Crawford County Agricultural Society

We arc glad to see the initiatoy steps
taken to organize a County Agricultural
Society; there is no better evidence OF
the healthy prosperity Of the county than
the desire Of the farmers to increase their
stock of knowledge as to the best means
Of cultivating and improving their lands,
and the best methods Of raising and i'm
proving stock. All experience proves
that personal interchange Of views, and
comparison Of methods in accomplish
ing q certain end, has always been OF
great benefit to those engaged in any
calling. Thereiis no occupation follow
ed by men that is so important to soeIe-
ty as farming,-the entire commercial
interests of our people depend upon our
agriculture When the means OF life are
abundant times generally are easy as the
saving is, but when food is scarce hard
times and suffering are the lot Of large
majority Of the people. In view Of these
facts, let every man that cultivates the
soil encourage this enterprise, and con
tribute as freely OF his time and means
as the success of the society may demand,
it will be the best paying investment you
ever made. While the farmer is probably
most interested, the merchant and me
chanic are scarcely less so, for upon the
prosperity Of the farmer depend the pros,
psrity Of the merchant and mechanic
Don't think because you are not cultiyat
ing the soil, that you have no interest ii
the matter, the farmer can live much bet
ter without you, than you can without
the farmer. Therefore we ask every mar
in the community to labor for the success
of this association as involving the pc
cuniary interest Of every individual in it
Not being acquainted with the precise
views ofthe gentlemen having the matte
in charge, we would respectfully sugges
that the association include Agriculture
Horticulture, Pomology and Mechanic a
subjects being almost inseperably con
nected
Let there be general attendance o
the citizens at tho adjourned meeting o

came Off on that day. The Frontiers" "
were received at the boat by a committee
of the Van Buren, Club and escorted with
the band through several of our streets
thence to the Planters Hotel where they
were the guests Of the Clippers" After
dinner, proceeded by the band, both
clubs were escorted to the grounds.
The Frontiers by their courteous
and gentlemanly department while with
us, won the admiration Of all our citizens
The greatest harmony existed through
out, and the " Clippers" although van
quished in fair trial, spared no effort to
make the visit Of the victorious club
agreeable and pleasant.
We should say in this connection that
the members Of the Van Buren, Club with
the exception of one or two were but
amateurs, having been organized but a
short time and had had but very little
practice II the Frontiers" do not hear
from the Clippers" again, we are very
much mistaken in the material compos-

Hon. HENRY ]. RAYMOND, editor Of the New York
Times, in the prime of manhosd, on the morning
of the 18th instant, of apople1y. He was writer
Of distinguished ability and force, and had served
in Congress with distinction. He was the author
of the address to the people of the United States,
adopted by tho Philadelphia Convention Of 1856.
AS moderate Republican, he sustained the psin-
ciples Of his party, bat had little sympathy with
the extreme views enuuciated by many of its
members. Mr. RAYMOND was an elegant and for
chile writer, and perfectly at home journalist.
His loss to the newspaper world is serious one.

IMPORTANT LEGAL pEc1s1oN.

The Supreme Court of Georgia has rendered q
decision that the negro is eligible to of6ce-Judges
Brown and Mccoy maintaining this proposition,
and Judge Warner dissenting freua 1t.
Judge Mccoy held that the State was without
civil government before the action of the conven-
ton that made the present constitution that
blacks and whites participated in getting up the
convention and framing the constitution, and it
was against its spirit to exclude either black or
white from the privileges unless expressly prohib
tied.
Judge Brown claimed that the fourteenth
amsndmen. forbds anybody being deprived Of the
privileges; and as the code gives citizens the
right to hold Office, and the constitution makes the
negro o citizen, and does not forbid him to hold
office, it did not intend to break that fourteenth
amendment and deprive tie negro of his rights.
Judge Warner held that the negro was new
political creature in the body polite; that he
must hold Office by special enactment; that the
code which defined the powers Of citizens was
enacted before the negro became citizen, and,
therefore did not apply to him that he did not
have the right to hold Office under the common
law nor by statute since he was made citizen,
but that the convention voted down the PROPOSE
ton to make him eligible to Office, and that until
he is especially authorized TO hold Office he is in
eligible.

REPUBLICANS Oh DEspoT1s.

The New York Tribune says: s.Our Government
must be republican or despotic, and that rule
based on the prescription of full .hird of the
adult males-this third comprising tuo-thirds of
the property, with very large share of the natu-
raj ability, experience and intelligence, which are
presumed to fit men for responsible participation
in politics-is questionably republican. 1t may
do-nay, it muslin the immediate presence Of q
formidable rebellion; it cannot be maintained in
definitely after that rebellion has thrown down
its arms. Our Southern Republicans are quite
free in telling US what they must have, and hsw
impossible it is that they should live under rebel
rules we tell them, in turn, that it is impossible
that We should perpetuate rule over the South,
in which the people of the South, or any cousider
rable share Of them, are denied voice. If we
should attempt to do it, We should simply sacri-
fee our ascendancy in the North, and they can
judge where this would leave the Republicans of
the South We can do and dare much here for
equal human rights. We are shorn Sampson
whenever We shall undertake to argue and insist
that part of the Southern people ought to be
disfranchised and powerless evermore. We know
that We can maintain no such position, and we
are nowise inclined TO ettemp. it"

HOW TO REVIVE DROWNED PERSONS.

AS the bathing season has now begun, accidents
by drowning are likely to sometimes happen We
reprint from high scientific authority the follow
ing directions for the resusctaion of persons res
cued from drowning before life is entirely extinct
They may possibly prove useful in saving valuable
lives, and should be preserved or remembered:
/. Lay the drowned man at once fat on his
stomach. with his face to the ground, and folded
coat or bundle under his chest
q Place your hands fat between his shoulder
blades and make firm pressure, so as to squeeze the
air out of his chest; then turn the body slowly on
to one side and o little beyond. Replace him
quickly on his face. Count four, to mark four
seconds of time, and then repeat the process,
mcncing by squeezing the air cut of the chest
again.
g. Wet clothes should be removed and dry ones
substituted, each bystander contributing The
body to be rubbed dry briskly, and the face kept
from contact with the ground BY m assistant.
4. Do not squeeze air out the patients chest il
he is breathing, bat wait and watch, merely dry
ing the body and changing the clothing.
