There has now been time to enable our
friends 10 calculate the effect the Maine
election will have on the result of those to
be held in October. Without any exception,
so far as have been able to learn by close
enquiry they belieye the Democratic, pros
poets have been greatly improved. The
boasting of Garfield and Hale, of what will
be done by the Republicans, is exactly the
same as they indulged In prior to the Maine
election. Only few days before Hale was
buried out of sight he put in writing his be-
lief that he would have more than 5000
majority. q.
Gratifying as It is to know that the radi-
calls cannot control the next House of Rep.

praise on the more important f ct mention
ed before In this correspondence, that the
increasing interest felt Id the currency and
other Questions in Maine, Massachusetts,
and other houses of sectionalism, has pre-
seDted the raising Of the "bloody shirt"
banner by men who have heretofore con-
trolled the Republican party. They will
hardly discuss the doubtful misfortunes of

100000 of overdue interest. Only about one

! Gen. Loduc, Commissioner Of Agriculture
. is evidently man of hobbies He has at
least dozen pet schemes on hand, at which
h" is working with unoXamplod zeal and "nor-
gy. The general is somewhat Of an agriruI-
/ tuIHI optimist; he thinks the United States
really TN" "greatost and most glorious r0un-
try in the world and that it can produce any
plant, tr0" or yograbIr that can ho grown
anyWhcr" else. With this idea in his mind,
he has determined to inaugural" the cuItiva-
ton of those articles that we have hitherto
/ had to import 50 that this country will be
com" soIf-supporting
Among tn" first things that the General
took in hand was tea. An investigation into
the character Of the tea plant showed that the
soil and "limat" Of North and South Caro-
lima, Virginia. Georgia and Tennessee were
admirably adapted to its cultivation. A largo
amount of seed was accordingly obtained and
distributed among farmers in that section Of
tn" country. The result is that tea cultva-
ton has begun, to an unexpected extent, and
Gen. Leduc has become SO enthusiastic over
the outlook that he predicts that our supply
OF tea will, within a very short period, be all
raised at home
But this is only ON" Of the Generals thou
sand agricultural schemes, He has In
v'stigat"d the Southern fig, finds it superior
to the Smyrna article and wants it dried and
made an articl" Of commerce. 1--WE can then
supply the world with dried figs" he says
"and drive Greco" and Turkey out of the
market
Among other schemes Of bis is the increase
of orange growing in Louisiana and Florida.
The Introduction Of the Italian chestnut, the
Japanese p"raimmon, date palm. and olive
trees, which he finds we'll suited tothe climate
Of different sections Of this country.
The General has also shown himself well
disposed toward the sugar industry of Louis-
lana, and advocated such assistance from the
Federal government in the way Of levees, etc,
as would enable Louisiana to furnish the
country with all the sugar it needs Some
OF these schemes are, of course, Ut0pian. and
will fail of success, but it i9 more than prob
able that the pertinaCity Of Gen. LeduC and
the soil and climate Of this country will
eventually make many of these enterpri ses
successful.

the recorders courts it cannot revise by

The Kate Southern case has, as was to be
expected, found its way into the politics Of
Georgia, and serious results are feared Kate
Southern was convicted Of the murder of her
rival. the woman that had alrnatod or sought
to ALLEVIATE the affections of her husband, and
sentenced to DEATH a sentence which has
since been changed to ten years imprison-
ment in the pententary
The murdered woman had been 4 Miss
Fowler. 1t is here that politics come in.
Pickens county is in North Georgia, up in
the mountains, and contains a population
that has always been divided and split on
all great political questions. In ante bellum
days one faction were Democrats, the ether
Wings; when the war came on, the latter
became UniOnists. the former COnfedcr8tes.
Although living close together, these two
bodies OF people have always been on hostile
and unfriendly terms, and more than once
serious feud has broken out between them.
1t SO happens that the two women who
figured in this murder, belong the two leading
families OF these opposing factions; Mrs.
Southern comes of a family which has
always led the Confederate causo in
Pickens county; while the F0wlers were
leaders Of the Unionist party. The result
Is that unfriendIy feelings have again
arisen between these two factions. The
