DEATH OF DISTINGUISHED MEN.-Hon.
Robert j, Walker died at Washington on

ability, especially in financial questions.
He was most prominent advocate of
Texas annexation the subtreasury sys-
tom; was Secretary Of the Treasury du.
ring Folks administration, and always q
conservative Union man. Ho was a
writer of great originality and power.
Amos Kendall died at Washington on
tho 18th inst. Ho was man of fno in
telect and an old Jackson democrat ;
once distinguished as an Editor, and in
time of Gen. Jaekson's administration he
was Postmaster General, and was very
able in that office. He has long led re-
tired life in the city of Washington, and
had devoted himself to more quiet pursuit
than politics for many years past. He
was quite q religious man in the latter
years OF bis lite, devoted to the interest
of Sunday schools, and q liberal giver to
charitable objects. 1t is said that ho gave
some years ago oDs hundred thousand

AGRICULTURE.
I recommend to your favorable consid-
Grafton the claims of the Agricultural
Bureau for liberal appropriations. In a
country 80 diversified in climate and soil,
as ours, and with population so largely
dependent upon agriculture, the benefits
that. can be conferred by properly foster
ing this Bureau are incalculable.
SUPREME COURT.
I desire respectfully to call the atten-
ton of Congress to the inadequate sala-
ries of number of the most important
officers of tho Government. In this mes
sage will not enumerate them, but will
specify only the Justices OF the Supreme
Court. No change has been made in their
salaries for fifteen years. Within that
time the labors of the Court have largely
increased, and tho expenses of living have
at least doubled during the same time.
Congress has twice found it necessary to
increase largely the compensation of its
own members, and the duty it owes to
another department of the Government
deservee and will undoubtedly receive due
consideration.

in this message which might with proprie-
ty be introduced, but abstain, believing
that your patriotism and craftsmanship
will suggest the topics and the legislation
most conducive 10 the interests of the
whole people. On my part, | promise a
rigid adherence to tho laws and their
strict enforcement.

The Township Question.

Mr.. Frank Arnim, Chairman Of the
Conference of County Commissioners, has
presented memorial to tho Legislature,
Urging the postpohement for ten years, of
the organization of the townships. 1t is
to be hoped, says the Columbia Phenir.
that the suggestion will be needed. Inas.
much as this Recommendation comes froin
the County Commissioners themselves,
and many Of them members of the party
in power, the inapplicability of the town
ship system TO the present condition OF the
State must indeed stand out in bold relief.
The fact of the matter is, the adoption of
the bill by the Legislature was an Instance
of legislative folly. 1t was a Northern
system, totally unsuited to this State, and
entailing heavy and entirely unnecessary
burdens upon the taxpayers. Let Mr.
Arnim's memorial be entertained. The
system is nuisance and an outrage upon
sensible legislation. The memorial says:
"rhe County Commissioners of the sew
eral counties have had their attention call
ed by the citizens to the provisions of the
Act, and have been invited to confer about
the objections that have been trgedat@it.
The opinion entertained is, that the inn
poyerished condition of the State,o at the
present time, renders it impossible for the
people to pay the additional taxes which
the requirement under this Act provide
for, and in view of this opinion .it:was
deemed worthy of the attention and con.
sideration of the Conference of County
Commissioners of the State, In the proper
discharge of their duties, to the people Of
the several counties, to represent to the
Legislature the necessity ofpostponihg the
organizations of townships for q period Of
ten years at least, at. the expiration of
which it is to be hoped that the State will
be IN prosperous condition.
"The counties Of the State, laid out as
the law directs, would be sub. divided into
townships of not less than tbirty'six and
not more than hundred squire miles in
extent. The State contains 37,O0osquare
miles. Let us suppose we divide the Stste
into townships of fifty sqaare miles .each,
It would contain TAO townships, which vii!
require, according to the Act, seven officers
in each township. The law allows Sl.b0
per diem for each officer. Say, for argu-
inent, that these officers are on duty $50
days, at s1.50 per day (; per annum it would
amount to Sl,575. If one township
amounts to sl,575, 74o townships would
amount, per annim, to Sl,l65,5oo. We
have no doubt but most of these officers
would be on duty for the greater part Sof
the year. You will perteive by these fig
ures the enormous expense this township
bill wilt incur. This is only paying the
salaries of officers, whose pay will be the
small sum of sl.5o per day, for which no
competent man, if he honestly discharges
his duty, would be willing to give his ser
vices"
