Dogs or Sheep.

The Iowa HON estedd of n recent
date In noticing the fact of the agita-
ton of this subject in the st. Louis
Farmers Club, very properly re-
marks, that this Is not only u mat
ter of Importance in Missouri, but i'm
the whole West, rs the destruction of
sheep by dogs, and from other causes,
has become alarming, and will result
in q few years, In almost an entire
determination. The poor sheep have
but few now to do them reverence,
where they but q few hours since had
thousands. Such indeed appears to
be the low esteem in which the sheep
is held now, 1t isa matterof wonder tn
us that premiums are not offered for
the dog that kills the most of them.
At all events, where our people so
act as to give evidence that the dog
shall he preserved whether the sheen
Is or not, we fear there is no chance
for the sheep, and they must dwindle
in numbers until our wooden MANN
facturers will he compelled to send
out of the State for wool enough Ia
keep their mills In operation. There
IL room for both II good sheep and u
good do,, aud by excluding all others,
we car have all we want of both but
II we must have but one of these AN
imals, give us the sheep. Look to il,
farmer, whether you are not sacrihc-
ing your W interests by protecting
the dog instead of the sheep. As you
can control all necessary legislation
on this matter you must bear the re-
spou,ibilily Of the results. Do not
call upon Hercules to do that which
Is in your own power.

How Printers are Treated.

A great many societies, associa-
tions, and people generally have
queer notions, about printers. They
think we can puff and publish ior
nothing. Let us give you an exam
pie. A nan Is DESTROYS of advertis-
Ing, and after making contract for a
half u dozen lines, and beating us
down to a half price, he wants TO
know If we can't throw In an editori-
nj puff, which is worth more than an
advertisement. Would it not be as
sensible to ask grocers to throw In "a
pound of tea People forget that ink
and paper cost money and they seem
astonished If we ask pay for u card OF
thanks, and tribute of respect, or a
communication, of anything that
only interests u few people and not
the reader. They forget that IL is the
printers ink that makes nine-tenths
of theirimmense fortunes. They for
get that IL takes money to pay compos-
tors, 10 buy ink, type and paper; and,
lastly, they forget sven To thank you
for working for nothing by gratuit-
ously putting their business or serving
the public. Did you eve hear of
anything or any corporation thank
ing AN editor for what he has dome :?
Guess not,

SPRINGFIELD, TENN, Feb. @, 1871.
The February term of our Circuit
Court commenced this morning,
Judge King, of the Montgomery
Criminal Court, presiding, and an
unusually large number of the far
mers of the county in attendance
The large attendance was mainly the
result of II previous announcement
that Col. J. b. Killebrew, Of the
Union and American, would al lreSs
the people on the subject of agricul-
ture.
At IL o'clock his Honor adjourned
court for the day to give Col. Kille-
brew m opportunity to address the
people, and the peoplean opportunity
to organize a farmers club.
After being introduced by Judge
King, Col. Killebrew proceeded ia
demonstrate most fOrcibly the inn
portance of the farming interest. and
of united effort in the development
of the resources of the county. His
speech was not only n grand display
of learning, but was full of Informal
ton of the highest interest and inn
portance to the farmer, and was lis
tened To with great attention by tn,
large crowd present.
The matter of forming "A farmers
club was taken I'm hand by the Ag

The Southern PnciHc.

The most important event in Con-
gress to-day was the test vote in the
House oil the Senate bill Incorporating
the Southern Pacific Rail Dad Com
pany and granting it the usual land
subsidy. Its friends moved u reference
of the bill to the Committee on Pa
cific Railroad, with instructions to re-
port it back Oh any day after the 10Th
of February, which was carried 10y
more than u two-third vote. Many
of the Republicans and Democratic
mem bers who have opposed further
land subsidies voted for this bill, on
the ground that, rs northern and CEN
trail overland roads had been muniti-
Gently endowed by Congress, it was
simple justice that the South should
have II road. The bill provides for a
land grant of twenty alternate see
tons to the mile on both sides of the
road in the territories of New Mexico
aud Arizona, and ten alternate sec
lions to the mile in California. There
is no land grant in Texas. The roat
is to run from FL Paso to San Diego

RECONSTRUCTION.


The appropriation of fifteen thous-
and dollars Of the peoples money,
by Congress, for the purpose Of bir-
ing carpetbaggers and scallawags to
concoct, and to swear to, lies against
the South, Is characteristic Of Radi-
calism, that 1t seems to excite neither
apprehension nor indignation. The
bayonet Representatives Of the south
ern provinces seem resolved to crush
u people over whom they can not
rule, except through the unwarrant-
able interference of federal usurpa-
ton. And to maintain their occurs
ed supremacy, will risk the utter de-
struction of the South aud their own
assured consignment to a depth OF
infamy which they, alone, of all Gre
ated beings, can fnthom. They have
already sounded Its depths, and find
ing them more congenial to their in
stincts and habits than the purer ele-
ment in which gentlemen live, have
nothing to lose except office and Its
emoluments.
But, reconstruction with all Its
loathsome tyranny, Is beginning to
be a heavier burden than even Radi-
calism can successfully carry. All
are not madmen who are knaves, and
even Puritans are beginning to have
a faint apprehension that the tyran'
ny and wrongs inflicted upon the
South may recoil upon themselves
They begin to feel that their favoritt
catch-word, before the war" the
Union cannot exist, part free and par
slave" is as applicable now, as then
and that the South cannot be en-
shaved, the North remain free, an,
the Union still he preserved. Prussii
makes war upon France to consoli
date Germany, the purpose Of thu
Radicals, in making war upon tn
South, was evidently to consolidate
the States; but having neither tn,
brains of Bismarck, nor the concen
trated authority of king William
the experiment partially failed. II
strike such a blow at liberty, success
fully, it must be dealt quickly an,
with vigor. To give time for reflec
ton, Is to lose the opportunity an
fail in the object. The party tina
lives only for mischief cannot lon
survive II suspicion of its dangerou
character. Such is the condition {
Radicalism and its fate Is sealed.
