wiaced that blowing in green crops with
-Guch as clover and others-is the most
economical and speediest means that

spills. Yet, it can be proftably done by
the use of sheep-in pasturing even.

How A Darkey caught a turtle

A few days ago q negro man was fish
ing in the Pataula Greek, Georgia, when
he hung a huge turtle in the mouth
with small perch hook. He manage
to raise the turtles head partly out of
the water, and held him in that position
with his mouth open until several gai~
Ions OF water had run down his throat.
The turtle had dropped It's head oyer to
one side, and the negro, thinking ne had
drowned it, jumped into the creek. He
caught the turtle by the tail, put 1t b.
tween his teeth, aud held on to 1t wiiiie
he cut slit n two OF its teet Tor hand
but found It a severs struggle, SIS the
turtle would hold to roots and branches
of trees in the creek. The negro nnaiiy
got the turtle on its bsck and pushed II
out of the water. The turtle weighed
aeventyeseven pounds, and haa 2 heaa

tween the two parties why the
Democrats seem to have the better
chance. First, consider Tao South.
III II few Of the Southern States
there WAS still Republican Or8ani-
zatlon two years ago, and several
Republican, members were elected
to Congress. The Republicans
will lose Ill or most these, anl it is
difficult to SEQ where they are to
gain q member in all the Southern
States. Consider California Three
Of the four present members from
that State are Republicans; but
owing to the Communist uphctval
they are likely to be replaced by
Kearncyitcs. Consider Indiana,
where the loss Of Senator Morton
must greatly weaken the party In
New York the Republicans arc more
likely to lose than to gain members
because their influence will be
chiefly expended in choosing mem
bcrs Of tho Assembly with o view
to re>elcct Senator Conkling. In
Ohio, Mr. Hayes own State, his
party cannot expect to bc SO strong
as it was two years ago in the first
flush Of his popularity after his
nomination for the Presidency.
Explore where we will, we can dis
cover no prospect of II recovery Of
the House Of Representative by
the Republican party.

POLITICAL NOTES.

Augusta (Ga.) Ehroniclc Dom.) :
'Kellogg's scat in the Senate will
bo rather insecure on the 4th Of
March next"
The Republican faction III Oregon
which has a spite against Senator
Mitchell is responsible for the clcc-
ton Of d Democratic Legislature,
and the consequent loss Of IL ,alua-,
bic vote in the next Congress. IT. is
tho old fable Of the faci,,i quarrel.
Cincinnati Commercial (Ind.) !:
"This country does not stand in the
nccd Of military government, and if
it did, Republicanism might be
stamped out with more dcccncy
than by the replacement Of Grant in
tho Office that he always affected to
despise and never honored."
Tho Cincinnati Commercial (Ind)
says: 1T is perfectly true that
President Hayes announced an in
flexible deter mination not to stand
for second torn. 1t has oftcn.hap-
pened, however, that stanccs
al stronger than resolution in such
matters. Certainly he has stronger
reasons for revising his original do
termination than any other incum-
bent Of the office ever had"
The Augusta Chronic1e Dcm.) }

Democratic candidates for Congress
III Georgia those of Hartridgo in the
first district, Smith in the second,
Cook in tho third, Crawford or
Harris in the fourth, Hill in the
fifth, Blount i'll the sixth, Brown in
the seventh, Stephens or Gibson in

the ninth. The Chroniclc fears the
possible strength of tho indcpend-
ent movement, as it will draw the
entire Republican vote and much Of
the Democratic.
Atlanta Constitution Dem.) :
"Mr. Stephens may be, as he claims
to be, a Democrat in Theory, but at

THE NORTHERN papers are reviv-
ing the story Of the assassination of
Lincoln. The theory Of many of
Booths friends is that while he was
in n conspiracy to abduct Mr..
Lincoln and bring him across the
line, the idea Of assassination never
entered his head until the day tho
crime was perpetrated What
good can be accomplished by a
re-opening Of the old story docs
not appear. It is surmised that
a new play founded on this incident
will soon bo produced, and that
this is the way of advertising it.

The Next Congress.

Considering that tho Radicals
assert that the salvation of tho
nation depends on a Republican
House of Representatives in Wash
ington next year, the outlook for
u realization of their hopes is not
promising. Tho organs puff and
blow great deal, but tho result is
encouraging Oregon gave them
very black eye, and they will
receive several moro bruises when
the campaign fairly opens. The
Now York Herald, which is about
the nearest approach to an i'm
partial paper in the United States,
thus sums up tho Radical case
When the nominations have been
made and the canvass is fairly
opened it will be generally felt that
the Congressional elections this
year ore of unusual Importance.
They will determine the question
whether the government is to be
substantially under Democratic
control after tho 4th of March. A
Democratic majority in the Senate
after that date is already assured,
and if the party should hold it's
present control of the House the
Republican Executive will be pow
erless: A Congress Democratic in
both branches has not existed since
1860, and it will be quite novel
thing, after the lapse of nineteen
most eventful years, to find that
body again in the hands Of the
Democrats, with the Republicans
powerless except in the very few
measures which President Hayos
may think it his duty to veto.
We can hardly SEQ a possibility
Of the Republicans recovering the
House of Representatives which
they lost in the elections of 1874.
The whole drift of political ten
denotes is against them. The
President they elected two years
ago has not proved popular even in
his own party, and although the
quarrel is understood to have been
hushed the Republicans can feel no
enthusiasm for chief whom their
organs have been accustomed to
belittle and deride. The people at
large favor economy; and most of
the extravagant Legislation of the
late session was the work of the
Republican Senate, which repressed
the frugal tendencies of the Demo-
cratic House. The Potter Investi-
CATION may not have much effect;
but it's effect, SO far as it has any,
will not be for. the advantage Of
the Republican party.
There are reasons quite apart
from the political Issues raised be-

The Discharge of Mabel Whitman by
the Court.

Miss MABEL WHITMAN, Boston girl who
had been accused OF the murder OF hor own
mother, by poison, was discharged from
custody, after the evidence against her had
all been put in, BY order Of Judge WARREN.
We recall attention 10 the fact for tho pur-
pose OF commanding the conduct of the
learned Judge ~ the premises. There was
no sufficient evidence against the accused
to justify u belief in her guilt. The offence
with which she was charged was most un-
natural and IL now secms TO have been n
cruel wrong to arrest her and to prefer the
charge No wonder the girl swooncd when
her acqulttal was made known to her.
From the swoon sho soon recovered. But
when will she recover from the effects -oi
having such a terrible accusation made
against her, and being put upon trial? Life
is not long enough.
The Judge has done what lay in his power
TO set tho accused right before the com
munity; but IL is beyond human power "a
remove the sorrow from her mind.
This case ought TO serve as a warning
against preforring grave charges against
any one except upon cv'd"u o clearly war
rantug them. Acquittal docs not always
entirely remedy the injury OF an unjust ac-
cusatiOQ,
