H9~The members of the Grand
Army of the Republic have memo
riaiized Congress to make soldiers
pensions payable through the post
Office. The object Of giving pensions
IL to assist the needy soldier. and not
70 provide y business for pension
agents. All the soldier pays the
agent is so much deducted from
government bounty. Why should
not the government do its business
directly with the soldier, and save
him the fee demanded by the agent ?
Common sense and common justice
demand that it should. We hope
tho petition of the Grand Army of
the Republic will be granted, and a
bill passed which will enable the
soldier to go to the post office in his
neighborhood, where he is well
known, and draw the full amount of
his pension, without the discount of
an agents fee. If the government
aims to help the soldier, let it help
him directly if it wants to help the
class known as pension agents, let it
do SO diroctly-and not give to the
soldier and compel him to divide
with the agent.

Personal Attacks against Senator Halle.
ton.

The friends of Senator Hazelton
do not think it part of their business
to write abusive, malicious personal
articles against other candidates for
Congress. The Platteville Witness
and the Mineral Point Tribune are
offering large inducements to all
scribblers to write scurriIous articles
against the Senator. They are as
anxious to have him cursed as old
Balak was to have Israel "cursed."
Be assured, gentlemen, you cannot
snuff out the "pertinacious candi-
date" and his supporters by any
such course. He and his friends,
should he fail, will support the fortu-
nate nominee with all their influence.
But the Tribune aud Witness are pre-
pairing the public mind for an ex-
tensivo "bolt" if Hazelton should be
nominated. We shall not open our
columns to the personal and chronic
enemies Of either of the candidates
whose names have been announced
to the public; we shall cordially sup
port the nominee, and not attempt
in advance to prejudice the public
mind to such al extent as to pro-
duce a rupture in the party, provid-
ed candidate, obnoxious to us, if
there are such, should be the choice
Of the convention.
The Tribune correspondent tells US
that Hazelton cannot carry the Re-
publican party in some parts of the
district. Well, who intends to bolt
Who intends to come into the con-
vontion with his candidate, take all
the chances in his own favor, but to
bolt if some other is nominated? If
there is q faction that will rebel if
Hazelton is nominated, are they to
calculate on the support of his
friends, if their candidate is nominal
ed?
The Tribune correspondent seems
to speak as the champion of all the
other candidates. Do they require
the gibbeting Of Senator Hazelton ?
Towards them he entertains no hos
tility. In fair rivalry, if either Of
these gentlemen should be nominal.
ed we doubt not the Senator would
be his most active and able support.
or, and we are satisfied that every
honorable man in the District will
denounce this attempt to ipjure an
able and powerful advocate of Re-
publican principles, by calling upon
personal enemies to testify against
him. The very spirit shown in the
article published in the Mineral
Point Tribune would satisfy anyone
that it is the ranting of a vindictivc,
private, personal enemy.

STATE OF WISCONSIN, County of Grant-ss.
The Curculio-How to Exterminste
Them-Important Discoveryto
Fruit Growers.

We learn from the st. Joseph,
Mich, Herald that Hon. John Whit
lesey, Mr.. Ransom, and other leading
fruit-growers of that region, have
just discovered way by which cur
culio may be destroyed in almost I'M
limited numbers. The Herald states
that on the morning of the 10th inst.
Mr.. Whittlesey called at that office,
and stated that on the 14th inst. he
killed 3,7l5 curculio about the roots
of 200 trees, and on the 18th, in four
hours, on the same trees, he killed l.
566. Mr.. Whittlesey also stated that
Mr.. Ransom, Mr.. Bonelle and him
self, in five hours, had killed upward
of 5000, in q portion Of three small
orchards. The manner OF doing the
work is as follows: Put the orchard
in the best order level down the
soil about the root of every tree.
and smooth circle for diameter of
two~and a-haif feet from the tree ae o
centre. Have the ground very clean
around the base of the tree. DO not
leave single hole close to the tree.
Leave no place where the curculio
can hide, except under the shelter
you provide for them. Then put
close to the tree, and close TO the
ground--about four pieces to the
tree-either chip, piece of bark,
or board, or iath, or rag, or corn cob,
or leather, or anything else, for
covert. The curculio will conceal
themselves under this shelter, and
may be destroyed by thousands. Go
around every day, turn over each
chip, and kill every curculio. They
will generally adhere to tho chip
but may often be- found on the
ground under the chip.
Mr.. William B. Ransom has made
the curculio and it's habits q study
for many years. Last year, when
hunting for the little turks, he dis
covered that they al! dropped within
two or three feet of the trunk of the
peach tree, and sheltered themselves
on the trunk, in the holes near the
base, and the underside of the princ-
pal limbs.
Some idea OF tho quantity of curcu-
Ito which will gather on single tree
may be understood from the follow
ing facts: Mr.. Ransom says that on
the l4th he took %, on the 18th 65,
and on the 10th, 60. OF this number
Al were taken in cluster under chip,
two by three inches. He gives the
following facts in regard to the hab-
it's Of the curculio . In the fall they
seek a warm and safe shelter to hib-
ornate. This is either tho ground,
or leaves, stumps, logs, old fences,
woods and other congenial places of
concealment. The first warm day in
spring that starts vegetable life calls
the curculio forth, and it proceeds to
its feeding and breeding ground
They walk very fast, and they fly
and feed generally at night, eating
the young and tender leaves. They
crawl on cold days and nights, and
hide under the shelter of tho trunk of
the tree, waiting to feed when the
night becomes sufficiently warm
The curculio uses the green peach on
ly to hold its egg. 1t sometimes
eats the ripe peach, also blackberries,
ounces and other fruits.

The EXHIBITORS AT THE FAIR
On account of the fact that the names
of the exhibitors at the Agricultural
Fair were not attached to the articles
exhibited, it is difficult to ascertain
them, and hence the omission in the
notices that have appeared in the
JOURNAL. There are some articles,
however, whose exhibitors names
were learned, and among those de-
serving especial mention are the pen
and ink sketches, By E. Morgan,
which are wonderfully like engrav-
ings; among them. Madonna and
Child, Squall on Lake Michigan,
Scene on the Thames. and others;
and when it is known that Mr.. Nor
gan is an amateur. who works at hard
labor daily and executes the drawings
during his leisure hours at night,
their comparative merits are much
enhanced.
Among other articles in Floral
Hall, where the above articles were
displayed, was some fine clothing,
exhibited by Strouss & Bros. which.
although not properly floral, may be
reckoned among the productions Of
the fine art.
The samples Of ornamental pen
manship, by Mr.. Wesley. are also
we'll worthy of mention. although he
is a professional, from whom merit
m: int be expected.
The only exhibitor of agricultural
machinery. whose name was learned,
is Mr.. Fl. o. Babcock. who had q
very respectable array on exhibition.
if Ford's tobacco press is not TO be
included in the list as an agricultural
machine.
In Mechanical Hall. Messrs. j. Fl.
Rocker & Co., John Scantlin, l..
Pierson aud Thos. Scantlin & Son,
each exhibited stoves aad tinware In
good assortment, Messrs. Scantlin
& Son having their patent radiator,
and newly patented refrigerator. in
addition to their other articles. Col.
P. Hornbrook's array of Fairbank' s
scales, aud Messrs. Lilly & Cos as
sortment of medical preparations.
also made a good show. and George
Thornhill's fine buggy harness, the
only one exhibited, should not have
been alone with the number of manu-
facturers in that line that Evansville
boasts of.
As whole, the exhibition was not
one to be proud of. for from among
the many large furniture factories
that Evansville boasts of. there was
not as much of display in that line
as at the Catholic Fair. which is not
competitive exhibition.
1t seems as if Evansville manuFac-
turers, and the producers of the vi
oinity are so prosperous. and receive
such vast patronage from abroad
that they do not care whether people
at home know their capacities for
producing meritorious goods or not.
It is perhaps happy state of affairs
for business now, but II makes it a
problem whether it is not as we'll to
discontinue the fairs.

RAILROAD MATTERS. - General
Boyle, President of the Evansville,

in the city, and reports that ten miles
north from Hopkinsville, is now
ready for the track, which is being
laid. They have purchased iron suf-
icient for the whole read, which will
be here by the time the rest of the
grading is ready for it. The engineer
of the road reports eighty-nine per
cent. of the grading now ready for the
iron, and the road will be finished
in December, without a doubt.
Col. Patterson, of the Seymour
Road. is in the city. and reports the
survey on his road progressing finely,
an additional corps of engineers hav-

found from the Springs over the Sum-
nit, and from Lost River to the Pa
toka, on which there will be one
thousand foot tunnel through sand
stone.
The heaviest grade they have yet to
make is fifty miles. He feels very
