EAsToN, Nd, April 9.-Tne judg-
meut Of the court IN the Jump Melvin
case, at Denton, was pronounced today.
The court said that although they had
taken into consideration all the clrcum-
stances Of the case and its sad results,
they could not forget the great provoca'
ton leading to the assault. This to-
gether with the good character Of the
accused, as testified to, had induced
the court To impose an entirely different
sentence than would have been inhic'
ted in a similar case under different
circumstances. Mclyin was then sen
fenced to pay fine Of 81 and coats and
be imprisoned in the county Jail fol
sixty days. He received the judgmen
u the court with the quiet demeauol
which has characterized him throughout
the trial.

Mr.. GarfieId's Policy Toward

Elk Senator Lewis, Of Virginia.
W as at the White House to-day
with delegation of colore1 Re
publicans of that State. They saw
the President and had an interview
with him relating to the policy of
the Republican party OF Virginia
1t was urged upon the President
that he encourage the liberal move
ment as it had been developed of
late, especially as regarded the
position of Senator Malone and
what had grown out OF it IN the
State. The President replied that
he was fully in sympathy with that
movement. and will do all in his
power to foster it. He thought it
the proper policy for the Republi-
cans to pursue, that they should
coalesce with the disaffecied ele-
ments of the Demo cratic party
whenever such action was not in
conflict with their interests. Such a
course, he thought, would conduce
building mp the strength of the
party. He did not, he said, endorse
the position assumed by the ultra.
Republicans in Virginia, who OPP
posed any coalition with Senator
Malone and his followers, and
were strong in advocating that he
should receive no support or coun
tenance from the "straight-out'
Republicans. - Wash. Star.
We are glad that all this bargain
and sale between the Republican
administration and Mr.. Malone has
taken place on the eve of our State

PLANTING SEEDS.

r. II. Shumway, in his catalogue
for this year, gives some practical
hints on planting seeds which are
worth remembering. First, he
emphasizes the importance OF plant
ing in proper season. He says:
The early and most hardy species
and varieties should not be planted
until the ground can be brought
into good condition, as some
species Of plant, that in an ad-
vanced state of growth will stand a
hard winter, are often cut off by 8
very slight frost while young, es-
pecially if exposed to the heat OF the
sunafter a frosty night. To guard
against disappointment, reserve
some Of the seed for q later SOW
ing. Some species of seed, such as
beans, beets, cabbage, lettuce, rad
ish, satisfy, turnip, &C., being from
their nature apt to vcgetate quick
II, are often liable to be deyoured
by insects within forty-eight hours
after they are sown and before a
plant is seen above ground, unless
suitable remedy be applied in time
10 destroy them. Some species,
such as carrot, celery, leek, onion,
parsley, parsnip, spinach, &C.,
being naturally of tardy growth
taking Gn unfavorable sea
,sons) from two to four weeks to
vegetate-are apt to perish through
incrustation of the soil or other cir,
cumstances which cannot always be
controlled. That failures often oc-
cur through seed being deposited
too deep in the ground or left too
near the surface. Sometimes, for
want of sufficient seed in given
spot, solitary plants perish for want
of strength to open the pores of the
earth, and very often injudicious
management in manuring and pre-
pairing the soil will cause failures.
In sowing of seed remember that
in unity there is strength, and from
the germinati7e parts of a seed be-
ing weak and diminutive it cannot
be. expected to perforate through
the soil solitary and alone. To in
surn fair chance plant your seed
moderately thich and tim out the
surplus plants while young. In
planting seeds in drills, which is
the most desirable pls the size of
the seed and strengtn of it's germ
should be considered. Large seed,
producing vigorous roots, require
deeper planting than diminutive
seed producing delicate roots and
slender stalks. The smallest kind
Of seed should not be covered more
than a quarter Of an inch deep.
