blame the cotton planters for not raising
their corn, at least. This is not altogether
their fault. Many negroes will not work
Tor money wages, must have part Of the
crop, and Stipulated the crop shall be
cotton. Then the planters is forced to
give cotton alone. Then if he has not the
money to pay cash for his bread and meat,
he procures it from his merchant at high
price, often from fifty to seventy Eve cents
above the cash price, to be paid for from
the sales df cotton, and at the close If the
year, after dividing with his lab,refs, and
paying his merchant, there is nothing left F;
this year, most of them ore in debt.
Those who have money to pay cash for all
they purchase, and have paid money
wages to their laborers, have made little,
aud will cohtlhaS 10 make SO long as they
pursue that policy. From what I can
learn' there is a greater disposition to gros
more grain next year, than there has been
since tho hegroes were free, much larger
crop Of Hhsat has been seeded, and when
the planters grow his own bread and
meat; tkcn his days of prosperity have
commenced, and the sooner they learn
this the better for them, but not for your
SOstions, as you are dStendant on the
cotton glowing region for a market fol
your surplus corn, wheat and hogs;
Hereafter, I will say something about
the negro as laborer, as a slave and Us a

TRANSFERS.

When transfers are made from one
School District to another the money
goes into tho hands of the clerk Of the
district and becomes p,rt Of the school
fund for the district to which the pupils
have been transferred and must be paid
out as other moneys. The teacher, to
whose school the transfers have been
made, is not entitled to the money
arising from these transfers, unless by

This young politician 1--WE think

ed and astounded that the Herald and
Tribune, which supported Judge Batler
for Congress in his last race, should now
prefer Judge 0illenwaters. "Why this

The Storm.

Yesterday morning, about half past
sJclock, the manager of the heaven.
ly water. works issued an order to
his understrappers to turn the fau-
Gets of the rain clouds, and give
Mother Earth a first-class shower
bath.
Instantly following the command
a preliminary overture of thunder
and lightning took place, and i'm a
few minutes the rain came down in
torrents, accompanied for a short
time by hailstones, which broke
considerable glass. The rain fell
Increasingly and heavily for about
an hour and a half, at the end of
which time the streets were like
rivers, and the cellars were half
filed with water.
The heaviest damage done was
that received by the frame building
at the southwest corner of Farnham
and Fifteenth streets, owned by JO-
seph Barker, and being fitted up
for q restaurant. 1t had recently
been raised, and had a brick base
ment put under it. The water flowed
into the cellar froM the east and
west sides, and in a few minutes
carried with it a large portion of the
the newly laid wall, causing the
remainder Of the basement to bulge,
and allow the building to settle
slightly. The men at work inside
at the time, hearing the falling
brick and the rushing water, expec-
ted the building would fall, and ran
outside considerably frightened.
The W II was turnedinto the cellar
by the gutter being carelessly filled
up with rubbish.
Between nine and ten O'Clock p.
M, the storm began again and con-
tinued all night. There must have
been considerable damage done by
the food.
