The vexed question among the
tobacco growers of the Connecticut
Valley, as to whether they should con-
tinue their present system Of selling
their crops through middlemen or di-
rectly to the manufacturer, has been
settled, so far as the famous district of
Podunk is concerned. This district,
containing about five square miles, is
reputed to produce the best seed Leaf
wrappers in the world, and its crop
commands high price in the Ameri-
can market. The growers have now
appointed an agent, who is to sell
their product direct to the manufac,
turers, and if this initiatory movement
succeeds, all the growers of the State
will probably adopt it.

A Specimen of Niger" LegisIating.

Speaker Shadd, Of the Mississippi
House of Representatives, has got his
hands full. Eight or ten negro men,
bers on the floor whilst another is
haranguing is fair picture Of the
House. Shadd is now occupied with
his third gavel, having worked up two
already in the vain effort to beat the
"hands" off their feet. "Mr. Speaker !!
Mr. Speaker MISTER Speaker ! amt
I titled to de flo, sab ? got up,
sab, next after Mr.. Smith, who was
next after Mr.. Johnson, who was next
to Mr.. Barclay, sab, and have stood
here until they all got through, turn
about, and now it's my time" The
House is regular Standing Commit
tee of the Whole, each member fear
ing to sit lest he lose his turn in
course. The impartial and imperious
Shadd, however, holds them to the
rule as well as may be. The only
hope for Mississippi lies in white i'm
migration, where now only white
carpet-baggers are pouring in. A
partial relief may be found in the
policy Of minority representation, and
the present Legislature ought to adopt
it at once if it can.
