Tbe next year this piece of ground was planted in corn, and the heavy yield showed conclusively the power and iniuence of green vegetable matter when properly applied to tbe soil. We are of the opinion that tbe soil is now rteher in vegetable matter than it was before tbe first crop was planted on it.

Ransom, the chief clerk of the agricoltnral department, has sketched for the Mtm and Coitrier the advantages, present and prospec tive, following the exhibits made at Mew Orleans by the Southern States, and particularly Sooth Carolina. He says: Of course, it is too . soon to make predictions as to the result of the Ex position, so far as the material interest of the State is concerned, bnt some benefits are already apparent, in a general way, I may say that the South ern exhibits have enthused the South ern people and astounded the people of other sections of the Union. The Exposition has undoubtedly fully demonstrated the superiority of the South over any other section of the country in natural resources. The beautiful exhibits of the Northwestern States ore composed chiefly of cereal productions, the Pacific States and Territories of minerals, the Northern and Eastern States of manufactured f iroducts aud machines, showing the iiventire genius of tlfbse energetic people, while the Southern States ex hibit everything that is shown in the other States and many things that are not exhibited in those State*. The mineral exhibits of North Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, Virginia and Ten nessee are equal to those of California, Arizona, Colorado, Dakota or New Mexico. Tbe grain exhibits of South Carolina, Louisiana, Mississippi,Texas and Kentucky are as complete and attractive as those of Minnesota, Kan sas, Nebraska, Iowa or Illinois. The timber exhibits ot any of the Southern States are not surpassed by those of any of the great lumber States of the Union. The exhibits of MANUFACTURED TRODUCTS in the Southern States’ departments furnish conclusive proof that the North ern and Eastern States no longer enjoy a moiiO[K)ly in that direction. The largest exhibits of agricultural ma chinery are made by Kentucky manu facturers, while Machinery Hall con tains numerous evidences of the in genuity of Southern mechanics. Bo that iu all the principal departments of the Exposition the South is competing successfully with any part of the Union, in the special exhibits the South is far ahead. Louisiana sugar is as superior to the Minnesota product as is possible for one article to surpass another iu excellence. Louisiana suit is practically without a rival. South Carolina rice heads the list. Florida defeated California iu the contest for premiums for citron fruits. Nortli Carolina golden leaf tobacco is un equalled. Tennessee marble is the richest and most beautiful at the Expo sition, with the possible exception of the North Carolina flesh-colored speci- meuji. Alabama iron is as superior as it is rbuodant, and her iron deposits and coal fields are inexhaustible. Ar kansas and South Carolina make the most varied and extensive display of fruits, apples, j>«aches, pears and gra;>e8 of any States in the I’niou. The sea island cotton of South Caro lina is not even approximately ap proached by tne staple grown any where else in the world, while tho phosphates of our State command the attention of the scientist, the man of commerce, aud expecially tho agricul turist. If the exhibits of all the other States were grouped together they would then be considerably below' the Southern States,in the variety of their productions. These facts have, of course, impressed themselves upon all intelligent and observant visitor* to tbe Exposition, and it is certainly reasonable lo suppose will give a great impetus to tlte development of South ern resources. Tbe commissioners from the South are enthusiastic over the prospect, ana arc unanimous in the opinion that their States will be im mensely benefited by their exhibits in tbe near future. Coming down to particulars, it is hard to say what immediate good has been done, but I may mention some things of probable profit to South Car olina. Some few weeks since the Japanese commissioner called at the South Car olina department for information re garding tbe PHOSPHATE ROCK of the State. He said that he was a member of the Japanese bureau of industry and, under a commission from that bureau, had been for two years in London investigating the manufacture and use of commercial manures. In his Investigation be had found allusions to the South Carolina phosphate de posits, but the information he bad been able to obtain was very meagre. He examined the rock ou exhibition in the State department and the chemicals used iu its manufacture. He found that fish scrap was one of the ingredi ents used for ammoniating purposes, and he at once expressed the opinion that as there are millions of tons of it in Japan it might be transported to South Carolina aud exchanged for phosphate rock, and if such an arrange ment could be made it would open a splendid market for the rock and de velop an industry of considerable magnitude. He returned to bis own exhibit and brought the commission two samples of the scrap alluded to This was sent to Professor Chazai, the chemist of tho department of agricul ture, who analyzed it and reported that its commercial value was about 25 per cent, higher than the wrap now used by the mannfoaturert of fortiliaen. This was communicated to the Japanese commissioner and he ex pressed tbe belief that while this chem ical test showed the superiority of the Japanese article, it could be laid down in Charleston at a much lower price than tip manufacturers new pay. He subeeqMMktly Informed me that he had communicated these facta tt> his Government, sod hoped to have all tbe information necessary to enable him to decide whether or net it is practicable to eitobUab tbe boiiMaa be desire*. Hfs*y* he WILL VISIT CHARLESTON at the etan of the Exposition, if not MtoMT, and .iimMlgau tin subject folly. Allusion to the matter was made in .an editorial in one of tin local papers and met the eve of a German who waa visiting the Exposi tion. He was ae interested in it that he called at the Sonth Carolina do per men t to , exhibit. He said be ami kafolt depoait in Germany, and he ' waooa why - '*151 ■ jlsed ■cad again, or Witw masnfoettftefs ami ■leers. A Mieslmippt planter who had never need commercial man urea Informed me that he won Id order thirty ton* of Sonth Carolina fertilizers this season, and wa* indnoed to do so by tbe exhibit. A gentleman who owns two large Orango grove# said that himself and. many other owuere of groves, who had heretofore used Northern fertilizers, won Id hereafter use nothing bnt tbe Carolina products. An owner of one of the largest sugar plantations near New Orleans said that he used about two hundred tons of fertilizers every season, and nearly all of it was manufactured in the North, but hereafter he thought # he wonid boy largely of the South Caro lina manufacturers. The Florida com missioner was presented with a quan tity of the South Carolina fertilizer, shipped to New Orleans for distribn- bution, and it was used on his orange roves, and he reports that the results ave been so satisfactory that he is sure many of the owners of groves in Florida will use it another vear. Many foi •mere from the Western States who have never used commercial manures of any kind arc anxious to make some experiments with them, and it is possi ble that some orders may be received from them, and If the introduetion of these fertilizers is satisfactory it will he followed by a large business. The South Carolina fertilizer exhibit has given such a boom to this industry that manutuclurers all over tbe Union will bo benefited, but of course not to the same extent as our own compa nies. THE WOOD EXHIBIT has attracted almost as much attention as the phosphate display. Lumber men from all sections of the country have visited tbe Exposition and have been pleased with the exhibit.", from all the Southern States. In the South Carolina department there are about 140 specimens of native woods, all of merchantable size, and they attract much attention. Inquiries relating to the timber resources of the State have been frequently made, and these in vestigations will no doubt result in a rapid development of the lumber in dustry at no distant day. The exhibit of manufactured goods and tbe maps of the water powers of the ^fate have attracted attention to the advantages afforded by the State for lactories of every description, and this should re sult in bringing capital here for in vestment in such enterprises. The varied agricultural productions of the State illustrated by tho exhibit have given a correct impression regarding our agricultural capabilities, and the interest that has been >bowii by visi tors in this division convince me that it will be the means of inducing an influx of PROSPEROUS RMAI.L FARMERS from the Northwestern States and elsewhere to South Carolina. The display of ores and building stones will, 1 am satisfied, cause the develop ment of our resources in that direction. Our special exhibits, rice, naval stores and fish, have been of immense benefit to the State in showing the variety ot our productions mid our natural wealth, while the exhibit of birds and animals from the Charleston Museum has not been excelled in the quality of the specimens even by the splendid displays of tho Smithsonian Institute, ana have not been equalled by that of any State. South Carolina has never been more favorably before the people of the world than she is to-day, and I do not exaggerate the IMPORTANCE OF THE EXHIBIT when I say that the good impressions regarding the resources of the State are in a large measure due to the stand we have taken at the Exposition. Some of the States could have remain ed away from New Orleans and not have been greatly injured by their absence, but Soutli Carolina lias been so long and so persistently misreme- sented that it was absolutely necessary for our State lo disabuse the public mind of the impressions that have been created by these false statements. I do not hesitate to say that this has been accompliscd and that hereafter we will stand before the country in our proper position. But great as the good ma\ be that our State bus de rived ifl this way, the greatest benefit has been iu the knowledge of our re* sources that the exhibit has given our own people. Old South Carolinians who left the State years ago visit the department at New Orleans aud arc astonished at the variety, quantity and quality of the exhibit. Our own people are little less surprised, ami they leave the Exposition with a high er regard for their homes than they ever entertained before. They exam ine the products of the other States, and then their own and they realize that South Carolina offers them every opportunity for the acquirement of wealth or the delights of a home that any other section does, and they re turn to the State with the determina tion to develop her resources and to spend Itheir lives upon her soil. If therefore, we waive all the possible benefits to come to the State from outside, we have been AMPLY REPAID for all expenditures on the exhibit by tbe elevation of tbe State in the minds of her own citizens. In addition to this, tbe work done by our people iu assisting the depart neut ;iu the collec tion of these specimens has given them a better understanding of the varied resources of the State, and this will result iu a better system of agriculture and the development of new ideas, and this will, in itself, go a long way in the advancement of the material progress of the State.

WASHixuitor, Mff 11.—Tbs cootast for tbs oastoms soffoctorship Is grew- Ipff non and mpre interesting, owing, rfo doubt, to the fact that tbore are no leas than ten persons applying for tba position. The records of tlw treasury department show that the following gentlemen have been recommended or have applications on fiio: A. H.Mow- ry, L. J. Walker, P. Moran, Arthur P. Priolean, Ellison 8. Keitt, John D. Kennedy, Edward F. Swcegan, and William J. Middleton. The last named gentleman was in the city Inst Satur day, and lie hofies to be selected as a compromise iietwccu Messrs. Mowry and Walker, who are recognized as ttie most prominent applicant* for the po sition. At the treasury' department neither the secretary nor any of his subordinates will venture a prediction on the subject, but they all agree that action is only delayed because of tbe numerous conflicting elements in tbe struggle. Tho secretary does not in tend to become involved or take sides with any of the contending factions, and as soon as the .South Carolinians are ready to agfoc upon one man ho is prepared to authorize the appointment. The President, through his private secretary, Col. Lament, states that he does not propose to take any part in the controversy, but will be governed en tirely by the recommemiation of Sec retary Manning. There is also an interesting fight in progress over the Columbia postmas- tership. The commission of the inenm- 1161)1 expired ou the 6lh instant, and the case is now upon the postmaster-gener al’s table watting for Senator Hampton and, Representative Perry to come to an amicable understanding. The Sen ator as a resident of Columbia, claims the right to name the postmaster at that place, and, therefore, recommends the selection of Mr. W. II. Gibbes. Representative Perry says the office is the most prominent one in his district and he proposes to have something to say about the appointment. He recommends the promotion of the dep uty postmaster, Mr. Lcaphcart, whom he claims lias won a promotion by the efficiency he lias displayed in virtually conducting tlie office for several years. The postmastei-general, like Secretary Maiming, refuses to become a party to the family quarrel of the South Caro lina Congressmen, amt, therefore, is holding the matter under advisement. Postmaster-General V'ilas has a ten der spot in his he u t for women who have to earn their own living, as his South Carolina Hiipointincnts made to-day indicate. Miss Mary E. Matter has lieen appointed postmistress at lUackvillo, Barnwell county vice Nix removed, uml 'B. li. Martin, who suc- | ceeded Nix, but failed to qualitv, and Mrs. Susan L.

Youtnans, of Columbia, to be United States district attorney for the State of South Carolina. This appointment was finally agreed upon la»t .'Saturday, and the recommenda tion of Attorney-General Garland was forwarded to the President yesterday. When the subject was considered at the Cabinet meeting to-day the selec tion of Mr. Yonuiaiis was heartily approved, and the President immedi ately afterward attached his signature to the npiKiintment. There ha- never been serious doubt about Mr. Youmans’s appointment at anr time since tbe 4th of March, al though he had numerous worthy com petitors. The records of the depart ment of justice show that the following gentlemen were recommended for the position: George E Hay nsworth, Sumter; T. C. Gaston, Chester; Jas. L. Orr, Greenville; James P.

A decidedly handsome womai), who carried her shoulders well back and her head high in the air, was walking clown Nassau street, New York, on Saturday morning shortly after 11 o’clock from Fulton toward John street.
