PUBLIC LEDGER.
MINISTER MOTLEY.

3 Mr.. Motley some time since was re-
cal..sa, by President Grant, as Minister
to the Court of St, James; and yet his
successor has not been named The
public are not fully informed why the
President should conclude to change our
representative to Great Britain, and
We are left only to conjecture. 1t is
very probable Grant would throw the
blame on this Minister for the failure of
the settlement Of the Alabama claims,
as he has been want to do in the past
when his plans have proved abortive.
Motley's friends say that he has followed
his instructions to the letter, and in some
respect acted against his own Judgment
in carrying out the wishes Of Grant.
He proposes to write a letter for publica-
ton, in which he will defend his course
as Minister of the United States to Eng
land; and when this Isl done, he will make
some important revelations as to the
manner in which our diplomatic service
has been conducted by the present Ad-
ministration. His friends. who are evil
IDENTIFY aware of the character of tie let
ter, are of the opinion that il will be
full and complete reply to the reasons
given for his recall. A change of agents
viii hardly accomplish Grants purpose
of making the English government pay
for tie injury done to the commerce OF
the North by the Alabama during the
war. He can scarcely bully this power
into an acknowledgment OF a.
wrong, when the people OF that
country are fully satisfied that
no negligence on the part of their gov
eminent caused the injuries complained
Of The position assumed by the Radi-
cal party on this question is certainly
good grounds for fight, unless England
should yield to the demands of the
United States. But the country is hardly
prepared to go to war at this time with
SO formidable contestant, and the eff
forts of Grant and his Secretary must
eventually end in smoke. Who will be
the new Minister in place of Motley is
question often asked, and is surrounded
by doubt up to this good hour. Grant,
perhaps, viii try some Of his own rela-
tons, as there is one left not supplied
with Government office.
Since writing the above, dispatch
from Washington, to be found in our
telegraphic columns, announces the APP
pointment and acceptance of the mis-
sion by General Schenck, the late de-
feated candidate for Congress in Ohio.

The public are indebted TO the Attor-.
ney General, who is ex-officio member OF
the Board Of Education, for his oppor-
tune exposure of the vile scheme Of the
State Superintendent, H.. X. Pease, to
induce the County Boards TO combine
their patronage in favor of certain pub
fishers to the exclusion OF all Others,
at a cost estimated (by the Attorney
GeneralD at three hundred thousand
dollars
A more glaring imposition could not
have been attempted upon the tax-pay-
ers. 1t is reasonable inference that
the State Superintendent himself isl
receive considerable share Of the profits
of the scheme IL it has not been spoiled
by the vigilance Of the Attorney General.
In another column we have published
his supplemental circular explanatory OF
his first. 1t is q feeble effort TO extricate
himself from the disgraceful dilemma IN
which his discovered speculation has left
him, He pleads that his original circular
was issued at his own instance. not by
concurrence Of the Board, which is pre-
cisely what is charged by the Attorney
General. Nevertheless, he is convicted
by his own confession of using the infia-
ence of his Office to accomplish what IS
a manifestly disrcputable scheme. He
says that all the principal publishing
houses are represented in the combina-
tion, and therefore 1T could not have
been monopoly, This is trans
parent pretehse, bearing its falsity upon
It's face. Besides, it is fatty contradict
ed by the AttorneyeG General, who AYERS
that the circular was issued in the inter
est of certain publishers, to the exclu-
sion Of all Others" The fact is confessed
in the supplementary circular, and the
pretense that all the principal publishing
houses are interested in the'swindle does
not furnish ground of defense. Even if
true, il would only prove that the Super
intendent had entered into conspiracy
of huge proportions against the tax-pay-
ers for his own and their aggrandize-

The most unsuccessful fruit grow

ty of those who till the soil, have
not studied even the elements of ag-
riculture, or horticulture. They do
not understand the principles Of
growth in plants or trees. They do
not know why rotation of crops is
necessary. And are ignorant of the
fact, that some plants need certain
kinds of food, which others do not
require. They plant trees, pillow. sow
and reap, without rule or system.
and after years of fruitless labor, will
wonder why they should have been
so unsuccessful.
What varieties of fruit trees shall
we buy? Where and how shall we
cultivate them? are questions fire.

They do not leave their imple-

They repair their tools and build

money judiciously, and they do not
attend auction sales to purchase all
kinds of trumpery because it il

They see that their fences are
well repaired, and their cattle are
not grazing in the meadows, oil
grain fields, or orchards.
They do not refuse to make correct
experiments in small way of many

They plant their fruit trees well
