Dear Sir-Moses III. Hussev Esq, OF North Ber-

He says the Phospha ate made dlffe IL his ops
Of one halt 1000 bushels worth (beng noted varie-
tie) 50 per ushel, amounting $120 as the return
from s. worth OF Super IhusepAate lie thinks
that $500 worth of stable manure would not have
brought so large CROP beside the difference in
cost of labor in applying It, Many ia about hel
have come to the same conclusion, and il the stand
ard OF yeur Phosphate is pit up, the consumption
will increase beyond calculation Our advice to you
is, make the best Phosphate that you can, and there
will be no laos of buyers; but woe to the manutac-
turer who sends out worthless article.

Senator Chandler of Michigan made a

days since and seriously advocated the
foreible seizure of Canada, as an offset
for our claims against Great Britain It
dou btless looks to the Michiganders as
if it would be fine thing to have the
Dominion annexed to the United States,
and probably it might be pecuniarily BEN
eGcial to localities along the line. But to
us there seem to be numerous and i'm
portant objections to annexing peo-
pie like the Canadians, who have no
sympathy with our democratic ideas and
institutions and In many cases are bitterly
hostile to them. With the average Can
adian, the veneration for rank and caste
is bred into his very bones l.; to be able to
trace his lineage back to some heraldie
name would be his proudest boast; the
prospect of winning title in the future
would be scarcely less dear to him than
that of gaining heaven. He neither I'M
derstands nor admires our democratic

settled lands. They have uniformly work.

If the territory annexed should contain
5000, 900 inhabitants, the most of whom
were opposed to the project. IF annexa-
ton should be accomplished under such
circumstances, the result would simply
be that our national strength would be
impaired through the introduction of a
discordant element. By the time we
need the forests and mines and vacant
lands of Canada, having exhausted or oc-
cupied our own, doubtless the public SEN
timent there will have become so changed
that annexation will be mutually desired
and harmony will result instead of dissat-
lsiaction and anarchy.

The PRESIDENTS FRIENps.-One or
two of the journals raise a great clamor
about the President appointing personal
friends to office, as though that was an un-
heard of thing in American politics. If a
President finds, among the men personally
and Familiarity known to him, some who
are capable of filing with ability public
posts, he is fortunate man, and does
we'll to appoint them. He is responsible
for the conduct of his subordinates, and if
he can get men whom be knows to be
capable and honest to accept subordinate
places, he will be only the more certain
that the country will be served
1t is odd that nobody has COMPLAINED
yet that the persons appointed by Gen.
Grant are incapable Or Of improper char
aeter, but only that they are Grant 5
friends. Is it crime, then, to have
known the President
The fact Is that Gen. Grant has sppiut.
ed fewer of his personal friends to office
than any of his recent predecessors but
he has done what was done openly he
has concealed nothing. He might very
easily have slipped in the name of a rela
tive or friend among "batch' of ap.
polntments, and thus avoided notice
But he has not chosen to hide anything

WAR RUMORs.

On the 7th of this month q Spanish
frigate boarded the American schooner,
Mary Lowell, when about ten leagues
distant from the coast of Cuba, and forci-
bly, took off two passengers-Cubans
carried them to Havana, where they were
imprisoned. No'grosser insult could have
been offered to our flag than this wanton
outrage. Secretary Fish has notified the
Spanish Government that, unless an i'm
mediate apology is made, war will be de-
clared by our Government. As there has
been much bad feeling between the two
nations, it is considered that there is no
little danger of hostilities breaking out.
Of course, in case Of war, Cuba would be
the first point of attack for our forces,
and, anticipating this, it is said England
and France have entered into an agreement
to declare war against our Government in
case we seize Cuba The i'll feeling be-
tween this country and England adds
strength to the rumor. Therefore, taking
it all around, the prospects OF continued
peace are decidedly precarious.
War is at all times great evil, and
only to be chosen when an opposite course
would lead to still greater evil espe.
cially is this true in our present cir cum
stances. But we believe that there is such
deep feeling of resentment among GU,
people against England for the course ST.,
pursued towards US during ur late war,
that an opportunity to in1ict merited
punishment upon her would be gladly en-.
braced by them. When we remember how
our boys were met everywhere through
the s outh by British bullets, shot with
British powder from British guns in the
hands of rebels clad in British garments
and think Of all the horrors of that war
OF the long years of anxiety and misery
Of our decimated armies and desolated
homes, of the damage to our national
prosperity and to all our ind ustrial
occupations, and remember that all these
fearful injuries were doubled and perhaps
trebled through this malicious British
influence, can we wonder that a sense of
the wrong is burned so deeply into our
nations very heart that the prospect of a
war with England is regarded with genu.
inc satisfaction? Reyerdy Johnscn's
speeches about the good will which ex-
lst in this country toward England are
simply frothy absurdities; the truly loyal
masses cherish no such sentiments and
never will until they feel that as full re.
paration as the case admits of, has been
made.

The APPOINTMENTS

No one need wonder if much dissatis.
faction is expressed at President Grants
distribution Of Government patronage.
There were on the average at least ten
applicants for every Office, each of whom
believed that he himself ought to have
1t. vi course nine had to be disappo;pt-
ed and they went away, each cursinc the
Administration much louder than the
successful one praised it. No doubt Pres;
dent Grant has made some mistakes IN
dispensing the Government patronage
but the perplexlties Of the business are
fearful Don Piatt illustrates them by
saying that one day he found President
Lincoln, who at first undertook to ez-
anime into the individual merits of each
case, with a pair Of scales weighing the
voluminous documents sent him by the
various applicants for an Ohio post Office,
with the determination to give the Office
to the person whose papers weighed the
heaviest.

s The task of an editor is difficult
enough. What is food to the politician
is poison to the philanthropist, and what
is calculated to please the gay or amuse
the frivolous, will offend the sober sense
and mature judgement of the man Of
thought and reflection. IF he says one
word more in favor of one candidate th an
another-or intimates that some one par.
tlcular man would fill an Office acceptably
to the people--ten chances to one the
next day some jealous rival will send him
a note ordering his paper stopped, or
blowing him up for being prejudiced.
The freedom of the press and editorial
independence are bully institutions.
The man who expects to keep out of hot
water and edit paper, is fit subject
for a lunatic asylum.
