Wheat.

The Chicago Tribune assigns
IreasonsfOr arguing that the price Of
wheat will be much lower during
the coming year. 1t concludes its
article by saying:
The best thing that holders can
do is to prepare to look their loss
es in the face as gracefully as may
be, and decide to let go, lest the
chance of selling escape them.
The supply is too abundant to adj
NIT of a scarcity, and sellers to the
great world of consumers are too
numerous to admit of the holders
being able to dictate in the matter
of prices.

Tenure-ofOmce Law.

The repeal of the Tenure-of Of
flee Law still hangs fire in the Uni
ted States Senate. This law, as
our readers are aware, was q par
tlsan manoeuvre of Congress to
prevent President Johnson from
dismissing ofice-holders without
the consent Of the Senate, and it
now effectually keeps in power and
place thousands of VIGOROUSLY cor
rupt and dishonest public ser
wants whom the President would
remove as despoilers of the reve-
nue.. But the Senate is 10th to
surrender the power it has pur-
Joined from the executive. 1t is
willing to suspend the law for a
few months, until Grant substi-
tutes It's own appointees for John
sons, but it can induce its selfish
ness to go NO further. Grant is
naturally indignant at this effort
Iof the Senate to Johnsonise him
for It's own benefit, and will make
no removals except for palpable
cause until his hands are liberated.
The Senate will be forced to accede
to his wish very soon, therefore, OIL
else lose every chance of seeing its
private friends rewarded with pub.
lie Office, a subject much dearer
to its sordid heart than any view
of national honor or of the gen.
eral welfare.

British army, by young Chaloner

he fred a shot at him, saying at

Homes.

1t has been the custom OF this
town, and we suppose it is so in all
the towns and cities of this coun-
try, for large proportion Of the
citizens to live In rented houses.
From one year to another they
know not that they shall occupy
the same house. The house may
change owners, and the new owner
may have different designs from
the former; the old proprietor may
want such a rent that the renter
cannot pay it; or the renter him
self may want to change for some
more desirable location. Thus it
is year after year, a constant
change is going on, and we know
not where we will find our friends
next year, nor who will be our
neighbors.
The children have no dear cher
ished memories of the old home
stead, and its associations-noth-
ing but the changing scenes Of
many homes. But it is more es-
pecially unjust and hardship on
the ladies. They can have none
of those little conveniences and
home comforts SO necessary to
their happiness. It is a rented
house and nothing can be done.
Moreover there is scarcely a lady
that would not plant out flowers
and beautify her home, if she knew
it was a home. Some do this even
at rented places. What encour-
agement is there to plant out flow
ers and beautify a place, that must
soon be left for others to enjoy
Thus under the discouragements
and hardships of anumber of years,
the ladies begin to lose tkeir
taste and enjoyment of the beau
tiful, and their desire for home
comforts; and the children having
no "local habitation," acquire a
rowing, unsettled disposition, that
will probably ruin their usefulness
in after life. And who is at fault
for this state of things? Most
generally, it must be the husband
and father. The mother and chill
dren cannot obtain the lot and
build the house, or buy the lot al
ready improved. This must be
done by the head Of the family
And now a word to him.
In the first place, you are pay
ing out considerable portion OF |
your earnings in rent, when in
few years it might pay for small
Mace. We notice some of our citi-
zens have bought vacant lots and
gradually improved them, till they
had good homes. Having place
of their own, they snake every
lick count" in providing home
and It's comforts. No doubt, your
"better half" would assist you in
doing these things. The ladies
will endure many discomforts in
order to have place they can call
their own. We are astonished to
see our industrious citizens, me-
chanics and others, spending every
few years what would provide :
them a permanent home. And
yet they know that upon this
course they will never reach such v
a point; that if they expect to own y
a home they must make the ven :
ture, and the sooner the better =
Besides such a course would mutu-
ally assist all that took it, and be
an essential improvement to our n
own. We hope soon to see more d
homes" which are real permanent b,
improvements, going up III our te

Free Railroad Passes.

FREE Railroad Passes.
The Pulaski Citizen copies our
article, "Free Railroad Passes"
and adds the following comments.
We thank the Citizen for its cour-
teouscorrectiOn. Wesupposed the
''pass" to be complimentary, having
no thought that it was part Of a
bargain. We supposed the Revieeo
was treated as we were by the
Fayetteville, Mulberry and Lynch
burng Turnpike Company. The
directors Of that Road, by unani-
NOUS vote, placed the editor of
/! the OBSERVER on the free list
We knew nothing of the move
ment until notified of its being
done. The act was attributable
solely to personal friendship and
a recognition of the power of the
press; and the Board received our
warmest acknowledgements and
best wishes. The Citizen says:
"The above article, though found
ed upon wrong impression, takes
very sensible view of the rela-
tons that should exist between
the press and the railroads. The
OBSERVER, however, is mistaken
as to the terms upon which the
Reciea0 received its compliment
tary" pass. There was manifest
ed no liberal recognition of the
ReUies0's claims upon the railroad
for past services voluntarily rem
dered, and the editor of that pa
per did compromise his indepen-
dence" in our opinion, by accept
ing it upon the conditions offered
by the company. A pass was
rendered to the editor of this
paper upon the same conditions,
and it was promptly returned to
President Sloss, with a respectful
protestagainst the compromising
terms offered and the illiberal spirit
manifested by them. By accept
| ing this pass the Reoie,o not only
pledged itself to keep standing at
the head of its local column the
schedule of arrivals and depart
ures, which, though this schedule
takes up a portion of the most
valuable space in local paper, is
not either compromising to the
editor or an unreasonable demand
upon his columns, unaccompanied
by other conditions; but he also
compromise" his right to charge
therailroad company for legitimate
advertising. This is not only
compromising the independence
of the press, but bartering away
its rights, and paying double price
for pass, which the editor is re-
ally entitled to as a "complimen.
tary" recognition of his services.
The arrivals and departures of
trains are kept standing at the
head of our local columns as
matter of convenience to our
readers and the travelling public
and we do not ask or desire pay for
it. Neither do we ask or expect
pay for any other courtesies that
have been extended to the rail-
road by the Citizen, but we must
be permitted to express the opin-
ion that the Board of Directors
has not dealt literally with the
press in this matter"
