TIE AGRICULTURE OF THE UNITED STATES
The territory of the United States extends
over an area Of more than 100000 square
miles. It's extreme length is nearly 27OO
miles, and its greatest breadth 1900 miles
Its general shape may be considered Il paral-
telegram 2400 miles by 1900
The value of our harvest in the year 1880
exceeded 81 900, 100000 At that time there
were / IA, 600 900 acres under cultivation, and
1876, 100000 more were included within the
limits Of farms, in all 293 100000, This falls
short by only some 30,O00,oOo acres of the
total amount Of improved lands within the lin
its of the four geat European realms--Dritain,
France, Austria, and Prussia.

y. o. ELECTION BnI4-Wc hear much said
about this measure by those who seem not to
understand its provisions thoroughly we had
intended making plain statement Of the facts
this week, but find the article crowded out.
For the noncc we will merely premise that it
was conceived in wisdom and brought forth IL
Righteousness. The bcleaguered city Of New
Orleans having suffered and forborc till for
bcarancc ceased to be II virtue, as an Intimate
resort called ut last upon the Legislature TO
come TO its rclcf-to which "a | that body riplt
nDbly responded /; and if the good quiet and
nnolicnding citizens Of New Orleans are not
allowed now 10 exercise ut the polls tlcrpriy
ilrgrs as free citizens, twill not be the fault Of
the law
That something was needed to put down and
quash the la%lcssncss and intimidation on
election days, every one admitted, Democrat
ard Know Nothing. The Democrats presented
the present plan as the best to be devised and
called upon the opposing party to furnish u
better, and twoull be adopted. None having
been offered, tins was framed and adopted by
tie Democrats who are responsible therefor,
and are indeed proud Of their responsibility

BEWARE or OFFIcE.--Some one who has
evidently seen not n little of the ways of the
world, gives the following wholesome advice
i'll relation to accepting public office We
commend its considcratc pcrusal to that large
class OF hungry eXpcctants in every communi-
~ that seem TO do an immense business on
very small intellectual capacity:
When wild animal once tastes human flesh,
nothing can ever after, says Button, dSsnndc
him from human slaughter. When II politician
once obtains public Office, no persuasion can
ever induce him to 30 10 work---at anything
but II nomination for another and another,
during the term of his nntnra! existence If
you want TO spoil II good citizen for 10 years,
secure him Il berth in the Cisomhousc. He
will never be socially Il well man afterwards.
Send him to Congress, and you ruin him for
life. lie may carry around pacards and tick
cts ut the polls, accept subordinate situation
in the police, or run rrrandS for the doorkerpcr
Of political Westinghouse, but he will never
have independence enough to cm0ntipatc him.

Chief Justice fancy delivered the opinion
Of the Supreme Court on Friday March 9th
in the bred Scott case. The points decided
are that Scott is not citizen that he was
not msnumitted by being taken by his master,
when slave, into the then Territory of Him
OILS, and that the Missouri Compromise was
an act unconsttutionally passed by Congress
Justice Nelson of New York dissentod
The decision embraces the following
points:-
First-That negroes, whether slaves or free,
that is, men of the African Race, are not citi-
zens of the United States by the Constitution.
Second-Ths Ordinance of 1887 had no
independent Constitutional force or Legal eff
feet subsequently to the adoption of the Con-
stitution and could not operate of itself to
confer freedom or citizenship within the
Northwest Territory on negroes, not citizens
by the Constitution.
Third-The provisions of the Act of 1920
commonly called the Missouri Compromise,
in SO far as it undertook to exclude negro
slavery from, and communicate freedom and
citizenship to, negroes within the northern
part of Louisiana eessions was q Legislative
Act exceeding the power of Congress; and
void and of no legal effect to that end.
In deciding these main points, the Supreme
Court determined the following incidental
points =
FIrst-Ihe expresso Territory and other
property Of the Union, in the Constitution,
applies in terms only to such Territory as the
Union possessed at the time Of the adoption
OF the Constitution.
Second-The rights Of citizens Of the Uni
ted States, emigrating into any Federal Terri
tory, and the power of the Federal Govern
ment therein, depend upon the general pro-
visions OF the Constitution, which defines in
this as in all other respects the power Of Con-
gress.
Third-As Congress does not possess power
itself to make eBactments relative to the per-
sons or property Of citizens of the United
States in Federal Territory, other than such
as the Cons tuition confers, so il cannot Con-
stitutonally delegate any such power to a Ter
ritoTial Government, organized by it under
the Constitution.
Fourth-The legal condition of slave in
the State of Missouri is not affected by the
temporary sojourn of such slave III any other
State, but on his return his condition still de-
ponds on the laws of Missouri. As the plain
tiff was not citizen Of Missouri, he there
fore could not sue in the Courts of the United
/ States The suit must be dismissed for want
of jurisdiction.
The delivery of this opinion occupied about
three hours and was listened to with profound
. attention by crowded court room. Among
the auditors were gentlemen of eminent legal
ability, and due proportion of ladies.
Judge fancy stated the merits of the case.
The question was whether or not the re-
moval of Scott from Missouri with his master
to Illinois, with view of temporary resi-
dence, there worked his emancipation He
maintained that the question depended who'll
ly on the law of Missouri, and for that reason
the judgment of the Court below should be
affirmed.
Several other Judges were to deliver their
sppinions on Saturday.
