A New Cereal.

Among the novelties exhibited in Agri.
cultural Hall at the Centennial is a new
cereal, weighing 60 pounds to the bushel, as
easily grown as corn, and more productive,
excellent for table use, for stock and fowls.
1t is of South American origin, but has been
acclimated in the State of Michigan since
1872, where it produced from rs to $50
bushels an acre, and will ripen where corn
will ripen. Its stalk and leaves resemble
corn, it is planted three or four feet apart,
six to eight kernels in hill, grows seven or
eight feet high, the kernels being in clus-
ter, seven or eight inches long, at the end Of
the stalk, which cuils over and hangs down
like the top of a seed onion. The kernel is
little larger and rounder than rice, which
it much resembles. 1t appears to be very
desirable addition to the cereals Of the

1t is understood to be about complete

of New York, composed of SIX Repub-

so were able to control all offices of the
City and county of New York, together
with all the powers of local government
for long periods, without any accounta-
bility. They could not be removed by
the Governor; the provision for impeach
ment was totally inadequate, and they
could extend their terms of Office al
their pleasure. In them was vested
the exclusive legal power of appropri
ating all moneys raised by taxes or loan
and an indefinite authority to borrow

and Mr.. O'Conor succeeded in maintain
ing against the desperate struggles of
the Ring. In the steps taken necessary
to retain the foothold thus gained they
were succe ssful-the ring was disIodged
and thrown from power. But proofs
were necessary to convict and punish
Its members. To obtain these, Gov. Til
den brought into requisition his pecul-
lar and infallible methods, and from the
books of the Broadway Bank, evolved
the first, and for a long TINA the only,
judicial proofs of the frauds committed
Based upon these, Mr.. O. Conor insti-
tutei suits, and, as result, the mem
bers of the Tweed Ring became exiIes

So, too, of the Canal Ring. When it
became known that, as Governor, he
would attack this confen de7ation of men
who for years had controlled the legisla
ton of the Stately means Of both
political par t1es-a no had appropriated
millions of the peoples money, and who
had been deemed too strong for any man
to successfully assault, Gov. Tilden was
earnestly besOught by prominent and
wellmeaning men not to risk his own
popularity and the welfare of the party
by attempting that which could only
meet eer tain defeat. His answer was,
that ne had been intrusted By the pee
pie with the administration Of the aE-
fairs Of the State, that he had accepted
the trust with all its responsibilities,
that this duty was imperative and para
mount, and that criminals must be pun
ished, and the burdensome taxation of
the people reduced With out fear, and
conscious of the confidence and support
of the people, he performed his duty.
With what result the dockets of the State
Court and the tax lists abundaEtly
Show
Such are some of the respects in
which the career of Gov Tilden as q dew

States elected by the Republican party

compare the official appointments of
the respective Executives. Enough ha
been written, however, to indicate K
fair minds the imperative necessity &
radical reform and the fatuitousness of
expecting it from any source which
does not envolve an entire civic revoIu
ton.
Governor Tilden says to the peopI
of the whole country as BIO did to tn
citizens of New York in an address de
lisered at the Cooper Institute on tn
ID of November, 1871, after he begun
his battle with the Ring:

Hon. John MI. Bright and Secre-
fary BriStoy, ri . 1z... ..-...1..

Mr.. Bright, of Tennessee, a member
of the committee on expenditures Of the
Treasury Department, and Secretary
Bristow, who was before the committee,
had a little scene to-day, which for a
time caused some commotion. Mr.
Bright, although not the chairman of
the committee, seemed to conduct the
investigation. He asked certain ques-
tions to-day which Mr.. Bristow objected
to, because they seemed to intimate that
he (Bristow) had prevaricated. After
the committee had taken recess, Mr..
Bright approached the Secretary and
said, (extending his hand,) "Of course
you know, Mr.. Secretary, that as one of
the committee, / had right to ask GER
tain questions, and there was nothing
personal in the matter?" Mr. Bristow
declined the proffered hand, and remark
ed substantially that what had occurred
should be of record, and he did not pro-
pose to treat members of the committee
except as individuals, and he claimed
no immunity, as he recognized himself
only as an individual on trial 1t was
subsequently explained that there was
an old quarrel between the two gentle
men and that the conversation had not
so much reference to the testimony TAX
en- to-day and the questions asked as to
the quarrel.

Profits in Little Things.

Southern farmers have thought that no
crop but cotton could be turned into
money. They have, therefore, paid lit
tie or no attention to the minor products
of the farm, such as apples, peaches and
other products, eggs, butter, honey,
chickens, hides, tallow, etc., and even
wheat, barley, oats and other crops of
similar Importance have been neglected.
The last season has somewhat changed
this opinion in q majority of farmers.
In Arkansas county the Patrons made
an arrangement last spring with GER
tain merchant, to take. in payment for
merchandise anything marketable that
the farmers might bring. Money was
scarce and another crop uncertain, while
many little articles, of the nature above
stated, were either wasted or unnecessa-
riIy consumed, that in larger cities, to
which there was ready access, would
find an eager sale. The result of this
arrangement was, in the first six or seven
months of the year 1870, there had been
shipped and sold from the county about
$50, 900 worth of products not before
deemed worthy of sale. But for this
happy forethougllt of the Patrons, many
farmers could not have sustained them
selves through the spring; they would
have had nothing to live on while they
made crop, the merchants being unable
to credit them, aud then they having no
money to pay for what they needed.
This should teach a lesson to all who
neglect the seeming trifles of a farm.
Everything should be utilized. Mer-
chants should buy every product of the
farm, whether there is money in it OF
not; the goods which they generally give
in exchange win pay profit enough.
Thus will his sales be increased and the
country become more prosperous.

To the Editor of the Morristown Gazette:
In recent issue of your paper notice
an article, clipped from Washington

pay no attention to the SANDER, feeling
that an open, and not uneventful life Of
Ocer thirty gears among the generous peo-
pie East Tennessee, West Virginia and
Western North Carolina, would of itself
be sufficient denial of the charge. But
upon a little further reflection 1 think
best to put quietus to the matter by

the charge. Idid have a personal diff

carried out orders; he was hasty--rushed
to conclusions, and-a. Highland I did
not run, or retreat; was pushed ooer a
table, but not "knocked down" The
gentleman in question soon saw his mis-
take in the matter He has since, sew
eral times through friends, and taCSce in
person, made ample apologies, and we
are now good friends. Among the sew
eral hundred newspaper reporters here,
of course some sensation was made, and
as great majority are not disposed to
treat a Southern man fairly, but want to
cast as much obloquy as possible upon
all those connected in any way with the
present House of Representatives, this
little affair was sent abroad as another
instance of a, "doorkeeper insulting a
gentleman" ~ ID 5l1- -i17tia
The matter is now all over; 81 all quiet

difficulty away from home, L hope it will
be my last. Any papers that have no
ticed this matter will confer favor by
publishing this, as whole, or in part.
