TuE FIFTH NATIONAL HossE ENHIBIrIoN-
Extensive preparations are making for the
grand horse exhibition in this city on the 9th
2Sth, Doth and Both of August next. and
there are many favoring influences and cheer
ing indications of a triumphant result. Never
before in the experience of former managers
has there been more hearty cooperation
among interested classes, or such unwearied
effort among the working men of the city
The managers of other exhibitions, the
Springfield club who SO successfully en-
gineered the late 4th of July ceremonies. the
officers of the Hampden agricultural society
the railroad and steamboat corporations. the
owners of rare and noted horses, the lovers
and judges of Workmanship, and gentlemen
eminent in the professions and occupying
the highest rank in military and civil life, are
for once agreed and all extend the helping
hand. Nine thousand dollars have been Of
fered in premiums for thirty classes of horses :;
Hampden Park, unequaled in extent and
beauty, is being placed in all its appointments
in perfect order; the four railroads centering
here offer to carry horses with their grooms
both ways free; more than a score of connect
ing roads and boats offer similar transporta-
ton at half fare, and caterers, showmen and
artists are perfecting arrangements accord
ingly. Is it not time for all classes to open
their eyes in expectancy? 4 Springfield
horse show, it should be remembered, is a
different thing, and not to be eonfounded
with horse shows and races elsewhere. These
too often make the speed of old and broken
down track horses the chief consideration,
and betting, gambling, and the like, the only
pastime. The Springfield shows, from their
first Inauguration in 1858, have maintained
higher grounds. Although speed is great
feature, it has never been the only one.
Beauty, Style, action general capability and
service among all classes and ages is also
taken into account, making the exhibition
what it ought to be, complete and satisfac-
tory in every part. No other motive have
the present managers than laudable public
spirit purpose to elevate the horse interest,
to improve his character, to enhance his
value, and enlarge the useful purpose to
which he may be put in the service of man

a Republican State Convention was held

party in that state. one pretty strongly radi-
cal, under the lead of Mr.. Hunnicutt, and
one somewhat conservative under the lead OF
MIR Bolts. Bolts has been afraid of negro
suffrage, and of negro equality generally
He was member of the Republican National
Convention at Philadelphia last summer, and
there distinguished himself by his persistent
hostility to impartial suffrage. Now that
suffrage has been granted by an act of Con-
gress. he receives it with some disgust, but
Is yet exceedingly anxious lest the poor col
ored people should get their rights faster
than they are able to understand them. Mr..
Hunnicutt, and other radicals, and with
them. of course, the whole negro vote, are
strenuous in insisting that there shall be no
halfway work about reconstruction in Vir-
ginia. but that in the new state which is to
be built upon the ruins of the rebellion the
rights of all men shall be equal and that
colored men shall like others have the right
not onlv to vote but to be voted for: or, as
Fred Douglass expresses it, that they shall
have right to all the boxes, the ballot-box.

We very cheerfully give place to the aboye
suggestive communication. 1t is hardly
question whether the exhibitions of speed at
,ur agricultural fairs are more mischievous
than beneficial. There is no need of putting
temptation in the way of any one to encour
,ge gambling The natural inclination in
that direction.s strong enough without the
stimulant of horse-racing or horse-trotting
at fairs. A speed of ten miles an hour is
about the best that any horse can attain and

beyond that is mere fancy, waste of the
muscle of a noble animal to no purpose ex-
cept as furnishing an opportunity for bet
ting. The test applied to horses in the mat
ter of speed or strength, should be for the
purpose of ascertaining what they can do as
roadsters or draft horses, not what they can

some value to his owners in the money it
enables them to win but that is not the
end for which those interested in a really
valuable race of horses should aim at And
since horse racing is fast becoming national
institution IN this country, it is in Eng
land, and the scenes witnessed at the Derby
in England are repeated at Jerome Park and
other race courses near New York, we hope
our agricultural societies will leave this
horse-racing to the sports who make it
profession, and offer no premiums for any
spasmodic or exceptional achievements Of
horses, but, if at all, for such speed and
work as they are capable of as steady and
continuous labor.

CROP PRosPECrs.-The Agricultural d

CROP PRosPEcrs.-The Agricultural De-
partment reports that there has never before
been favorable prospect for uniformly
good crops since the establishment of the
Statistical Bureau. The average production
of wheat is five bushels for each individual in
the country, while the promise for the pres
ent year is about six bushels.
The statistical returns for July show an
improvement in the condition of wheat over
last year in every state but Texas, Nebraska
and Minnesota. the diminution in the latter
case being 4 per cent.
The highest improvement is in Ohio, 100
per cent, West Virginia 70, Georgia 90,
Tennessee %, Indiana 81, Kentucky Sc,
Michigan IS, Vermont %, New Jersey %,
New York II. All the states except Yer
mont, New York and Pennsy lvania, show an
increase of spring wheat on last year.
The average corn crop is unusually large.
Other grains show an improvement over last
year, though not SO great as in wheat.
The reports show the prospect of largely
increased yield in other productions. In fact,
the reports received from all sections, except
in certain limited localities, are most encour-
aging and indicate highly remunerative re-
suits for agricultural labor, and consumers
have the prospect of cheaper bread than for
many months past.

ever. in all respects harmonious, each section
of the party manifesting some jealousy of
the other. The Radicals had a large major
ity of the meeting, and the Bolts party drew
off and held themselves partly aloof from the
convention The next day a mass meeting
was held and Mr.. Bolts and others addressed
it, but it refused to pass his address and
platform which were endorsed by Mr.. Hunni-
cult, evidently mistrusting anything which
was written by Mr.. Bolts. The assembly,
however, passed some resolutions among
which is the following:
g Resolred, That the. Republican party look
forward to such acts of protection as Gen.
Sheridan and other generals are extending to
them, with great hope in the future the
prosperity of the country, and that we as a
party now give notice that when the proper
time arrives to nominate candidates for Pres
ident and Vice President we shall give all
such acts of protection to the loyal people
of the South their due consideration.
We do not anticipate any serious danger
growing out of this present disagreement.
Mr. Bolts has not, by any previous good po-
litical management, or clear political fore
sight, proved his ability to be successful
leader of the party of progress in these times,
and the Radicals of Virginia have been wise
in refusing to surrender to his leadership.
He belongs decidedly to past political age,
and fails to comprehend the new issues which
are now presented The new Virginia should
be fashioned by the hands of men heartily in
sympathy with the new era of freedom, and
not by those who have only given a reluctant
assent to every advance toward agovernment
founded in fact as well as in theory upon the
equal rights of all men.

DEATH OF HENRY STEvENs.-Henry Ste
ems, Esq, a we'll known citizen of this State
died at Barnet Tuesday evening of last week,
aged IS years. He has suffered from paraly-
sis for year or more. Mr.. Stevens has been
prominent a collector of documents re-
lating to the history of Vermont, and the
service of Vernonters in the revolutionary
war, and the war of 1912. Some of these
documents have been sold by Mr.. S. to the
State, and some he had in his possession at
the time of his decease, or had parted with
to other parties. He was for several years
president of the Vermont Historical Society,
but that society sometime since passed into
the control of persons who were more anxious
to benefit the State, than to make money
out of their historical researches.

The conservative party in Kentucky, is

and this party issued an address to the North

secretly for the rebellion can have shadow
of chance for nomination, and as far as
their organization is concerned, for an cleo

the difficulty is to bring it into proper

turned confederate soldier had been restored
by the Union Democratic party to all the
rights he had lost by participation IN the

STILL L NHARMoNIoUs.-Cain of the Rutland
Courier still refuses to harmonic with the
- Smith and Atkins wing of his party.
He declines to support John l.. Edwards for
governor, because he do mt know him, and
supports E. j. Phelps for that Office He says,
= Neither shall we vote for John L. Edwards
and all the Smiths and Atkinses in or out of
Vermont cannot change our mind
In another place in his last paper he has
the following
FIRE AwAY.-The self-important would-be
leader of the Democratic party, Ii. b. Smith
IF Milton, is down on John Cain in his
little hand-organ, the SPIRIT of the Age, be-
cause said Cain cannot be led by the nose to
do his dirty work. Fire away Smith There
is nobody hurt. We ask no polite favors
inside outside the Democratic party.
Cain also dominates Gen. Grant for the
presidency because he thinks - Wade, Chase
and Ben Butler " are opposed to the general
and we suspect, also, because he thinks
- Smith and Atkins y opposed the man who
crushed the rebellion.
We have some curiosity to see how many
votes the Cain wing of the party will poll in
september. Outside of Rutland the party
is mt powerful on the west side of the noun
tain and unless Cain secures a respectable
vote for Mr.. Phelps, % Smith and Atkins >
will laugh at him.
