the new constitution shall be
stamped on every act Of legisla-
ton, and when such legislation
shall find approval and support In
that general public sentiment
which gives to law it's vitality, will
our State fairly enter upon that
career of greatness and prosperity
which the Almighty designed for
her. Tt would be idle to deny that
while a large majority of our Deo-
pie have testified In the str0 est
manner to their approval of that
feature of the Constitution of which
I have spoken, there is still a
minority, not wanting in intelli-
gence and virtue, who are sire
nously opposed to it. Much is to
be hoped from the good sense, the
discretion and inherent love of
justice of the American people for
the gradual wearing away of the
preiudices upon which alone this
opposition is founded. Meantime
let our course, while resolute and
be also moderate and
Let legislation be kept
as much as possible in harmony
with. the sentiments of the whole
people. IL is better that the course
of legislation should rather fall
behind than to outstrip the popular
wishes and demands. Let every
thing consistent with right and
Justice be done to bring back the
era Of good feeling, and to wash
from the memories of all every
thing that tends to ALLEVIATE one
class or one party from another.
I refrain at this time from enter
ing into any discussion of measures
which / may deem of Importance.
In future I viii discharge the duty
imposed upon me by giving to the
General Assembly information re-.
specting the condition of the State,
and recommending toits consider
alton such legislation as may seem
/ venture, however, to.
urge immediate measures for the
repression of lawlessness and dis
order now rife in many parts of
the State. From many parishes
we have almost daily accounts Of
violence and outrage in many
cases most brutal and revolving
murders without any effort on
the part of the people to prevent
or punish them.
We want peace and order with
out it we can have no prosperity,
Such measures must be adopted
to secure life and property as may
be necessary. If the tax payers
prefer to support q strong CON
force to doing their duty
as citizens by,helping the officers,
yes, by making the officers of the
law keep the peace, and protect
the life of every man, however
poor, then the responsibility viii
be upon them, and not the State
administration. Everybody knows

holders, and those who claim and

and safe throughout the State as
any part of the Union,
The hands of the courts must
be strengthened and upheld the
peace officers must do their duty
the good people must rise up
and vindicate the law. The press,
TOO vindictive and partisan, should
unite with the government in de-
ncuncing crime, and aid in the
of a healthy nuh6c

THE CATTLE DISEASE.

We have received communication from
VIM. A. Wisdom, v s., of this city, on the
subject of the ''rinderpest or cattle disease. y
He speaks at some length of his success
in treating cattle homeopathically; afiirms
that there is no disease among the cattle Of
this country, of character identical with
European Rinderpest; and says
''You may remember that some years
since, a disease termed leuro-pneumonia,
or Typhus in cattle, prevailed in this vicin-
ity, and number of farmers lost their cat
tie with it. There are three stages of the
disease. In the first stage, we are almost
certain Of cure, but in most cases the ami
NAL is in the third stage when you are called
in. Some are taken in the worst form al
the first, and then all remedies are doubtful.
The cases have treated on high or hilly
land have been more successful with. On
low land or near running water, the disease
seems to me to be more fatal.
cat ameeting of the Pennsylvania College
of Veterinary Surgeons, on the 18th ult.,
Jas. Raynor, V. S., of West Chester, stated
that he has been treating this disease in the
neighborhood of Concord with marked sue
cess. He promises me letter giving me a
diagnosis of the symptoms of the disease

of wheat, and sold five hundred and twelve
bushels; my neighbor on the south had
forty-six acres in wheat, most all summer
iallowed, and he told me he had only about
to forty years ago, raised good crops, but
laiterly, his crops have dwindled down to
almost nothing. His wheat in 1866 was not
half as good as this year. The reason of his
failure is, he keeps almost no stock, and
what he does keep he feeds on straw in
winter, except his horses When straw
alone is fed to stock, the stock is only straw
when spring comes, and the manure Is
worse than straw. 1t would, think, do
more good to the land before passing
through the stomachs of the cattle. Now,
this farmer is only specimen of many we
yet have in Seneca county. am feeding

my sheep aud cattle dung with the muck.

When we get the manure heap made after
Mr.. Johnston's plan, we propose to say
what, in our judgment, is the best applica-
| tion of it. MUMFORD.

HE ACCUMULATION OF mAsunrs.

The great question of the age for farmers,
is how to get sufficient manure To sue
cessfuliy farm without liberal supply, is,
in our judgment, one Of the responsibilities.
1t is true that some seem to think that good
farming consists in getting the best possible
crops from the soil without putting anything
back in return, and consequently leaving the
land poorer. This course is evidently err
roneous and must end in ruin. In our judy
ment good farmer is one who gets large
and remunerative crops and leaves the land
better than before. How to do this is the
important thing for farmers to know
There are variety of systems recommend
ed by theorists as well as practical men, all
more or less worthy of trial, but we appre-
bend the cultivation Of the grasses as far as
possible; rotation of crops; the gathering
together in the barn-yard of all the vegetable
matter accessible to the farm; and the intel
ligent feeding of all the coarse grains to
stock for the dairy or the butcher TO aug
ment and enrich the manure pile; are plans
that never yet have been known to fail. In
| illustration OF this, we prefer to quote the
venerable John Johnston, of Geneva, N. Y,
who is among the most successful farmers
of that State. Mr.. Johnston says:-
''You may rely upon it, that 1t is only by
mixed husbandry, and large part of it,
| whether cattle or sheep, or part of both,

due. The first case Of the disease which
was known here was in a COW, bought at
the cow-market in Philadelphia, from a
dealer who obtained her from one of the in
fected diaries near Darby. From this single
case can be traced every other case of Pleu-
ro-pneumonia with which am acquainted
in this county, as well as the cases which
occurred in the edge of Bucks county, and
which were the occasion of the late law
suit.
Hundreds of cattle have been destroyed
by the introduction Of that one diseased an
imal, The infection spreading from the sick
one to the healthy ones, only t0hen in close
proximity. There cannot be single case
shown OF one bsing sick from Pleuro-p neu-
monia, who had not been exposed to the
contagious effluyia of II diseased animal.
II, then, this be true, how important that
the greatest care should be exercised to ut
terly isolate all sick cattle, and even those
that have been even for moment in COM
pany With the sick. Viewed in this light,
the attempt to sell infected cattle to farmers
appears most criminal, and should receive
the heaviest penalties of the law. It is very
apparent to me, that unless farmers become
fully alive to the great danger which threat
ems their cattle, and use the utmost vigilance
to prevent the traffic in sick animals, it will
be but few years until we have enacted
here the scenes which spread dismay and
inflicted heavy pecuniary losses among the
agriculturisis of England. Do hear some
one say-This Is not the disease which pre-
vailed there2 We will examine that subject
in our next number.
