PRACTICAL REFORM.


The following project is suggested by
the writer as the most direct and prac-
teal method of reform:
To insure success it will be necessary
that the people should dissolve their
connection with every political organi.
zation in the State, and invite the co,
operation of everyman, both black and
white, interested in the welfare of the
State.
The party being formed, the next
consideration will be to secure a fair
election in November next.
No one doubts the necessity of re-
form, the cry for it is universal; the
question now is, how to effect it.
The principal cause of our past fail
ure is, that we have been and still are
afflicted by the connection of certain
class of men who are so in habit of as,
Stunning control of every movement of
the people, and the people to submit,
ting to the imposition, as to result in
the making up Of ticket scarcely
preferable to that put forward by the
carpet-baggers themselves.
These men, as a class, must be de,
barred from usurping control as hith-
erto. In order to effect this, it should
be adopted as the invariable and in,
flexible rule of the organization, that
no man who has ever held an office, or
who is politician habitually or pro-
fessionally, shall be nominated by the
people.
This regulation is essential in order
to rid the movement of the incubus of
chronic Office holders and decayed and
corruptible politicians, who are ever
ready to grasp at any popular move
ment to peryert it to their own selfish
ends.
Now to secure n fair election, after
having made good nominations. As
the population OF the State is nearly
evenly divided between whiteand black.
as the entire white population will favor
the organization, and ms we can rea-
sonably expect some co operation from
the colored people, besides the indi-
vidual influence to be exerted by every
white and every black reformer, we will
be sure of majority, certainly in New
Orleans and the State at large, and
probably in every parish, except in
about six, where is an overwhelming
majority of black votes under control.
A correct and thorough enumeration
of this majority will then have to be
obtained through the agency of com,
mittees established in every voting
precinct in the State. Each commit,
tee should cause books to be opened,
registering ever voter in the ward or
precinct, as thoroughly as The State
official registration. which latter should !
be at the same time carefully examined
and scrutinized.
At the polling of the votes, commit,
teemen should be present TO keep ac-
count of every ballot deposited, and be
provided with duplicate lists and boxes.
and every reform voter should number
and register his ballot and endorse it.
BY this means incontestable evidence !
of the number of votes cast, the nuns
Der of persons in every precinct enti-
tied to vote, and the number of votes
cast for reform can be obtained. Thus
armed with the facts, right and the
truth, We can effect complete restor-
alton Of our rights, which If the
psurpers are not ready 10 concede to
us and to abdicate, we can then find
way TO secure our rights.

The following is a declaration of
principles nnmeroasly signed and
sent to US by mail for publication
DECLARATION OF PRINCIPLES.
We, the undersigned, disregard
ing former political affiliations, and
laying aside all mere partisan preju-
dices, and believing that the condi-
ton Of the country demands such a
course, do hereby pledge ourselves,
each to the other, to unite in an
earnest and persevering effort to
promulgate and diss seminate
throughout the whole country the
ALLOWING principles, which We deem
vital to the existence of this Gov
emment rs free and independent
Republic, and under such name as
majority may hereafter adopt,
when a permanent organization has
been effected:
L The only legitimate PURPOSE of
a tariff is to provide necessary rev
enue.
2. The support Of the Cohstitu-
ton as amended, and the protec-
ton of the rights of every citizen
under it.
8. Universal amnesty, and the re
storation of fraternal feelings and
relations among the people of the
different States.
4. a steady return to gold and
silver as the only safe and sound
basis of currencies.
3. Opposition to the present eau
ezs system in legislative bodies as
corrupting, dangerous, and at vari-
ance with the spirit of our institu-
tions.
6. The inviolate maintenance Of
the public faith.
Z. The abolition Of the demoral
izing "spoils system by a thor
ough reform of the civil service.
s. Opposition to all secret politi
cal societies, and to violence ano

soever committed.
9. And that as our country pro
crosses, the General Government
should more and more, within the
limits of the Constitution, be con
fined to that which is general and
common to the whole people; anC
to each State should belong tho
care and supervision Of all that i:

The Old Fashioned Mother.

Thank God! some of us have an
old-fashioned mother. Not a wo-
man of the period, ,enamelled and
painted, with her great chignon, her
curls and hustle, whose white jewel
ed hands have never felt the clasp
of baby fingers, but a dear old fash
ioned, sweet voiced mother, with
eyes in whose depths the love light
shoue, and brown hair, threaded
with silver, lying smooth upon the
faded cheek. Those dear hands,
worn with toll, guided our tottering
steps in childhood and smoothed
our pillow in sickness, even reaching
ont to US in yearning tenderness
when her sweet spirit was baptised
in the pearly spray of the river.
Blessed is the memory of an old
fashioned mother. 1t floats TO US
now, like the perfume of some wood
land blossoms. The music of other
voices may be lost, but the entran-
cling memory of her will echo in our
souls forever. Other faces viii fade
away and be forgotten, but hers will
shine on until the light of Heavens
portals shall glorify our own.
When in the fitful pauses of busy
life, our feet wander back to the old
homestead, and crossing the we'll
worn threshold, stand once more in
the low, quaint room, so hallowed
by her presence, how the feeling Of
childish innocence and dependence
comes over US, and we kneel down
in the mellow Sunshine, streaming
through the western window-just
where long years ago we knelt by
our mothers knee, lisping sour Fa-
ther."
How many times, when the tewp-
ter lures us on, has the memory Of
those sacred hours, that mothei's
words, her faith and prayers, saved |
rs from plunging into the abyss of
sin Years have filed great riffs |
between her and us, but they have |
not hidden from our sight the bright |
glory of her pure, true and unselflsh |
love.

From the Gallatin Examiner.

How to Produce Four or Five Thou
sand Pounds Seed Cotton to the
Acre.
This proposition to a Middle Ten
nesseean might be a shock to the
nerves; but to an Old Cotton plant
or would act as a sedative and pro
baby elicit a triumphant smile, for
in despite of all that may be said
against this potent article of COM
merce that fills its devotee's purse
with gold, persons that have been
brought up where it fourishes in all
its magnificent grandeur will ever
cherish warm feelings for it; and if
by circumstance are forced to aban-
don it forever, will cast many long
lingering look behind and heave
many deep sigh for days that are
past and gone to return no more.
To persons that wish TO test the ex-
pertinent of raising from four to five
thousand pounds seed cotton to the
acre in Middle Tennessee by follow
ing the plan herein set forth, viii be
pleased as well as amply renumerated
for their trouble. In the first place
select a tolerably level piece of land
and as loose land as you can get;
break it up deep and close, harrow
it and thoroughly pulverizc it, (cIod-
dy land produces nothing well;) lay
off your rows three feet apart; bed
it up in ridges as though You were
preparing for sweet potatoes; after
that take a crooked harrowtooth
and put it through a beam milar to
a plow beam and put hands to it
This is called a cotton opener; then
cross those ridges at right angles
you have thrown up; very small
tongue plOw will answer by the
plowman holding is out of the
ground aud not letting it 90 too
deep. Those crossings and open
ings or laying of as it is called must
be three feet apart. In this check
on the top of the ridge you must put
a shovel full of good well pulverized,
we'll rotted stable manure to the hill,
or half a teacup full of Dixon's com
pound and drop your seed upon it.
Do not throw your manure too much
in a heap; rather spread it in the hill.
Drop your seed the way you put up
your ridges and not the way you
laid of. BY this means you have
yonr cotton straight both ways and
you can pillow it both ways, thereby
you obViate hoeing if you are q good
plowman; but It should be remem-
bered that all crops are considerably
enhanced in production by hoeing.
Rub your seed thoroughly in wet
ashes, drop a table spoonful to the
hill and cover lightly; plant about
the goth April; thin out early and
leave two to three stalks 20 the hill.
BY this plan yon see You win have
four thousand nine hundred hills Of
cotton TO the acre. One hundred
ordinary bolls VIII make one pound
seed cotton andis very reasonable to

suppose that each hill will make
an asscrage of one hundred bolls to
the hill; making to the acre. which
would bring at the present prices of
cotton in Nashville two hundred and
forty or City dollars per acre, our
cotton made here being classed as
low middhngs if nicely handled.
Cotton planted so thin as three feet
each way will look somewhat dis
couraging to an inexperienced cot
ton planter; it will grow about four
feet high and will lock across the
rows in every direction and you will
then find it is close enough.
