To the Editor Of the Press:
1 notice in your issue OF the inst, an ar
ticle on the subject of Commercial Manures.
While agree in the main as to the fact that
there should be an investigation of the value
of the commercial manures now offered for
sale in the country in order that protection
may be afforded to the farmer, yet think
the article unjust, and calculated to injure
the interests of the farmer and the State.
While there is no doubt there are parties en-
gagged in manufacturing who are making
themselves rich by selling worthless article,
yet does it no more argue that there are no
good articles of Super Phosphate, more than
to say, because money is counterfeited, all
money is spurious. The experience of prac-
tical men, is swishout manure good farming
is impossible" and the increasing demand
for commercial manures is proof enough that
It pays to use them, and with the testimony
of men of science, sustained by practical
farmers, the trade is Increasing each year,
notwithstanding the croakings of some would
be-considered wise, geniuses, who have little
knowledge, of the matter they have under
taken to handle, and less sense of propriety
or good manners.
In reference to this investigation, 1 say let
us have it, and let it be through, but while
we have it let us have it done fairly-let it be
from men of standing in practical as well as
chemical knowledge-not from men who are
interested in the manufacture of any brands,
not from any hand sample, but upon basis
something like the following: Let this State
select and call a meeting at the expense of
the State of the leading chemists from the
various States, let them examine the various
fertilizers, let the manufacturers be under
oath that the article is what they are now
selling-and at the same time let samples De
brought from places where they are for sale,
or procured by persons selected BY the cnenl
lists. If then the manufacturers make o"'n
to what is false let it be made known.
My opinion is, no article OF Supr' Fnos-
nbate should he purchased unless the farmer
i satisfied upon the following points: 1st,
orc the manufacturers reliable as to means
moral worth, what is their standing at home,
and have they control Of the material in order
that uniform article should be made each
year? Do they have the assistance and ad-
vice ola chemist who is thoroughly reliable
theoretically and practically-and win he
guarantee the whole article to be fully up to
the standard? would then demand of such
manufacturers whose word is as good as theiE
bond and their bond good for their guarantee
that they shall each year guarantee their ar,
ticle to be as good as the previous year. ano
If proven by uncontroverted evidence tnas -
is false, then the remedy,is before the 'Ai
ut vould seem from the foregoing commu-
,,aat;on that somebody has been hit by our
recent article on commercial manuies' les mnen \

strange to say, our correspondent sRn tblnks
our "article unjust and calculated to iniure
the interests of the farmer and the Statep,
This is indeed a remarkable statement when
the confessions "R' has made are taken into
account. Why, he thinks there should be an
investigation of the value of commercial ms.
nures now offered for sale in order to protect
the farmers, and expressly says "there is no
doubt there are parties engaged in manufac-
turing who are making themselves rich by
selling a worthless aIticlep Now that is just
what we said, and yet, forsooth, he fears we
have injured the interests of our farmers and
the State! And further, we said that many of
these manures have value and really contain
some ofthe mineral food which plants require.
What more can we say? Does "R" think we
ought to have said all these fertilizers con
tain that kind Of food for plants when he
confesses himself that many manufacturers
have grown rich by selling a worthless arti-
Gle? Mr.. R., are you not willing that we
should be as honest and frank as you are?
Your sneer at "would be considered wise
geniuses" is quite out of place in your COM
mnicaton and very far removed from good
taste. A little more logic and less of sneers
would have added more force to your commu-
nication. 1t is not wise championship to
concede away your own case. Good logic is
better for disputant than unwise and weak
concessions. Remember that.

The STATE AS MURDERER.-H. NJ Bovee,
Of Wisconsin, to whom the abolition of capital
punishment in that State is due, in an elo-
quent appeal to Gov. Geary of Pennsylvania
to commute the sentence of a murderer to inn
prisonment for life, says:
The criminal, who finds himself confronted
with the gallows, is rarely able to understand
the distinction between his own crime and the
crime which the State proposes to commit in
strangling him to death. To us there is great
moral difference, and that difference is not in
favor of the State; for while the criminal may
attempt to justify or excuse his crime by vari-
Gus pleas, however puerile or specious they
may appear, the State can offer none in justi-
ication of her brutal act The criminal may
plead drunkenness in extenuation of his crime,
but the State, in hanging him, can make no
such excuse, for the State never "gets drunk. T"
The criminal may plead loue Of money in pal
liation of his guilt, but the State can make no
such plea, for the State is rich. He may plead
weakness in extenuation OF his conduct, but
the State can offer no such excuse, for the
State is strong. He may plead ignorance as a
mitigating circumstance of his crime, but the
State can make no such plea, for the State has
pisdoDs and knowledge. The criminal may
plead the inability of his moral power to con-
troll, for the time being. the baser propensities
of his nature, hence his crime. VIII the State
of Pennsylvania admit that her sense of moral
right is eUer overborne by the passion of re-
| venre?

Two IMPORTANT MEAsUREs.-The Tribune'y
Washington dispatch says the Omnibus Paci.
nc Railroad bill will be resisted by several
Senators, on the ground of its cost, taking into
account the possibility of the Government
having to pay the bonds themselves. It Is es.
mated that the roads whose bonds are to be
guaranteed are 1890 miles long, which at $780,
600 per mile, the amount Of first mortgage
bonds allowed to be issued will be S144 900 OOO
The total amount of interest to te guaranteed
will for the thirty years the bonds run be
500, ,720,0 900, being $108 10000 more than the
principal ITSELF At $4,000 per mile subsidy
the entire risk taken by the Government
would be $37 900 less than by the proposed
omnibus bill at the subsidy named The bonds
required would amount to $76,S 900 and the
interest for thirty years to $138, 100000 The
total risk. therefore, is S215 040, 900.
The Times Washington dispatch saws the
details of the proposed bin for the reduction of
the army, agreed upon by the House Military
Committee Saturday, are in brief as follows:-
Consolidation of the quartermaster's, commits
sary and pay departments into one department,
to be called the Department of Supply
Second, consolidate the ordnance and artillery
into one corps, Third, reduce the number of
infantry regiments from forty five to thirty.
Fourth, no more brigadier generals of the line
to be appointed beyond the present number,
eight; thus abolshing the two commissions
now vacant. Fifth, no more brigadiers to be
appointed on the staff except the chief of the
Supply Department. Sixth, abolish the regi-
mental commissary of subsistence for cavalry.
Seventh, reduce the number of commissioned
officers in each regiment. Eighth, abolish
bands. Ninth, the term of enlistment to be
hve years. Tenth, the mode of reduction to
be by absorption; that is, in military phrase,
by casualty, expiration of terms of enlistment,
discharge, death, disability, dismissal, resigna-
ton, &c. Eleventh, all the staff departments
to be reduced in the number of their officers.

REMARKABLE GROWTH OF CHIcAGo.-The
Chicago Post, commenting ON the boast of the
New York Herald that five hundred new
buildings, most of them dwelling houses, were
erected in New York during the past year,
says:
Why, bless your simple and confiding old
soul, Chicago, with its quarter of million
people, has TO show against your meagre five
hundred buildings, with a million of people at
the back Of them, four thousand four hundred
and ten buildings, erected and completed in
the year 1868, at a cost Of ten millions of dol
larsl Against your thirteen poor miles of wa
ter-pipe Chicago laid thirty. Against your
two stingy school houses Chicago built nine
educational palaces. Against your seven re-
luctant churches Chicago erected Twenty-Five,
besides enlarging and improving ten others
And SO on ad iy.fRitHm.
We can account for the tagging condition
of the religious interests of New York. That
a CITY which gives from fifty to one hundred
thousand Democratic majority, according to
eemand, should build but seven churches to
Chicago's twenty five, and, when estimated in
proportion to population, but one to our t,1eive,
is not to be wondered at; but when it comes to
erecting but five hundred buildings against
Chicago's four thousand five hundred, or,
when estimated in proportion to popula-
ton, but one to our Hirtv-sf1, there is food for
refiectionl About how long, at this rate, will
it take New York to descend to the grade of a
secOnd-class city? Will that sleepy and SUI
, perannuated old horn blower, the Herald, have
the goodness to answer?

ms opposition. According to the best informa-
OlOn' the Court of Rome is so elated by the
grand demonstrations in honor of the Pope that,
after mature consideration it has decided TO
listen to no proposals for a Il,odus eipendi with
Italy. The clerical party talk very confidently
OF retaklng the lost provinces and even the more
moderate declare they will be content with
nothing short of the restoration of Umbria
and the Marches.
The 16Sth annual meeting of the Society for
the Propagation of the Gospel was held on April
20 at st. James Hail. the Archbishop of Canier-
bury presiding. Among those present on the
platform were the Marquis of Salisbury Lord
Lawrence, the Archbishop of Armagh the Bishop
OF PETERBOROUGH, the Bishop of Derry, the Bishop
OF Colombo, Lord Lyttelton, etc. The report
stated that the general fund amounted to GT6, 784
Us. Id; appropriated funds, G12, 1903 Ss 3D.. and
special funds, Cd, 23S 19s 3D. making a total of
tlO3, ,l32. The society appeals to its friends for
sum OF El4,O to enable it to extend its ope-
rations.
AT meeting of the Church Pastoral Aid
Society in Exeter on April 20, the Dean of
Exeter said that the average cereal production
OF England was l50000,000 quarters, and the
tenth OF that would be 15,000,000 But what
was the income of the Church from that's Source {?
Only 2,9OOO00 or the tenth of a tenth. Perhaps
those gentlemen who had been voting for recent
measures for the disestablishment and disendow-
ment of the Church would tell them where the
difference had gone. 1t had gone into the
pockets of those noble dukes, earls, and mar
quises and not to the clergy. Let them Ia Ike
heed that the same hand that was dealing out
injustice to Ireland did not deal out retributive
Justice to those who had appropriated the pro-
perty of the Church. They had set a stone
rolling which might crush them. A Samson had
taken hold OF the two pillars of the temple, and
with his mighty arms was drawing them together,
as it were, to make sport for the Phlistines; let
them take care that they were not involved in
the common destruction.
