Scientific farming consists altogether
and solely in deriving the greatest possible
profit from the soil. Lessen the labor and
Increase the yield, is the sum of the whole.
TO do this, every thing must be done at
the right time, and in the best manner.
By draining, the water must be got rid of;
by cultivation, weeds must be destroyed
by manure, the soil must be enriched; by
rotation of crops, the largest yield must be
secured by improved stock, the feed must
be economical and made of more value !;
and the how-to-do-all-of-this is the sum.
and substance of agricultural science.
Books on farming relate the experience of
successful men, the experiments they have
made, and the results they have attained.
Any and every farmer, who, by the use OF
his reasoning powers, is enabled TO raise
one bushel of corn per acre more than he
has hitherto done, by improved methods,
is scientific farmer, however much he
may disown the name; and not only has
he done good thing for himself, but the
world at large is, to some extent, better fol
his efforts and success; his mission, as q
man, has been to that extent fulfilled, and
he will leave the world better than Inc
found it, af

Hon. Charles Su inner.

True to himself, true to the principles of
liberty, true to progress, true to humanity
Hon. CHARLES SUMNER took for his first action
at the opening of the present session of the
Senate the presentation of petition of colored
citizens Of the United States praying for the
acknowledgment of their equal rights before
the law. We hope that the Senate and House
of Representatives will be overwhelmed with
petitions from coored people asking for the
passage of Mr.. SvMNER's bill supplementary to
the civil rights act As citizens of the United
States. and as portion of her brave de-
tenders in time Of peril We have right to
demand the passage of an act guaranteeing to
US perfect and full enjoyment of our rights as
such citizens. We have looked for a move
ment in the direction of demand for law
protecting the colored people from wrong and
oppression by railroad companies hotel pro-
prietors school commissioners, &C., from those
members Of Congress representing the coIored
people of the South, but it has been left to
representative Of State that already recognizes
the black mans rights to take the lead in this
movement. All honor to Hon. CHARLES
SUMNER
Though there has been vast improvement in
the condition of the colored people in the Dis.
trict of Columbia, there is yet disposition on
the part Of the white community to restrict and
place under disadvantage the colered people of
the District Our schools are so interfered
with as 10 threaten destruction Of their eff
cheney, and in our opinion the matter calls for
the immediate action of Congress. We hope
that Congress will strike a blow that will at
once put an end to any difference existing that
tends to disturb our educational facilities by
making of the public schools of the District
what their title mplies-public shoots indeed
wherein no discrimination is made either for or
against colored or white children. Put an end
to the teaching of caste in our public schools
and blow will b. stru * at the very root of
the insane prejudice against race and color !;
leave the matter as it now stands aud Hindoo
barbarism is being constantly nurtured.

Ii the movement which its champions have
christened civil Service Reform means any
thing, it is that the present practice of appoint
ing to office the men who, by their gallantry 10
the field, or their sacrifices elsewhere, saved
the Government, and who have placed in power
an Administration pledged to the principles for
which they fought and suffered, in preference To
the open traitors and their copperhead sympa-
thiz ers is wrong. Their scheme is based upon the
assumption that neither active service to the Gov
eminent in its hour of need, nor support of the
Government while struggling to heal the
wounds caused by the rebellion, constitute any
claim to its favor-that traitors should be per-
mitted to compete" with loyal men for the
privilege Of filling its Offices and be placed on
an equal footing with its friends. This is a
policy which it is quite natural the rebel De
mocracy and Republican malcontents and sore
heads should adopt for it is one that is de-
signed, if carried out to its logical conse-
quences, to strip from the Republican party all
the benefits of Republican administration.
Bat that sincere, honest, consistent Republi-
cans should favor a scheme invented by their
10 moro than strange When Congress, by
enacting civil service law shall declare to the
rank and file of the Republican party, Here
after you are to have no preference over rebel
Democrats in the distribution of the patronage
of the Government, and that beyond the Presi-
dent, members of Congress, and the more i'm
portant officers, politics is to have nothing to
10 wit MI oil, 80
is to pote-when this policy shall be estab.
lished, we may easily number the days left to
that party. The people will very soon cease
to spend their time and money for the success
of men who tell them they are no more worthy
OF favor than those who once proved them
selves traitors to the country, and are now the
bitter enemies of the Government
If it were true that enough intelligent and
competent men to fill all the offices Of this Gov
eminent satisfactorily could not be found in
the ranks of the party which saved the nation,
and is now its only reliance and safety, there
would be some necessity for placing rebels and
eopperheads on an equal footing with them
Bat to fill the various Departments of the
Government with men who fought four years
to destroy it, and would prove traitors and
spies now were the nation at war, would be
something more than madness, and will bring
down upon the Republican Congress, which
thus throws away all the benefits of a party tri
umphant, day Of reckoning, sooner or later
We trust-ou readers will carefully study the
article In another column from the Baltimore
American upon this subject
But though we are so decidedly opposed to
the civil service reform, which seems to have
been invented to restore to the Democratic
party what they lost by their treason, there is
civil service reform which might be adopted
with advantage. Its character we will here.
after give our views upon.
New national era. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1870-1874, 1871-12-07

Few Of those, we suppose, who oppose wo-
man suffrage on the ground that it would
result in the moral deterioration Of woman,
unfit her for the domestic relations and duties,
unsex her, as it were, and produce general
dissolution of the existing order OF society, are
aware of the fact that 10 Austria women aetu-
ally exercise the right of suffrage, and have
exercised it since suffrage was granted to the
people of the Empire. 1t is true that this
right Of suffrage 10 limited and vastly different
from our own universal suffrage; it is depend
emit on the possession Of real estate /; yet, since
the law does not discriminate betw cen man and
woman, it is equally fair to either. Any wo-
man. owning real estate in her own name, is q
legal voter, while her husband may be dis
qualified in the absence of such a title. The
system works quite satisfactorily, and none of
the evils have been noticed which its oppo-
nents in this country and others predict as its
inevitable consequences. Society has not been
unhinged, and domestic peace is not percepti-
bly, disturbed. Households are as well man
aged and children as well cared for as formerly.
On the other side, it cannot be concealed that
the jealous advocates Of female suffrage who
insist on it not only as the great aud only
remedy for all the real and imaginary griev-
ances of woman, but as the measure that will
radically cure almost all the evils and abuses
of our social system, as the solution of the
problems which puzzle the minds of social
philosophers, would try in vain to point to
such results in vindication of their theory.
The condition of woman generally does not
seem materially changed, and they are neither
better nor worse off than in other civilized
and tolerably we'll regulated countries. A
noteworthy fact it is, however, that, in contra.
diction to the opinion so frequently asserted,
that women constitute the conservative element
of society, in Austria they are almost all en-
listed on the side of freedom and progress.
Even those belonging to the old high aristo-
cracy, who own large part of the landed
estate of the Empire, cast their votes almost
invariably in favor Of the radical candidates.
As fair representatives of culture aud refine
ment, they contribute to illustrate the truth
that education and knowledge are the great
agents to liberate men from prejudice, super
stition, and traditional notions, and to win
them over to the side of liberty and progress.
