ChUfas and Japan Peas.

The introduction of these crops throughout the south will enable us to keep our stock and fill our smoke houses as cheaply as it can be done at the West. The Chufa is planted in ridge like potatoes, yields on common land 200 bushels per acre of the richest feed, unequaled for fat tening hogs, poultry--and children. One acre will fatten more hogs than ten acres of the best corn, besides furnishing grazing all summer. For the truth of these claims we refer to U. \. Commissioner of Agriculture. ashington, or to any agricultural paper in the South. Price, by mail. postage paid, 20c. package. 4Oc. a pint, 1oc. quart by express s4 a peck, $l5 bushel.
 The Japan Pea fully established its merits several years ago, and is now III universal demand. 1t grows upright like cotton stalk, is culti- Vated like corn, and yields from l50 10 ooo bushels an acre on ordinary land. Stock of all kinds relish it ana thrive highly on it without other feed. Also excellent for table use (after boiling about a week. Price Dy mall, postage paid, l5c package, 5Oc a pint, a0c quart. By express, S3 per peek, sl0 per bushel. These seeds are so scarce and costly that we cannot make any discount to wholesale dealers or granges.
 When Southern planters grow their own stock-feed and fatten their own hogs We shall hear no more of hard times and "middlle-men" for this will put ,,n end to both. If you fear to invest largely ii will cost hut triile to try these seeds, and unless your experience differs from all others you will be forever thankful Tor the trial. Address,

Spring styles ana novelties Tor the season will soon be out, and are even already on the market, and for the benefit of our readers, whose inter- est we are always looking after, we give the following directory of FIRST CLASS houses in Little Rock where any articles can be ordered and will be selected and sent almost as we'll and oftentimes better selections be made-as if you were to select in person. First, our lady friends, are directed to the neat and attractive store of Mrs. B. Cans, where the stock always looks so nice, and fresh and tastefully arranged, and where you will always be waited on by such accommodating and clever salesmen. Every novelty of the season, always of the most hand some and becoming style, may be found at Mrs. Cans, and if you fail to call there, you will regret it the next time you see some lady ac- quaintance who did her shopping there.
 Along with the other articles of dress, which every lady wants, and which they will have, Is a supply of handsome jewelrv. For any and every conceivable article in this line we take more than ordinary pleasure in referring our friends to the hand some establishment of Messrs. Der nays & Roeck, just two doors below Mrs. Cans, where the most fastide- ous will be able to find something to attract and please. Messrs. B. & K. have had long experience in their line, and deal in no shoddy goods. They have brought down the price of jewelry in Little Rock to very reasonable price.
 Next thing to nice piece of jew elry, a handsome book is valued as gift or keepsake fS person of taste. The place to get anything in this line is on out Main street at No. l07, where our friends Wilson & Webb always keep a full stock of books, stationery and book-dealers notions. When we want our money to go as far as possible, we always go to Wilson & Webb for goods in their line. Be wise and do so, also.
 Before leaving Main street, if you want anything in the way of fine liquors, wines, tobaccos, or cigars, just step across the street to No. l06 and you will find Mir. S. Rice, the afiable proprietor of the Louisville branch house. He always is well stocked up and will do much better for you than any other man.
 Taking leave of Main street we call your attention to one of the most substantial and reliable busi- ness houses in the statc-Messrs. Miller & I'enzel, corner Markham and Commerce, (near steamboat landing). This house needs no rec ommendation from us. It is THE GROCERY HOUSE of the State, and the enormous trade they have built up attests the worth of the house.
 Proceeding on up Markham street to IS, 20 and 24, in the superb Dem cla Block, we introduce you to our clever friend, Pat Raleigh. The Centennial Store which he has here opened Is "something new under the sun" and our word for it you will miss seeing one of the hand
The Russellville Democrat., 1876-04-06

somest stocks of novelties ever seen in the state and then you will miss some of the handsomest salesmen in the city. Go and see Raleigh by all means.
 And as parting word of admoni- tion we will just say that when you go into one of these establishments don't squander all your wealth :; make it go all around, for you will see something at each place which you will want.

The report was received and adopted
Mr.. Delavigne moved that as the name
OF Mr.. Iatitte had alone been published
as delinquent in payment of their dues,
that all others who were delinquent Be
published.
Mr.. Hill suggested that as two wrongs
never made right, and as it was wrong
and impolitic in publishing Mr.. Lalitte's
name, therefore he moved the indefinite
postponement Of Mr.. Delavigne's mo-
ton Mr.. Hills motion was carried.
The new constitution was then taken
up where left at last meeting to be
passed upon seriatim until finished.
After passing upon articles 8, 8 and 10,
DR.. Tebault, 10 discussion upon article

Mr.. Seaman opposed postponement.
Mr.; Tompson favored postponement.
The question was called upon the mo-

called for, when the secretary announc-

The Row About Fuel, water and Gas
philadelphia Commonwealth
There is new break in the line Of the
Radical waste OF public money. For
the past fifteen years Congress has
voted the peoples cash to the depart
ments of Government" without any
regard to economy. These departments
have been managed by such men as
LM,dau Williams, Dclano, Boutwell,,
Richardson, and Creswell. Ku Klux
agents were paid thousands Of dollars
for exciting to civil war or war Of
races, and using the peoples money as
IL there never was to be day of &C
count. When the cash appropriated
ram ont, a convenient plan to get more,
without asking how much went to the
Radical party's election committees all
over the country, was deficiency
bill" And SO, from year to year, the
waste and squandering OF the money
out Of the Federal Treasury went on
millions on millions.
The Radical party never believed "a
day Of judgment" was to come. SO the
last Congress played the same game
gress, it was left to q deficiency bill in
this Congress to cover up the items OK
haustcd. But it was not as expected
Democratic House was elected, and
now the demand for deficiency bill
has to be mode to the representatives of
the idle, suffering, impoverished tax
payers.
What do you want with deficiency
bill?" Why did you not do as all hon
est people do-live within your means?
is the reply of the Democrats to the
Radical Department. Have we not
already shown plumber, plumber, plum
der, in all directions, and now you ask
us to make up the deficiency? No, no.
Let the people understand how their
money is wasted first. This is the secret
OF the order Of Bristow stopping the
water gas and fuel in the postoffices
and public buildings in the large
cities. Let the account of these appro-
priations be examined, and ascertain
how the money appropriated has been
expended, and if it has, every cent been
honestly used, and vouchers can be had
to prove it, then will be the time to ask
for deficiency bills. The fact is, the
Radical party neveA dreamed that it
would be called on to show the public
money honestly expended, and it is
frightened out Of its senses to tell how
that is possible under the rule Of the
party Of Grant, plumber, post trader
ships, crooked whisky, Orvilles, ''Bab,"
and that sort. That the light in the
Radical camp should go out under such
an investigation is as was to have been
expected. Water the GRANTEES don't
use, and heat--well-aftera awhile.

kellogg, steele, Packard and Casey for
Washington.

Since the information has come from
Washington of a positive nature that
matters Of the administration Of Federal
officers in Louisiana are to come under
the investigation Of committee Of the
Democratic House, a new and high in
terest seems to have been awakened in
the breasts of State and Custom House
officials in regard to matters about
Washington, which, it would seem, re-
quire their presence. Kellogg intended
to go, but has compromised by sending
his man Steele on there. Steele, Pack
ard and Casey were all to have gone off
together Monday evening Then they
thought that would look suspicious, so
Steele started off, stating he was going
to his home in Canada. He may go
there. but his business is for Kellogg in
Washington. Casey left for Washing
ton last night Tor was to go), and Pack
ard will follow. Packard was to go
with Casey, but is detained by sickness
in his family. We imagine that this
trio of worthless might just as well have
remained here for all the good their
trip will result to them in the way OF
staving off Investigation. No, Messieurs,
