CINCINNATI.
German An,i-Reneaisrs.

CINCINNATI, Aug. IA large mass
meeting of Germans tonight in Green
wood Hall, was called to give expression
to views of the German part of the pop
ulstion who are opposed to the present
movement to repeal the Sunday laws.
The hall was densely crowded, many
were compelled to STAND, and many went
away for want of room.
Much enthusiasm was manifested.
Speeches were made in German by promi-
nent German lsymen snd ministers, and
resolutions in both German and English,
and each loudly applsuded aud adopted.
The resolutions declare that they aIe
opposed to the repeal of the present ben
fetal Sunday laws; that they regard the
preservation of Sunday as day of rest
as now guaranteed to the United States
by law, as absolutely necessary TO the
moral and physical well being Of the peo-
pie, and that the labOrer can only in any
event be sure of days rest when such
day is set apart by law; that the pTinci-
pie Of equal rights, TO which the oppo-
nents of the Sunday laws appeal, does
not require that every individual should
have the privilege al his option to disturb
the other in the enjoyment of Sabbath
rest and quiet; on the contrary, that this
principle demands the ChrisIiann shall
have legal protection against al unneces-
sary noise and disorder whereby Sunday
quiet and the services OF religion may be
disturbed; that the agitation designed to
accomplish the repeal of the Sunday laws
is not in harmony with German ideas AID
customs, 80 in all parts of Germany there
are Sunday laws, some of which are very
stringent, that those Germans
who desire TO lay violent hands
on the Sunday laws do not represent the

citizens, and among them many church
members, desire TO see these laws main.

SIR MATTER SCOTT.

The fifteenth of the present month
being the one hundreth birthday of this
great and good man, the inhabitants of
the old world, as well as many intelligent
citizen of the new, are looking forward
with bright anticipations, to celebrate the
centenary of as pure heart as ever livA
cd, and who possessed a nature as noble
as ever adorned the annals of any coun-
try. Sir Walter Scott was born on the
fifteenth of August, I'LL. He died at
the age of siXty-one. IRbued from his
early infancy with a desire 10 cultivate
all those noble traits of character, per
tanning only to the just and true, It's no
wonder this immortal poet, novelist and
historian lives in history and in song. He
is read in every land, wherever literature
has made foothold, and his Lady of the
Lake, The Lay of the List Minstrel, to-
gether with the Waverly novels and nu-
merous other works Of his, will be read
more and more, IS education and civil
zatiOn advance in every cline. His
works including his life, comprise about
one hundred volumes, all of which are
worthy of place amongst the highest
achievements of the human mind. 1t has
been said OF Sir Walter Scott that no
base thought ever fitted across that fer
tile brain-no venom ever ranked in that
healthy heart-nO sordid mo'iye ever
tainted that generous soul. The good
which the genius Of Scott has conferred
upon the world can never be weighed.
He is g great magician who strips the
bosom of care and instills cheerfulness
instead. He is worthy to be remembered
as true philanthropist, as a transcend
ent author, as a great and noble man,
and no doubt future centuries will rather
add to than diminish the lustre of his
fame, furnishing as he has done enough
food for cur amusement and Our pos
teEity. w.

ly to New York and procure his arrest.
Instead of this, however, he expressed a
determination 10 return TO Madison coun-
ty and consult his friends. Nothing has
been heard from him since.
In this connection we should say, that,
instead of the injunction being ready since
Saturday, the pspers TO procure that doeU-
ment were ready. IL Thompson tele-
graphed to New York and received an
answer that the arrest had been made,
the fact is not known to his attorneys.
The parties in this city who should be
fully posted, know nothing of any arrest
having been made. l. is, however, well
known, that the sister of Mrs Colburn
bought ticket for New York Monday
morning, at the Columbus depot. She
probably was not aware of the fact taat
inquiring eyes we're cast over her Shouts
Ger at the time of the purchase.
The story, SO far as it regards the ex-
humation of Bufiugburger's body and
the report by DR.. Warmley, that poison
had been found in the stomach and liver,
is beyond dispute in this community. The
theory Of the prosecuting party is, that
Fowler's preparation, used for the CONS
plexion among ladies, was the article used
to take the life of the sged husband.
1t remains TO be demonstrated in legal
investigation, whether The wife adminls-
tered the poison, slways provided that the
delay of the prosecuting parties has not
resulted in the escape of the accused.

CONVENTION OF FARMERS

To the Editors Of the Union and American:
am fully aware of the profound inter-
est you take in agricultural matters. For
this reason / send you this article, cover
ing the vital question of 9 convention of
farmers in Tennessee. 1t has occurred 10
me that such convention is imperatiYely
demanded. You know, as well as / do,
that there has been heretofore but little
concert of action among them. Perhaps
IN your part of the State they are more
united than they are in East Tennessee.
IL they are not, pity their condition. l
do not think that such convention would
cure all the ills incident to our agricultu-
raj condition, but, upon my word, am
convinced it would cure many of them.
The most casual observer must perceive
that our system of farming is suffering
for the want of an intelligent
practical experience. Automatic prin-
ciples as laid down in the books
and as sustained and enforced by science,
are very good in their places, but what do
they amount to in the absense of prae-
tic0L tests This is the one thing need
full, and that practical test must be
brought to bear, in its ponderous weight,
upon the common, or uneducated agri-
cultural mind. But few of our farmers
are educated. Hundreds of them have
scarcely the rudiments of an education.
Scientific expositions, therefore, will do
them no good; but these expositions may
be made patent to them provided they are
clothed with the actual experience of
others. Such Convention as am writ
ing about, would bring together the high
est grade of farmers throughout the State,
and the opinions they might advance and
the elevated counsel they might give,
would exert 8 prodigious influence for
good in al directions.
A 'TleaO departure" must be effected
in farming as well as in politics. The
times certainly demand it. The political
departure was brought about by mutual,
hearty and robust conference of kindred
spirits. The agricultural departure
must be brought about in the same way.
Tillipg the soil and the rearing Of stock
are yet in their infancy in this section.
We have made a slight, very slight, ad-
vance upon the centennial systematic
system of one hundred years ago. Let il
be uprooted, and let higher order Of Gull
tivating the soil take its place. There is
power and force enough of intellect in
this commonwealth to do this thing.
Hence my reason for suggesting that we
have convention of farmers at an early
day. Nashville is the place for holding
it. What cay youl VINO will indorse
the movement? G. w. CHARLTON.
