Judge Montgomery Moses.

The impeachment trial of Judge
Montgomery Moses, of tho seventh
judicial circuit, has ut last assumed
IL form from which We may draw Il
conclusion based upon the I'M
contradictoA testimony Of witnesses.
The charges preferred against him
nro roduciblo to two--ncglcct Of
official duty, and corrupt practices
on tho bench. Tho first was shown
by tho evidence Of mombors of tho
bar and others, who tostitied that
thoHSh tho several dockets were
Constantly full, thcro Wits scarcely
q single satisfactory session Of
court during Judge NIoscs' admin,
istration. OF course, this gross
neglect must have had bad effect
upon tho community, and likewise
have occasioncd much personal in
convenience and perhaps suffering.
What the Judges defence to this
charge might have !}ecn wo arc Mt
aloss to know, and We arc c.,uallv
ut loss to conceive what excuse
no could have presented. So much
for tho charge uf iftglcct of official
duty. The ether is far more
serious, and if tr,,o far more
amnins. Many witpsses, county
officials, testified before Che court of
impeachmont that Judge Moses
moro than once requested of them
loans of money. S. ~. poinior,
county treasurer of Spartanburg,
testified that Judge Moses had
asked him, in 1875, for loan of
$3.50; that no refused on tho
ground That no had only $75O of
ofieial funds, and did not regard
that sum sufficient for the expenses
OF tho court then IN session that
tho Judge insisted, saying that ii
would bo ample !; that ho finally
raisod $3.50 md lent it as desired.
John G. Darlington, sheriff of
Nowbcrry county, testified that
Judge Moses frequently borrowed
money from him. On ono oecasion
tho Judge told him that hoc must
have money, and on the Witness
insisting that ho' had none, his
Honor replied that ho knew the
sheriff must havo' SOME, from,
dccrees ho himself had Just made,
Upon Carrington's saying that these
were official funds and could not
be touched, tho Judge said TINT
the money was subject to tlro order
of the court and the court wante,l
it, and that he would pass no orders
fer the sheriff to pay out tho money
in question until tho court had paid
1t back. just at this time m
attorney proposed OIL order, by
consent Of parties direc ting the
disbursement c! H. 71d, in mes.

CTLTITITE THE CORN.

Constant cultivation cannot be too
strongly urged for the corn crop.
AS soon as the Blade appears above
ground, pass through the rows with
harrow made for the purpose, or
with the cultivator. Constant stir
ring of the soil will destroy the young
weeds and push the corn ahead. A
week thus gained may save the crop
from an injurious frost when near
ripening. An excellent implement
for this purpose is Shares orse-hoe;
with it a careful hand may cut ont
the weeds to within an inch Of the
growing corn. By going twice in a
row the crop may be etiectually hoed,
and much hand wedding saved.
The soil does not need stirring deeply;
one inch is sufficient; deeper would
iniure the corn roots, which love to
spread near the surface. For this
reason all deep cultivation should be
avoided. The surface should be kept
level; the crop will thrive better than
by burying the roots under ridge of
soil; therefore, keep the pillow out Of
the cornliell. This crop requires
heat and moisture, and a level, mel
low, porous surface will secure these.
A soil packed with rain and baked
by the hot sun, cannot be endured;
therefore, if a heavy rain should oc-
cur, followed by dry weather, turn in
at once to the exclusion of all else,
and break up this crust. This may
be done safely even after the corn Is
in tassel. With level and shallow
cultivation no check will be given,
and good results will follow. The
roots will be uninjured. It IS the dis
turbance OF the roots, When the pants
is in blossom, that checks the growth
and Injuries the corn. Corn need not
be laid by until the rows become so
close that Il G horse can no longer
pass through without breaking down
the stalks. Permit only three stalks
to kill. If planted three feet apart
each way, with one fair ear to each
stalk, seventy bushels Of sAelled corn
per acre may be counted on. Better
cultivate five acres well, than to work
and grow weary over twenty acres,
and get fifty bushels per acre for Jour
pay.-Amyica1 Iy1jcultUjst.

A CORRESPONDENT Of the Georgia
commissioner Of agriculture calls lis
attention to a new forago-plant, which
first appeared on farm Of forty acres
in Liberty county, Georgia, owned by
two freedmen, and was first noticed
in 1871. 1t appeared to be trouble
some weed, sprin8ing up very thick :
ly after the crops We're laid by. 1t
began to spread and soon covered
every foot Of uncultivated ground.
1t has since spread over large sur
face, and has reached points several
miles distant from its original point
OF development. But, 50 far from be-
ing a nuisance, as was at first suS
pected, it has proved a great boon to
the worn out lands Of the South. 1t
is relished by farm animals, both in
the green and the cured state. AS q
fertilizer its application in one case
indicated qualities superior TO stable
manure. A farmer pIowed under
two acres Of this plant, and on an adj
joining two acres coating Of stable
manure was spread. The first two
acres produced twice as many bush
els of corn as the second two. 1t is
known as Mexican clover and is a
leguminous plant. In many local
ities it has driven out all other grasses.
1t seeds heavily, but is not an early
grower; and hence it never gets in
the way Of young crops. The first
light frost in the fall kills it.

ALs1KE CLoyER.-A practical ag-
riculturalist writes to the Main Far
mer that be has given this species Of
clover fair trial. He began ten
years ago. He sowed five pounds Of
seed on half an acre Of land in the
the spring, He had good stand Of
fine grass in the fall. The next year
he produced two loads Of hay and 100
pounds Of seed The second year the
yield of hay was the same, and l65
pounds Of seed. It's superiority over
red clover was such that he did all
lis seeding with it up to the present
time. He claims to get more pounds
Of alsike from an acre than he can
get Of red clover. 1t is no harder to
cure, and is worth one third more
per ton to feed. There are some 9TH
er points in which it is claimed TO
have the advantage Of red clover.

A Baltimore Gazette reporter
has been inter viewing Vice Presi-
dent Keyser in regard to the sus-
pension of work at the rolling mill
in this city, which event has caus-
ed considerable interest among
the company's employees in Bal
timore. Mr.. Keyser stated that
the cause of the cut in the force of
the rolling mills, was the fact of
there being a surplus of rails, the
principal products of the mills,
now on hand, and as the labor was
not needed, they concluded to dis
pense with that number OF work
men. Mr.. Keyser also stated that
their discharge would not affect
the employees at other points, and
no further reductions would be
made at present. -CUmb. Ne,Cs.
