The New Orleans Republican repeats
the story that Jefferson Davis was cap
tured disguised in female apparel.
What claim can the Republican have
for deceicy and veracity, when the
papers are still printing II circumstan-

The Mayor Of Monroe.

Governor Kellgg recently appointed
q mayor for the city of Monroe to till a
vacancy occasioned by the death of the
former incumbent. The appointee is
not personally known by the Cover
nor, and the appointment was made,
as Others have been, on the strong re-
commendation of residents of that
town. In this case public meeting
was held in that city to expressly con-
slider the subject OF recommending
some one for the office. The present
appointee was freely urgeG, and a
resolution, strongly worded, was for
warded to Governor Kellogg, and this
had the Endorsement of Judges Luce
ling and Ray and Senator o. II.
Brewster. II the appointee was inelfgi-
BILE, as some of the Democratic papers
allege, it is not probable that he could
have obtained SO good an indorse-
ment.-N. O. KepuLlicuu.
We know of no Democratic paper
alleging anything about Kellogg's APP
pointee for Mayor Of Monroe; it
must have been some sore-shinnet Re-
publican who discovered the young
fellows ineligibility; but we do know
the Radical family about Monroe was
carpet-bag negro pulled down the
stakes. Judges Ludeling and Ray are
to be complimented for their indorse-
mont of the appointce. We suppose
they had no doubt about either his
fitness, claims or anteccdents, and
considered him not only a fair repre-
of their party, but the best
man they could find for the Office.

Red Clover,

Planters on the river and ON alluvial
lands have our assurance, after two
years experimenting, that Red Glover
will abundantly repay all the labor and
expense necessary in Its cultivation.
The ground should be we'll prepared by
blowing, and, il not strong, should be
enriched. Glover will not succeed on
poor land. The seed should be sowed
by the first Of October. In sowing.mix
the seed with ashes or sand, about two
gallons of seed per acre, and IL a roller
can be had, roll the seed in; II not, use
brush. 1t is best to have the land pre-
pared in "throughs," so that the winter
rains will be quickly carried away.
Although the seed may be sowed In the
early spring, fall sowing Is preferable.
since the clover will then get the start
of the weeds.
There arc no clover seed to be had in
Monroe. Seed stores In New Orleans
will fill your orders. One or two acres
carefully prepared and sowed will as
tonish any farmer with its yield.
We examined about 800 acres of cot
ton carefully last Monday. We found
plenty of worms to consume the crop
by the 1st. They were In all stages OF
growth, from the smallest to the largest.
The cotton was Well boiled at the bot
tom and showed a pretty fair middle
crop. The yield will be about the same
as last year, but the average on the
river will be less.
Very few planters have commenced
picking, and but little will be done for
ten days yet. Picking, last year, be-
gan about this time.
The Synagogue is rapidly approach
ing completion. We assume the
right to invite everybody around to
see the work done ON the inside OF the
building. The plastering is the most
difficult job in that line ever done in
Monroe, and seems to be all that could
be required.
The Bastrop Republican has conclud-
ed to recommend kellogg for 4 ninth
term, because the Bossier Banner prints
three pages Of laws and the Republican
can get none. The government Of Ger
rors and frauds" has chance to recon-
cilc the Republican.

ing weather, suitable for maturing the

Up to the present writing, We hear
no complaints of catterpillars In the
parish, but that they will make their
appearance is almost Il certainty. The
daily showers are causing the bolls to
fall from the plants ON many farms, and
that is bad enough without the cater
pillar adding its dcpredations to the
general loss.

will reap substantial benefits, and the
carrier suffer no hardship. Such re-
form we believe to bewholly within such
intelligent and earnest effort as the
grannges are capable of making. There
is no need of bring such question as
this into the arena of politics, where it
will be used for corrupt purposes.
While the railroads are being reformed,
the various proposed water outlets to
the sea should be considered. Ii the
States concerned see fit to undertake
them, there is no reason why they
should not do SO, and Congress, under
Republican control, would doubtless aid
in the work to the full extent permitted
by the Constitution. Very much has
been said concerning the position OF the
Republican party upon these points.
All that need be said now is that the
Republican party has shown by its his
tory that it can be trusted to do the
greatest public good, SO far as it can be
done within the powers of the Gov
ernment. 1t will not transgress
the Constitution, nor will it squan-
der the money of the people upon
chimeras. Mention has also been made
of the reference to this question in the
last annual message of President Grant.
But the President says " 1 am not pre-
pared to recommend Go vernment aid to
these or other enterprises until 1T Is
clearly shown that they are not only OF
national interest, but that when COM
pleted they will be of value commen-
surate with their cost" Nothing more
than this can be said concerning these
canal schemes until all the facts have
been obtained and carefully considered.
Meantime, the farmers should remem-
ber that their speedy relief depends
very much upon their own wisdom and
forbearance. When the bond of union
among them is broken, their power is
gone, and it assuredly will be broken
by independent political action. or by
political alliances. To trust to Democ-
racy is to court destruction. The
farmers being, with few exceptions, Just
and reasonable, know they can rely upon
the Republican party to afford them all
possible relief. They know also that IN
whatever gulise it may come, the great
majority OF the people will not tolerate
class legislation. Being conversant with
the political history Of their country,
they know that political action by secret
societies must be ephemeral. We know
that it is proposed to do the political
work by the farmers associations, and
not by oranges, but the latter are fixed
in the public mind as the agricultural
agency, and cannot escape the political
responsibility, if any is to attach any
where. Firmlyimpressed rs We are with
the great value of the order of the Pa
irons of Husbandry to the country, and
convinced that it is capable of doing
much more for the amelioration of the
condition of the farmers than 1t has yet
accomplished, We regret TO see that 1t Is
being used by selfish and designing
politicians in way that must soon i'm
pair its usefulness. We hope the farm
ers will take warning from recent events,
and return their order to its original
purpose before 1t is destroyed.

OUR GRAIN PRODUCT.

The dimensions of the grain trade of
the country are hardly appreciable by
those unconversant with its details.
From the figures given by the census
returns we learn that the weat crop of
the country for 1869 reached grand
total of 2S7, 745, ,626 bushels, about 50,-
900, 600 of which were exported, leaving
still nearly 240, 900, 900 bushels for our
own consumption.
Owing to some States being largely
grain-producing, and the labor of others
expending itself almost exclusively in
other fields, this vast amount requires
great deal of transportation before it
reaches the consumers larder. Thus
the New England States require 3d.
00O, 900 bushels more than is raised on
their rocky soil; New York, 33, 900, 600;
Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and Mary
land, between them, a little over 5,000,-
600. Then come the great Western
States, VIII Sc people consume only n
third of the vast amount raised on their
rich soil, the bulk of which goes to feed
the East and is exported. California
produces 10, 600, 600 more bushels than is
consumed within her borders.
The entire amount of wheat grown III
the eleven Southern States only reaches
about 81 ZOO, 900 bushels, which of course
is augmented largely by that growth in
other sections of the Union in order to
feed the population of nearly Il, 900, 600,
though corn is more largely used in this
section as a substitute than elsewhere,
especially among the negroes and poor
whites
The corn crop Of the country is nearly
four times rs large as the wheat crop,
being in exact numbers 760, 900, 600
bushels, the expectation of which is
very extensive, Notwithstanding the fact
that in the West it is largely used in the
feeding Of swine, and exported in the
! shane of pork.
