RICH MEN IN THE SENATE.

chairs: Scott, Window, Carpenter,

which will cost 100000, and lead Off
Stewart and others, who will also build
galore in the same quartcr-Jones, l

and commercial principles, the usc of
money in buying places in the highest

stood by his cattle, and told them not
to be cast down, although they had
been bought for a price; "for," cxclaim-
ed Mr.. Jones, in effect, "Legislaturcs
are cattle, and we might as we'll meet
the truth like honest miners" After
awhile this man will be found standing
up in his place and talking about
"shystcrs," "liccntious press" although
he is already, or ought to be, a mark
for the world.

4 White Woman fOrsakes Her Husband
and Marrics n MulnttO.
Tho Son Kills tho Mothor.

The Hot Springs (Ark.) Courier has
the following details Of Il tragedy:
On Monday night four men proceeded
to the residence of John Bradshnw-n
light mulattO man-burstcd into tho
house and shot Mrs. Martha Bradshaw
in the left side OF the abdomen, and
after she fell, continued to shoot at her.
Lead was very literally bestowed on
Bradshaw, but ns luck would have 1t,
made no further impression than to
vcntilatc his shirt and drawers. Tho
parties charged with the crime are:
George Hall, former husband of Mrs.
Bradshaw; Abncr w. Hall, n young
man about Fl years Of age, son of Mrs.
b.; Geo. Burroughs and VIM. Brown.
Abncr Hall, the son of the wounded
woman, it appears, entered the house
first, through the back door, while Geo.
Hall, tho former husband, burstcd in
the front door. The woman states that
Just at this time her son Abncr Hall,
rushed towards her and shot her in the
abdomcn; after which, it is said, there
was Il general fire from the pistols OF
three OF the parties.
AS near as we can learn, Mr.. George
Hall, one of the prisoners, was married
to Martha Kcziah, tho victim of the
assault, about 1851 or 1852, and lived
with her up to the second or third year
of the war, when, through dissati5fac-
ton, unfaithfulncsS and rccrimination,
! no took his two children n son and q
daughter, and left her. Since that time,
| it is charged that she has lived an aban.
doncd kind of a life, which charge she
does not deny. About year ago she
was legally married to Bradshaw. She
was the daughter OF Rev. Mr.. KeZiah
of the Methodist church, a man who
in his life time, was noted for his piet,

PIOUS LOTTERIES.

a bill has passed the Ohio House of
Representatives prohibiting lotteries
and gift enterprises, and is understood
to include within its operation raflling
for silvcr-platcd trumpcts at fairs and
other such schemes. This is right. A
clergyman who has to gamble for
living might as we'll stop praying and
go into the policy business openly. lie
would at least deserve credit for open
dealing. 1t is pitiful to see churches
advertising in provincial newspapers
at half rates, OF courSe-that n splendid
tireman's hat will be given on such a
day to the fireman who gets the largest
number of ten cent ballots, or that
several splendid prizes will be grabbed
for ut n church fair at twenty-five cents
grab. Ancient and modern pagans
have never burlesqued religion in this
way. The shrincs Of their gods have
always been rich in voluntary gifts. 1t
is left for Christians to secure support
! for churches and ministers by tho
mcanest methods of lotteries and ganb-
| ling.-N. J.. SIN.

There are n good many Congressman
who have not (yeD drawn their increas-
cd pay, and some of them are telling
tho folks ut homo that they "have not
drawn it." But tho amount undrawn
stands to their credit, and will be avail
ablo to themselves or to their heirs Mt
any time, even for years to come, until
the account is actually closed by re-
cCipt for tho money. The honest way
Is to draw the increased dividend and
rcconvcrt it into the national Treasury.
The dishonest way is to say "I have
not drawn it," and then to quietly
pocket it hereafter.

AMERICAN CONTRIBUTION TO THE
VIENNA EXPOSITION.

Tho executive commissioner in charge
of tho Office in Washington for the vi
cnna Exposition says there will DO
555 more exhibitors than there were
ut Paris in 1867. Over $50 firms con-
tribute specimens of machinery in
motion, and will occupy space of
about $4,000 square feot. Tho speci-
mems, which include almost every ma
chine capable Of being propelled by
steam power, will be run by American
made engines. In this particular I'M
provemont will be made upon the Paris
Exposition, where our machinery was
run by foreign steam power.
Tho American Geographical publica-
tions will reflect credit upon the United
States. Among tho articles exhibited
will be large collection of volumes of
printed statistics, over two thousand In
number, surveys, maps and other OBJ
Jects of interest, including photographs
of tho mountainous regions OF tho
country. One of the most interesting
features of the American Department
will be n collection Of over seven thor

monthly periodicals. 1t appear. y.

THE LEGISLATIVE CAUCUS...NO COM.
PROMISE.

\ full meeting of the members of the
Peoples Legislature present in the city,
was had last evening. Several intluen-
tial members from the country parishes
were present, as we'll as Gen. McNiil-
len, United States Senator elect. After
some discussion on tho perfecting of
means Of resistance to tho kellogg tax
gathcrers and other bogus groupings out
OF his pretended authority, the question
of tho so-called attempts ut compromise
were canvassed. Itappeared to be well
understood that tho shallow scheme Of
Kellogg to seducc Individual country
members of tho legal Legislature by
promises oflocal patronage, had broken
down disastrously in two ways. Tho
people In most instances repudiatcd
tho disgraceful bargain and sale Of their
delegated honor and rights, whore it
was really sustained by Kellogg, and
tho latter in many instances fails to
make his promises good. Tho second
result is, that the del,ided negroes, find
ing themselves deprived of their antlc
ipated share in tho spoils of recent
political swindlcs, arc loud and deep In
their tlenunciatiOns and threats against
the faithlcss affidavit Governor.
The meeting was unanimous in its
determination to resist unitetlly every
attempt to obtain IN acquicScenCe III
the gross fraud and outrage Of the pre-
tenders, and seemed determined that
tho force of tho United States Govern
mcnt must be brought into every par
ish and used before Kellogg could be
obcycd.
Gen. McNillen was very emphatic
on tho necessity of united and persis-
tent opposition till tho next meeting of
Congress-, in which event there was
every reason to expect substantial re-
licf.--Picdy,t,,c, 2Sth.

Hall has left this woman, he has been
married again to very respectable
lady, and is said to be doing we'll. Tho
son, Abner Hall, returned to this place
last summer, and tried, it is said, to
get his mother to leave Bradshaw, but
for fear she would not be taken care of,
or for some other cause did not leave.

Pure Peruvian guano used in rolling
will not kill cotton seed, but super
phosphates will.
Cotton planting being finished, and
corn hardly ready for its first working
time will be afforded to look after the
| ssside'' crops, such as sweet potatoes,
! drilled corn, nillet, &c.
POTATOES.
We value this crop very highly
considering it, for stock purposes at the
South, superior to turnips, beets, &C.,
being more easily raised and more
nutritious than they. Let the English
man raise his turnips: his climate suits
that plant, ours does not near SO well,
but does suit admirably the potato,
which is capital food for sheep, hogs
and cows. Land intended for this crop
should be bedded up and gotten ready
to receive the "slips" as soon as they
appear. We always try to put out
some the first week in May if possible.
Generally speaking, tho sooner they
are put out the larger roots they will
make. Selecting a suitable time, drop
the slips along the beds MT proper in
tervals, and with Il blunt stick placed
on and near the root end Of slip, push
it down in the earth and with another
thrust of the stick push dirt into the
hole left when the stick is withdrawn.
This is Il very rapid method and quite
as successful as the usual one of stoop-
ing down and planting with tho hands.
DRILLED CORN.
The value of this as Il forage crop is
beginning to be appreciated among our
people. The amount raised to an acre
is almost fabulous we hear of eight or
ten tons after it is thoroughly dried. TO
succeed, tho ground must be very rich,
and must have been ploughcd several
times and that deeply, so rs to bring it
into the best possible condition. Plant
in drills three feet apart and SOW three
bushels of seed per acre. When up,
plough it as you would other crops.
The latter part of April is Il good time
to SOW it.
Millet stands drought and neglect
better than corn, but like it, requires
rich soils to produce best results. Sow
in drills the Same distance apart as corn
a half Il bushcl to one bushcl of seed
per acre will be ample. The "cat tail''
is one of the best varieties.
GROUND PEAS.
a patch of these pays handsomely to
one who raises his own pork. Plant on
a level or on very fiat beds, so that they
may be easily earthed up with the
three and a half feet
apart, hills two feet apart in drill. They
come up quicker when shclled but may
be planted without. Drop two pods in
each hill. a variety largely cultivated
in Tennessee, which has three seeds in
each pod, is best for field culture, being
more upright and less spreading in its
growth, and therefore admits of hilling
up with the plough much better than
the common variety. If the pods arc
planted without shelling, tho sooner it
is done now the bcttcr.-SOMhcr3, C,H-
