GENERAL LOGAN ON SOUTHERN
AFFAIRS.

WASHINGTON, January 5.-In the
course of the debate in the Senate,
TO day, on the Louisiana question,
General Logan made a brief, but elo-
quent and most able speech, re-
mlnding one Of his stirring words
thirty years ego. Referring to the
state Of things in the South in reply
to Saulsbury's threats Of revolution,
he said in his closing remarks:
II am as much in favor Of having
that information asked for in Thur
mans resolutions as any Senator in
this chamber, without giving any
opinion as to the right or wrong, for
| have none to give until l hear the
facts. should like to hear them
for the purpose Of forming judg-
ment and deciding thereon. This is
a question in reference to the exer-
else of certain power, whether dele
gated to officers or authorities Of the
government or not, or If delegated,
whether exercised IN accordance with
that authority. Let me now say that
| do not purpose myself any means
OF arriving at power over the people,
or any portion OF the people, EXCEPT
through ]egalized and constituted
modes. lam no revoIulionist in any
SENSE, but | warn my friends on the
other side of the chamber against one
thing: Your friends have got to
stop their bloodshed and murder. II
they do not, | tell you they will be
made to do it. Ii your friends do
not stop their murders and their as
sassina,ious aud the bloodshed they
are causing in the Southern States,
the army. or any other lawful power
should be used to make them do it,
and the men that stand by and sus>
tain them In their horrible and dam
nable crimes are no better than the
perpetrators"
When General Logan closed he
was greeted with round of applause
from the crowded galleries, and was
warmly congratulated by many of
his fellow Senators.
He was followed by Morton, Ed
monde and Howe, who fully indors-
ed MS position, and charged upon
the Democratic party the RESPONSE
bility for the state of things which
new exists in fhe South. MIR. Nor
tons remark that there were more or
gained armed men now IN the South
than there were at the opening OF the
rebellion created a profound sensa-
ton, both on the floor and the gale.

The MORE Stock THE MORE
GRASS AND GRAIN. This is we'll
established to be fact in agricul-
ture. But this kind of farm manage
ment involves more capital and more
labor and yet where intelligently
and skillfully prosecuted it is invari
ably successful. Sheep are under
valued by the mass of landholders as
a means Of keeping up the fertility of
the soil and putting money into the
pockets of farmers. The moment one
begins to talk of sheep husbandry,
tn, listener or reader begins to look
for wool quotations-as if wool was
all that yields profit from sheep. One
might as we'll look for wheat quota
tons alone when there is talk about
the profit of farming.
Sheep on farm yield both wool
and mutton. They multiply with
great rapidity. They are the best of
farm scavengers, cleaning a field"
as DO other class Of animals will.
They give back to the farm mora in
proportion TO what they take from it
than any other animal, and distribute
it better with view to the future
fertility Of the soil. Prove this ?
There is no need Of proof to thoso
who have kept sheep and know their
habits and the profits they yield. To
prove it to those who have not the
experience it is necessary they should
try the experiment or accept the tes-
timony Of an experienced shepherd.
But the live stock of q farm should
NOT, necessarily, be sheep exclusively.
Cattle. horses, swine, have their re-
spective places In the farm economy.
How many OF each to keep is ques-
ton that locality, charactar of mar
kets, adaptation of soil, predisposi-
ton, taste and skill Of the husband
man must decide. Blu. one thing
ought not to be forgotten, that the
more stock man keeps on his farm,
the more grass and grain it ought to,
and, if properly managed, it will
grow. The rates of increase will
correspond with the business tact,
technical and practical knowledge,
and skill Of the husbandman. IN. Y.

Successful Cultivation THE three great
requi ties for success IN raising all crops,
are clean, rich, mellow soil. 1. To
keep the soil clean or clear Of weeds; tie
time when they are most easily killed is
at the time the young sprouts from the
seeds have grown about half an inch.
when the harrow and rake will break
and destroy them easily and rapidly
Q. To keep the soil rich, you must not
only apply manure, but have it worked
all through the soil The more finely it
is broken and worked in, the greater
will be its effect. Fifty loads thus treat
ed will be worth more than hundred
left in Jumps 8. In doing this, you
accomplish the third requisite, namely, a
melCw soil.

ALBA NY, N. Y. January 5.--The
message of Governor Tilden shows the
receipts of the year were $26, 465, $40
payments. $40 6,308; leaving balance
of nearly 100000 Funded debt, $780,
100000; reduction Of debt last year, So,
100000. He recommends small
appropriation Tor the centennial and q
revision of the law Furnishing NAL
versation by public officers He discusses
at great legth the transportation problem
and says in regard to the Erie Canal;
"It should OF be fundamentally chang
ed in its character and condition without
great consideration. 1t should be perfect
ed and SO made available to- every
practicable extent for facilitating and
chespening the exchange of commodities
between the East and West. The two
questions concerning it are:
/. It's capacity to do an aggregate
business during given time.
2. Economy Fer ton per mile of the
transportation it affords.
The State must protect the Erie Canal
while not seeking to make money by it.
he urges the perfecting of the canal by
en)Argiag its capacity SO that it shall
practically cheaper and facilitate
exchanges of commodities between the
East and West. He advocates deepen
ing the canal to seven feet, believing
that to be the means of facilitating
navigation by boats, whether steam or
not.
The Governor says New York has q
large interest in the financial policy of
the United States, and an additional
issue Ut currency, legal tender, or bank
notes, is An illustration, and an increase
of the currency will no. cure the dis
tress.
In reference to the Constitutional
amendments, the Governor says the
questions settled by the war are never to
be reopened- The adoption of the
Fourteenth, Fifteenth ard Sixteenth
Amendments TO the Federal Constitution
closed one great era in our politics. Ii
marked the end forever OF the system OF
human slavery and of the struggles that
grow out of that system. These amend
ments have been conclusively adopted
and they have been accepted in good
faith by all political organizations and
the people Of all sections. They close
the chapter; they are and must be final.
All parties hereafter must accept and
stand upon them and henceforth cur
politics are to turn upon questions of the
present and future, not upon those of the
settled and final past.

GEN HAwLEY ON THE ISSUES OF THE DAY AND TIL
THIRD-TERM 'IDEA."
HARTFORD, CoNN., March IL.
Gen. Hawley this evening opened the cam
paign in this city by an address at Allyn Hall.
which was crowded He spoke for two hours
and quarter, reviewing what the Republican
Party has accomplished, and speaking OF the i'm
portant questions which their opponents will not
now take issue with them. He reviewed the
IMPORTANT MEASURES IN CONGRESS
during his term, and explained his action on the
Force bill, which he voted against because he
deemed the existing laws sufficient and because
it conferred extraordinary powers upon the
President, which were unnecessary i'll time of
peace. In answer to d question by Democratic
journal as to his views about the
"THIRD TERM" IDEA,
he thought it was hardly matter for serious
consideration. The talk about it had been start
ed by some journals mainly to annoy the Presi-
dent and trouble the Republican Party. 1t had
become part of the unwritten law of the coun-
try that no person should have more than two
terms in the Presidential office, and on general
principles he was opposed to third Presidential
term. In answer to a question as 20 whom
HE SHOULD VOTE FOR
in case the election came into the House of Re-
presentatives he said he would be unworthy to
be a representative il he tied himself by pledges
i'll advance. He should act on all important
questions under his oath, as he deemed best, for
the interest of the nation.

THE PRODUCT OF THE CANNERIEs.-A failure
of the peach crop, last season, compelled the
canneries down the Peninsula to operate princi-
pally on tomatoes, the result boing that very
large quantity was put upon the market. The
result has been that prices have taken consid-
cradle tumble, but notwithstanding this fact the
canneries have generally, we understand, done
a very fair business, the previous heavy margin
enabling them to sell at great reduction with
out an actual loss. The most of the canneres,
except those holding stock for a rise, have dis
posed of their entire stocks, and the new ones,
while creating a market for their product,
have done very we'll. The present prospect is
is that heavy stock will be carried over to next
season, the dealers having large supplies on
hand, but if the peach crop should prove a good
one, less tomatoes will be canned this season,
and greater demand will be felt for them.
