The Nerr- York Tunes calls the Reform movement in
England John Bhght's movement" This is simply
absurd. 1t would be quite as accurate to designate
the Protestant Reformation Luther's movements the
English Rebellion, which ended in the decapltation
Of Charles l., Cromwelrs movement; the American
Revolution, Washington's movement. All great pop
pular movements must of necessity, have leaders.
Bright is simply the principal leader in the present
agitation for Parliamentary Reform, aud that agitation
is traceabe TO obvious causes, not the least of which
is we opine, the indirect influence upon the masses
in England of Democratic institutions in the United
States.

TIE ASSOCIATED PRESS.

As we have anticipated, the action OF Messrs HAS
tead and White in precpitately hurryng out OF the
Associated Press does not meet the appreciation oil
the Western Press. The card of Mr.. ScrppS reveals
the existence of tyranny which we have all along
assaed He makes the mistake of supposng that there
is any disposition on the part of the Associated Press
to injure the newspapers outside of New-York This
newspaper as q member of the Executive Committee
could never consent to any such policy. 1t Is just
to our neghbors to say we have never heard such
policy asserted The one question on which we unite
is that with our consent no man shall be allowed
70 aggrandize the power Of controlling the news OF
this country and becoming to us the Reuter- OF Amer
ica Eminent English journalists unite in this wish'
and beg US to keep the American press free from
tyranny which to-day the curse Of journalism in En-
gland Mr.. Hastead and Mr.. White received every
kindness from US. There proposition they could
have made in any way proper that We would not have
accepted. But the proposition we could not ac-
cept was that we should recognize dismissed aud
unflthfu servant as a rival in gathering, aud
those who sustained him could hope for no associa-
ton with us. We desire no antagonsm We seek
to impose no burdens. We wish TO do to the outside
press what we do to each other, and no more.
New-York tribune., 1866-12-06
THE COMMISSIONER or AGRIcUL TURE


We have the usual monthly report from the
Agricultural Bureau-a pamphlet nearly as valuable
as an agricultural newspaper. We are told that
Providence is giving genial seasons and that big
things are the result; also, that the National seed
store is doing larger business than ever. Perhaps
farmers and others had better stop saving garden
seeds and send directly to Washington. But the
Commissioner complains that he has not money
enough. He has expended only about one hundred
and sxty.two thousand dollars this year.
The estimate of the crops of the year Is toerably
definite but it would be more complete had
the fractions Of bushels been given for he deals in
fractions. He takes fine sight Much Of the statis
teal work Is to solve questions like this How much
seyen-tenths of threeeghths Of ve-sxths Of three
fourths of one-ninthl
The Commissioner has got a bright idea. He pro-
poses send to Egypt for cotton seed to increase the
Southern crop. Perhaps he thinks that he will get
of the seed which the Egyptians procured in our
country few years ago. This about the time
that seed was sent to India and other parts Of Asia
One may want to know what this was done for. 1t
was because the staple in those hot climates is short
that il cannot be worked on any Of our machinery.
Congress being in session this Department will be-
come active The costly and extensive greenhouses
are blooming with flowers Every member who has
his wife with him. or who has let her at home, will
have an evening bouquet These flowers said TO be
beautiful They certainly give much light.

THE NEWYoRK CENTRAL RAILROAD.

THE NEW YORK CENTRAL hdfLhOAD'
1t is currently rumored that the New.York Central
Railroad Company have in contemplation the election
of the Hon. WILLIAM G. FARGO of Buffalo, Us Presl-
dent This is hopeful indication, as well for The
travelling and freght-carrying public as the stock
holders of the Central. Mr. Fargo is man OF large
executive or business capacity and experience and
should he be elected, have doubt that he would
manage the affairs Of that great corporation upon in
telligent business principles If he will only devote
himself to the interests Of the Central with the un-
firing energy and capacity he has heretofore displayed
in another and hardly less extensive and important
field, he will prove the best man for the position
within the reach of the Company; and we do not be-
eve that under his management the concern would
be run in the interest of any political party or any
financial clique. The Company has heretofore had
the unenviabe reputation of having spent large sums
in aid of the Democratic party to the detrment both
of sound political morality and the pecuniay interests
of its stockholders The election Of Mr.. Fargo would
cure all this and the property would be made vastly
more productive, while the public would be better
served.

Colorado Jewett, always ingenious, memoriazes

in the absence Of legal successor, We infer from
