MORE FACTS! !!
HOW THE PEOPLE WERE PLUM,
DERED, AND WHO WERE THE
PLUNDERERS.
Sept. 90

When a party asks to be entrusted
with political power, it should show clean
hands. Since the formation Of our State
Government, there never has been so
corrupt and imbecile an administration
as the one which Immediately preceded
the existing administration. Medill,
Morgan, Trevitt and Breslin had been
in Office four years, during which time
they had debauched the public morals
and bankrupted the State. There was
rottenness in every department, from the
Gubernatorial Office to the Penitentiary.
Medill paid for the private services of J..
H. Price as sick nurse and wandering
electioneer, out of the public monies.-
Morgan was defaulter to the amount
of eight thousand dollars in Columbiana
county. when he was elected auditor of
State. While in that office, lie had ia
vored officials whom he permitted to
draw money from the Treasury which
they never returned, under the plea of
extra services.
In the Report of the Investigating
committee, VIM. Trevitt, Secretary of
State, is said to have received one hun
dred and ninety eight dollars in over
charges. Breslin lost about two hun
dred thousand dollars by intrusiing it in
the hands of Democratic" banks and
note shavers, besides which he was
defaulter to the amount of over half a
million of dollars.
In the Ohio Penitentiary alone, an In
slilution which ought 10 have been hon
estly administered, we find that the sum
of useless expenditures, frauds, and
oyercharges, was as follows:
Defalcation s5,188 50

LAKE SUPERIOR.

The estimated area of this King of
Lakes is $4,000 square miles. 1t is over
IL hundred miles in circuit, and other
wise of vast dimensions, being altogether
large pond of fresh water. The mineral
treasures of Iron and Copper in the bluffs
around this lake, make its navigation
invaluable, and the settlementofits IFS shores
inevitable. Its pictured rocks" grand
Islands. and other beautiful spots, have
been too graphically described to need
further notice here. The air during the
hot July days is very invigorating. So
large body of water lying inland be-
tween 3635e and 46a N. lat. could hardly
furnish other than cool bracing air.
Then surround this body with almost in
terminable forests, and we need not won-
der that steamers should lay ice-bound
three weeks, trying to force a passage
through this northern fresh water ocean
in the month of May. The shores are
rocky, numerous islands skirt the coasts,
and the finest bays indent the shores

AGRICULTURAL.


TRANspLASTISo CABBAoEs.--lhc early Yorks
are now we'll started and will be out of the
way In few weeks. Later varieties may be
set out between the rows, and get well estab-
lished before the first crop is removed. Cab
bages are not only profitable crop for human
food, but for cattle. The weight Of Bergen
cabbage that can be grown upon single acre
OF good land is enormous. Neat stock, pigs
and fowls relish 1t, and thrive upon 1t. The
plants Of the late varieties require more room
and should be set only in every other space,
where the early Yorks stand In drills eighteen
inches apart. If set In plot of ground by
themselves, put the rows three feet apart, and
the plants two feet in the row.
1t is a good plan to give the seed-bed a
thorough drenching before the plants are re-
moved then take up ball of earth with each
plant. II rainy day does not come at the
right time for planting out, It may be attended
to just, at evening, If the plants are well
watered after setting, nearly every ono will
live,

MANY A SLIP BETWEEN THE cuP AND tn. LIP !"
This saying was supposed to take its origin
from one of Penelope's wooers being shot as
he was going to drink. But it arose, as if ms
worth has it, thus -" A king of Thrace had
planted vineyard, when one of his slaves
whom he had much oppressed in that very WORK
prophesied that he (the king should never
tatse the wine produced by it. The king d s.
recorded his prophecy and when, at an enter
he sent for his slave, and asked him, insulting.
Y, what he thought Of his prophecy now A.
me slave only answered, sThere's many a
sip between the cup and the lip Scarcely
had he spoken, when news was brought that a
huge boar was laying his vineyard waste. The
King arose in fury, attacked the boar, and
was killed, without ever tasting the wine."

ARRIVAL or GOVERNOR WALKER IN KANSAS.
"A correspondent Of the Cincinnati CONNER
cial, writing from Quindsro on the Oath ult.,
notices tho above event as having occurred on
the previous evening. The writer says,
" The stiffness of the Sabbath evening was
broken by the firing of cannon on the river.
The cause suggested itself Immediately, and
BY the time the boat arrived at the landing
large crowd had collected. A band Of music
was on the steamer, and every one of them
piped as loud as possible to drown the din of
the machinery and hustle Of the crowd.
"Goy. Robinson was conducted to the up
per deck, and there introduced to Gov. Walk
or. A few other citizens of Quindaro were
also introduced. The crowd on shore gave
three cheers and called for some remarks from
the new official. He excused himself from
speaking, merely remarking that he was glad
that peace prevailed in our borders, that he
would soon lay before the people of Kansas
an address exhibiting his policy, and that he
hoped that Kansas would soon become State
with such institutions as the majority Of her
resident citizens should choose to adopt. He
then retired to the cabin.
Mr.. Walker informed noe that he has pre-.
pared lengthy address, much longer thar
Stanton's was that he has discussed at length
all the affairs of Kansas, including tho slavery
question, and that he has spoken frankly upoI
every SUBJECT, so that there shall be no GROUND
for charging him with non-committalism
whatever may be thought in regard to his opin
ions. He expects to go to Lecompton imme
diately. He said that Stanton was anxious t.
see him.
" There can be little doubt Of Stanton's dc
sire to be delivered from the Governorship a
soon as possible, for the position he assumed
has rendered the duties OF that office to hin
not a little difficult. The free State men ar
DESTROYS to have peace, but they vince undo
everything like arrogant dictation.
i" Senator Wilson came up on the same boS
with Mr.. Walker. He landed at Quindaro, an
will go back into the territory. No commun
ty could be more highly gratifed than our eli
liens seem TO be by Mr.. Wilson'S arrival. Evel
citizen here is free State man and admir-
the Senator-regards him as defender oftl
rights of the liberty-loving citizens Of Ka

An exchange says that Mr.. George Peabody
has indicated the lot at the corner Of Mount
Vernon Place and Charles-strect, Baltimore,
as the site upon which he would prefer to have
tho Peabody Institute" erected, and it has
accordingly been fixed upon by tho board Of
trustees. The cost Of this property will be
fifty one Thousand dollars. In addition, the
committee will purchase the two adjoining lots
on Mount Vernon Place, now possessed by
Mr.. Pennington and Hon. Henry May. These
TWO lots viii give an additional front OF sixty
feet, making the entire front on Mount Vernon
Place one hundred and forty-fve feet. This
property is on the highest point in that part of
the city, and Immediately ia front of the Wash
ington monument. Tho whole cost of the
SITE, including the Pennington and May lots,
i is said, will be about one hundred and one
thousand dollars. Mr.. Peabody it is stated,
has expressed his intention to give the additi-
onal cost, in view of the compliment paid to
his wish.

A LRssoS TO FRENCH MoTuERs.---A person
10 rather high position has just obtained from
tho civil tribunal of the Sci separation
from his wife, with the right Of keeping his
child, in consequence Of the following circun-
stances: The child had the m1aS %, and its
medical attendant declared its life to be in
danger, but the mother, nevertheless, contin-
ued to prepare her toilet for an evening party
to which she had been invited. "You can moi
leave the child who is dying" exclaimed the
husband. The wife replied that it was impos-
sible to remain away from the party without
breaking her promise, and being guilty Of a
want OF polteness. Tbehusband again remon-
strated with her, but in vain. She insisted on
going to the party, if only for an hour. The
husband then informed her that if she carried
her intention into execution the door would
be closed against her on her return. The wife
left for the party, hut on her return home was
refused admittance. The tribunal has decided
that the husband was perfectly justified, and
has furthermore ruled, that wife WHO Tor.

NEVER FoRo1vR.-In the course of a yoy-
age to America, sMr. Wesley heard General
oglethrope, with whom he sailed, making a
great noise In the cabin, upon which he step
ped In to know the cause. The general imme-

Mr.. Wesley, you must excuse me. l have
met with provocation too great for man to
bear. You know, the only wine drink is Cy-
prus wine, as it agrees with me best of any. /
therefore provided myself with several dozens
of it and this villain CHS servant, who WIS

tThen, sir" said Mr.. Wesley, looking
calmly at him, &c hope you never sim"
The general, COMPOUNDED at the reproof,
threw his keys to the servant, and babe him do
better in future.
Here, then, is the point If we would new
or forgive, we must never sin. The very prone
ness to sin which we find in ourselves should
be most powerful incentive to the cultivation
of spirit of forgiveness.

RAISING HoRsEs.-0ur correspondent H., OF
last month, gave our readers an excellent arti-
Gle on tho horse. He lays down one prin-
ciple of which we would give single illustra-
ton which years ago came under our obserya-
ton. He states the principle thus, "In order
to perfect development in the foal the mare
should be relatively larger than the horse."-
The reason he gives for this doctrine is thus
stated, "The mare being large and roomy there
is ample space for developing in the fetu4 the
full powers ofthe horse in an eminent degree,
giving it remarkable strength, activity and con-
stitution."
OF the truth of the above statement we have
nothing to say here further than to state case
My father once had large fine mare of good
make, speed, disposition, spirit and powers Of
endurance, used for many years as the family
horse. She was noble animal, seldom sur
passed In all her excellencies, though of the
commoa blood. Anxious to preserve her quail
tiles, after she was somewhat in years, he raised
two colts from her. The first was from large,
\ heavily and loosely made horse, relatively lar
seser and coarser than the mare. The colt was
a mare, coarse, lazy, fabby, without apparently
! one quality Of its dam. II was sold at four or
| five years old for forty dollars.
b, The second was from very active and mus
cular horse, q great trotter, very spirited and
| ambitious, relatively smaller and finer made
than the mare. The colt was a mare, small
very clearly made. 1t was about ono year
younger than the first colt. The two were
raised together and had no particular CARE
AT five years old the younger and much smaller
one, sold for seven hundred dollars. No coun-
try often produces finer or tleeter animal
The case Of these two colts sustains the state
ment Of our correspondent, but whether It is
@tpm tho principle he lays down We pretend not
to say.
1t is well, we judge, to give II an extensive
trial. There are laws ior breeding horses, as
fixed as those which hold the planets in their
course. five can discover and obey them we
can raise just such horses as we choose.-paI-
ley Farmer.
