The Dead Lock.

The general sentiment Of the coun
try seems to he in favor Of no conces
aion or back down on the part Of the
Democrats in the coming dead lock
between Congress and the Executive
Some prominent Democratic states
men advise the avoidance of every
thing which could possibly give rise
to :he cry Of revolution and s,lilify
the North for Grant, arguing that as
the Democrats have done all they
can to maintain constitutional gov
ernment, it would be better for them
gracefully TO acquicse, and pass the
appropriation bill, leaving the re-
sre visibility for The urconstit utional
measures to the Republicans who
inaugurateI them, committing their
cause to the decision Of the pcopl at
the ballot box in 1880.
The majority, though, seems to
favor the passage Of the legislative
bills, and if the President vetoas
them, to adjourn without granting
supplies for the support of the gov
ernment. 1t is significant fact,
however, that Inc Republicans are
anxious for the Democrats to take
this stand.
The latest movements, however,
in dicate that the Democrats are by
no means hacked, but are adopting
measures which will make the Presi-
dent and his party show their hands
to the people.
The particular juncture in our
political affairs is critical one, and
requires consummate wisdom. We
have, no doubt, that legislation will
be SO modified as to avoid the defects
OF the first programme, and at the
SO time maintain the dignity of the
party. Again We say that victory in
1880 is vastly more important than
any temporary triumph. May wis
dom pervade our councils.

Less Politics.

One of the happiest results Of the
transition from Rudcalism to Demo
crncy. besides the reduction oftaxas
and the diminution Of corruption, Is
the tuning of the minds of The
people from politics to material de
velopment.
In the turbulent days that are past
politics rcrvaded almost every stage
Of society, and the minds Of men we're
naturally diverted from the ordinary
pursuits Of business. Now every
thing is changed, and, confidence
eing engendercd in the adminislra
tion of the government, men are able
to turn their attention from public
to 'rivate afinirs. This is indeed Il
happy change. What we need is
less politics, and more work. The
material development Of our land is
the province Of our young men This
is the key to our future wealth AMI
happiness. Agriculture presents the
best field for ou energi,s and labor
nor is tie door closed to manutnc urc
snl commerce. With our genial
climate and fertile soil, pluck, energy
and perseverance will ell ,urc pros.
perity. With our young men re- is
the future hope Of our State and
country. We look to them.

HOME MADE FERTILIzER.-Judge r.
r. Moore, one OF the most successful
farmers of our county, hands us the fol-
lowing formula for composing homo
made fertilizer, which, the Judge claims.
liz as good as any of the standard com,
mercial fertilizers in the market, and
cheap. because 1t costs nothing except a
little labor.
The formula for ono ton of the fertili.
ger is as follows: One thousand pounds
of rich loan earth (procured from the
fence corners, or wash places, OF surface
dirt from the woods, and fifteen bushels
of cotton seeds ; put into the stables of a
horse or COW, cover with sufficient
amount of leaves or straw to prevent the
stall from becoming muddy or dirty.
Letit be tramped twenty or thirty days,
when it may be put in pen and another
supply in the stable.
BY this method, Judge Moore saws
that ton of fertilizer for each horse or
COW can be made, equal to the best fer
tilizer offered in the market, which is dis
tribnted in the same way, and in the
same quantities as guano. All who
know Judge Moore, know that he has
succeeded az farmer and he Is no Cas-
tie builder. We hope our farmers will
give this manure fair test, and save
themselves the thousands of dollars paid
to fertilizer manufacturers.- Georgia

Of the Act that the Defendants were not
liable as petitioners, but as benefciaries.
The Commissioners have themselves as.
serted this view by imposing the assess.
ment also upon the property OF persons
who were not petitioners. The liability
incurred must be measured by the scale
CT benefit received. This position is very
strongly reinforced by the decision of the
Supreme Court or Michigan, in the case
OF Thomas ct al. va. Cain, reported 10 the
Law and Equity Reporter of March %.
1877, and cited and ably commented on
6y one OF the learned counsel tJames l..
Orr, Esq, On behalf Of the Defendants.
1t is further urged on behalf of the
commissioners, that the Defendants, by
their second petition, protesting against
the. further progress Of the work at
Majors Shoals, themselves prevented the
benefit that their property would have
received from the further prosecution of
the said work. This statement does not
appcaC: 70 be warranted by the evidence.

the Plaintiffs, find the following COM

OF the Board Of County Commissioners,
announcing the entire completion of the
work under the contract, the excavation
having previously been finished Mt the
lower Shoal. AS shown by the date of this
communication, the work at the Shoals

The FRENCH TRADE DoLLAR.-I in
formed You recently of the intention of
the French Government to authorize the
Paris mint to coin trade dollar for cir
culation in Cochin, China. whence it was
expected soon to make its way into other
countries of the extreme East The
original idea was that this new coinage
should be left to private individuals,
who would have first to obtain authoriza-
ton from the Minister of the Colonies or
the Governor of Cochin, China, but that
the Government should not coin for
itself. That intention has apparently
been modified, for now learn that the
new coinage has commenced, but for the
Government, which recently purchased
silver for sum of one million of francs,
and sent it to the mint to be con-
verted into the new trade dollars.
This coin is of the exact weight and
fineness of the American trade dollar,
and therefore small fraction heavier
than the Mexican piastre. Although of
the same fineness as the French 5-franc
piece, it does not correspond to any
French coin in vllue, the 5-franc piece
weighing 25 grammes and the new trade
dollar 2.2. The value in French legal
tender silver coin would therefore be
about 5f.44c. The French Government
is just now paying particular attention
to the circulation in it's colonies of the
East. Hitherto the English rupee had
circulated Reunion Island at the rate of
2f. &c., or 2s., concurrently with French
coin and other moneys, but an order of
the Governor was recently issued pro-
hibiing the rupee as legal tender and
announcing that it would cease to be re-
