comments yesterday on the way in which tho
Committees investigation had been conducted
There appears to be some ground for belief
that the inquiry has not been carried on WIFI
that entire impartiality and that vigorous de-
termination to get at all the truth, no matter
whom it may hurt, that should attend such q
work. Anmosity against any one person OF
party should not be allowed to get the ascen-
dency over Jealous desire for reform in the
methods of the Police Department. The Com.
mittee and their counsel cannot be too careful
in this matter

But everybody knows him to be thoroughly fncor-
ruptible industrious and capable. The country has
had during the last fifteen years no more faithful
servant than its sturdy old Watchdog OF the Treas-
my. He has his faults but they are of very hui
man kind and most people like him none the less
for them. Carping at Gen. Spinner will bring no
votes to the Democratic ticket. Both tickets this
year made up Of eminently respectable men, and
people are going to vote either to affect Canal Re
FORM or the Currency question, or the Presidential
election. They are not going TO change their votes
because some blackguard newspaper calls respect
able candidate names
Citizens who want to cast their votes for tho
country rather than for a party-there are good
many such even in Pcnnsylvania-are much puzzled
by the condition of affairs in that State. On the
hand q vote for the Republicans may help the Rings.
particularly in Philadelphia. On the other
hand a vote for tho Democrats is sure TO
help the inilationists. 1t is good deal
like being called on TO choose between
the Devil and the deep sea. But the majority OF
liberal and independent voters who give serious
thought to the subject likely, on the whole, to
make up their minds that initiation in the present
critical condition of the currency question IL the
more Immediately dangerous enemy. II the mia
tionists should carry Ohio and follow that by
victory in Pennsylvania the fight for honest cur
rercy in 1876 would become desperate, not to say
hopeless. The Philadelphia Ring Is chronic dis

This New-York campaign is not o good one for

Mr.. Bgelow, and getting laughed at by fair-minded
men for their pains. The Democrats have been try

General has his own opinions on most Matters and
on finance especially he is a. mad as March hare.

In the Toledo letter which we PRINT to-day
there are some significant expressions of opin-
ion from the Rag-MOney candidate for Gov
ernor of Ohio. There has been good deal of
discussion among Democrats, as we'll as Re-
publicans, as to the probable effect of Dem
ocratic victory in Ohio upon the position
of that party in the Presidential campaign
of next year. Gov. Allen has no hesitation in
saying what he thinks about it, His election
would insure the nomination of 'Westsrn
man for President and the ratification Of the
financial plank of the Ohio platform by the
National Convention. This outspoken decara-
ton should open the eyes of those honest but
misguided Democrats who believe they can lend
aid and comfort to the Rag Money crowd in
Ohio without damaging the cause Of hard
money in the country at large. 1t is also sig
nilicant that Gov. Allen places himself squarely
upon the PENNSYLVANIA style of imitation plat
form and hugs the Brindle dollar to his heart.
On the whole, his brief talk with our CORE
spondent is one of the most interesting cOntri-
buttons TO the literature OF this campaign.

The Police Commissioners, on the application
Of tho Assembly Committee on Investigation
of Crime in this city, have given assurance
that they will protect from annoy lance by any
persons in the Department witnesses who may
testify before the Committee. This step
which was not taken without considerable de-
bate in the Boards a good one. and if fol-
lowed up earnestly by the Commissioners may
be expected to aid the work of the Committee
largely. Police captains and their subOrdinates
can easily intimidate people into Withholding
testimony which Injuries them, unless those who
can give such testimony are confident OF pro-
lection from the heads Of the Department.

Manure in Gardening.

Mr.. Hardaway, i'm his paper on Mar
ket Gardening, read before the Georgia
state Agricultural Society, at its last
meeting, said that to succeed in raising
me vegetables, manure must be used
laVlshly. Last spring. he adds, "a
farmer friend came To look at my gar
den, and after wondering at the guam
uty and size of the vegetables, he par
ticularly admired very large bed Of
turnips, and they look like dwarfs,
compared with yours. He was
amazed when | informed him l had put
hity-two wheelbarrows of manure on
that single bed. 1t is astonishing how
much one acre can be made to produce.
As much as eighty-two tons of beets
have been gathered from one acre.
Mr.. George w. Gift is said TO have
raised one thousand bushels of turnips
to the acre, for the Memphis market,
and 1t is stated in one of the Northern
agricultural journals that five hundred
bushels of IRISH potatoes We're raised on
one acre. Seven thousand cabbages
can be easily grown upon one acre.
Mr.. Gregory, Il well known market
gardner and scotsman, at Marblehead,
Massachusetts,, has sold in the Boston
market as much US thirty-four tons of
squashes per acre, and as high as one
hundred and forty dollars per ton, the
usual average price being about thirty
live dollars per ton, being one thou
sand one hundred and ninety dollars
per acre. Mr.. Gregory also says it is
not uncommon for the gardeners near
10y to raise from seven hundred to nine
hundred bushels onions per acre, and
prices generally average about two
dollars and fifty cents Der barrel. This
Is the result of the intense system of
manuring. Mr.. Peter Henderson, the
great market gardener, puts as much
as one ton of guanoto the acre, and
sells as much as one thousand dollars
per cre.-RurdL CdrOLnian.

of men no more; and,
Whereas, He has achieved by his
honest integrity and uncomfortable
purpose "a place and name i'm his coun-
try's history with which he has been
so intimately connected during the
last quarter of a century, of which we
as citizens OF the State of Ter nessee are
justly proud; and
Whereas, The success attained by
the life work of Andrew johnson
furnishes the best evidence of our
fathers in establishing a government
OF the people, for the people, and by
the people; and
his devotion to country, constitution
and the flag of the nation, was such
that his last request was bury me
amid the folds of the stars and
stripes. Therefore,
Resolved, That in the death of An
drew johnson, the people of Tenn
essee and the United States have lost
IA politician of strict integrity and I'M

An AneCdOte Of the Late Senator
johnson.
From Tho Now York Herald.

The news of the death of Senator
Andrew Johnson spread rapidly
through the city, and created gener-
al feeling Of regret Political differ
ences were forgotten in the many kind
and noble actions that were credited to
the deceased. Nearly every one who
had ever been associated with the ex-
President dad something kind to say
about him or some little anecdote to
relate, illustrative of good traits in his
character. One gentleman told quite
an interesting little narrative of an in
cident which took place when the ex-
President was Military Governor of
Tennessee. A young boy had been
captured by the Federal troops on sus-
picion of bushwhacking, and was in
generated in the penitentiary at Nash
vile. 1t appears that the charge was
groundless, as the boy was q member
of "A regular command, commissioned
by the head of the Confederate Gov
eminent. The boy found his prison
life very irksome, and having bored
hole through the wall of his cell he
jumped to the ground The drop was
too great, however, and he shattered
his leg very badly. He was recaptur-
ed and returned to prison, where, after
NsN ouiENOiio NNNANCN ~
was necessary to amputate the limb.
The boy objected and finally became
very sick as modification set in. In
the meanwhile the boys mother hear
ing of the whereabouts of her son,
Travelled so miles to reach him, but
was refused admission to his cell. AZ
ter some useless application to the offs
cials, she finally made her way
through the guards at the Capitol and
entered the presence of Governor
Johnson. The Governor was sur
rounded by army officers high in rank
at this time, and: was attending to
some important business, immediate
ly when he saw the afflicted mother he
arose and courteously offered her his
scat. After hearing her story he gave
her pass, which admitted her to the
penitentiary. A short time afterwards,
when the facts of the case became
known, Governor Johnson pardoned
the boy, and gave him up to the care
of his mother. He was then very
sick, but she managed to move him to
her home, where he finally recovered.
He is now well and enjoying perfect
health. The gentleman who told the
story was IA brother of the boy, and
was evidently much moved by the
news of the death of his mothers and
brothers. benefactOr

The Virgin Mary's Wedding Ring

An old Monkish legend relates the
story that Joseph and Mary used a
wedding ring, and that it was set with
onyx. The legend says that it was dis
covered in the year 996, when it was
given by jeweler from Jerusalem to
lapidary of Closium, who had been
sent to Rome by Marquis Of Etruria
to make purchases for her. The jew
eler told the lapidary of the precious
ness Of the relic, but he dispised it,
and left it for several years among 9TH
er articles of inferior value. Howev-
er, a miracle revealed to him its gen.
uineness, and it was placed in church,
where it worked many curative won-
In 1873 it was deposited with some
Franciscans at Clusium, from whom it
was stolen; and ultimately it found its
way to Perusia, where church was
built for it, and it still performed mir
acles. None spoils this pretty story by
saying the miracles were trifling in
comparison with its miraculous pow
ers of multiplying itself. 1t existed in
different churches in Europe at the
same time, and each ring being as gen.
uine as the others, 1t was paid the same
lOnOrs as the deVOut.

DESTROYING Weeds.

July and August says the Rural Ne,U
Yorker, are probably the best months in
the year for destroying weeds. The sum-
mer heats are at their flercest and all an
nual weeds cut down at the root speedily
wither and die. The tougher perennials
have made their growth for the season and
have nearly perfected their seed The
root then has least vitality, and if the top
be cut off a feebler effort is made to repro
duce 1t especially if the weeds grow in n
tough sood of grass. We have known fire.
quent mowings of thistles in sod to reduce
the vitality of the patch so much that it
would produce only here and there stalk
until the field was ploughed again.
In the growing corn August is, of all
months, the time to destroy Canada thistles
and quick, Keep the plant down AS much
as possible early in the season, then, as the
corn begins to tassel out, go through with
a light hoe and cut out every spear ofthistle
and pull up every blade of quack with all
the root that can be got attached. The
quaclS should be put in heaps and burned,
but the thistle roots will seldom if ever
start again, and pulling up Mt this season
OF the year, or even cutting of, is final
and certain destruction. The cost of doing
this is not large varying with prices of labor
and abundance Of weeds; but we are salts
fled that it is always profitable operation
on all land foul with thistles. We have
repeatedly had the cost more than repaid
not only in the crop, but in the succeeding
oats and barley, besides leaving the land
cleaner for years thereafter.

The Storms in Indiana.

The indianapolis Journal Of July 81
has reports Of the conditions OF the
crops in every county in Indiana with
which communications could be had
by telegraph, with mail reports from
others, and also special dispatches from
a considerable portion Of Eastern Illi>
nois. From these reports 1t appears
that the injury done by the recent
storms is widespread and remarkably
uniform, even in widely-separated To-
calities. In all, except a few northern
counties Of Indiana the damage to the
wheat has been very great. Most OF it
Is cut and In shock, but there has been
no opportunity TO house or thrash il,
and it has sprouted, rendering it alto
gether understandable, and much of
IL UNFIT for any use whatever. The
oats and flax have been beaten down
by the heavy rains, and the ripened
seed-balls of the flax are bursting,
while the oats are in such condition
that the greater part are only fit for feed
ing to stock. Until quite recently the
promise was good for an unprecedent-
ed yield of oats, but the destruction
wrought by the later rains will make
the crop almost an entire failure. Early
in the season corn promised well,
1.-THE excessive wet weather has dam
aged it greatly. Much of that in the
bottoms is overlooked, and will be all
most if not entirely ruined, while even
that upon uplands has suffered severe
ly, not only from the direct effects of
too much rain, but from want of Gull
tivation, which the rain has precluded.
In many sections potatoes are rotting
in the ground, and this crop will fall
much below the average yield. In a
few OF the northern counties in In
diana there has been gratifying ex-
emption from the general disaster, and
the farmers are harvesting good crops
of wheat, while other crops give flat
tering promise ofEa good yield. With
these exceptions, and that of some of
the southern counties, in which the
wheat harvest, coming earlier, before
the setting in of the late continuous
rains, enabled the farmers to secure it
in tolerably fair condition, the outlook
is gloomy one for the producer. In
this state of affairs the consumer is to
be congratulated upon the fact that al
most unprecedentedly heavy crops
have been harvested in the transmits
sissippi States.

JOHN WEBB.
His Wife visits Him In Jail.

John Webb, the unfortunate man
who is to expiate the terrible crime of
murder on the gallows at this place
next Friday, was visited on Sunday
by members of the Young Mems
Christian Association, who held servi~
ces and conversed with him on the
subject of religion. He gave respectful
attention to what was said, but mani
tested little concern for his future and
eternal welfare. He still protests his
innocence of the crime OF which he
was convicted.
Yesterday his wife arrived here from
Missouri, aud soon after sought
an interview with him. Sher-
if Swan readily acceded to her
request and granted her permits
sion TO visit the Jail. The meeting is
Is said to have been very affecting, and
the prisoner manifested more feeling
than at any time since his arrest. She
reminded him of their situation in
Missouri, where their home might, but
for his course, have been happy one.
That she had warned him that his acts
would bring him into trouble. She
told him how, when he left her their
home had been sold, together with all
they had, and how she had struggled
to support the children. Her tale of
woe was thrilling one and brought
tears to the eyes Of all present.
She has the appearance of an intel
ligent and kind hearted woman, and
her journey here, which she accom-
plished under the greatest difficulty,
being without means to travel comfort
ably, is another evidence of woman's
constancy to an object that once COM
mands her love. She is entitled to the
sympathles of Christian public.

A Husband freed.

A citizen who was driving along the
Jackson road the other day, says the
Vicksburg Herald, saw man ub a
tree near the roadside, and halting,
he enquired: "What are you doing up
there?" The man made no reply, and
the citizen continued: What's the
cause Of your being up there?" At
that moment woman rose up from
the fence corner, rested a club on the
fence, and remarked Pm the cause,
stranger, and if you'll wait till he
comes down you'll see the worst field
of carnage around here that ever laid
out doors % The citizen drove on, and
she turned to the man up the tree and
continued: Polhemus, can't climb,
and you know it; but II you'll drop
down here for two minutes I'll give
you quitclaim deed Of the farm !''
