SENATE.

The frs. measure up for third read
ing was Senator Youman's joint reso-
luton proposing constitutional con-
yention. Its author made strong and
ingenious speech in its favor. He ex-
planned that the purport of the resolu-
ton was not to call q convention, but
to give the people an opportunity to
say. whether they favor one or not.
He cleverly appealed to the sympsthies
Of those members who desired such
reforms as have recently been proposed
in the Constitution and laws, indicat-
ing to them that the formation of
new Constitution embodving the de-
sired changes would be short cut to
the attainment OF their desires. He
argued earnestly against the continu-
ance Of 8 Constitution which the white
people Of the State had had no part in
framing, which was hotch-potch OF
the provisions of constitutions of other
States untitled to our people and not
respected by them. He claimed that
the cost Of constitutional convention
would not be excessive and urged that
the Democracy of South Carolina were
row so firmly in control of the State
that their influence in the convention
woald be transcendant

AGRICULTURAL DEPARTMENT.
Peanut Flour.

No doubt, ere long, "pcanut four''
will be an important product Of the
South. Virginia is set down this year
for 100000 bushels, Tennessee for
250, 900, and North Carolina at 1856 700
bushels, these being the chief States
engaged in their cultivation. and those
in which it was first introduced from
Africa. In Virginia they arc called
"peanuts :" in North Carolina, ground
peas" in Tennessee, "goobers;" and
in Georgia, Alabama and Mississippi
"p!nders." Virgiuians are beginning
to turn the peanut into flour, and say
it makes a palatablc "biscuit." In
Georgia there is custom, now grow
ing old, of grinding or pounding the
shelled peanuts and turning them into
pastry, which has some resemblance,
both in looks and taste, to that of cocoa
nut, but the peanut pastry is more oily
and richer, and We think healthier and
better every way. Ifas some people
believe, Africa sent curse to Amer
lea in slavery, she certainly conferred
upon her blessing in the universally
popular peanut, which grows so we'll
throughout the Southern regions that
we shall soon ee able to cut off the
now large importation altogether.-
Sarannah Telegram.
Peanuts produce as we'll in Missis-
sippi and Alabama as anywhere, yet
we import from other States nearly all
the peanuts sold by venders in these
two States. In the aggregate, the sum
paid out is large. Peanuts are rarely
raised in the sections named, except in
very small patches; very rarely do we
hear Of as much as an acre or even a
half acre being planted. The crop can
be raised at little cost and with profit,
upon land that is too poor to make
cotton i'll paying Quantity. Why not
raise more peanuts? Why should
Tennessee and Virginia and North
Carolina monopolize the peanut busi-
ness? Let us at least raise enough for
home consumption, and a few bushels
to sell. In these small crops, proper
ly managed. there is money, and it is
money We are all striving for.
Try an acre in peanuts and see if
YOU cannot find nice profit in this
crop.-E. II. in Lire Stock Journal.

The South as 4 Dairy Section.

Northern people have never yet got
all accurate conception of the posi-
bilities of the South. This may be
partly owing to lhe prejudices which
the war engendered, and which make
it next to impossible for those who en-
tertain such prejudiccs to form I; cam
did Investigation Of the resources of
that really fertile section, There have
appeared in our columns from time to
time, letters from the South cxtoiling
it as a dairy region. Then we have
had letters which rather ridiculed the
idea. The fact is that the South is en-
tering upon new life. Things have
changed since the war. The people
have been compelled to adjust them
selves TO the ncw order Of things, and
in measure they have had their prog
ress retarded because their surround
ings were new and strange. Il has
been very natural thing ior many Of
them to feel irritated over the enanc:-
patton of their slaves and no doubt
that many of them have spent valua-
b!e time in chaiing when they should
have devoted themselves to improving
their condition. But they have made
improvement notwithstanding, and
are making more every day. i.c lm-
poverishlncM Of The Sonlh, - The re-
suit of the war, has not been al un-
mixed curse t. them "a they will yet
see, if they have not already scts IL.
Their section is netu:alIy fertile Nat
urally they have great deal OF good
land. But much Of it has been abused,
and it has not been made 10 produce
its best. Cotton and touacco have been
the ruin of the South. Tha, il curious
remark to make in view OF generally
recognized facts, but We believe it is
true. And further many in The South
have been led to sec ii. They have
seen that general farming viii pay
them better than eternal cotton and
tobacco growing. More will see it.,
and the live stock of the South will I'M
prove greatly in the next twenty-five
years as a consequence.
Among the industries that are to
prove profitable in that section is the
dairy. They have all the surround
ings to make dairy profitable; and
having climate that favors aluxurous
growth Of grass, and soil which can
be made TO grow it luXuriantly even
though IN sections it may now be run
down, why should the diary not find j
comfortable home there? 1t is assert
ed that there is now better grass there
than there is at the North. There crab
grass grows well, grows every where
that it has the chance, and makes ex-
cellent pasture and excellent hay.
Glover and timothy. Henry Stewart
recently said in the Amcrican Agricul-
turalist, do better than they do in the
North. Oat grass fourishes. Enough
has been said to show why the dairy
should do we'll in that section. They
can grow all that is needed to feed the
COW; she can run out in the larger
portion of the section, all the year
round; food can be produced chcaply
and if the business of dairying cannot
be made to pay there, tproperly man
aged, it cannot be made to pay any
where. But the South, taking it alto
gether, must get better stock, and
here will be one of the most lucrative
fields to operate in that our breeders
have ever found.-So. Lire Stock

TWO More Important Cases.

Your agent being in Columbus, Ga few
DAYS ago, and meeting the venerable brother,
]. II Campbell, we asked him for the news.
His reply was, Il have two more important
cures effected by Swift's Specific to report"
This venerable man is known far and wide
for his unremitting iabOrs OF love in the be-
half of the poor of Columbus. 1t will be re-
mcmbered that the Swift Specific Co has
donated quite an amount OF their famous
medicine to be distributed by Mr.. Camp
bell among the poor OF the CITY, hence his
remark He said:
AZ have Just seen a lady who has been
greatly annoyed by a letter in one OF her
hands It had given her much trouble and

several physicians during the past three or
four years with the old remedies, but with
out giving any relief. 1 suggested Swjft's
Specific, ana she took four bottles and is
now apparently perfectly we'll Her hand Is
smooth and not single sign OF the disease

renevates the system"
''What about the other ease?"
We'll, that was q lady also. She had been
affected with the eczema for four years
Her face, hands and arms, as well as her
I body, was covered over with sores ana
