SINGULAR Property OF TOMATO

ciety of Horticulture, Valparaiso,
"And the trees grew well and
strongly. They had just COM
menced to bnd when they were III
yaded by the curculio, which in
sects were followed, as frequently
happens, by ants. The idea oc-
Cured to me that by placing some
tomato leaves around the trunks
and branches Of the peach trees /
might preserve them from the rays
of the sun, which We're very power
ful. NY surprise was great. upon
the following day, to fDd the trees
entirely freed from their enemies.
Not one remained except here and
here where curled leaf prevented
the tomato from exercising its in
fuence. These leaves 1 carefully
uufolled, placing upon them fresh
ones from the tomato vines, with
the result OF banishing the last in
sect and enabling the trees to grow
with luxurianee. Wishing tocarry
still further my experiment., ! Isteep-
ed in water some fresh leaves Of
the tomato, and splinkled with this
infusion other plants, roses and
oranges. In two days these were
also free from the innHmerable in
seets which covered them, and /
felt sure that, had ] used the same

privations, is the personal interest
OF the soldier In the issue of tile
contest. Such an interest we can
give our negroes by granting i'm
media.e freedom at the end of the
war TO tire families of those who
discharge their duties faithfully
whether they survive or mott, to-
getber wifi tle privilege of re-
siding in the South.
To this might be added n boun-
'y for faithful service. We should
not expect slaves to light for pros
pectiye freedom when they can
secure it ut once by going to the
enemy, IN whose service they will
incur no greater risk than in ours.
The reasons that induce me to re-
commend the employment of me-
gro troops MT all render the effect
of the measures I have suggested
upon slavery imfnaterial, and in
my pinion the best means Of se-
curing tire efficiency and fidelity OF
this anxilfary force would be to
accompany the measure with 4
we'll -digested plan of gradual and
general emancipation. Az that viii
be the result of a continuance OF
the war, and will certainly occurif
the enemy succeed, it seems TO mo
most advisable to adopt it at once,
and thereby obtain all the benefits
that will accrue to our cause.
Unemployment of negro troops,
under regulations similar to those
indicated, would, in my opinion,
greatly increase our military
strength, and enable as to relieve
our white population to some ex-
tent | think we could dispense
with The reserve forces, except in
cases OF emergency. Tt would dis
the hopes which our ene-
mics have, upon our exhaustionj
deprive them in Is great measure of
the aid they now derive from black
troops, and thns throw the burden
OF the war apou their own people.
in addition to tire great political
advantages that would result to
oar cause from the adoption of %
system OF emancipation, it wohld
exercise salutary influence upon
our negro poptlation, by rendering
more sccnre the fidelity of those
who become soldiers, and dimin-
shing the Inducements to the rest
% abscond.
| can only say in conclusion,
hat whatever measures are to be
adopted, should be adopted at
'nce. Every days delay increases
he difficulty. Much time will be
eqnired to organize and discipline
he men, and action may be defer
ed till it is too late.
Very respectfully, your obedtent

Judge J. B. Elan,.

This gentleman writes US, that him
self and Mr.. Ellis voted all the time
for the investigation of the frauds
perpetrated in the Presidential can
vass of 1876, and against Carter Har-
tlson's amendment declaring, in ad-
vance, that Hayes title was not to be
disturbed. Judge Elan is particu-
larly and justly severe on the "poli-
cy" about which so many Southern
men rant-the "Southern Policy
which puts in Office in Louisiana, Geo.
L. Smith, Tom Anderson and Mat.
Wells. Judge Elan insists on a
vigorous canvass for this State, and
says, that ls the policy of the Nation
al party. No more halfway meas
tlres, but bold aggression all the time.
Judge Elam's advocacy Of a Consti-
tutional Convention in this State is
vigorous and manly.

The Testimony.

So far, the testimony elected shows
that the plot to steal the vote of Lou
isiana for Hayes, and by which it was
stolen, was of the low and vulgar
sort and were it not necessary, we
would sicken at a further recital of
details.
John Sherman, Stanley Matthews
and Senator Ferry, the acting Vice.
President, are all in the tolls now,
while the net which will envelope
Hayes looms up as Mr.. Potter's Com
mittee advances.
Levisse swears that bis name was
forged to the electoral return from
this State no less than nine times,
and it is proven, at least morally, that
Ferry opened the returns before the
two Houses met as required by law.
Let it all come, for it is' by such
means alone that American politics
can be purified.

Senator Stubs.

E..suwhe,c is published an Article
from the Ounchita Telegraph which
contains the fact that one Senator
Stubhs has seen ct to travel all the way
to Natchitochrs and a>sail the Editoi
of the NlNDICATOR rs an untrustwor-
thy exponent of political sentiment.
Stubs no doubt thinks so, as other
Senators have done before we heard
from him, but his thinking and say
ing so did not prevent the people of
"Logtown" from going back on him.
If Stubs said we are actuated by
the motives he asclibed to the "smalt
country papers'' generally, he is a
malicious, slanderons falsifier.
BY the by who is Stnhbs, that he
should constitute himself criticiser
of other mems motives and u kicker
wherewith to expel other and a long
ways better Democrats than ne ever
was from the party. Has this sem
atorial accident, for he is one pure
and simple, forgotten that he was a
defeDdent and co-partner with Lude-
ling in the suit, which the Supreme
Court of the United States sat down
upon with a vigor that should have
pressed the political life out of every
man that had any thing to do with
that grab.
1t matters but little whether Mr..
Stubs likes our particular political
style or not, it seems the people of
Logtown do, and what is more, the
people of this parish and State have
honored US with political following,
not only at this time but during the
days when Mr.. Stubbs was assocla-
ting with Ludeling and Ray, our op-
pressors.
No recently hatched Democrat Con-
seyyatsye can read rs ont of party
in which we were born, for which we
carried a musket, and of which Mr..
Stubs is but a probation member.

Not So Dead After All.

What has become Of that mighty
result which the gushy Legislators
told US was to be the particular
and peculiar outcome of the
Nicholas Hayes policy in Louisiana
a kind of "I'll tikle you if you'll tickle
me' affair-Hayes appoints Tom An
derson and Nichols follows suit by
appointing Pinchback and "wisa-
versa" They told us that the lamb
and the lion lying in era had come
but it looks as if that rose tinted time
was yet in the dim future. A crowd
of negroes have been caught in an at
tempt to assassinate the white lead
ers of East Feliciapa parish which is,
to our mind, a rather practical argu-
ment that gush don't pay.
1t shows how little these superan-
nuated conservatives know of the ne
gro who has had eight years Of Kel-
logg and Warmoth.+
