HE Stale Code.
StarkpiELe Times,

The present Code of Mississippi being the
Code of '7I-should receive the early atten
ton of the Legislature which will soon
convene at jackson, for the purpose of Civ
ing it a thorough revision and subiecting
it to much needed simplfication Per-
spicuity and simplicity are essential to a
written Code of laws, and if these necessary
features are not observed in the framing Of
laws inevitable difficulty and confusion will
ensue. a14H+ -tt' 5s-a@
The condition of the present Code Of Mis-
sissippi is somewhat peculiar. THE Radical
party ruled the State for years and of course
monopolized the Iaw-making function till a
few years ago when the Democratic Conser-
vative party gained the ascendancy and Sc
cured control of the Sfate Government.
Is And then the new Legislature proceeded
at once to make necessary new laws and to
repeal and amend numerous existing ones.
As a necessary result, the State Code is en-.
numbered with repeats and am endments to
an extent that occasions vast amount of
perplexity, and confusion. And as statutes
or parts OF statutes can-be repealed indi-
rectly ard by implication as well as by d.
rect provision, it follows that the Judicial
officers of the State, especially Justices of
the Peace, will sometimes give confused
ana contradictory interpretations of the
law. :.-,xT 1hlssrdaf CO Ee71A5 !
Let the Code be carefully revised and
simplified. acg '.sf.s,,.-s..r II. !

MuIchinS and Moisture.


1t is a well-known fact that the mulch.
ing of land will induce the growth OF
roots to the surface. So, when the soil
is covered with a fiat stone, or where a
large boulder occurs at the surface, il
will induce the formation of a network OF
roots about itself when embedded in the
the soil. So again, when a wide plank
is laid on the ground and remains, it will
be found reticulated with roots on its un-
der part, and even extending into the
pores of the wood. This is occasioned
by two causes combined = the collection
of nitrogenous matter there, in connec-
ton with moisture, which is always con-
served in such situations. It has been
attributed to the collection of nitrogen
there, alone, but incorrectly, since with
out moisture, this would be entirely un-
available to the roots. If this mulch or
other covering be removed, these surface
feeding roots Immediately die, and others
are formed in lower strata or soil where
moisture is present Hence, mulch once
given, it should be continued to the end
+ the season at least. stii snlAg s

The Ounce.

& s. - * -s $40 sss #ssF - ss-s- 4asa
This fruit was held in high favor by
the ancients who regarded it as emblem
attic of love and happiness. Pliny tells
how it may be kept for winter use. 1t
is thought by some to have been the for
hidden fruit of the garden of Eden, -.
The ounce is valuable for drying, for
marmalades, ,jellies, preserves, ETC., and
is sometimes used for making wine. 1t
is always in demand in the market. The
farmers wife ever keeps a sharp, outlook
for her supply. 1t is generally held that
the ounce should be planted on low,
moist soil. Such q location, if dry
enough to receive, thorough cultivation,
will indeed give good results, but one
year with another, good, deep, we'll
drained soil will prove the best. !. /
have seen it apparently thriving in al
most every soil, yet one q little inclined
to clay should be preferred. Nc. species
Of hardy fruit demands better culture
than the ounce, and yet none receives
such neglect, In fact, some advise NO
manuring, no culture, and then report
that the ounce comes into bearing only
after seven or eight. years. The follow
ing method was given by one having
large experience and extraordinary suc-
cess, having large, fields in cultivation:

A WASHINGTON ], correspondent sug-
gests that, inasmuch as the papers in the
interests of the bondholders are calling
conventions to instruct their Senators and
Representatives to oppose the silver bill,
and to abuse and threaten those who
have supported that measure, it would
be well for the advocates of the measure
to get up counter demonstrations. The
writer adds, that France, the most pros
porous country in Europe, has no diff
Guilty in securing specie payments upon a
bi-metalic currency, and the remonetiza-
ton of silver would bring the same re-
suit here. While John Sherman still
tugs away at the screw of contraction,
and in New York from four to five mer-
chants and business men topple down
from affiuence to beggary every day, the
bondholder looks upon the ruin and dis
tress all over the country, and cries !;
Give me gold. Silver will do we'll

ed away from the port of Pascagoula

Hill having ''gone back on his former
decision, and allowing the United States
Marshals to seize logs which he had once
ordered released. Such action on the
part of the Government, thus putting an
embargo upon commerce and interfering
with important interests, on which a
whole section of a State is dependent,
is oppressive and tyrannical, and we have
been wondering why Congress has per
mitted the matter to sleep. s.

THE Atlanta, Georgia Constitution,
referring to rumors of formidable Gin
dependent movement in Georgia. based
upon the Hayes Administration, says: g
That truth may be very pointedly and
conveniently summarized as follows: /.
There ia no independent movement in
Georgia as opposed to the Democracy. 2.
Mr.. Hayes' Southern policy has had not the
slightest effect upoa the organization or the De-
mocracy, either in Georgia or in the South.
The Democrats approve his good appoint
ments, and that is ALP 81
Of the "good appointments" it should
have been added, there have been pre-
cious few. The Administration has
made it point to select as the objects of
its especial favor the Returning Board
peUurers and forgers, and has every
where made mockery of its pretended
civil service reform, to say nothing Of its
championship of the privileged bond
holders against the people. The Demo
cratic party would not be fit to live an
hour if there were no virtues and prin-
ciples in its aims high enough and strong
enough to resist the Establishments of
such an Administration.

Capt. Montg"mery's Plan.

Kinds County Gazette.l iaatse.sizE s.ts
In the course of some remarks before
the Farmers Meeting on Saturday after.
noon, Senator Montgomery submitted a
plan for working laborers which he had
tried and found to work we'll. 1t was
this: That those who employ hands, en-
ploy them with the understanding that
they are to be fed, furnished with mules,
plows, and five acres of land. The EN-
ployer to receive. four days of their labor
in each week, thus leaving two days labor
to be devoted to the cultivation of the
five acres of land. This plan, said Capt
Montgomery, worked well for the en-
.ployer and the employed, both receiving
greater benefits than by the old plan.

The Paci1ic Raiiroad QaesrioD.


We have published an article in advor
eaey of the Texas Pacific Railroad, and
in order that the people may have light,
will open our columns to communica
tions in favor of what is called the
Southern Pacific, or Huntington scheme.
The Legislature of Mississippi has re-
peatedly declared in favor of the former
plan. The paramount idea is to obtain
a route on the 32nd parallel, and to Sc
cure it as competing line with the
present road, which monopolizes the
trade and travel to the Pacific. None
of the bills which have been offered to
facilitate the building of the Texas Pa
ci6c railroad ask for one dollar, of gov
eminent money, nor for one government
bond. They do not ask for subsidy at
all. They merely ask for government
guarantee of the interest On the compa-
ny's BONDS. The bonds are to bear five
per cent. interest, and to run fifty years.
They are to be issued at the rate Of ST, (
900 per mile for the distance from Fort
Worth, in Texas, to San Diego-the
mountain region, estimated at $50 in
extent, to have $4,000 per mile; but
the whole amount of bonds issued on the
main line is not to exceed 5000, 900.
The five per cent. interest on the
guaranteed bonds would be $1,985, 600
a year. The net earnings of the Union
Pacific road, reaching only half way to
the Pacific from the Missouri river, were
last year $8,317 COO; those of the Cen
trail Pacific were about $4,000, 900, max
ing $14, 100000 for the whole time. L
the Texas Pacific when completed should
yield only one-sixth this amount of ne
earnings, it would be enough to pay the
interest on its bonds, and release thu
government from responsibilities tina
what the government is asked for il
nothing but favor which is not likely
ever to result in any actual payment o.
public money. " scst 7ta
