PAOKARDs' ADDRESS,
STATE OF LOUISIANA,
EXECUTIVE DEPARTMENT.
New ORLEANS. La, April rs, 1877. !

NEW ORLEANS. La, April %, 1877.
To the Republicans Of Louisiana:
On this day, the fifteenth annivers
airy Of the surrender of New Orleans
to the forces of the United States, il
becomes my duty to announce to yoJ
that the aid and countenance OF the
! National Government has been with
drawn from the Republicans of Louis
lana, and that a Government revolu
tionary in form is practically on the
point Of usurping the control of affairs
in this State. | recall the circumstan
ces of the last electoral campaign only
to thank. you for the fidelity to principle
which you then displayed. The Re
publican party, as you know, entered
than ever before. 1t had enlisted I'M
der it's banner an influential class OF
natlve-born citizens of old Wing ante
cedents, who, to their honor be it said
|still remain faithful to the principles
they espoused and the Government
they supported. twas further streng-
thened by the absence from the State
of the opposition of that elementwhose
previous adherence to the party had
brought it into disrepute. These
causes combined to bring about the
remarkable success achieved by the
Republican party in all the doubtful
parishes, with one exception, even
where the white population preponder-
ates, and which gave us q majority in
the Legislature. Except where organ
lied violence prevailed, our State ticket
carried every Republican parish, and
also number of parishes which, in
the last Legislature, were represented
by Democratic members.
| briefly. summarize the historical
events that have since occurred. The
General Assembly met on 1st of Jan
uary last; organized with full legal
quorum in both houses: passed laws,
which were approved by the then
Executive Of the State, and on the cd
OF January last canvassed and declared
the vote for Governor. At this time
the nation was agitated by doubt as to
the result of the Presidential election,
with the expectation that Samuel j.
Tilden might possibly become Presi-
dent Of the United States, and with no
hope of success otherwise, my opponent
in the late campaign established a moot
Legislature, and went through the
form OF an inauguration, in order that
there might be a semblance of Gov
eminent, which Mr.. Tilden. if inaugur-
ated, could possibly galvanize into
vitality.
In the few days that followed, Gen
eral Nichols and his adherents were
encouraged by the unexpected refusal
of President Grant to recognize the
State Government. or to respond to the
constitutional call of the Legislature,
though he questioned the legality of
neither.
On the 9th of January, | had scarcely
taken my seat in the Executive chair.

Obituary..

Col. 5. b. Harris, at one time editor Of
the ohio Fdinler, and also of the Rural
Ns~ Yorker, and for many years known
in connection with different agricultural
papers in the country, died suddenly at
his residence in Hudson, O., on Thursday
morning, April 26.h, in the sixty-si1th
year Of his age, lie was apparently in
usual health up to the evening before his
death. He arose at four O'Clock, looked
out Of the window, and then Ing down
again. About five o'clock his wife spoke
to him, and receiving no reply, laid her
hand upon his face and found him dead.
The Colonel's life was an active, energetic
one, and he leaves behind an extensive
circle Of friends and acquaintance who
will remember him as an intelligent man.

PLAsTER.-A writer in the Michigan
Farmer says:
We think it was Prof. kedze who re.
Gently made the statement that plaster In,
a peculiar disinles rating influence oh the
sllicates of the soil, thus setting free potash
and magnesia for the use Of the plant. We
have often heard the declaration made that
plaster was not a fertilizer by itself. But
this must be Il mistake, because plaster is
composed of sulphur, lime and water.
Now sulpher and lime are fertilizers. more

stalk of corn than for the seed of corn.
his for the reason that some plants re-

But here Is one virtue of plaster, the bene-
nj derived from its sulphur and lime.
This other benefit, to which Prof. Kedzie
refers, we thirk is worthy of more at,en-
ton than II receives. He declares there is
no doubt that by drilling Of plaster we
not only afford the plant supply of sui
phur and lime, but we also afford it the
means OF obtaining from the soil large
supplies OF potash and magnesia. So that
we get by the use of plaster four most val
liable and essential constituents Of plant
growth and plant food, viz: snlpbur.
lime, potash and magnesia. When we
consider the value of potash in the growth
oil plants, we must confess that this disin.
tegrating influence of plaster-this I'M
locking of the soils one of its most
valuable properties. 1t is Just as well to
set the potash free, that is in the. soil, as TO
apply it outwardly. Plaster is the agent
to do this. Now is the time to apply It.

In reply to correspondent, Mr.. c.
Horace Hubbard writes to the Jtrmout
Farmer about potato planting as follows;
My own custom Is to select for seed
such potatoes as l desire TO raise. an! eat
them into three to six pieces. according to
size and numbr Of eyes; and put enc
piece in HILL with 4 handful If plaster
and ashes; hills twenty ono inches apart
and rows f1rly-two inches. II is nv
opinion that farm crops may be improved
IN quality and quantity to an incredible
degree by the selection Of good seed of de-
sirable varieties. think this has be- n
demonstrated beyond he possibility Of
contradiction The kind ana quality Of
seed is probably Of quite as much import
ance as the variety. am not however
certain that the selection Of large potatoes
for seed Is rs important as the choice Oh
large kernels Of wheat for that purpose.
The fact that the potatoes We plant are n t
seeds, but rather root cuttings or tubers
Che seed Of the potato being found in thu
ball,) may have some influence upon this
question, and may not Il may be that
small potatoes have power to produce
large and vigorous tops and tlbers equal
TO those Of larger ones, except in one re-
spect. The small potato has usually "a
lesser bulk in proportion to ewes than
large ones, and consequently furnishes a
smaller portion Of food for lie su,tcnance
Of the young plant while it is throwing
out fbrous roots and establishing itself in
the soil The young plant may, and
probably does, make a weaker start for
his reason, from small potatoes used as
seed.
You will say have thrown very little
light on the question. But have told all |
know about it, except that my own stock

The hollow in the bone extends down
nto the frontal bone of the skull and is
simply an air cavity which extends from
The nostrils up through the head and into
the horns.
After reading this, how any one can as
sert that it was probably powder horns s.
On which the Doctor made his observa-
tiors, passes our comprehension.
The logic which asserts that the horn
must be solid. because it fills the dremal
layer or powder horn" would asert that
a mans head must be solid. if the scalp
we're taken of and the skull found to fill
it. Why bless the man, did he never see
