that Representative Roderick Random
Butler, of Tennessee, would rise in his
seat in the House, on Monday, and de-
mand special committee to investi-
gate the charges Of corruption made
against him in connection with the
payment of what is known as the

We heartily concur in the sugges-
ton of the ShelbyvilIe Commercial that
the charges of fraud in connection with
the administration of the State gov
eminent, which were so freely made
throughout the recent canvass, should
be rigidly Investigated by the Legisla-
ture. If these charges-emanating
originally, we believe, from Radical
sources, and never yet stated in a spe-
cifc shape-can be proven, none shall
be more emphatic than we
in demanding the punishment of
the unfaithful stewards; but if
honest and efficient public servants
have been made to suffer in reputation
by the circulation of such reports, let
their vindicatiOn by the Legislature be
prompt, unequivocal and complete.
The people viii be satisfied with no half
way action; they were never in less
humor for withdrawing.
While touching upon this matter we
may mention that our Shelbyville con-
temporary is in error with regard to
the libel suit, to which it refers as hav-
ing been instituted by the Comptroller
"with great flourish of virtuous indig-
nation" and then, Every mysteriously
hushed up" The case is still pending
in the Davidson County Circuit Court.

Laughter on the part # the Democrats.
There is no occasion for your laughter, as
the Democratic party is in very much the
same condition. The old Wing party
leaders are the capitalists of that party,
who would not come into the Republican
party because they would not 60 for bring

where else to go they went over, and be-
came the leaders in the Democratic party;
and so that is party now with old Wing

affiliation between the head and tail, either.

"Measureless Disaster
Mr.. Garfield said: believe this bill is
fraught with measureless evils to every

GRAPE CULTURE.-It is surprising that
so many families in the country are will
ing to live year after year without cult
waiting a single grapevine about their
dwellings. They arc compelled to pur-
chase this delicious fruit for the table or
not taste it during the season. There is
a common impression that to cultivate
grapes perfectly vast amount OF knowi-
edge and tact is required. 10 many the
simple trimming of vine is mystery.
This is an erroneous view, and ought not
to prevail Any person of common intel
ligence can learn in an hour how to trim
and nourish vines; and if instruction can
not be obtained from some experienced
cultivation, there are books filled with cuts
and illustrations which make everything
plain. Three vines of as many different
varieties, planted in some sunny nook, or
by the side of some building SO as to OBJ
tain shelter, will, if properly cared for
furnish many bushel of delicious grapes
every year. Select Concord, and two
or three other varieties. Make the ground
mellow and rich by the use OF spade,
and by employing old manure. 1nely-
ground bones and ashes, and set out the
plants. In three years the rich clusters
will appear, and in four years the product
will be abundant 1t is well to have vines
planted 80 that the waste liquids from the
dwellings can be used in fertilization. If
there is any food the vine especially loves,
it is the soapy liquids which accumulate
on washing days in families. Vines
drenched every week with these liquids
will flourish astonishingly, and extend
themselves so as to cover large buildings.
