the Committee reported the fol

adopted;
Whereas, it is tight and proper
upon all occasions, and under al

their rulers; and,
Whereas, the people Of the

a change in the head Of the Gov

Whereas, in the unsettled and
disturbed state of the public
mind, the whole people, without
any regard to political parties,
watch and weigh every utterance
and word OF the newly inaugara-
ted President touching his policy
upon great leading questions, al
fecting either the whole or any

Nashville, Tenn, and vicinity,

Of President Hayes, do most
heartily and unequivocally APP

The special to the New York
Herald says the following are
the intentions of Postmaster
General Key: 1t is his intention
in the administration of his office
to do exactly what President
Hayes will require him to do in
the matter of appointments, and
hat he will so manage the affairs
Of his department as that every
act shall be guided by respect for
a broad national policy in accord
ance with the policy of the Pres
ident.
He alscintends making a tour
through the South, and will make
these statements to the Southern
people, with a view of creating
an era of good feeling, and thus
endeavor to reestablish a better
understanding and more friendly
relations between the two sec
tons. He speaks quite enthusi-
astically and hopefully upon
these points and intends to use
every effort in his power to bring
about these desired results.

meeting in this city to consider
the adjustment Of Southern State

the committee recently appoint

has decided that the following
plan would be an equitable one
for adjusting the debt Of that
State: After adding all the ar

The New Mistress Ofthe White
House,

A special to the Chicago Times,
says Of Mrs. Hayes, whatever
opinions may be held as to her
husbands ability, there is nc
Question Of the superior worth OF
our new Presidents wife. Mrs.
Hayes is a woman of strong nat
uraI powers Of mind, and to this
She has added the graces of cul-
ture. She is a woman to whom
aAectation is a total stranger.
For years she has been an active
worker in various benevolent
and charitable enterprises, and
in this, as in everything else she
has dSne, her course has been
marked BY a wise discretion.
Mrs. Hayes will bring none of
Che vices of fashion into our re
publican court. Her influence
there will be decidedly ola CON
s~ervative character. She has
been courageous enough, for in
Stance, duYing AL these days OF
trizzes and pulis and frowzyhead-
edness into which ninety nine
hundredths of the women have
run, to maintain the simple style
which she adopted years ago for
dressing her jet black hair. 1t is
placed smoothly and neatly well
down on the sides Of her face,
then passed over the ears, where
Il finger puff" is the only effort at
ornament. This will be the style
she will follow at the White
House. But if her hair. is worn
plain it does nottollOw that she
is dull in society. On the contra
ry, lrer intelligent features are
the home Of grace and good sense,
and in conversations she has few
superiors.
Everybody who thought Of the
matter-that is, every woman
must have sympathised with Mrs.
Hayes during the legthened un-
certainty which has just closed.
Every woman knows that certain
preparations were necessary for
the Inauguration; yet how awk-
wark was it for Mrs. Hayes to see
about ordering ar inaugural outfit
for an event which might never
happen. Her husband could east
~ digest Il Southern policy, and
construct a Cabinet, whether
either were to he called into be
ing ornot, but it was exceeding
Nv disagreeable to her to think Of
style or to order the dresses for
her White House life.
Like a sensible woman, she
waited until the last moment, and
after Florida and Louisiana had
been counted for Hayes, she
quietly came to Cincinnati and
ordered u modest outfit, just
enough to begin housekeeping,
as it we're, and had the work com
ploted barely in time to get to
Columbus before she started for
Washington. EXtrayaganS esti-
mates have been placed ON the
value of these purchases, but it
may be trulhrully said that the
entire bill can be paid by Presi-
dent Hayes out Of his first weeks
salary. and still leave him enough
"a i've on. The entire outfit
would not cost over $500

The Democrats in the Illinois
Legislature thought they had
done.a great ching in electing
Judge Davis to the Senate to sue
ceed Logan. 1T turns out how.
ever they got bit in their man.
The Washington Republican says.
Judge David Davis does not turn
out to be iirst-class Investment
for the Democratic party. He
gave assurances to the Republi.
can caucus at Washington that
he was not a Democrat; that.
while he should maintain his in
dependence, he shall vote with
the Republicans, and will support
the administration Of President
Hayes. Explanation was so clear
that in making up the Senate
Committees he was selected as a
Republican, and appointed as
such to the Judiciary and anoth-
er committee. The Democratic
causus seems to have been seri-
ously disgruntIed by this action OF
Judge Davis, but We do not un-
derStanA why. Judge Davis was
nevera Democrat, nor did he ever
profess to- be. His name was
used at Cincinnati and st. Louis
as a candidate for the Democrat
ic nomination without any author
ity from him that he was a Dom
ocrat. That he is and will be an
independent and fearless Senator
we have no doubt. He will vote
on all questions as his judgement
may direct; but being an anti
slavery nlan all his life, and new
er having acted with the Demo
cratic party, he will naturally
vote with the Republicans, ex-
cept on such questions of minor
consequence as his judgement
may incline him to vote ether
wise.

body, but also formidable and danger
Gus diseases that have baGled the best
Of human skill. While they produce

time, the safest and best physic for

they grippe much less Than the common
purgativos, and never give pain when
the bowels are not inll0mcd. They
reach the vital fountains Of the blood,
and strengthen the system by freeing

Ashes i'm Agriculture.

Questions are very often asked
whether ashes are good for such
and such grain or land. They are
good for all kinds of land. The
.bdiiiculty is, there are not enough
ashes to use. Their ingredients
are the necessary constituents Of
plant and soil. | have applied
them and seen them applied in
various quantities, FROM a few
| bushels to one hundred per acre,
and the benefit seemed to keep
pace with the quantity. Besides,
this benefit is lasting, and in the
ratio Of the amount applied. They
are excellent, therefore, to apply
where it is desired to dispense
the trouble of frequent applica-
ton Of manure, as on lands and
door-yards, and upon pasture
where stable manure will not do.
They are also more required by
some plants more than others; and
some sells need them more than
others. New land, for instance,
has a good supply. Old soils es
pecially those Of clay, are most
benefited, and, if holding con
siderable carbonaceous mate
rails like sod and vegetable re-
fuse, all the better.
Ashes are a mineral, and want
vegetable matter TO act upon
1them; hence they are a particu.
lar benefit upon grass lands and
fields where clover has been
grown, and are superior upon
cloveritsel:. 1t may be said they
afford a special manure for the
clovers as we'll as notably for po-
tatoes and for root crops in gen.
eral. For wheat they afford an
excellent manure, strengthening
and Frightening the straw, as is
seen in recent forest clearings,
where ashes are a large ingredi-
.ent in the soil. They may abc
drilled in or sOwn broadcast, and
to almost any amount. A few
bushels per acre of hard wood
ashes drilled in ~ clay loan, well
charged with rotted vegetable
manure, will have a marked eff
feet, and more, will have Il COM
mensurate benefit. Beech is a
common wood for fuel, and this
largely affords an excellent ash,
very rich in potash, with a good
proportion Of phosphoric acid,
AS to the value per busbel Of
ashes, this must be determined,
as in the case with any manure,
by the price Of the product
grown, which varies in different
localities, according to the mar
ket. 1t is hard to arrive at the
accurate measure Of the value of
the ashes, as their properties
mainly are slow Of action, and
lie for years unused in the soil,
and in the more leachy soils
some Of their properties are lost;
this also is common with other
manures, Under the most favor
ably market conditions and re-
quirements Of the soil, good,
clean wood ashes ought to be
worth forty to fifty cents per bu-
shell. Others again, from some Of
the light woods, are not worth
half Of that. But let all be used
that can be saved, and never re-
.iect leachcd ashes, which is near
ly as good as the unleached.-F
