Sherwood's Point, on the west side
of Green Lake, Wisconsin, Is widely
known. It has probably been the scene
OF more picnics and celebrations than
any similar area In that State. During
the season Of open air pleasures there
Is a constant succession OF carriages
from Berlin, Ripon. Fond du Lac and
adjoining towns, and 1t Is no unusual
thing to find dozen different coteries
distributed about the grounds. Late
in 1875 Mr.. Sherwood opened large
and we'll appointed hotel as a nucleus
Of the delightful resort, known as
Sherwood Forest" The view from
the verandas comprises a complete cir
cult Of the lake and broken shores,
while thu immediate surroundings are
especially pleasant. The drives are
tastefully laid out, care being taken In
uprooting and trimming, not to detract
from the rustic charm Of the primitive
woods. The generous patronage re-
ceived by the "Sherwood Forest" lin
its then scarcely prepared state), as a
debutante, is an assurance OF its future.
It requires no prophetic keenness Of
vision to see that Green Lake, with it's
attractive hooks, pure air and healthful
climate, is developing into resort no
whit less recherche than that other
popular inland watering place-Sara-
toga. In recognition Of the beauties,

The Presidents letter to Mr.. Garfield request
ing him TO withdraw nom the Senatorial contest
In Ohio, since he could serve the Administration
to better purpose by remaining In the House, Is
to be published Ciacinnat, Commercial.
How this narrow demagogue, malevo-
lent hater of half the Union, andCredit
Mobilier rogue can serve an honest
Administration In the Senate or House,
or anywhere else, it is impossible for us
to see. The lower orders OF plants and
animals of one geological era pass away
with that era and have no place or living
existence in that which succeeds. So 1t
is In politics. The poisonous breed Of
politicians and venomous and reptile
like demagogues OF the Garfield school
were the disgusting and crawling gen.
Grafton Of the political era Of hate and
corruption which succeeded the civil
war. There is no place for them in the
era Of pacifcation, and In Its purer at
mosphere they ought to be permitted
to writhe and squirm and die, choked
for the want of the poisonous air they
have been accustomed to breathe.

DIR MILITIA.

The DEMOCRAT, and the people Of the
State generally. join In the Sunday
Delta's expressi ons Of regret ut the res
ignation OF Gen. i. N. Ogden as Major
General Of the Louisiana Militia. Under
Gen. Ogden the Louisiana Militia has
achieved o reputation wide as the Re-
public, and OF which the State may well
feel proud. Not since the days Of t776
hasany militia won such renown as that
OF this State, Indeed, the Fourteenth OF
September and the Ninth OF January,
which were the creations OF Its arms
and It's hero'sm, are now part OF the his
tory OF the country.
We hope 10 sec the policy OF reducing
the regular army to the number OF men
necessary to repel and repress Indian
depredations on the frontier grow In
popularity and strength until 1t Is car
ried out. In the meantime every State
should organize and discipline its mill
tia, and thus revive and keep up the
military spirit OF the people, that there
may be no need OF that dangerous,
licentious and costly institution, an
army. The Adjutant Generals depart
ment should. in the future, BIO one Of the
most important de rtments Of our
State governments, that life and vlgor

SOUTHWARK TIE MARCH OF emil
GRAFTON TAKES ITS COURSE.

A colony Is In process OF organization
In Massachusetts, to settle in Burke
county, North Carolina. while the Irish
Catholic Benevolent Union OF the
United States and Canada Is actively
engaged In colonizing Irish emigrants
In the Western portion OF the State.
These are additional indications that
the tide of emigration, which has 80 long
flowed Westward. is now setting toward
the South. Two new lines OF railroad
are being constructed through the west
ern portion of the State to centre at the
town of Ashville. and good unoccupied
lands are offered in some Of the best
counties at prices ranging from fifty
cents to ten dollars per acre. -
Few parishes in Louisiana are in
ferior to the best counties in
North Carolina, while we have mil
lions OF acres OF the most productive
lands in healthy districts and under the
most genial Of climates, lying idle. In
no State of the Union can the man who
labors with his own hands, more easily
make an abundant living than in this
State.
With the same amount of labor on
the same area Of land, the farmer in
Louisiana can make probably three
times as much as in North Carolina.
And yet we find emigration flowing into
the latter State and past our gates into

TO THE PEOPLE.
In spite Of the well understood fact that
the New Orleans Pacific Railway Com
pany never had any other idea than to
build their road continuously from New
Orleans to Shreveport, on Red River,
and Marshall, Texas. and have the en-
tire line between these initial and ter
minal points under contract, some per-
sons for want Of information, and
others who are the enemies OF oil pub
lie enterprises, from motive to mis-
represent, persist In asserting and cir
culating the contrary.
Once for all, the Directors Of the New
Orleans Pacific Railway Company pro-
claim that 30 soon 40 the subscription to
their great undertaking is voted by the
people, working parties In large num-
bers will be placed both between New
Orleans and Alexandria, and Alexandria
and Shreveport and Marshall.

PRESIDENTIAL INCONSISTENCY.

President Hayes manifests no purpose
Of relieving our State OF the burden ana
Disgrace OF tho same set OF Federal Office
holders who have been prominent In
the frauds and oonspiraoies which have
kept tho State in turmoil for the last
ton years.
It is impossible to reconcile the con-
sistency Of tho action OF the President
In cooperating with the people to defeat
the last. the greatest and the culmina-
ting fraud'in the long series perpetrated
and attempted by this gang Of conspira-
tors and enemies OF our peace and
rights, and then appointing the leaders
and projectors In oil these plots to high
Offices OF honor and trust In the Federal
government.
Well may Packard and Blaine use
this inconsistency to impugn and en-
barrass the President.
Their proposition may be forcibly
stated thus: II Packard and his sup
porters were right In their attempt to
bolster up the action OF the Returning
Board, IL he was justly elected Governor
Or the State, then was II not the duty OF
Hayes to support himp But IL he was
not q rightful and honest claimant to
che place, and his whole title was found.
cd In fraud, and on most shameful
and dishonest conspiracy and the
Rrossest abuse and degradation OF public
Offices and power. In which were
deeply and principally involved The
very men President Hayes prefers for
his Federal appointees, why lend his
power against Packard and then re-
ward with patronage. power and Office
the willing tools who helped his ne
farious scheme, and stuck by him, even
after President Hayes had withdrawn
his sanction from him, and who joined In
the abuse and disparagement OF the
President for his "treachery to the
man who had elected him?"
III Governor Nichols was lawfully
elected Governor of the State, 1t was
because Packard and his followers
failed in their plot to defraud him and
the people. President Hayes virtually
recognized this fact, and yet persists in
appointing to important Federal trusts
the very men who projected, contrived
and attempted to execute this stupen-
dous fraud. He seems to be Indifferent
60 the great danger Of entrusting i'm
portant offices to men who have proved
faithless, fraudulent and dishonest to
the people, as II such appointees could
ever be trusted In any public station,
or indeed in any relation, private or
uuhlic.

Mr. Ranaall,s Election.

AZ we predicted, Mr.. Sam Randall
has been reelected Speaker Of the
House of Representatives by q very
large majority on the 6rst ballot. This
iS g very high compliment, but it is moth
ing more than be richly merited. His
record a. an answering, trustY DEM
ocrat is second 10 that of no one In
this country, and his leng devotion TO
the constitutional rights Of the South
entitled him to the support of South
ern Cougressmen. He has been Dem.
ocrat, when It cost something 10 be
one, aud now that our party can honor
him, we are glad that 1t has done so.
His election Is sn Endorsement that
he merlted for the patriotic course he
took during the exciting session OF the
last Congress. 1t is very probable that
the country has Mr.. Randall TO thank
that it was not uselessly precipitated
into great confusion aud possibly into
civil war. Since Congress settled the
Presidential muddle, 1t can now be
seen that there was no necessity
for our party to have pursued
a desperate course, as we can
very safely trust to the future
action Of the people. Wherever the
people have spoken they have given
evidence By Democratic triumphs and
large Democratic gains, that our party
made no mistake In time Of great
peril.
There is another cause for Southern
rejoicing at Mr.. Randall's reelection to
the Speskership Of the House. He is
In favor Of doing the South full justice

ments, He is warmly In favor OF the
Southern Pacific Railway, and we are
confident that be will appoint on The
Committee OF Pacific Railways men
favorable to this great enterprise. Mr..
Randall takes a statesmanlike view Of
the question. He sees that this road is
a necessity 10 the whole Union-to the
great cities of New York, Boston, aud
Philadelphia, and that It's building will
furnish work for thousands OF men
whose families are now almost starving
for bread. He is a native Of the great
State of Pennsylvania, and as she is

How Sheep RnIsIng Pays.

We need make no apology for the
frequency with which we urge this
subject upon the attention Of our read
ers. So impressed are we with the
truth that sheep raising is indispensa-
bic to successful husbandry in this sec.
ton Of the South, that we think 1t can
not be too often presented to the con-
sideration of our farmers. To say moth.
ing OF the excellence and cheapness
of the food which they supply, sheep
will do more than anything else, 10 re-
claim and render profitable, the ex.
hausted lands of the South. The ad.
vantages of sheep husbandry are thus
summed up by the American Cultiva-
tor: No animal on the farm give such
quick returns or so large profits. The
same food, whether in hay, grain or
roots, will produce one.third more
mutton than beef. No meat com.
mands a higher price than the best NUT
ton; none Is more nutritious, none Is
more economical TO the consumer, since
In cooking It shrinks one quarter less
than beef To produce the best results
the Cotswold must be crossed with the
Meriuo. Combing wool, premium
mutton and early lambs are three essen.
tials for profit. This cross necessitstes
better breed, which in Its turn demands
better culture, and the first supplies the
latter with better manure. Thirty.six
pounds Of sheep manure equals In
value for grass lands hundred pounds
OF COW manure, the former being near
ly equal in nitrogen and superior in
phosphates to guano or hen manure.
Many of our abandoned lands have
little market value even for pasture
laud, since they are grown up 10 weeds.
There are, however one hundred aud
forty varieties OF weeds that sheep will
eat and thrive on, and they are the on.
ly animal that destroy the vitality of
all the seed they eat. With a slight
addition of better food, sheep will not
only improve on much of our aban.
doned land, but would become import
ant factors in restoring lost productive.
ness. European sgriculturists includ-
ing such eminent authorities as An
derson, Sprengel, Colman, Mechi and
Ter, admit that an acre of land fed, and
occupied by one thousand sheep, is
capable of supporting one extra sheep
for each day 90 occupied, that four
sheep per year will feed and highly
manure an acre of land; that one hun.
dred sheep in fifteen days would 70
manure an acre OF land as 10 carry il

ON the invitation OF Col. Martin Keary,
large party OF leading citizens took trip
up to Young's Point, yesterday afternoon,
on the ierry.boat, to look at the river, in
view Of = proposition which Colonel Keary
intends making to the city for the restOra-
tion OF our water front. He proposes 10
build dy kes, or jettles, extending from the
Louisiana shore, beginning the Arst one
ct q point about 20 feet below Grants ca.
nal, and running 1t diaZ0nally out into the
river 400 yards; the second will be some
dlstaHc below, and have length Of 800
yards; the third, still llOwer down 900 yards
long. By this means II 10 thought the cur.
rent will be thrown up towards the city
and above the Elevator. Col. Keary pur.
poses 10 commence work al once, and II
the jettIes don't prove to be . success,
says he will not charge cent for his Ia.
bors. His motto ls ''nO cure, no pay,'
which lie certainly liberal, and should he
succeed the dykes will stand for all time as
monuments Of his energy and enterprise
We regret that the pressure on our space
this morning prevents us from going int
details, but all the excurslOnists wert
highly pleased with the proposition ant
80 expressed themselves.
