| tention was called to the statements of wit
nesses about his speech and he pronounced
all assertions that he had encouraged violence
false.
Addressing Major Barksdale, the witness,
Senator Hoar asked: did you read some
resolutions purporsing to have been passed
after the election ST public meeting?"
"Yes, sir; have them here"
''Well, now, may | inquire whether YOU
approve or disapprove of the resolutions ?"
Il will not answer that question further
than to say that the resolutions have not been
properly understood by the public and have
been misrepresented. If YOU will permit
will refer to them, so that my understanding :
OF the purport of your question may be clear.
Will you permit me. sir?"
mo, sir; you have stated that you decline
to answer"
Il decline TO answer without an explana.
tioD of the reasons that influence my reply.
The resolutions are in these words" (The
witness read the Copiah county resolutions.
Il regard these resolutions simply as a reply
TO the threats made by Matthews aud tha
clan that he was at the head of. against the
citizens"
Then you mean to say that you don't ap-
prove of them?"
Il mean to say that they have been mis-
represented, in my understanding.
MY question was not whether the public
had been properly informed, but whether
you approved of the resolution??"
"Weil, my answer has been given.''
Senator Frye-Does he know of any
threats made by Matthews? want to know
whether he in his statement means TO testify
that he ever heard Matthews say anything of
the kind he has referred to.
The witness said he had not heard Mat
thews make the threats, but he had heard of
them from others.
Mr.. Frye-You have no right, as a witness,
to make that answer, and you know it.
Witness-Well, sir. when you say you did
not know it or you did know, then it is not
the manner in which gentlemen should ad-
dress each other.
Mr.. Hoar-You say you are familiar with
the political history of Mississippi. There is
one resolution to the effect that Copiah shak es
hands with Yazoo. Do you know what that
means?
Witness-Well, no sir; l will not under
take to interpret that. You had no knowl
edge of the facts. | had nothing to do with
getting up the resolutions.
Do you remember any public fact in the
history of Yazoo which might help to inter-
pret that.
will not answer that; will not try to in
terpret that resolution.
The witness in further course of the colo
guy said the people of Yazoo county were law
abiding people He knew OF nothing in the
history of either Yazoo or Copiah which
would compare with ''Tewksbury honor"
Mr. HOar-That, you know all about?
Witness-I have seen it stated officially.
Mr.. Hoar-You are acquainted with
Tewksbury and not well acquainted with
Yazoo?
Witness-Pretty well with both, and do
not know anything so much to the dscredit
of Yazoo as TO rewksbury.
Senator Hoar expressed the hope that an
official investigation of the affairs of Yazoo
county would show them to be as false as
those respecting Tesksbury.

Strengthening at San Pedro.

Fritz Bormann, q wellknown resi-.
dent of this city, has just returned from
an enforced visit to Puget Sound. Mr.
Bormann is an old resident, and has
been in the butcher business for years.
In an unguarded moment he visited
San Pedro, and in cornwall mood took
few drinks with some men whom he
supposed were friends, but who, he now
thinks, drugged his liquor. After these
drinks bis recollection failed HIM, and
when he came to his senses he was on
board a schooner bound for Puget
Sound No explanation was given him
and Il was soon plain to his befuddled
senses that he lad been shanghaed and
was on his way to the lumber regions.
He was not sailor but he managed to
do mans work until the Sound was
reached, when he quit the vessel and
returned home. He makes no CON-
plant about his treatment ON board the
vessel, but objects seriously to the mode
of his taking off 1t would seem, from
such incidents, that there is a gang Of
harpies at San Pedro who do shang-
haeing in the most approved style, and
it might be well for our county authori-
ties to give attention to these scoundrels.
The penitentiary is yawning for them.
and it would be a salutary lesson to
have q few of them sent there.-Loa

A Failure.

The South Carolina Election cases
have fallen through for want of evil
dence to sustain them. They were
brought on rumor, and were simply SO
many attempts to prosecute Democrats
black and white who were participants
in the Congressional elections in that
State.
Judge Bond, of the United States
District Court, who presided at the
trials, is bitter Republican and not at
all inclined to favor the Democratic
defendants. Not a single Democrat
was permitted to remain on the juries
which tried them. Nevertheless, the
Government failed to convict in any
case The evidence was so fimsy and
unreliable that a Republican court and
Republican jury were obliged to
acquit.
This disposes most efectually of the
hue and cry raised by the Republican
and fraud in South Carolina. The
"Union League will now have consid-
cradle less work to perform in recon-
structing Southern State Governments.
1t will even perhaps be able to look after
the The. Aliens and Dave Mouats, who
pile up Republican majorities by ways
that are dark and tricks that are vain.
Meanwhile the surplus in the Treas:
ury viii be considerably reduced by the
cost of these vindictive but ridiculous
prosecutions in South Carolina. In
deed it is likely they were instituted
partly for that especial purpose

So with the call of the Committee, in
its pointless and general illusions to

Farming with Figures.

If strict account were kept with
every acre of the farm, note made OF
the acres that produce and those thai
do not, it would be a surprise to many
farmers to know how few of the acres
they farm really yielded a profit, and
how many fail to return any income.
When once this is found, how easy il
would be to put the whole in way OF
paying something towards the sum that
might be realized. Some one has said
most farmers have a better method OF
farming in their heads than they put
into actual practice. This is no doubt
true. How many farmers know that
their swamp lot is unproductive, and
by the outlay of 800 for a ditch, and
clearing. that five or ten acres would be
the best land on the farm? Why don't
they put their knowledge into practice?
That large pasture is nearly unproduct-
i've, and it only supports few sheep.
They know 1t, and do know if it were
plowed it could be made to produce a
most abundant crop of clover, How
many dairynlen know that ten of their
forty COWS do not pay for their keep
ing, but actually Give" of the profits OF
the others? How many farmers know
that they do not half fertilize their
land, do not half drag, or fit the soil for
the crops. and if they would use the hoe
and cultivator twice as much they would
get double the crop for their labor?
Why don't they do it? How many
who hastily perform their work. to ''ge'
it off their hands," know as we'll a.
SoIomOn could tell them that their haste
is waste, and that thorough work would
pay far better, and why don't they?
1.-The success in farming at the present
day is not so much what is undertaken,
but what is actually performed and
completed in workmanlike manner.
Success in farming is complete, finished
methods. Anything that is worth do
ing is worth doing well, is al old say
ing, but farmers are not fully cognizani
OF it, or else fail in following its princi
pies. The successful farmer of the
future will not be bonanza farmer
