The case Of e1-Speake1 Callicott OF Eew
York, now in the Albany Penitentiarv. has
attracted naturally much attention In all
pafa otahe country. It appeared On his
11al that he had como under some olliaa-
lions 10 certain parties for political cxpea-
ses. and there WIS an evident intention On
tic part of those who spent tho money for
him. to use his Office II they could. The
Charge ngainst him was that he consp;red
with them to defraud the government. bv
FLOWING whikEey to be removed from n
distiliery on receipt Of bond which Calf
cott had good reason to believe WIS worth
less. Upon this, ho IVES convicted
and sentenced. It now appears
tant, four months before his
trial, law was passed ropea1ing the Law
allowing whiskey to be removed on the
delivery Of satisfactory bond, and a1loy-
ing it to be removed only Oh the payment
OF the revenue Although the offence
charged against C:llicott Was crime when
committed, yet if the lnw making it such
was repealed before his conviction, his
offence was vacated, as it is impossible to
convict under law that has been repealed.
Callicott was convicted for conspirine to
tako worthless bond, under Law which
permitted him 10 take bond. Ahww WIS
passed fosbiatling the taking OF any bond.
Ibis, it hha been hold, certainly repeals
the fozno1 nrticle. And il tho former ar
ticle was repealed at tho time, of
callieotts trial, it is conteuded That
Luis crime no longer existed. Therefore,
tho court is asked to discharge him on q
hab<a* corpus. We infer, from tho tenor
Of tho argument, that the decision will be
in hs favor It is said that Callicott has
respectfully declined pardon from the
President, and that he has passed Lis time
in prison in the etudy Of the modern lan-
gusees and of German philosophy. The
moral difference between a release from
confinement on pardon, anl release
upon point 50 technical rs that above
presented, wonld require person well up
IN German philosophy to apprehcnd.

THE HERALD.
Farm Labor-The Average Wages in
Different Sections Of the Union.

From the Department of Agricul-
ture we are in receipt Of an advanced
summary of the latest information
in reference to the wages of farm
labor in the United States, from
which we CLEAN some statistics of
general interest. Thirty years ago
the average pay Of farm laborers in
the United States was estimated at
SO per month, including board. In
1866 the average SIG, inclusive of
board, which was estimated at about
5000 per month. Investigation
shows that, Notwithstanding compe-
tition by millions of emigrants, the
value of our own labor has gradually
increased, and that the demand for
it has. been considerably greater than
the supply. The fact is also exhib-
tied that, although the prices OF ag-
ricultral and nearly all other products
have materially declined during the
last three years, the rate OF wages
has not boon greatly reduced, and
That tho agricultural laborer can now
obtain nearly two bushels OF wheat
for the labor which would pay for
only ono buahel at tho close Of 1866.
Tho average rate Of wages 1869
VAS S25 IL, with board $l5Ss per
month. The following is u state
ment Of the average wages for the
diiieront sections Of tho country, as
pOTupGrod with 1S66
Grant County herald. [volume] (Lancaster, Wis.) 1850-1968, 1870-04-05

Tho central belt of states has sut-
lorcd some decline in the rate OF
wages, but in tke South and in Cali
lornia prices have been fully main
tainod-in tho first named section
because OF the increased profits of
cotton culture, and in cotton culture,
and ia California by means OF the
introduction Of new products and
the yield of wheat. Tho high rates
maintained in Kansas, Nebraska, and
the Pacific states and Rocky Noun
tain territories, is accounted for by
overland transportation, military oc-
cupancy, expeditions Of huuters,. ex-
plorations Of science, railroad build
ing, as we'll as mining itself, all of
which conspire to render prosperous
the business Of agriculture, with
such effect that the gold digger and
silver miner remain poor while the
farmer and gardener acquire wealth.
In Nebraska, in 1866, labor obtained
thirty-fivc per cent. more than aver
age wages and Kansas, an older
state, with more agricultural compe-
tition, ten per cent; while California
paid about sixty per cent. above the
average rates. Experience shows,
however, that the rate of labor will
decrease if the agricultural popula-
ton continues to increase with q
proportionatc representation Of 9TH
or Industrial interests that is to
say, a certain proportion Of the peo-
pie must cease to be producers and
become consumers or the rate OF
wages must necessarily decline.

Pasturing.

do firmly believe that the time
is at hand when nearly all the food
for cattle will, in our Eastern and
Middle states, be cut and fed to them

Spring, 30 that that their hoofs de-

and often killing in their infancy the

that the general adoption Of soiling

and to the population, Of our older
states. And yet, | know right well

What's the Reason +?

Take twenty boys of sixteen, in
our or any town in the State, and
let them go TO work, three or four in
dry goods store, boot and shoe,
fishing establishments, and printing
offices. In ten years they will have
become men of twenty-six, and the
majority Of them will then be about
as far along in the business as they
ever will be. One or two only in
each Of the above branches, will be
established in business for themselves
or connected with some firm doing a
good business, and the rest will be
barely getting living aud growing
about their poor luck. Now we as
sert that there is good reason for
their poor success, and that "luck"
has but little, if anything at all to do
with it.
If we take the trouble to ascertain
the real facts in their several cases,
we shall find that those young men
who became masters of their trades,
or leading men in their pursuits,
were not afraid to toork, and were de-
termined to succeed. They looked
beyond the day and week. They
made themselves valuable and use
ful to their employers by being al
ways faithful, reliable and willing to
do what they could for the interest
of those for whom they work ed
When press of business came, they
were willing to work extra hours,
and without sulking or grumbliDg,
we'll knowing that business must be
attended to when it came. and TINT
there were plenty of dull times du-
ring the year, which would moro
than countorbalanoe any extra brisk
ness OF the busy season. To sum it
it all up, these young men identified
themselves with the establishments
where they were employod--becamo
useful to their employers, in fact fix
lures, who could lily be spared, and
in duo course Of time, having gained
experience, were invited to take a
hand with the already established
house, or else boldly struck out for
themselves. Here, then, is the les
son, which is, if you wish TO become
successful masters, learn first to be-
come faithful servants.

Irish Bulls.

Singularly confused ideas must the
son of Erin have of death, for it is
related Of one whose master had died
suddenly, leaving letter ready for

ding at the bottom: "Sincc writing
the above | have died )" of still an
other who wished to inform friend
in neighboring town of the death
Of q fellow workman, that he sent a
dispatch signed with the deceased
mans name, reading: James, como
home; died last night" and an
Irish lady ordered her body to be
opened after her death lest she
should be buried alive 1t was q
Hibernian gentleman who told a

sA-It is said that corsets were in
vented by butcher for the purpose
Of arrestlng the talk of scolding
wife; they are certainly instruments
of torture worthy OF that sanguinary
trade, and efficient in lessening re-
spiration and vociferation. A mo-
ment's thought will satisfy any one
that this encasing of the chest by the
distortion Of the ribs deprives the
person subjected to it of much of the
air required for the publication of
the blood just as surely as if the liga-
ture were placed around the neck,
with the additional trouble Of a
laboring heart, a crowded stomach, a
torpid liver, and the general lassitude
of muscular inactivity.

The MOST ALARMING SIN.-lfI were
called to point out the most alarm
ing sins to-day-those which are most
deccitful IN their influence, and most
soul-destroying in their ultimate e e
iects--l would not mention drunken
ness with all its fearful havoc, nor
gambling with its crazed victims, nor
harlotry with its hellish orgies but
tho love Of money on the part of
men, and the love Of display on the
part o. women. While open vice
sends it's thousands, these fashionable
and favored indulgences send their
ten thousands to perdition. They
scar tho conscience, incrust the soul
with an impenetrable shell of world
mess, edbauch the affections from ev-
cry high and heavenly object, and
and make man or woman tho wor-
shipper of self. While doing all this,
the poor victim is allowed by public
opinion to think himself or herself a
Christian while tho drunkard, the
gambler, or the prostitute is not de-
ceived by such a thought for mo-
ment.--Dr. Crosby.
