tions were made to-day by counsel for Ir-
win to the entry offered in the Court of
Common Pleas by the contestant

the Court as well as the conclusions of
fact, in order to enable the District Court
to determine whether the judgment of this
Court in ousting Mr.. Irwin from office was
correct.
Captain Foraker and Mr.. McDougall con-
tended that it was sufficient to set ou+ the
conclusions of the Court from the facts,
and that that was all the law required.

whole matter tomorrow morning.

Farming in the SOuth.

The opinion so generally prevails that
farming in the South is no longer profit
able, because the white man does not care
for farm work, and the black man does
not know how to do it, that few believe
any statements that appear once in a
while, that some few have made some
money out of it: But the Virginia Agricus-
tural Society's Monthly Joas1nal is willing
to testify to one case of profit. It says :
"a gentleman from Charlotte county,:
whose name, were we to give it, would be
ample guaranty for the truth Of any state
ment he makes, called in at the AgricM-
twraz Office not long since and gave us a
most cheering account of his successful
farming since the war. He told US that
he had employed now the negro hands
who had been continuously with him
since the emancipation, and although he
kept no overseer and did not give to his
farming operations the close personal at
tention he bestowed in his younger days,
yet his crops were as we'll cultivated, his
stock as we'll cared for as formerly, and
that he had made money year by year
Notwithstanding the low prices of farm
products. Amongst other things he spoke
Of corn crops from eight to ten barrels,
wheat from fifteen to twenty three bush
