EX-GOE HOLDEN SHEL WE'D.

Much of the time of the North
Carolina Constitutional Convention
has been consumed in the discussion
of an ordinance to remove the pOlit-
ical disabilities of Ex-Governor IIol-
den, WHO was impeached and remov-
ed from office. and forever disquali-
fed from holding any office of profit
or trust in the State by the Legisla-
ture of 1871. The refusal Of the
Convention to remove HoIden's dis
abilities has some political sigmifi
canoe.
Within the history Of North Caro-
lima no more corrupt administration
has been known than that of Holden
in 1868 and 1869. The debt of the
State was increased from a few mil
lions to over $50, 100000, and bonds
that formerly sold for so cents
on the dollar fell to 125 cents. Mil
lions of dollars were stolen from the
treasury and the people by HOlden's
carpet-bag and negro Office holders.
In order to carry the Legislature in
1870, Holden. under prctence of put
ting down ku Klux organizations,
called out the negro militia, and i'm
ported from Tennessee q certain
Col. George w. Kirk-a notorious
guerrilla-with a lot of roughs to as
ais+. Kirk was placed in command
Several counties of the State were
declared by Holden to be in a state
of insurrection, and several hundred
quiet aud unoffending citizens were
arrested and incarceraled in prison.
A state of anarchy existed, yet the
people OF North Carolina bore their
wrongs and the insults heaped upon
them quietly. and the next Legisla-
ture deposed Holden. Thousands Of
Republicans rejoiced at this.
For two years past Holden has
held the office of Postmaster at
Raleigh. He is Il violent Radical
third-termer, and is known TO he on
the most confidential terms with
Grant The Republicans there,
says a late dispatch, had planned a
nice little programme. The present
Convention, it is thought, would
change the law making the Guber-
material election take place once in
every two years. Holden is the
choice of the Federal ofliceholders
and negroes for Governor They
were determined to run him for
Governor at the election this year
should the Convention call one
or at any rate run him for Governor
on the Republican ticket in 1876.
Happily for the people of the State,
a few Republican votes last week
settled Holden's case for the present.
Even one of his lawyers, a RepnbIi-
can, who defended him on his i'm
peachment trial in 1871, refused to
vote for the removal of his disabili-
ties.

Ne WS FROM STANLEY.

Intelligence has been received
from Henry NJ. Stanley, the discov-
erer of DR.. Livingstone, who, as the
head and body of an expedition to
Africa, sent out by the n. Y. Herald
and the London Telegraph, has gone
TO Africa to complete Livingstone's
explorations. A dispatch from Lon
don, dated Sept. 26th, says:
1.-Two letters with maps have ar
rived from Mr.. Stanley at the office
of the Daily Telegraph. Both let
ters are dated from the village of
Kogehiji. district of Uchambi, in the
country Usukuma, situated on the
Victoria N'yanza Lake, having ac-
complished the remarkable march of
72O miles in 103 days. 1t will be
remembered that he started from
Zanzibar on November II. 1874.
During the journey he passed through
q totally new country, much of it
covered by primevsl forests and
jungle. In this forest country he
suffered greatly from hunger, and
was engaged for several days in a
conflict with a fierce and treachous
people called the Natura, in which
he lost twenty one Of his followers.
lie grieves to add that Edward
Pocock and Frederick Barker had
succumbed to fever. Stanley speaks
or them in terms of the highest praise
and deep regret. With his diminish
ed force Stanley made a close sur

Improved Farming.

We copy from the Atlanta Herald
some account of the operations of an
agricultural club in Clayton county,
"a, called the Philadelphia Farmers
Club. It has adopted the mode of
diversifying crops and providing first
for the needs of the farm for it's own
consumption = cotton afterwards.
The Herald states the results as fol-
lows:
This club, composed of forty three
persons of Clayton county. has
worked q reform iu the planting in
terests of that county that is simply
wonderful. Out of its forty-three
members there is not man who
does not raise his own provisions !;
who is not, as matter of course, in
a comfortable situation. The aver
age profit made by the farmers of
Georgia is less than 81 per cent, as
shown by their own returns; the av-
erage profit made by the forty three
members of this club is 10 per cent.
Since this club has been organized,
land las gone up over so per cent.
in the section covered by its infIu-
enee, and in many cases lands have
quadrnpled in value. It's members
have more orchards, more poultry,
more sheep, better hogs and cattle,
and make more crop on less land,
than any other forty-three farmers
that can be picked up anywhere, out
side of similar Influences.
The. reason is quite simple. In
the first place, these farmers meet
monthly and discuss in a practical
way, fertilizers, new methods of
planting. new crops. new machines.
the best variety of seed, and the
thousand and one matters of the
farm ; so that each member really
has the benefit of the wisdom and
experience of the other forty-two.
At certain intervals, the club, in a
body, visits and inspects the farms
of each Of its members; each one
learning something at each farm
visited, and being able at the same
time to drop hint that will do the
proprietor some good. Whenever
there is a new labor-saving machine
that promises to work well. invented
the club purchases it and gives it a
trial and, thus, experiments in ma
chimes, guanos. new crops, new
breeds of stock. ETC., can be made at
comparatively little expense. The
club has a good circulation library,
and subscribes to several good agri-
cultural papers. which. at one cost,
are served to fifty readers
With all these advantages, the
Philadelphia Club has fairly regen-
Grated old Clayton county. and we
bid it God speed in its good work.
There ought to be just such a club
in every county in the Stata. IL
there was, it is our honest convic-
ton that we could double our pro-
ducts in FIVE years. and very nearly
double the value of every acre of |
farming land in Georgia.
