Judge CalhoOh on the Prevalent
@FFG - EEine.
fazoo Sentinel


The Judges charge to the Grand
jury ON Monday last was we'll
timed, He dyelt long upon the
necessity of the Jaryifhding an in
dietment whenever the law has
been violated, against the person
SO violating it, however high might
be his standing msthe- community
or however Insignificant. The
Judge said we have the best code
of criminal laws that we're any
where compiled, but owing to the
want of proper endorsement of
the same. eri lne had become bold
and widespread throughout the
land; that it no longer sought con-
cealment, but was committed in
,braad aaylisht apd.upaa-the high
Fays. Esp erials ras this true of
purNhf. EoF ak yeafs he had
charge the Grand JuIfes in this
District ten times each year and
had said and was still of the same
opinion, that Ae wan, not even the
Judse q fol leman' of the jury, had
any sssirahce,A 30 far as the pro-
lection afforded by the law is eoIf-
cerned, that upon leaving the
Courthouse his brains would not
be blown out and the perpetratoI
of the deed go unpunished. If
the culprit was a man of wealth
and influence, the chances were
sevenwout of ten that the law
wouldnot bd enforced; if poor
insignificant man the law would be
as grossly violated the other way
and a mob would hang him. In
either case the effect was the same
"A total disregard of the law, This
state Of affairs was most rtiihous
in its influences upon society, and
indicated a. diseased public senti
ment, utterly opposed to true civ
ilization. The opinion had become
too common that an insult had to

Party Insulting. The hw gave an
adsquate re1pedy in a i 1daqgiasc suit
aud It was evidence OF Tar greater
bravery, under the present public
sentiment, to resort for redress to
the law than to take the law in
ones hands. What our country
most needed was peace, not the
music of the shot gun and revolv
er, but the whistle Of the plow boy
and the song of the milkmaid. q

The Democrat In Mississippi.


Among the best and strongest
defenders and advisers of the Dem
ocratic party during the canvass
just closed, the able New Orleans
Democrat is worthy of special
mention. 1t has taken more inter
est in and done more in aid of the
Democratic party in Mississippi
than any other paper of any State,
and with more enlarged and bet
ter effect. The southern part of
the State, where it has the largest
circulation, is significant of this
fact. And even if it was not 9TH
erwise one of the staunchest of
Democratic journals and best
newspapers of the Union, the Dem
ocrats of Mississippi owe it debt
of gratitude which they may well
repay with liberal patronage.
To the above well-merited notice
from the Holly Springs South we
would like to add that the full and
mastery dispatches of Gen. JAS.
Dugan, published in the New Or
leans Democrat, did more real ser.
vice to the Democracy of Missis-
sippi than any other one thing dur
ing the late canvass. Gen. Dugan
made many warm friends in Mis-
sissippi, and this people will not
forget the magnificent paper he
represcnted.-Scnafohia Record.

Cotton Seed Oil Mills for Plantations.
PLANTERS Journal.l


One of the most alarming fea-
lures at present and in the future
to the farWings Interests of our |
country, is the deterioration of
lands from imperfect drainage and !
improper ealtivatiyns brought
about solely by the murderous |
share and tenant systems ofplant.
ing. '--real slfs.i tFl.si--if 90
While we are convinced that |
neither our planters or their prop
erty can ever attain maximum
prosperity under any but well
and intelligcntly directed wages
system of labor, the unfortunate
fact remains that those are the pre-
yalent systems, and we must make
the best of them. ..... msl 4
Any economy, therefore, that
would be beneficial under the
wages system, would be doubly
imperative under the present, and
it is for this reason that we value
SO highly, so important. an innova-
ton as the plantationcotten seed,
oil mill.
The machinery of this mill has
been gotten up on the simplest
possible plan, so that an ordinary
field hand may be able to run it
after a very brief Instruction, man.
ufacturing as much oil and cake
per ton of seed as the larger mills,
thus enabling the planter to util.
ize the cake to fertlize his worn
out lands and feed his stock, and
sell the oil and hulls for more
money than is now commanded
for the seed. ....,i
We have in our Office a most ex-
celleht sample of the cake which
we saw made at the works of the
manufacturer in Cincinnati, by a
very small model of the mill,
which convinced us that the mill
Of regular size would do all that is
claimed for it.
1t is due TO our readers who arc
so deeply interested in the subject
to state, however, as yet no mil
has been erected on a plantation,
and until we see its practical work
ing III this manner, we must defer
our emphatic endorsement.
Several prominent members Of
our Association have ordered mills
and they are expected to be il
working order on their plantations
within the next two months, whel
we will take great pleasure in pub
fishing the exact result.
In our August number, we al
luded editorially to this subject
without giving the address Of thu
manufacturers, and were over
whelmed by more than five hun
dred inquiries from planters
throughout the cotton States, from
Georgia to Texas, so much so, tina
we were totally unable to reply Il
them, and our friends must accept
this article as reply to all.
The address of the manufactur
ers is, the MCGOWAN Pump Com
pany, l4l, West Second street
Cincinnati. and we refer our read
ers to their card, which they vii
find among our advertisements.
The firm do a large business
and our information leads MS to
believe their guarantees in rogart
to work are reliable, and it is bu
just to state that the reason M
mills have yet been erected b,
them is because they were behint
in their work in carrying out othel
contracts.

a neao theory OF the conversion OF
bar iron into steel by the cementation
process has been advanced bv Mir. R.
5. Marsden. He attributes the result
to the diffusion of the carbon
In the condition Of an impalpable pow
der into the heated iron. and he be-
icves that silicon can diffuse itself in
a similar way through iron. This ac-
ton Of carbon in iron Is analogous to
tho penetration of red-hot porcelain
cruciblc by carbon, n phenomenon
which was observed and commented
upon by the author some time ago.

LIME IN THE TEA KETTLE.-Every
goou housewife knows that an iron
kettle used Tor heating water that
holds lime in solution, Will in a short
time become coated with that sub
stance. This being a poor conductor
OF heat, it will Of course take longer
time to heat the water than when the
kettle is new. Copper or tin vessels
DO not become coated with lime. The
reason is that iron has al affinity for
lime which the other metals have not.
But this affinity can be overcome by
coating the inner surface OF the vessel
with compound Of tame acid aud
iron, which is soluble in water and
will not prccipItate lime. This Is
easily done. Take new tea kettle and
put handful Of oak bark into it, fiji
with water, and keep it boiling for
three or iour hours, ,iill it up from time
To time as The water bolls away. The
iron Will get Il jet black Coat Of tan
llLe OF iron and will be proof against
lime. Care must be taken tnut the
hcttle does not boil dry and become
heated tu rcdness. a heat Il little be-
low that point will deetl oy the coating.
Ii the lime can DC fully removed from
an old tea Kettle, it can DO coated in
The same manner as Il new one. but
Will lCqulro longer time, and per.
maps IL Will bo necessary 10 repeat the
