WHEN?

When the cool, gray clouds of evening,
Give way to the shadows of night,
And the last long ray of sunset
Has faded far ont from the sight:
When the first warm blush of the moon
light
Dispells the dark shades of the grove
And the soft night winds of the wood
lands
Breathe lightly the whispers of love;
When the earth is enwrapped in silence,
And hushed are the voices OF day;
When even the feathered songster
Has ceased from his merry lay,
Oh! then will You list to the music
My soul echoes fondly and true?
And then twill you breathe the glad
tidings
Ny soul longs to hear, love, from You;

The Senate Committee on Priv
leges and Elections, in taking action
on the Spofford case, have
decided to report to the Senate two
resolutions, one declaring that Vim.
p. Kellogg is not entitled to seat
in the Senate from Louisiana for
the term of six years, beginning on
the 4th of March, 1877, and the
other declaring that Henry NJ.
Spotford was duly elected for that
term, and entitled to the seat now
occupied by Kellogg. The resolu-
tions will be submitted to the Sen
ate in few days, with IL report in
favor Of their adoption. The Repub-
lican members of the committee
will present a minority report,

acres planted.

more acres planted.
"After thorough preparation of
the land, the most approved way of
applying it is in the drill, at the
rate of $50 to 500 lbs. per acre.
"By following cotton thus ma
nured with corn OF oats, the in
creased production over unmanured
land is considerable. The best way
to apply it to corn has not been
fully determined by experiments
vet. We have had good results by
dropping single handful in the
furrow to each hill of corn, the first
blowing. My opinion is, however,
that broadcasting, OH well prepared
land, and narrowing in before plant
ing, will give the best results. At
ter three years experience with the
compost, it has never failed to do
well when applied to any crops. 1t
has given entire satisfaction on the
following crops: Cotton, corn, sweet
and Irish potatoes, beans, cabbage,
turnips, beets, satisfy, carrots, par
ships and watermelons.
I'm conclusion, let me say, if we
will keep stock off of our cultivated
lands, and return to them every
thing that remains after gathering
the crop. then keep up good sys-
TEN of rotation, 50 as to keep the
lands well filled with humus, and
use high grade of acid phosphate
for composing with cotton seed
and stable manure, We cannot use
any better or cheaper fertilizer.
With it we may expect and will
realize paying crops.

KEARNEY MUST GO.

Judge Rix, of the Police Court
in San Francisco, delivered long
opinion last Wednesday, in the case
of Dennis Kearney, who was arrest
ed on the charge of using vulgar
and threatening language in his
speeches. The court decided that
kearney was guilty, as his language
had tendency to provoke a breech
of the peace. He therefore SEN
fenced Kearney to six months i'm
prisonment in the House of Correc-
ton, and to pay fine of $1,000.
The severity of the sentence was q
surprise to Kearuey, who had ex-
pected to get off with nominal
punishment. He will probably
take an appeal to the Supreme
Court.
A meeting of the Presidents of
all the Worklngmeh s Climbs In the
city was held last Tuesday, at
which resolutions were offered de-
claring in unmistakable language
against Kearney, and disclaiming
all sympathy with the Sand Lot
agitators, as well as all acts, express
sions or harangues tending to bring
the Workingmen's organization into
disrepute.
An important conference was
also held, the same day, at the
Mayors Office, between Mayor Kali
Loeb, representing the Workingmen,
and a number of prominent citizens,
merchants, bankers. etc, ON the
part of the Citizens Protective
Union, and it is believed that in a
few days arrangements will be con-
summated which will insure har-
monious and honorable settlement
of the questions which have so long
vexed the community.

FERTILIZERS AND THEIR
APPLICATION.

From the Alabama Farm Journal
The following paper was read by
Capt. W. L. Webb, before the Far
mer's Club of Talladega, ut one of
its recent meetings. Capt. Webb's
success as u planter entities him to
be heard on this subject, and we
commend his views to our readers:
1t is as important to know how
to feed the land to produce crops as
it is to know how to feed orr do
mestic animals. To learn how to
aid Nature upon economical princi-
pals, is the information which we
are seeking. We assume that God
has given us the first unerring ex-
ample rs to the manner we should
treat the earth to keep up and
maintain productive soil. From
His hand we find it well covered
with vegetable matter, and to a
depth OF eight or ten inches sup
piled with humus, which is the first
important step III keeping up or
improving any soil. Without this
| condition Ill our cultivated lands,
the best results cannot be obtained
by the application to our crops
either of stable or concentrated
manures.
There is no telling to what de-
gree of fertility lands can be
brought up to with fallow crops
red clover, rye and peas. Flowing
IN clover, after taking off of the
land one hay crop, and allowing u
seed crop to mature, according to
DR.. VGlkers investigations in 1868,
estimated by the acre, the soil con-
tanned Sl26 pounds of nitrogen;
when two hay crops was cut, there
was only found $3.50 pounds of
nitrogeL, showing difference of
2S76 pounds in favor of the acre
tnaS produced a crop of seed. This
shows the advantage of allowing
fallow crops to mature seed. There
is no crop that will surpass clover
III adding fertility to- the soil. 1t
keeps the surface covered with
vegetable matter, and the earth to
"a depth of eighteen inches filled
with humus, which adds fertility to
the soil rs it decomposes. At this
point you may ask the question:
How are we to get clover to grow
on poor or exhausted lands? / will
try to tell you. And here I desire
to say that 1 do not believe there is
one acre of land so poor and ex-
hausted that clover will not grow
Oh it, after being well prepared
with fifty bushels of cotton seed
narrowed in, if it is top-dressed
with one bushel of land plaster, two
bushels of wood ashes, one peck OF
salt. Without the aid of manure,
the value of clover fallow is well
understood to be one of the very
best preparations that we can get
for the cereals. If, however, we
have no faliows of this kind, and
propose to continue our old STAN
dard Of farming for all of the small
grain crop have found no better
manure than cotton seed, say about
fifty bushels per acre; bqt | regard

Executive, and the open threat of
military methods suggested in. the
cry for strong government.
The Democracy of the South
know of no shield SO potent for the
protection of the liberties of the
people and the union of the States
us the brave heart and clear intelli-
gence of that upright patriot and
gallant soldier who. when entrusted
with the power that makes tyrants
of bad men, protested that the only
guarantee for the nations hopes
WAS in the snbordination Of the
military 10 the civil power. Cor
ruption, nepotism, debauchery in
high places. ontrages on individual
rights and the plundering of States
have come with military methods
and Republican usurpations. We
tender to the country u return to
the simple faith of our fathers. We
present IL Union soldier without re-
proach-a General i'll the field, i'll
peace Il Statesman and O Patriot.
We present a name without spot
or faint, which will give confidence
and security to all interests and all
sections. Of calm judgment and
wise foresight, the name of W. S.
Hancock will kindle enthusiasm
throughout the length and breadth
of the country, and with the en-
thusiasm will go the conviction that
his election can never be evaded or
set aside by Republican trickery OF
Republican buster.
Democracy means protection to
the rights of the people, protection
to material interests, economy in
government, official responsibility
to the law, and permanence and
power in the national government
based upon the integrity and invio-
liability Of local self-9overnment.
The South places its trust in Gen
W. S. Hancock as the one states
man who will enforce these doc.
trines; who, while he defends the
Union, will also protect the integ.
rity of the States and the rights o
individuals.
Louisiana, desolated by war and
Republican reconstruction, remem.
bers her protector and friend. and
gratefully holds up to her sister
States his name for the Presidential
nomination.
The address was also unanimous
ly adopted.
On motion of Senator Robertson
papers throughout the State favor
ing the nomination of Gen. Han
cock were requested to publish thu
address.
The President then requested
that names should be handed t.
him from the various wards of TIN
city, and also from the Compression
al Districts, as members of tn,
Executive Committee.
Dr.. Luckett made motion
which was adopted, that each mem
Der of the Legislature in favor o

mittee of his parish, to inaugural

GEN. 81. S. HANCOCK.

A meeting of the friends and sup
porters of General Winfield Scott
Hancock WAS held in the Hall of
the House of Representatives, New
Orleans, last Wednesday night,
ex-Gov. John Memory presiding,
and Col. r. c. Wood and Mr.. Louis
Richards acting as secretaries.
Ex-Goy. McEnsry related the
circumstances attending the call of
the first meeting of the friends Of
Gen. ". s. Hancock, and the APP
pointment of a committee, who, af-
ter an exchange of views, had agreed
to meet at this place with all citi-
zens who favored the nomination of
Gen. Hancock for President 10y the
Cincinnati Convention. The COM
mittee had been requested to pre-
pare an address. which would be
read.
Col. Thos. Il. Handy offered the
following:
Resolred, That the chairman OF
this meeting, with a view to the or
ganization Of Hancock Clubs i'll this
city, be and he is hereby authorized
to appoint committee of seyen-
teen, one member thereof to be Sc
lected from each ward in the city.
And the chairman of this meeting,
in order to organize movement III
favor of Gen. Hancock throughout
this State, is authorized to appoint
an executive committee for the State
of eighteen, to be SELECTED from the
Congressional DISTRICTS of the State.
The resolution was unanimously
adopted,
Col. James Lingan then read the
following
In assuming the initiative where
we have SO long followed, IN the
matter of choosing standard bear.
Ell, it is deemed proper that the
considerations which impelled t.
this course should be made known
The Convention assemblies to choose
our Presidential candidate earlier

cans, drilled and disciplined under
Executive patronage and Govern
nent pay, hold continued caucus or
party men and measures, the
Democracy have scarcely quietef
the rivalrles and chickering's of for
mer campaigns, on the very eve o
the most momentous struggle tha
America has ever presented.
The South feels that something
must be done quickly to heal til,
dissensions of political rivals il

and confidence that will unite al
