Senator Edluunds is reported to have
said, in declining a nomination for the
Presidency of the General Episcopal
Convention at Philadelphia. that he was
not "a candidate for President for this
or any other place at this or any other

prominently mentioned in Republican
circles as their possible candidate next
year for The. Presidency, this little speech
lis significant. The fact Of the matter is,

The Grecnville Nountaineer says :

''rhe address of the Colored Conven.
ton at Louisville appears in another
column. 1t contains much bosh; but it
will do little harm. We would have
preferred to have seen some steps made
towards colonizing the race in some OF
the territories, where all the evils they
complain of could have been brought
within their own correction. Fred Doug
lass, the leader Of the Convention, might
do some good in such course.'
We agree thoroughly with our CO.
temporary in this matter. The colored
people themselves ought to favor colo.
nization rs means Of riddiug them
selves OF the grievances of which they
complain. The Republicans too ought
to favor the scheme. 1t would be better
Etllan to deprive the negro of the suffrage
which they are already broadly limiting

The BLACK Belt OF virginia.


A correspondent of the New York
SIN gives the following story OF the hor-
rible condition of a County OF Virginia
under Malone rule:
..Alecklcnburg county is in what IS known
as the Black Bett ofVrginia. the negroes
lar.elv outuumbering the whites. and
Ma.one's great strenyth is IN this district.
Since his advent the blacks have become
| so lnsolent and riotous that many whites
speak of leaving the county. A letter
from q man in Mecklenburg says that a
white woman, with bcdridden husband
and three small children, was cultlvat-
Inc n small tract of land. Near her
lived a thriftless negro, who made a
practice of pulling down her fence and
turning in his hogs to feed ON her crops.
She complained in vain, and her insola-
ted position made her powerless. At
length she got a dog aud drove the hogs
out. Tllercupon the negro assaulted
her. and, with foul eplthets. threatened
her with death. She applieci to lawyer,
aud he said If giving her 800 would Sc
cure the punishment IL the offending
party for the wrong and insult he would
cheerfaliY give it; but that unfortunately
her skin was white and that of the often
der black. and for that reason he was
compelled to advise quiet submission to
the wrong, no white man or white Voc
man having, in his opinion. any practi-
cal rights against a black man or black
woman in the county of Mecklenburg.
The letter says: Negro mobs have
forclbly taken colored prisoners charged
with crime from officers Of the law.
White men. officers Of the law and con-
servatofs Of the peace. have been treated
with contempt and stricken down BY
these mobs for no other offence than
that of endcavoring to arrest their riot
Gus proceedings, and to assert in a
proper manner the supremacy of the
law Upon an application for bail re-

Justice of the Peace, in announcing his
decision, said: Send him to Jail; he
ought to be sent TO hell.'"
& And vet there are those who want the
Republican party to get in power again,
and are opposed to any plau to colonlze
the negroes by which such state of
things as narrated above may be preven-

The Ohio Idea.

The Nersaad Goayier seems determin-
ed not 10 agree with Mr.. Randall. no
matter what that gentleman may do.
When the 0hie Dcnocrats in their plat
form declared for tariff for revenue with
incidental protection for home industries,
the Nelss and Courier mdorsed the doc
tyine. and said it was an admirable ex-
prcssion Of Democratic sentiment on the
subject Of the tariff. Last week. Mr..
{ Randall, who was stumping Ohio for the
Democracy, made a speech at Cleveland
III which he said:
s.The Ohio platform proclaims the
true business policy Of the tariff. and
various States have adopted il. The
National Con9cntiGn will adopt it. and
the Democrats sill electa President OH
it.
tt win tlius be seen Shat Mr.. Randall
alsc indorscs this admirable expression
of Democratic sentiment on the subject
of The tariff, and wants the Democratic
party 10 fight it out on the OHIO idea
next year. This speech put the Ners
and Courier in bad fix. either lsa
to cease its war on Mr.. R,naali tor re-
yudiate its own assertion, made a few
weeks ago, about the Ohio, platform.

THE MUCH ABUSED coMPoSITo8.
Our St. Paul Correspondent Makes
Some Pertinent Remarks.

To The Editor OF the ReglStef
ST. PAUL, MINI, June 19th.-I have
lust received Sundays REGISTER.
Oblige me by braining-no, for an OBJ
vious reason that plan wouldn't work
but please slay by some painful process
the cCmpositor who murders my hum
BILE compositions.
He made my last letter commence
with: "Wheeling to Chicago was our
object, and being desiriou' of leaving
Wheeling at the fastest rate"
Now, | didn't write that. What j did
write was: "Wheeling to Chicago was
our object, and being desirious OF
wheeling at the fastest rate etc.,
Perhaps the poor pun about Wheel
ing" deserved to be killed, and don't
find much fault with him for that, but
why say that was "desirious OF leaving
Wheeling at the fastest rate" as If !
was running away and several
constables We're after me, each one arm
ed with capias, or as if l didn't hate
to leave for good the dear old town
where John Caldwell came a century
ago and all my poor relations live.
don't want to mention all this in
tellingent compositOr's' mistakes, but
his corrections-as where he makes one
brakeman quote his own blunder, and
another say"Newark"where had writ
ten "Newawk," and improves my
Frenchman's English, at the expense
of his consistency, by substituting
"that" for 'dat, "-have spoiled my cake
(heavy enough before, III admit by
making it into very poor "pi."
| / wrote you from Fargo, referring to
an unprincipled class of real estate
boomers: ut is the fashion of the
Fargonauts who seek to shear the gol-
den fleece of the Eastern lamb who is
hunting for new pastures" &c.
The dispositor in his ignorance OF
Jason, the Argonauts and the Golden
Fleece, and in his magnanimous desire
TO correct an erring brother, destroyed
| my pun and elnaseulated my period by
substituting "Fargoers" for Fargo
| nauts."
I suppose nay new obligations are to
the same gentleman.
Punning cannot be "the lowest order
of wit" as Dr.. johnson termed 1t, 50
long as there is degree Of wit which

He asks whether top dressing with
barnyard manure and reseeding Will
bring it bear good crops. Top dressing
would improve it very much, but 1t
would, doubtless, pay better to break it
upand reseed lilly. 1t would not be
advisable to break it up this spring, as
the tenacious roots of the June grass
would not be likely to get thoroughly
rotted during the summer, II, indeed,
they were all killed. 1t would be bet
ter to NOW it this year and break it up
in the fall, and next year fallow it,
blowing and cultivating often, selecting
the driest weather to do the work. This
will kill out and rot the June grass
roots, and enrich the ground for new
service. The seeding will best be done
about the middle of August, or "a soon
as the summer drought is about over.
The loss of grain crop, while prepar-
ing to reseed will he more than paid for
in the improved condition of the soil.
Ground which has lain long to grass
becomes exhausted Of available fertility,
and needs thoroughly stirring and
serating to facilitate the solution of the
undissoIved plant food, which lies dor.
mant in the soil, unavailable and USE
less, till made soluble by exposure to
the air. 1t is not good policy to let
either pasture or meadow lie too long
without breaking up and pulverlzing
the earth anew. Modern science and
the best practice, agree in maintaining
that the quickest and cheapest way to
enrich most soils is to thoroughly culti-
vate and stir them, to hasten the de-
composition of mineral matters which
serve as plant food. What may thus
be gained by following and the rotting
of grass roots will put the meadow in
question in splendid condition for crops
for a series of years. We would advise
keeping this fact in mind while work.
ing the soil. Ashes, leached or I'M
leacheG, make an excellent fertilizer
for either meadow or pasture if sown
upon ground which is naturally dry.
They are as valuable for the grain
grower as the dairy man. Leached
ashes by the load are worth about twice
as much as barnyard manure, and un.
leached twenty-five cents 8 bushel.
The immediate effect of ashes is not
equal to that of manures, but 1t con-
tinues much longer. Coal ashes are
chiefly useful for their mechanical effect
in loosening compact soil.
