SrRINGFIELn, Jan. Z. 1915.

Mr.. Arnold to-day presented the petition Of 500
citizens Of Cook county, praying for the repeal Of
our laws IN relation IN negroes. Itexcited long
debate, in the course Of which abUltionism, the
night Of petition, aud many other equally irrcla-
ven, topics were discussed.
A resolution has been adopted in both houses
that the Governor have preparations made for fir
ing, on the public square, on the Sh, in CONNIE
m1ration Of the glorious battle of New Orleans,
salute for each state in the Union, one for each
territory, enc for Oregon, and one for Texas.
The Governor sen, in to-day communication
in answer TO the resolution requesting him 10 re.
nit portion Of his salary. lie declines, setting
forth his reasons, one of which is, that he is not
paid in par funds, and another, that it would be
setting precedent which would in some measure
impair the Independent, action of one branch Of
our state government.

1t is amusing to read Native American
papers. They talk about OUR country.
OUR ancestors, too, fought and bled, and
died, when a majority Of them came from
the other side OF the Atlantic. We should
suppose, from their cant, that God had
given them title in fee simple to all the
land and all the privileges of this half OF
the world, and tina. foreigners were no,
the children Of the same father-not emit.
tied to the unoccupied soil which the di.
vine parent has made, nor TO the light OF
his own sun, nor to the fertilIzing show.
ers Of his clouds, nor TO the glorious polit.
ical rights which an everything Providence
has given us. These chaps think, as they
have straddled about over our soil awhile,
and voted for Henry Clay, that therefore,
the whole land and water, and political
rights are theirs. Our ancestors Tough,
for no such contemplate end.-Louis-

Agricultural Lectures.

We understand that Mr.. SnARwoop, pracii-
cal and scientific agrcuurist, at present residing
amongst US, intends delivering series Of lectures
on the all important science Of agriculture. Mr.
SIS aim will be TO show that agriculture, as com
pared with other professions, in tho estimation Of
society, is unjusty apprcciatcd-tha, it tends d.
recly to elevate the intellectual and social char
aclcr Of people, and is favorable TO its moral and
religious Improvement.
Mr. S. intends ais, II discuss practically the
various operations of the farm, and examine how
far il may be considered safe for the farmer To az
nit science as his auxiliary. The b,m,lit of
knoNIcdgc Of Geology, Chemistry and jotauy, to
the farmer, will he demonstrated. The latter
science viii form the subject Of srpara'e lecture,
aud viii be illustrated by paintings.
Hcundcrsrand Mr. :. is member or the RoyAl
Agricultural Society of England, aud Of the
American Institute at New York, and comes
amongst us bringing with him letters from ggG-
cultural societies before which he has loctur,d,
and from many Of the leading agricultuisls in the
United States.
The Introductory lecture viii be delivered on

Mesys. EHiOrs-To-day both houses of the lie.
gislaturc were in session. The members were
nearly all present, and they appeared to go to
work in good earnest The senate and assembly
hold forenoon and afternoon sessions. ! believe
there have not been many bills passed yet, but
there seems TO be considerable business before the
legislature, as there necessarily must be in so
large a state. The committees are very busily
engaged in preparing the matters referred TO them
for the action Of the bouse. Holding two sea-
sions daily leaves them with but little time TO cx-
anime and mature tho business. The members
however, all appear to be working men, and de-
tcrmlncd TO do up the business for which they
came here IN the shortest time possible The best
kind of feeling evidently prevails among all the
members. Sectional feelings and local prcjudiccs
are not heard Of, and every ono seems to consi-
der that he 10 representative Of the interest Of
the whole state Indeed, the present legislature
is composed Of body Of men Of whom the state
may well feel proud, and the best results may rea-
sonaby be anticipated from their deliberations.
AS may well be expected, different views are en-
tertained as to the wny in which the state shall
proceed 10 complete the canal. 1t is understood
that there is a large majority decidedly in favor
OF It's completion at the earliest day possible, but
no action has yet been had in the matter. 1t has
been deferred 10 hear the result Of Col. Oakcy's
mission.

House Side.-A, Vicksburg, recently,
during heavy storm of rain and wind, a
two story frame house took slide down
the hill. There were at The time some
ten persons, black and white, consisting
of adults and children, in it-only one of
whom received any serious injury, and
that not MORALLY. The house made a
perfect smash, breaking and grinding the
timber all TO pieces. The person hurt,
was a woman, and she was injured by the
falling of the chimney.
