The GARNER.

The most independent man in the
world, is so far asIneans of livelihood can
render one independent, is he who owns,
free from debt, soil sufficient to grow food
for himself and these dependent upon
him, and such surplus of product rs he
can exchange for the necessaries .'of life
which he cannot raise. The man depen-
dent upon trade, may find that it has sud
denly deserted him, wealth msy take to
itself wings and fly away, and the finest
minds may fail to accomplish livelihood
leaving one in want and dependence
but the faithful earth will never refuse its
bounty to the hanl that diligently tills it.
The farmer is the OILY true lord; he
can, with his labor procure food, drink,
and clothing, he has his comforts and
Injuries, whether trade, manufactures
and arts flourish CT not, he is insured
plenty by the unfailing laws fproyidence.
The seasons never fail of seed-time and
harvest, the soil eternally answers to the
labor and wants Of men, and it is the only
source to which he can look with ccr;ain-
ty for those blessings which render our
fellow men most independent. 49,.
Yet how very few are satisfied with
farmers lot. They look abroad upon
more snowy pursuits with an enyious eye.
The good they possess is disparaged by
q certainty and continuance that becomes
MOI onous and wear.some. They thirst
for a mere yentursome and speculative
field. The young man in choosing his
profession looks with contempt upon the
great brown hands and sunburnt face of
the farmer, and viii content himself with
some indoor employ m mt that blanch his
cheek, stagnate the lfe-tide in his veins,
and deaden his boyish spirits, instead of
going out in the oncn air beneath ..,,j,o elear
SKY to labor and be happy, Blessed is
the lot of the man WHO'S possesser of land
enough from which he can gather a live
lihood with q certainty attendant upon no
ether employment.

Wisconsin Legislature.

The legislature seems to be very busy
at present passing a variety of small bills
of minor Importance. The bill for con-
tinuing the geological survey of the State
called out quite lengthy and animated
discussion. The Democrats made the
compIa Mt that the present State Geolo-
gist had made speeches against the pro-
ceedings in Kansas, as though because a
man was making scientific researches
through the State he had no right to ex-
press his political views, or condemn pro
ceed1ngs that were national disgrace.
1t seems to us it would be extremely
foolish for the State to incur addi.io ex-
pense by appointing another State Geolo-
gist unless 1t could be shown that the
present one did not fulfil his duties, or
was lacking in the requisite qualifications.
The Legislature will doubtless adjourn
sine die the present week.

Our Governor.

In this day, when the rule seems to
have become pretty general that the high
er the position the more corruptieh, we
cannot but speesakk few words in praise
os Governor Randall.
Whatever Of abuse, ridicule and bitter
ness the opposition may have hurled at
Mr.. Randall, one thing is certain-his in
dependent, fearless course, since his Off
cial duties began, has efectually closed
Their morttns, and they are willing to al
4. Int with us, that Governor Randall comes
nearer to what is right than any Of his
predecessors. His message, admitted by
all to be the ablest document Of the kind
ever issued from the Capitol ofthis State,
told of policy, which, SO far as he has
been able to execute and control, has
been faithfully carried out. Most of all
do we admire him for the determined,
manly spirit of independence he has shown
in not letting "cliques" rule his actions or
control bis decisions. And we cannot
withhold our admiration of his success, as
we view his impartial, faithful and honest
course, calculated as it is, not only to do
great C, edit to himself, but prove of meal
culable benefit to our State. Much was
expected from Gov. Randall by his friends,
and most truly has he answered them.
Happy is Wisconsin in her present Gov
ernor.-Racine Adv.

FIRST OF MAY.-This old fashioned in
stitution with its attendant joys and sor-

Yes it has come again, and we are glad.
Who will not rejoice with us, that gentle
May has returned. When we see the
merry groups of children in their holiday
attire gathering to some grove, or beneath
the orerhanging banks of some brooklet,
to have their May Day festival, then, we
wish we were young again. We love
these scenes, and remember how we used

OF such occasions. Used to arise and 90

and the perfumes of gentle May were
floating upon the morning breeze. All
nature was tranquil and serene, and the
glistening beams Of the rising sun sparkled
upon the flowers and the tree tops. All
nature appeared to smile under the gen
ial influence, aud every side one turned,
some pleasing view was sure to meet the
gaze. We love to reflect upon by-gone
years, MANY AMI oyerpowcring are the

The st. Lofts Republican has just re-
ceived letters from independence, stating
that the Santa Fe mail with dates to the
1st of April, arrived on the 23d.
Between Fort Union and the Arkansas
River, the party encountered violent snow
storms, which were followed bv cold, so
severe as to freeze some CT the animals in
the coming train.

y : lilH'ln 'r.r,ulrgs, mail contractor on
~ oo!,tnern route, had been killed by
thomas Smith, in an affray, growing out
Of dispute over game of billiards.
An encounter occurred between Pres
ton Beck, of the firm Of Beck d Johnson,
and man named German, in which the
latter was killed, and the former danger
ousIy wounded. Notexpected to survive.
Beck was extensively connected with the
commercial interests of the Territory.
The Santa Fe papers say that Captain
Marcy had been overtaken by an express
from General Garland, directing him to
wait until an escort of four companies
could join him. Marcy was resting on
the Arkansas River, near Bent's Fort
The escort was sent in accordance with
instructions from headquarters, expressed
from Leavenworth, some weeks since.
The Republican has received an extra
from tn, office of the Fort Smith Arkan-
sas Times, which states that 10000 In
dams are congregated on the plains with
the determination of making a descent
on the frontiers.
Hostilities had already commenced in
some quarters, and the Albuquerque ex-
petition had returned in consequence.
The Times extra attributes this move
ment to Brigham Young, to draw off
troops from Utah to protect the frontier
States.
The Republican emphatically contra
diets the statement on authority of gen
tleman attached to the overland mail ex-
petition who reached here yesterday from
Ell Paso, and who travelled over the coun-
try said to be occupied by these Indians,
subsequent to the time they are repre-
sented to be on the route without any
m olestation whatever.

Democratic Morals at Wash.
fngtOH.

We have new glimpse Of morals at
Washington revealed in the discussion of
the Senate Police bill, which empowers
the President to select one hundred men
to assist the City Police in protecting the
lives and property of the Inhabitants, and
appropriates $4,000 for the purpose.
1t appears that the administration OF
Pierce, and the present administration al
so, became indebted to the Dead RABBITS
of New York, the Plug Uglies of Balti-
more, the Killers of Philadelphia, for con-
trolling the ballot-boxes in their cities, and
ensuring their election, and have paid
them in small appointments at Washing
ton, until the city is overrun with desper-
ate villains of every stamp. Added to
this is the example set by Judge Craw-
ford, who never Furnishes one of the
Democratic oligarchy with the severity
which the crime deserves. He discharg-
ed Herbert for numbering poor Heating,
and only imposed nominal fine upon
Brooks for beating Sumner; thus setting
an example for other rowdies to be pun
ished by, until the assaults upon persons
average one and half per day.
But what will be accomplished by the
new addition of Buchanan's servile tools |!
Senator Iverson, of Georgia, says of the
men likely to be employed:
''Not solitary respectable citizen will
ever engage in it. You will have to
draw the men from that very Class of So
ciety who commit the Expectations against
which youare about TO provide this guard
linen ws-o have associations with row.
oiess; men who have family connections
with them; men who are of the same
tastes and of the same grade, who sym
pathze with them, and, instead Of enforc-
ing law and order, will be more apt to
screen the depredators from punishment,
and perhaps commit violations of law
themselves" p Valparaiso Republican.

KANsAs.-The news of the defeat of
Lecompton was received in Kansas with
great jubilations. Cannons were lr)rg,t

THE MEssRs. HARPER.--When in Oe-
tober last, this great publishing house
bowed its head to the blast, Which Panic
and bad management in our fiscal affairs
rendered perfect Hurricane, one univer-
sal feeling of astonishment and regret
peryaded the country-for it is safer to
say that this, the largest publication house
in America, was more extensively known
than any other firm. Nobody doubted
their solvency; nay, nobody questie ned
the accuracy of their statements, showing
surplus of a million and half, indie
pendent of the wealth Of the individual
members Of the firm, separate and apart
from their business. But casli-gold OF
silyer-and not real estate, bonds and
mortgages and good paper, was what the
crisis demanded, and this they could not
command. They therefore suspended,
and the pubic wondered and lamented.
That same pablo will now rejoice to learn
as we do, that the day of suspension has
passed, and that the time-honored firm OF
Harper d Brothers, has again resumed
tuo oSul'ti pay lli0Ht VI UNC Wet/ ttCtOttNteS.
Wo have known for months, that they
were virtua1ly paying everything; and,
therefore, were not surprised at receiving
from them yesterday, the following briei
note:

Dear tSir-The Manhattan Company

haze directions to pay everything Of ours
as 1t natures. Yours, truly,
HARPER q BROTHERS.
New York, April %.
We cannot refrain from rendering to
this well-known and much respected firm,
our congratulations upon this event.
They have become as it were, one of the
institutions of the country, and every
where, their resumption of payments will
be hailed with unmingled satisfaction,
just in proportion to the feeling of sincere
regret which was everywhere evinced by
their s,lspension.-N Y. Courier.

recoIlections brought by glance at Gu
boyhood days; when long succession of
years is made to wear the aspect Of a
dream, and we awake again in the Ires-
ence of those we loved, and from whom
we can scarcely believe we have been so
long separated. The awakening from
such dreams is fearful, when we see where
We are and what we are doing-think
that we are men, and must discharge the
duties and bear the responsibilities of men.
IT'S then that we are sad-that we fully
appreciate the little friends of our young
ei days, and with sad regret feel that
they can soothe and charm us no more.
Some are roaming in distant lands, far
from the homes of their childhood
Some have set their standard high, have
overcome oil barriers that opposed them,
and are gallantly mounting high toward
the pinnacle of fame. Some have listen
ed to the song OF the siren and been lured
on to destruction, and some sleep peace
fully beneath the green sods of the church
yard Thus are our minds turned back
upon our childhood days, and mingled
sensations of pleasure and pain seize our
breast. Time was no burden upon us then,
- .
each day brought its allotted portion Of
recreation, "the hours glided smoothly
down the stream of time, and were lost
in eternity's ocean," but alas those pleas
urcs have faded, and the cold realities of
life have dawned upon us. The first of
May brings to light much of misery that
is painful to behold, it is then that the ten
ants in our cities are obliged to move, and
seek new dwellings,; and as we have seen
some disconsolate mothers face as she
draws her tattered clothing close about
her, and hugs her babe to her bosom fol-
lowing slowly after some drayman's cart
which contains all of her earthly possess
ions, we know that the first of May brings
sorrow to that heart And we in
wardly thank our Maker that we are bles-
sed.

The Administrator ms Mormon
Policy,


There are strong indications that the
Administration is undecided in its policy
toward the Mormons. The troops which
were sent on last Fall to bring them to
subsection, have received notice not to at
tack them until further orders.
The Peace Commissioners have been
appointed by the President, to proceed to
Utah, by the first train across the plains,
and endcavor to bring about PEACEFUL
solution of the ex sting troubles.
Now it is abundantly evident that the
Administration in its Mormon policy has
been at fault, Its course has been unde-
cided and wavering. But it is undeniable
that the Mormons are in a state of REBEL
ion.
If a sufficient force had been sent on,
the Mormons would no doubt have be-
como inundated, and shown but little
resistance. But they have become en-
boldened by the weak and vacillating
course of the government, and it will I'M
doubleday cause bloodshed to settle the
difficulty. We trust the Administration
will not back down from its position, and
bring disgrace upon the nation, but will
employ some efficient means to bring the
Mormons to speedy submission.
