them one mile he will 90 with them twain.
We are with the noble women of Chicago in
this their grand crusade. For half century
past it has been daily becoming more manifest
that the harmony of the married relation is
impossible unless the wife can have some law
full, tangible, available means of securing, not
to say compelling, the obedience of the hus-
band. For where no power to secure harmony,
and no right to require harmony, exist, dscord
must be as lawful as it is easy. And certainly
speedy divorce is preferable to perpetual dis
cord. 1t will readily be seen, therefore, that
the assertion of unqualified independence by
the husband resolves the marriage relation
into that of Free Love. And since by SIX
thousand years of dsObedience woman has
demonstrated her essential superiority to man,
nothing can be clearer than that the harmony
of the sexes will be insured by that SUI
premacy of our fair enslavers which the
Chicago Convention have prepared to inaugu-
rate at the lannon's mouth.

WHAT TO 90. and NOW TO DO IT.

10 tn Editor Of The Tribune.
SIR: | wish to ask you a question, and re-
quest au answer in TIE TRIBUNE.
have followed merchandise selling for several years
and have barely made living, after working hard to
get ahead OF expenses Now want to try agriculture
or stoclraisng but must learn the business Can do
so in New-York Satei What had better do at hrstl
thought Of getting with good farmer sOcraiser
acres of my TO commence for myself Your advice
TO young men is 80 practical that am anxious to have
your views IN my case. Yours truly, &C
Ansrer.-So much depends on PERSONS age,
strength, and past experience, that such state
ment as the above can receive no very exact
response. However, we will try.
A man embarling in any other business ex-
poets to give some years to learning that bust
ness, and to receive little or no other cOmpen
sation meantime while everyone fancies him
self farmer enough to earn good wages at
once. Hence, the pay of farm-hands seems
meager because it 3 unfairly estimated We
advise G.. c. to make his way at once to some
good farmer and say to him, 81 want to learn
"your art what can you give me for years
faithful, if not very efficient, servicew BY
active inquiry from place to place, he will
doubtless find, in the course of few days,
one who will give him his board and $3.50
year; of which he ought to have at least 800
when the year is out.
Now, years work will not make him q
good farmer; but. if he be intelligent and OBJ
serving, it will teach him to harness and handle
teams, TO plow SOW, plant, till, and harvest,
with respectable efficiency, so as to enable him
to command beside board, at least $500 for his
next years work and not less than $500 for
his third. At the end of this third year, if he
keeps his health, he should have 800 saved, in
Guiding interest on his earlier savings.
Now 800 will not buy much of place in
this neighborhood but man may make a
very good start on it in any new country. The
pioneers who settled Ohio, Indiana, Illinois,
Michigan, Wisconsin, Iowa, Minnesota, and
Kansas, averaged a good deal less than 800
each as their outfit. With 800, man may
take up a quarter section of homestead land,
buy a team and COW, build cabin and cattle
shelter, get n few implements, break up and
SOW or plant twenty acres of prairie, and have
a crop growing. Now he may bring wife
home to his cabin, provided he can find one
ready to work hard, dress cOarsely and live
frugally for five years; at the end of which
period, he should, with fair luck, have forty
acres under good cultivation, as many more
fenced in for hay and pasture, and fair stock
of young cattle After that, G. C.. may pass
an Eight Hour law for himself and wife, and
live in substantial independence and comfort
1t will thus take eight years to dig an indie
pendence out of the earth; but let us allow
two years leeway for sickness and misfortune,
and say ten years. We not believe the wide
earth prolers another so ready and sure way

Occasionally. by way of episode and to checker
the uniformity of the iniquity, we have ull-
ferent kind of misdemeanOr. Thus, at OllVer
Township Democrat rejoicing i'll the name OF
Gen. John Ross, triumphantly led to the polls
an idiot named Henry Hixon. Ross is described
in the testimony as ga leading Democrat as
he certainly was on this occasion, for he leu
Hixon to the hustings, and saw that he duly
deposited a Democratic ballot. Hlxons name
had before been taken off the list " for mental
disability DR.. GrotechOck, the family ply

vote the Democratic ticket!
The testimony in regard to all these Penn
sylvania frauds is very vOluminous, and, for
want of space, we are forced to select only the
most salient features. If the contested election
case of John X. Robson agt. Samuel L. Shu-
CART doesn't put our friends in Pennsylvania
this year upon their guard against sham natu-
raization papers and Democratic coifee-pots
they must be as idiotc as Henry Hixon.

ORR PACIFIC EMPIRE.

A recent semi-annual Review of the Trade
and Commerce of San Francisco affords COM
prehensive and satisfactory exhibit of the con-
tinuing growth of this metropolis of the Pacific
States. It's imports from foreign countries for
the half year ending June 30 are $S,OOOOOO in
gold, willie those from the Atlantic States
amount in currency to 22457,0OO, total IN
crease of about eight millions on the imports
for the like period of last year. While It's total
imports thus exceed S24,0O0,0OO in gold values,
its exports for the half year are in merchan-
disc S11.OOO,0OO bullion and coin $2O,OOO,OOO;
total, s3t 100000 in gold. The Savings Banks
have deposits amounting to S11OOO,OOO. The
coinage at the mint amounted to S300oOOO,
of which $4,000 were silver, being only
half that of the same period In the previous
year. The duties on imports amounted to
S4O2S ,522 and the receipts of internal revenue
to S3,OOO0OO The army disbursements on the
Pacific coast were s5,179S79. The dividends of
the % leading mining, banking, and insurance
companies for the three months ending June
80 amount to 81 10000. The amounts dis
bIrsed by 81 leading Incorporated companies
for the six months amount to $2,959,3OO as
against $3,19O7OO for the like period OF the
previous year. The sales of mining stock for
the six months amount to S6l, jl3l23, as against
530,00O000 the previous year, and S2l,OOO,OOO
for the like period in the year 1866 The
market values of the Is leading mining
companies on the COmstOck Lode amount
TO S9.6Sj,9OO as against $14374,09S in 1856,
showing decline of S47OO,OOO in value in two
years. The dividends paid by these companies
for the six months were S9O4,OOO, as against
81 ,9S3O00 for the like period Of 1867, while the
assessments %orc S7332O0 for the first half
wear of 1862 IS against $332,2S0 for the like
period of 567. These facts show a decline of
81 100000 in annual profit, and clearly demon
strate that unless the Comstock Lode shall be
tunncled on the plan of NJ. SutrO, all these
mines will soon cease to yield revenue. Inc
local insurance, railroad, and other companies
are paying moderate dividends. The sales OF
real estate for the half year are SAT, and
amount % Sf3,S3O,436. During the half year
1850 vessels arrived, bringing 100000 tuns of
freight, against $50 vessels and 100000 tuns
for the like period last year. San Francisco
has a fleet of 40 steamers, registering over
10000 tuns all owned by three companies
The arrivals of passengers by sea were 32,1S6,
against 1 1857 departures, showing net gain
of over 10000. In the same period last year
the gain was only 5000 There arrived $3.50
Chinese and japanese, and departed only 565.
Fourteen vessels wholly laden with railroad
iron, and 1913 vessels in ALL were inward bound
toward San Francisco when the Review was
published. Such figures give an accurate, and,
when duly considered most impressive view
Of the rapidly with which our Pacific Empire
is growing in population, wealth. and power.

The Louisville Journal, since it has an undis-
guised Rebel for its Editor, is peculiarly savage
on carpet baggers"- is, on Northern men
who have migrated to the South without be-
coming Rebels. He justfes the Chivalry IN
refusing all civilites to carpet baggers -
saying:
"There is not reputable Radical editor IN the NORTH
who would IL ne placed IN the Cohdltoh oi thS
Southern people act think and speak just as they 40
Reconstruction is founded upon the interference the
orv OF government and supported by the ankest eNocs
that were Matched by the htermedulng splrg OF
society and government; and the social exclusion 70
which the carpetbagger finds himself subject Is not only
natural and right but 1t Is inevitable lie generally
low fellow from the slums Of the North, who goes South
expecting his loyalty to put him into the way Of high
life: and failing 10 be received he al once charges All
who are not yagabonds with being Rebels Never having
had any respectabity at home, he particularly sxack

but a thOusandandOne social and personal disreputa

He is generally q low fellow you see
but sometimes he is n't-that is, when he
damns Congress and hurrahs for Seymour and
Blair Then he is good enough TO associate
with Rebel men and be smiled at by Rebel
women. But those who went down with
gu. S." printed on their carpet-bags, ana
these swung over their shoulders, do MT like TO
talk that way so The journal can say OF

J. S. Mex. writes us in protest against the
doctrine of Chief Justice Chase, in his recent
charge to Grand Jury in West Virginia, that.
by the adoption of the XIVth Amendment TO
the Federal Constitution, we have become a
nation. He says:
"A nation must have ruler; a ruler must have
aristOcracy; aristOcracy humble oyertaXed sub
nssive people goryng their degradation, proud u
being loyal subjects" &c. &c.
We most respectfully advise j. S. Mex. that
we don't begin to see that any of these things
