Corn Planting and Cultivation.
From the Tennessee Agriculturalist,J

I have thought it would not be amiss to

In the first place, we all prepare our
land in pretty much the same way, though
it is our failing, generally, to plough too
shallow. Avery's and other patterns are
used in turning the land. My mode is to
turn the ground as deep as possibly can !;
harrow well, and lay off both ways before
commencing to plant, and then drop the
seed the first way of laying oil. In TINS
connection, I would say never put boy or

CAIRO. MEMPHIS AND SHREVEPORT.

CAIRO, MEMPHIS AND SHREVEPORT.
On the sixteenth instant there wss a
great celebration of a great event in
Cairo. The happiest day the APPEAL
will ever know will probably dawn
when We record incidents Of such day
in Memphis, when Shreveport, and
Kansas City, and Selma, and Vieks-
burg, and Jackson, and Bolivar are
made accessible by perfected railway
lines. Cairo was thus blessed by good
fortune when thousands from Vincennes
aud beyond were hurled by rail and
steam into the once dismal dens of
Cairo. Cairo lifted up its voice and wept
for very joy, and the tears traced deep
marks adown the pleasing face of the
blessed Bulletin. There was, and prop
erly, an enthusiastic celebration Of the
event, and if Memphis had listened
it might have heard the suggestion
that this Cairo and Vincennes road
will soon cross the Mississippi
Taking charge Of the million acres of
land belonging to the Memphis and
Belmont Iron MOuntain) company, it
will extend a line from Cairo to Mem
phis, and using the line already built to
DevaIls Bluff, find the shortest possible
route from New York through Cairo to
the eastern terminus Of Tom Scotts
Southern Pacific in Texas. What does
Cairo think Of this suggestion? How
otherwise can the wealth OF two oceans
be induced to make Cairo its point Of
transit on the Mississippi? This Cairo
and Vincennes road is the link that
unites the East with the Southwest, and
opens up for development one of the
finest portions Of the West. Less than
ten months ago, Messrs. Winslow and
Wilson took the contract for the COM
pletion Of this road, and with character
istic promptness and vigOr they have
gone forward, and in that time have
built and equipped road one hundred
and fifty-seven miles in length which is
declared by those who
have seen it to be the best road ever
on the continent.

swore day before yesterday, when ques-
toned by a Congressional Committee,
that he wouldn't believe the railroad

moreover, that he was going to bring a
number Of people to swear the same

and the Cakes was torn trunkless. He

There is every indication that rich and

made by both parties TO this fight before
the investigation is closed. Both Nc
Comb and Ames and their respective
friends are terribly in earnest; and no
matter what the original purpose Of the
committee may have been, it will be an
exceedingly difficult matter for it to COW
er up the short-coming of any of their
friends, or TO whitewash them. McComb
is the shrewdest, bOldest financier we
have known. He is put together on a
grand scale. His head and body are
alike perfect. His shrewdness and tact
are illustrated in his choice of an Attor-

THE NARRow.eAUeE.

Good iron, on a railroad, with an aver
age traffic, will last eight or ten years.
The meanest iron lasts only from three
to six years. Fast and heavy trains de-
stroy the iron tracks very rapidly, and
there is great difference,of course, in the
value of iron. Light locomotives, such
as are now used on narrow-gauge roads,
make little impression on the iron rails,
and in this fact consists a feature of the
great excellence of these roads. The
iron costs one half less and lasts twice as
long as that of broad-gauge roads.
Moreover, well stocked narrow-gauge
road would readily do all the business of
any two roads in the South. Such are
assertions of those engaged in the man.
agement of these roads. A letter in
another place tells of the narrow-gauge
from Helena to Little Rock.

TnE GREAT EvIL OF OUR POLITIos.

THE GREAT Evil OF OUR POLITICS.
I The London Times, in an article upon
the reelection OF General Grant, makes
the following remarks, from a British
standpoint, which are well worth the
sober and dispassi0nate consideration of
the American people. 1t says:
1t is said that there are sixty thousand
men in the United States holding office
at the viii Of the President, and every
one has been forced to contribute on an
average about fifty dollars to the ex-
penses of the election. This is the evil
dence of a witness who strongly desired
the reelection of General Grant, and
who cannot, therefore, be suspected of
having been perverted by an undue bias
against his cause. An average subscrip-
ton of ten pounds a head represents six
hundred thousand pounds; and it need
not be added that the sixty thousand
Office-holcers, who are dependent on the
pleasure of the President. gave their
labor as well as their money to secure
his return. 1t is evident that this is a
power which must 20 on increasing, if
some radical change be not effected to
check il. The number of placemen
must increase with the development of
the States, and the value of post under
Government must be rated higher as
other avenues of employment become
more crowded If there are sixty thou
sand men now, there may well be one
hundred thousand twelve years hence,
spending their two millions sterling to
secure the reelection of their patron. 1t
can scarcely be doubted that the
nation will have to repay much of
this expenditure to the Federal
placemen, if the repayment has not
been already discounted. Nor were the
contributions from office-holders, the
sole fund to work the election. A large
number of bankers, merchants and
others, were found ready at New York
to subscribe a thousand pounds each to-
ward the expenses of General Grants
election, and though it may be said that
subscriptions like these might have
been received on both sides-as they, in
act, We're in some degree-the partisans
Of the President had an overwhelming
advantage in opportunities of spending
money to influence the result.
