A New Fertilizer.

Indian Meal is said to be equal to
Peruvian Guano as fertilizer. Like
the latter, it will kill the germ of the
seeds if applied in too large quantities.
1t may be used in the hill, furrow or
Broadcast, in about the same quantities
as guano. At 60 cents per bushel for
corn ton of it costs $24.OO, or about
ene-third as much as guano. 1t acts
quickly upon the growing crops and
may be applied to wheat in the Spring
at the time of sowing clover, and raked
in with the grass seeds.
From all that we have heard of this
article as a fertilizer it is certainly
worthy a trial, and we hope that some
of our readers will experiment with it
the coming season and report the re-
suit. Wheat bran also may be quite
as valuable for this purpose and may
be tried in the same manner. A table
spoonful Of corn meal may be applied
to hill of corn, or 800 lbs. to the acre
on wheat or other broadcast crops
1t is said to answer quite as well on
potatoes and other root crops.

steel plates is rapidly yielding to more eo-

The statement of Col. MusgrOve, the
State Grange Immigration Agent to the
North and West, giving an account of his
recent tour through that region-will be
read with interest and satisfaction. We are
sure that he has employed his time well
and that he has aided efficiently in laying
the foundation of movement which will
contribute vastly to the development and
improvement of our State. The failure
of crops, and the grasshopper plague, IN
the North and West have caused great
discomfort in that section, and our people
ought not to be slow in turning the event
to their own account.
Col Musgrove assures us that the Rail
roads will give their powerful assistance
for the encouragement and promotion of
immigration. At recent meeting in
Dallas, Texas we have noticed statement
of Gen. Robertson, the Immigration
Agent, that colonies are forming in Ohio
for settlement in Texas. Why may we
of Mississippi not secure share of those
moving people?
We have superior advantage in sol land
climate, and can offer, equal inducements
in the way OF hospitable treatment and
good bargains.

The Cimcimmati.H a aiUOre COVen-
anf.-The Nation has Ratified ID,

The Liberal canvass of 1872, has
brought forth its fruits. The seeds which
were then sown, were cast on good ground.
The builders builded wiser than they
knew. They started the reactionary
movement They laid the foundations
for the series of victories which have
been won in 1874. What the nation
needed was an unmistakable departure
from the war issues. This was taken at Gin
cnnati by the Liberals. AT Baltimore
the Democrats emphasized it by the
adoption of the immortal creed which
had been promulgated two months be-
fore at the former place.
The mind of the nation when put to
rest on those questions, was prepared for
the consideration of other matters which
had been too long neglected. The con-
sequence is the verdict in favor of Re-
form which was declared in the October
and November elections.
The Liberal Republicans with coca
sional exceptions have all remained true
to the Observation-Disclosures covenant ;
and the Democrats who sulked in their
tents in 1872, have conquered their pre-
iudices, and taken their places in the
ranks.
To show how utterly nblivious the win
ming party has been to antiquated issues,
it is only necessary TO bear in mind that
Tilden, the Democratic candidate for
Governor of New York, was free soil
Democrat or 'Barnburner' as his class were
styled in ante-bellum days, and Dorsh-
iemer, his colleague for 1t. Governor,
was the Republican speaker of the New
York House of Representatives a few
years ago and the leading champion of
Greeley in that State in 1872. Graft
Brown was an active supporter of the
Democratic ticket in Missouri; and Gen.
Banks, who has been returned to Con-
gress from Massachusetts,, is a Republi-
can who was put under the ban on ac-
count of his Liberalism. Now, he is
more than conqueror.
The nation needed repose from the
agitation of sectional troubles and was
determined to have it. The Cincinnati
Baltimore covenant has been signed and
sealed. Henceforth it is consecra.ed
and the sacrilegious hand that might dare
be raised against it, would be palsied.
The weekly clarion. [volume] (Jackson, Miss.) 1863-1882, 1874-11-12


The election of this gentleman j!
scarcely less gratifying to the country Al
large than the defeat of Butler. Both
were original Democrats. Banks Joined
the free-soil movement at an early day.
Butler, however, remained with the
Democrats and even went so far as to vote
for Jefferson Davis in the Charleston
Convention, and to aid and abet the
seceders by Withdrawing with them. We
have always thought that his Interior
object was to bring about the secession OF
the Southern States and create an oppor-
tunity for him to join the popular side in
the North. He played and won. But
his day Is over.
Banks, mere consistent, opposed the
secession movement, and fought through
the war. But after it was over, he avail
ed himself of the first opportunity to
effect reconciliation between the two
sections. He was a Liberal in 1872,
and was beaten for Congress. Now he
has arisen again, and is carried back into
Congress on the reaction any wave.
During the canvass, referring to Southern
affairs. he said: You cannot have one
3" half of this country in anarchy and the
" other in order; YOU cannot have one-half
. Of the people in beggary and the other
4. half in affiuence, and expect to see
+" industry prosper.

NatcheZ EIectiOn--SucceSs of the
Compromise Ticket.

The Compromise ticket representing
the Conservative material of both parties
and races was successful in the recent mu,
nicipal elections at Natchez by a. decided
majority, Notwithstanding, the prepon.
derance of colored voters. The
Natchez Democrat thus announces the
result:
The People carry the 1st Ward by a
majority of 81; the End Ward by ma
iority of 121 the Sd Ward by majority
of 1l5; and the 4th Ward bv majority
Of 100; making the aggregate majority
for the People in the city just 38S.
The result Of the electing is a splendid
victory for the People. 1t is not victory
of partisans over partsans-not victory
of whites over blacks-but simply a vic
tory of the People-white and colored =
who desire above all party or race consid-
erations an honest economical and benef-
cent municipal government.
The most sensible OF the colored peo-
pie have nobly done their duty in this
contest. They have appreciated the ext
gency, and with independence of spirit
and remarkable resoluteness to do right,
regardless of party, they have contributed
their full share TO this splendid result
which h, without their aid, we could not
have achieved.
