The Culture Of Cotton.

Preparation Of Land. Lands for cot
ton cannot be too well prepared. Deep
and thorough blowing are requisite 70 in
sure a good crop. If, as has been proved
by actual experiment, deep blowing in
creases not only the yield but the quality
of grains, why may it not increase the
yield and quality of cotton
Cultivated lands for cotton
should be broken deep. If the soil is
good, turn them up with a two-horse
pillow, and follow with a subsoil plow If
the soil is thin, there is danger of turns
ing up too much clay; use, therefore, a
one-horse turn pillow, and follow with a
subsoil. This leaves the land mellow
and soft, and ready TO apply the ma
nures.
StubbJe or Sedge Ldnds.-If possible, il
is always better TO turn under all the
weeds and sedge in the fall. Turned
under while green they are fine manure
worth as much as half the guano in the
market; but if this be impossible, let the
sedge be burned off now, and with a
small scooter-sharp, but short-break
up your land close. In short time, har-
row it off, breaking all the clods. Now,
with your turn plows, you can turn II
over finely, which leaves it in a fine mel
low condition TO lay off and bed.
Bedding or Putting IN Manlfres. Your
lands, both cultivated and stubble, hav-
ing been broken up well, are now ready
to be laid off Having determined which
way to lay off your rows, and the dis
lance you intend them laid of-three to
four feet are the best distances, according
to the land-if you are not going to put
in manures with a scooter, run off your
rows with a scooter, and bed on them
with turn pillow, throwing two to four
burrows to each row. Split out the mid.
dies with large shovel pillow, and youI
beds are completed-ready for planning.
Beds made early, or a long time before
planting, should be rebudded. Theybe

The Wavs and Means Committee yester-
day had under consideration the bill re-
funding the cotton tax, which was referred
to them few weeks since. Ex-Governor
johnson, of Georgia, made an argument In
favor of the bill. The committee arrived
at no conclusion on the bill.-W ashington
Chronicle, 18th April.
We have before said that the fact that
many of these claims have fallen into
the hands of third parties will operate
against the passage of the bill; but 1t
would be erroneous to assume that the
real merits of the measure would be at
fected thereby. If the Government
owes A B sum of money which it has
uniustly seized, it does not follow that
the claim ought to be repudiated because
A B has found it to his advantage to sell
it to G ID for less than is expressed on its
face.
we are satisfied that there is but one
opinion in the South in reference to this
bill. The feeling is general that it ought
to pass, not only because it is intrinsi-
cally Just, but because it will afford r.
lief to people who are greatly in need
of it. 1t may be true that large sums
will fall into the hands of spectators.
Nevertheless, the parties on whom the
burden originally fell will be benefited,
as well as all classes in the South who
cannot fail to realize the recuperating
influence of the restoration of large
amount of capital of which they were
deprived by the strong arm before the
passions excited by the war had subsidized.
The passage of the bill will have deci-
ded influence in allaying the sectional
fires to which the imposition of the tax,
unconstitutional as the South believes it
to have been, and discriminating against
her producers in the time of their sorest
distress, as it certainly was-added fuel.
In this sense, the measure ought to COM
mend itself to the support of every friend
of genuine peace and good will between
the lately belligerent sections.
The objects of the bill are unexcep.ion-
able. But it contains some errors OF de-
tail which we trust can be corrected with
out endangering its success. For exam
pie, it provides that Commission shall
hold its sessions IN Washington City for
the term of ttoo years, to adjudieate claims
which may be preferred under the bill.
We submit that this Commission ought to
sit for a fixed period in each of the
States in which the tax was collected, 50
as to be accessible to the mass Of per
sons who have claims and who can pro-
cure their allows , without heavy cost
Otherwise, they will inevitably fall into
the hands of rings and jobbers to the
exclusion of the vast body of really
needy and meritorious claimants.

The MongreI state Convention.


The Black-and -Tans were in council in
the Capitol on the LIST of May. The
gathering was composed exclusively of
office-holders, hangers-on and hungry ex-
pectants The Plot reports thirty-eight
counties represented. The predominant
element was the worst phase of bitter-end,
low-down, social equality Mongrelism.

whom they bestowed consideration were
those that ate dirt and took up the cross
of NJ ,ngrelism and bore it with all its
beastly symbols without a murmur. They
claimed, and would have, an equal share
of all the nominations. The step was
long ways in advance of their previous
demands In all they said and did, the
idea was expressed that nine hundred
and ninety nine of every thousand Radl-
cal voters were blacks, and that it was
absurd and ridiculous for bakers dozen
of carpet-baggers and scalawags to claim
the h0nors and emoluments of n party
numbering 70, 900, and that henceforth

Farmers and Gardeners Column.
A Discovery About Corn.

In this thinking and observant age new
ideas and discoveries are constantly be-
ing made.
An intelligent and reliable farmer who
has for many years been making expari-
ments with corn, has discovered IN i'm
Portance and value in replanted corn,
which is quite novelty and worthy of
publication. We have always thought
replanted corn was of little consequence;
he replants, whether it is needed or not,
or rather he plants two weeks after the
crop is planted, about every fifteenth row
each way. He SAYS If the weather be-
comes dry during the filling time, the silk
and tassel both become dry and dead. In
this condition, if il should become sea
sonable, the silk revives and renews.
but the tassel does not recover. Then
for want of pollen the new silk is unable
to fill the Office for which il was desig-
mated. The pollen from the replanted
corn is then ready to supply the silk, and
the filling is completed. He says nearly
all the abortive ears, so common in the
earn crop, are caused by the want of pol
len, and that he has known ears TO dOu-
bic their size in the second filling.

FIFTH BALLOT.
SaTpct-EBaS Governors.

Is there a parallel to the ignominious
termination OF the career of the Carpet
Bag Governors, as a class? Witness the
case of Holden (who was politically and
professionally, if not personally, Carpet
Bagger) an abseonder from North Caro-
ina-the case of Reed of Florida, who has
been suspended from the functions of his
office ON account of infamous crimes
and the case of Bullock of Georgia, who
for time, went on swimmingly, rioted
on his ili-gotten gains-received gracious
ly the aduIation of Native Toadies-
spent his Contingent Fund freely, and ran
any number Of Railroads and plantations.
The end Of it all is that this Carpet
Bagger OF taurine patronymic has been
indicted by Grand Jury of Georgia for
maheasance in office in connection with
the public funds Gov Smith issued a
requisition for his arrest upon Governor
Hoffman, Of New York, and dispatched

the requisition could be served, the

But in 1878, it will be their time-the
time of the plundered yeomanry of the

Their judgment will be pronounced in
the election of members to the Legisla-
ture and of State officers. And we now
give warning to whomsoever it may con-
Germ that the issue will then be joined on
the repeal of this special Oficeholders
Tax.
The Legislature of 1872 has no right
to prescribe measure Of taxation for its
successors. Its declaration that specific
tax shall be collected after its own exis-
tence has ceased, was an arrogant preten-
sion which will be spit upon and trampled
down by the people.
The authors of the tax may put their
houses in order to dispense with the tax
after 1873; or they may prepare for trial
before the tribunal of the people when
the case is called next year

Information having been asked by a

We would like to tell THE CLARION CORES
pondent of all the mean things this devil
Avery is guilty of, but it would take
triple sheet the size of the Banner to record
them all, so we will content ourself with
giving only few. In the first place, he is
the friend and cronie of that black-hearted
Reverend hypocTtical villain Alexander w.
Murff, who was expelled from the Methodist
Conference last fall for LYING. He is also
charged by Mr.. w. A. Haggard. as being a
hog thief. We give Mr.. Haggard's own
words:
1T is useless to multiply words. it is
enough to say they raised their families on
stolen hogs and other things acquired in
find words in the English language that
will stigmatize them as they deserves they
are triendless; no true man is a friend to
such characters as Murff and Avery"
Avery's own mother said she would be
willing TO swear in court that she would
not believe him on oath, and in retaliation
for which, it is charged that he whipped
her, and then reported her as a Ku klux at
heart, that is, she had fed and entertained
them.
He is under several indictments in the
Circuit Court of this county for various
offences. During the war he was a Con-
federate sOldier-so-called. We heard sew
eral members of his company say, no longer
than last Sunday, that he was not known to
fire gun at yankee during the whole war.
That he was wounded by stray ball at
Altoona Nights. while skulking in the rear
seeking an opportunity to plumber.
This i a portion of his war record. And
last. though not least, in the catalogue of
his offenses, to cap the climax of his villain
