Politics in Fairfax.

Correspondence of the ALEXANDRIA GAzErrE)
The political tea-kettleis now boiling, and
excitement is on the increase Last Tues
day Barbour and Massey stirred up things
considerably. There is no use trying to
disguise the tact-Massey's speech was a
heavy and telling one. The democrats are
working like beavers and the result of this
work will he felt upon the day Of election
Barbour's plain, straightforward speech
here last Tuesday created Il strong tide of
opinion in his favor. We will do our whole
duty on the eth of next month.
The coalition barbecue at this place on
Saturday came of. II was II rich affair be-
yond doubt. The crowd numbered, no
doubt, three hundred and fifty. divided rs
follows: One hundred white, twenty being
democrats; fifty colored women: twenty.
five boys of both colors half u dozen white
ladies, and one hundred and sylv-nine
black voters
Walker II. MILAN and Job Hawyhurst
presided. The speakers present were His
EXcellency, Toe-nail Cameron, Hayti Langs-
ton, anti-Good Templar Paul and Speller
tarr. Hon. Isaac FELTON,, president OF the
coal-oll-lition club mt this place. hung about
the edge OF the crowd, but was not invited
to seat on the stand. 1t would not sur
prise lis at all if Isaac bolts on the day of
election; he says he can't take everything.
If he can't it is only because he is not bodily
able to lift it.
Without doubt it was The most disordcrly
gang that ever met at public meeting in
this county. The few white men present
certainly were blamed for bringing their
lady friends and relatives. We never be-
fore saw and heard drunken and more
proiane crowd Of negroes, except at Il camp
meeting.
One of the sable maidens succeeded in
starting Il fight with IL youth of her own
complexion and the air was made vocal
with language that would have brought the
blush to the cheek of even John S. Wise ANY
man, claiming to be Virginan and de-
string the good of his State, to vote for a
class OF men cheek by jowl with such
crew as met here yesterday, deserves to be
branded as one deficient in all the virtues
sprlngIng from patriotic and State loving
heart. What! are we to surrender our
State up tothese ignorant, drunken negroes?
Out of every twelve coalitonists nine are
negroes, one is an office holder and two are
seekers for office.
When Mr. Massey spoke here last Tuesday
the crowd was composed of some of our
best men, not q drunken man was in the
court house, and nothing was said or done
to offend the most refined Quite con-
trast to the proceedings of yesterday.
While there are many co!orcd men in our
county who are above doing as did those
who were there yesterday. they are the ex-
ception.
The good people of Fairfax, and their
name is legion, do not intend to let the
party miscalled liberal, have the opportuni-
ty OF degrading Virginia any longer, and
you may put down Fairfax as safe for the
democracy next Tuesday week, and don't
you fail to charge your memory with it.

Why Mr.. Massey Should Be Elected.

ocrat; and he is man of ability
He is opposed to the internal revenue laws
which tax tobacco sixteen cents per pound and
whiskey ninety cents per gallon; and if elected
VIII vote to repeal such laws, and so kill off that
great source of corruption.
He is not willing that the State of Virginia
shall, at the bidding of the Boss, be handed over
to such Administration.
He positively refused. though poor man, to
of his office. r'NN
HIS bittercst enemy will admit the fact that
he has brains. Therefore, if elected to Congress.
he would have the ability to serve Virginia rs
much rs any other man in the State
The very fact that he was the man sthat beat

Congress, and particularly in democratic Hopse
of Representatives, which we arc almost SUR. TO

Mr.. Smith was standing near the speakers
s'a d Mr.. Wise threw glass at him, but it
missed Mr.. Smith aud broke in hundred

drew his pistol, and as he pointed at Mr..
Wise that gentleman said he was unarmcd.

How to Check Cut Worms.

Farmers suffer much loss and incouyeni-
ence every year from the destruction of
their corn crops by cut worms. An exper-
inent tried successfully last year by Mr.
Charles 4. McGaw, of Abingdon district,
Hartford county. Md, i therefore well worth
a trial Mr. McGaw says
Last season / plowed y acres Of timo-
thy sod FIVE years old and planted It in
corn. Fearing loss by cut worms | applied
to the ground 30 bushels of gas house lime
to the acre. At the same time plcwed a
field of wheat stubble Of the same size,
planting it also in corn, and surprising the
cut worms would not modest it. | did not
apply the hpe. The result was that on
the sod ground not a single hill was miss
ing. while on the wheat stubble at least
one-third of the corn was destroyed By these
pests. shall try gas house lime again

The Farming We Need.

A correspondent of the Germantown
TELEGRAPH saws: The time has come when
nothing but high farming will pay in this
section of the country, since the cheap and
fertile lands of the West are brought into
such close and sharp competition by cheap
freights and rapid transit Old habits
which are not now paying must be aban-
doned, and newer and better paying ones
adopted. Every acre of tillable land must
be made to yield its treasure with the least
possible expense. When one hundred bush
els of corn per acre can be produced, we
must not be satisfied with fifty bushels. II
a new implement can do the work of two
men with an old one, the old one should be
laid away and the new one used. 1t there
is not manure enough to go all over the
common ground, we must buy some well
tried fertilizer that will increase the pro
duct. 1t is all folly to continue to farm
poor land when it is possible to enrich 1t,
The expense of farming poor land is greater
than that attending richer land, and the
labor more diseouraging. There must be
more general attention given to dairy pro
ducts, the cultivation of small fruits and
raising of poultry. The old system of pas
turage will have to give way before the on
ward march of soiling and the non-fencing
system. The road master, with his gang OF
full hands and half-grown boys, must yield
to the new road scraper and smoother. To
which we may add that the time has arri-
we'd, even in our neighboring counties, where
more systematic method and higher farming
are expedient in order to produce satisfac-
tory results On our best bottom land the
old corn and hay and clover methods may
vet satisfy the farmer, but even he could
experience benefit by needing the admoni-
tions of the above extract.

cornstalks as Fuel.


An Iowa farmer, who has both coal and
wood OH his farm, warns his house with
eornstalks, and claims that they make the
best and cheapest fuel he can get. dc
uses large stove, and burns the stalks ii
tightly-bound bundles, weighing about forty
pounds each. A bundle burns three hours
(witheut fame) in an air-tight stove The
large stove offers SO much radiating surface
that it does not need to be very hot Five
bundles a day, or 900 for the winter, suf-
fee to keep the stove going and the room
warm. The farmer, Mr. Ruggles, says
II can bind up six hundred bundles Of
cornstaIks in two days alone couldn't
chop the wood to warm this room in a
week. Then in the spring ! have load
of strong ashes for my wheat field, while
my neighbors have to cut up the same corn
stalks in the spring to get them away from
the harrow It makes me smile when
hear about these idiots up in Minnesota
who have fifty-ac eornfelds, and still go
cold or buy coal. Why, Id rather burn
eornstalks than cut maple wood within sight
of the house"
