1t is said that between two and
three hundred men and women of St.

pint Of blood, piping hot from the
veins Of slaughtered cattle. More
tlood-drinking by consumptivcs and

ture incur county, and that you arc
always ready to MD with your valua-
ble paper every object that is caloula-
ted to add TO its material prosperity,
[ hand you the enclosed letter for
publication if you thnk proper. The
letter speaks for itself. Much has
been, said by our farmers about the
low price of cotton. The question
continually arises, can We. make. cot
Ton ats cents per pound? What
can We plant that will pay us better?
These are important questions to be
answered and each farmer will an
swer them according to his own indi-
vidnal stand point. I. hold that we
can make cotton at 8 cents per pound
provided We do not make it the cx-
elusive crop. Mr.. Eeg:tro as he writes
thinks HJu,c will pay bester than cot
ton. With our climate, soil and seal
sons we can produce nearly every
thing VIC ned for home CONSUMPTION
and the farmer, if he is prudent and
economical and not. in debt, can live
with bit littl, cash outlay during tho
year: Then let us diversity our crops
make everything we can for bomt
consumption, let us use economy
never buy on credit if We can avoid
it: Credit means paying from 20 t
so per cent above cash prices; f

DEAR SIR: -, see, in your last
meeting Of the Agricultural Society
discussion in regard TO planting
Jute, ana rs tried it last year, will
give you my experience with it, if it is
of any use to any Of my farmer
friends. planted when putting in
cotton from 10th Of April 10 Is: of
May, on ordinary cotton land. The
seed seem.to be very delicate, and
found it hard to get a stand should
be planted while the land is damp,
and covered lightly. At first the
the plants grow very slowly, not as
fast as the cotton by it, and I do not
think we can plant broadcast ON our
lands. The grass would destroy the
young plants. had TO hoe and
plough mine like the cotton at first,
but one or two ploughingsn and one
hocing would probably do. The
plants by the middle Of September,
grew 5 or feet high and from 3-4 to
l inch thick, (the proper size for
fibre) and should then be cut while
in bloom. The frost caught them be-
fore maturing the seed we'll however,
SO: | did not save any seed, nor
did l keep any of them Us i left all
. | had to, go to seed. a
HoweverSif we would devote, half
The attention we do to cotton TO an
acre of Jute Il am satisfied it would
pay twiceas much with less works
for cotton at s cents will not pay its
expenses on ordinary land.
see it stated that you will have
some seed 10 dispose of, if SO l would
like to get i or 2 pounds to plant
again this spring more carefully.
Yours very truly,
-. Tuos. X. LEGARE.

something or an anomaly in lcgis'a-
-artion.; and isnot, only - matter Of CON
.a7tention between tho. two palties, but
.aleeryes to keep .inhamed sectional ha-
ror%red and party animosities, WHICH
"a sheuld by this time be discarded from
.1apolitics. r. ?
- ,IpK the mere fact Of a man Icing a
ng,Confcderatc during the late war, and
'u giving aid and comfort to cause

IDS TO exclude him from the right of

,oath into existence, ought TO be based
% upon principle, applicable 10 every

or, none. If it'be an anomaly and
not intended as principle, then it is
q. q disgrace TO the nation and an insult
;. to her citizens. Such an irregular
act con neither: protect single right
of citizen nor prohibit wrong, and
ought to be taken from the statute
books; because the only purpose it
can serve is to keep in memory
the wrongs that one section suffers at
the hands Of another, and thus post
pone, ,indefinitely; that return TO order
and peace which the country so much
. needs.
Indeed there can be no permanent
reconciliation SO long as ,hclc is u
single law which shuts out one part
Of our citizens from right that an:
other portion enjoys. The people Of
the North and West are slow in
learning that whilst the people of the
South are disposed to be loyal to the
government of the United States and
will make every effort to defend her
honor and to advance her interest :;
yet the memories Of the past are as
fresh and dear to her citizens now,
IS in the days when they were actu-
ally engaged in defending their con-
stitutional rights against the aggrcs-
sions Of the North. No enactment,
however exclusive in its application,
can ever make Them repent Of the no.
bic part they played in the defense Of
az cause they believed to not only
right but emincntly just. "''

for the murder of Thomas Stephens
last March. Barnes was a reckless
desperate and having a difficulty with
Stephens, in which he was worsted
a few days after he went to Stephens
farm where the latter was at work and
without warning shot him dead He
was arrested and jailed at Mt. Sterling.
His adherents on two occasions set fire
to the town hoping to secure his re-
lease. Barnes was finally removed TO
Lexington for safe keeping, and after
wards brought to Frenchburg for trial.
The jury yesterday found him guilty,
and fixed the punishment to confne-
ment in the penitentiary for ninety
nine years. Barnes swears that he
will never go there. Threats to rescue
him are freely made by his friends who
declare they will kill all who engaged
in prosecuting him. The sheriff has
fifteen men guarding the jail and re-

and explained briefly the nature and

commissions to Messrs. Porter, Guy

briefly, and was followed by Col. CAN'T
in short, earnest speech in which he
paid high compliment to the Shelby
delegation for their faithful and intelli-

The BIOdgett Inquiry.

CHICAGO, February H. In the
Blodgett inquiry DR.. Hamline, a
member of the late grand jury, made
the following extraordinary statement;
| went on the grand jury with some
reluctance and in an unpleasant frame
of mind, because. to the best of my
knowledge and belief, the grand jury
was packed. | got that information
directly from a person whose case
was to be examined before that grand
jury that he was informed that he
might present to the proper authOri-
ties five or six, or six or seven names
of his personal friends, to be placed
upon that jury, of whom he informed
me that | was one. Well, the matter
struck me very unpleasantly. | con-
suited one Of the oldest and ablest
legal gentlemen of the city a
personal friend Of thirty years stand
ing, whether, under the circumstances,
1t was proper for me to serve on the
grand jury. lie asked me if the
knowledge of that fact would affect
my action. | told him it would not,
and he advised me by all means then
to serve. After the grand jury was
charged and assembled a number of
days were devoted to the in,
vestigation Of petty criminal eases.
| mean by that indictments against
men without friends and without
influence. For instance | remember
one case where a man had made two
lead nickels another case where a
white mans negro mistress, being
turned adrift, wrote him scandalous
postal card, and the poor woman was
indicted for il, The major part of
the time was taken up with that class
Of things which were brought before
the grand jury by Judge Bangs,
The district attorney 1t began to be
whispered about among the grand jury
that notorious criminal acts that had
occurred in our midst were not to be
investigated that it was the deteFm-
ination Of the court and its officers
20 prevent such an investiga-
don. The jury then determined
70 take up the important cases them
selves without waiting for the district
attorney They voted to inquire into
the alleged frauds in the construction
Of tho United States custom house
defalcatiou in the postoihee aud the
Register lIibbard case. They sent
for tliS witnesses and required the dis
trict attorney TO produce the papers
the result Has the finding Of indict.
ments in every eRse.
II is understood that the person al
luded to as having been authorized TO
select six Of his personal friends for
the grand jury, was a prominent OK
official concerned in the construction
Of the custom house building, This
testimony does not involve Judge
