LENA MILLER.-This unfortunate
woman, who has, by the poisoning of
her husband, incurred the death pen
atty, and is now awaiting her final
doom in our Jail, seems to await her
fate with apparent Indifference, and a
callousness unparalleled in the annals
of crime. On Wednesday morning
last, while the Sheriff and his depu-
ties were getting several candidates
ready for the Western Penitcntiary,
she laughingly remarked that she
would soon take trip over the same
road, in company with the Sheriff,
whom she considers q very humane
man.

The exhibitions in our Court House,
last week, demonstrated the fact that
loyalists are about as successful in
wiping out the Providential distinct
ions of races and color, as they are
the Constitution and peace of our
country. Negroes as glibly mounted
the witness stand to testify against
whites, as if invited to participate in a
fandango, but were unable to point
out and identify those they were call
cd to testify against, without first
being trained, like other animals, by
the "whith trash"

The School CoNvEETIoN.-The at
tention Of our readers is called to the
proceedings of tho School Directors
Convention, held on the 18th instant.
We were pleased to see such a large
number of Directors present, and the
zeal they manifested in the cause of
education. If the labors of this meet
ing accomplish nothing more than a
uniform series of books throughout
the county, it will do good work.
We are sorry the Convention passed
the tax question in silence. This
should be agitated at every meeting
of Directors and Teachers, until the
principle is understood. Petitions
should be circulated and signed for
the purpose of bringing the question
before the Legislature. Without a
uniform tax throughout the State, as
contemplated in the inception Of the
system, and uniformity Of books
throughout the county, the School
system must retrograde. We believe,
also, that if School officers and our
capitalists would make proper effort,
the Normal School buildings would be
located at this place for the Sth dis
trict. Thiswould attract large mum
ber of persons among us, who would
annually leave thousands of dollars
with our hotels, boarding-houscs, and
merchants.

Address Ofthe State Central Committee.
The practical and sensible address of the Re-
publican state Central Committee deserves
the attention of our readers. 1t is clear ex-
planation of the causes which led to our de-
feat and a fresh warning to avoid them in the
future. There could be no more brief and
comprehensive summing up of these causes
than that given. Colonel Jordan says:--
General apathy, caused by an apparent failure to
appreciate the Importance of the contest Is the pr
mary of our defeat. Besides this, we had local
cent of themselves to destroy us We lost votes in
many places by of tue legislation of last

According to the official figures, itappears that
the decrease this year is 40, 7l0 on the Repub-
lican vote of 1866, and a decrease of only
%, 900 on the Democratic vote OF 1866-or, in
other words, there were over is, 900 more Re-
publicans who did not 60 to the polls at the
last election than there were Democrats. For
this result we have to thank the members OF
our own party. Colonel Jordan and the Com-
mittee did all they could to arouse them, the
papers lifted their voices for the same purpose.
But all was of no avail, and defeat was the
result.

year. In fact, the farmers are ''masters Of the
Situation" AS rule, they are out of debt
and have money in hand,
This condition of affairs results, in good
part, from the high prices which now for seve-
raj years have prevailed for almost every pro-
duct of the farm. AT the same time, the
value of real estate has advanced but slightly,
so that upon the same fixed investment the
farmer has been reaping an enhanced reward.
The wheat which now brings him three dol
lars bushel is grown upon the same soil
which used to yield him wheat that he sold
for only dollar bushel. Wages, it is true,
have advanced somewhat, but labor forms
smaller element in the productions of the soil
than in manufactures. Moreover, this element
is constantly diminishing in agriculture. One
man, with span of horses and reaper or
mower, does the work of ten men with cradles
and scythes. The improvements in agricultural
implements during the last ten years have
diminished the amount of manual labor re-
quired on farm from fifty to seventy-fve per
cent. Indeed, the present agricultural pro-
duotion of the country would be impossible
Reapers and mowers, horse -rakes and horse
hay y-forks, drills and separators, have put an
entirely new phase upon farming operations.
With these modern appliances one man can
till thousand acres of land more easily than
he could two hundred and fifty under the old
system. This increased production has reaped
a liberal reward. The market has been
under rather than overstocked; and the result
is that the farmers, as class, have been
rapidly increasing in wealth.
Two other elements which have contributed
to the growth of the farming interest, are
the splendid development of our manufacturing
industry during the past few years, and the
increased facilities for reaching market with
agricultural productions. The former has
created and sustained a constant home de-
mand for the productions of the soil; while
the latter has enabled the farmer to pocket
a large percentage of profits that once was
absorbed in the costs of transportation. Penn
sylvania is better customer for the wheat
growers of Wisconsin than England, while our
railroads and canals have rendered corn too
costly fuel for the prairie farmer of Illinois
The farming interest is the great interest of
the country. Its prosperity and development
lie at the basis of our national growth and
greatness, for they react upon every other
branch of industry and trade, stimulating all
to healthy progress. 1t is, therefore, with
no small degree of satisfaction that we look
upon the present prosperous condition of agri-
culture in our midst. 1t affords ground for
the STRONGEST confidence in the future growth
of the country.

The Present Condition of the Farming
Interests of the United States.

The Present Condition of the Farming
Interests of the United States.
The farming interests of this country were
probably never in so good a condition, and the
farmers themselves never so we'll of, as they
are now. Evidences of this may be seen on
every hand-in the increase Of farm products,
in the higher style of living among farmers,
the better education of their children, the
improvement of their estates, the erection of
new and costly buildings, the purchase and
use of improved and more costly agricultural
implements, their freedom from debt, and
their free use of accumulated capital. We
were much struck, on a recent visit to one Of
the best agricultural districts of New York, by
one fact which well illustrates the more indie
pendent position financially which farmers
are enabled to assume. We allude to their
ability to hold their crops, and not only to take
advantage Of, but to certain extent to con-
troll, the condition of the markets. We can
well remember the time when the farmers
were obliged to bring their crops to market as
soon as harvested, to satisfy debts already con-
tracted and pressing for payment. 1t was the
custom then for millers, grain factors, and
wool dealers to contract with the farmers in
advance for their products, generally making
a small payment down, and contracting at
prices which were pretty sure to be consider
ably under the probable figures current at the
time of delivery. That kind of thing is now
'played out" to use phrase of the
1Sy, We were informed by millers
that it was impossible to contract for
bushel of wheat in advance, although they
were then Offering price far in advance of
anything usually paid. The farmers were
able to hold their grain, and to take the
chances of the market. SO with WOOL we
found many farmers who, not satisfied with
the prices which were offered by the dealers,
