Nay, not so. The act OF Congress pro-
yides in explicit terms that il such a vacancy

after receiving notice OF it proceed TO elect
a senator tn fill it, That second Tuesday
can't come before the 4th Of March.

Texas-Immlgration

The constant reports from Texas of bomi-
ciaes Of all sorts would be ludicrous II they
were not disgraceful 10 the people OF mat
State. There would seem to be no form OF
fatal assault which is not familiar 10 our
Texas brethren. The fact, however, to which
We wish TO direct the attention OF our north
ern brethren is that rot outstanding the large
number of homicides in Texas that STATE
has increased in population much more
rapidly than Virgins, where life is heId as
sacred rs in New England. Northern Jour-
nails, especially those Of the stalwart stripe,
not unfrequontly declare that the southern
people need not expect immigrants to turn
their steps towards the southern states until
the papers shall have ceased TO report tue
prevalence Of violence in those States. Lee
.ture after lecture has been delivered upon
this text.
The facts are directly against the theory
OF our northern advisers. Virginia, wnlch
has next 10 10 complaints made OF her on
the score Of unlawiulness and violence, has
not increased in population as rapidly as
South Carolina, the State in whicht The Ham
burg massacre occurred, and in which the
kuklnx are said II be, or to have been
lately, very numerous. The case Of Texas,
however, is so remarkable that we give the
figures. The population OF Texas IN 1870
was s1s,s99. Her population in 1880 was
LOCO. 900! 1t has increased by almost eX-
actly fifty per cent. 1t is useless TO argue
against the iacts-tbe fgures-the census.
These declare Enthusiastically that, in spite Of
her innumerable crimes, Texas has grown
more rapidly than any other southern State.

speaking on the bill providing for buying
seeds, &C., &C., aud for paying all the ex-
penses OF the Department OF Agriculture.
He SAID
81 have here two samples [hOldine them
up IN either band] of the sugar which the
Department manufactured 10 large quanti-
ties, one from cornstaks and one from
sorghum. Aud according TO these expert
ments the cost 81 producing such pure light
sugar from sorghum Is only three cents per
pound, while the duty en- the same quality
OF sugar, II imported. as was told this
very morning In the Treasury Department,
would he three cents and forty.four hun
dredths OF cent per pound. In other
words, we eau In the Northwest produce
pure sugar for less than the duties upon II
to day. 0ne thirty-fourth part tf the state
which have the honor 10 part TO represent
can produce as much sugar per annum as
we now import.
"In other words, 1,0391s2 acres out Of
the 35 226, 500 acres OF aliuyial lands IN the
State OF Iowa can produce an amount OF
sugar equal TO the importations into this
country OF that article at a cost less than the
duties now paid upon sugar. Our imports
OF sugar, syrups, &C., during the last fiscal
year amounted TO 1,727, l2l,Sl6 pounds, and
cost, including duties, $i3l, 100000. The
experiments at the Agricultural Depart
ment show an average product pei

besides syrup, 800 pounds. This result
was produced with experiments upor
some very poor varieties OF sorghum
mixed IN with the better. These will bG

sugar at eight cents per pound. we have FOL

Il, must be borne in m!pd that ihe sor
