Co OPERATIVE SToREs.-The most i'm.
portant cooperative stores in London are
nominally connected with the civil service,
but members eff Parliament, ~clergymen,
barristers, military and naval officers have
been allowed to become members of the as-
ISOLATION. The oldest institution Of this
kind in London was established in 1865,
and has now about $4,000 members, and
supports two extensive warehouses. A sim.
liar cooperative association, established a
few months subsequently,, has 1900 mem
bers. At these two stores during 1871
there were paid $8,lb4,47Q for clothing,
groceries and other articles of household
consumption.

The papers to-day publish a most remark
able extract from Mr.. Horace L. Kent's
'last will and testament" in which he be-
queaths to a married daughter, who was de-
voted to the southern cause, "25 Confeder-
ate bonds of Kent, Paine & Co., 1926, 900 !;
II servants emancipated by secession $lO,-
OOO. Insurance and Bank stock SIS, 600 /;
all my claims against the so-called Confed-
crate Government for the wanton, cruel and
wicked destruction of my property on the
Bird Of April 1865, 5000, O0O."
Mr.. Kent, above referred to, was a North
ern man who settled in Richmond, and, as
the head Of a well-known mercantile house,
appears to have made a large fortune. He
does not seem to have had any s~cruples
against holding slaves. Indeed, his love
for the Union seems to have been of an en-
inently material and practical character
One of the effects of secession which he con-
siders SO deplorable as to embody in his last
will and testament is the emancipation of
eighteen servants" who, but for s.rebeI-
lion," he might have owned to the day OF
his death, and then bequeathed them to his
posterity. He also appears to have had
$25, 600 Confederate notes at the demise of
the confederacy, and, considering the heavy
business said to have been done by his house
during the war, he must have managed
matters prudently not to have had a larger
amount on hand.-Baltimore Sun.

The Decision of the Supreme Court of
the United States, already noticed by us,
that the proclamation of President johnson,
Of July 4th 1868, fully and entirely pardon
ed all citizens, not then under Indictment
Or p~resentment, for participation in the
rebellion" is more Of an Amnesty than
we first thought. This decision declares
that all such are entitled to hold any office,
except seats in Congress of which each
House is the judge. 1t would then seem
that the disabilities of the 18th Amend
ment, which became a part of the Consti-
tuition on July 21st 1868, effects only two
persons in the "Confede rate States"-Jef-
ferson Davis and an obscure citizen in Ten
nessee, who we're under Indictment CD July

March 4th, 1872

March 9Th, 1872
Mr.. W. II. H. LYNN:
Dear Sir-Please change our paper Fl On.
Holden, johnson Co No, to Mt. Hope.
Lafayette county, Mo. We will move to-
morrow, and if we do rot meet with any
better success in Lafayette Co. than we have
here in johnson county, I think I shall return
to the Old Valley of Virginia, as 1 have
never yet seen any country can equal it,
taking into consideration, its many advan-
tages of soil, climate. timber, water, miner
ais, society, schools, churches, improve.
ments of all kinds, besides many other mi
nor advantages which this Western country
does not now, nor never will possess.
I would not advise any of my Vir-
ginia friends to move to this country
without first coming and examining for
themselves as it is not the Missouri that
they hear talked of in Virginia. True,
there are some few good sections, but they
are all taken up, and those who wish to sell
hold their land SO high that they seldom find
a purchaser. What they call an improved
farm in this country, Consisting of a small
house, with now and then a sort of stable,
and a few rail pens, and a sort Of fence
around the whole farm, With no cross
%fences,) they ask from $50 to $50 per acre,
and | notice the sale Of farms in the Nmdi-
Gator at about the same figures, that I would
rather pay 1915 per acre for, than to pay
800 per acre for these here in Missouri
And one, among theemany reasons I have
for making this assertion, is, the cost of i'm
proving a farm in this country. For in
stance, you pay $50 per acre for one of
these so-ealled improved farms, and by the
time you build yourself a good house, barn
other out buildings, and get your farm
fenced off into fields and in grass it will cost
you at least 800 per acre, if not more
Your Virginia farms contain these improve
ments already, and you get them With the
first cost of the farm, Another reason is,
that owing to the extreme droughts, to
which this country is subject. crops are IN.
certain and the market prices, as a general
thing, here are about half what q farmer
can get for his products in Virginia, while
the hire of labor in tbi, country is $40 per
month for a farm hand in Virginia you
can get the best Of hands for $40 per month.
These are facts, and NOT exaggerated either.
| hear a great deal of complaint from
Virginia about high taxes; Missouri is NO
better in that respect, and I believe | will
be justified in saying it is worse than Virr
GINA. I could give you more items but
have not time. Continue the Nndicator
and I will send you some money as soon as
we get settled. Yours, &C.,
