'THE TOBACCO PLANT, CALEB B. GREU. EDITOR & PROPRIETOR DURHAM. APRIL 12th, 1876, District Convention. . A convention of the Detnoaratie Con-, servative voters of the Foartfe Con gressional, District will be held in tbe city of Raleigh on Tuesdty, the 1 3th day of Jane next, for the purpose of nominating a candidate for .Congress and presidential elector, and Selecting ft two delegates to therjSt. .Louis Conren I tion. A full at;etfdanrce is earnestly de- ''. sired. Each couuty will be entitled to one vote for every one hundred vot es and fractional part o'vet fifty given for Mertintoa in 18(72. V Efy order of the, District Executive - " ' 't Committee. . . '.'!- .f . IT; A. London, .Jr. ; Chairman. ; March 31st, 187G. ( A Word to Farmer. " The last New York xTobctcdo Leaf coaairiad an article;; headed "how to improve the loaf tobiicco trade," which contained same" good) ideas. Quoting ffma gentleman who had just returned from an extendid trip in the country, it says: the. farmers will, resolve and adhere to the (resolution j not ta raise any tobacco for (lo next two years, trade in leaf tobacco will revive so as t afford a reasonable profit to ' both ; farmers and dealeirsj and if . not", prices will I continue to decline until jthere-is r-othin r but ba iki u)!cy left fdr those who remain in any branch of tho tobac co business." While! wo are n,ot pre pared to C3cur fully in those views, -yet it-would be much' j better for the far . mors and the c tuntfy if; less tobacco was raised. If our farmers could be in ' duced to plant less tobacco and more grain, in a few years the farmers of this country would be the ntpst independent ... people that ever lived. A great many planters raise tobacco jto the. exclusion of everything eke, and the consequence is when their tobacco is put on the mar ket and sold', they lay their mpney out for , corn, bacon and hay, and go trudg. ing back home Joaded with the very artieles that ought to be the products of their own, farms. 'As long as this is the easel our country will remiin poor and : there is no help for It. It is a; general thing throughout the country 4tat th V jrger portion of tne plants are ail Kiuea, Had if tb.3 farmers can only - succeed In Raising enough plants for a half a crop Ae sequel will prove that it Was the Mitl"thlng that ever bappenedj foir our auntry. The farmers wh6 raise all Ahe necessaries 6f life on his own plan m A . 111 11 1 tation always carries home a pocKet tuii "of money when he sells his tobacco. The same rule applies with equal force to the cotton plan'ers as well a3 the tobac- 'co growers. . Our,, farmers must relii Iquish the idea of the one crop f systeni Will they doi? ; f Slavery Iii Brazil. The British Consul at PernamMico states, in his report of midsummer, 1575, that the deportation and sale of slaves from the northern Provinces jto Rio Janeiro and the Provinces south of it .vbas increased to so serious an extent as 4 to cause gloomy forebodings and the probable abandonment of the j planta tions." He considers that recent legis- ' ' ' - jf . '- Jatlon has made it probable .that in c " Vixty or seveuty years, and' possihly less -.time, there will be no slaves in Brazil. lie notes that nearly all the slaves rot born in Brazil;; but brought oyet from Africa, long for their freedom in j order -to get back to their own country; and ' although they may have "been mere m .fants wlien made captives, they N will work and toil to buy their freedom, which is permitted by .Briziljaij' law. ; The British Consul at Rio also Jobserves in a report pf his, dated December, 1876, - that considerable cumber of ' slaves, through distress in th? North, Jbad been thrown into the market and r ... i i i bought by the more prosperous coffee ' . planters of "the South. The s mall deal ers alone disposed of staves! to the value'of J630j00O, for employment on conee estates, tue transier, oi course, v representing so much land thilown out of cultivation in the North.' The f labor 5 question is of urgency in Brazil. An -; official retnrn states the grossiMnamber f slaves in the' Brazilian Empire at . 1,409,448, the total population being computed at about 1 l.OOO.OUO souls. Th Republican journals of Vermont are complaining bitterly that their State 5 .Convention was captured by the "bum mer" Ulement, and did not represent the party at all. But then as the j bummer element usually captures theRepubli oan State Conventions there was no use for these Vermonters to get mad. They ought to be nied to the thing! by this time- ' - The ;Hillsboro L Recorder, earnestly advocates Gen. W. R; Cox for jLieuten ant Governor. Whom does the , Recor X?r favor for Governor. f j Ilou. Joseph J.JIavls. ,- The gentleman whose name heads this aiticle has more than once been spoien of as a probable candidate for Govenwr, While, he would fill any position with in the gift of the people alike with cred it to himself and his constituents, yet, we are decidedly of the opinion that the 4th. District could not do better than to return him to Congress. He made1 a very. fine impressfon upon our "people during the campaign of 1874, and we feel satisfied that if he is nomfffirted, and we have no doubt he will be, he .will be re-elected by at largely increased vote. Ha is a man: that will wear, the more you see of lrimr the' better you like him. Such men will do to trust, and tike people love to honor such men. We . have heard of no aspirants for the nom ination and presume that J. JDavis will be nominated by aslamaticn. . (ouuecticut : The electioii in this State passed off quietly on the 3rd.inst. and the Demo crats gaind a" decided victory ovorRadi calisnii. , The whole vote . polled was 98. 485 against 10083 last year. Of this vote Iqgersol!, Democrat, rec eived 1 071; ; Robison, Republican, 43,557; Smith,' Temperance, 1,871 ; and Atwa ter, Greenback, 1,9SG. The Legish ture stands as follows ; m the Sa>e 18 Democrats to 4 Republicans, House, 139 Democrats, 85 Republicans and 2 Independents. ! ' . f The Democrats elected a Governor and all the state officers and made it gain in the Legislature on. last year o?23. The Democrats only lack two votes cf a two thirds majority on joint ballot; j ( The admission of ex-Attorney-General TViHiams that money was freely used hrough the ecret service force without any vouchers being given or required, ne cessitates the addition of another count to the indictnienE against Grant's admin istration. I The testimony of Mr. Falls, given before the Committee on. Expend i- tuies in the Department of Justice, show ed that the amount of this unacconnted for money used by Whiteley under Wil liams' orders was $1 25,000, and : if the matter is progd to the bottom it will probably be found ihat so much of the money as did not stick by the way in the hands of disbursars was spent in car rying Southern elections. Massachusetts threatens to send Dana to the United States Senate because that body refused to endorse his ap pointment as Minister to England. He would make a good substitute lor Bout well Gee Davis, of Wilmingtoi, who ha3 been prominently spoken of in con nection with Gubernatorial honors, de clines to allow his name to be used.

Mr. EdiTok : Having some le'sure time, T thought I would give your many Teaders of the Plant some itema of my ' trip to Western N. C. Leaving Durham on the one o'clock train got to the Shops in time for dinner. The Shops look very dry and lonesome. I think the R. & D. R.

I notice that the W. U. T. Co., are getting fixed to run a line of telegraph froni Winston to Greensboro, the poles are all ready to be put up arid they will have the wire up soon. , Winrton, is quite a place, the houses, are substantial laok Iug andjopstof .them are brick. They have three large tobacco warehouses and are doing a tolerable good business. Their tobacco cannot compare with Granville, Person, or Orange. Most of it is green aud nondescript, but tbey .say there is gome good tobacco in the country, the weather being so dry that they cannot handle it. There are eight tobacco fac tories here, none of tbem are I believe .1 " ! working just now, but intend to com mence about the 1st of May. Winston, thas a Bank s has Silem. I think Dur ham f needs one badly. Will not 6ome body start one? Salem, has a woolen factory, a foundry and many other facto ries. Salem has also a fine Wine Vault Mr. Mickey has wines of all sorts and ages, so I am told. One of Durham's old citizens arrived with his family Thursday night to . settle here, may he prosper.
