Selling by Weight.

Every consumer of food in the land
ought to unite in movement to COM
pei by law the sale of vegetables, fruits,
eggs, and nearly every edible article,
now sold by measure, by weight
There ought to be no abandonment Of
the effort until the result is accomplish
ed. 1t is the only honest way of bny-
ing and selling. The swindling prac-
ticed now upon those who buy fruits
especially, by measure, is something
horrible to contmpiatc, in view Of the
possibility of future punishment. The
boxes in which fruits are sent are all
sizes and shapes. They are filed in all
sorts of ways. Cases ofthe same num-
Der of boxes, from different producers,
will differ from three to six pounds in
weight of fruit, though the quality
thereof may be the same. The family
who buys from one consignment gets
more for the money paid than those who
buy from another; the producer who is
most honest gets least. A premium is
thus paid for deception, to call it by no
worse name; and the worst of it is, the
consumer, in nine out of ten instances;
does not know that he has been cheated.
Apple and pear barrels are as varied
in sizes as clover leaves. 4 man who
buys barrel of apples does not know
whether he is getting two or three
bushels. Few people stop to think
about it. There is no law fixing the
standard Of barrel of apples or other
fruit that we know Of If producer is
honest enough to send his apples in bar
rels containing two bushels and half to
three bushels, there are plenty of dealers
dishonest enough to transfer them to
barrels that contain but two bushels;
and barrel of apples is a barrel of
apples, no matter what size. Either
there should be standard fixed, or the
fruit should be sold by weight.
Take eggs as another example. Sold
by the dozen, it is often the case that
the same person pays as much for a
dozen small as for dozen large eggs
getting in the one instance from one
third to one-half less (actual weight
for his money than the other This is
not only unjust to the consumer, but to
the poulterer who keeps large and i'm
proved breeds of chickens. True a
dealer may charge more per dozen for
the large than for the small ones. Some
retailers do; but the retailer pays the
commission merchant no more per dozen
for barrel of large eggs with the dozens
it contains marked on it, than for small
ones. Eggs packed in a barrel should
be weighed before packing, and the net
weight marked on the barrel, so that
the commission merchant may know
what he is selling and the retailer may
know what he is buying.
We might urge the same reasons for
weighing vegetables ofall sorts. There
is great difference in the real value of
lunches of asparagus, rhubarb, celery,
radishes, &c, as put on the market
We understand what difficult reform
this is to accomplishment it is an inno-
walton which is revolutionary; but it is
revolution which ought to be under
taken and may be successful

Draining with Tiles.

Use tile when they can ic procured,
IN all soils and all places requiring, under
draining. being superior to any suhSt:-
tute. My ditching is done mostly with
two-nch solctile, and ! hold from care
fAl practical experience that whatever
SEED tile is used the bottom of yonr
ditch should he no wider than the sole
Of your tile. and the last spadng should
be dug with a GRAFT no wider than the
be in possession Of the different size
gratis to match the SIZE Of tile used.
Nv experience in digging a ditch when
using two-inch sole tile is this: Dig
your ditch two and a half feet deep
The first spading should be the width
of a common barn-shovel and the depth
of an ordinary spade. The second spad-
ing should he dug with a long graf, six
inches wide. The third or last spade
is dug with Il graft the width Of the sole
of the two-:nch tile. The third Spading
done, the sides are thinly pared OFF to
present good job. The clearing and
pairing operation is then done with a fiat
bottom spoon with IA long handle, opcr
atcd while standing on top Of the ditch.
The loose dirt thrown out, thcn pare
down the rougher places quite smooth.
Then Won have handsome ditch pre-
pared for the tile. The fifth operation
is the laying of commonwealth plaster
ing-lath side by side in the bottom of
the ditch, breaking joints in the laying.
The tile is then put upon the spoon and
placed in their little bed without the
operator getting into the ditch. The
lath serves the place of boards, and is
very practical and cheap. The bottom
of the ditch being only as wide as Your
tile it holds the tile from moving side
WAYS. But little dirt is thrown out in
this mode of understanding. | find it
necessary always to put lath or boards
shoe tile YOU cannot use lath, therefore
YOU must fit the board to the width of
tile, remembering to dig no ditch wider
at the bottom than the tile you are
using The ditch dug, tile laid, put on
light sprinkling of straw, cedar-brush
or hop-vines. If the joints are not tight
put over them light sod; fill your ditch,
and then see twice a year that the
mouth of your ditch is protected, and |
warrant that drain will be there for your
children, and that your lands will return
ten-fold on cost of laying the drain.

Judge CulIOm.

From the New Orleans Republican
We extract the following compliment
tary and we'll deserved notice of our
old friend and neighbor, Judge e.
North Cullom. When Judge Gull
lum first assumed the ermine as
Judge of this district, we predicted
the eminence to which he would
some day attain, and noticed par
ticularly, at that time the very traits
in his character, which we thought
justified our predictions, and which
the Repablican now points out:
OK LEAVE OF ABsENcE.-Having obtain
cd leave of absence for fifteen days from
Governor Kellogg, Judge f. North Cullom
left the city last evening for his country
home in Avoyelles parish, whittier his wife
aud family had preceded him. Judge Sau-
cier has kindly consented to perform the
duties of the Judge during his absence.
Judge Cullom is one of the hardest work
ing Judges on our bench, rs well as one of
the ablest. His uniform kindness to attOr-
news who appear before him, his close APP
plication to business, his unimpeachable
integritv, and his fine analytical mind,
have drawn great deal more business in
10 his court than ever before. During the
past season his docket has been always
crowded, and he richly deserves the little
relaxation he is about to obtain among the
friends and neighbors of his boyhood. We
do not imply that his health is in any way
impaired by the close labor of the past few
months, far from it. Few men possess bet
ter health, both physically and mentally,
than Judge Cullom, and, if we mistake not,
the fame he is making for himself rs judge
of the fifth District Court will force him in
to enlarged fields of usefulness in the flu
ture.

The New Movement.

The Crescent City whilst appar.
emily favoring the Unifcation Move
ment, does not think there is much
chance of its bringing about or help
ing tobring about, a new election be.
fore November 1874, as appears
from our extract below.
We did not suppose the new movement
for the creation OF party of the people
would suit the political hacks of either of
the old parties. The Herald is out against
it, and says:
We are opposed to any such unholy coali-
zion as that proposed between philanthro-
pic, patriotic and unpolitical gentlemen
and citizens like Isaac n. Marks, j. d. Hill
and William NJ. RandOlph-with such reg
ular party hacks, political jobbers, agita-
tors and wire-workers rs Allan, Lewis and
Burch, chiefs of the class Of cOlored pOliti-
clans.
AfIain, Lewis and Burch have had the
courage to break loose from the corrup-
tions of the republican party, Just as
Messrs. Marks, Hill and Davidson have
broken loose from the old democratic aIIi-
ance, which has cont rolled their political
actions. We think there is some virtue in
the people, at least enough to enable them
to create party to be controlled by them
selves, of sufficient power to smash the cal
citations of trained politicians like the
conductors of the Herald
And that is what's the matter. The
democratic politicians and the republican
politicians will oppose any movement that
will break up their political organizations,
and thrust them int o retirement. How
ever, since there will be no new election
till November, 1874, let us all determine to
go to work and prom the business in
terest of the State. 1t can be done.

The Auditor ana the Treasurer.

The position of the squabble be-
tween these two high State officials,
may be summed up from the follow
ing closing paragraphs, of an article
on the subject from the New Or
leans Republican, of Tuesday last, in
which article the Republican sides
entirely with the Auditor:
The Treasurer has just been before one of
our districts courts to answer the complaint
of Mr.. Hyams, who charges him with mis-
feasance In Office. The proof showed that
Mr.. Dubuclet had refused to discharge the
ordinary duties of State Treasurer-he
would not received certain sum of money
into the treasury when rendered, nor would
he cash Mr.. Hyams' warrants on the plea
that there was no money in the treasu-
ry. At the same time Mr.. Hyams made de-
mand the money to pay was rendered. But
Mr.. Dubuclet did not feel like transacting
business that day, and SO sent the parties
away.
An application was made to the Superior
Court for a writ of mandamus to compel
the Treasurer to discharge his duties, As
he had no sufficient reason to set up why
he should not do so, the mandamus was
made peremptory.
The next stage in this controversy &C.
Cured yesterday. Mr.. Hyams, armed with
the order of the court, appeared Mt the
Treasurers Office and again demanded his
money, and was a second time refused.
The fourth act will doubtless be the send
ing of Mr.. Dubuclet to Jail for contempt OF
| court. This will be followed by other pro-
ceedings of more positive nature. For
| the Treaturer has undoubtedly incurred
the pains and penalties prescribed by law
for refusing to perform the duties of his
Office in a proper manner. If parties ag.
grieved choose to push the matter, they
can put him and his bondsmen to 3 good
deal of trouble. We hope, however, that
he will listen to wiser counsels and with
draw his opposition to ths orders of those
who have law, right, justice and force on
| their side

j. Henri Burch is getting warmed up in
his discussion of the unifcation movement.
He says in the Baton Rouge Grand Era:
Our love and devotion to the Republican
party is one thing. and our attempts to
have our civil rights as citizens acknowl-
edged by all men is another. These then
are the "two stools" between which the
white and colored men engaged in the new
movement may come to the grounds. Theii
plain duty, then, is to 60 straight forward
in the work already begun. So far, certain
white and colored citizens have met, GER
tain declarations have been made, and it is
to hoped with the best intentions. 1t is
the first step-not to sink the white man,
encourage negro arrogance, or sacrificing
of principle--but toward better under
standing between the two races, and the
laying down of prejudices. Never mind
the 'two stools" gentlemen Of the commit
tee. go on with your noble undertaking.

Treasurer Dubuclet.

That the action of Auditor Clinton in
buying State warrants few days since ut
a reduction of $4,000 from their face, was
wise and cOmmendable, there can be doubt.
But Mr.. Dubuclet, the State treasurer,
seems determined to place obstacle in the
way of the completion of the sale. Yester-
day afternoon Mr.. Hyams, of Moore, Jen-
ney e. Hyams, appeared before the treasu-
rer presented warrants to the amount of
S3315, sum Of money equalling 5S3 per
cent. thereof, and letter, of which the
subjoined is copy:
Hon. A. Dubuclet, State Treasurer
The following list of warrants drawn on
the General Fund, are rendered to the State,
by the owners and holders thereof, with
the offer to surrender them and acknowl
edge payment in full upon payment by
yOu to them of 5Sf cents on the dollar of
the face value thereof, and accompanying
the same is deposit in amount equal to
SGT per cent, of the face of said warrants,
said deposit being to the credit of Thomas
Colville. tax collector of the parish Of Baton
Rouge.
CHARLES CLINTON, Auditor.
Mr.. Hyams rendered the funds as a de-
post, demanding payment for the war;
IdutS 10 sou Ioitu iii oho ic1toic, "hucu ni'
Dubuclet refused to receive. A mandamus
was granted by Judge Hawkins, of the Su-
perior District Court, which was served on
the treasurer this morning, ordering him to
pay the warrants of the petitioners at the
reduced rates set forth.
The impression exists that Mr.. Dubuclet
desires to pay out the cash in the treasury
to his favored friends for warrants at par !;
but it is certain that he will be compelled
to yield to the law and the popular de-
mand for the execution of the auditors f.
nancial scheme.-[ Crescent City.
