CORN

As the season has been quite
unfavorable for fodder pulling, we
we would suggest to planters the
propriety OF adopting the Western
style of cutting their corn stalks
near the ground with cane knives,
aud thus save the stalks, shucks
and all suitable leaves for fodder
for their stock. This system Of
preparing fodder is preferable to
The plan usually employed here,
Because there is little risk Of in.
jury from bad weather, for it is
put up in shocks of abont. three
Or four feet in diameter, securely
bound with one stalk, left to stand
upright in the field until 1t hardr
ems aud the planter has time TO
haul to his stable or barn. Those
who have tried this plan find that
the corn keeps equally as well as
when pulled from the stalk, the
weeviI trouble it little, aud as the
COru il shucked ont during the
winter, the stalks and shucks can
be thrown 10 the cattle, who
eat it with avidity and thrive
well.
Those who have any doubts
aaFrua rBtdF5ation
about The matter, should learn
particulars from Mr.. Z. B. Fitz-
of ST. Martin, who. as a
NngluiaD, is accustomed to that
mode of saving fodder, and has
successfully praCticed it in this
country for several years.

OF ANDREW JOHN
 SON.

The announcement of the death of Andrew Johnson will be sad news to our readers. The great and good man passed from the walks of men on the 31st ult., and by his demise the nation is de- prived of a great intellect, and the South of q staunch friend and an able advocate. From a poor apprentice boy, without the aid oi wealth or the influence of power erful friends he rose to the most exalted position attainable under our form of government. By his own indomitable energy and un tiring perseverance he overcame all obstacles and surmounted ev- cry difficulty which continually beset his pathway.
 Mir. Johnson's lite has been one of toll and labor but of the most signal success.
 The country may well mournc the loss of true man in the de- mise of Andrew Johnson.

THE MOUNTAIN MEADOW
 MASSACRE.

The unearthing of the particu- lars of the Mountain Meadow Massacre which recent investiga- tions have brought to light, de- velopes crime which for pure hellishness is without a parallel in all the annals of crime.
 The investigation now being had should never stop until tie whole matter is sifted to the bot tom and the last scintilla of evi- tlence attainable has been secur- ed for the conviction of every dev- il connected with the horrible massacre.
 The brutal butchery although committed as far back as 1857 should not be permitted to go un- revenged, because a period of several years has passed away since the foul deed was done. The details of this massacre as elicited from the evidence of J. D. Lee, one of the chief actors in the hcllish plot are sufficient to shock the sensibilities of the most hardy backwoodsman.

The decision in tile case of Penn vs. Tollison l do not regard as being entitled to that weight which decision of the supreme court of the United States is. As for the act of the legislature of 1874, I believe it will not be doubted but it was passed in the interest of the land grabbers and spectators, and for the purpose of expressing the people.
 have no hesitancy in saying that l believe your patent, signed by Gov. Rector, is as good and as binding as one would be signed by Gov. Garland, and 1 have no doubt the courts will so hold when the question is raised before them. In the rulings of this office here- after l shall hold every entry of lands of every character, paid in any kind of funds receivable for lands of the state at that time, as valid, and where parties present certificates of purchase and ask patents for the same, I shall give a certificate recommending his excellency to issue the same. The sixteenth section, seminary, saline, internal improvement and swamp and Overfowed lands be- long to the state. They belonged to her during the war, and she had a perfect right to dispose of any or all of them in any manner she saw proper, so that it was not in furtherance of the rebellion and it was her province to take such currency as she pleased.
 Where she received her pay and gave her certificate of pur- chase, what right has she to arbi- trarily set aside the sale and de mand payment again? I can see no equity in such a demand, and shall recognise all sales made du- ring the war, and all patents and certificates issued during that pe- riod, as though the transaction occurred prior to or since that time.
 l return your patent, for the reasons given above. It is cer- tainly as good as any that could be given by the present authori. ties. Respectfully, etc.,
 J. N. SMITHEE,
 Commissioner of State Lands.

NO SUCH FEELING IN AR
 KANSAS.

It is probably not an overstate- ment to say that the country was never before in its history so earn estly desirous of good government and that it never before had so little hope of it. We are drifting toward a presidential election with q feeling in every thought full American mind that neither of the two political parties which are preparing to dispute for the SUI premacy is worthy of confidence or can be hopefully trusted to serve the nation as it would like to be and as it ought to be serv- ed.-New York Herald.
 We don't think there is any such feeling in Arkansas. We beleive that there has never been time when the people of Ark ansas had such implicit confidence in the ability and justice of the Democratic party to rule and gov ern as they have today. We have tried the republican party to our sorrow. We want no new party set up before us. We want no repetition of the Cincinnati con cern. Our experience since De- mocracy regained the sway here has been of that happy type which has brought back all our admiration of pure Democracy, and confirmed us in the belief that in restoring the Government to a Democratic rule is our only safety. And we believe that in the tall of 1876 it will be seen that the masses of the honest toil- ing people all over the land are of the same opinion. So mote it be.

 had a splendid shower at thio place, which extended far soutl

 left many farmers suffering who did not recievc any of the formcl rains, two or three weeks ago Crops in consequence are injurina in some localities. The rain was plentiful *e learn, as far east and south as Camden and Magnolia. On Wednesday another slight shower here and clouds portend ing rain at a distance, in differ. ent directions. Much of the corn is already made, but considerable almost lost. Cotton is doing well everywhere.
 Star of Hope: Our friend, Pat Dannelly, Esq, is striking the right cord now, by embarking ill the business of raising stock, es- pecially sheep and hogs. Of the former he has already sixty head, and intends to increase the mum -' Der at every opportunity. He will add fine blooded Cotswold, Merino and Southdown this fall, and improve the breed. Already he has enclosed about 400 acres of fine pasturage, timbered and prairie, i'll one body, besides for ty acres of prairie in another lot. All this abounds Tn grass and herbage of the finest kind for sheep and cattle in summer and spring, while it is his determina-, !, tion to cultivate timothy and oth- CT grasses, for winter feed. This enterprise will prove remunera- tive in high degree, for the cost of raising sheep will be compar-r nothing. The timbered portion of his enclosure will af- ford abundant mast for his hogs, during fall and winter. This portion of country is we'll adapt ed to stock raising, especially sheep, and we are gratificd tO know that some of our citizens have the sagacity to embark in the business.
