State, a total of 1900 and odd votes

voters of Connecticut have the solacins

Governor who was not elected rules
over them, while the majority candi-

WHAT DO WHITE WORKINGsIEN

But speaking ofcOlonizatiOn,it wouldn't
hurt West Virginia to import ten thousand

state. and it wouldn't hurt to have a
larger negro population. They are good.

THE PROOF AGAIN.

The REGISTER reproduceS this morn
ing in its enlarged edition the proof pos
tive that protected American manufac-
turerS sell to foreigners from 10 to 20
per cent cheaper than they sell to Amer
leans. They must make profit at
these figures or surely they would not
sell at them. Yet they are bowling for
more protection, and the Mckinley tar
in has given them more than they ever
had before. At the same time they are
selling in the free markets of the world,
invading Europe herself and lmdcrseUing
her on her own ground. Yet they
clamor for protection to American la
Dor" against competition with the pau
per labor" of Europe and under the
''broad shield of American law they
gouge and plumber the American con-
sumer to the extent the tariff permits.
The foreign and domestic price lists
of American manufacturers reproduced
this morning are official and are pub
lished by the manufacturers themselves,
or their agents-the foreign figures for
foreign circulation only.
This proof is proof positive of how the
Republican idea of protection works
and for whose benefit the Mckinley bill,
greatly increasing these special favors,
was framed and passed.
We again submit it to the farmers and
consumers generally.

WE reproduce elsewhere this morning
the exposure of the QUAY colonization
scheme. The correspondence of QUAY,
GARRISON, LINDSEY, MCLEAN, SMITH
and ATKINSON is so interesting that it
is worth reading again. 1t completely
exposes the nature of the infamous
scheme to import an ignorant negro
population into West Virginia to turn
the State over to the Republican man
ayers, and take the places of white la
borers. The astounding thing about it
is that this villainous scheme is not de-
MED. Republican leaders and newspa-
perS, while pretending that it is for the
benefit of the State Heaven save the
markD do not even attempt to deny it.

Thore is absolute necessity for good

greater pay IS an excellent measure
Yazoo City Herald
We fully concur in the above. The
Office Of County Assessor is one of the
very gravest importance, and none but
good men and competent men should
ever be selected to fill it. Under the
present law the assessor is the hardest
worked and poorest paid official in the
county. He does equally as much work
as the Sheriff or Chancery Clerk, and
gets about four times as little pay. We
are aware that the above proposition is
not very accurately stated-mathemat-
ically-but we believe it is lucid enough
obe understood. We hope our Legis,
lators will have common sense enough
to see the necessity for amending the
law, as above indicated, and will then
also have courage enough to make the
amendment. The salary should be
made sufficient to induce first-class men
To accept the Office. We do not advocate
any reckless extravaeanco or useless
waste of the peoples money, but we do
abhor this short-sighted, contemplate
cheap-boarding-house system OF poltl-
cal economy, which "saves at the spile
and leaks at the bunghole."

GREEN SAND MARLS.
How Lands in the Timbered Region
OF East Texas Can be Made
Productive.
A Permanent Fertilizer Often Found In Large
Quantities Adjacent to these Sandy
or Worn Out Lands.
DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE, INsUR- J
ANCE, STATISTICS AND HISTORY,
AUSTIN, Tex, Sept. 25, 1870.

1t is well known that IN almost every
county in the timbered region of East
Texas a large proportion of the soils are
of sandy character, and if of any use
at all as farming lands soon wear out &.
These are in part the pine lands of that
region. Any method of restoring their
fertility which combines certainty of
such increase with very little outlay must
be of interest to the owners of such lands
and to those who till them.
The reports of the geological survey
contain much OF the information desired;
but as the edition of those reports is nee
essarily limited, they are not accessible
TO the great majority of those to be ben
Gifted by them. / therefore take this
method of giving greater publicity to one
of the important facts developed by the
survey, and hope the publishers of Texas
newspapers Will assist in disseminating
the information.
Analyses of the representative soils
develop the fact that they are lacking in
the phosphorio acid and potash which
are absolutely essential to fertility, and
IN some instances the lime is also def
cient.
In some soils either the potash or the
phosphorio acid is present in large guam
titles, but when this is so the other is
generally wanting. Such soils are more
fertile than others of their class; but
still not as much so as they would be
were all the ingredients present in
proper proportion. The absence Of lime
is not by any means as general, but in
some localities the amount contained in
the soil is less than is needed TO perform
its part in producing good crops. In all
other respects many of these soils are all
that they should be, and contain every
other element of fertility, in addition to
being very easily cultivated.
In very many localities throughout
this district there occur, on or near the
surface, beds of what Is known as green
sand mari, some of them being of great
thickness, twenty feet or more, and ex-
tending over large areas. This mari is a
mixture OF sand and clay wi green
sand, and often contains quantities of
shells. Green sand, or ealconite, as it Is
often called, Is a mineral of green color
composed of silica (sand) in chemical
combination with iron and potash, and
usually contains variable quantities of
other substances. This mail also con-
tains more or less phosphorio acid, aud
the shells furnish all the necessary lime.
Where It occurs IN its original and unal-
tered condition it is of a more or less
pronounced green color, due to the color
of the green sand in it. Where il has
been subjected 10 chemical action the
green sand is gradually decomposed and

perhaps be the usual amount required,

more.
