The Louisville Comier-Jomnal says:-
The corn crop promises a most abundant
yield all over the North aud West, and a
very good yield in the growing regions
Of the Southern States, SO that 20 and 25
cents in first hands will be high price
where it has been this year from 80 to so
cents. In consequence ofthis vast supply,
which will hardly pay to market in full, the
hog crop promises to be extraordinarily
large, and will be sold at greatly reduced
prices, so greatly reduced that mess pork.
which has been held at S22 to % and
from that figure on down to SIC, will fall
very considerably below the latter figure
Already the provision dealers of Chicago,
who are provcrbially sharp in trade, are
offering to make contracts for delivery a
year hence at $l5 and under. Consequent
" the planters supply Of meats will not
cost much more than half as much as was
paid in the early part Of 1871.

HEAVY CATTLE Washington Buchan-
an, Of this township, sold last week thirty
two head Of cattle that weighed 1890
pounds. Twelve steers Of the lot weighed
1870 pounds, and six three year old
Durhams averaged | $50 pounds EACH
Although the entire lot was good merchan-
table stock. and commanded full market
figures, the heavy Durhams brought an
advance over the other Of y cents per
pound. Mr.. Buchanan has for several
years, in quiet way, been improving his
stock, and the people Of this country owe
to him. probably, more to any other one
man, their success in raising cattle

It Is Worth Trying?

The opponents Of a Constitutional Con-
ycnion 10 this State desire the people to
abandon all hope Of Improvements they
really need, for fear that the Constitution
may be altered in a way they do not desire
Upon the principle, man should not at
tempt to buy -four which is impcrativcly
demanded by his starving family, lest when
he goes to the store he may be prevailed
upon to purchase salt instead. If the peo-
rle send delegates to Convention pledged
to make only those amendments which We
all desire, there is no reason to fear that
any thing will be done contrary to the pop
ular will. If however, the Convention
should make such u Constitution as would
fail to meet the approval of the voters Of
the State, we are not bound to accept it..
1t may be rejected IN toto, as will probably
be the case, the provisions that are likely
encounter the most opposition may be sub
mitted to separate vote and thus the good
retained aud the bad thrown away Reg.
lister.

the right to say who they wanted for their
Judges, and where vacancies occur, the
Governor should only appoint until the
next general election. But under the
present Constitution, the appointment to
fila vacancy in any Circuit, may be for
the unexpired term.
Again, we have multiplicity Of Off.
GERS, provided for in the present Constitu.
ton, which are expensive and useless, and
cannot be rid Of without this Convention or
IN Amendment to The Constitution. 4
We are paying in this county, Ten
Township Clerks, $50 a year each, max (.
ing in tho aggregate $500 year, besides
this, they receive an average salary from
the Boards Of Education of at least $3.50
each, q sum equal to $500 o year-mak-
in al, eight hundred dollars year. Nov,
all tho labor a Township Clerk performs in
year would not amount to more than
$40, allowing him 81 day for his servi-
ces. Flo does no work for the county
whatever, and all the work no does do, is
for tho Board of Education, and tha. for
about an hour each meeting. Abolish
this Office and let one Of the members Of
the Board act as Clerk, aud you will save
this county at least $500 a year. What
is true Of this county is true Of all The
other counties in the State. $4,000 in
this little Office alone, would DO quite a
nice little sum to be saved yearly 10 tho
State. Don't you think SO!
An exchange says: there is scarcely a
sensible man ia the State who will not free.
" admit when Intercepted in relation to
the matter that the Constitution Of the
State may DO amended in several import
ant particulars with much advantage to
the whole people. The opponents Of the
Convention, say, make these amendments
by joint resolution Of tho Legislature
They loose sight Of the fact, that that plan
would cost more, be slower, and less eff
cacious Of good than Convention. The
Legislature has work Of its own to per-
form, and il to this We add the duty Of
thoroughly remodeliug the Constitution Of
the State, neither will DO properly or salts
tactorily done. A Constitutional Conven-
ton affords tho only practicable means Of
making such changes as arc impcrativcly
demanded"
Many other reasons might DO given in
favor Of the proposed Convention, but
which are reserved for future issues. Our
object was to be plain IN this issue, so that
our position might be understood. Such
