The Friday Cabinet Meeting.

Despatch 10 The Evening Telegraph
WASHINGTON, July 2S.-Considerable Interest
is manifested in the Cabinet session TO be held on
Friday, to attend which the President comes
to Washington from Long Branch. 1t is under
stood that the subject of applying the test oath
TO the new Virginia Legislature as well as the
position the administration will assume with
reference to the Mississippi election, an other
business, will be fully considered, and divisions
of opinion in the Cabinet regarding these mat
ters will give more than ordinary Importance to
The sitting. There is no doubt but that Candy
has been instructed to do nothing about the
test oath in Virginia until after the Cabinet
comes to a determination as to whether the
newIy-eected members of the Legislature shall
be re quired to take the oath.
Happy Indians.
Despatch 10 the associated Press.
WASHINGTON, July 2S.-lnfomation has been

TO take of them, and express their intention to
live up to the treaty.

.rne Municipal Election.

1t Is seldom AN election makes so lit
tie stir as that for a Judge of the NUM-
cipal Court which takes place in this
city next Thursday week (27th). If it
were not for the printed announcement
of the only candidate but few would
have known there was to be an election.
1t seems to be an awkward arrange.
meut by which an election is thus held
for single officer. Why not elect a
Judge of the Municipal Court when the
rest of the municipal officers are chosen?
1t would save the expense of holding
one election, and would always insure
a full expression.
Thus far the only candidate heard of
Is the incumbent, Judge Good; and I'M
less somebody concludes to contest
with him, the Judge is very likely to
be elected. Without undertaking to
forecast the result, we hope somebody
will be found willing TO enter The lists.
II there is to be no opposition it is hard
ly worth while to go through the forms
of an election. But If we must have
an election, by all means let us have
two sides to it, so rs to make it inter-
esting. Ia there no ardent patriot
ready for the sacrifice? Don't all speak
at once.

BY HORACE GREELEY.

l live when l can in the country,
though most of my sleeping and nearly
all nay waking hours are given to work
which calls me to the city. My neigh
borg are mainly farmers, generally i'll
fair CIRCUMSTANCES, whose children are
fairly educated, or may be if they will.
/ regret 10 say that 81 majority OF them
prefer not 10 follow their fathers vOcA-
zion, but want TO live by trade, by
CtIice. or something else than farming
Aud the reHs0n, TO my mind, Is clear;
their education and their whole intel
igcluUI culture lead away from the
farm. Their school books contain
nothing calculated 10 make them love
agriculture or qualify them to excel in
IL; their nrc-slde reading is not of
chemistry, geology, and the related
sciences, but of knights and fairies,
trOubadOurs ana tournaments - in
short, all things to make them detest
farming as coarse, Pl"dding, hum
drum pursuit, fit only for inveterate
ounces and llliterRte Doors. I protest
against this as false, misleading, per-
niciOus, and demand an education and
a literature which shall win our farm
ers' sons to priZs and honor the calling
of their fathers,
a political economist has observed
that labor, unless used at the moment
OF production, is lost forever. In most
vOcntions, ii Is impossible to produce
beyond the days needs. The doctor
can only cure diseases as they manifest
themselves, the best lawyer cannot an
ticipate next years legal business; the
carpenter aud mason cannot build
houses except as they are wanted. The
farmer on the contrary, may grow corn
or cattle, flax, wool, or cotton in excess
of the current demand, and store it
against the time of need. Better still {:
he may drain, and subsoil, and tertil-
iZe: may pi"nt trees, and graft, and
prune, SO as to double his product in
the future by judicious expenditure
of effort in the present. If n hundred
thousand additional lawyers and doc
tors were let loose upon the cOmmuni-
ty, do not feel sure that the net re-
suit would be more justice and less
disease and death, while am quite sure
that the national wealth wound not be
increased thereby; but hundred thous-
and enlightened, efficient farmers adj
ded to those we already have could
hardly fail TO add one hundred millions
per annum to the property which shall
Da the heritage OF our children.
My country men! let us each do his
best to increase the proportion of use
full workers to pestilent idlers in the
community. Nay, more; let us try to
increase the proportion of producers to
exchAnHers or distributors o: wealth.
Fences. aud padlocks, and policemen,
and revenue officers may be necessities
of our present cOnditiOn-1 presume
them to be so; bnt we might have our
country so we'll fenced, and padlocked,
and poliCed that We should all starve
to death. There is no shadow of dam
ger thr; too few will seek to live by law,
physiC, trade, ETC., etc, while there is
great danger that trade and the profess
sions will be overcr DIVIDED, 10 the
neglect and detriment of productive
industry. Let us face the foe that
menancas our position. and defeat him
if we cln.-Heayth and Home.

Letting Them Down Easy.

A very funny little story is sent
out from Washington by the press
gang, viz: that great many OF the
appointees to consul ships having gone
on TO the State Department for instruc-
tions, have discovered that the places
don't suit them, aud have declined.
This is easily understood in connection
with little paragraph which appeared
few days ago, stating that many CT
these gentlemen, upon examination by
the Secretary, had been found utterly
unfit for their places, and that the
President had determined not to send
them abroad, bnt to supply their
places with better men. We venture
to suggest that il the list of those who
are found incompetent were compared
with list of thOs" who find the pos
sitlon of Consul is not as good AS they
thought it, there would be very re-
markable coincidence. We are curious
to learn whether the new Consul to
Melbourne Is we'll enough pleased with
his place to accept it.

The ratification of the Fifteenth
Amendment by the Legislature of In
diana was unexpected and has been the
result of unusual circumstances. The
Republicans having majority, there
was but one way in which the Demo-
Gratis could prevent Il ratification, and
that was by the revolutionary step OF
breaking up the Legislature. They did
this at the last session and tried to do
It this time, and were only prevented 10y
the shrewdness Of the RapublIcan man

stnte and Foreign MIntHterA.


state ami Foreign Ministers.
From the Washington correspond
ence of Fridays New York Post we
clip the following:
The regular Diplomatic Reception
held by the Secretary of State yester-
day was of an interesting character. In
the first place the so.Called alliance be-
tween England, France and Spain. was
the chief subject Ofconversation and of
general disbelief. 1t is understood that
the Representatives of the above named
powers have disclaimed in the name of
their governments any such intentions.
Then the Cuban matter came up and
Secretary Fish spoke freely of his set
tied determination to stop all sorts OF
hlibusterlng expeditions under what
ever name or shape they might try to
hide themselves, but he complained
also of the bloody and blind policy of
Spain towards Cuba, saying that With
such power the keeping OF neutrality
was not an easy thing.
On his part Senior Roberts, the Span.
Ish Minister, said that he saw yerv
we'll the game played by the Cubans
In the United States was to force Spain
to declare a blockade of the island, but
that his country would not be led 10
make this blunder. On the whole, a
peaceful spirit prevailed during the re-
ception.
