Here is something for the platform Of the
next Female" Convention. 1t must be true
for it is in all the newspapers. Bismarck
says that he always intrusts difficult commits
"sons to men with spirited and ambitious
wives" When Bismarck said it, or whom
he said it to, we grieve that we are not
informed. The ill-natured might aver that men
with spirited wives" are frequently in that
desperate state which makes the most hazard
Gus enterprise welcome: their lives having few
charms, and their homes none at all. We do
not deny that public men may be caudled into
doing wise things, or avoiding foolish ones; but
it is equally true that there have been num-
berless distinguished male characters whose
wives cut no figure in history at all. Solomon
was a wise character, but who knows anything

+ SURPLUS or FOOD.

That we are to have, this year, n harvest Of
uncommon abundance, is conceded on all hands.
The low temperature of the Spring months
was highly favorable for wheat, and though
corn grew slowly, still, now that the heat of
Summer has come, it is well prepared for n
rapid growth. The breadth, not only of
this, but of the small grains, is repre-
sented as larger in proportion to the popula-
ton than ever was spread beneath the Ameri-
can skies. In addition, fruit and vegetables Of
all kinds are also in full supply. The great
staple Of the South, and of the world Cotton,
the King, is likely to be in excess of last years
production; and we do not hesitate to
prophesy that the yield will not be less than
5000 900 bales.
1t is true that casualties 10y storms and foods,
in some sections, and exhausted soils in others,
and ravages of insects, in still Others, mock the
husbandman's hopes, but the percentage to be
substracted from the grand total cannot be
large and unless some event, not likely now
to occur, but Of course impossible TO avert,
shall befall, the amount of human food pro-
duced the present year is likely to be greater
per capita, not only through tile Interior but
in all densely populated lregions, than it has
ever been among any civilized people. Abund-
ance is supposed to signify cheapness and with
the prospect of cheap bread Immediately before
us, there are various speculatiOns as to what
will be the result with respect to prices of
labor, of gold, and of manufactured products.
On one hand, we are told that n plethora in
food portends stagnatiOn in business and in
all kinds of industry; that prices and relative
values will be unsettled and general confusion
and uncertainty prevail. Upon agricultural
prosperity is founded the prosperity of every
other interest; hence, when standard of
values of this leading pursuit is depressed, q
corresponding depression is felt elsewhere ;
but not until agriculture has suffered, and not
until it is too late to be compensated for by
we'll known laws. Agricultural distress always
reacts upon other interests and it is predicted
that the final result will be financial disorgan-
ization and general ruin of business n condition
defined by the term "cTisis," such as was
witnessed on the several occasions within the
the memory of all men, when crops were very
abundant and prices low. On the other hand,
we are told that what was true when our pop,
ulaton was only 25,O000O0, when our manu-
features were limited, and when our importa-
ton Of articles of prime necessity was large
cannot be true now that our population is
37,0O0,000, that our manufactures are increased
immensely and springing up on many beside
New-Engand streams, now that we have
not only ceased to import many articles
of necessity, but are so skilled and so pow
erful by means Of machinery that we have
become exporters in this respect, and can defy
competition. With such new conditions we are
assured that relatively we are prepared to pay
for a larger amount of food than formerly, and
that though prices may decline they caHaOt

The Legislature of New Hampshire has passed
o bill allowing nine per cent. or any less rate
of interest, by special contract The bill is to
60 to the voters for approval or disapproval at
the next election. 1t is not easy to see why
nine per cent" should have been fixed as the
maximum to be allowed by Especial contract"
If the parties are to be allowed to contract at
all, why should not the amount be left to their
own discretion, and to their exclusive knowl-
edge of the necessities upon one side and the
ability to lend without inconvenience on the
otherf If six or seven per cent. is arbitrary,
nine is no less so; and any limit whatever takes
money out of the rank of a commodity to be-
bought or sold in market overt. No legislature
would think of passing statute irrevocably
fixing the price of wheat or coal. Money, it
may be said, is different matter. Very well,
if this be so, the question arises whether six
or seven per cent. is not about as much any
ordinary business can afford to pay. If law
makers are to stop anywhere why not stop
thereP or why stop at nineq If hard-up men
are to be protected why not fix the rate at I'VE

him. strikes us as somewhat remarkable. He's
of the opjnion that " a Government which would
"preserve its self-respect ought not to yield 10

half n century. has had no Government which
did not "yield to external pressure" Inc

"pressureD of the Directory; the Directory 10
"the pressure" of Bonaparte; the first En-
peror to "the pressure of the Allies; the sec
ond Revolution to "the pressure" OF the Or-
leanists. and the third TO "the pressure otLonIs
Napoleon's com Fetdt. Why, it has been pres
sure, pressure; nothing but pressure! And now
we are serenely told by His Sacred Majesty
that the days of "pressure" are over-there Is
no need of pressure" any more, even for the
sake of French liberty.
II seems to us that all opposition to an auto
cratic government must take the form OF ana
must be felt as "pressure." Democracy, FESTIVE
under the limitations of sef-seeking lmpe-
rialism, naturally presses forward TO the things
which are before. The theory of His Majesty
seems to be that whatever the people earnestly

cause e g asked Tor loudly and earnestly:
This is theory for to-day nothing permanent
