Ho is an ez-Gocfederate soldier and a democrat, who does not deny hie poli tics and fnakee no pretension lo heflog anything else. He was appointed ft\ the request of Senator A. H.

Mr. Stephens being too ill at that time to go to, the President walked put to the carriage and bad a conveisatiob with the two gentlemen.

A man named Huff, yrbo has been a conservative democrat, was strongly rejBoimnepded.jami, oven the republicans said they would be satis fied with his appointment; i t; Thb nomination was fo^ some time before the Judiciary committee of the Senate, but it was last week reported back to the Senate unfavorably. It was placed uti the calendar, and tot several executive sessions it has been the cause of adjourpment, and both partite earned vmwMlng to biliig on a vote. The President was himhelf dls- Inclined to intdtiere. He vfas besought to withdraw the nomination, Lat lie dejjhne^l saying that If It was aft Im proper one the SepR|,q would^ioubtless reject it. Hu bad no feeling about lbs mattpr pne way or another, and was disponed tfrlet the Senate taka its own WtoWr.N close.of the war, joined the republican party as the party of loyalty and bon es»y? n He said that senators on the other side of the chamber might, pre tend tO-the Freeldeftt and the Sienatp that such appointments sp thqf of Mr, Fitzsinflhofip vFefif fbr rh4 good Of tltA country, and they might delude the President Into sneh belief •, Mit riepnl^ llcans oyght not to be deceived ; stich appointments were not for the good of the country, but foy, the good of the democratic party] S tor Edmunds followed Mr. Conft- much the same strain. 1 Mr. Hoar took tbq floor, j His speech Was vary friendly to tbs Presi dent.

Altogether the women managed well enough except with regard to their bonnets. In total Ignorance of tbe Parisian decree, which with the rest of the world bad reduced these to a mere idea, they went on ♦ steadily addinj-to • the eiae of theirs- until in 1866, when tbe barrier of the|r armies gave way. they stood revssied In veri table sky-scrapers, huge coal-scuttle shaped bonnets, in which their beads sad faces were buried. In truth, how ever, their ingenuity was wonderful. They made everything they wore— gloves, hats and shoes (cloth shoes to- which the shoemaker added the soles), as well as other articles usually of feminine manufacture.

Who invented the Con federate candle history will probably never tell us; but from Virginia to Texas it became A Southern institu tion, giaddonisg the firesides of the Confederacy. This—tho candle—was a long rope-of wax, about the thiok- ness of an ordinary lead pencil, wound on a wooden stand or frame—the Con federate candlestick. To make the candle, bftttowax And resin (one part of resin to eight of wax) were melted to gether, and a long strand of caudle- wick Was drawn three times through the mixture. The rope was usually a tong one, as many bauds as possible being pressed into service for tho work. When finished the caudle was wound eo-tbe camHeetfok Hke- yarn upon -n reel. The end left free was drawn through a strip of tin nailed for the purpose on the top of the candlestick. As the eandle burned away the waxen rope was. unw uud, still following out the slmilltuda of the reel'of yarn. The light was dfm, but clear and steady, and near the candle was suffi cient for all ordtnary purposes. The iigbted candle required watchipg, and it was Unsafe to leave it long with no one near.- . tm OMp^Sl **. ..f : -uDIo M-ffitMaaf dwrlw.} f 5 to upon Mb', the business Jhan lost': the tie Uhariicter <ft fit ,t f. ’Mw ^ <£ th$ deposit lair IrfeAst no more ftowiaVs BuMy ft* lftbor Wy wffl - pitt Yuslat -oo, tegtolaOqn so *“ first; T -.HO ofte« tha worst, of wtater tnoaths.

While )to r ght to bis seat was undecided tbe tongue of Gen. Butler has been tied. “Now that he has been admitted U to bto lutentlop at the first proper moment to rise In his seat and make a personal statement with regard to bto connection with the Hamburg affair; 1 , . * , which he will,follow with ademanri lor.) Af , - an investigation. The investigation heretofore made In this matter was en tirely of an ex parte character, and be was not even Informed that it waa in progress. He said to Senator Cameron, ofWtoconsoo, who waa chairman of the Senate committee sant to South CarolIna, and who was laying great stress on the affirmation of negro wit nesses, that there would be no diffi culty in procuring any number of affi davits from the negroes of South Car olina that he (Mr. Cameron) had act fire to the city of Chicago in 1871. [, The case of Mr. Eustto, of Louslana, 100 exaotin 6 o™ 1 would loose b which was reported favorably from the committee on privileges and elec tions yesterday, will, it to expected, be taken up before Christmas bcflldayi; Three of tlie Republican members of the committee (Messrs, Ingals, McMil lan and Cameron of Wisconsin) will submit a minority report against Eus tto. The committee decide that Mr. JEustto to entitled-to the seat from Jan uary 12,1876, which would only entitle hltft to draw pay from that time, Instead of since march 4tb, 1873, tbe beginning of the term for which be was Elected.

It to not now be- Ufffeed thht there will be any serious contest made over the admtoaioo of Mr. Eustto. r&e unexpected atti tude, qf Conover and Patterson has brought about results which no bos' dreamed of a month ago. to * cause why cotton planting does hot pay. One cause Is that we fnajra .top llttie per acre; but a far more j potent caase for our failure to the fact that, the cost of production Is too great. And this great coft arises /rom two or three other causes that can bft averted by every farmer upon hto farm. In the first piafte, the plow stock on the farm 1s too feeble. On tbe major ity of farms the negroes are new tbe owners of the plow animals, and uine- ty-nlno out of every hundred of their mules or horses are unable tft do a full day’s work, at atiy time, from tlie earliest ploughing in tbe spr|jg till the crop is laid by. ( Jn the seeoncf place, tbe tools with which most of oqr farms are now worked .ftrft : WQLthle6a. Raader, Ifyen have a band that contracts to pny rent fox the use of your land, examine the hdes and plows with which he pretends to work. We arc In that predtoament, and wu know from sad experience that money to lost by permitting such tools to be used on tho plantation. In the third place, the negroes have an Interest, almost universally, in tiis crops they cultivate, xml whether you jptilege of Rayttfg whether ttilS ot tfiat crop needs work and will get it to day, or must wait till' to-inorraw. And one day’s delay In tho working season to Often the ruination of an cntlA; crop In the fourth [dace, the farmer who hires for wages to in so small a min ority, that though ho says bs hires and controls his employee’s, time he to compelled to overlook many Imprai- tlous because custom sanctions idle ness ad libitum on a majority bf the farms, and if be were to be careful as to lofts of time, he wotrid be congldered labor. And In tbe fifth place, our farmers are ail in debt, they are aM poor, they live on hope, and though they encour age tbe belief that they are edonom- ioai, nineteen in every twenty llge be yond their mefflfo. Tbs mahners and customs of,our farmers, os far as, re gards their food and cloUdog. are jpet now what they wer» In I860. Who smokes ot chews any Iras teba<**>? Who drinks any less whiskey ?
