up $78,OO0,000. The republicans say
that part of the enormous increase is
owing to the fact that the democrats

essarily large, and should not for that
reason be charged up to them.

CLARION from this place, signed cold
Farmer" who speaking Of johnson Grass
makes the following statement: at will
make plenty of hay in rich land, but it Is
harsh and rough" We beg leave to con-
tradict this assertion. There is no shadow
of doubt but that johnson Grass hay cut at
the proper stage, and properly cured IS
unsurpassed in nutritive value by any OF
our native grasses, and that among the
whole category of cultivated grasses there
are few plants that equal it in value as hay.
Stock OF all kinds eat it greedily, and will
do moderately hard work, and keep in good
order, upon johnson Grass alone. We spea <
from experience. Let those who wish to
decry down this grass do 50, but let them
not do so by making such statements as are
not borne out by-laets. We advise no man
to SOW this grass, but leave it to his own
judgment. But we do say, openly and
aOSfS u3dily THAT III A4S4S VIII N''i''0'
soil. adapted to- its growth, and
fullest development, that Johnson grass vii
yield a greater quantity and better quail
ty of hay than any other grass ever intro
duced into the South. Six tons per acr'
in one season Is not an unusual yield.
Some farmers labor under the impression
that johnson grass is identical with Guinei
grass. This is an error and should be cor
rected as speedily as possible. They are Q
the same general family, and very muel
similar in groath and appearance, thougl
the Guinea grass is much courser, and ha
never been considered very valuable 70
hay. The writer has sold $500 bushels Q
johnson grass seed this season, and has ex
hausted his stock They were shipped al
over the South, as far as Virginia and Ken
lucky, and even to Mexico.
There are men in Texas who are sellini
all the hay they can harvest Of johnson
grass, at from s2j to $35 per ton, the lat
ter price being paid to one gentleman 70
the hay in the stack.
One farmer near San Antonio, harvest e
900 tons from sixty acres, which he has n'
difficulty in selling at SIS per ton. The
livery men of Selma, Alabama, prefer

We need Vessels with which We can fight.
Not iron.clads or big frigates, but atrong,
swift rams. The steam ram is virtually an
intclg cannon ball-one which can turn
and follow an enemy until 1t hits it. And
It's blow is vastly heavier and more effective
than that of any missile which eau possibly
be propelled from any gun.
If we provide our harhors with rams which
are superior in speed to any foreign man-oi-
war, and which can turn more quickly than
can the unwieldy monsters which are
the strength of fHcign navies we can
successfully defend our sea-board against
any lie that may be sent TO attack
ms. Commander Gorrings recommends that
each IAN should be provided with hut sin.
gle gun The ram should carry as few inca
as pOssiblc--sp hat in case she is herself sunk
| little loss of life would follow. She should
| be armor- plated to an extent sufficient tC
shield her hcmsuap, and should have suil
cicnt watet-tight compartments to render heI
practically unsuitable. Such vessel, tive
thousand tons in size moving with speed
Of twenty miles an hour, and capable o
turning, with the helpof twin screws, withit
her own length would sink the largest non
clad in the world with almost absolute Ger

There seems to be some sound sense il
these views and it is to be hoped tina! the,
will have fair consideration before Consres
authorizes the building of lot OF co;il'

-, 900, 600, arising from the sale of contis-
Gated cotton during the war, which. 1t is al
lered, he diverted to his own use was brought
TO trial last week IN the United States Circuit
Count, New York, before Judge Cox and n
Jury. The complaint sets forth that john
s,on was appointed an assistant special agent
of the treasury department 10y the secretary
of The treasury, Hugh McCulloch and enter
ed ON his duties about May s, 1865, in the
counties of Lowndes, Monroe, Okatibbeha and
Noxubee. in the State of Mississippi, and
continued to discharge his duties for about
one wear. Ills instructions were to receive
and collect 50 much cotton in these counties
ms could be satisfactorily shown to have been
purchased by or held on account OF the So
called Confederate States government, and
with as little delay as possible, to slip the
cotton SO received or collected TO william
NJ. Ormc, supervising special agent at Mem
phis, or tot. G. A. Dexter, supervising spe-
cial agent at Mobile, with the least expense
and risk, sending with it an account OF ex-
penses and full record of the cotton, The
complaint charges that the defendant fraud
uepily detained from plaintiff and lattel's
agents large quantities of cotton converting
and disposing of the same ID his own use,
the value of said cotton being SlO0, OS7.72.
Mr.. Johnston. in his answer, makes gener-
al denial of the charges, and claims that, ON
