Diversified Crops in the South.
st. Louis Republican.

1t is believed that diversified agri-
culture in the cotton States will at all
times he advantageous to that quarter
of the Union. But the present season
affords the most practical illustration
of the truth it has ever had. The less
son is made plain, not onl y without
cost, but to the very great advantage
of those whom it is most concerned to
know it. While the present season
has been to some extent untavorable
for cotton, and less than average
yield is probable, nearly all other crops
and especially corn, wheat, oats and
hay, promise considerably more than
an average yield. This occurs when
there is greater acreage Of general
crops and rather less acreage Of cotton
than usual. This state of things has
been brought about by the continued
discussion of the subject. The advan-
tage to the states concerned will be
many millions for this year alone.
Any curtailment Of the cotton crop,
even the smallest, when that staple is
wholly relied on, is disastrous to the
cotton States, and is invariably follow
ed by distressing, financial stringency.
The margin of profit on cotton raising,
when large supplies of grain and pro-
visions are drawn from other sections,
is so small that only full crops leave
the planter prosperous Instead,
therefore, of the present prospects in
the cotton States being unfavorable,
by reason Of having given increased
attention to the cereals and to corn
and to vegetables, the season gives
unusual promise of ease and prosperi-
w. If the season had been one of the
best for cotton the result would only
have been still more favorable tor
planters. As it is, they have what
would have been a close year, with
little or no profits, turned into one of
surely more than ordinary prosperity.
The lesson brings nothing new to
light nor reveals anything not before
believed oy money, but it vindicates
the theory that diversified agriculture
is founded in prudence and true wis,
dom. 1t is probable that agricultu>
rists will adopt it more and more eX-
tensively from year to year.

We clip the following paragraph
from the Banner Of the 22d. Does
any one know anything about the cir
cumstance?
From information gained yesterday
as to the identity of Bennett Cook,
the man now in custody at st. Louis,
and concerning whom the Chief of De-
tectives of that city wrote the author
tiles here it is probable that he com,
mitsed the murder near Milan in Glib
son county, instead of Mckenzie, as
stated by the detective in his letter,
killing a constable who was endeav~
oring to arrest him.

SATURDAY, JULY 30, 1882.

The following remarkable article
we clip from the last issue of the
Humboldt Argus. What does it
mean? Does it indicate bolt by the
extreme low takers, or the temper
ance men, or the greenbac kers ? Are
we to have two or three tickets in
this county? What does Chairman
Burnett and the Argus want, anyhow?
In another column will be found the
call Of the chairman Of the Low Tax
Executive committee To meet at Tren-
ton che first Monday in August Mr..
Burnett has been requested by Mr.
Taylor to call joint convention the
LIST Monday in August for the purpose
of recognizing the party in this coun-
ty Mr.. Burnett refused to sign the
call until the low tax committee had
taken action in the matter. The
committee ought all be present at the
meeting and take such action as will
tend to advance the interest of the
people. We presume other questions
will also come before the committee,
whether it will be to the interest of
the low tax party to unite with the
other wing of the party in the nomi~
nation Of candidates for the Legisla-
ture upon SOB and Co.'S platform or
nominate our own candidates upon the
proposition of paying the State debt
proper and leaving the railroad debt
to he paid by the railroads. We be-
lieve a large majority of the people of
Gibson county think as we do upon
this question. They are willing to pay
what is right ana opposed to paying
what is wrong. If we should put for
ward our own candidates, or let the
60-6 fellows have theirs, and the
other lot who endorse the Bate plat
form have theirs, could we not get a
fair expression as to how the people
stand on this question? We now
have five candidates for Governor, to.
wit: Barrett, Hawkins, Beasley, Bate
and Russell, and another yet behind,
so every body can vote as they please
for Governor and also vote their true
sentiments upon the settlement of the
State debt.

Tilden and the Presidency.

The New York Sun, which is gen.
orally supposed to reflect the political
views of Hon. Samuel j. Tilden, pubs
fishes letter from that city discussing
the topic of Mr.. Tilden's willingness
to become a candidate for President
The Sun, in leading editorial, agrees
with the writer of the letter that 'if
Mr.. Tilden would consent to he can,
didate, and if no anxiety was felt as
to his physical ability to bear the
enormous, the unprecedented strain
which must be put upon reforming
president, he would be immensely
stronger than any other possible cam
didate of any party, and would surely
he elected by an immense majority,
both of the people and Of the States. .
But Sun adds: "At the same time,
it is our conviction that Mr.. Tilden is
not candidate, that he would not be
willing TO accept any nomination, and
that he has no wish to be president
This is doubtless a correct statement
of Mr.. Tilden's position.

End rember for Christian as Country
District (COulterJ would, ore the matter
goes to a Committee, beg to observe, that
an inland revenue on rum would be the
total destruction to all manufacturing of
run in the Island; it would stop the sale
of rum entirely; AND moreover the eXpen-
ses for keeping the requisite staff OF officials
and for making the rum would be more
than the worth Of the rum. He would beg
to- suggest a point for the consideration Of
the Committee, namely the establishing of
a:Rumshop and grocery shop at Kingshill,
as was the case before it gave good re-
turns, and might also be a source of public
revenue for the privilege of having such a
shop might be put up for licitatiOn and
given to the highest bidder.
4th Member for Frederiksted's Country
District (LdtimeyJ would beg to enquire of
His Honor the President, if the present
laws, and particularly the existing Rum
Ordinance, do not fully meet the require
ments of the case and are not adequate to
correct the evil complained of, namely the
retail of spirits on estates He had
always heard that those enactments were
so; and if it be so that they can meet and
arrest the grievance, we need then merely
ask the Government to have the matter in
future regulated and attended to.
3rd MemberfOr Christiansted (LemmiRg)
would beg to say, that although we had
not as yet got into the most interesting
part of the discussions on the principle
laid dow in the Draft, still he thought
he could take upon himself to recommend
the appointment Of a Committee on the
Draft; for, if we get no Committee on it,
then nothing would come out of what was
intended to be Of some good. And as far
as he could judge, there is some evil exist
ing, which in many respects deserves to be
remedied; if the Draft comes to a Com
mittee all the different items will be sifted;
then first we may learn what are the real
intentions of the proposers, and what it is
that is wanted to hit the mark; he
believed that with good will and with
cooperation from the Government and
the Presidency, who are always willing to
assist in arriving at a practical result,
together with the assistance Of the Police
masters, we might be able in a short time
to arrive at a practical result. He would
therefore recommend that the Draft be
sent to a Committee as now proposed.
No one requested the word further.
1t was adopted unanimously with Is
votes that the Draft be referred to a Com
nit ae of 5 Members. The election of the
Committee was made later in the meet
ing.
Isl discussion was postponed.

AMNPPY INVENT. If TRUE.

OF the rumor which we report in this
mornings local columns concerning the
purchase of the Chicago Texas IL Mexican
Central Railroad, by the Gulf, Colorado IL
Santa Fe Company, we know nothing au-
thcntic, 1t has been ailoat here for the past
couple of days, and is in accord with what
prevailed in Waco, as announced by
the Examiner of that city, as also with in
formation received from Galveston That
negotiations to such and have been pend
ing through the Boston syndicate is quite
generally believed, end that such consum-
nation will eventually be perfected is also
as thoroughly believed by many.
Certainly the whole matter as rumored
appears quite probable. There is every
reason why the G., G.. & S. Fc Company
should ardently desire to secure possession
ofthe line from Cleburnc to Paris or june
ton with the st. Louis e San Francisco
Road, as this appears to be their best pros.
pcct for on outlet. The Galveston Com
pany have the money and energy to carry
the enterprise to immediate completion
aud wonld be IN better condition under
the proposed arrangement than the
Chicago, Texas & Mexican Central Company
would DO by owning only n section of a line.
Dallas certainly can have no objection to
the transfer, rs in such event the main line
of u great corporation would be immediate.
| ly through her limits This would be n
dcnoucment that the HERALD strove for SO
persistently at the outset, and we hail the
prospective realization of our earlier hopes
in the interest of our city.

honest Methodist, or a strict Presbyterian
for instance, to object through the political
machinery to the Catholic choir next door,
agains, chanting their praises and supplica-
tons to the Virgin, any more than he has
to so object to the opera troupe in the rem
ditisn of its classic or humber music for
those who desire to attend, and vice-versa,
unless it can be established that a nuisance
thereby exists; all parties, too, being equal
taxpayers If Smith prefer to attend a
church to see Talmage or Beecher act, or
hear the choir sing, who should say him
nay? If he prefer, however, to 90 to the
opera to witness Mccullough or hear PATHS
voicings, who should politically deny to
him his choice? 1t is ques-
ton between aim and his con-
science, or his church, not be-
tween him and City Council. If he has a
right so to go, then Talmage and Beecher
Mccullough and Patti have the correlative
right to so eRtertain him. What more right
has such Council to exempt the Jew or the
German than to enforce conformity to its
views of religion upon the Christian or the
American How can it set itself up and
dictate for the Jews religious conduct on
secular day or as an arbiter as to
what the Christian and the American should
do or how pass his time, be he Catholic,
Methodist, Universalist or whatever else?
We had been indulging the hope that
Dallas, though small, was forging ahead to
metropolitan views and practices, and We
venture the assertion that no Sabbath even
ing for months was so enjoyed or more inno-
Gently, by the young and old men who toll
for support during the long weeks and are
declared from pleasure, AS was last Sabbath
night, and we greatly regret to notice this
last piece of short-sighted and straght-aced
| legislation on the part ofour municipal gov
crnment Just when we We're beginning to
reach more advanced stage of free thought
and freedom of action. We hope
the Council will see good cause for review
| ing their action in the premises or do with
all alike. Let there be some consistency
and uniformity in these matters. We think
We but voice the sentiment of the majority
of our citizens in these views we have just
expressed but yet entertain the same regard
for the opinions of that other large class, and
among them the Council, who differ with us
as we claim for our own. A town with the
many elements and metropolitan charac-
tcrstics that Dallas possesses cannot be
built up by class legislation or greater de-
ference to any one clique or party or relig-
ion than is paid to another. And the
sooner this position is admitted and lived
up to the better for us all, and especially for
our religion itself as all such efforts to
bolster up our morality under it are like the
Upas tree in its companionship or the Mem
eSis shirt of Nessus, running what it
touches, The Christian religion is seriously
hurt not aided by any would-bc apostle
that would choke Off free thought and
suppress free action save alone where these
