[From the St. Louis Correspondent of the Courier-Journal,] Tho Republican party will not be able to carry out in the South what they propose, but there is no help in Hayes; Democratic majorities in both houses of Congress will secure and in sure good local governments in all the Southern States, The end of enrpct baggery is at hand, and a better state of things is confidently to be looked for in the States now burdened with bogus governments. So fur as it is true that the experience of sue h in justice in the South will cause the for bcarancc of injury to appear like a kindness, so far will Hayes' policy be what is now proposed by his friends. Uolief from injuries that ho will bei unable to inliiet, will be a blessing Thcve specious proposals from the Republican party come us a quasi apology to the Smith anil to the Dem oerath: party at large for the iniqui t ies of the Presidential court. They are meant to console us. It is not seriously expected that we shall be much cajoled. The pacific policy twaddle, first und hist, is an admission of fraud and a confession of weakness. When Republicanism was at its zenith, and ran riot, its tone towards the South was anything but tender. Then they calculated coolly upon making Tciritorics of such Southern States us they could not control, upon African i/.ing ?01110 of the Gulf Stales, and up on forcing the South "to accept the situation"?meaning what not by (hat?by Northern plantations, and the annihilation of whatever is dis tinetivc in the South. Now, as they lind that the y are losing their grip, and that in order to hold on to t. c general government they must pre vent the South from becoming ?'solid," (hey beg u.v to keep iu a good humor, compliment Southern conservatism, and < ngngc iu advance to bury the linti lu t. It i.- like the song of a dv ing swan, sweetest at t he last. N 'thing that Mr. Hayes can do can make his administration good. It was larceny all the same, although we dropped the stolen shilling into tin* missionary bo.v, '1 he country can not be blinded to manners in which Hayes was made the president by any real or i in aginary virtues of his. In the four years to come,* in order to avoid politi eaI decapitation, ho, must serve at least two ?masters to the tolerable satis faction of both of them?his party magnates on the one baud and opposi lion majorities in Congress on the other. To fail in this will ruin him, and to succeed will hand his name down to posterity as the greatest poli ticnl acrobat in history. Why the Hampton Trial Justices do not Act The importance of this question, ami the correct answer to the people of Charleston, cannot bo over estima ted, ami with a view to acquainting our readers with the present state of a flairs, a statement was obtained yes tci'day from Mr. Robert Chisolm Jr., which is substantial}' as follows: Mr.* Chisolm states that the trial justices in this city appointed by Governor Hampton are C. II. Rivers, Ksrj., R. R. Buriiet, Esq., Maj. De Lany and himself. By consent Mr. Chisolm has taken the en tiro manage mcnt of tho effort to enforce their authority. Of course a trial justice cannot seek business, but must wait until it is brought to him. If pcopl j will not go before the Hampton trial justices, they cannot hclpt it. Mr. Chisolm expresses himself prepared to force to ail issue any case that may be brought before him. lie says that about, the last of February a case was brought before him by the British Consul, charging a sailor on the Eiig lish steamship Bavaria with having stolen a large sum of money. After investigating the case, he issued a commitment and put it the hands of the constablo with orders to deliver the prisoner to tho jailor. The jailor refused to receive the prisoner because he had been instructed by Sheriff Boweil not to rcccivo any prisoners committed by any of the Hampton trial justices. On tho constable ro porting this refusal to him he turned the prisoner over for sale keeping to tho United States commissioner, J. E. 11 agood, Esq. As soon thereafter as he could see Judge Reed he explained tho case to him, and staled that he understood that ho (Judge Reed) had determined not to decide the question of what justices were to be recogniz ed, and asked him what course to pursue, as the jailor had released the prisoner charged with a grievous crime. Judge Reed replied that he would not hear the case, and, if he was forced to hear i t, he would not decide it, and gave as a reason that it was the request of ?he Rar of Char leston that he should not decide in the case of the jury commissioner, its it was indelicate for him to decide a a question which was before the Supreme Court. He said that it was best for these matter i to come through those justices ic cognized by (he she rill' and jailor. Mr. Chisolni cyi dently thinks 'that the whole blame for the people of this city being bail lied by bogus justices should fall on the Hon. J. 1*. Reed, the Judge of this Circuit, A Sewing Machine Companys Failure. Another sewing machine company (the Beck with) has succumcd to the pressure of the times, and gone into the hands of a receiver, it is not a question of profits now with the best, of them, but a struggle for existence. In view of the general prostration of business, and the difficulty of making collections, the enormous credits al lowed to purchasers of machines arc enough to tnx the strength of every establishment. It would he a sad day lor the needle woman, when the coin panics could no longer extend to them the considerations they now enjov. No other branch of trade so indulges them. Tho butcher, the baker, tho grocer, and the dry goods ?lealer must have their pay, which is often in a great measure secured to them by the earnings of the sewing machine; while the sewing machine dealer must wait for his ptiy until the family is warm ed and clothed and fed by the means be has furnished. It would be indeed a public calamity for the leading sew ing machine companies to break down . It would snap the foundation of the sewing woman's credit, weaken the guaranty of the machines, and cut oil' the necessary supplies and repairs. A sewing machine needle is as good as an indorscr of a promissory note, and purchasers should scrutinize as care fully the responsibility of the vendors as of a Life Insurance Company! in which their lives are insured.?tfeic iiiff Machine tloarnal. ??^- ? m ?-.~ Dr. Enrquhurson says : ".So long as a brain worker is able to sleep well, and to lake a fair proportion of out door exercise, it may safely be said that it is not necessary to impose any special limits on the actual number of hours which he devotes to his labors. But when what is generally known as worry steps in to complicate matters, when cares connected with family ar rangements, or with those numerous personal details which wc- can seldom escape, intervene; or when the daily occupation of life is in itself a fertile source of anxiety, then wc find one or other of these three safeguards biokon down." Thanks, and a thousand ol" them, to that unknown genius who entrusted a trunk, with a hive of hues in it, to the tender mercies oi a Syracuse baggage master, the other day. The company will pay for the bees and the doctor thinks his patient will be around again in a fortnight or so. JtiKFim s.?.Judge Jeffries, of no tor io?s memory, (mining to a man with his cane, who was about to be tried, said, "There is a great rogue at the end of my cane." The man to whom he pointed, looking at him, "Which end, my lord ?" Sheop Husbandry. Mr. A. 11. Terkins, of Verneint, a well known breeder of sheep, rend a useful essay before the Ycrnnnt Hoard of Agriculture, from which we make a few extracts : Good sheep husbandry costs less than poor, and pays threefold more. Good .'?beep husbandry consis'.s in a great measure in doing the right work at the right time. Thus, if we shear sheep, we do it in season; do not let them wear their fleece a month alter it bus become burdensome to (.hem. June is one of the best mouths in tho year for sheep to thrive, it they are shorn. It costs less to house a flock of sheep that at e just shorn, before a storm, than it docs to cart them to the barn when they are ben timed and chilled. It costs less (,) mend the fence, before the sheep get into the habit of being tin roily, as we call it. It costs less to cut sind cure the hay in season and when the sun shines, than it does to do it out uf season and in rainy w eather, if from any cause our hay is poor, it costs less to feed some grain in season, than it docs to let the sheep lose flesh and get poor, and then spend our time in nursing and doctoring them. 1 think there is a proverb which is, that good food is cheaper than doctors. Without pur suing this subject, further, I repeat that good shctip husbandry eoits less than poor, and pays threefold better. Ai flock of sheep require but little care during the Summer months, except that they hav". plenty of good feed und salt, and arc seen to that none of them are sick or diseased. The principal work to he done in this season is to raise a suitable quantity of root, &c, and cut in the proper season, and cure well, and store the necessary supply of hay ami grain. lvir*i~r ..applies, and pumpkins arc necessary, to some extent, for the sheep in Winter, not only on account of the nourishment they centum, but to supply the lack of green .'bod, and to keep the. sheep in a healthy con dition. The cutling of the hay in proper season, and curing well, and storing the same, is one of the essential points of good sheep husbandry. If, from any cause, we fail to do this, our sheep the. next Spring arc poor anJ weak, and we have bad luck in raising lambs, the sole cause id which is, that the slieep during the Winter have been rating poor hay, and vainly en deavoring to obtain from the same their necessary amount of nourish ment which the haydid not contain. Coarse and rank timothy makes fair slieep hay, if it is cut a few days be fore it begins to blossom, and is well eniod. Nearly all kinds of low lands and swamp hay tire good sheep hay, if cut in season and well cured. Sheep prefer a variety of good hay, instead of being confined to one kind only. Lai libs should be weaned when they arc four months old, ami turned into good feed. Jf they are fed daily, in addition to good grass and hay, one pint of oats and shorts apiece, until they arc turned out to grass next Spring, they will have a good start toward making a sheep with a good constitution. 1 believe it to bo a fact, if wo would raise sheep with good constitutions, we must supply them liberally during their growth with that kind of- food that will furnish them w ith the necessary amount of hone, muscle and strength. Sheep, and lambs in particular, should be housed during cold storms in the Kali and he fed with hay, which they should learn to cat before they are entirely deprived of grass. All kinds of sheep, and breeding ewes in particular, should come to the barn in good condition in the Kail. This is necessary in older that they may be able to well develop their lambs. All kinds of sheep should be allowed to run out upon the ground daily in the late Kali and early AVinter, as long as tho ground is bare. This is necessary for their exercise, which promotes health, strength and vigor. A reasonable amount of excr eise is necessary for sheen during the entire Winter and Spring. Sulphur and aslua should he fed to sheep with their salt during the Winter. Sulphur is health)' for llie sheep, and is ollen sivc to vermin. Ashes arc also healthy and are es sential for hreeding ewes. I presume that some of you have seen Jambs ? lint when they were first dropped were strong, their dams gave a good ? plan lily of milk, yet , in a few days, the. lambs would begin to droop and finally die. If you were to open the stomachs of such lambs, in some cases you would find them packed and dis tended with hard curds, which wcte j the cause of their dentil. The remedy for this is to feed the breeding ewes with some kind of* a mild alkali, lik< ashes, for some time previous to their being d roppedi Sheep should be turned out upon tho ground daily, as soon as iheiv is a spot bare that is large enough for them to stand upon, for the air in their pens ami stables is generally im pure, and no amount of good feed will supply the buk of good air and exercise. There are various diseases which sheep and lambs sometimes have, and troubles to encounter in breeding sheep. There arc causes for all these, [j should be one of the studies of the sheep breeder to Icain what thoiC causes arc and how to avoid them; when wc do that we shall have good luck in shci3p husbandry'. K eping Stock Clean. It ought to be the duty of the stock man to see that all cattle that arc kept constantly tied up should receive a thorough brushing daily. Stock that are accustomed to have their heads tied get very dirty a boat the neck and shoulders unless they re ceive a careful "grooming." Cleanli ness is very esscuti d for^Catllo always under cover, not only because diense is thereby prevented from making its inroads, I ul also because stock thrive better, ami reach maturity a great deal quicker, when carefully tended, than when they are not. Cattle kept in hnmmels or loose boxes do not, perhaps, require so much attention as I those wdiosc heads arc tied to the. stall, as they can with freedom lick themselves, but they should not be neglected on that account; an 1 the j careful stock fanner will do well to see that his stockman gives them pro per attention. It frequently happens, however, that cattle do be com 2 very dirty about the body?whether from neglect, or a natural predisposition to get dirty, it is uncccssary to consider. In such cases, a good remedy is to ap ply to the affected parts a mixture of fish oil and flour of sulphur, in the proportion of four ounces of sulphur to a quart of oil. This mixture should bo vigorously rubbed into the body, and about three days after!this ha* been done, the affected parts must re ceive a good washing with soft soap and warm water. The oil and sul phur may be applied once more in the same manner as before, the mix ture being made a little stronger should there be an observable im provement from the first washing; This mixture applied twice generally suffices to effect a complete euro of tho ailment.? London hive Stock Journal, A Young Man in Love. A young man not long since ap proached us and complained of being sorely alllictcd with that disease called love, and wanted advice as to tho means of relief. Seeing his forlorn ondition, and being satisfied, of bis lack of courage to "pop the question," we were at a loss to advise him as to the proper means of relief. Happen ing to remember, however, the follow ing which wc saw floating round some years ago wc suggested that he try the remedy. Ho was highly elated and asked that we publish the epistle, in tho hope that it might reach the object of his adorations.
