Morton looked at him with stony resignation, apparently convinced that the New York Statesman had found him out. Sun-Stroke Blaine let off a low feeble roiuarks Against the bill, and crawled out of tho fight as cowardly as he hid behind a doctor’s certificate in his encounter with tho House iast aos sion. The enemies of the measure made * complete surrender »8 tho friends of the bill had shown no quarter and would havo no conditions or terms or amend-mends in tho final capitulation,Tho exposure of the telegram sent by Chandler to Gov. Stearns that Florida, must be carried for Hayes by fair means or otherwise and that ho was tiuthorizod by both the President and Secretary of War to say that troops and moneywould be furnishcd him for that purpose, looks tfrmi-ogingiy bad fer tho Administration, pmlicnlarly eo since tho troops arrived promptly on time with Chandler a little, in advance of tho troops. Tho suction pump cross-examination bus been too much tor old Zach and will pull a great deal of unwilling truth out of him should he attempt to contradict tho above telegram.Belknap has demanded of our local courts a speedy trial on tho indictment ponding against him, Ho evidently has lost confidence in tho inauguration of Hayes and don't wish to rest his hopes of pardon in S, Tildon. His only escape from tho penitentiary is through a pardon from Grant before hiBtonn expires.Tho saddest wreck after tho passage of tho compromise bill, is Mr, Ferry. He immediately passed into utter insignificance Nobody caroe for his views asto tho validity of tho returns, nor whether ho wants to go behind them or btforo thorn, or on either side of I hem, or to waltz around thorn. Hie claims that he is a returning board of one have nit been overruled. lie will net bo allowed to Ferry Returning Board Hayes across tho Stygian gloom of a fraudulent count-in. Tho American people, through their Senators and Representatives, resume their regal rights, and Ferry becomes a mero clothes screen, a puff-ball, an unsubstantial entity. The two nurses Edmonds and Thurman take no notice of him, Doctor Bayard 'regards him with indifleronco. Even the maid-of-all-work Morton treats him with undisguised contempt, Ho will wander along tho shady paths of Sonatorial life obscure and finally join tho other conspirators in a climato In which thoy'll regret tho loss of I heir summer clothes, and where io© forms not in tho gutters thereof.Pinchbnck (colored) of Louisiana gives the Republican party a fine character when ho says, that for corruption and venality, for dishonesty it has no equal anywhere on tho face of Goii’a earth.

Jan.AWi.lOTt.ty ST. L. Cotton.] *It is an axiom io all organized socio-lies that responsibility aitaohcs to individual# or ciaaaoft, according to tho importance of tho position they occupy, and that any nogloot or failure to accept ard fulfill tho conditions of such posi-iun, necossfuily brings disaster to all concerned. It also holds equally true Unit the better any clasBof society comprehends tho duties and possibilities of their position the more efficiently they wilt bo able to perform them. Therefor© it scorns eminently fit thnt wo as tanaors should occasionally ex-lunmo our surroundings, nod consider our positions and rospouflibiiities as a class.Agriculture, in its various branches, employes one half of the human race, and finds employment for fuily one-haif tho remaiudor in manufacturing the raw products into food u)id fabrics necessary to tho happiness and comfortof all, and tho commerce to plnco thoro within roach of the consumers. It is the foundation of oil permanent prosperity. Wo might a« well undertake to erect a palace o» tho quicksand as to create a stoto of great prosperity on an impoverished soil,Tho position of the farmer ia second to non© on tho earth in tho vastnoss of tho consequences of its iuccoss or failure. Every element of wealth and progress depends upon it, as th© tower upon its foundation, But it is not necessary to take nity pride in the position you oc-cupy, or waste any breath in congralu-lntiug yourselves upon it unless you fllli tho bill. Bottor lot tho second-class politician do that whoso brains arc fully as soft as tho soap they periodically spread on tho hard-fisted fsrmor, Ne position honors a mart or class, tho honor or disgrace cornea according as thoj fill their stations.The question for ua ia, do wo bring honor to ourselves by fill.ng our place woll, and in order to have a full understanding, let us examine tho situatioi and the conscqucncoa ©f success or failure to attain the best results of our calling.The dillorenco bolweon the power o production of our soli without deterioration and tho ordinary wonts or noces sitios of life constitutes a surplus whicl comprehends all ihe material clomontt of wealth of individuals or nations. The amount of this smplue delsnnmos the pcssiblo ponnnnont power and greatness of any people, and tho manner of its expenditure their actual progress. A large 8urpiu» well expended means improvement in all possible attainments of burn tin lifo. The want of it, tho want of any power to better our condition, a condition of slavish drudgery for tho baro necessities of life. Is cur present system tending toward tho former or latter, ia tho quostiou. Ancording to crop statistics, tho soil of Ohio and most of tho older States are producing loss and less per aero of tho Btaplc crops, showing a decreasing fertility of soil which must at ao very distant day place a check upon their present progress in wealth and population. Tho truth or this determined, tho fact stands out prominently, that tho farmers of Ohio d# not rightly comprehend tho responsibilities of thoir position for it Is tho truth boyond a puradvenluro, that ilier© Is no need for this state of things, and ©very principle of patriotism, ©very thought of those who come after us, evory aspiration of honor requires that it should cense. Because the condition in which we leavo tho Boil will greatly datormino the future character and progress of our State, and any loss of fertility through our carelessness or iudoience is foolishly and wick odly subtracting from the progress and happiness of those who eomo after ua And further becauso any system o! agriculture which impoverishes the soil drives from it that taloat and ability which is indisponsiblo iu order to retrieve and improva it,Thor© has boon going the rounds of the press for years the question, bow shall wo keep our sons on tho farm. Hundreds havo tried to anawei if, The masons why wo havo not, havo run through ©very scale, natural, flats, sharps, majors and minors, from dominoes to fast horses, flower gardens to pot sheep, jews harps to pipe organs and so on. Tho true answer is, that ay atom of agriculture which requires tho maximum of I a hot for tho mini mum of returns which is imposed by our prevalent spread*eagle manner of farming nccessanly dlives ihn most energetic and ambitious of the farmers sons from tho soil.
