DECLINES TO BE AN ELECTOR-
AT-LARGE.
The Rev. w. B. Derrlck's Reasons
For His Action.

NEW York, July 2.-The Rev. w.
B. Derrick, pastor Of the Bethel Afri-
can Methodist Episcopal Church; has
declined to serve as a candidate for
one of the Electors at Large on the
Republican ticket He Indignantly
repels the charge that his withdrawal
is on account of the charges that he
is not an American citizen. He says
that he was born in Hayti and came
to this country "a years ago and took
out his naturalization papers in Boston
in 1867. Prior to becoming citizen
he served during the rebellion in one
of the Massachusetts colored regi-
ments. His letter of declination is
as follows:
New York, July /, 1884.

missioner, Neao York City,:
DEAR SIR Your kind letter came
to hand informing me of your and
the committees action in selecting
me for the high position on the State
ticket as Elector at-Large. would
have replied earlier, but owing to the
business in connection with our An
nual Conference at Brooklyn, which
is now in session, and has been for
the last FIVE days, ! have been pre-
vented from doing so. | am under
lasting obligations to yourself and the
committee for the high honor con-
ferred, but having been chosen by
my church and brethren to be the re-
preventative to meet the Methodist
Episcopal Church to assist in arrang-
ing the affairs for the Centennial cele-
bration of American Methodism the
coming Fall, find it will be impossi-
BILE to fill the high Office. must,
therefore, respectfully decline. Wish
ing the grand old party success, l am
yours, very respectfully,
Mr.. Derrick said that his letter
gave the actual reasons for his declin-
alton. Il shall vote and work for
the ticket, and should do the same
no matter who the candidates were.
l have recommended as my successor
DIR. Johnson, a noted colored physi-
clan, and | hope he will be selected
At the National Committee rooms
nothing was known yesterday after
noon of DIR. Derrick's withdrawal.

steps would be taken to fill the va
cancy until the meeting of the State
Central Committee, which would be
held next week.

A soil which is naturally fertile Is
much more valuable to the farmer than
me which is fertile only by the help of
manure. The natural fertility of the
soil, comparatively speaking, is per-
manent quality, and can only be in
ured by the continuance of an exhaust
i've system of cropping for a long time.
Acquired fertility is quite a different
matter; it is due to the accumulation
of manurial ingredients in the soil, which
may be reduced or entirely Withdrawn
by cropping in a short time.
Continued cropping without manur-
ing results in a reduction of the stock
OF available fertility in every soil. A
soil. however, which is soon exhausted
for one sort of crop may still contain
an abundant food supply for crop of
another kind. Hence the wisdom of
rotation of crops which long defers the
period of exhaustion.
The more available substances are,
of course, the first to become exhausted;
poor soil will wear out sooner than a
rich one; a shallow one becomes ex-
hausted sooner than a deep one, and a
light soil sooner than a stiff one.
All soils have more or less store of
plant food in q dormant condition ca
pable of gradual development. AS
cropping removes available plant-food
from the soil it is replaced more or less
rapidly by the agencies of the weather,
the action of earth worms, etc. The
processes of natural soil-renovation is
greatly accelerated by artificial means,
such as tillage, drainage and the appli-
cation of manures. With iudicious
system of rotation of crops and fertil-
izing, the active fertility in the soil may
be made to reproduce itself year after
year, instead of becoming exhausted,
as is too often the case, after q long Pc
Rod of Encouragement.
Mr.. Lawes, of Rothamsted, England.
gives to the public the results of an eX-
pertinent extending through twelve
years. The two crops grown eachyear
were wheat. The soils were similar
and in the same field, the management
the same in so far as culture was con-
cerned, and the seed used the same.
The only difference was that in one
case nature had been unassisted by ma
nure, and in the other the soil each
year received the fertilizers which were
found to be most suitable to the crop.
The result Of the latter treatment was
return of three times the weight of grain
and four times the weight of straw, for
an expenditure of manure which left
profit of 100 per cent. on its cost.-N.
