A County FA1R.--The farmers Of Stearns
County are aeitating pretty seriously the
question Of having fair the coming fall.
Several have spoken to us on the subject,
and they seem fully alive to the benefit
that such display Of the stock and pro-
ducts Of the county would be to its agricul-
tural interests. The first thing for the
farmers to do is, to organize COMMITTEES in
the different townships. and through these
confer asto time, premiums, and other
necessary busin. IS matters. There is GER
tainly enough enterprise among the people
of St. Cloud to encourage any movement
Of this kind. tits desired by the farmers
to have the fair at this place. We shoull
be glad to hear further concerning this mat
ter, and to see the machinery put SUCCESS
fully in motion for the Stearns County First
Annual Fair.

The PRESIDENT ON MORO SSrERAoI ANn
GrngR MATTERS. John A. Logan had
a conversation with the President on the
3lst of May, which Is reported In tho Spring
field (lll.) correspondence OF the Chicago
Republican. Tho President is represented
as rather non-committal on tho negro suf-
fragc question, saying that !" tho sentiment
Of the country appeared TO tend toward a
restriction rather than an extension Of the
right Of suffrage generally" He said mo-
thing specifically as to the negroes. In 70
gard to The status Of the rebel States, the
President said: ODE 1dl u 'u'h'd i'f'
General, there's no such thing as recon.
struction. These States have not gone out
OF the Union. Therefore, reconstruction u
unnecessary. I do not mean to treat them
as inchoato States, but merely as existing IN.
der temporary suspension Of their Govern
ment. provided always they elect loyal men.
The doctrine Of coercion to preserve State
in the Union has been vindicated by the poo
nile. Il Is the province Of the Executive to
zee 30 that the will Of The people Is carried out
in the rebabil itstion Of these rcbellious States,
onoo more under the authority % well as the
protection of the Union" si,r.g.,,.sr. 80
On tho subject Of the national debt, the
President said TO Gen. Logan that he was in
favor Of paying u to the last dollar, and
would never countenanoe any man, party,
sect or measure that over squintcd ut rcpudi'
ution in any form.
