Your last paper being filed with

State Executive Committee, it may
be in order in this issue to take a
view o. the opposite side Of the pic
lure.
Your correspondent has read with
care both your editorial and the com.
munication signed "a Hampton
Democrat" and he has failed to find
n single argument against the prim-
ary system, which does not apply
with equal, if not greater force,
against the convention system.
Before reviewing these arguments
let Us briefly compare the two sys-
tens, in order that the subject may
be clearly undcrstpo |, ~ doubt ess

9TH. A frivolous objection is made
to some oath suggested by the State
Convention. Now all such details of
arrangements arc left to the several
counties to adjust according to their
wishes. Therefore this objection is
anticipated. Besides, whatever OBJ
legations rest upon At Democrat in
the primaries, are equally binding
upon him in conventions.
9th. 1t is said that the machinery
OF the primaries is too cumbersome
and expensive. l am utterly unable
to see where either the cumbersome
ness or tNl,nsc comes in. Even if
the managers of elections require
compensation, What is this tri1ing
amount in comparison to the object
aimed ut. AS 10 the iutricacv of
machinery; because Fairfield, Now

ties that have adapted the prima ry

From an Interview with Governor McCreery, of

"By the way" the Governor continued,
"I hope you won't think it vain IN me il

the close Of the war-along in the spring OF
1865--that T turned up in Richmond, Va.
I had been captured and prisoner over
there in your State, at Johnson's Island,
near Sandusky. After being exchanged l
went back to Richmond to get my orders
and go into the service again. Prices
were pretty high in Richmond in those
days.. and they were charging $75 day at
the hotels. Being the modest colonel OF
Kentucky regiment. couldn't stand that
very long, and so i set out to hunt q board

a Mrs. Robinson's, and soon arranged to
take board with her. The morning that
commenced went down to breakfast. She,
OF course, introduced me to her other
boarders--three gentlemen-who were seat
ed at the table. Those three gentlemen
were Colonel Porter, now Governor OF Ten
nessee; General Holiday, now Governor
elect Of Virginia, and Beverly Tucker, the
leading representative OF Virginia now in
Congress. We were none OF us in particu-
larIy good spirits, but we all soon became
fast friends. We little expected, though,
that in less than fifteen years three OF Us
would be Governors OF States, and the

Senator Hill, Of Georgia, in letter to an
Iowa editor scouts the suggestion that
the southern Democracy, in the event Of
their obtaining power in the General Gov
ernment, would grant pensions to Confed-
crate soldiers on account OF injuries re-
,ceived during the war. He says such a
claim would be absurd in itself, and is
clearly included in the prohibitions Of sec
ton four of the fourteenth amendment to
the Constitution. Senator Hill is equally
emphatic in denying that there is any sem
timentin favor of paying for the losses Of
slave property or Confederate debts OF any
sort.
George, the Count Johannes, appeared in
Hamlet at the Bowery Theatre, New York,
on Monday evening, the place being
crowded with an audience which had
gathered in expectation of seeing much
fun, but the performance was far removed
from grotesqueness, being quiet, conyen-
t1onal, aud comnlon- place Characterization.
Yet he was laughed at almost continuously,
until the people seemed to become con-
WINGED that he was not very funny after
! all. Then the derision was turned upon
others on the stage, and especially upon
Miss Avonia Fairbanks, who played Ophe-
| lila, the young lady being greeted with calls

ebracd and popular medicines have effected rcvc-
luton IN The healing art, and proved the falacy OF
several maxims which have for many years ob
sruc,ed the progress of medical science. The false
suppositon that & CONSUMPTION Is iucurable" de-
TERED physicians from attempting to dnd remedies
for that disease, and patients afflicted with II recon-

unavoidable. 1t is now proved, however, that
CONSUMPTION can be cured, and that it hds been

A Letter Interesting to Farmers.
SPANISH CuUFA.
Sy1TuFIE1D N. G.. December %

SM1TnFIELD, n. c., December %, 1877.
Ed1torS Dispatch: I will endeavor to
give your readers the history, description.
the mode or manner OF cultivating, pro-
litcuess, and the uses Of the Spanish chufa,
as cultivated by Mr.. Fl. A. Adams, OF this
town. Tradition says the Spanish chufa
was introduced into Spain during the slave
trade in Africa, where it was Alsed as an
article Of diet by the natives. From Spain
it was introduced into Georgia; from Geor-
gia it was introduced into this portion OF
North Carolina. The chufa is a tuhcr. They
are about three quarters OF an inch long !;
OF an irregular, oblong shape. The tubers
contain many eyes (iike an Irish potato),
from which spring the sprouts or blades.
They are extremely prolific, and one tuber
will produce hundreds Of sprouts and
thousands OF tubers (they grow in the
ground like Irish potatoes), when ploughed
in rows two and half feet wide, from
about the 1st of April-with light, shallow
cultivation, on sandy land, ordinary fer
tility (but will grow on most any soiD. By
the 1st OF August they will meet in the
rows and form complete network
OF roots, and on these roots will grow
thousands of tubers.' From three to five
| gallons will plant an acre. The missing
| hill can easily be replanted by the sprouts
drawn from the hills that come up. One
| eoro I,lanto7 iu vtrItra CsuUtf1u tue SeaSOn ana
soil suit| will produce chIlfas enough to fat
ten say from 1000 to 1,500 pounds OF pork.
Hogs will eat them in preference to either
peas or potatoes. They will not rot in the
ground, but will Keep sound for a long
while. 1t is best to feed the hogs on corn
for week or two before killing. It is
alleged here by responsible farmers that one
acre will produce 100 bushels. Mr.. Seth
Woodall planted a few rows between his
corn; he made a fine crop. 1t is best to
soak the tubers in water for five or ten days
before planting. They will not keep well
packed in boxes. The enormous yield, the
great demand. the great advantages over
corn, peas, and potatoes in fattening hogs,
and the great difficulty in saving the tubers,
make the price Of the chufa rather high, it
would seem. They are saved by pulling
up the blades (Which can be grazed or.cut
as hay when green) and threshing them
off, and sieving the sand out. In the green
state they should not be put in large heaps.
Hogs can be turned on the chufas in Sep
tember, or as soon as the blades begin to
decline.
GP. S.-Since the above was written the
Department of Agriculture at Washington
has purchased all the tubers it could get
at six dollars per bushel. A package Of
the tubers can be seen at this Office
