GRASS CULTURE.--In the course of q
long and learned address, delivered before
the East Tennessee Farmers convention, at
Knoxville. few days since, DIR. Lea, for
merly of New York, said he thought that
grass was the most important vegetation,
and was the means of restoring fertility.
In East Tennessee, there were numbers of
acres of land impoverished, and it was of
Importance to find the cheapest mode of
restoring it to fertility. Grass would do it,
and this climate was as well adapted to
raise grass as any other. Land was worth
500 an acre in New York to raise hay for
southern consumption.

Tho Political Troun,.s


LITTLE Rock, June 2.-In the SUI
preme court to-day the attorney general
filed an application for writ Of quo aoay-
ranto against Governor Baxter to show
by W hat authority he holds the office of
governor. The application sets forth
that the governor has unlawfully usurped
office. Although Governor Baxter refuses
to recognize the right of the court to hear
such application, and announced that he
will obey no mandate issued by it on such
application, and refused to employ council
to contest the case, Judges English and
Campton, both eminent attorneys, appear
ed in court and approved the filing
of the application. Arguments has been
going on all the. evening, and will be con-
tlnued tomorrow. The filing of the appl;-
cation by the encouragement renewed the
excitement of few days ago, when it was
rumored that such action was to be had.
Should the writ be granted it is thought a
conflict will ensue. The Governor holds
that the Legislature adjudcated the matter,
and that it was the only power that could
do SO. The militia are being reorganized
by Baxter.

PonT Deposit, Nov. 18th, 1873

Doubtful things mighty uncertain
Election over and it is demonstrated beyond
doubt that the old It'll is Republican, after
the hardest fought political fight ever wit
messed in Port Deposit, and the beauty is, it
was all dono good naturally. We carried
the State ticket by a majority of four, and
Haines by a majority of twenty two
More split tickets than | ever before wit
messed. And a sicker, moro crest-fallen
looking set eff Demos you never saw, than
there was here when the polls closed and
during the counting of the tickets, as they
had claimed, Dragged and blowed that they
would have so majority on the State ticket.
And by midnight the Demo- Greeleyites,
nigger-haters, white mans party in the 18th
would very willingly take, and even pay
good prices for a few niger votes; but to
the credit of the American citizen of Afri-
can descent their votes were not for sale
for money or fair promises. True to them
selves and theirparty, they voted solid for the
Republican ticket, and that is more than a
good many white Republicans did, we are
sorry to say, Or the result would have been
different here as to our county ticket.

The POStmaster-GeneraI.
THE POSTAL TELEGRAPH AND SAVINGS
BANK SYSTEMS.

We see it stated that Postmaster Genera
Creswell, in a speech in Baltimore recent
ly, earnestly advocated the postal telegraph
and postal savings system, which he
intends to recommend in his Forthcoming
report. He claimed that they had worked
well in England. To such extent is the
telegraph becoming q public necessity as
both facilitating and, in 4 degree, super
seding letter carriage, that there are quite
as strong reasons for its adoption by the
Government as for the original adoption
of the post-oflice. The people want and
must have thoroughly reliable and cheap
telegraphy. And with regard to savings
banks, the late panic has demonstrated
more than ever the Importance of money
cd institutions sustained by the invincible
credit of the Government. Our general
as well as savings banks found their safety
in their Government securities.
Why may not the Government offer
facilities of its own? The depostors in
our savings-banks are mostly of the poorer
working classes, with whom small savings
are everything; and it is of the first mpor-
lance that they have the greatest possible
security for their money. The money or
der system supplemented by the savings
bank system would prove an inestimabe
boon to the great public. Thus progress
seems to be the watchword of tho Postmas-
ter General. No obstacles deter him when
he has determined upon measure which
he deems an improvement. A man of sa-
gacity and courage, he persists steadily in
his purpose. and we may safely say that no
member of the Cabinet has done more to
popularize his department, by working it
in the interests of the people. If, in addi-
ton to the abolition of the franking privi-
lege, the extension of free city delivery,
the perfecting of the registered letter and
money order system, he succeeds in graft
ing on to his department the telegraph and
the savings bank. he will leave record
such as he and the country may well be
proud of. --1Nethodist

"Oh, | shall weather the storm. but wish

How TO LIVE ECONOMICALLY. - The
problem of how to ecenomiZe in living is
one that engages the serious attention of 4
great many people. Many little makes
mickle was one of Benjamin Franklin's
"Poor Richard - truisms that summarizes
the whole system of popular extravaganza.
If you wish to save money, economize in
little as we'll as in large items of ex-
penditure. Forall the household purposes
for which polishing powders, Bath bricks
and soap are usually used, excepting the
one thing of washing clothes, Sapolio is by
many times the cheapest article that can
he employed. To say nothing about its
great superiority to all other substances, it
is, on the score of money alone. by far the
cheapest. Remember this fact and save
many dollars every year.
The Cecil Whig. [volume] (Elkton, Md.) 1841-current, 1873-11-08

SPLIT TICKETs.-There never was such
spawn of "split tickets issued in an
electioneering campaign as in the one Just
closed. Reams of these birds of i'll omen
were printed and spread broadcast by che
candidates, of every conceivable variety.
They contributed not little to the weak
ening of the canvass, by inauguarating a
species of electioneering bushwhacking,
in which every candidate attempted to
trade and engineer for his own interest
with no concern for the remainder of the
ticket. AS it is in war, so it is in politics or
any other enterprise requiring concert of
action. A compact body is always much
stronger than one that is divided into many
parts, each part acting separately with a
view solely to it's own interest. When a
ticket keeps intact and strives unitedly for
the success of the whole, every man on
the ticket has the benefit of force that is
far more powerful than any individual
efforts he can make.
We have always opposed the split ticket
business, and if we have the good or i'll
fortune to go into future campaigns, we
announce now that no "split" tickets will
be printed or issued from the Wig Office,
except few at the last day to be used
about the polls by judicious workers. The
present season they were used for very
corrupt and dishonest purpose.

One Of the things you read of recently
occurred in Wilmington. Delaware. A
man was detected hurrying away from a
butchers stall with steak which he had
stolen under his coat. A policeman fol
lowed him home, and peeping through
the window, saw him give the steak to his
children, who devoured it raw. Upon re.
port of this being made to the butcher, his
bosom so slowed with benevolent sympa,
thy, that instead of prosecuting, he sent
the starving family large basket of meat
and a little cash to buy wood to cook it.

leave or shun the county, and if things
progress backward as they at present
threaten, and have been doing, in fifteen
years. there will not be mill of the many
now running on the Elk creeks, and the

latter is dark picture, but this is the de-

A CONTRAST.

When the Republican party are sue cess
full in an election quiet and good order is
maintained. But how changed, the wild
orgies and the DEVILS dances when the
Ring Democracy gain an election. Then
carnival only equaled by savages is in
augurated. Drunken riot, whoops and
yellS fill the street and make the night
hideous. Baechanalian songs and chorus
of oaths "vex the drowsy ear of night. -
On Tuesday night and Wednesday morn
ing the Court House bell was kept ringing
at intervals till daylight. A bonfire was
built in the Hollow" and tho imps form
ing in Indian file performed war-dance
round it, clapping their hands and yelling
in style that would have forced a grunt
of delight from Captain Jack and his
Modocs. A portion of the tribe we were
informed marched out to Postmaster-Gen
eral Creswell's residence, half mile from
town, and surrounding the house held
another scalp-dance IN the most improved
red skin fashion. One of the "saloons +"
was invaded by the savages and when
quite full, "hell on earth" was inaugural
ed, and with much difficulty deputy sheriff
Tim. White, drove them out into the street.
Mingling with this band of drunken sava-
ges, we are told, successful candidates
might be seen slavering like idiots, in fit
of drunken joy.
To bring about this state of affairs we
believe the Temperance Alliance, with its
meddling at the most inauspicious time
possible, contributed not little. The
Republican ticket was composed of men of
the first responsibility, moral and temper
ate. The whisky interest, naturally jeal-
GUS of such representative men, pitted
their combined force against it, while the
Alliance, so officious and full of swagger
but an hour before, did not contribute the
weight Of pin towards the support of
those who suffered from their business.
The drunken revel did not cease with
the dawn, but the town was compelled to
witness in humiliation and shame, the con.
tinuation of the same drunken spree
throughout the next day. The funds that
were not expended in the PURCHASE of
votes was appropriated by the representa-
tives of the party who perambulatcd the
streets, singing Bacchanalian songs and
visiting the grog shops as happy as band
| of Modocs.

A Western newsnaner. WISHING &c

"A Western newspaper, wishing to do
the handsome thing by the local doctor,
recently made the following announce
ment: cdr. Crawford was called, but
under his prompt and skilful treatment
the young man died Wednesday morning"
We don't know what the doctor said to
this; but if the editor of that newspaper is
taken sick we advise him not to call in
Crawford.
