INVESTMENTS.

WITH the single exception of national loans
railroad bonds have been during the last half
century the favorite Investment in all
markets. South Sea bubbles and John Lord
schemes flourish at times and divert immense
sums from the legitimate channels of indus
try; nations necessity sometimes, as in the
case of our civil war, swallows up for a sea-
son the whole of the nations surplus; but in
normal times, when peaceful competition OBJ
tains, good railway securities always come to
the front. 1t is estim 4ted that no less than
eight billions of dollars are invested in
the railways of the world; and that the in
vestment has been, on the whole, paying
one, is indicated by the fact that the last
EAST India six per cents" are quoted at 105
in the London markets, while in our own, to
select leading instances, the Central and
Union Pacific bonds are advancing briskly
under a steadily increasing demand, the
former selling at 1O0@1O2, and those of the
Northern Pacific are being taken up rapidly
all over the country. The claims of the two
former are already appreciated by the public,
but as the latter have just been placed upon
the market, and are comparatively new to in
vestors, it may be we'll to say word or two
in exposition of their claims.
The railroad upon which they are issued,
extending from Lake Superior to Puget
Sound, occupies what is undoubtedly the
shortest line across the continent, and the
one about which are clustered the greatest
natural advantages. 1t is directly in the line
of Ethe great tides of commerce which flow
east and west over the lakes it brings New
York, by water and rail, 600 miles nearer to
the Pacific than any other line, and London
14oO miles nearer to Japan; it traverses the
finest region on the American continent
which yet remains unoccupied; and it is the
loadstone which will surely draw the North
western British Provinces into the fold
of our common Union. This road has
been endowed by Congress with a land
grant which foots up the enormous total of
fifty millions of acres; and these, with the
railway itself and all its property, are pledged
gage bonds. These bonds, moreover, com.
bine all the monetary features of the best
national loans. They are payable in gold at
the end of thirty years; they bear interest in
gold at the rate of $40 per cent. PEI
annum; they are printed in the currency OF
every country upon whose markets they are
placed; and they bring premium of 10 pei
cent. when exchanged for the company'G
lands.
At the price at which they are sold-pal
and accrued interest in currency-the bonds
pay an income third larger than that OBJ.

ton of the condition of the prisoner, and Of
the other to do away with the necessity of any
such amelioration, that is to say, to prevent
his becoming q prisoner at all. The Alder
man makes a short cut in this generous
rivalry, and it is nice question If he is not
the better ''Friend" Of the two. If there is
any justice a-going, therefore, the statue
must be that Of our old friend Bill McMullen.

bles them To- paw in greenbacks the inter

but for This reversal. they would have
been compelled to pay in gold.
This allegation may be true or false
1t was currently reported aud believed
when the new Judges were appointed
and color was lent To the change by the
fact that the Attorney General
moved for reopening of the question
Immediately after their appointment.
But, even II true, this Is not the worst
feature of the case. The worst feature Is
that. If decisions of the court of last re-
soft are liable to be reversed within one
year after they are rendered, we have no
longer any solid ground under our feet.
Cursed be he tAat removeth The land
marks is an old and a just saying. The
cnurt ought, for the sake Of its own dig
nifty and permanebce, for the sake of the
great principles of Jurisprudence upon
which human society resls, TO have
stood by its decision. This was incum-
bent upon those Judges who were in the
minority last year, equally with those
who were in The majority, and even more
than upon the new Judges. We fear
that the public credit will receive Sc
we're shock by this evidence of instability
in the place, of all others, where we have
been accustomed 10 look for stability,
permanenre, security. The mere dollars
and cents involved in the decision are of
small moment, but the feeling OF insecuri-
~ and unrest which it is calculated to IN
spire is indeed deplorable.
II is hardy to be supposed that The new
decision will be a finality. II decisions
are TO be changed by the addition of
Judges to the court. there is no reason
why the process should stop here, or
why it should be confined to the legal
tender case--no reason except the for
bearance oil parties strong enough to
make and unmake Judges and courts.
The Force bill which has just passed
Congress is, in our judgment, an alarming
departure from the principles engrafted
In the constitution, but, after all. ii is
law which II people can easily change.

Last Sunday evening the firing in
and around Paris was fearful, and
it is said that nothing like it has
occurred since the commencement
OF the civil war. M. Theirs ex-
presses the opinion that any ar
arrangement for peace with the Com
mune is impossible; but the proba-
bilities are now i'm favor of the Yer
sailles government. General Clus
seret has been discharged from the
leadership of the insurgents and re-
placed by Rossell. 1t is also re-
ported that Clusseret has been ar
rested by the consent of the Com
mune. Hopes are now entertain ed
that this fratricidal struggle will
soon terminate.

The Supreme Court of the United
States has reversed its former decision ON
the legal tender question. and now holds,
by . najcqty OF five votes to four, that
the Legal Tender act had q lawful er
post fucto operation, so as to make con
tracts entered into prior to its enactment
payable ia legsl-tender currency. instead
OF being collectabie in gold. For the ma
ture Of the decision we care little. al
though we think 1t was right. Chief Jus
tsce Chase, and Judges Nelson. Clifford,
and Field continue of their former opin-
son- They were the majority of the
court then, and are the minority now.
This is the sole reason why the decision
Is reversed. 1t is impossible to suppose
that the mere re-argument has persuaded
anybody. 1t was the reorganization ol
the court which has in fact effected the
reversal Of the former judgement. Thi.
reorganization was effected, not merely
by the filing Of the vacancy left by Judge
Grier, but also by the addition of another
Judge to the bench.

object was currently stated to be to re
verse this decision. The two new Judge

AGRICULTURAL SCIENCE.

In conversation with Mr.. Hand, Presi

Society, he kindly solicited me 10 use
what influence may have in this section
oil our country, in behalf of the Society
To iEis solicitation l most cheerfully re.
spond; and If what little / can do to pro-
mote the educational interest of Marshall
County, is acceptable, shall feel fully
compensated for the time devoted to the
society.
There is no sr. or science, in nv
opinion, more deserving of the attention
OF our people than that of Agriculture;
and yet, perhaps, uone is less understood.
But few, among the millions whose &C.
cupation is farming. cultivate their lands
according 10 The fundamental principles
of science. Generally the farmer plows
his ground, plants bis seed, and trusts TO
Providence for The crop. If the yield is
remuneraiive, Providence has favored
him, If otherwise The Goods lave frowned
upon him."
Now, without wishing to provoke a
discussion Of Especial Providence" we
unhesiiating'y give it as our opinion that
good soils, good seed and intelligent hus-
bandry will. nine cases out of ten, CON-
mand Providential regard.
Although Agriculture claims high

to a system of rules ard regulations
