The Agricultural CoIlege-A Brake
on the Wheel.

COLUMBUS, January 4.
The closing session of Che Agricultural
Convention to-day was devoted 10 the col
lcge question. Judge Lang, ofSeneca Coun-
ty, from the committee appointed yester-
day for that purpose, reported on the report
ofthc commission appointed blythe late Gov
crnor Brough,tO select location and submit
propositions to the Legislature far the es-
tablishment of an Agricultural College.
The report expressed also the views of
another member of the committee. John
Branch. of Clcrmont County. II referred
to the action of this body one year ago,
when. rlmost unanimously, II decided In
favor of but one, and that an independent
college, in connection with large expert
mental farm, and saw no good reason now
to depart from that action.
The committee abstained from making
any recommendation, but warned the Con-
vention from stepping out with theleft foot
foremost, and giving a wrong direction to
the march of progress. Attach the Con-
vressional grant to any college established
for another purpose, and 1t will fail In its
object. Let the enterprise be independent,
and clear of dead weights. Let it live on
its own merits, or amid in its worshipers.
These remarks were made with reference
10 the proposition of the Commission TO
adopt the Miami University at Oxford as
Parrish, of Erie, the other member OF the
Committee, expressed himself in view of
the facts presented by Mr.. Gardner yester-
day, one of the Commission, as favoring the
oxford proposition ,
Mr.. Green, of Hamilton, though he had
never favored the Miami University,
thought it the most available, and it would
be better to accept it than lose more time.
Judge Jones, Of Delaware, took different
view of the matter Oxford was at one
corner Of the State, and inoonvcnent of ac-
cess. the buildings dilapidated, and the Uni
yersty run down. The attempt TO galvan-
| lie decaying carcass would prove abOr-
tive. As TO the time having nearly expired
after which the grant would revert to Con
gress. Senator Sherman had assured him
| that the time wonld be extended. He
would rather await further developments.
Mr.. Anderson. of Oxford, defended Mi
ami University. 1t was not in such dilap-
| idated condition as had been represented
was paying its way and laying up funds,
Notwithstanding the war
Mr.. McClung, of Miami, not satisfied
with the indirectness of the committees
report, offered the following, which was
adopted almost unanimously:
ReSoloed, That the donation made by
| Congress to the State of Ohio, for the en-
dowmcnt of colleges for the benefit of ag-
riculture and the mechanic arts, ought to
| be appropriated to the establishment of one
college at some point convenient of access
! for the State at large, attached to which
should be an adequate farm for expert
ments, etc.
| Thus the Legislature will have two dis
tinct and conflicting recommendations be-
| fore it, and consequently viii be very
likely not to adopt either this winter,

Better Feeling in the South.

The editor of the Augusta tGeOrgia)
Chronicle and Sentinel says that he had a
conversation with an intelligent planter OF
South western Georgia. He reports bet
ter state of feeling among the negroes. Be
fore Christmas they would not work, but
latterly change has come over them. The
Sentiaet says:
almost every one of his hands came for
ward and expressed an earnest desire to
make contract for the coming year. Most
of the absentces who had made verbal
agreement with ucighbors, begged in tears
to he taken back to the ''Old plantation
This our friend agreed to, provided they
brought written releases from their verbal
engagements. and off they started, and re
turned with them very soon. A contract
was then drawn up and executed by the
whole force, in which they consented to
work faithfully till next Christmas, and
meanwhile to be furnished with food, cloth
ing and all nccessaries, but no wages until
that time. when the whole years wages
should be paid down 10 each one in lump.
A forfeiture of all previous earnings was
agreed to rs the penalty of desortion-our
friend explaining TO them that he thought
it enough for him to risk time, capital and
expenses on a crop which might be aban-
doned i'm midsummer and bring no return.
and that they. like himself should be will
ing to wait until the crop was gathered for
the profits of the joint operation. After
some discussion, this point was conceded
with a reasonable degree of checrtulness,
and all hands went to work with an appar-
cnt determination to make crop. Our
friend was considerably elated with the
prospects, and we sincerely hope his eXpec-
tations will be realized"

Did Secession Succeed?

Mr.. Raymond, of New York, took the
floor in the House of Representatives yes
tertiay. and made an able and conclusive
reply to Mr.. Thaddeus Stevens speech OF
Monday last. The point of Mr., Raymond's
argument was, that the rebel ordinances OF
secession were nothing more than so many
expressions ofa purpose TO go out of the
Union, aud to break up the Government,
which did not succeed, and that the States
lately i'm revolt are therefore still in the
Union. Around the position he gathered
an unanswerable argument. One of his
points alone will show the dangerous posi-
ton into which Mr.. Stevens is carried by
his extraordinary theory.
If secession was success, If the South
ern States were really out of the Union,
and became foreign power, as Mr. Stevens
claims, then their debts become valid, and
the United States succeeds to the privilege
of paving it. Is any considerable portion
of the American people willing TO pay for
the whistle of Mr., Stevens at such rate as
that? This excellent effort of Mr.. Ray
mond, viewed in connection with the course
of Mr.. Cowan, Mr.. Doolittle, Mr., Dixon,
and Mr.. Sherman In the Senate, shows that
sound patriotism and common sense arc
still to be found In Congress- Philadelphia
Ledger, Dec. y.
What biting sarcasm the Ledger has ut
tered upon Congress in these few remarks
without at all intending 1t.
What a fall there has been from the Uni
ted States Congress of fifteen years ago tC
the Congress of to-day, when IL Is neces-
sory TO deduce the evidence from the act,
of n few individuals "that sound patriotism
and common sense are" not yet quite eX-
tinguished in that body.-Loats0HIe Jour

The Cincinnati Enquirer of this morning
published the returns Of the election helu
in Coyington. KY, on saturday. The Dem
oorats achieved glorious victory. They
elected their candidate for City Physician
Inv about four hundred majority, and Jailer
by about hny majority. The contest for
Councilmcu and school Trustees is very
close In nearly every Ward. One Democrat
Is certainly elected to Council, and one to
School Board. The majority of several
radical candidates is only six or seven. The
latter party had nine hundred majority
last fall on the Congressional vote, so much
for free election!

Tnc journal and the senatorship'

The Journal is In labor about the United
states Senatorship. and would bring forth
some thing If it could. Its editor has been
ON pilgrimage to Columbus, no doubt to
consult with his distinguished friend fAk-
RoTT. who expects to succeed SCHENCK' as
Representative, in case that individual Is
elected TO the United States Senate from
Ohio-a State of which he is not citlzeh
has not been for several years past--and
was not when elected a Representative IN
Congress from the Third District.
This fact il so notorious here that some of
the most prominent and reliable Repubil-
cans in Dayton do not hesitate to designate
him AS an advcnturer. and to denounce him
for his arrogant prctensions in regard 10
the Senatorship. The editor Of the Joarhot'
too, comes in for share of the opprobrium
that attaches to Scheuck. and by many of
his own party the Journal is regarded SIM
,Jy as the medium through which Parrot
aud his patron give out their utterances.
The principal charge which the Journal
of this morning brings against Senator
SHERMAN is, that on some occasions, he has
manifested a due regard for law and order,
and the proprieties of the high station he
fills. and that he did not, at the bidding OF
the fanatical Abolition destructives, OF
whom the editor of the Journal is fair
specimen, descend to the same depths OF
infimy that ScHENCK and men of his stripe
did.
While SHERMAN gave his support to the
war and the administration of LINCOLN, he
never forgot that he was an American Sena-
tor and gentleman. That he did not
participate in the insane crusade against
the social and political rights of his fellow
citizens is now counted an objectionable
sin, never to be forgiven by the illustrious
trio composed of ScHENCK, PARROT and
the editor of the Journal.

states that be does not know as he can take

the pulpit during the war for the success of
the Southern cause but as the prayers were
never answered he is Of the opinion that no
aid and comfort were given, and therefore
he remains loyal citizen.

SOUND ADVICE FOR WESTERN Stock
GRowERs.-Why G don't the Western farm
ers, instead of selling their half-grown
stock to middle men, Keep them over this
winter and feed them until ripe for the
butcher? They have corn in abundance.
Never before was there such crop, and
unless it is used this winter in fattening
stock, it can yield them little or no profit.
A moments reflection viii show the pro-
priety and profit of this course. Take our
quotations as the test. Our market is
unusually overstocked, but only with poor
cattle. Prime good steers are scarce, and
have been for year back, and therefore it
is that they so readily command l0c. per
pound while the scallawags, of which the
supply seems inexharstible, brings less
than one-half that figure. Suppose the
farmers of the West keep those little hop
pers ut home until next spring, feed them
out of their abundance, how much more
profit would they realize? 1t is to be hoped
that they will give this matter proper con-
sideration and if they do, the consumers
of the Eastern States are soon TO have bet
ter beef, and the feeders of the West larger
profit albany Argus.
