of the plaintiff, Mr.. virgins, for the

remembered that the demand was on a

meet such cases as that of the action of the
Federal Judges Bond and Hughes in the
case of Parsons Us. the Auditor of Virginia
in reference to receiving coupons for taxes.

Be it enacted by the Senate and House OF
Representatives Of the United States OF
America IN Congress assembled, That the
Jurisdiction of the circuit and district courts
of the United States shall not be construed
TO extend to any -uit in law or equity COM

MOVING SOUTH.

Now and then indications crop out show
ing that interest will overcome considera-
lions of pride and feeling. The South has
the resources for almost every description
of valuable manufacturing, and those fol-
wood, iron, and cotton fabrics cannot be
excelled. One of the latest signs, which
proves that time will bring about a
change of base for many manufacturing
establishments which cannot be run to the
same advantage III the North as in the
South, is the determination of the owners
of the Quequechan Mill, Fall River, Mass,
a print goods establishment, to move bag
and baggage to Mexico, where new stone
building is in the course of erection for the
new industry in that once distracted country
The machinery comprises 16, 800 spindles
and 492 looms, to which will be added new
outfits IN the plan Of operations there.
It is said native labor is anxious to engage
b. in the service of this concern which pro-
poses to give it d fair trial.
1t is believed that print-goods can be
made as cheap in Mexico as in England OF
elsewhere. The first competition will be
with English goods.
When our city Merchants and Nanufac.
turing Association gets fairly to work with
its active and vigilant committees, that on
manufacturing will be on the lookout fol
enterprises contemplating removal to oul
Southland. Should one hundred trial
only secure one plant as Judgment, the
time and effort will be we'll spent.

The Farmers.

In referring to the Farmers Congress in
New Orleans, the Lynchburg Ad0ance says
that ''there is not only no reason why farm
ers should not combine for their own inter-
ests, but every reason that they should
They directly pay toll to all manufactures,
and these combine and secure legislation
that benefits them, vide all the tariff bills.
They pay toll to patent rights. Look at

legislation is secured by united and COM

other interests as well as burdens on agri-
culture are secured. one way or another, by
the organized action of those Interested
The farmer has had but little opportunity
for such combinations. The Changers, il
was asserted, would do this work, but some
how or other it got to be an office-holding
body in many respects, and the real farm
ers gave it up. Now, we have Away wei
coined these organized moves of the agri
culturists, because the agriculture of this
country is it's real foundation, its real, re.
liable basis. We hope the New Orleans

Secretary of Agriculture.

The views which have been on several
occasions expressed in this paper, are en-
dorsed by the State which says that it ''has
urged again and again the necessity for
raising the Commissionership of Agricul-
ture at Washington to the dignity and the
usefulness Of a Department; and we have
good reason to believe that the day is not
far off when the farmers wishes in this re-
gard will be made fact. Only crumbling
ground is the standing place of those who
oppose this commendable measure-a
measure the effect Of which will be so
largely for the benefit of the farmer, whose
best interests are the foundation principles
Of peoples prosperity.
The Farmers Congress, composed of the
most thoughtful, progressive, and success
full farmers throughout the country, has
expressed most earnestly its support of the
bill now before Congress by which the Of
flee of Commissioner OF Agriculture will be
brought nearer to tho head of the Govern
ment through its elevation to place in the
Cabinet. This addition to the Cabinet is
no useless innovation; for the good that
must result from it is too plain to be ques-
toned. 1t violates in no manner the prin-
ciples of the most conservative of conser-
vatives. For as the time came when the
new Cabinet office-that of Secretary Of
the lnterior-became necessary, and was,
therefore, created. so now the time has
come when another new Cabinet office
that of Secretary of Agriculture-has be-
come necessary and must also be created.
Que addition has been showed by EXPERT
ence to be both necessary and effective; the
other, which will soon be made, cannot fail
to fulfil in like ,ranqsr the hopes of those
who have been Its advocates. According
to the growing ideas of civil service re-
form-ideas that will shortly be rooted in
fixed and immovable principles-the man
who shall fill SO important and responsible
position as that of Secretary of Agricul-
ture must be not only a philosophical but
a practical farmer-a man who is not only
acquainted with the best and most effec-
tive theories of farming, but man who,
from long experience and intelligent obser-
walton, has become familiar with the needs
of that great body of the people whose in
terests he shall represent at the Presidents
counsel.tabe. Such man, we feel sure,
the Farmers National Congress has found
when it recommends unanimously as its
choice the president of that Association,

Agriculture AMI Other Industries.

In another column will be found the re.
port of the meeting held at the Court
house for the purpose of having the county
and city represented in the State Assem-
bly, which will meet at Richmond the 18th
Of April for the purpose of advancing oul
agricultural and other industrial interests.
A large delegation was appointed, and
doubtless there will be a full attendance,
as all present in the meeting appeared i'm
pressed with the Importance of the move
ment.
The proposition introduced by Senator
Koiner elected favorable discussion, and
met with full approval. The important
matter of good roads was incidentally
touched upon by several speakers, all con-
curing that the time had fully arrived for
earnest, decided action for progress, and
the great advantages which would ensue
on the completion Of system of good
county and neighborhood roads.
A fine spirit prevailed and effective CO.
operation will doubtless guide all engaged
in efforts to promote our national pros

BLACK WALNUT.

Such has been the demand for black wal.
nut, that all the country in which it is
found accessible to transportation will soon
have yielded its treasure in that valuable
wood. The furniture manufacturers once
used it freely in solid pieces in their wares,
but now veneering is increasing rapidly in
turning out furniture because of the COM
parative scarcity and popularity of the
wood and the taste which prefers it to any
other except the expensive mahogany.
Planting and cultivating the black wal
nut and other valuable hard woods in Sec
tions where none existed or which have
been denuded is getting to be business,
profitable as well as identifying the coun-
try destitute of forest growth. The De-
partment of the Interior is lending its aid
in effective ways in encouraging the people
to embark in this new industry.
Without going now into forestry interests
generally, which will form a good subject
hereafter, it would be we'll for those
amongst us who have idle or Improbable
lands to consider their future interests in
connection with planting walnut groves,
The returns may seem to be too far of
for even young men, but if they will in
vestigate it and study over the matter
awhile, it may not prove so.
If the land is at hand, the capital re-
quired is a small matter beyond little ID
Dor. The delay in returns is the rub; but
that, too, is not so bad, all things consid.
cred, and when it does come it is with a
rush. Slower investments are often made
with the greatest care and prudence, and
why not try forestry when it is assured in
its season, with overlooking returns for all
spent in propagation?
1t is estimated that black walnut, under
little attention and culture, will grow to
good and merchantable size in Is or 20
years, and then the profit is 1850 per cent.
on all expenditure save the land. Lands
not serviceable for agricultural purposes
will answer. There are but few, if any
agricultural lands which pay profit equal
to this during the time stated.
Planting and realizing have been tested.
There is much open land in our country
yielding nothing upon which walnut groves
would make a charming change from pres
ent appearances, as well as bring large
money profits in the end.
