The only peason on the platform

tried for murder and cacti time mys

and proceeding until all the particles
were destroyed.

'lime Protest oftlme Slhoe Mau-s
IaCturCer.
The sihoo manufacturers bare pro
tested in great Iutmbers, again-,t the
present tariff as pruecting them out of
a most valuable foreign trado and
tetidiog to ruin their business. We
regard this protest as many times
more imipor taut an item of news than

question of personal rights in its

the rights of property becomo the

It fair sharo of influence ink the gov
eriment be accorded to the Southern
States. Wo do not believe that the
oxporiment of negroo suffrage is as
yet anything like a succel-srul one.
But, we would prefer its removal from
the sphere of national politics where
it only does the South harm, and that
it be 1-ft to the slow, quiet, operatiol
of irresistible laws of nature, to put
the eliormity down, or te completely
nullify its influence for evil. We
catru not if there were fifty amend
mo ents on t0he suiject, negro suFrige

or fall, just as slavery, (which was ini
tho eonltit lition, too, just as clearly as
inegro .uaifge) upon its meiits, as
the inutaie may disclose them.
T'IIms a Farming Couuntry.
Before the war, we recollect that
some high authority expressed a pref
oree for a good plantation inl A hhe
villo over a Mississippi or lRed lliv.er
bottom plant at ion, assorting that the'
rMoverg }>r.fits for a series of yearls
were greater. This year's expenrie
recalls this testimony to mind.
WVhile the crops elsewhere are sulfor
stng from the seasonis ini various ways,
in this whole Abbevillo belt of land,
stretching across the State, they are
doing about as well as usual, and with
remunerative prices, our farmers
should hav-o money in their pockets
aewt winter.
Consider another item--the price
they can get for their provisions here.
Upon some of the western farms, for
by hushels uf corn are raised to the
rerne, but selling at but 25 cents a
bushel, the money yield to the aore,
with more labor of course, being in
proportioni to the bulk of th& crop, is
but ten dollars. Why, 'eight bush'els
be the acre boro brings ten dollars,
anid the fodder and peas are extra.
This country, again, is healthy.
Without extravagance, we believe it
o he the beilthiest in the world. Toe
bte laboring man, indeed, to all pion,

joymoent of saitmnd health I

A remarkable triumllph of surgical
skill is chronicled ini the Luuisville
piapers. A few weeks ago a boy, six
3 ear is of age, while play ing on the
staiirway at the Galt House, fell a
distance of seventy feet., alighting
upon01 a stone floor, froin which lhe was
ralised1 apparently a lifeless shapeles
mass45. In the courso of his fall he0
struck a projecting corner of the
staircase, breaking an inch board
across the grain, ard fuirthier down ho
struck andl broke an oaik baluster an
inchl in d iamneter. Numerous frae
tures and a terril.le scalp wound were
produed by this frightful fall. Tihe
right atrm~ was crushedi into pices
above and( below the elb~ow, both legs
were broken at or near the ankle
joits, and4( innumerabl4 114)econ tusions
Iwer~e received all over the hody.
Nut withstaindina these dreiadful linju
ries, undler skillful surgical cairo the
ehil not ontly recovered, but now has
a perfect use of all his limnbs.
