RUST IN COTTON.

A correspondent of the Orange
burg (South Carolina) Democrat
gives some experiments which are
worthy of repetition, and we pre-
sent them to our readers, with the
hope that they will try them and
give us the results, SO that, if sue
cessful, others may be benefited
thereby. He says:
'In 1873 I applied fifty bushels
of unleached ashes to the acre of
land that had been rusting cotton
badly. The cotton remained green
until frost, and matured fruit to the
top, while the adjoining cotton
failed to mature any top crop, some
of II dying with rust the LIST of Sep
TENDER. That strip of land has not
rusted cotton since.
The following year one of nv
hands put Il sack of Kainit or Ger
man potash on one acre, through
the middle of II seven acre patch of
cotton. The land had been in cul-
tivation four years, light, sandy oak
land, and rusted cotton badly. In
the fall it was pleasure to show
this acre strip to my friends. While
the cotton OH both sides of it was
denuded of leaves and all the top
bolls dead before half grown, this
acre remained green until frost.
and matured its fruit to the top.
This last experiment itself was
evidence conclusive to nv mind
that potash was the remedy for rust
in cotton. l have since noticed the
same results i'll similar experiments.
l believe that land thoroughly
drained, and no other, should be
planted Ill. cotton, and not entirely
destitute of vegetable matter; pot
ash III every instance tends to cor
rect the tendency to rust in cotton.
by rest and rotation the ten
dency to rust can be corrected in n
great measure, but when lands are
planted every year, and clay is not
near the surface, potash must be
supplied, either by an unlimited
amount of trash and litter from the
woods, stable manure, ashes, or
some of the commercial prepara-
tions of potash"

The committee appointed by the
Legisla ture to investigate the charges
against Representative Heidenhain, for
making corrupt proposals to member
of the city government, found that the
charge was sustained by the evidence,
and recommended that. he be expelled.
This the Ho use refused to do, by vote
of 81 yeas to 80 yeas-being little less
than the necessary two-thirds.

Grant declined to accept the hospitah-
ties of New Orleans, extended to him by
the Mayor and Council. stating that he
expected to return home by way of Texas.
But it seems now that he has changed
his mind, and the Customhouse officials
are making great preparations to receive
him. This looks like genuine article

POLICE JURIES.

Senate bill No. lis, reported by
the Committee on Corporations and
Parochial Affairs, relative to Police
Juries and the appointment of Po-
lice Jurors, until the next general
election, was passed by q yeas to
2 nays. The following is the bill in
full:
SEC. l. BE 1t enacted by he Gene
raj assembly Vhe State Of Louisiana,
That the term of office of all Police
Jurors in this State shall terminate
Oh the first day of April, 1880; and
that it shall be the duty of the
Governor, Immediately after the
PRONUNCIATION of this act, to appoint
their successors, by and with the
advice and consent of the Senate.
SEC. 2. That the Police Jurors
appointed with the provisions of
the foregoing section, shall hold
their offices until the next general
election, and until their successors
be qualified. In case any Police
Juror shall remove from the ward
from which he may have been APP
pointed, his office shall be ipso tacto
vacant.
SEC. ). The members of the Po-
lice Juries, appointed under this
act, Shall meet at their respective
Courthouses on the first Monday
in April, 1880, and proceed to or
ganlze at II O'Clock NJ, by electing
one of their OWE body as President,
and other officers III accordance
with existing laws.
Our Police Jury, at its last meet
ing, adjourned to meet on the first
Monday in April; but it will be
seen by the above act, that their
term of Office expires on the first
aay of April, which will be Oh
Thursday proceeding the first Mon
day. In order that the present
Board may close up all unfinished
business they may have on hand,
it will be necessary for the Presi-
dent to call them together before
the first day of April (say Monday,
the 29th of March,
As to how the new Jury will be
constituted, we are unable to say.
But we infer, from the language of
the second section, relating to
any Police Juror who "shall remove
from the ward from which he may
have been appointed" that one
member will be appointed from
each ward. If this is the case, the
new Police Jury in our parish will
consist of ten members, as at pres
ent, although it is the opinion of
many of our citizens that five or
six members could transact the
business equally rs well, and with
less expense to the parish.

COTTON FACTORY.

ton factory ill our parish should not
be allowed to go by default, for
want of energy and enterprise on
the part of our citizens. The fact
that the profits of converting our
cotton crop into yarn are over
two-thirds on the amount invested
or 1920 on permanent outlay of
$633S, should in itself be sufficient
to insure the early completion of
the enterprise, without the addi-
tional advantage guaranteed by the
Constitution, that capital SO invest
ed shall be exempt from license and
taxation for period of ten years.
The establishment of these small
factories is being urged by every
paper in the South, as safe and
sure means of securing our COM
mercial independence and pros
perity. The New Orleans Demo-
crat gives the following facts of in
terest in regard to the Clement
Attachment:
First-That it costs less than the
ordinary spinning machinery now
used used In New England.
Second-That it produces a far
better and more marketable article
by reason of its using cotton direct
from the seed, instead of cotton
that has been ginned and pressed.
Third-That it can be operated
without skilled labor-is perfectly
strong and simple-and is there
fore cheap.
Fourth-That it will make the
South a producer of manufactured
goods, and furnish employment to
thousands who are now oilers and
consumers.
! Fifth-That it retains to the pro-
ducers of cotton ut least 80 per
cent. of the money which now goes
to middle men, and therefore to
that extent enriches the section.
With everything in its favor, we
see no reason why our citizens
should not establish one of these
factories in our parish in time for
the next cotton crop. Messrs. ]. |
i. Smith and j. Cahier, two of our
most substantial citizens, are en-
deayoring to establish stock COM |
pany for this purpose. They are
willing to invest $1,000 each in the
enterprise, and it is their desire to
secure ut least eight more stock
holders, SO that, with a capital of
$4,000, the machinery can be pur-
chased, and everything placed in
readiness to commence the manu-
facture of yarn, as soon as the
necessary seed cotton can be pro
cured. We feel confident that this
factory will be completed in
the not very distant future, and
it would be much better for
our citizens to combine and build
it, than to invite, by indifference to
their best interests the investment
of capital from abroad for this pur-
pose. We urge our citizens to give
this subject their careful considera-
ton, and set the ball in motion at
once. "The beginning is the half
of the whole.

At the borough election at Willimantic, Monday, the Republicans elected their entire ticket by an average majority of over 15O on all except the warden, who from local causes ran behind his ticket, but was elected by 53 majority This is handsome gain from last year.
 The Democrats had the strongest ticket they have ever nominated and the victory is all the more significant.
 Democratic Parade and Flag Raising.
 Democratic parade and flag raising took place last evening. The flag was raised at the southeast corner of Grand and Franklin streets, in front of the Ransom house, where platform was erected. There was quite a show of banners, flags and transparenoies Ex-Alderman Thomas F. McGrail called the meeting to order and introduced Judge York who spoke for short time and was followed by others. The Second Regiment Hancock Guards paraded The InGerson Phalanx and English Phalanx were in the procession. There was a throng of people on Grand street at the scene of the raising. Hilarity abounded and the people seemed to be enjoy ing themselves, and paying very little atten- tion to the orators. A party of singers on a piazza a short distance from the speakers stand seemed to be practicing Hancock and English songs, boys up on trees shook down dead leaves on the crowd underneath, and there was much shouting and frolicking.
