foreman of the Jury, who has gained
some noteriety by reason Of his ex-
cessive virtue, which he has indus
triously advertised since it is.known
that he was bribed, was a henchman
of the famous Boss" Shepherd who
ran the city of Washington some $780,
600, 900 in debt and although demo-
crat always did the bidding of the re-
publican "boss" in the halcyon days

they would in all probability have
taken Dickson.

Mr.. Tilden. "Ile has Withdrawn
from active pursuits, whether political

for which he would either accept a
nomination himself or dictate a nom.

consent to receive; and, though he is
ms firmly devoted to democratic truths

wish to shape the policy or to pre-
scribe the standard bearers of the
party to whose success large part of
his life has been devoted. Hence

garden the stirring contest in which
he was formerly wont to frame the is

THE character of the Congressional
timber developed in Proctor Knots
district, shows that the article isscarce
down that way in quality, though
not lacking in quantity. There were
six candidates before the Elizabeth.
town Convention, and they were such
a poor lot that it took three days
time and 100 ballots to determine
which of them to risk. The choice
fell upon T. A. Robertson, of Larue,
who, we opine, will not add great
many laurels to lay along side of his
worthy predecessor.

If Miss Sarah Brown, of Kansas,
is correct example of how her sex
would act if they were allowed to
miDgle much in matters political, we
fear they would change their politics
as often as their dresses. The lady
referred to was nominated last year
by the democrats as their candidate
for Superintendent of Public Instruc-
ton, and with the rest of the ticket
got overwhelmingly beaten. This
year she turns up as candidate for
County Superintendent on the repub-
lican ticket. She evidently is deter.
mined to have an Office, no matter
how small it is or how often she has
to change her political belief.

of success is probably due to the
fact that the managers failed to send

failure for their short -sightedness.

THR Egyptian war is practically
over. Arab Bey and the larger por-
tion ofhis army are prisoners, and Cairo
Alexandra and other points in
possession Of the British. The con.
flict was short, sharp and decisive,
lasting but two months from the time
the first gun was fred. The loss of
life, if the dispatches are to be relied
upon, has been very small, that Of
the British not over 500 and the
Egyptians less than 5000. The Lon
don Times relates that Wolseley had
planned his campaign before leaving
England, and put his finger on the
map at Tel.el.Kebir as the spot where
Arab would fight, and the 18th Of
September as the day Of battle. The
British General was two days ahead
of time. His management Of the
campaign shows the possession Of very
high qualities. The night attack was
a master stroke.

The War to 90 on.

The False Prophet of Soudan has
again been heard from. He is at
Khartovn making arrangements for
an extensive war. He contempletes
forming junction with Aribi, after
the English whips that rebel, and
together they will continue the fight.
A report from Constantlnople says
that the effect of English invasion
of Egypt is to intensity the resis-
lance of Islam to European agrees
sion. A combination has been
formed among the Arabs which ex-
tends from Morocco to Cairo, and a
real patriotic feeling, apart from re-
ligous sentiment, everywhere pre- :
walls. All the population of the in
terror were some time ago supplied
with arms and ammunition. The
conquest of Egypt by England will
merely result IN extending the
theater of war to African and. asiat-
ic Arabia, and after the hordes of
Mohammedans shall have WHIPPED

the long-predicted Arabian Empire
will be established. When Arab

MERCHANTS AND FARMERS.
Thousands Of Dollars Saved to the
SOUTH,

Thomas j. Erwin, a well known citizen of
Jefferson county, Miss, has for the last ten
years been experimenting in the cultivation
OF Irish potatoes, and claims to have learn
ed the secret OF raising fall potatoes more
successfully than any other man in the
South. In the fall of 1880 he raised upwards
of three hundred bushels on his oat patch,
after cutting OATS he also raised fine crop
in the fall of 1881, as dry as the fall was.
Some of the finest potatoes that were ever
raised he carried to the Brookhaven market
and sold for S. per barrel. In case this
statement is doubted, he refers to the fol-
lowing persons, who bought of him. Prof.
johnson, of Whitworth College, Storm &
Son, Pfeiier & Dreyfus, M. Priebatsch, r.
HI. Henry, and many others; also to VIM
berley & Rea, at Wesson; z. Ferguson, at
Beauregard; S. Lehman. at Union Church
who sold to his customers for planting seed.
/ raise my own seed and plant in he fall.
l have planted the same potato for ten
years. raise two crops year, and find them
improving all the time. The South can
beat the world raising Irish potatoes. All
that is needed is to know when and how to
plant fall crop to insure their coming up,
and how to save them.
Now is the time for the overlooked lands
on the Mississippi river. They can plant
fall crops and make from two to three hun
bred bushels per acre. This is no Yankee
trick. Every farmer ought to raise at least
enough Irish potatoes for home use, and
quit being slaves for the North.
/ will, for one dollar, give receipt of my
ten years experience in raising Irish pota-
toes, both spring and fall crops. Those
who buy my receipt, if they go by directions,
will never fail to make large crops, and it
will be the means of saving the South
thousands of dollars. T. J. ERWIN.

The Cotton Crop.


This seasons cotton crop is esti-
mated at FIVE million, four hundred
and forty thousand bales. Middlings
opened 10 New Orleans at l2a and
declined to 12B. The market is dull.
Notwithstanding the continued bad
weather q large crop is expected by
cotton handlers. The crop in Tex
as is the largest raised since the
war, while that growing in Arkan-
sas is very fine. I'll is not consider
ed made IN either State, and is sub
ject to many yicissitudes. If the
weather remains good from now on
the crop will be large. No one can
tell anything about the outlook of
cotton. It deies all calculations as
to the future. We cannot see why
the prices should not be good, as the
crop cannot be as large as it was
last year; then much of the Egyp-
tian crop must be lost, owing to the
prevalence of hostilitics in that
country; the short crop in India,
and enormous consumption of the
raH material in Europe. A New
Orleans firm has reports from "a
counties in Mississippi. ID have
reported weather since August l
favorable, Ii unfavorable, 16 to date
more favorable than last year, Z less

Crops and Politics in Kansas.

LEAVENWoRTH, nam, sep. l., 81.
EDITOR BRooKHAvEN LEDGER
I have been travelling through the
States of Missouri, Kansas, Colora-
do and Nevada for the last three
weeks and thought some ofmy OBJ
servations might be interesting to
the readers of the LEDGER. In all of
these States the crops are very fine,
but in Missouri and Kansas they are
simply immense, and in the great
staples of wheat and corn will lead
all of their sister States this year;
and should It command a fair price,
the farmers of these Statesiwill have
a boom this season such as they
never had before. The railroads
will be taxed to their utmost in
moving the surplus grain, and un-
less / am much mistaken all branch
es of business will feel the blessing
of these immense crops.
This is a temperance State, but
the law is only enforced in the wes-
tern portion. In Atckison, Topeka,
Lawrence and Leavenworth the law
seems to be dead letter, and is not
and cannot be enforced, therefore l
conclude that prohibition does not
always prohibit.
In my travels 1 met and convers
ed with many prominent politicians
in the cities and large towns, and
learned that if the Democrats made
anything like hard fight they will
carry both Colorado and Nevada at
the next election. l talked with
many Republicans and Democrats
about the probable candidates Of
each party in 1884. The Republi-
cans l found largely in favor Of
President Arthur, and I found nine.
out of ten Democrats in favor of
Samuel j. Tilden; in fact the Demo-
Gratis seemed almost unanimous in
favor of Gov. Tilden. 1t seems true
that the prediction made by you at
Cincinnati in 1880, just after the
nomination Of Gen. Hancock, will
be verified in 1884. You remarked
that the time would come when the
Democrats would almost beg Gov.
Tilden to lead them to victory.
Prohibition will cut me figure
in the State elections this fall, but
to what extent We can best judge af
ter the election. The Democracy
thus far have acted wisely on the
subject and stand by the traditions
of the party. In my judgment this
is wisdom. The people are jealous
of their liberties, and the party
which seeks to control them will
sooner or later come to grief.
Your friend,
H. G. G..
