A COVERT rnIiEAr.

The Hon. CARL SCHUWZ some time since
wrote a letter to Hon. JOHN b. HENDER-
SON, of Missouri, which was intended for
the anti-third-term convention, and from
which we extract:
You need not fear that shall remain silent
and inactive when the real tug of war comes,
If il does come, as to my post of duty. Under
such circumstances my mind is fully made up.
The only inference to be drawn from the
above is that if General GRANT shall be
nominated, then General SCHURz will
cease to be silent and Inactive but will
unmask the batteries of his indignation and
hostility and let slip the dogs of war"
against the determination of the Chicago
convention. Now, we suppose, if under the
vicissiiudes of politics the convention should
select another than General GRANT as the
standard-bearcr of the opening campaign,
General SCHURz will assume that his war
manifesto intimidated and controlled its
action, and that the credit Of the defeat of
General GRANT belongs to his own trench
ant strategy and power If on the other
hand the convention shall place the repub
lican banner in the hand of General GRANT,
then this pensioner upon republican favor
will feel called upon to repeat the role of
1872, and graciously enroll his name on the
roster of the democracy aud take his
chances on that side for something to turn
up. This is II legitimate inference from the
latest utterrnces of this distinguished itin
Grant politician who alternates between the
two parties as opportunity may invite.
| Now, one strong reason why we should
desire the nomination Of GRANT is that it
would be likely, for one term at least, to
purify the republican party of it's DUGALD
DALGETTYs and leave its interests and
destinies in the hands of those who were
never known to betray lis principles or
desert its cause under the temptations of
disappointed ambition or the mercenary
promptings of a search for plumber in the
camp of the enemy. The party needs
| publication from such elements. The pres
ent administration has caused the republi-
can party TO suffer from them, and hence
the future should be well guarded against
| them

ABOUT THE SILVER.

A bill has been prepared for presentation TO
the house of representatives which provides
that subsidiary coinage in packages not to ex-
coed four pounds will be shipped at the gov
ernments expense to applicants in exchange
for lawful money. The bill is intended to Of.
feet general distribution of small change.
Under the present laws the silver accumuatcs
in the large cities is then sent to the treasury
and is locked up in the vaults. There are
S23,OO0,00O there now, aud in the country
much Inconvenience is caused by the lack of
change Exchange.
If the secretary of the treasury would
order paymasters in the army to use at
least one-half silver when paying troops
and if he should so pay all civil employees
of the army west of the Mississippi, he
soldiers and employees, and get rid of his
plethora Of silver without any more new
laws. The south, too, could absorb n
large part of the secretary's "glut" of silver.
Let the secretary sec that all the en-
ployes of the government engaged on public
works in the SOUTH such as internal i'm
provements and public buildings, arc paid
partly in silver, and the plethora would
disappear and never reappear The work
ing classes of the south, white aud colored,
have n warm liking for coin, and u very
large amount would be absorbed perma-
nently by them for savings. We believe
not less than fifty millions year would be
so taken by the south, which would never
be returned to the treasury.
Paying congressman and clerks here
partly in silver and paying out silver in
the cities is very transparent device tc
cause silver to become nuisance" I
there was an honest desire to put the silver
in circulation instead of dishonest de
termination to make silver unpopular, there
would be no need of sending it about tho
country in four-pound packages.

Salt on Wheat.
Lexington (Ky.) Transcript

Lexington (Ky,) Transcript
w. T. Hearne, of this county, one
of the most successful as well as sci
entifc farmers in Kentucky, after
testing the valuable fertillzjDg quail
tiles of salt sown with small grain,
is convinced that the yield of wheat
is largely increased thereby. Last
year he sowed salt with portion Of
his wheat, and the yield was much
greater than on other portions not
sown with it. This year he has eighty
acres of wheat, on all of which he has
sown salt. He also applied it to his
oats, as he says it certainly ought
to be good for that crop too. The
experiments made by Mr. Hearne have
induced large number of Kentucky
farmers to try this fertilizer, and we
hear of its being sown by farmers in
other Countree,
