New Fair Grounds and Fixturers.
In your issue subsequent to our last
Fair, you called our attention to this sub
ject, and | regret that nothing further has
been said on the subject in your paper.
y move so large and Of so general and
vital Importance to our future prosperity,
should not be sprung upon the few who
ordinarily attend our annual meeting with
out any reconsideration.
Perhaps the leading minds of our soci-
ETY. have their plans concocted, and ready
to lay before us at our annual meeting.
[ hope it is so-but in the absence of the
usual method of preparing the public
mind we have fair reason to conclude. that
too many arr depending on their neighbors
for IDEAS
Harmony is an element in this case
which we can hardly dispense with; in
terchangc of opinion when done in good
faith to accomplish desired end, usually
promotes it, and consequently tends to
perpetually.
L understand permanent grounds and
fixtures are contemplated. This perhaps
is as it should be. But to procure these
L hardly need say we only want means.
How to obtain money to buy these
grounds and ixturers is the great question.
Stock, has been mentioned by some as.
best am not prepared to say it is not.
the very best it is the ordinary mode
for corporate bodies, and answers the end
quite well.
But have one akin to this, not origi-
nal, which | will propose-Life Member
ship.
TO illustrate this plan, we will suppose
the society concludes to try it, and fix on
the sum of $1,000 as the fee of member
ship. All can calculate if $4,000 is
wanting, $500 membership are necessary.
This plan involves the mutual prosperity
of the society, 50 far as life membership
goes. 1t is not saleable out of the limits
of the society, they are members this year
next year and so on to the end of life.
Consequently we have permanent men,
bcrship for base, on which transient ones
can rest, base which would be difficult
to remove one that will prevent the effect
of petty dissentions. Permanent grounds
and 6xturers would be useless without a
permanent society. But how shall we OBJ
tain these members7 l cannot say 300
men will not subscribe and pay $1,000
each, tho not probable. If you like the
plan, show it to your neighbor, and if not
propose a better one. B,

Douglas.

Senator Douglas seems to be counted
out" on all sides, and is likely to find SYM
pathy with neither Republicans nor DEM
ocrats. The former, since the Illinois can
vass, have no confidence in him, the latter
seems to hate him more bitterly than ever.
AT the opening of the session they have
made as complete display of their cnmity
as possible in deposing him from the Chair
manship of the Committee on Territories.
The onslaught is commenced with will
that leaves no room to doubt that he is
to receive no mercy at the hands of his
old companions in arms. The contest
seems to be for the possession of the De-
mecratic party. 1t is to be feared. how
ever, that if the contest continues much
longer it will be prize of small value to
the winner.
The career of Mr.. Douglas since he in
vented Popular Sovereignty is quite in
teresting and shows that it is not always
certain into what new and strong places a
now and untried hobby may not carry one.
Popular Sovereignty has been hard
beast to ride and is growing harder con-
stontly but with Douglas there is no al
tentative but to conquer with this charger
or die. We do not see that the difficulties
in his path diminish, but rather thicken
with every step in advance.

INCREASE OF PosTAGE.-The Postmaster
Generals recommendation of an increase
Of letter postage to five cents the single
letter will not be pleasantly received in
tho free States, The Washington cores
pondent of the Springfield Republican ex-
presses the general sentiment very truly
and forcibly, as follows:
"The free States, or at least the older
settled ones, great deal more than pay
their postage bills no'0, and it is going
trihe too far TO ask them to pay almost
double postage on their letters that the
States which slavery impoverishes may
have every postal facility, and that giant
corporations may fatten on sea and 18TH
mus contracts, or that an overland con-
pany may carry twice a week few let
tcrs down through Texas and Mexico and
up again to California, at cost of $780,
600 per annum. The Congressman from
Il free State who votes to increase the
postage will, upon his return home, be
greeted with such howl of execration as
will make him think he is in Pandemoni-
um. If the Government is bound to carry
the mails into every new territory, and
over the slayery-cursed regions of the
South, let the cost of the work come out
of the national treasury and not out of
TIE pockets of those intelligent people who
see fit to write letters, in the old and cd
ucated States.

At one Of the gaming establishments in

sums at play, when one morning, on openin ing
his secretary, be found that sum Of 10000
horins had been, sbstracted from it, and what
made the matter worse, was that the thief
was an old servant, named Fritz; who from
bis long services, was treated as one of the
family. The man had disappeared. Some
time bad elapsed after the discovery, and tho
young baron bad begun to be somewhat
reconciled to the loss, when be one day met
the servant walking along composedly in
the street. "You rascal" exclaimed the
baron, going up to the offender; but know
ing smile from Fritz somewhat surprised
him. Questions and explanations followed.
ADD the result was the delivery to the baron
OF a receipt for the 10000 forms from bis
