THE Washington CORES pondent of
the New York Tribune seems to have
a very poor opinion of the Congress
sional party which recently made the
tour of the Southern States to ascer-
tain the feeling of the people on the
question of restoration. It saws:
!" The members of the party who went
for little recreation, succeeded in
obtaining it, and those who went to
have good time, had that also;
only those were disappointed who ac-
companied the excursion to obtain a
correct idea of the feelings of the
Southern people, The champagnes.
turkies, whiskys, brandies, wines. lob
sters, ices, turtles, ETC., etc., had no
limit, and it was not the fault of
the Southern people if any Con
gresham came home hungry or
thirsty. The affair was not.
however, without it's lessons. One
Congressman lost his overcoat, an
other mis- valise, others had their
pockets picked. The wife of Sen
ator lost a valuable gold watch, and
the only members of the party who
lost nothing were the newspaper cor
respondents, the reason in their case
being that they had nothing to lose"

Agricultural SOCieties-AgriculturaI
Fairs

Conventions are being held all over
the land for almost all sorts of asso-
Citations. Why not hold an Agricultu-
raj Society Convention? We know
that there is much to be learned by an
interchange of opinion in regard to
the management of Faiirs-how they
should be conducted, the best plan for
getting up premium list, the amount
of premiums to be offered, the rate or
price Of entrance fee, per centage on
entrees, ticket fees, rules for govern
ment of Fairs, when the Fairs should
be held,so as to not be on the same
days, and many other things which
would be for general good We sug-
gest that convention, such as we
have named, be held in this city, on
the first Tuesday in March next, and
that Warrick, Posey. Gibson and
Knox Counties, of this State, as also
Henderson and Daviess Counties, KY.

agricultural societies named, and as
many others as wish to meet in con-

I reply to yours of the Goth inst, that a

effect purchase or sale of any merchandise

thereby no liability to license or special

But If such per on be employed by any
other or more than one firm of dealers or

earnestly solicit your kindness to spare

To tt ink of a virtuous Democratic
post Office box being wantonIy pro-
faneI by the presence of abolition in
cendiary documents Having endured
that sort of thing for an entire year
and thereby incurred an indebtedness
to us of two dollars of course the
Democratic mind becomes exasperatedl
Democracy can tolerate an abolition
paper for 20 or 80 weeks, but it cannot
be expected to read one for a whole
year without being wrought up to a
fit of indignation. Such wrath is no
doubt natural and timely, and saves the
honor of the post Office box, but it is
difficult to see how it is an excuse
for swindling US out of the price of
the paper. Possibly it may be viftu-
Gus but doesn't seem honest.

TIE CID BARBAn1sr REv1TED.


Recently General Siekles issued an
order prohibiting the infiction ofpub-
lie whipping upon men in his military
department. Straightway Gov. Worth,
Of North Carolina, repaired to Wash
ington and demonstrated to President
johnson against this measure, express
sing his amazement that the time-hon-
ored customs of North Carolinians
should thus be interfered with by a
military decree. The President heark-
ened with compassion to this COM
pIaint, and in his unreasonable elem
ency toward subjugated Shareholders,
annulled the unpalatable order.
Accordingly public hOgging Of ne
groes will be resumed upon a larger
scale than ever. aud of what will be
done an idea is conveyed in the state
ments, recently made public, Of gen.
tleman connected for some time past
with a court martial sitting at Raleigh,
North Carolina. He says that during
his stay there negroes were every day
fiogged near the court house as fast as
they could be condemned by the Court
within, and were Immediately thereaf-
ter sold at auction for term of years.
An immense crowd assembled to wit
ness these inhuman performances, and
in one instance the victim received
three hundred lashes By the laws of
North Carolina hogging works a dis
qualification from exercising the fran
chise which accounts partially for the
zeal with which the punishment is in
hicted on the colored race.
The cowardly barbarism which thus
vents its impotents tspleen upon a down
trodden race is only equalled in wick
edness by the Executive connivance
which WithdraWs the shield Of protee-
ton from It's helpless victims. And
what shall we say of the Supreme
Court which sends the freedmen for
redress to such civil courts as these
from whence they obtain only fogging,
disfranchisement and slavery ? Of
course, if Congress cannot establish
military tribunals as the FIVE old fos-
sils who control the decisions of the
Supreme Court have just decided, the
freedmen have no place to repair for
justice except to the courts constituted
of their late masters, and to juries on
which no negro or other loyal man is
allowed to sit. The freedmen's 5 bur
eau avails nothing for their protection
because the civil courts are "opeu. :"
General Sickles, or any other military
officer commanding in the South, dare
not interfere with the free course of
this inhuman sort of justice which for
trivial and imaginary ofFenses Iaoerates
the backs of men, sells them into
bondage and disqualiies them for fu-
ture citizenship. How vast and invi-
olable, in Executive and Supreme
Court judgment, are the rights of for
sworn and rebeIlious white citizens,
and how 'impalpable and insignificant
are those of law abiding black ones +!

The General Assembly seems now to
be disposed to distribute the Agricul
tural College Fund among the princip-
al institutions Of learning already es =
tablished in the State instead Of ap-
propriating it to the foundation of one
central institution. We earnestly hope
no such thing will be done, but if the
fund is to be thus dissipated the two
Colleges at Delaware certainly should
not be overlooked in the distribution.
If the experiment of agricultural ed
ucation Is to be tried in the State at
all 1t would seem infinitely preferable
that a central farmers school be estab-
lished in some desirable location, and
the entire fund devoted to its endow-
ment and maintenance. There are too
many colleges in the State already, and
it would be better for the cause of
learning if the endowments of the
many were concentrated in few and
these built uD into first class institu-
tons instead of being frittered away
among a multitude of third rate ones.
The progress ofhigher education must
not be judged by the number of Col
leges but by their quality, and expert
ence teaches that while we have a score
of Universities, so called. scattered
throughout the State we would have
better schools and higher order of
education with less than half SO many.
Nor is it at all likely that Ohio can
well maintain more than one Agricul-
tural College, an d even one will Ian
guish unless the entire fund and the
patronage of the whole State is con-
centrated to its foundation and main
tenance.
The National Government has given
US a splendid fund and it does seem
like folly to scatter it among half doz-
en- or more different Institutions. But
if this must be done we insist that the
of Delaware shall have a pro
portion Commensurate with their mer-
its, in which respect few institutions
in the State equal and none excel them.

AGRICULTURE md PROTECTION
The Agricultural Convention held
in Columbus last week adopted a res
olution, offered by Judge I. G. Jones,
Of this place, declaring it to be the
sense Of the Convention that Congress
in arranging duties on imports, ought
to provide thatall agricultural products
should have equal protection with man
ufactured articles and other imports"
No argument is needed to sustain
the Justice and propriety of such a
proposition. There is no reason or
justice in protecting manufacturers to
the exclusion of agriculturists. As
the resolution very aptIy states, "if it
be said that the manufacturers of the
country are compelled to compete with
the cheap labor of other countries, it
may be replied that the same is true in
TO persons engaged in agri-
culture" And yet while the wool
grower and farmer are left thus to com
pete unprotected with foreign labor
they are compelled, under the present
tariff system to pay an enormous
bonus in tariffs on manufactured goods |
to sustain the manufacturers against
this same competition. The existing
system Of protective tariffs is therefore |
open to objection as class legislation
md either ought to be repealed imme- !
