TIE COST OF A CONVENTION.

AT the last session of the Legislature,
Governor William Il. Stevenson sent to
that body his cstinlatc of holding II Co.'S
vcntion to alter the Constitution. llr
flung bis figures about with reckless zeal.
and after the most frantic manipulation
Of his statistics, reached tho startling
conclusion that the total cost Of Con.
ventiou would DO 1920, 29s 81. Upon
that estimate the Radicals have based
their opposition to n Convention, and
acting upon the idea that falsehood may
be made fact by repetition, have re-
pealed tho "w0ndrous tale" with We
hemcnt clamor. For their special Gu.
teri III ut, and to illustrate the rclia.
bility of their Lightning calculator"
We ,hcrc- reproduce an estimate of u
Convention, made in 1861, by Hon
Wi'liamlE. Stevenson, Of Wood county,
and by him reported to the Convention
of 1861. of which he was II member md
of whose Expenditure Committee he
was chairman:
(Extraci from the journal of the
Constitutional Convention Of West Viz.
giuil.")
MONDAY. December 10, 1861.
On motion Of Mr.. Van Wrinkle, the
following resolution was adopted
Resided, That the Committee on
Printing and Expenditures report au
estimate Of tue sum which will probab.
" be required to pay the members and
officers, aud dcfrny all other expenses
Of this Convention, based upon pruba.
bic session of sixty.fvc days, in order
that the same may be laid before the
Legislature for their government.

4 Restorative System of Farming.

My first counsel would be, practice
q restorative instead of an exhaus~
tive system of agriculture. A sys-
tenn that involves abandonment of
lands and removal to new scenes IL
unworthy of the age and reproach
10 modern civilization.
No man is worthy to be farmer
who does not annually leave his land
in better filth and strength than lie
found it. The intellect must share
more largely with muscle the toll of
agriculture; machinery directed by
skilled labor, and propelled by brute
fore, ard also by the mighty power
of steam, must take the place of ex~
pensive and inefficient human
strength. This change, as said In
this State year ago, involves the
necessity for smaller farms, better
culture, liberal use of manure, rota-
ton in crops, and larger working
capital in proportion TO permanent
investment" You are already spend
ing millions annually on the old
lands of the Atlantic States for com.
mercial fertilizers. While / would
commend judicious expenditure in
this direction, would make this q
basis of a practical rotation with q
course of grasses and other restora-
tive agencies of scientific agricul'
ture.
The business of agriculture should
be an industry and not speculation
Tue insane pursuit OF speciaities has
long been curse to American agri>
culture. A whole community runs
wild upon hops when selling at fifty
cents per pound, and in two years
they are scarcely worth the price oil
picking, and extravaganza, begotten
of high expectations, is forthwith
followed by bankruptcy. Wheat
brings $500 per bushel, and whole
States become wheat fields, while
every other interest languishes, un'
til the bread crop becomes so abund
ant as to be fed to swine in preference
70 shipment for human food. The
sheep with with wool at 81 pc
pound, holds high place in popular
esteem, but is Kicked from the pas
lure by every Randolph of the farm

cline in the value Of its fieece.-Ad
