RAILROAD STocKs.-The Charlotte
Observer Of Friday says: "rhcre has
recently been a very decided rise in
tho stocks Of railroads running into
Charlotte. Charlotte, Columbia and
Augusta stock, which, short, time
ago, was almost down to nothing, was
sold yesterday at fifty; Air Line stock
is worth about thirty-cight, Richmond
e Danville is quoted at sixty-five,
while North Carolina Railroad stock
is now about soventy-ive." 1t will
be welcome news to many people
along the line Of the Charlotte, Co.
lumbia and Augusta Railroad to learn
that the stock of the Company has
reached fifty. The Indications are
that the stock will 90 still higher, and
we presume, therefore, that holders
will not be too quick to sell.

'SO-Called."

A correspondent from Mexico to
the Vandalia Leader says: 1.-The
Leader has won many new friends
and admirers because, of all the So
called Democratic papers it alone re-
pressed the tempting offers of lucre
and refused to sell itself to the base
uses of the enemy. All the others,
which includes the LEDGER and the
Intelligencer, did take lucre and sell
themselves to the enemy We would
like for that correspondent to have
given US a bill of particulars. OF
course he knows whereof he speaks.
We are glad to learn that Ladd took
none of the lucre. AS for Bob White
and Hutton, We have been fearful of
them, but this is the first hint We have
had in that direction. But the worst
stab of all, the unkindest cut, was to
say that non of them were Demo-
cratic papers-only ''so.called.'
We fear this is too true to make a
joke of. But as long as they sail I'M
der the name we think they will be
safe in that direction. 1t won't hurt
Bob White very much, for he is a firm
believer in Bill Shakespeare, who said
that a rose by any other name would
smell as sweet. But Hutton, who
don't swear by the Bard of Avon, and
who begins to see the spire on the
Capitol at Washington as he looks
through Congressional s~pectaclcs,
don't like to be styled only a $50
called Democratic journalist.
We think this correspondent ought
to tell how much lucre they got, who
pail it and in what account and to
what enemy they sold out, or apollo
gize for what he has SAID. At all
events it is an interesting family mat
ter.-Audrain County Press.
We never thought the Press would
quote from the Vandalia Leader. We
are tempted now to quote what the
Leader says about Duncan, but the
campaign is over and we will refrain.
We are not afraid of our Democracy
being questioned. "A tree is known
by It's fruit and a man by his
works. The LtDGER speaks for
itself.

WASHINGTON CITY.
peeial Correspondence of the LEDGER.

Special Correspondence Of the LEDGER.
WASHINGTON, D c., Nov. 29.-It
Is now said that MI. Sherman prefers
to retain his present position to being
the Senator from Ohio. Indeed, it is
rumored he is not the only member of
the Cabinet that would like to be one
of Mr.. Garfield's advisers. If Mr..
Garfield really wants to get rid of
Mr. Sherman, he is likely to encoun-
ter much embarrassment in dealing
with him. Foster had a great deal
to do with the intrigues that stranded
Sherman at Chicago, and on this &C.
count Is supposed to have a strong
hold on Mr.. Garfield and his friends.
He is likely, therefore, to urge Mr..
Garfield to retain Sherman IN order
to escape his competition in the OHIO
Senatorship to which he aspires.
1t seems to be quite natural that
Mr.. Sherman should desire to be
Secretary of the Treasury until the
maturing bonds are either paid off or
refunded. Mr.. Sherman is thought
to favor as rapid a reduction of the
public debt as is practicable, and to
he Of opinion that bonds of short
periods and bearing three and a half
per cent interest can be negotiated.
The skies due at the end of the year.,
which could be paid on presentation,
amount to about thirteen millions.
In 1881, there will tall due two hum
dred and twenty millions of skies, and
four hundred and sixty-nine millions
of fives, of which it Is held the Gov
eminent a safely pay fifty millions
per annum. Some think n hundred
millions of them might be met. Mr..
Sherman, it is reported, inclines to
the former opinion, and will recon-
mend the maturing debts to be re-
newed in short bonds bearing three
and a half per cent. interest, and run
ming one, two, three, four, five, six,
seven, eight, MIN and ten years.
III NV hiah aIoo waits SOlJc Sll-
yer Legislation he is not likely to get
this winter. He wants silver coinage
restricted, and there will be Republl
can as we'll as Democratic opposition
to this. The opponents of his meas
ures declare that silver certificates
are the best circulating medium the
country has, because there is al
ways a dollar for dollar back of them
in the Treasury.
Mr.. Sherman undoubtedly feels
ore towards Mr.. Garfield. He actu-
ally served notice on the President
elect by his published letter that he
asked no favors; but for all that, he
has decided financial views which he
desires to completely carry out. He
has presidential ambitions too, and
knows that IS a successful Secretary
of the Treasury he would sustain the
same and perhaps a better relation
to a nomination than he did at Chi
cago. The question of the continu-
ance of the National Bank system
must be settled during the next four
years, and Mr.. Sherman desires also
TO aid in every possible way it's per-
manency. OCCASIONAL.

Wool Husbandry.

The present duty On wool was the
result of mutual consultations be-
tween wool growers and wool manu-
facturers, continued for many months
and involving mor philosophical in.
vestigation and practical observa-
ton, than are usually devoted to
measures for revenue. Its grand OBJ
.ject and happy result were to recon-
Gle the great interests of agriculture
and manufactures; it developed
sheep husbandry and promoted the
manufacture of wool. In eighteen
years, from 1860. the production of
wool has inc. eased PIG per cent, as
compared with an increase of but 40
per cent in the twenty-four years pre-
ceding 1860. Within that period
Texas acquired her 1000, 900 sheep
with that improvement through mer-
inc, which produced 1900, 900
pounds of wool annually, and Cali
fornia has carried her annual produce
ton Of wool to over so, 900, 900
pounds. In 1877 the entire wool
product was 2Os, 900. 900 pounds, and
the estimated product for 1880 is no
less than $50, DOC, 900 pounds. With
this vast and rapid increase of quanti-
ty the Improvement of quality has
been equally marked.
With such facts as these before US,
we do not wonder that both farmers
and manufacturers insist there shall
be no radical change in the present
duties upon wool and wooden fabrics.

roots are found to be studded with
small citron-shaped bodies just large
enough to be visible to the naked eye.
These are impregnated female round
worms full of microscopic eggs. The
eggs remain in the ground till the fol-
lowing spring when they hatch out
as minute eel-shaped worms, and pro-
coed to suck the tender %rootlets Of the
beet, and to propagate their kind in
the manner just mentioned. That the
disease is produced, at least in a great
degree, by these worms is proved in
the first place by the fact that the
sickness is always accompanied BY
them, while healthy beets never have
them /; and secondly by the experience
that no process of manuring will cure
the disease. The author gives many
interesting particulars; and in regard
to the serious nature Of the disease has
the following:-"In many places this
disease, appearing at first in patches,
has gradually spread itself I'VE SO
large an area that the cultivation of
heets in the district | as ceased to be
profitable. Liebscher of Halle says
that he knows cases where land for
merry giving $50 cwts. of beets on the
average per hectare, and sometimes
even 500 cwts. now only gives 200
cwts. per hectare, although the land is
MANFRED as before or even more high
ly. And it must be added that the
beets, into the bargain, give less sugar
than before. He also alleges that out
of IS sugar factories in the district
around Magdeburg "a have been com
PEELED to stop on account Of the con
tinuaIly extending failure of the
crop" From this last extract it Would
appear that the disease has assumed
alarming proportions in certain dis
tricts +; but the very large quantity of
beet sugar produced in Europe, and
the continued low prices, are suffi-
cient to show us that these districts
must be of very limited area, or are
o than balanced by new extern
sions. The article shews us, however,
that the beet has its dangers as we'll
the cane, and that therefore we are
by no means called upon to give up
the contest in despair, but on the
contrary should initiate the example
Of our rivals in devoting ourselves
with energy and hope to the problems
which lie before us.
