The FREE BANKING LAw.-INcoNsIDERATE LE-
GIsLArIoN.--A recent decision of the Supreme
Court has thrown great deal of confusion into the
business connected with the free banking law of
this State This decision declares that all those in
stitutions are, in fact illegal, in consequence of
want of the constitutional majority in the passage of
the bill. The general banking law passed by the
usual majority but every chartered companyrequires
two-thirds majority by the constitution Of the State
and in the general law, the Supreme Court decides
1t is necessary to observe this provision.
There is no doubt that great deal of nconside-
rate haste is exhibited in State legislation and
this is, we believe, glazing instance. According
to all strict legal thinking the decision of the Su-
preme Court is correct, and these free banks are,
therefore, illegal Nothing can correct the evil
but the passage of another law, legalizng the pre-
vlous legislation. The whole business shows the
gross ignorance of the Lawmakers at Albany, and
should be borne in mind by the State Convention
for the revision of the Constitution, so that an ade-
qaate check may be interposed to such incon-
siderate legislation in future.

REeArA.-A great deal Of sport was had yester-
day, among our citizens who went down to witness
the boat race. We should think that there were at
least five thousand persons present, and the ANNA
ted contest was loudly cheered by the spectators
the successful boat came in. The race was won in
gallant style by the Santa Claus. A splendid suit
OF colors was presented to her. The Rip van.Win-
kle, William Crolius, Sir Henry, and Eclipse, came
in close upon her heels Being all built by Crolus,
the probability is, to superior skill in running, the
Santa Claus is indebted for her victory. This is but
precursor to another of interest to come off soon.

WAR ON THE BAR RooMs.-Ph Philosopher Greeley,

ny savage in favor of war on all the bar rooms
He announced, few days ago, that the bar room in
the Astor House was broken up, and pronounced a
great eulogy thereon. 1t happened however, that the
bar room of that magnificent establishment was on
ly removed to the basement-coo quiet and retir-
ed-and fitted up in style Of princely elegance and
spIendcr. On learning this awful intelligence, the
philosopher comes out with general denunciation
of all bar rooms. When will moral refomers learn
common sense, moderation, and decency?

SELF RELIANCE.

The all wise Creator in his disposition of human
affairs has surrounded man with difficulties. He
has placed the objects of worldly love upon an
eminence, whose rugged and precipitous sides
daunt even the bold and terriies the faint hearted
And he that wins the prize must fight for it. The
student he trims the midnight lamp, recalls the
sages of The past and still tolls on; the merchant
sees wealth in the distance and struggles to obtain
it; and the statesman fights many battle and
knees at the shrine of mad ambition.
The Creator has given man the inherent energy
to conquer. Self reliance is one of the nobest at
tributes of man. 1t is an indispensable quality
Whether he is to carve out path of glory amid
the clash of arms and the din of war, or take no.
BILE stand in the cause of humanity, he must rely
upon himself. And it is this reliance which ele-
Yates man in the scale of being. Without it, CO.
lumbus would still have been poor Genoese sal
lor. Franklin a printer, and Faust but humble
artist. Look at the great men of our country, and
we shall find that many of them are men of humble
origin. They have fought their way through diff.
cultes and stand forth as the architects of theii
own fortunes.
There is dignity in self reliance which always
commands our attention We despise the indivld
ual who creeps along at the feet of his fellows
we feel that he degrades himself, that he insult;
his God; for God made man in his own image
But that man ELECTS our admiration, who in TIT
midst of dangers and difficulties boldly meets an,
even courts them. Winter and the Alpine snow
rose up before the mad career of Napoleon,
"opposuit Alpem que niven quc,"
but they could not damp the determined purpose o
his soul. Poverty and an ignomnious death stare
Washington in the face, but they could not checl
| his ardor in the cause of freedom. There is II
obstacle too great, no barrier too strong for tn
man of self reliance to surmount. Defeat neve
leads him to despair, disgrace Is but stronger in
centive to exerton. Such character is truly
dignifed one; and worthy our admiration and re
spect.
Let the young men of this republic, with nobl
ardor and high aims, carve out path honorable
themselves and their coontry. Relying upon the
own cxertions they may aspire to great things an
accomplish great things. In few years they al
to WELD the destinies of the nation; and whetht
it be for good or evil will depend upon themselves

CULTIVATION OF CORN.

The Farmers Club held its regular semi-month-
ly meeting yesterday. The hour devoted 10 mis-
cellaneous matter was fully occupied.
The regular topic of discussion was then an
nounced- the cultivation Of corn-and DR.. Field
was called on. He stated that he had made close
observations during the four or five years of his
farming experience, and had become satisfied that
the old system of cultivating corn was decidedly
although he would not deny that far
mers were in the habit of producing very good
crops in old times. During his first year he had
followed the old SYSTEM and he did not obtain as
much corn from ten acres as he now got from two
The old way was to begin by plowing-then to
hoe-then pillow and then hoe again, and this
sometimes done three times instead of twice.
This he convinced, was most injurious prac-
tce. In the first place, blowing disturbed the
manure buried with the turf which had been turn
ed over, and permitted the volatile and nourishing
gasses the essence it were of the manure, to
escape and the process Of killing brought the
roots too much exposed to the sun, and permitted
too much moisture TO gather round their extremi
ties. In the next, blowing cut off great many o
the little roots, which were all important in The
process o. nutrition His plan was first to prepare
the ground iceH, manure it plentfully, plant the
corn in hills about three feet apart and six or eigh
seeds in each, not forgetting to manure the seet
in each hill very powerfully. When it had fairly
come up, he put in his cultvator-an excellent at

DR.. Underhill agreed that the cultivator wal
