New-York tribune., 1875-03-06

The address of Major NJ. R. Delany at 1rv-
ing Hall last night was notable as the thought-
full utterance of one of the ablest cOlOred men
in the South, and one of the few of his class
who are in sympathy with the Conservative
party. Major Deanys review of the political
situation in the South is worth careful peru
sal, and it would be well if his words OF
warning to bis own race could be heard by
every colored voter in the country.
New-York tribune., 1875-03-06

We print for the first time (on the third
page of this mornings issue) Mr. Tiltons
"True Story" and our reporters true story OF
the way in which it was procured. Many
detached points in this curious narration arc
already familiar to the public, but
they are presented for the first
time in their proper order, and the
document as a whole deserves the most crltl-
cal examination from those who are anxious
to study this case for themselves, instead of
taking the opinions of the lawyers about it.
The story of Mrs. Tilton's brothcr-given on
the same page-is equally remarkable.
New-York tribune., 1875-03-06

Some interesting details of the sulfcrings of
the people of Nebraska and Kansas by famine
and cold are gwen in letter printed oil our
fourth page. Those who have contributed to
the relief of the destitute on the stricken
frontier will be reassured by this letter of the
worthiness of the iobject of their charity, and
perhaps the knowledge that the picture OF
destitution has not been Overdrawn, may in
duce others to send in their subscriptions.
Our correspondent gives incidentally graphic
sketches of some of the incidents of life in
the half-scttled portions of Colorado, Kansas.
and Nebraska.
New-York tribune., 1875-03-06

The adoption of Mr.. Poand's report by the
House of Representatives seems to have sup
piled whatever was necessary for the return
of the era of good feeling in Arkansas. For
several days the telegraph has brought
tidings of demonstrations of joy and now the
Legislature, on the motion of a colOred Repub-
lican, passes q resolution declaring the State at
peace and extending general welcome to
immigrants, with promise of freedom of
speech and safety in person and property. 1t
is questionable whether Congressional indorse-
ment of the Presidents policy would have
had the same happy effect.

MULBERRY, Saline Co. kas., Feb lith
EpIToR JOURNAL: As il is through
the medium of the pen that all things
arc brought to light, it is for thai,
purpose am seated. While there are
many things TO suggest themselves 10 the
mind, the most important should de-
mand our attention first. What few
words shall say will he about the trag-
cdy that took place on +. creek, short
time ago--you no doubt have had some
notice of il. 1t is the poisoning of
child by its mother, and her confession
Of the crime, and some other things
connected with the matter that call tor
a rigid investigation of the matter by the
proper authorities; we, the people here,
have been informed that the father OF
the child, went 10 Salina and consulted
the officers OF the county about the mat
ter and wanted to know what To do
about it, and was informed that he had
better let the matter drop. Now Mr..
Editor there has not in my opinion been
blacker murder, or one more cruel and
heart-rending than was committed by
Mrs. Pearson. II is claimed she Is M
sane suppose she was, which many
doubt J should not her sanity be invcsti-
gated, and if she Is insane 10 tho extent
that she can take the life of her own
child, is she a hi person to have charge
of children or even be permitted 20 run
at large. She may be insane again, and
the other child that God has given her
may pass away in like manner, and 1t
may not stop here; her husband is not
safe; or will ask is the community safe
when such things can be done without
investigation. lnfanticide or child mur-
der is one of the most shocking of all
murders, and no christian people should
tolerate il. The county is investigating
and prosecuting criminals. the crimes of
which will dwindie into insignifcance
when compared with toe one committed
on F. creek; all christian people call for
n rigid investigation, and il che isinsane.

CHILLI CIaYaR. OR .ALFALFA."

Several Saline county farmers are try
ing the experiment of raising Ch'li clio.
YER, or alfalfa" Those who have tired
it are we'll pleased with the success they
have had. 1t is the opinion of some OF
them that it is the only grass which can lie
successfully raised in Kansas. We do
not believe this, but arc of the opinion
that it is one of the best grasses which
can be raised. California seems to be
its best "stamping ground'in Americas at
present. In that country three crops OF
it can be gathered each year, and as high
as ten tons can be raised TO the acre by
irrigating the fields in tho long dry
summer, the quality of the hay so pien-
titully obtained being better than that
of the best red clover. In seeding for
hav il is recommended to SOW broad
cast at tho rate OF twenty pounds per
acre, sowing halt one way and crossing
with the other halt. The root runs down
dcoply--in some instances as tar rs ten
feet. In California sheep are kept prot
itably on alfalfa both summer and WIN
ter, without grain. In New York State
(uerkimcr county,we bclieve) it estimat-
ed that the average quantity OF land
needed for one year per COW is three
acres, while on lands covered with alfalfa
it takes one acre for two cows, if pastur,
cd, and four cows, if soiled. The
plant likes hotter sun than othei
grasses, and in soils where il can send
its strong tap-roots deep into the ground
il will stand an indefinite amount OF
drouth. After the grasshoppor army
passed over the country, this grass came
out green aud as flourishing as before.
1t is the opinion of the farmers with
whom we have conversed that alfalfa Is
just the thing for this country, and they
are going TO give it trial. 1t makes
tho best hay of any grass or clover
known and is just the thing for Writer
feeding.
