No party opposing them can achieve victory
And this will, unless Mr.. Hayes should trans

The Means Grass.
Farmers in York county, on whose
lands the "Means" grass grows, almost invs'
riably deprecate its presence, and so far from
cultivsting and utilizing it, only endesvor to
extirpate it as useless species of vegetation.
So deep.seated is the prejudice against the
grass, that kind word for it is seldom heard.
A correspondent of the Augusta Chronicle,
however, after detailing the circumstance OF
its introduction, many years ago, on the old
Hampton place near Columbia. says:
"Not much came of this, because in those
days very little attention was paid to the cul.
ture of the grasses Two or three years ago,
Mr.. w. G. Childs, of Columbia, purchased
the plantation mentioned, and it at once oc-
Cured to him to turn to profitable account
this grass, which, to others, had proved an
immeasurable source of annoyance. Result :
Last year he harvested and sold two hundred
tons this year he has cut it FIVE times and
disposed of three hundred and fifty tons of
hay, at 81 per cwt. This grass is more nutri-
tious than timothy, and is. practically inextir'
pable.
Extreme Republican Views.
- The following extracts from the Wash
ington Republican, of Saturday, indicate the
feeling that animates the wing of the Radical
party of which that paper is the organ. In
an article on the "Duty of the Senate" among
other bitter things, the Republican says:
1--WE should regard it as palpable derelic.
ton of duty on their part, if they should
yield their approval to a proscriptive line of
policy that removes capable and honest Re.
publicans from Office and places in their stead
the enemies of Republication or Republicans
who are not their peers in any regard"
In separate paragraph, the same paper
further remarks:
"The fact has leaked out that Fitzsim.
mons, the Democrat who has been appointed
Marshal of Georgia, is q nephew Of Wade
Hampton, and that bis appointment was
asked for by the South Carolina Governor.
Perhaps Mr.. Hampton will be called upon to
suggest name for the English mission"
Galvanizing q Corpse.
- If the Washington correspondence OF
the New York World may be relied upon,
President Hayes proposes to apply the GAL
vauic battery for the resuscitation of the Re-
publican party in South Carolina. They do
say that it was he, with bis bow and arrow,
that killed the party, and having shown bis
ability to kill, be now proposes to show to
the country what he can do in the way of
making alive. The correspondent says:
It is said that the President has been in
conference with certain South Carolina Re.
publicans relative to the reorganization of
the Republican party of that State upon an
honest basis. He is of the opinion that some
such man as ex-C Congressman Simeon Corley,
of Lexington, would be able to lead the par
ty to victory next year, provided the old To-
cal corrupt politicians would take back seats.

The Liberia Movement in North Carolina.
- The petition of the colored people Of
North Carolina, asking Congressional aid to
enable them to emigrate to Liberia, sets forth
that they are descendants of African slaves
brought to this country against their will /;
for two hundred years their race have given
their labor, especially in raising cotton, to in
crease the wealth Of every section of the
United States. and in asking aid for the pur-
pose of emigrating, they ask it not as char
ity, but as debt. The petitioners confident
" ask that the sum of 500 be granted to
each emigrant. The reasons given for de-
string to emigrate are two. as follows:
"The experience of twelve years since our
emancipation shows that the number of Ia.
borers in this country increases more rapidly
than that of employers; and that the compe-
tition of white labor will leave many of US
unemployed. Besides, the experience Of
more than one hundred years in the Northern
States shows that in this competition the color.
ed people cannot expect to occupy any but
subordinate positions, either as laborers or as
citizens. The main reason urged why We
should remain here is, that our labor and our
votes are needed in this country a suggestion
that our interests should in the future, as in
the past, be made subordinate to the interests
of the white people"
The petition was presented by Mr.. Gar
field, of Ohio, and referred to the committee
on education and labor.
