The organization'of the General As
sembly is now complete. On Tuesday
last speaker Cunningham announced
the standing committees ofthe House,
among which political power is about
evenly divided. The committee on
Privileges and Elections, which, in
view of the contested cases is most i'm
portant, is decidedly Republican. The
Democrats have sixteen of the chair
men and the Republicans fifteen. The
different offices of the House and Sem
ate are parcelIed out to the two parties
in about equal proportions, in accord
ance with the wishes OF the Hamilton
county Reformers who hold the balance
OF power. It is believed that this ar
rangement is in accordance with the
wishes Of Mr.. Chase to whose Interests
the Reformers are understood to be
committed. The Chief Justice has coun-
seled the ratification of the XVIII
amendment and it is doubtless with q
view Of securing that result by retain
ing the Republican Representatives
from Williams and Scioto counties that
the Republicans have been given con
troll of the Committee on Privileges
and Elections. Mr.. Chase believes thai
with the suffrage question out of the
way he viii have a clear field for the
Presidency in 1872, and hence his anx-
iety and that of his friends to settle
that issue. We shall therefore looI
for the ratification of the XVIII amend
ment by this General Assembly but a
the same time anticipate that its leg
islation in reference to other politica
questions viii be, like its organization
of mixed character.

from washington Correspondence Of the
N. 7. independence


TFrom washington Correspondence of the
N. Y. Independent.i
Geor=ia, one of the ''wayWard
sisters" having proved treacherous
for the second time, has been reman-
ded to the care of the military. Gen.
Terry is now practically her governor.
As all sensible people expected, there
Is a general chorus of Wailing from
rebels, copperhea6s, and Democrats.
Our Constitution has again been viola
ted, and nothing remains for the future
but the ruin of a once glorious COVER
ment. When the chief aim of the
General Government was TO protect
slavery and catch runaway slaves, we
had the most glorious and free COnsti-
tn ution under the sun; but when II at
temps to protect q long-abused race
and to punish malignant rebels 1t is
only worthy of contempt-ln theeyes OF
modern Democrats.
When one looks seriously at the
situation of Georgia, and some Of the
other states which rebelled, be Is
forced to the conclusion that il would
have been wiser If Congress had
adopted the conquered territory doc
trine of Mr., Stevens. II, at the outset,
the rebelIious states had been treated
as territories, much argument and
trouble would have been saved.
Before leaving the subject, l must
quote one paragraph from Gen. Terry
reports upon the condition Of Georgia:
II have" be says, recently come
to the conclusion that the situation
here demands the interposition of the
National Government, in order that
life and DronePtv NAV be protected,
freedom of speech aud political action
secured, and the rights and liberties
of the freedman maintained. In many
parts of the state there is practically
no government. The worst Of crimes
are committed, and no attempt is made
to punish those who commit them-
Murders have been and are frequent;
the abuse In various ways Of the
blacks is too common to excite notice.
If the most worthless vagabond in
the country were charged with a
crime against a negro or Republican
no man would dare TO testify against
him or TO refuse to give bail for him.
Most OF the outFages on tho blacks
result from hatred of their race; In
civil cases, too, negroes are without
redress for injuries. Magistrates dare
not do them Justice cannot even save
them from violence always while 10
their own presence"
With such an indictment the country
will not wonder at the prompt action
of Congress.

AMERICAN RAILWAY MANAGE
MENFs

The Scientific american concludes
an able article on this subject as fol-
lows:
We have given privileges to giant
corporations, which they have i'm
proved so profitably. thet they now
can defeat, in our Legislatures, any at
tempt to revoke them, and can laugh
at any demand for better management
Disguise 1t how we may, the rail
roads have got the upper hand of the
people, and they seem likely to keeE
Il. unless, indeed, their rapacity shall
react against themselves.
AT the moment of this writing ae-
counts reach us of the officers Of a
prominent railway line intrenchiDg
themselves against the officers Of the
law, and employing force to resist the
service of precepts calling them to ae-
count for alleged frauds upon the
stockholders.
That the Legislature Of this State
has the power to put stop to these
disgraeeful proceedings, is certain
what it will do remains to be demon
strated.

SMALL FARMS MOST PROFIT
ABLE


Small farms always do return the
largest profit. There are thousands
of farmers all over the United States
who would make more clean money to
dispose of one-half their land, and
work the remainder thoroughly, than
they now make by going over such a
large breadth, Still large farms can
De cultivated with more net profit to
the proprietor than small ones by
proper management. Yet, according
to the present system Of management,
small farms do return the most profit.
The reason of this is that q farmer
with only a small number of acres Is
more apt to till better. manure more
bountifully, and perform every opera
ton more thoroughly than 1t he we're
required to work double the number
of acres. IF farmer. for example,
works twenty acres, be must ueeessa-
rily keep a good team, and as com
plete an assortment Of tools and farm
implements as ii be we're oultivating
iifty acres. A good team wilt usually
perform All the labor ua a farm OF hf-
Il acres, and require very little NOR;
care and feed than IL they performed
only the labor of twenty acre farm
| Taking this view OF the sutJect' y
will be perceived thatjt costs comPara'
lively more TO carry On small farm
than a large one. Bat the chief argu
ment against large farms is that far
mers are liable to work over a grea
breadth of land without doing eyerJ
| part of the cultivation thoroughly
The man with small farm will ma x
more manure in comparison to hu
neiqhbor who eultivales twice as mucf
Lard as himself. For this reason Lht
farmer who has the greatest breadth
of cuItivable acres will not usually
raise as bountiful crops as If he tllleSS
only half of the amount of land
| A thoroughgolng farmer may cultlVat,
! fifty acres with as satisfactory prohtt
acre for acre, as he can till twenty, !
he manage judiciously.
