Last spring a gentleman here,
who is the fortunate owner of a
large garden, tried the following
successful experiment to change
the nature of stiff black land OF
buck shot soil The soil was fer
tile but difficult to work and not
SO well adapted to gardening
purposes as the sandy soil. To
remedy this, he hauled a
sufficient quantity of alIuyium
from near the waters edge oftlle
bayou to cover square Of this
black land six inches in depth.
On this square he planted his
cabbage plants, and without the
aid ofany other fertilizer reap
ed an abundant crop of large,
full, round heads, equal to the
best grown in the parish. The

horticultural Items.

The vegetable and fruit crops
of this year have been unusually
abundant in this parish. Cabba :
ges and tomatoes, particularly,
were raised in profusion, the
supply being so far in excess Of
the demand that it did not pay
to transport them to market ];
consequently, untold quantities
ofthese delicious vegetables were
allowed to decay in the gardens,
only benefitting the soil with
whatever fertilizing properties
they may possess. In a few rare
instances they were utilized and
conserved in an other form. For
example, Mr.. P. e. Durand, who
had a large surplus of cabbages
in his garden, converted them
into sourcrout, which, he states,
not only equals but excels any
that he ever purchased or tested
during a long mercantile career
lemenating from the Western and
Eastern markets. This result,
however, was probably attained
by the extra care taken in select
ing the most perfect heads and
removing all the green leaves
until only the snow-white heart
Iof the cabbage was left. He was
then fastidiously nice in prepar-
ing his barrels, cutting the fruit,
arranging the same in layers Ct
uniform thickness, etc. None but
,, the purest salt was used.
We haYe some Pennsylvania
Dutch blood in our veins, dilut-
ed, it is true, to the thinness of
split silk, yet we confess that a
Idish of friend Durand's sourcrout
developed all the hereditary cpl
curean tastes of our Teutonic
ancestors.
Cabbages enough to stuff every
Dutchman in Louisiana three
times a day for six months. were
abandoned on Bayou Lafourche
alone this season.
! But what about tomatoes, out
of which the sauce par excellence
is made? We received a few
bottles of tomatoe catsup the
other day from Judge Tete, made
from the superabundance of his
crop, which was pronounced by
a co1anaisseur in such delicacies
superior to any imported article
he ever tasted.
| Every family in the parish,
this year, could, with little ex-
pense, have made its own sup
lply of pure, appetizing tomato
catsup, and enough over and

From the extensive garden of
P. E. Durand, Esq, we acknowl-
edge the receipt of a basket of
the largest, ripest and best iav-
ored tomatoes we have ever seen
here or elsewhere in lower Loui-
siana. They are of the Halfway
Excelsior variety-the earliest
variety known.
Mr.. Durand's passion for gard
ening and his firm belief that
the result of his experiments is
satisfactory, has stimulated him
to further exertions in the pro-
|duction of the rarest vegetables.
With the Jerusalem artichoke,
which Western horticulturist
lately said produced only tubors
scarcely fit for anything except
animal food, he has succeeded
perfectly.

mingling of this rich sandy de-
posit with the black stiff land

to cultivate. He is now engag-
ed in covering all his squares

it certainly proved SO in this
particular, we have at our own

For Governor.

Not any body to beat Grant if you
please. We have business on hand
now. We have been playing the games
of "how not to do it" and new way
to pay old debts" till our little account
has run up about three millions. The
crisis calls for man who will consent
to be governor for four years, without
ambition for any other place during that
period, and who will be just man enough
to do what Judgment and experience
dictate. We want a man of large
discretion aud iron will. We want &
plain man who does not dabble in the
improved mathematics which run two
into three twice and one over when
discussing our financial affairs. We want
man who can forecast a policy, who
can intelligently define it, and then
stick to it in spite Of the ID and
Browns mules. In word, we want a
MAN. If you have any Of this kind
of candidates left let Us have one. It
is our only request, and may be the last
one we will ever make Of our good
managers.

Fiat S8eaaled Convention

The executive Committee Of the Con-
sentative party of this state. through
their chairman, issued an order On the
9Th for convention to be held in Rich
mond that evening, to express the sense
Of the people Of Virginia on the presi-
dental embroglio. Such neice
Of eerontery has no precedent
in our history, if in the world.
A State convention Oh one days notice.
Who is to constitute it: Who can be
delegated by any number Of people
however small, to express their views {?
Bah Call it by some other name than
convention if you please unless you
would add to the odium already attach
ing to assemblages of that destination
and increase the general contempt for
managers and wire-pulIers. There can
be no excuse whatever for such action
on the part Of any body. A positive
request from Mr.. Tilden himself, would
no more justify it, than did the Cham
berlain demand for troops justify the
conduct Of Grant. There can be no
convention to give expression Of Virgin
ian sentiment on any subject that is not
constituted solely and entirely by men
appointed by the people. It appears to
us that We are becoming somewhat cen
traiized i'll oW state affairs, and power
had better not longer be conferred when
it will be thus abused.

The Royal land Company" has
been bidding for some additional legis-
lation authorizing subscriptions to its
capital stock by counties and corpora
tons. Mr.. Davis, of Pesersburg, one of
the most sensible members of the
House, moved to strike out this-au-
thorization clause, and in support of
his amendment he said: s'The people
OF Virginia have been swindled and
oppressed sufficiently by subscriptions
to railroad and other corporations from
which they have never had any return,
and authority should not now be grant
ed to any corporation. or quasi corpor-
atomic make any similar subscription. )"
We enterily agree with Mr.. Davis, not
outstanding the Royal Land Com
pany'' is somewhat of a Valley institu-
ton. Experience has demonstrated
that that the most cautious people are
imposed upon, and their representa-
yves should have an eye to legislating
protection for them against their own
follies. We do not know a single cor
porator Of this company but we now
lock with no little suspicion upon all
private enterprises seeking county sub
scriptions on the pretense of "develop-
ing hidden resources" IF Our people
just had hack what has been hidden
from them III this way by reputed capt.
talists flomiother states they would have
no undeveloped resources. The rule
with renegade corporators now, is to
subscribe capital stock, pay up a small
per cent s's rs0t7e, end then preaaed to
lnVejgle the taxpayers out Of bonds to
hypothecate, # they make something
il is all right, If they lose nobody suf-
ers but the taxpayers. In the mean
time few officers luxuriate in carpeted
rooms and draw good salaries. Incor-
porating mere nominal companies now
is simply legalizing POLICY Shops"

TlIden's Inauguratien Certai,l.


According to Senator Gordon's view
there can be little doubt Of Tilden's final
sEccess. In a letter to the governor Of
Georgia he says there is but one chance
against us, and that is in the very
improbable construction which would
confer upon the vice president the power
to count and declare the vote. From
his group of the different phases Of the
electoral problem we extract the follow
ing:
''If, fer instance, the primo faeie
programme which was the Republican
plan until the action of Governor Grover.
OF Oregon, is to be adopted. Mr.. Tilden
has l85 votes and is elected. If, on the
contrary, Congress is to go behind the
certificates and count the votes as given
by the people Of the States Mr.. Tilden
has 1876 without South Carolina. and of
course is elected.
IF the twenty-second Joint rule is to
be readopted, allowing either house to
object to the counting Of a State. of
course the House Of Representatives
will object to counting Louisiana
Florida, and possibly South Carolisa for
Governor Hayes. ltcannot be supposed
that the House will ever consent to have
these States counted as manipulated by
returning boards, who have usurped
powers not conferred by the laws of
those States, and expressly denied by
the courts i'll two of them. The result
On that plan would be to leave Mr..
Hayes with only loo votes. and, there
fore, not elected.
'If the bill of Senator Morton, now
before the Senate, on motion Of Senator
Edinunds, should be passed, requiring
all votes to be counted from States
which have sent up but one set Of
certificates, or the one counted upon
which both houses agree where there are
two returns, then also would the result
be Mr.. Tilden's election.
again, if that clause Of the Constitu-
ton which requires for the election Of
President a majority of all the electors
appointed be construed to mean a
majority of electors legally chosen, and
the votes Of one Or more States should
be rejected, twould leave lS4a ma ority,
and Mr.. Tilden is elected. Or if the
other construction be given to that
clause-viz: that it requires I05 votes TO
elect-that is, a majority Of all the
electors appointed, whether counted or
not-then, although there would be no
election by the people in case any State
were rejected, yet the House would
elect, and would elect Mr.. TIden."

Stonewall Jackson, at sixteen, was a
constable Of the county of Lewis, Va,
with his uncle, Cummings Jackson, as
his security. The first execution that
came intohis hands was against widow
living some twelve miles from the corut-
house. Jackson summoned a man
named Charlie Post to accompany him
and to assist him in driving away the
cattle which he proposed to levy upon.
When he arrived there he found that
the old woman had but one cow-the
principle means Of her support. So
soon as he learned this he turned to his
companion and said Charlie, L will
not levy this execution upon that poor
woman's COW as poor as I am, l would
rather work night and day to pay the debt
myself" Upon thar he left there and
stated the facts to mis- uncle. his security
in his official bond. He listened to his
narrative and then said : ''Tom, l see
you were never born to be constable,
my boy resign your Office at once, and
| will pay the execution"

News Itens.

Tilden is the Centennial President.
He carried ten of the original thirteen
States which achieved American indie
pendence.
Governor Hayes is a prudent man
he isn't going to resign the Ohio Cover
norship till he knows for certain he is
chosen President, or something else.
The Radical newspapers scent mis-
chief in the 9th Of January. conventions.
The people are about to pronounce
Judgment and the conspirators dread the
verdict.
With regard to the objections made
by Republican Senators to the twenty
second joint rule, on the ground that
| it is unconstitutional, the point is made
that it was adopted by a Republican
Congress, and three Republican Presi-
dents have been declared elected under
it. The question now is, were they
unconstitutionally elected?
Representative Hewitt, of New York,
| indicated, in conversation that the
friends Of Mr.. Tilden would insist on a
new election if the Republicans refuse to
have Mr.. Tilden declared elected
Prominent men Oh either side do not
admit that new election is yet probable
but some seem to think it is a growing
possibility. This sentiment. however,
is mainly confined to Republicans, who
see that the scheme. for fraudulently
counting in Hayes must fail.
v-truor vnr present CONSTITUTION Of
Florida, a carpet-bag creation. the Gov
ernor is vested with the powers and
authority of a dictator. He makes all
appointments, even the judicial, and
has undisputed control Of the patronage
of the State. Uunder the carpet-bag
regime this exercise Of authority has
been made to bear heavily On the peo-
pie. Now, with a Democratic Governor
and Legislature, it will be turned against
the carpet-baggers, WHO will have the
poisoned chalice presented to their own
lips.
The carpet-baggers in Louisiana have
secret political organization known as
the ''Counci Of Freedom" one of the
rules Of which makes punishable with
death" the offending member who. by
word or deed. aids the Democratic
I party. This organization is the author
OF nine-tenths of the intimidation"
practiced upon ignorant negroes in the
elections Of the State. The infamous
Wells and Kellogg are worsllipfdI
masters of it.
A New Orleans dispatch says: Tom
Anderson, of the Louisiana returning
board, says that unless the Radicals
elect him for the short United States
Senatorial term his returning board will
not make any report to the General
Assembly upon the gubernator;al vote.
and says his board will back him up.
Both Wells and he have their backs up
now, and have raised quite rumpus in
the Radical camp. They declare they
will expose the whole business if An
derson is not pledged the place he
wants, and if Wells does net get

Governor Kemper in his annual
message, recommends tax of thirty
cents gallon on whisky, and estimates
that it would produce an annual revenue
of $4,000. This large sum would be
the result of half cent glass on the
liquor drank in the State. We hope
that the Legislature may pass a law
giving effect to this Recommendation.
A tax which, if it would have any effect
upon those who consume whisky, would
be beneficial, and would increase the
revenue to the amount named, is certain
