Agricultural Fairs.

An intelligent writer in the Cul:iUdtOr
(Mr. HIRAM Waller, Of Oswcgo, y. y
makes some remarks on the subject Of agri-
cultural Fairs that are worthy Of considers

regulations for Fairs, appointment OF Judges.
society meetings, elections, &C., in which
he points out dclinquencics OF almost every
Fair that is held. The Judges are not prompt,
and ut late hour it becomes necessary 20
pick up persons on the ground, who pro-
coed, without preparation and often with
out qualification, TO pronounce Judgment
upon articles offered for premiums. This
often results in injustice and occasions
much complaint.
The annual meetings for elections are not
attended, says Mr.. WALKER, 10y the farmers
as fully as they ought to be, and the az
rangement of the societies are left to few
men. We are not sure that that is inju-
rious, and doubt whether there will be Il
change in this respect. The management
Of q few active and sagacious men is better
than that of the many. But farmers ought
to attend their societies in large numbers,
and participate III the discussions. Some
times they are tedious enough; but we
have seldom heard discussion in whicl
something was not said that was suggestive
or instructive.
The writer objects seriously to the LARGE
sums offered for the fastest horses Will,

while the whole premiums for the best SAM

Of the dairy combined, would not make
that sum, will tend, sooner or Later, to
bring our agricultural Fairs into disrepute,
and lessen their influence. Our State Fairs
DO not encourage this, neither do the Pro-

both prospecting. The question is simply
this: Shall few men who traffic in fast

How IS THIs2--Hona Cassius NJ.
Clay. made speech in Richmond, KY,
last Monday, in which he took strong
and decided grounds against Grant and
the epresent administration; unqualifedly
favored universal amnesty, and advised
the negroes that if they would be pros
porous and happy they must stand by
their late masters, and cease to act
upon the ridiculous and totally un>
founded hope Of ever being their social
equals. When o man like Mr.. Clay,
with all the peculiar political teuets
that he has held for 80 long, takes the
stand that he has taken, it affords
one Of the most significant signs of the
times, and still further confirms the
rapidly growing opinion that the days
of Radicalism are numbered. Mr.:
Clay, seeing at last that the course Of
the Radical party is certain, if per-
severed in, to entirely ruin the country,
lifts his voice against it, and no little
credit is duo him for it; but his de:
cidcd and manly expressions win fall
like wet blanket upon the Radicals Of
Kentucky, yho had been confidently
expecting him to stump the State in
their behalf. They had better profit
by his example, and reassert their man:
hood and their dignity before tits
eternaliy too late.
