PLANTER AND FARMER.-This is q lively
season with the tiller OF the soil. and the
Planter is active in throwing out all the
light it can that is timely and beneficial TO
its readers. The No. opens with Major
RAGLAND's valuable essay on the cultivation
and curing of fine yellow tobacco. DUDLEY
MANN, so famous for his vigilance and epls-
tolary energy, wrote from his home in
France letter to Governor kEMPER on the
subject of beet-root sugar, which the Gov
ernor sent to the Planter, aud which that
journal gives to its readers in its pres
emit No. Mr.. MANN is very intelligent
gentleman, warmly devoted to the
South, and is very anxious that we should
try beet-root sugar. The editor of the
Planter thinks it deserves experiment I'M
der the direction Of Professor MALLETT
because Virginia needs "other sources OF
:. income than the crops to which she has
.tthus far given her attention." All right.
But we shall not be censured for express
ing the desire that Virginia, in hunting for
some new sources that are profitable, may
not find any new means for losing money,
Of which she has had quite enough. We
have great doubt about the profitable util-
ity OF the making Of beet sugar in coun-
try which has such quantity Of good land
for the sugar-cane. WsWould expect more
sugar from the beet than We should OF sum
beams from eucumbers; but, nevertheless.
we are not impressed with the utility Of
that mode Of producing sugar.
This No. OF the P,cs,ter is almost excep-
Etionally excellent. We find It contains
much that we forbear to speak Of, because
we have not room enough 10 say what we
desire TO say. The editorials ELLzEY's

OF 279 candidates nominated for
the next Congress only 81 were
members of the last Congress. OF
the present incumbents who have
been nre-nominated 32 are Republi-
cans and 26 Democrats. This slaugh-
ter of statesmen, says the Sacra-
mento Bee, is proof that the people
are thinking and acting for them
selves.-Evening Express.
In the course of a long and ad-
miring observation of the arithme-
tic of our contemporary, which
frequently calls into requisition all
the principles of the double rule of
three, we have learned to regard
. dicta as almost infallible. 1t

dence that we venture to ask how,
out of 81 Congressman renominat-
ed 80 could be Republican and 26

calculated to direct attention to
the unobstrusive way IN which the

vas ovsr. and'dId bot engage in any

conuict. IL 1s only fair 10 expect,
judging from the history Of theregu-
lars in 1861, that had the rioters been
really in earnest and bent on fight
ing as they were in the South, the
regulars would have surrendered
as tamely as they did then. For
this is the distinguishing charac-
teristic Of our present force of regu-
lars, SO called. AS long as the mat
ter is confined to threats and show
of force. they are in their element,
but when actual conflict arrives
they have always been found want
ing as q class, This was shown at
Pittsburgh by the Federal Major
Burlington, who actually refused to
receive the wounded men of Brin-
toms militia to save them from
pursuit Of the rioters, for fear it
might bring him into conflict with
what he saw was real danger.
Yet administration papers call
Brinton incapable, and fail to GEN.
sure the prudent Burlington.
But this is all of piece with the
rest. Hartranft is Grant man,
who allows the Pennsylvania mil
itia to fall into an unserviceable
condition, so as to get an excuse to
call in the regulars. The only
States in the Union to-day that
have q serviceable militia are New
York, New Jersey and Connecticut,
all three Democratic for several
years, aud it Is under the rule of
Democratic Governors that each
has formed its local forces. If every
State had followed their example,
we need not fear the regulars; but,
alas, since the close Of the civil
war the militia ofevery Republican
State has been allowed to go to
rack and ruin, SO as to give Gov
ernors an excuse 10 call 10 regulars
to suppress riots.
The danger is not fanciful, is not
far Off 1t is on us and threatening
US more and more daily. The
House Of Representatives sub.
mitted to be overawed In 1877 by
the army. and failed to stick to its
colors about refusing the army its
pay. During that summer the rail-
road hands were Systematically
goa led and irritated by the author
tiles OF the Republican belt of
States into riots, which were made
an excuse to call in regulars ITO
quell the mob" The Democratic
State of New York saw no serious
riots, and put down what local
trouble existed by its own local
militia-the proper weapon when
police fails. But the beginning has
been made, and United States
troops have been employed to reg
ulate affairs in several Northern
States, while not one of the States
alarmed last year has taken meas
ures to improve its militia. All the
officers of the only good militia
regiment In Philadelphia recently
resigned in disgust because they
found that there was no hope of re-
form in their division. The infer
ence Of this fact is plain. Gov.
Hartranft has been a soldier and
knows his business; he knows the
| defects of his militia and the way
to remedy them; but he is a Repub-
lican aud Grant man; he longs
for the man on horseback and big
army of professional soldiers
Therefore he deliberately allows
his State militia to decay, so that
be may call in the regulars again il
need be.
Militia and volunteers cannot
be used against the liberties of the
people.
