lssOURE, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 10, 1870.

Sir, have been controlled in the remarks
which have deemed it my duty to submit in re.
latIon to the President palace, by the same mo.
tves and principles which governed the Jackson
party, oil which l was an ardent supporter, du-
ring the administration of J. Q, Adams. You
will doubtless recollect that the Jackson party at
that day, both in and out Of Congress, went in.
to the investigation Of the palace concerns most
thoroughly. On the Sd of March, 1925 the
following joint resolution was adopted by the
two Houses
Resolved, &C., That the Commissioner Of
the Public Buildings be, and he is hereby au
thorized and directed to take an inventory of the
furniture OF the Presidents house, at such time
as may be convenient to the President, and to
deliver a copy thereof to the President elect, and
one copy to each House Of Congress-"
In pursuance of this resolution, schedule of
all the furniture in the Presidents House, inclu.
ding the articles in the bed chambers and kitch.
ems, was reported to Congress on the 9th of De-
comber, 1925. Subsequently,, 18th February,
1920 the House Of Representatives, through
its committee, requested the then President to
communicate in what manner the last appropria.
ton for furniture for the Presidents house, had
been expended After the information had been
obtained, the committee made a report to the
House, viz: 18th March, 1926, to which they not
only annexed a memorandum OF all the table
linens, sheets, pillow cases, chamber towels, &c
in the palace, but also list of all the articles
purchased by Mr.. Adams from the 10Th of
March, 1925, till January, 1926. Embraced
in the list were the following items:
1925. May 20. Lagare Kervand, bill

elder Adams) In December, 1900, the Govern
ment was removed to its permanent seat at Wash
ngon, but before its removal, viz 9th April
1900, the sum Of S15, 900 had been granted to
provide furniture for the house erected in Wash.
ngton for the President, TO be expended by heads
of State, Treasury, war and navy" The furni.
ture was subsequently, increased by three several
appropriations OF $4,000 each, by acts passed
Sd March, 1905, I'd March 1909, and 26th July,
1913, respectively. There had therefore, been
expended on the furniture of the Presidents
House from the time Of its first occupancy in De-
cember, 1900, up to the period Of its destruction
by the British army, flty-seven thousand dollars.

We cannot farbear expressing our gra-
LITIGATION, that the subject Of education is
receiving attention through the medium of
the press in different parts Of the Territory
We hope the suggestions which arc being
made, will be thoroughly canvasscd, and
vigorous measures pursued for carving
into effect system Of common school ed
ucoton, that will DO honor TO our rising
territory. Every individual who is friend
10 education, has duty 10 perform. The
awakening Of public attention, and TIC Do
vlsing Of measures, is not the business Of
the few, but belongs in common TO all who
feel an interest III the best, and greater
good Of the territory. Our territorial le-
glslature, will be disposed to render our
system Of common schools every assistance
so far az legal cnactments are concerned:
but nevertheless, they will naturally look
to the people for public expression Of
opinion. The people have no RICH. 10
complain, If their Legislators do no, enc nc,
laws which their constituents do no, a SIX
for; nor has any Legislative body the right
10 assume the prerogatlve Of cnacting laws,
which 90 not conform to the expressed
will, or known wis hes Of the people.
Since then, our legislators are the in
struments of the people; it is for the poo
plo to propose measures 10 their represcn-
tatives. Every town or community there
fore, that feels solicItude for the int
Of common school education, should give
an expression OF lis wishes 10 the represcn-
taiives Of the people, through the medium
OF petitions. AS it respects the appoint
nent of territorial superintendent Of com
mon schools, or a general board Of educa-
ton, there may be some difference Of opin-
ION as 10 the merits Of each; but we ap-
prehend that all will admit that either will
answer the purpose; and that either will be
preferable, TO remaining in our present
condition without an efficient organization.
We shall however express our individual
opinion on future occasion, as we'll as
give our views, Of what VIC regard the most
essential studies 10 be pursued in common
schools.

AGRICULTURAL SOCIETIES.

Tho formation of societies for the advancement of
the interests of agriculture, have been found proluc
tive OF immense benefits, wherever they have been
tabished. The pursuit Of agriculture, is OF greater
importance to the well being and prosperity Of the hu
man family, than any other; while at the time
practical science; is probably less perfected than
most others. Agriculture was made practical science
in an early day. Virgil wrote upon the subject two
thousand years ago lie points out the different var
cites Of thu SOIL and the adaptedness ofeach the pro-
ductons ofhc earth He laid down rules for the plant
ing Of trees and explained the best methods for the
sing of cattle, sheep, and swine. At subsequent peri
eds and III derent ages, books heve been written up
the subject of agriculture, many Of which are now
extan Notwithstanding the great utility OF the science
great proportion of those who ill the EARTH affect to
dcspise book knouledge guide in their agricultural
avocalions This aversion to conform the labors oftl-
ling the SOIL and the rearing stock TO theory and sci
ence, has unqucsonaby retarded the interests of agr
culture throughout the country.
A farmer who conducts his farm with st.ct regard
to the approved principles of agricultural science
always more successful than his neighbor who re
CARDS book farming with contempt, and follows his ca
prices, pursues the beaten track of his freathers
regardless of modern improvements better ilustra
ton oftho benefits arising from practical and scientific
pursued by the late Judge Buel Of Abany All his az.
rcutura and Horticultural operations were conducted
with strictes regard to scientific investigation No man
demonstrated more successfully the utility of az
riculural science, and conferred greater
benefit on mankind, by the dissemination of irtelli
gence pertaining to the interests of the farming popu
ation lie has left TO the people of the United States
an invaluable treasure of knowledge of which every
farmer may possess himself at very small expense
There are probably many persons, who are farmers
by profession 10 whom il occurred ofhow much
importance is knowledge of the some of the higher
branches of science, in order their being masters
Of their business. Besides other branches of science
knowledge of chemistry is ESSENTIAL to the complete
education of afarmer lis application to the analiza-
ton of sosof asceriaining the nutritive qualities of
the productions of the earth-the safe keeping and
preservation Of vegetables and the manufacture Of
