In 10Th theory and practice it is too
often the case that lime is considered to
dc a manure in the true intent and
meaning of the term, and, except in a
Jew special cases, the farmer who adopts
Inc theory will, in the end, suffer for IL.
1t Is true that lime, to a limited extent.
enters directly into the composition of
The crop, and 10 this extent IL IL a ma.
nure, but nearly all soils contain enough
lime to supply the wants of an immense
number OF crops. Such being the case.
we must look TO some other mode of ac.
ton to accomplish the benefits of its an.
piicatlon. Apart from this slight ma
mural action, and a limited mechanical
action, there is no doubt that the main
peneht is clearly traceable to its chemi.
ca action in the constituents OF the soil:
u~eieterlous or inert compounds are de-
stroyed, and valuable constituents re-

New ORLEANS, October 6, 1877.
MY DEAR SIR-In reply to your
letter inquiring as to the validity and
solidity Of the State securities known
as State consols, have to say that
the funding act which was passed
under the Republican administration
Of the State, and made . part Of the

Of, has stood the test Of the severest
examination and has proved one Of
the most succcssful and complete
acts which was ever enacted
in any Of the States. Its guarantees
aro Of the strongest and most inn
character. 10!
The old debt of the State, after
being subjected to a thorough sitting
Of MI doubtful claims and securities,
being referred to the courts and re-
gularly ailjudicated upon, has been
reduced to the sum of twelve mill
