The Ohio Campaign.

- The political cauldrsn is boiling to
bubbling over in Ohio, ana the next
ten days will witness the liveliest po-
lotical jockeying among the buckeyes
ever known in a state contest. SchurZ
has sounded the long-rOll TO the hard
money men, and partially steadied the
wavering lines on the Republican side.
He can pipe, but will the people
dance? His disputation may be hard
TO answer, but it doesn't buy the child
q freck, or lay in winters pork, or
make. the cupboard fragrant with
bread and meat, or put the thriftless
man to work. The logic of silenced
spindles and smokeless forges and
mills that rest in solitude is what all
can see and comprehend, while the
soundest theories of the philosophers
and statesman go for naught against
empty pockets and hungry stomachs.
1t was SO in 1910, it was so in 1858, it
was so in 1874, and will it be otherwise
i'm 1875? 1t honest government could
be offered by Mr.. Schurz, there would
be force in his mastery reasoning, but
he asks the people to vote for a party
that he can't defend, and for a general
political policy that he has denounced
as unexanpled in prof1igacy and COR
ruption. Generals Woodford and
Ewing are to open in few days in
Joint discussion, and there will be sor-
ry words between them. Woodford
is able, logical and eloquent; Ewing is
master of the arts of popular eratory
and is at home. He will cruelty
Wood ford, and make the people un.
derstand the notes of Aliens fog horn
better than ever before. Pennsylva-
mia, too, is about to send her fresh Re-
publican reapers for the political har
vest. Kelly has already strewn the
soft money seed there, and eX-Gover-
nor Curtin, Hon. Samuel Calvin, Hon.
George Landon and Hon. Morrow 3.
Lowery will all make the valleys of
the Ohio ring with their eloquence in
favor Of Allen next week. They go
to be in at the, death, and when the
battle is over they can accept or dis
pense funeral services as the election
returns may happen to require. AL
Ohio is pretty political
Jun GLE. and while doubts are thick on
every side we look for hard times to
beat hard money and give Allen the

Gun correspondents, at McAllister $
X Roads says the crops in that neigh
borhood look fine and promise an
abundant yield. He says the weeds
and grass are growing fast, not for lack
of energy and industry on the part of
the farmers, but on account of the
wet weather. There is some complaint
of tobacco frenching, and farmers fear
1t will be seriously damaged if the wet
weather continues. The young ladies
and gentlemen of the neighborhood
had spelling match at Smiths old
church, which was very interesting, but
they were much disturbed last Saturday
night by Esquire Batson trying to run
the digs from under the house, 10 get
chance to tax them. The Squire
said he knew the number Of dogs un-
der the house, but he did not know
whether they were one dollar or five
dollar dogs, but he finally settled the
point by putting them all in the five
dollar class. Prof. Abernathy's school
commenced on the 18th inst, and his
prospect for full school is very good.

LETTER FROM TARsUs.

EDITORS CHRoNfcLE With album
dant rains, magnificent crop prospects.
an abundance of labor and an appear
ance ofindustry and frugality on every
side, can We not with some reason hope
for cessation Of the cry of hard
times" and look forward to time in
the future when cur people, weary and
discouraged as they have been for the
last few years, will be well supplied
with not only the necessaries, but many
of the luxuries of life.
Eight short weeks have hardly pass
ed since the cry went throughout our
neighbOrhood that there would be a
failure in tobacco, our staple crop, on
account of the freeze in April. Tobac-
co plants had just begun to show them
selves. Every one was ready to say
the plants were either killed or badly
injured. Today there is a larger
acreage of tobacco planted in the 10Th
District than was ever known before.
The question now arises. is there labor
enough to cultivate the weed? | fear
not, for many Of our farmers have
planted more than they can cultivate
properly, and the inevitable result will
be an inferior crop
On account of the continued rain
tobacco is frenching. Wheat is also
damaged in the shock. Wheat isvery
good this season, bat not so good as it
was last.
The cora crop is like Mr.. b. ".
lIussey's sweethelrt-"purty sho-'
was never more promising than at pre-
sent. In our neighborhood it is gen
orally yery forward, but it is yet too
early TO say with any certtinty what it
will make. Farmers have exerted
every energy this year, aud, | hope,
not in vain.
We have very large church, built
by the people Of this community, in
which the Grlngers and Good Temp
lars hold their meetings.

better, and presents decided improve
ment in every respect; since it has
dropped the patent outside" the
wouId-be monopoly in the advertising
business. The editor does not censure
those papers who still cling to foreign
outsides, but very truthfully says that
there is not single paper in Tennessee

Whilst we have no word of condem-
nation for those who use them we have
long since come to the conclusion that
if we could not print both sides of our
paper we would print none at all. 1t
may be our fate not to stem the tide,
but if we have to go down, we will do
so like little men, and make room
for some enterprising newspaper man
who desires to fill vacancy"

Is it profitable to raise millet and
Hungarian grass2 We can suppose
conditions under which it becomes al
most necessity to cultivate them but
such conditions are, in almost every
instance, the result of improvidenee.
Both these grasses are ANNALS; the
seeds have to be provided every year /;
the ground has to be prepared for
each successive crop; both take from
the soil without returning anything to
it and neither affords grazing. On the
Other hand clover and the meadow grass
es are perennial, profitable for graz
ing, make good hay, fertilize instead
of inpoverishing the soil, and need
re-seeding and re-preparation of the
ground only at long intervals. Every
farmer who will analyzc the question
will, we think, arrive at the conclusion
that millet and Hungarian grass do not
pay.

who were enjoyed them very much.
