account of the coal mines lately dis

The Two PhrOpheeies.

The Mobile Register says: when
Daniel Webster died, after the migrate
full Radical idiots of Boston had re-
fused to allow him to speak in Faneuil
Hall, and had invited, by way of insult
to the mighty patriot, an ignorant ne
gro barber to address the people in
his place, who INDUCED in abuse of
George Washington, the vulgar knaves
and conspirators who have since COW
cred the country with blood and dis
grace were just beginning to take the
traitorous steps for the Inauguration
of the great Free Negro War. Look
ing to their Vaccinations and detestible
purposes, Mr. Webster said:
IF these internal fanatics and abo-
litionists ever get the power in their
hands they will override the Constitu-
ton, set the Supreme Court at def
ance, change and make laws to suit
themselves, lay violent hands on those
who differ with them in opinion and
dare question their infallibillity, and
finally banrupt the country and deluge
it in blood"
John G. Calhoun, of South Carroll
na seeing the consequences to follow
even beyond the immediate results of
the inevitable civil war then being en-
acted, said:
REORGANIZATION affected through
the agency of the General Government
shall have been accomplished, negro
suffrage will be forced upon the coun-
try. Our former slaves will be con-
trolled as a unit against the white peo-
pie of the South, and under intolera-
Bile expressions and disagreement
the white people may be compelled in
indignation and despair to obandon
their country in order to escape op-
preston and disagreement, leaving
it to desolation and ruin"

VIII the Patrons Play Out |!

THE Grange movement will play
out in year or two" This seems to
be the general idea expressed, if not
felt, by those out in the cold. They
liken the Order of Patrons to the Old
know-NOthing movement; various
temperance organizations that have.
in the last half century, run bravely
for season and then run into the
ground, and the numerous social OF
benevolent societies that get Their
growth in early infancy, and then &C
to seed.
They don't seem to comprehend the
strength and vitality of the Grange
movement. There has been nothing
ike it in the history of ages. 1t is a
child of necessity. 1t sprang into ex.
lstence because it couldn't help it
The farmers saw that they were some
how, with the aid of all the abor saw
ing implements of the age, and the use
of steam on land and water, growing
poorer. They realized that they mus
root hog or die, " and in their desper.
alton, they rooted up the Grange. All
other secret Orders are a constant
drain from the pocket; the Grange
draws into it. All others are founded
on a sentiment, a charity, or the social
element; the Grange is financial in.
vestment. 1t is a crumb of bread cas-
upon the waters, which, in few days
returns a full fat loaf.
We asked a hard-handed Patron
from the south of Bridgston, the other
day, what he thought of the Grang,
dying out. With a smile that said, /;
ridiculous idea, he remarked: Il
won't play out with me so long as i
pays as well as it has for the last 81,
mouths. Why! [ have already saveC
one hundred dollars inmy purchases!

Decline of Tobacco Cultures.

The Augusta (Bracken county,
Chronicle says: ut will not be many
years before the culture of tobocco in
this country will be numbered with the
things of the past. The land must
necessarily wear out from the constant
drain which is made upon its vitality by
the tobacco plant. Can Virginia,
which used to raise the finest tobacco
grown in this country, send forth such
crops. either in quality or quantity, as
she did years ago? Acres upon acres
of timber are sacrificed every year to
meet the wants of this voracious plant;
and if the farmers, after sacrificing
their land. are to be continually kept in
a state bordering upon ruin, where is
the use of making the sacrifice? You
will hand down to posterity WORKOUT
farms, with not timber enough on them
for fencing purposes, while had one
half the labor which is yearly devoted
to the cultivation Of TOBACCO been ex-
pended on other crops, the value OF
land would have been much enhanced,
and the yield from a moneyed stand
point would have been fully as great.
But is the Chronicle sure that the
culture of tobacco under proper sys-
tenn will exhaust the soil? Some Of
the finest crops we have ever
seen were grown on ground which had
been cultivated for many years. The
waste of timber for firing purposes is
worse than useless in the opinion Of
many of the most skillful planters and
handlers of tobacco. We have the
authority of practical men for saying
that the whole system Of curing tobac.
co by the old way is erroneous, anG
crops cured by the improved and cheap,
er process have brought the highes
prices in this market. With proper
management the tobacco crop of this
State will be more profitable twent!
years hence than it is to-day Smaller
farms and better culture and handling
are needed.

THEPLAfFORM.

"The representatives of the Demo-
cratic and Conservative party of Ten
nessee, in convention assembled, most
cordially invite all good and true
men, who desire to increase the pros
perity of the people of the State, and
preserve her honor untarnished, to
unite with US in following out the fol-
lowing principles, to-wit:
Il. That all honest labor should be
protected, and receive its just reward.
'2. That the burden of government
should be borne by the whole property
of the country; that all assessments
of taxes should be equal, uniform and
just, and no improper discrimination
should be made against any species OF
property.
"3. That we favor strict construc-
ton of the Constitution of the United
States, and insist that no power should
be exercised by the General Govern
ment that is not clearly delegated or
clearly implied in the necessary exer-
else of the powers so delegated.
Il. That we oppose all monopolles,
rings and combinations formed for the
oppression Of the people; that we are
for the abolition of all useless and I'M
necessary offices: for the proper re-.
duction of all excessive salaries; for
the most rigid economy in the admin
istration of the State Government !;
for all necessary reforms in the law so
as to make its execution speedy, just
and certain; that we hold the coilec-
tors of revenue to a strict accounta-
bility in the collection and application
/ of said revenue; that we depiore the
existence of all Indebtedness, Federal,
State, county and municipal, and de-
mand that no more taxes shall be LAID
upon the people than shall be found to
be essentially necessary for the sup
port of the State Government admin
istered on principles of the most rigid
economy, and for the payment OF its
Just debts and obligations and the pre-
seryation of its credit and honor unfair
nished. and therefore to an increase OF
taxation.
% That we favor the abolition of the
present odious national banking sys-
tenn and the payment of the bonds OF
the government by issuance of its non
bearing interest notes according to the
contract expressed and implied at the
time of the creation of such obllga-
cations, and repeal of the present
oppressive Federal tariff, and the en-
actment of law solely with view to
the collection of the necessary revenue.
&c. That we denounce all legislation
that seeks to interfere with the indi-
vidual right of the citizen to select
his own associates, and particularly
what is known as the supplementary
Civil Rights bill pending before the
Federal Congress, as pllpable VIOLA
ton of the Constitution, intended to
people of the Southern States, and
productive of untold social and polit-
zeal evils to both races, and which we
should resist by all legal and constitu-
tional means in our power"

Two Hundred Millions.

Baron Anselm de Rothschild, who
died recently at his country seat, near
Wilma, possessed wealth estimated at
more than S200,000,00O. By his ex-
press desire his funeral was celebrated
without any pomp. The hearse was
drawn by two horses, and followed only
by few servants. And thus disap-
pears the richest man of modern times,
with no more pomp and circumstance
than hundreds and thousands of his
INDECENT fellows.

DIR. Sears on Education at the South.

1t is DIR. Sears, it is reported, who
says in The Atlantic TO form cor
rect general estimate of the state of
education at the South, it will be
necessary TO keep steadily in view the
fact that while popular sentiment is,
on the whole, favorable to public
schools, the preponderance is SO slight
that it would require but a little
change to turn the scale. Only about
one third of the people are friendly to
free schools. About one-third are, at
heart, as decidedly opposed to them.
The remaining third are Indifferent or
passive, and will be influenced and
governed by the dominant party The
first class are now in the ascendency.
They owe their success not so much to
their numbers as to their enterprising
character. They are the more hope
ful, energetic and progressive portion
of the community"

THE New York Journal of Com
merce, in concluding concise and
careful review of the grain prospect in
this country and Europe, says that it
may be concluded that the accidents
of the crop in Great Britain and
France, in view of prosperous and
abundant harvests elsewhere, are not
of consequence enough to defeat the
public expectation of cheap bread
during the season of 1878. Last
year not only England, but France,
Germany, Italy, Switzerland, Belgium,
Holland, and even some greater wheat
exporting countries, had to import.
This year their wants will all be sup
piled at home, and at the bestor worst,
England will not need to buy from us
anything like the quantity she has
taken the expiring season.
