variations. Their occupation is gone,

KELLOGG AND THE CU>roMHOUsE
SNuEEED ~ WASHINGTON. The
Washington Daily Chronicle, the organ
of the Administration, thus whistles
Mr.. Kellogg and the Customhouse
clique down tile stream.
Referring to our election difficulties
in this State, the Chronicle of the 23d
November says:
So far as the Republican party is
concerned it has simply experienced
defeat by internal division. 1t is true
that the Republicans at last were
reasonably united on Senator Kellogg.
But in the previous bitter political
struggle Governor Warmoth had fall
len, or been driven as he claims, into
the Liberal Democratic ranks. The
whole inAuence'of the State executive
which is Ear greater than it onght to he,
was thrown against the party, and
having suffered itself to he divided it
met deserved defeat. Aside from the
personal misfortune of Senator Kel-
losgg, few, we app'ehend, will regret
it. The Republicans have a clear mat
joIiiy in Louisiana. Let methods be
devised to secure a fair ballot and they
can carry the next election. If they
will not they of course suffer the con-
sciences. -.

GREELEY IDEAS ON FARMING.--In
Mr.. Greeley's speech at Baltimore he
threw out the following sensible views
of farming:
!. That the area under cultivation
should he within the limits Of the capt.
tai and labor employed; or, in other
words, that on impoverished soils no
one should cultivate more land than he
eau enrich with manure and fertilizers,
he it one acre or twenty.
2. That there should be a law COM
pelIing every ma2 to prevent his stock
from depredating on his neighbours
fields.
}. That green soiling is more econo-
mical than loose pasturage.
4. That deep tillage is essential to
good farming.
5. That the muck heap is the farm
er's nk..and that everything should
lie added tn it that will enlarge it, aud
increase at the same time its iertiizins
properties.
6. That no farmer or planter should
depend upon one stable alone, hut
should seek to secure himself against
serious loss in bad seasons by dive,si-
ty of products.
