SEAsoNABLE HINTs.-Cattle are all
anxious to get out that have been con-
fined all winter, to stretch their legs,
and the habit is far too common for
farmers to turn them into fields and pas
lures too early in the spring. In fields
especially, stock treads up the ground,
tears up the grass roots and does very
much damage not only to the coming
crop Of hay, and that, too, without re.
ceiving any corresponding benefit, for
grass which grew last year and has lain
out all winter is about as nutritious as
dry sticks or hemlock chips. In pas.
lures stock does similar damage though
perhaps not as serious. Still it is vel
to get cattle out as soon as may be no

TRANSMITTING NAPLES.

TRANSATLANTIC NAPLES.
Shade trees add much to the enjoy
ment of any country home, and among
ornamental trees the maple takes a high |
rank. No variety of trees presents a
more beautiful appearance than SYM
metrically shaped maple, unless it be
the elm. The most admirable arrange
ment is to have judicious informing
ling of both kinds, with few evergreens
added. In this region of country naples
can be readily obtained, and with a
small outlay of time and expense, any
man may adorn his grounds and his
roadsides with that which will be a per-
petual source of enjoyment to those who
shall come after him, even if he does not
live to see the full-grown trees. 1t is
very appropriate that this centennial
year should be time of general tree
planting, and we hope the suggestion,
coming as it does from many directions,
will be adopted and acted upon in every
town and neighborhood. The difference
in value between homestead well COW
cred with shade and fruit trees, and one
which is destitute of them, is very great.
Besides, there is utility in the sugar
maple which no other possesses, and the
thought of the sweetness that our chill
dren may draw from them in future years
should encourage US to plant literally of
this crop. The boys should be interest
ed in this matter, for the young saplings
which they assist in planting now, will
be large trees forty or fifty years hence,
and the satisfaction which they may de-
rive from witnessing their development
! will abundantly repay them for their
labor. The Country Gentleman gives
some directions as to the mode of opera

When the great organs of public opinion
in the North are teeming with evidences
of the guilt of Ames and his accomplices,
and are familiarizing the mind of that

people here in Mississippi who know the
guilt of these conspirators and have
charged it home upon them, were hesita-

Jacobs Ladder.

Nine-tenths Of the colored people pay
no tax on real estate, and one-half do
not pay even the poll-tax which is devoted
exclusively TO the common schools at
which the children of that race are
taught. Therefore the point of the bill
introduced by Mr.. Jacobs, colored Re-
publican member of the House from
Adams county, will be seen. That
member essayed to ascend an eminence
of fame by scheme requiring parents
who pay no taxes on real estate to pay
twenty-five cents tax on each educable
child for the benefit of the school fund
whether the said child Is an attendant at
school or not. 1t would have operated
more especially upon the colored race
provided it could have been collected /;
and if the mover had been Democrat,
the usual howl would have been raised
in the Radical camp. Mr.. Guthrie, of
Lafayette, Chairman of the Committee
ON Education, reported against it, What
MI 0pSdASA Ct1CNt was pAOiH IJlCu ny t1lS
occasion to say is reported in the Oxford
Falcon as follows:
Speaker Street, who was then on the
floor, said that it had been charged by
the Democrats that the Republicans had
levied tax on everything in the State
except children. and now here was Re
publican, eolored at that, who had the
audacity to propose to this Democratic
Legislature to tax them. He moved
that the words twenty-five cents on each
child be stricken out, and ten dollars on
each old bachelor be inserted. Upon this
motion the House for the first time lost
its dignity, and INDUCED for about ten
minutes in entertaining and discussing
all kinds of absurd and ridiculous mo-
tons. The bill was finally postponed.
Thereupon the Falcon grows faeetious,
and adds:
Speaker Streets head is level. Jacobs
bill TO tax the children of the State would
tend to rsdHce the production of the ar
tiole, while Streets amendment, taxing
old bachelors, would have the effect to
increase the supply. Bully for Street.

AN ILL-5UDGED sCmEmE.

We see that Mr.. Wiley Wells (Repub-
lican) has introduced bill to refund the
cotton tax in the interest of common
schools. 1t is simply intended for the
county of Buncombe, and will be treat
ed accordingly.
We regret TO note that Mr.. Cook
Democrat, of Georgia, has also intro
duced refunding bill He has better
prospect of riding to the moon in bal
loon than to carry his bill through Con-
gress, but, while he cannot succeed in
securing its passage, he can very mate
rally injure the prospects of his
own down-trodden section in the
Presidential election. Even if he
could pass his bill with six times
sixty millions of [. s. bonds paya-
bic to the Southern States as in
demnity for the tax, he would
not compensate them for the damage
they would sustain in the capital it
would furnish to the Radical party in the
| pSHdluS CiCCblous AHC OISdA anu
demagogues of that party have al
ready raised howl, and are fright
ening the nation by the clamor that
a Democratic victory will saddle the
Government with innumerable claims
for damages from the South, such as the
recognition of the Confederate war debt,
the refunding Of the cotton tax, payment
of slaves and schemes of that ilk, when
in truth, the people of the South neither
ask nor expect anything of the kind.
4 They have turned their backs upon the
past, and are seeking to repair its disas-
tiers not by special legislation for the ben
eft of any class, but by restoring to
power party which will concede to each
State alike the enjoyment of all the inn
munities and principles which the con-
stitution was designed to secure.
! lii reference to this refunding job, a
Washington correspondent of the New
York Tribune says:
a year ago a strong lobby was organized
for the purpose of securing a refund OF this
tax. The certificates showing its payment
have been bought up in the South at nomi-
nal rates, and were said to have been held
by a few speculators, and had they succeed
Cd, those interested would have made IA
clear profit of from S30000,000 to $50,000,-
coo.
This year several new plans have been
proposed. One is that the tax shall be
refunded to those who actually paid it, with
out regard to present ownership of the GER
tificates showing such payment. Another
proposes to issue United States bonds, equal
in amount to the tax paid by the citizens of
each State, and to make those bonds per-
petual free school fund.- the interest to be
applied to the support of free schools in the
Southern States, provided the authortits OF
those States keep in operation such a system
rs is required by the bill, Other PROPOSE
tons still provide for rounding the tax to
the present holders of tax certificates.
The amount of this tax collected was
about S60,O00000. The passage of a bill to
take this sum out of the Treasury IN any
form would more than counrerbalance the
| largest sum which the House can hope to
save by the utmost economy in public eX-
| DenditureS.

Improved Variety of Cotton.

Mr.. B. F. Chambers, of the firm of
Hartwell & Chambers, New Orleans, has
sent us circular calling the attention of
planters to a rare quality of cotton seed,
called CHAMBERS PROLIFIC LONG STA
PIE SOUTH AMERICAN COTTON, from
the fact of the seed having been i'm
ported from South America originally,
and the cotton, of which it is the pro-
duct, having been grown on his planta-
ton near Greenwood, in this State. The
cotton is represented to be remarkable
for its early maturity, fruitfulness and
superior quality. The circular contains
statements from Messrs. C. Black&Co.,
commission merchants, and also Messrs.
Temple s. Coons 81 Co., general grange
agents, New Orleans, attesting the SUI
periority of the quality, and that it com
mands three and half cents more per
pound than the ordinary run of cotton.
The low price of the staple behooves pro-
ducers to repair the loss by improving
the quality Of the cotton, and increasing
the quantity produced to the acre. The
one can be done by planting the best
variety of seed the other by the use of
fertilizers and good cultivation.

Report of the Grand Jury.

It will be.seen that the Grand Jury,
composed of good citizens of both parties
and races, have made report stating
their solemn conviction, after laborious
examination, that the Clinton riot last
fall, in which many valuable lives were
lost. was wholly unprecedented. Facts
are given to show that the whites, who
were there in small numbers and made
qaately armed, certainly could not have
meditated a disturbance and that the
blacks were, in like manner, unprepared
for a battle. The Jury believe that it
was the result of sudden outburst of
passion, tho no doubt the seeds of it had
been planted by the demagogues of the
Radical party whose hope of continual
ton of their lease Of power depended
upon antagonising the white and cOloredI
races.

pRorEC-r THE uNPRorEcrED

we would respectfully call the atten-
tention of Democratic members OF the
LEGISLATURE to the fact that number of
counties are represented by fioaters
from the wreck of Radical misrule,
which is worse than no representation at
all. and that the Democratic and tax
having citizens of those counties look to
the Legislature as auhOle, and not to
their county Representatives, to protect
their interests; and they ask of the Dem
ocratic members to do by their counties
az thew would have the counties which
they represent to be done by, otherwise
great Injustice will be done the mis-
represented counties. For instance, in
the County Superintendent salary bill,
as passed the Senate, we find that $40O
is allowed in the following counties,
each of which has three members in the
House: DeSoto, Lowndes, Monroe and
Noxubee while in Adams and Madison,
with three members, $500 is allowed.
Fortunately, however, Madison has
members in the House to represent her.
Chickasaw, Lauderdale and Lee, with
two members, pays $500, while Wilkin-
son, with two members, is to pay $500.
Lefore county, with only one-halfa mem
Der, is put down at $500, while all the
other counties of one-half member are
placed at $3.50 to $50, and number OF
counties with one member are less by from
one-half to one-third. There are other in
stances, but we have cited enough to call
the attention of the Democratic members
to the necessity of protecting the unpro-
tected
