The editor OF the Decatur Republican does
not appear to be willing to abide by his own
proposition to let the several matters connected
with his purchase OF that paper, and his course
subsequent thereto, drop. Neither does he
seem willing to make frank and categorical re-
plies to the several matters therein charged,
but seeks 10 break their force by species Of
ilimsy pettirogsing, rs follows:
Ii tho editor OF the NoRIHERNER can name
anyone that we asked for money to help us buy
this paper, we ask him to do 30. III he knows
OF any letter from Senator Ferry to us, reflect
-sng IN any manner upon us, politically or per-
sonallY. wo ask him to bring 1t to light. We
assert distinctly that bis insnuations are false.
Let him face the music and give us facts. IL
he Sails TO do this. let him wear the brand or
cowardy slanderer.
As TO the matter OF soliciting money. that, OF
COURSE was done by proxy, Buff 8 agent went
out and gathered up hat-ful Of greenbacks.
Buff. himself, talked freely with some parties
about tho matter, and made bitter complaints
against certain prominent politicians because
they did not shell out" as he expected them
TO 10 IS represented TO have said to
prominent person here that Kalamazoo man
agreed Ca pay fifty dollars, but had only come
down with forty. Also that Niles man agreed
60 coma down handsomely, but had backed out
and now would not give cent. That the post
master at Dowagiac did give twenty tive dollars
etc AS 10 the Ferry letter, We have 1t thai
Buff procured il TO be written, and suggested
the ,eno, OF It. OF course the reply came to
Che writer o. the letter to the Senator. AS &c
the contents OF that reply, we have 1t from
man who read it himself or heard 1t read.
Buff. your pettifogging is too thin. 1t won
go down Why don't you meet those charges
e1uaseiy. and make Straightforward, manly an
swersi Until you deal with them as promptly
and ms truthfully as we did with yours YOU
talk about ''slspderers" will go for nothing.

Speaking OF the proposition to increase the
salary OF tue University Librarian from 81, 500
60 $1,000, right in the face OF heavy defcien-
cy. tho Adrian Press says: I'VE cannot find
words too strong to express our condemnation
of 'this proceeding, and are ashamed that DIR.
Rynd. OF this city, countenanced the swindle.
The salary was not only large enough, but too
large, aud instead OF its being increased $500,
at -ebould have been reduced that amount. In
fact, il would have been more in consonance
with iuetlce to have been fixed at 81 900 than
at 81 800 The fact is, these are not the times
for',ucrcasing salaries, and especially unimpor'
tant, irresponsible, minor positions. 1t requires
nopartculsr amount of tact or talent to be Q
libiaran-but simply ordinary clerical capacity
The Board could find hundreds OF worthy, com
petent persons FOR the position at $1,000 Q
yeae" The Press is unusually severe on ex
Regeut MCGOWAN in this connection.

Judge Halves has been lobbying round the

Courier
We have enjoyed Judge HAYES acquaintance
for n period Of twenty years, and have been on
terms OF friendly intimacy with him for con-
eiJerab,e portion Of all that time which has az
fordsd us good opportunity to Judge OF his
mentaI and legal qualifications. The above is
the first time We have ever heard or seen any
animation that the Judge was not fair aver
age or the best class Of lawyers, both as to his
tega, and literary requirements as we'll as his
mental qualities.
tWo are opposed to the increase OF salaries on
principle, believing that the present salary is a
fair equivalent for the services Of good man
tho average OF the better portion OF the legal
profession.
We believe Judge Halves to be a lawyer who
will not suffer by comparison with any members
of tho profession IN this judicial circuit. There
may be one or two more brilliant in some par
ticular direction, but such an one will not make
agood Judge, for the reason that he lacks the
love, beadedness" found in Judge Halves, and
all OF his class.
While we believe the present salaries OF the
circuit judges to be fair equivalent for the
services rendered We also believe that there
arc great many salaries that are too hugh, and
should be reduced. There are but few Official
positions where the responsibilities are greater
than corresponding vacations in private life,
yst there IL 30 great disparity Of compensa-
-tion that the public place Is sought for with
great evldity. and many questionable means
arc resorted to to obtain the one which would

Romantic Marriage.

The father. of the late Viscount Ash
brook, when very young, and residing
with his family in the Queens County,
was struck with the beauty Of an Irish
peasant girl named Elizabeth Ridge,
who was in the habit ofpunting a ferry
boat across q stream in the vicinity of
Castle DurrOw. The love-sick youth
took every opportunity Of enjoying the
society of his beloved water nymph,
but carefully concealed from his
parents the impression she had made
upon his bosom. He then held an en-
signs commission in some regiment
which was quartered near the castle ;
but he was too young to think of mat
rimony, nor was the object of his affec-
ton either old enough or sufficiently
educated to become his wife. She had
been reared among the Irish peasants
had been unused TO shoes and stockings
was scarcely acquainted with the Eng
fish language, and was uniformed in
matters of the world; but the young
ensign fancied that, in spite Of these
disadvantages, he could perceive an APP
titude of mind, and s|oundness of intel
ltCls ulllNth WIN SlCdJ Nhlihpi'ioSo vi
temper, In addition to her personal per-
fections. Under these circumstances
he conceived the romantic idea Of sub
hitting her to the superintendent OF
some respectable female, capable OF
rendering her, through the influence OF
education, an associate suitable to his
wishes and to his rank. The lovely
ferry-girl was according placed under
the tuition of a lady, at whose house
Captain Flower occasionally visited hel
and where he marked from time tC
time, with all the enthusiasm of a TO.
mantle lover, her progress in various
polite accomplishments. Elizabeth
Ridge remained in this situation about
three years, when the efllux of time, a.
well NJ some domestic occurrences, Ell.
abled Captain Flower to reap the re.
ward of his consistency and honorable
conduct by n matrimonial union. AnC
the blushing daughter of the Emerald
Isle became ultimately the Countess
Ashbrook and lady of the castle be.
meath whose walls her early charm,
had, like the rays of the rising sun
beamed for q time unnoticed only Il
become more effulgent and more ad.
mired. by the Viscount she had sew.

Peanuts-Where and How They Grow-The
Extent of Their Production.

Peanuts, or, as they are popularity
known in the South, grOund-nuts or
goubers, grow in the ground, OF the
roots of the plant, exactly like potatoes.
The stalk and leaves of the plant some
what resemble clover, and to get the
nuts when ripe the plants are pulled out
of the ground, the nuts adhering firmly
to the roots. The geatest trouble with
the ground nuts is in picking them,
which has to be done by hand, 40 mach
inc having yet been invented to do the
work, though it would seem If such "A
machine, in the shape Of a coarse comb,
might be easily invented. But labor is
cheap in the place where they are
grown, which are in the light, sandy
soils of Tennessee, Virginia, and North
Carolina in this country. Peanuts are
also largely grown in Africa, India,
Brazil, and other places. The best are
raised In tn" valley of the River Gam
bia, in Africa, and yield large quantities
of oil. This product when properly
produced, is estimated equal to olive
oil; but it is also used in wooden manu-
| features, in soap making, in lamps, and
| for %lubricating machinery. Last year
the crop in the United States was as
follows: Tennessee, 1886, 900 bushels {;
Virginia $50, 900; North Carolina,
100000. The imports from Africa last
wear were Si6,0 900 bushels, of which
Boston imported IS, 200 and New York
$4,000. The average of the new crop
this year is somewhat larger than that
of last year, and the yield promises well,
the nut being generally better filled and
matured than for the past two years and
of finer quality. The past year was
marked by fewer changes than any for
mer one (; by n moderate but steady con-
sumptive demand by an absence of
speculation, and by the small proportion
of choice white nuts. Tennessee pea
nuts are put up in burlap bags of four
or five bushels capacity, and are sold by
the pound, the grades being respect
lively inferior, prime, choice, and fancy.
The crop year begins October !, and
ends September 30 of the ensuing year.
The new crop will come forward under
very favorable auspices. The previous
crop having been well sold up, stocks
are light In the hands Of commission
! merchants and dealers.
