The old Democratic idea that 1T is I'M
constitutional and wrong for a section to
ask or take appropriations from the general
government, is played out, and is no lon
ger any use for handful Of congressman
from a small Southern section to fight
against the inevitable, and to cheat their
constituents out of their share Of such ap.
preparations. Such Congressman have
their consciences too refined, and too criti-
cally educated for all practical purposes of
our day and time. For not only all the Re-
publicans of the North and Northwest, but
all the Democrats equally and industriously
strive and grab for as large appropriations
for their sections; and a certain large
amount of the public money has been for
the last twenty years, thus appropriated by
every Congress, and will be hereafter,
whether our section will get or take its
share or not and we will be taxed equally
TO furnish this money, whether we receive
our share of appropriations or not. Then
it would seem the sheerest stupidity and
folly on the part of our Coneressmep-ifnot
gross injustice to their constituents, to stand
by and bubble, cavil, and rant in a long.
winded speech, when the shares of such APP
preparations are being dished out of the
public pot, and refuse or neglect to secure
a large share for their sections, on account
of conscientious scruples. Then we want a
man of shrewd business tact and habits. of
u%ntiring energy and sagacity, and the great
est abilities in congressional fnancering,'

WHAT FRANK HURD SAYS.-Frank Hurd,
the ablest Democrat In the House from Ohio
saws that ext to Grant Gartield's nomina-
lion is the weakest that could have been
made. His record he says, lis very
vulnerable, and he usually runs behind his
ticket in Ohio"
[ asked a we'll known Democratic politi-
clan to night in regard to General Garfield,
and he replied. wooden ~pavements,
Credit Mobilier, railroad jobs, Surrat trial,
electoral commission, &c.
/ met a squad of Democrats TO -nlght, IN
Guiding a number Of the members OF the
House. They were IN high spirits over the
Chicago nomination. They said that the
nomination of Arthur for Fice-President
was even a worse blunder than the selection
Of Garfield. Their idea was that we had
escaped the nomination of their strong men
-Edmunds, Washburne, and Sherman.
Gartield's Chinese speech will, they declair
ed, lose him the Pacific States, His OppO-
sition to the silver bill viii hurt him in the
West, and his political record will put the
Republicans on the defensive from the start.
The opinion is that Sherman will come
to the Senatei In Gen. Garfield's place, if the
latter resigns. Some President makers say
tonight that the nomination Of Garfield
takes Messrs. Thurman, Payne, ana .Jewetl
out of the race.
The negroes to night still tand round IN
squads, and cannot realize that Grant has
been beaten They remind me Of the colored
voters in your city the day after Wells was
beaten by Walker.
Mr.. Bayard's friends say his chrnces have
improved to-day, and that he IS the man to
beat Garfield.

LIME IN AGRICULTURE.-The Journal of
Forestru briefly sums up many of the uses
# lime when applied to the soil. The eff
facts of lime, as will be seen, ale n part
mechanical and in part chemical.
|. Upon deep alluvial and clay soil 1t
increases the crop of potatoes, and renders
them less waxy. %Sprinkled over potatoes
in a store-heap it preserves them, and when
riddled over the cut sets it wonderfully IN
creases Their fertility.
2. Lime eradicates the finger and toe
disease in turnips, and gives greater sound
ness to the bulbs.
2. 1t gives when applied to meadow
land, a larger produce Of more nutritious
grasses. 1t also exterminates coarse and
sour grasses. destroys conch grass, and acts
powerfully upon rye grasses.
Tpon arabic land it destroys weeds
of various kinds.
5. 1t rapidly ~decomposes vegetable mat
ter producing a large amount of food for
plants IN the form OF carbonic acid gas.
G.. 1t destroys or neutralizes the acids IN
the soils: hence its adaptablilty to sour
soils.
7. 1t acts powerfully upon some OF the
inorganic parts of the soil. especially On
the sulphate of iron found in peaty SOILS,
and the sulphate of magnesia and alumlna.
8. 1t proves laIal 10 WoiLho anu 0ioSo.
and the Larvae of injurious insects, though
favorable to the growth of shellbearers.
9. Stacked lime added to vegetable
matter causes it to give eff its nitrogen in
the form of ammonia is combined with
acids, it sets free the ammonia which is
seized upon by the plants.
10. It's solubility in water causes 1T to
sink into and ameliorate the subsoil. When
the soil contains fra gments OF granite OF
trap rocks, lime hastens their decemposl'
ton and liberates the siiicates.
IL. It's combination with the acids IN
the soil produces saline compounds, such as
potash, soda, etc.
y. Strewed over your plants, 1t des,
troys or drives away the turnip fly.
Is. Worked in with grass seeds, the
beneficial effects of lime, chalk, mari, and
shell-sard have been visible fer thirty
years.
IA. Applied to the rot heap, lime ct
fectually destroys The seeds of weeds.
TIC sum it's advantages: when properly
applied to the soil, it puriies and stimulates
it's action, thereby promoting the growth o:
healthy vegetation Of all kinds.

SILK.-It is said that a Persian will soon
establish a silk mandatory at Durham
North Carolina. We do not know anything
more about this peculiar Persian, nor much
about the Shah himself; but we do not
know that this country possesses rare adj
vantages for the development OF the silk
business, and for every other textile indus
try: and perhaps the Old North State offers
the best prospects for its success. The Per-
slams were accounted wise from antiquity,
and this one does no discredit to the tradl-
lions of his race. He may even find IN his
locality the material to rival Tyrian dyes for
color.ng his silks. In proportion to Its
merits the silk industry has received less at
tention than any other In this country. We
have heretofore called attention to the fact
that the mulberry fourishes in almost
every part of the United States and also to
the fact that there are a number of salts
factory substitutes for the mulberry leaf as
food for silk worms. The whole matter
ought speedily to receive the attention Of
practical men of means.-IHe South.
