MISCELLANEOUS.
CTIUFAs.-The reports are almost unani-
NOUS in stating that this, rs q hog crop, Is
growing in favor. Some corresponding
are enthusiastic in It's praise. There are
some writer's who still confound the chufa-
grass-nut-with the nut-gra<s. They are
somewhat alike in appearance, but altogeth-
er different in habit Of growth and in value.
The chufa is hardly more difficult to exter-
inmate from the soil than ground peas-in
fact, it gives no trouble whatever-while
the nut-grass is not only worthless, but ex-
ceedingly difficult to eradicate when once in
possession of the soil.
OItCHARDs.-The peach crop has univer-
! sally escaped froat, and there Is a prospect
of very large yield. Apples promise less
than average, and pears still less. There
has been an increase of sixteen per cent. to
the area in orchards-chiefiy in apples and
peaches
DRYING FRUIr-It Is not too early to
call attention to the importance of saving
the surplus crop of peaches and apples, by
driving either by sun or furnace heat.
Drying frames can be easily and cheaply

over light frames of wOod-twO and a half
by ak feet in dimensions. They are far

Ii it is desired to operate ON larger
scale, il is advisable to construct or procure
n drying furnace and appliances. They
may be had now at a reasonable price.
Neighbors might club together and purchase,
or an energetic mSn operate one for neigh
borhood, charging toll or buying the fresh
fruit and selling the dried products by
wholesale.
SToCK.-CSttle and work stock are gen.
orally in good condition, and the stock OF
hogs-al sizes-is seven per cent. greater
| than last year.
FERTILIzEEs.-It appears that ten per
cent. more commercial fertilizers have been
purchased this year, and twenty-five per
cent. of those purchased were comPos;ed.
LABOR-SUPPLIEs-T average wages
per month, for full hands (men), with ra-
tions, is, in North Georgia, $500; Middle
Georgia, $3.50; Southwest Georgia, 81 40;
East Georgia, $500; Southeast Georgia,

year, 80.
Farmers are purchasing about twenty-five
per cent. less supplies (corn and bacOnl than
last year. Fifty-six per cent. of those pur-
chased are on credit.

standpoint. The Presidential al
question has been once-and f.
nally-tried before s tribunal
which Democrats created. There
is no hope of reversing the de-
cisiOn of that tribunal. To change
it, it would be necessary not
only to go "behind the returns. .
but behind the law of the land.
The task found impossible before
is doubly difficult now.
AS it is not intelligently ex-
pected that President Hayes can
not be unseated, the only motive
tor the introduction Of the Potter
resolution must be the design to
make political capital. Even for
this purpose we cannot but think
the policy mistaken one. The
belief is already deeply imbedded
in the minds of the American
people that the votes of Florida
and Louisiana were wrongfully
counted for Hayes. He did not
count the votes, and does not ap-
pear to have been a party to any
OF the proceedings in those States
in counting votes that were cast,
or in refusing to count votes that
were cast. The guilt of Moves
and Sherman may be readily be-
lieved. But the public conviction
that the votes of Louisiana and
Florida were not actually cast for
*. b. Hayes is beyond the power
for amp investigation to disturb.
No investigation can increase
that general belief. The investi-
cation, the new and useless trial
of the case might serve to create
doubt. These investigations
already have, in the public esti-
nation, all the investigation
could give them. Let we'll
enough alone. A large majority
of the American people are al
ready convinced OF the Louisiana
and Florida frauds. There is no
thing to be gained by trying q
cause that is already won. All
the details of the frauds in those
two States are not known. 1t is
not of supreme consequence
that they should be. The gensr-
al fact of the fraud is known and
read of all men. No amount OF
searching could increase this con
viction. Searching might dimin
ish the prosperity. There is nc
practical or political advantage
to be gained by reopening the
question, or by pushing such
resolutions as the Potter resolu-
| tons.

Only myself and another made our es-

life in a very cruel manner. The
Indians scalped him alive, and just
when they began to mutilate his body
we heard his last heart-rendering cries.
During this time we lay in a neighbor-

What Casey Young Insisted On.
From the Evening Herald Dispatch.

From the Evening Herald Dispatch.
WASHINGTON, May lit is now
stated that Mt the Democratic caucus
Mr.. Young offered and urged the fol-
lowing amendment to the Potter reso-
luton: EBut it is not intended by
this proceeding to disturb the present
Chief Magistrate in the occupancy of
his Office, and not to impair public con-
fidence in the policy he has Inaugural
ted toward Southern States. " This
amendment was earnestly advocated
by Mr.. Young and other Southern
Representatives, and by Harrison,
Ewing and other Northern members.
1t was said that many Of those present
actually believed the amendment was
right, but were whipped into the party
traces by speaker Randall. But the
end is not yet. Much dissatisfaction
still exists, and it is asserted, on ex.
celient authority, that Congressman
Young and his friends will yet compel
the acceptance of his amendment oil
defeat the resolution. These gentle
men do not maintain that the Presi
dents title is valid by reason of any
vote which was cast for him, but by
reason of the decision of the Electoral
| Commission.

REVOLUTION IN THE AIR.

Effects follow causes in the political
as in the physical world. The CEN
tralization Of wealth has worked gre
vious harm in this country. Glass
legislation has thrown around itself so
many trappings of ingenious devices
that the public good is mere football
when any public measure is discussed
in the council chambers of the nation.
Monopolizing capital has ruled national
affairs with an unsparing hand since
the late war closed. Every industry,
every enterprise and every interest
have been mercilessly dealt with by
the money lords Of the land Labor
has been reduced to abject slavery and
the chains it now bears are as CALLING
as any that cut into the flesh of the
Southern slave. For every African
slave liberated by Lincoln's proclamG-
tion Of freedom there is white slave.
Yea, there are more such white
slaves. Hence, the loud mutterings
i'll the West ana East are forermners
of a coming storm. Labor is dis
tresscd, maltreated and crucifed. 1t
cries aloud for relief But capital, as
a hard task master, stands by uncon-
cerned and would make the burden
still heavier All kinds of corporate
wealth are in close alliance to fasten
upon the country just such legislation
as their interests may require. The
commune Is ut work for relief. Thi,
ultra organization is full of peril
These men in their radical measures
will destroy all sympathy for the labor
reform league. We grant that the
hard rule of capital-mOnopoly-
must be broken, but we would accom-
plish this object through peaceful
channels. Send no man to Congress.

CROP REPoRTs FROM GEORGIA.
Interesting Facts.

From the systematic and thorough crop
reports as consolidated by Hon. Thomas P.
james, Commissioner of Agriculture of the
State of Georgia, VIC gather the following
items:
Reports from all parts of the State show
an increase in area planted in corn over that
of last year. Preparation of soil six per
cent. better than last year and the stand
four per cent. better than average. An
abundant harvest is in prospect.
OATS.
The increase in the area devoted TO oats il
eight per cent: over last year. No reports
of winter killing.
WHEAT.
Encouraged by the remarkable yield oil
1877, farmers have sown largely increased
area-amounting to eighteen per cent. over
last year. The principal increase is III
Southwest Georgia, iii which section the
area sown is forty-six per cent. greater.
There are some serious complaints of rust
especially in North Georgia.
The reports from the other sections of the
State generally agree in stating that the fun
gus is confined TO the blades.
The prospective yield, for the whole
State, Is ninety-ive per cent. of an average
COTTON.
The area in cotton is one per cent.
greater, preparation Of soil three per cent.
better, and the time OF planting earlier ban
last year.
Six per cent. more commercial fertilizers
were applied to cotton, and the condition OF
the plant is equal to an average.
1t was hoped that the experience of last
years large crop aud low prices would lead
to a material decrease IN the cotton crop
and a corresponding increase in provision
crops; but these expectations have been only
partially realized. Many Of the farmers OF
Georgia have not yet been fully convinced
of the folly of relying on the cotton crop
for the means whcrewith to supplement in
sufficient food crops. There seems to be
still lingering hope of high prices for
cotton, and consequently plenty of money.
Past experience demonstrates the folly Of
