-
day from merchants in New York, Phila-
dclphia Baltimore and Richmond, ask
ing if there is not ao,ne mistake. Mr..
Douglass replied that he Ind M discrc-
ton in the mattor, and tho parties ag-
gricyed must appeal to Congress for re-
lief. A numbnr Of tobacco dealers arc
under the impression that after July
frst they will be entitled to q refund OF
the difference in the old tax ofthirty-two
cents and tho now tax Of twenty cents on
all tobacco in their possession. Com
missioner Douglass is preparing a letter
to the effect that such applications are
useless, as no such provision is made in
the new law.

In this vicinity the fruit crop will be
largest known in many years. Every bush
is overloaded; and this is particularly the
case with the peach trees. Apples are
equally abundant.
We are informed the crop Of mountain
potatoes will be unusually fine should no
accident happen.
Wheat throughout tho Southern half
Of the State is pretty much all harvested.
1t will be, in the aggregate. the largest
crop since the war. In the Northern half
the promise is still better.
Oats in many parts of middle and low
or Fast Tennessee will be not moro thaB
u two-thirds crop.
Grasses will yield about an average
throughout the State. In this region,
owing to the dry weather Of May, the crop
will be light.
Com PROMISES splendid crop. In Ham

the growth is small owing to late plant.
ing and the early lrouth; but the staId
is good, the plants. are vigorous, and with
a reasonable share Of ram We may antici-
pate a full average. The prospects are
that the crop in the western, middle and
extreme ca'tcrn portions Of the State will
be the hest gathered for many years.
The basis of the foregoing statements
are: information gathered from our citi.
zeus who have travelled III various portions
Of The State; from Il careful analysis of re-
ports of our State exchanges; and from
personal observation in orr own vicinity.
We are to be blessed with a plentiful
year; croakers and prophets of disaster to
tho contrary notwithstanding.
People who by their subsistence have a
right to rejoice With the husbaudman who
supplies it.
Our -four, meat, and fruit will be main
ly supplied from our home product, and
the money paid for it will remain in our
midst to stimulate trade instead Of going
to New York. Baltimore, Cincinnati, and
St. Louis. In this respect this should
not be al exceptional yea. Were the ag-
~ricultural resources Of our section proper
ly apprecia ted and developed, there is no
reason why VIC SHOULD not ship thousands
of dollars worth of agricultural products
where we now ship tens, and at the same
time be independent Of outside markets
for the supplies that We annually ship
from the North and Northwest.--Times.

that has been developed since the Grant

tins ago. Charles II. Hayden was indie

case WAS to have ON on in the winter
term OF the United States Court, bit de

Of a few politicians, who are not so much
impructicable OH their own account as
mistaken in their estimate Of the situation,
the Liberal movement grows and grows
and grows. Wherever Greeley and Brown
come face to face with the Democratic
masses, they sweep the Geld. As it was
in Indiana it will be 10 Kentucky. There
is no stopping the stream that flows out Of
