THE following from y Washington
correspondent, the World says, is con-
frmed from other sources, and shows
that all attempts to change the tariff
this session are, as We have frequently
said, "friDg in the air."
Morrison has just made q confession
which will startle his friends as much
as 1t will amaze them. He admits that
all the work Of the WAYS aud Means
Committee Is so much lost time, AMI
that the bill will never become law
This afternoon careful estimated of the
strength Of the Democratic opposition
was made, and it is found 10 be easily
equal to the task Of blocking all tariff
legislation for the year. This conclu-
sion Is reached after an actual count,
which brings to light the fact that fffty
m mbeTs of the majority will vote with
the Republicans. Thirty.five would be
enough, so that the fate Of the bill Is not
involved in much doubt. There Is no
possibility If overcoming this hopeless
division"

Atlanta Constitution, Leading Paper i" tn
SOnIh

Atlanta Constitution, Leading Paper !" the
South.
The indications are that the leaders for
the two great parties in the campaign OF
1884 will be Samuel J. Tilden and James G.
Blaine.
1t has been apparent tCr sometime TO the
dullest observers that Mr.. Tlden could
have the Democratic nomination without
a struggle, If he would only consent to take
it. Even when it was positively given out
that he would, under no circumstances, &C
cept the nomination, attempts to concen'
trate attention about any other leader
failed signally. The current drifted to-
wards 1ilden, despite his own attempts to
stay it. 1t has been settled fact Tor
months that the Democratic standard
would be placed in his hands, If he would
consent TO carry it. The evidence OF the
past few days is unmlstakable, 10 our
mind, that he will consent.
With Tilden and Blaine in the field the
campaign would be exciting, brilliant and
aggressive. Tilden wo:Ild inspire the Dem.
ocrats with confidence and arouse the
highest enthusiasm, aud manage the light
with Incompatible skill and sagacity. As
for Blaine, no man has since Henry Clay
had q personal following that in devotion
Of numbers would compare with his, and
N SlreWuneSS anu duudClty Ne NOulu
prove worthy antagonist OF the sage OF
Greystone. A contest between these two
'eaders would be a grand one and every
pch of ground contested.
Under Tildeu's leadership we should
! ave no fears of the result. In our Opin-
on Samuel ]. Tilden is irresistible before
he American people. Elected once
nd kept out OF Office by what is
ow confessed to have been a mon
trous crime, his appeal to the public
ense of Justice and right would be oyer,
uhelming. His nomination would subor-
mate the tariff issue, and as it should be-
the issue of reform in the administ-a
ion of the government. Instead OF NOV
ing against the Republicans, with an alb
straction on which our own party is di-
yided and the general public at doubt, We
should under his leadership close ranks
and declare for clean government and a
common country sgainst twenty years OF
Republican misrule. corruption and Sec
tionalism.
It's our firm conviction that If Samuel
J. Tilden will consent to the use OF his
name, he will be nominated on the Sth OF
July, and one year from this bright March
morning will be insngurated President OF
the American republic in the Capitol at

CONVICTION. JAN. IL, 1884.
A NOSE OF MANY COLORS.

John r. Clark, Jr., of Missouri,
who has been elected Chief Clerk
of the Lower House of Congress,
is particularly remarkable for his
nose, which seems to be cross be-
tween a boquet of bright-colored
exotics and an Italian sunset, says
the Chicago News. It is altogether
the most phenomenal nose that has
ever appeared in Washington, and
this, it must be admitted, is saying
a great deal. 1t has the character
istics of the chameleon-not that it
subsists upon air. but that, under
varying circu stances. it changes
its hue. Sometimes it is gorge
GUS purple, reminding the beholder
of those splendid robes worn by
the Roman couquerors and wealthy
mobiles Of the early Latin times; anon
it is fiery red, resembling the con-
aagration of a prairie haystack on
q dark night; again we find it a
sombre CLAY or a sullen chrome
yellow, while at certain periods 1t
presents pale. pinkish tint. with
dark blue polka dots. On two or
three occasions it has assumed the
national tri-color-red, white and
blue--but its steadfast hue IS q
brick red, with beautiful manve
waves and few splashes of bright
green, producing at once varied
and pleasing aspect. We do not
know that any estimate as to the
value of such nose has ever been
made, but 1t is believed that MIR.
Clark must have expended a large
fortune upon this useful and Singh
larry ornamental member of his per-
son.

A CHINESE RICE PLANTA-
TON.

A correspondent, writing from
China, says: MY curiosity to see
rice plantation has been abund-
antly gratified. They are as nu-
merous as the Chinese. and even
less inviting in appearance. They
are usually very small, quarter OF
an acre constituting good sized
field. These fields are of all I'M
aginable shapes, and are usually
created by means Of irrigation.
Flat land is selected, which is then
inundated with slush, SO that it
shall really constitute a swamp.
Here the seed is planted in June,
and the crop is reaped in Novem-
Der. The cultivation is almost al
ways by hand, men and women
wading through the slime, which is
often knee deep. and carefully
plucking every weed. Rice is the
staple product here, even the reve-
nues being estimated in this grain.
There are nearly a dozen different
varieties. The farmers soak the
seed Until It i IS ready tte ssfereHt, and
then scatter it thickly in basins that
are flooded every night thereafter
aud allowed to dry off during the
day. When the brilliant green
plants are well up they are heavily
MANFRED, which adds to the I'M
savory appearance and smell of the
plantation. When the plants are
about three inches high, which is in
about six weeks after the plant
ing, the farmers transplant them,
putting thom III punches about a
foot apart, the lunches forming
rows which are also about foot
apart. At least three times during
the process of growth it is necessary
for the farmers to turn out and
puddle" the forthcoming crop. an
operation which signifies the re-
moval of all the tangled weeds and
aquatic plants which are solicitous
Of growing in the black water. This
water has to remain until the rice is
ripe, when the field is dried off.
Fields are very successfully formed
by the terracing of sloping ground,
III which event the process of irri-
CATION is facilitated. In the case Of
fields on the plains it is necessary
to raise water from a main canal
into more elevated bitches by means
of a portable tread mill pump. This
apparatus resembles large paddle
wheel, and is operated by coolie,
who industriously ascends its floats.
The average crop per acre is from
thirty to fifty-ive bushels of the
grain.
