The OPPONENTS OF THE ORANGES

The OPPONENTS OF THE ORANGES -
On Monday last, the railroad agent at
this place received imperative orders
from A. Pope, Esq, General Freight
Agent of the Wilmington, Columbia
and Augusta. and Charlotte, Columbia
and Augusta Railroads, whose heud-
quarters are ut Wilmington, North Caro-.
lima, not to receive any cotton for ship
ment to the North. unless the same was
to be shipped either by the Atlantic
Const Line or the Inland Airline.
The first of these lines is by the way of
Columbia, Wilmington and Weldon to
Portsmouth; the latter is oia Charlotte,
Goldsboro and Weldon to the. same
point. In obedience to this order,
which was positive and unqualified, tue
agent refused to give receipts for cotton
that was placed upon the platform to be
forwarded by other routes. Aud 80 the
refuse to be dictated to by this soullcss
corporation that assumes to bs their
master, their cotton shall not he allowed
railroad transportation at all, and the
whole business OF the country brought
to stand still. It mny be that they are
standing in their own light in not pre-
ferripg the lines that the autocratic Pope
has commanded they shall ship by; but
so it is that they choose other lines.
Some OF them desire to send their cot
ton over the South Carolina Railroad to
Charleston; others wish to continue to
send theirs by tho way of the Raleigh
and CASTOR Railroad to Portsmouth.
These lines are preferred. possibly, be-
cause they are more expeditions, or, ii
may be, because the rates are lower.
On this point We are not informed, nor
is it material what the reason is. 1t is
enough that the merchants prefer other
lines. 1t is their unquestioned right to
determine LT what route their produce
shall be carried; and Mr. Pope, and the
authorities he represents, will discover
before the end of it that the merchants

The Judicial Eleetion.

Frequent inquiries have been made
at the Executive Department indicat-
ing doubt in the minds OF many Off
GERS and other persons throughout the
State as to the right to elect Judges
and Prosecuting Attorneys in October
next under the act entitled IAN act
to divide the State into circuits for
judicial purposes, fixing the time of
holding courts therein, abolishing the
courts of Common Pleas and trans
ferring the business thereof to the
Circuit Courts, and providing for the
election of Judges and Prosecuting
Attorneys in certain cases, approved
March 6, 1873. The section providing
for an election is as follows:
''SEc. 81. On the second Tuesday
of October, 1873, a general election
shall be held in the proper counties
to elect Judges and Prosecuting At
torneys as may be holding their Office
by appointment of the Governor, and
such election shall be held and con-
Quoted under the laws and regulations
governing general elections in this
State"
1t is the opinion Of the Governor
and of the Attorney General that no
good reason exists why the provisions
Of the law above quoted should not be
strictly carried out, and the election
held as provided for by the I4egisla-
ture. In their opinion, there is no
need that proclamation be issued, as
has been expected by some, and none
will be made. 1t is the earnest re-
quest of the Governor that all officers
throughout the State, charged with
duties under the act, will carefully
and promptly discharge the same.

A gentleman, says the Western Ku-
ralist, anxious to ascertain the effect
of transplanting at night, instead Of
by day, made an experiment with the
following results:
He transplanted ten cherry trees
while in bloom, commencing at four
O'Clock in the afternoon. Those
planted during the daylight shed their
blossoms, producing little or no fruit,
while those planted in the dark main
tained their condition fully. He did
the same with ten dwarf trees, after
the fruit was one-third grown. Those
transplanted during the day sh !.
their fruit; those transplanted during
the night perfected their crop, and
showed no injury from having been re-
moved. With each of these trees he
removed some earth with the roots.
The incident is fully vouched for; and
if few similar experiments produce
a like result, it will be = strong argu-
ment to horticulturalists, ETC., to do
such work at night.

hopeless attempt to revive the
Democratic party is to be persisted
in for another three years, and all
healthy political progress blocked
or needlessly retarded for the same
period. There are more people
who have been in the habit Of vo-
ting the Democrats ticket in Ohio
than in most Of the other States,
and Allen, Thurman q Co. are
working desperately to rally them
and get them into some sort Of dis
cipline against election day. In
this effort they zealously, II not
ably, seconded by the local organs
of the defunct party. II il were to
succeed, the effect, both in the State
itself and upon national politics,
would be simply calamitouk

In his recent speech At Waverly,
Ohio, Senator Thurman had, of course.
70 take tilt At Morton, and he ac-
eordisgiy attempted to prove that
Senator Morton had favored the in
crease of salary measure. He said.
when the bill came to the Senate
there was a test vote on the amend
meht made by Mr. Edmonds, Of Ver-
mont, and that vote was to strike of
all the House amendment except so
much Is related to the Presidents
salary. IF that amendment had pre-
vailed and the rest Of the resolution
agreed to, the whole effect would have
been to raise tia Presidents salary,
and not asingle member Of Congress

This statement is grossly incorrect.
Whether through ignorance, forget
fulness or design We do not know, but
Senator Thurnan n making this
statement conspicuously departed
from the truth. These are the facts :
When the appropriation bill came
back from the House to the Senate
with the salary clause inserted, Sen.
stor Morton moved to strike out all
that related to the salaries Of Senators
apd Representatives. This motion
WAS entertained by tho President, but
at the suggestion Of Senator, and fol
parliamentary reasons, Senator Nor.
ton withdrew his motion temporarily
Afterwards it was renewed by Senator
Edmonds, put to vote. and Mortor
voted for it. The motion Of Edmonds
which Thurman says Senator Mortor
voted against, was FIRST made by Nor

it when renewed by Edmonds. 8,

The New York Tribune has no
love for the Republican party, but
gives it a dab whenever Il can get
chance. Yet it is constrained to say
''the back pay bill was not part,
measure at all, and the Democrats did
rather more than their share in sus-
tanning it." That is the plain truth,
and no Democratic paper ventures to
face it.

Keeping Apples.

A successful orchardist in Maine
has an odd theory in regard to thu
decay Of apples. His farm of fifty
acres, with the exception of about
ten acres in pasturage, is covered
with apple trees of various sizes
and eges, though q majority of them
are now bearing. One of his theories
is not to use any animal manure
around his trees, but to depend
wholly upon vegetable manure in
the form of mulching. He defends
this position upon the ground that
the one is the natural method and
the other artificial latter tend
ing to decay and the former to
health.
He kept over 1000 bushels of ap-
pies, mostly Baldwins, through the
past winter and spring in his cellar,
and has only just sold the last of
them, the prices ranging from 81 to
81 per bushel. He says by his
mode apples may be kept the year
round without losing their richness
or crispness; and his method should
be understood by every orchardist.
His theory is that the early rotting
and decay of apples is due, to "
great extent, to a vegetable miasma
in the air, which is communicated
to it by vegetable evaporation un
der certain conditions. The effect
of this miasma is first seen in q
minute speck; sometimes about a
dozen may be counted on the same
apple. His remedy is daily air
ing of the cellar or place where the
apples are stored, arranging so aa
to have o brisk circulation until all
the stagnant air is expelled and its
place occupied by pure, healthy air
