Many questions haYe been asked as to
the result of the experiments of the
Agricultural Departments at Washington
in making sugar from sorghum and corn
stalks. Professor Sillimon writes
letter to the New York World to say
that the experiments, while confessedly
incomplete, have established the fact that
there isno trouble in making sugar from
corn and sorghum. And be adds: ut is
probably quite safe to say that with things
conducted on a commercial scale and with
suitable vacuum pans and centrifugal
machines, not less than 100 pounds of
sugar and strip can be obtained from each
ton of stalks Of corn or sorghum treated
tor sugar, or per cent of the green
weight" This, coming from good author
lty, covers the main points inquired after
by correspondents Inter Ocean.

In fighting duel the parties who are to
give and receive the bullets ought to be
careful not to take any undue advantage of
each other. When we heard last week
that Judge Hilton and II. B. Clafiin had
resorted to pistols we thought at once OF
the size of the combatants. 1t seemed no
more than fair-since Mr.. Clafin is rather
small man, while the Judge is portly-
that the seconds chalk on the person OF the
Judge target just the size of DIR. Clafin,
and that if the dry goods merchant hit out
side that mark it ought not to be counted.
However. the whole story turned out a
canard, and nothing more serious occurred
than friendly hand shake and good laugh.
According to the rules of equity it should
also be decreed that when two persons
fight duel, one of whom is near sighted,
the man who is near sighted should be
placed just four PAGES nearer his opponent
than his opponent to him. How this is to
be done we do pot pretent to know, but
that it should be done is beyond question.

10 The Editor of the National ReDuJticdn:
SIR In carefully watching the proceedings
of this extra session of the Forty-sixth Con-
gress it is clearly evident that the sole object
and purpose of the Democratic party is to re-
peal certain election laws which they know
are the only safeguards that protect the coun-
try against dishonest and fraudulent elections.
Suppose by any foul means, and we know this
is their only resort, they should accomplish
their ends, what would be the result in 1850
Simply return of the LOcolocoism of 1914,
when it was then Mt its height, and Henry
Clay was cheated out of his honest election by
the most fraudulent and dishonest election
that ever befell the American people, We all
know how it was done. Bllot.boxes were
stuffed to their utmost capacity. The Wings
were debarred from voting, while unnatural
lied foreigners enjoyed the full privileges oil
the ballot-box. We quote ono Of the many
ways that was resorted to in the city of New
York. "a single individual, by dint of hard
swearing and adroit management, could vote
at all the voting booths in the city" "A we'll
drilled band of 100 men might easily cast up
wards of 900 votes in one day" No, we will
never again return to the scenes Of those days
while this country is controlled by the Repub-
lican party, and sensible men who care for the
welfare of our nation. No, history will not
repeat itself in this instance while right and
justice prevails SUBSCRIBER.

pnMocNNrIc RErnrNcnMrNT.

Senator COuRRELIp of Missouri, rs has
already been announced, is especially ten
der and careful of his friends, be they in
the flesh CT embodied in the form of local
Democratic newspaper. Soon after the Sem
ate found itself master of the situation un-
der majority obtained through very ques-
tionablc influences, Senator CoCKRELL began
to develop as an absorbent of patronage
He conceived the idea of suppouin~ hislo
paper in part from the National Treasury
and hence appointed Mr. MORROW, cjitor Of
the Warcnsburg Mo- JOuaai- Democrat, as
clerk of his committee. This purpose has
been carried out, and MI. MORROW is in
dustriousy engaged in editing his paper
there and drawing his pay here, without
performing the service due to the Govern
ment in exchange for the money received.
This, no doubt, is all right under the Demo-
cratic theory of Government and the distri-
button of its patronage but it doesn't look
well on paper.
We have before us n copy of Senator
| COCKRELL's organ the Wauensburgh Jour
nal Democrat, that bears evidences of thrift
to an extent which would scarcely justify
the opinion that it is in need of Govern
ment succor. Among its rich freight OF
advertisements, the eye falls upon one ol
well-nigh column, signed by the sheriff,
and which offers to the public at auction
sale OH a given day divers and sundry tract:
and parcels of real estate. This territory
if we are to judge from the spread in the
Journal Democrat, covers all the land that
joins it, In the predicate OF this advertise
ment of sale we find the names of A. w
RGDINGs, I. NJ COCKRELL, and JOHN j
CoCKREI.L as defendants, and the First Ma
tional Bank of Salem, n. c., as plaintiffs
Rumor has it that this advertisement o
sale has something to do with the RTDTNGs
Bank matter at Warrensburgh, which the
people OF that section have occasion to re
member with unfragrant memories. How
ever, this is none of our funeral but aite
all the inquiry will rise, why should Sen
ator CoCKRELL apply the Treasury of tn
United States to the support of his politica
organ when it is 50 richly patronized a
home?

GOVERNOR COLQUGrr, Of Georgia has been
North again, and having returned to the
Sunny South assures his fellow citizens of
that rampageous region that the North Is
in favor of complete national reconclia-
tion and complete peace Of the section"
The Republican leaders are in his opin-
ion, making fatal mistake in basing
their schemes upon the belief that the
sectional feeling still exists, or that it can
be famed into life again" The Governor
is right in this postulate, except as regards
the fatal mistake he aSCribes TO the Repub-
lican leaders. The North is in favor of COM
plete peace and reconciliation, on the basis
of nOn-seClional loyalty and equal rights, to
be protected and asserted by the National
Government. 1t is only when the Demo-
cratic leaders make the fatal mistake of at
tempting to disrupt this equitable peace and
reconciliation that sectional feelings are
famed into life again. But Governor COL
QUIT is peculiar type of peculiar class
of Southern leaders. If he were Republic
can the Opposition press would describe him
as psalm-singing, hypocritical, Christian
statesman, for he is a man who intersperses
his thrifty endeavors at money making with
ostentatious attendance upon Northern
Methodist camp-meetings and public re-
ligious occasions of all kinds. 1t is exactly
such representatives of Southern sentiment

who do the most damage in the North by

OFFICE UNITED STATES MARSHAL,

WE begin to see the end of this conflict
between Congress and the Executive. The
tone of the later Democratic caucuses has
been one Of humility born of defeat and
spitefulness bred of cowardice. This will
cyentuate as the saying is, in the passage
of the appropriation bills free from political
riders and the refusal to pass certain clauses
therein relating to the execution of the ma
tional election laws. This nglorious COM
promise, which leaves the Government free
to act as it ordinarily does until the next
December session, when this conflict may
be renewed, will have cost the county
thousands upon thousands of dollars an ex-
pendiyure, however which will be fully
compensated for by the lessons of warning
the people have received during the past
two and half months.

The newspapers Of the second Tenpessee
district, represented by Judge Houk, are
speaking out in regard to the war certain
parties have been making on him. Whatever
dismissed aud removed office-holdels may say,
Judge Houk undoubtedly has the confidence
of the people whom he represents, and who
know, and have known him all his life. We
clip the following extracts from papers pub
lished in Judge Houk's Congressional districts:

In our opinion Judge Houk has been the worst
slandured man in the State II not the United States.
The contemplate character Of this slander consists
IN measure Of It's methods, as well rs It's matter,
For instance, the men now prominent IN prOpusal,
