The New York HeraEI advocates the re-
peal OF the Tenure-of-O Office Law. 1t says
it is an insult to the people, to the House
of Represeu tatives, aud to the President,
30 bethus compelled, cap in hand. to bow
to the supremacy of the Senate. The Tunes
advocates the repeal because Il is bad
law, and deprives the Executive power of
all vigor, and renders needed reform in
the administration Of the Government
utterly impossible. Tee World says that
IL the substitute is adopted, Grant will be
outwitted and circumvented. The Iri-
bune says the substitute is not what il
would wish, but welcomes it as a relief to
the Administration.

In the JOURNAL Of Wednesday We
charged, plainly and squarely, that
not one Of the first ten items ia Mayor

both amount and date. The Gurisr
of yesterday fails to meet our denial

16," why can't he specify the notes,
by whom signed, and payable in what
banks. Surely on a question of so
much importance, where his reputa-
ton as a man of truth and integrity is
at stake, the Mayor ought not to neg
lect so important an allegation VIII
he sustain his statement, or will he
confess its falseness by continued
silence?

AGRIcULTURALLY UNCLAIMED. George Cor
nick is negro of agricultural turn OF
mind, and perhaps had been reading
Thompson's beautiful tribute to the beauty
and dignity of farming, or Mark Twain's
account of Beeeher's agricultural successes.
All that George needed to carry out his
Inspirations. were names, plough, horse
and some land, for George scorned the idea
of "hiring out" and wanted to play the
role of "Iadependent Farmer" The land
he though. he could get on the doctrine of
squatter Sovereignty, the horse would fol-
low him if led by rope, but the other
things must be had and them he resolved to
appropriate. The land would be useless
without the horse; the horse, needless ex-
pense without the plough; the plough
worthless without the names, so he re-
solved to begin at first principles and pro-
cure the names. He did so, but alas for
aspiring genius, the present age is sadly
practical. Ideas which may be worth
thousands to the brains that coined them
are common property wide the books and
papers of the day,) but names though far
less valuable must not be appropriated, and
George found himself on yesterday in the
presence of the Mayor and satellites who
regardless of his aspirations for rural indie,
pendenee, committed him for ninety days
to Jail.

THE SOUTHERN PLANTER AND FARmER.-
The October number o this sterling Agri-
cultural Journal comes to us freighted with
a store of information valuable to every
farmer and housekeeper. Its articles are
written for and especially adapted to the
use of Southern Agriculturists, and its
proprietors should receive the liberal pat
ronage of the parties whose interests it il
designed TO advance. If Southern men
would but patronize home publications and
home enterprise they could speedily achieve
a virtual Independence which they could
never have enjoyed, even if nominally free
while dependent upon foreign products for
every manufactured article of necessity or
luxury. Let US help one another, and in a
few years our prosperity would surprise
even ourselves.

THOUSANDS OF our American ladies
suffer and die every year from diseases
peculiar to their sex--in fact this form
of disease is the scourge of American
females. Very many OF them go on
from year to year without help end
without hope, because they know of no
remedy. But, fortunately, there is a
safe and reliable remedy, by the aid of
which hundreds have been restored to
perfect health. This great remedy is

WON'T TAKE lcR.--Although we have
warned the public that the Hotel DeCordy
is the most expensive and uncomfortable
in the city, and that they can fare far
better AID cheaper at the National, the
Atlantic or the Washington, there are some
obstinate individuals that won't listen to
reason and prefer to take lodgings in the
streets, which are the vestibule to the exs
pensiye hotel above alluded to, with the
certainty that they will be carried into the
house before morning. Three of these pers
sons came up to the hotel bar yesterday
morning to settle their reckonings, and tbs
proprietor mored by the pitiful appearance
oftwo of them made no charge for lodgs
ings, but charged the other sleeper SIS,
which would more than cover the expenses
of the trio.

i"WoN't STEAL A HoT STovE' is an ironi-
cal expression sometimes used, but will now
have to be discontinued, as contemporary
in Lynchburg says, two little rogues Sc,
GREETED themselves in the store of Mr.. John
Wall, yesterday, aud while no one was in
the room actually took to pieces the stove,
in which fire was burning, and carried
portion of it, heated as it was, to the house
of a dealer in old iron where they cold it.
The theft was soon discovered by Mr.. Wall,
and instituting search the part of the
stove stolen was found, yet warm, on the
scales of the iron dealer who had purchased
it. This theft beats any, by long shot,
that we have yet been called upon TO
record, and evidences in high degree the
:boldness and darin,s of our Lynehburg
rOgues.
OLD RAsoALs STILL AT WeRK.-That this
is an age of humbug is proved by the suco
cess of the lascals ald swindlers who
throughout the North are fattening on the
credulity of fools everywhere. The counH
terfeit money sale swindle has been exposed
time and again, until it seems as if every
man, woman and child in America should
be familiar with it and yet the country is
still being flooded with photographic manu-
script circulars addressed to individuals
whose addresses the swindlers have by
some means procured, and these circulars
4 are always headed "Strictly Confdential.'
We have now before us circular of this
kind from Barclay & Co., of New York,
q offering to sell for SIS, three hundred doh
lars worth of "exact limitations" of al
u. S.Treasury notes, eexeeuted by the
most skilful persons in the art outside The
State Prison, "where Barclay & Co., or The
parties they represent ought to be. Tit
Sfexact limitations" consist of coais
poorly executed photographs of U. $
Treasury notes, taken upon paper of very
inferior quality, and are worth just wha
they will bring at the junk shop and nj
more.
