For the Journal.

Mr.. EDlToR I'm your daily of the Izh inst,
some one, signing himself Humanity" appears ex.
cited on account of the manner man was buried,
&C., on whom 1, Justice of the Peace, 1.-THE Cor.
oner being siek.) held inquest the 9th rn.t
lie says the body of the man spoken Of was
"dragged brutally across road to prominent part
OF hill, where man was paid small sum to dig
hole" &C. Now, Mr.. Editor, if these statements
were true. in the sense and way the writer would
have the public believe, there would be ground for
complaint and censure. But not one act of appa-
rent unkindness or disrespect was done which, was
not justified and made right in my opinion and the
opinion of Others, by surrounding circumstances
and the condition of the body, at which every sense
revolted. The dragging across the road was done
on account Of the limestone approaching within
foot Of the surface of the earth, preventing grave
from being made deep enough. The taking to a
prominent part of the hill, the payment Of large
or small sum of money to any one, for digging .
hole, &C., is not true Not act was done 10 that
brutal and cruel sense "Humanity" would have
the people believe; nor was his communication
written as mertcd rsbuke to an erring public Of
fcer in his opinion, for humanity sake, butt as IL
evident it is base and ntemptble effort TO excite
hatred and distrust towards me in the minds of the
foreign population of this community. It is the
emanaton of malicious and vindictive spirit, fos
selfish and uterior purposes. eperen Of was .
or knows yet MhPste MhPste:" wish to say to my fellow
11sott'zehs, if erred in any thing that was done by
or through me, it was error Of the heat and not
the heart. GBo. MEAs0N.

with general appreciation.

John W. Forney does not abate one
jot of his opposition to the policy of the
President. His Philadelphia Press declares
that those for whom it speaks will listen to
no compromise, and propose none with the
Administration. They cannot co operate
with it ssuntil the ban is removed and the
treachery to principle is disavowed." Un-
less this is done, it predicts the sure and
speedy downfall of the Democratic party, of
which it remarks ''The controlling, de-
Gliding power resides, where it always has
resided, in the Free States"

wItis due-on the principle of giving
the Devil his due-to Judge Lecompte to
publish the fact that that Border Rufian
Kansas Judge has decided that the Free State
county officers who were elected under the
Legislature of last fall are entitled to their
certificates, and not the Pro- Slavery officers
who were elected by virtue of the Kickapoo
frauds. This is the first instance in the ju
dicial history of that judge in which the Free
State men have apparently had any rights
the Court was bound to respect.

NEBRASKA BANKS We learn from the
Council Bluffs Nonpareil that the authorities
OF Nebraska are after the sCats," tame and
wild. The warfare seems to be rather indis-
criminate, the whole brood being placed
under ban. Gov. Richardson hns issued
instructions to the Dis.lics Attorneys of the
several Districts to proceed against the fol-
lowing institutions:
Fontenelle Bank of Bellevue, Bank of
Florence, Western Exchange Co., Saratoga
Banking Company, Omaha City Bank and
Land Company, Nebraska Bank and Land
Company, Pacific Bank and Land Co., Om-
aha and Chicago Bank, Nebraska Exchange
Bank and Land Co., the Brownsville Bank
and Land Co. The seven last mentioned
because they are not authorized by law, and
all of them because they have omitted to
redeem and pay their notes when presented
for payment. ... ..,...
The course of the Governor seems to meet
with general appreciation.

The LAST DoUGHFAoE.-The election of
Henry P. Anthony, Of Rhode Island, - sue
ceed the present Loeofoco Senator from that
State, gives the Republicans clean vote
from New England in the Senate of the Uni
ted State After the 4th of March next no
daughface will occupy a seat in the Senate
from New England, and we trust that no
such disgrace may ever befall the Yankee
States again.
Only few years ago, New Hampshire,
Maine and Connecticut were reliable Demo
cratic States, and Rhode Island was doubt
full; now they are all as firm for the Repub-
lican cause as Massachusetts and Vermont.
1t will only require few years more to
secure a similar change in all the middle
and Western States.

Corrections.

Correction.
Prof. Fellows, of Cornell College, writes
to US as follows:
Mr.. VERNON, June 9th, 1853.
Mr.. EDITOR In your issue of June 5th
notice an article taken from the Dubuque
Times, stating an "elopement' had occurred
among our students. Allow me to say that
such is not the case. Nothing of the kind
has ever taken place in our school.
By correcting the above false report, you
will confer favor on the institution.
Yours truly,
S. N. FELLOWS.
By-the-way, we will just state that the
annual commencement exercises at this
Aourishing inst tuition of learning will take
place on the 9th day of July, preceded by
three days devoted to the examination of
classes. The friends of education in this
part of the State should endeavor to be
present.

Wheat Inspection -. Imp portant to
Farmers.

Farmers. r...
Owing TO abuses of the lax manner in
which Chicago wheat buyers have inspected
their purchases, and the consequent deteri-
oration of wheat shipped from that port to
the New York market, the Chicago Board of
Trade has adopted new system of wheat
inspection. to take effect on and after this
date (June l5th:) The qualities into which
the wheat will be graded are as follows:
CHICAGO CLUE WHEAT. No. l SPRiNo
WHEAT, No. 2 SPRING WHEAT, REJECTED
WHEAT. :rEa is. 10 t@9
The s'Chicago Club Wheat'' grade is in
tended to comprise very superior quality
OF Spring Wheat which goes to that market,
OF the kind known as "Club," or equal to it
in every respect 1t must be entirely free of
dirt, oats, or other substances q
plump, round berry, and be perfectly sound
mo. Spring Wheat' will represent the
lower qualities of that which is at present
classed as extra" 1t must be perfectly
free of dirt, screenings, and ather substances,
and be sound and dry. This grade will in
all probability be the standard Wheat
s'No. 2 Spring Wheat' will represent our
common Spring Wheat, sound and dry, but
mixed with dust, or other substances. All
good wheat coming to market in dirty
condition will be inspected into this grade.
"Rejected Spring Wheat" will represent
all wheat in an unsound or damaged condi-
ton, whether it be dirty or clean. ...
The effect of this system will be beneficial
to all parties concerned. Heretofore, on
account of little or no distinction having
been made at Chicago between wheat we'll
cleaned or poorly cleaned, the farmer who
took pains to have his wheat in good condi
ton got no more for it in that market than
the one who neglected it. But now the far
mer who takes pains to raise good wheat
and to keep it clean will be rewarded by
receiving higher price than the farmer who
is careless and Indifferent The farmers of
Iowa should take notice of this new arrange
ment, and govern themselves accordingly.
A similar regulation has existed for some
time in st. Louis, but as the Chicago market
has for some years past regulated prices in
this region, it behooves them to take more
pains with their wheat.

The New Orleans Revolution.

| The Louisville Journal of the 9th contains
long editorial on the New Orleans affair,
in which the editor charges and demonstrates
that the movement is an organized effort of
the Locofoco Office holders and leaders to
regain the control of the city, under the pre-
tence Of an Independent ticket, and by vio-
lent and revolutionary movements through a
vigilance committee and a fillibustering mob
He quotes from one of the organs of the
Dem ocracy, the Delta of the 2Sth, the fol
lowing intimation of their design to get
control of the polls on Monday:
s'Who shall say that in order to purify the
city, crush rufianism at the polls, to make
the ballot box common receptacle Of the
vote of every qualified voter, to reform the
abuses that have crept into the city govern
ment, and thereby assist us to better reputa-
tion at home and abroad, and put new
spoke in the wheel of our prosperity-who
shall say, we repeat, that, If necessary, the
we'll meaning citizens of New Orleans should
not {, MPEL OBEDlENCE TO THELAw? AndWE
THINK rHEY WILL do it if required; at least
reformation and the event will inevitably
follow"
The Journal proceeds to say that the very
name of Democracy had become odious in
New Orleans, and that its ce-holders and
Office seekers, organized as independents and
called upon their chief, Mr.. Beauregard,
Buchanan's Superintendent of Customs in
New Orleans. to become their candidate for
Mayor. The article concludes as follows
"Ihe Democrats, under the name of
v GLANCE committee, have taken possession
of the public armories, and in organized
bands of armed rufians parade the streets
and seek to strike terror into the hearts of
peaceable and law abiding citizens. They
are seeking to effect by force what they have
tried in vain to do by the ballot-box. They
have seized the public armories, and inso-
lently demand that the city government shall
be placed in their hands. The infamy of
this outrage cannot be expressed. 1t is one
of the results Of the rule or ruin policy of
the Democratic party, and should make all
honorable men shrink with horror and aver
sion from its very name"
