The Texan Frontier.

The reports from the Texan frontier
continue to represent chaotic state |
of affairs, raids being the order OF the
day, and every day, and assassinaiions
having been acciimatized on both I
sides of the border. 1t is worth While, .
SAYS the Sacramento Record, to bear
in mind, while reading statements OF
perpetual Mexican atrocities, that the
Mexicans have nobody 10 report their
side of tie case, and that the Texans
of the Rio Grande have never borne
q particularly peaceful reputation. In
fact, we are strongly inclined 10 the
belief that they are quite able and
perfectly willing to give the Mexicans
O Roland for their Oliver every time,
and that dispassionate inquiry would
demonstrate pretty even exchange
Of raid, robberieS, murders, and other
frontier amenities. 1t would be a
great mistake to suppose that the
/ Cortinas and other Mexican bandits
were exercising their lawless inclina
lions upon an orderly, peaceful and
defenScleSS community. Texas has
long been retreat and rendezvous

This may seem a somewhat barbarouS

Value Of the Oat Crop.

Editor Southern CuAirator: Why far
mers-practical farmers--can't see the i'm
portance of producing more grain (partic-
ularly more oats can't conceive. The
oat crop is very profitable one, where
the cost of production is taken into con-
sideration. If sown at the proper time,
(which is in my opinion from the 25th
Of August to the 25th of October,) it will
make more feed than corn planted and
cultivated in the usual way, at less than
one-half the expense; and I consider the
red rust proof oat surer crop in this lett
tude than corn. Would not advise the
cultivation of oats to the exclusion of
corn, but every farmer should produce a
sufficient quantity to feed his stock at
least six months out of twelve. Ut is
preferable to feed oats and corn altern-
ately, as stock relish change of diet as
much as man-in fact it is indispensable
to health and thrifty This would enable
the farmer to dispense with one-fourth of
his plough stock, the oat crop being put
/ in. at a time when teams and hands are
not engaged particularly with other farm
work. The most casual observer who
has any experience in farm management,
will readily see the amount of labor
saved by dispensing with one-fouIth of
the stock and labor, without any elabo-
rate calculation to demonstrate it, but a
few figures will make my statement more
clear to the inexperienced.
For example: Suppose you have eight
booj &c ,,,1loc onJ oult;uota O00 ooroc in
corn and cotton-you can, by planting so
acres in corn, and 60 in oats, save the
feed and wear of two mules at S115.00
each, $3.50, ,OO-wages and board of two
hands $4,000 each, 100000 total
amount saved $4,000. This would be a
nice little income, if nothing more was
saved. But the $4,000 is not all that is
saved or gained by this change. The
land is very much improved-frst, be-
cause it is protected from heavy washing
rains that are sure to come some time
during the year second, large amount
Of vegetable matter is returned to the
SOIL which is indispensable to successful
cropping third, a crop of peas can be
grown by sowing broadcast after the oats
are taken off: which is under favorable
circumstances worth almost or quite as
much as the oat crop. This gives two
crops, and leaves the land much better at
the end of each year.
By following oats with peas, land may
be sowed for q series of years in success
sion, with a gradual improvement in the
Weld, the peas acting as a fertilizer to
the oats.
By pursuing the above mentioned plan,
remuneratiye crops can be raised, and a
large deposit made in old mother earth's
bank, which can be drawn on with the
assurance that our drafts will be hon
ored. T.

There is no picture my fertile imagi-

run but water, and the water wasn't fast
water either. The Kelley Motor can
run anything from saw mill down to
running its stockholders into debt. And
speaking of running, reminds me that
my wife's tongue is a little better thus
morning, but the eye is gone. In the
future she will only go one eye on me.
Unless those fingers improve right smart
ly she will only be able to go one hand

In my opinion the Kelley Motor is by
far-my wife is calling me to rub more
salve on her face. Poor thing! Her face
looks worse than if lightning had struck
it nosv. 1t looks more like her nose had
turned volcano, and erupted without CIV
ing due notice to the surrounding coun-
try. ButI am giving her all attention.
The doctors bill is going to be heavy,
but then I don't think she will live long,
poor thing, I'll have to let Kelley go on
with his Motor.

POLITICS IN JOURNALIsM.-Mr Hardy
Solomon has explained to reporter of
the Columbia Register what was the "pe-
cuniary" and valuable consideration"
mentioned in the Dunn-Cardozo CORES
pondence, in connection with the transfer
of Solomon's interest in the Columbia
Ul,ion- Herald to treasurer Cardozo. The
substance of this explanation is as fol-
lows:
Last fall, after the removal of County
Treasurer Neagle, Cardozo stated to MIR.
Solomon that NeaglVs accounts were
backward, and settlement was to be
forced. He suggested to Solomon that
he purchase a large amount of consolida-
ton bonds held by Neagle, and which
would necessarily be offered at a sacrifice.
Solomon not having the money where
with to purchase, the following plan was
suggested by the Treasurer and adopted ):
The former was to buy these bonds of
Neagle and place the cash to his credit
in the bank. Neagle was then to give
Cardozo check on the Bank and Trust
Company, which was to be deposited to
the States credit, and no money thus be
drawn out. Last January these bonds,
purchased of Ncagle by Solomon-had
advanced in value to fifty cents, at which
figure they were sold, and $4,000 profit
realized. Half of this sum was pressed
upon Cardozo by Mr.. Solomon as his
share; but in acknowledgment of several
favors rendered the treasury by Solomon,
the former insisted on relinquishing all
claim to the profits. In the meantime,
however, Cardozo was trying hard to
have the State deposits removed from
Solomon's Bank without his knowledge,
and in this fact, on his discovering it.,
Mr.. Solomon readily saw the reason for
the Treasurer's disinterested generos.
ity. In his defence against impeach-
ment, Mr.. Cardozo used every effort
to break down the bank, and have the
State funds removed. These deposits,
amounting at that time to $751; 900, were
soon after reduced to $160,000. Mr.. Sol
| omon called on Governor Chamberlain,
and urged the necessity for his bank
holding at least $780, 900, and was refer
red to Mr.. Dunn and the Treasurer
The latter, on being sought. received MIR.
Solomon quite cordially-this being their
| first meeting since the disagreeable re!a-
tions existed between them. In the
course of conversation Cardozo, referring
to the Neagle bonds transaction, detailed
the expenses incident to his defence on
the impeachment trial. He said. that the
State deposits in Solomon's Bank would
be increased, as desired to 100000. and
asked that Mr.. Solomon transfer to him
his interest in the Union-Herad, which
transfer, Cardoza said, would make every
thing square between them. This was
done in April last, during which month
the deposits were increased, after which
Mr.. Solomon signed the transfer.

Gov. CHAMBERLA1N's BAD LUCK
Is it not strange that some unlucky ac-
cident befals every financial board upon
which Gov. Chamberlain is placed? We
are all acquainted with his misfortunes
before he became governor. Since his
elevation to this high dignity, he has met
with another piece of bad luck. His was
the casting vote which placed the deposit
in Solomon's bank. And when the bank
fails be pleads ignorance ofits condition,
expresses sorrow that he was victim of
misplaced confidence, and demands that
the public excuse him. And thus far for
some reason he has escaped all blame
Now if the assertions of the Treasurer be
true Gov. Chamberlain is as culpable as
Comptroller Dunn. If an investigation
of the condition of the bank was demand
ed by Cardozo before the deposit, was
made, it was the bounden duty of the
Governor to vote for this resolution, and
to institute the most searching scrutiny.
He owed this to the people, and he owed
it to himself; for he had discovered IN
his past career that even q mistake in
public official is an offence.
The only defence the Governor can
make is to deny the warning of the Treas
urer. He has declared that he knew
nothing Of the instability of the bank,
and this declaration was accepted, before
the appearance of Cardozo's letter. This
letter demands further response from
the Governor.
We have always taken the position
that as long as Mr.. Chamberlain makes
good Governor his past record should be
held in allegiance. But when we see
heavy losses to the State occurring now,
through the negligence or venality Of the
financial board, ofwhich Governor Cham
berlain is member, similar to those that
disgraced the State in the days when At
torney- General Chamberlain was q mem.
ber of the board, we must say that for,
bearance ceases to be virtue and we
must require of the Governor the same
explanation as is demanded from the
other members.-FairfeM Herald.
