The HOG Lw.-Important discoveries

meditation. Experiment is the crucible
in which tApries are tested. Laws FIFE
quently ce1eived in good hearts, warm
for public tnl, have proven dross when
submitted b the crucible. So we think
about the hog Law. We have thought
over 1t, and the more we think about 1t,
the more weare convinced that it will not
answer the, purpose for which it was in
tended. Warm weather is upon us, and
what with tie decay Of vegetable matter,
which no lw can prevent being thrown
into the steets; the Otfensiveness Of pig

the only shat we have-better repeal
the law. md it AS, BIS, C's, or DIS hogs
come to town and are penned up to be
sold, can't they replevy their property ?
Look out Or lawsuits, and be sure that
able lawycs can be found to defend the
hog-ownes. Aye, and you must consid-
er, not solpuch the "majesty Of the law"
as the temper OF the %juries. 1t has been
pretty wsl settled that sympathy governs
the CONCESSIONS Of Judge and jury alike.
People rlrder nowadays, and after a
while SYMPATHY is aroused in their favor,

The AGRICULTURAL BUREAU.-Col. j.
B. Killebrew, Secretary ofthe Bureau of
Agriculture, established under Act passed
by regular sessioniof present General AS
sembly, visited Winchester the other day
for the purpose Of getting in ormation as
to the agricultural condition and undevel-
oped resources of our county. We quote
as follows from a circular issued to the
Agricultural Societies and Farmers Clubs
of the State, tO-wit:
mo systematic effort has yet been made
to discover what the resources of Tennes-
see are or where they ale located. Much
less OF effort has been made to develop them
or make them known to the world. This
lack of trustworthy information is not
confined to the vast mineral resources that
are known to lie concealed within the
bowels of the earth, but extends to the
every day occupations ofthe farm and the
workshop. Perhaps there is not a county
in the State that does not possess features
that would offer attractive inducements to
some persons seeking new homes, or new
investments of capital certainly there is
not a farm in the State whereon improve
ments are not needed, to which improved
culture would not add much in value.
These valuable features may consist in
peculiarly fertile soils, great mineral
wealth or abundant water power at eX-
traOrdinary low rates, or delightful eli
mate with health-giving water, or any of
the many things that make a country at
t~ractive and render it's lands valuable. But
be these features what they may, it is only
by well organized and thoroughly sys-
tematlzcd efforts that they can be made
known. 1t is only through such efforts
that the actual condition of the State in
dustry can be %ascertained. To-day Ten
nessee should, on account of her natural
advantages, stand in the front rank for
wealth; but Massachusetts, with only one
sixth of the territory and with no mineral
resources can buy three such States. We,
therefore, confidently appeal to your So
eiety to aid us in the great work we have
undertaken, knowing that in the end the
| State shall reap an abundant reward"
Col. Killebrew left in our care copies OF
blank reports, one for each civil district in
the county, with the request that we select
a suitable person in each district to fill the
blanks. The plan of the report is very
easily c%omprehended from the blanks. II
has been suggested that the Magistrates Of
each district take these blanks and fill
them. They can easily get assistance
from all who wish to have our county and
its advantages properly reported. This /;
an important matter and we request the
Magistrates to call for the blanks at once
and get such information as we can give
upon the subject. Reports of districts
can be returned to the Home Journal office
to be compiled tor the county.
DIR. j. M. Stafford, GeOlogist to the State
was appointed by the Bureau the Chemist
and will issue shortly a series of papers o
great Importance to the farmer.

Crime In the City.

The frequency of murder in this city is
becoming absolutely alarming, and unless
some stringent measures are adopted by the
authorities the ruffianism will become COM
pletely master Of the situation. Indeed, to
such an extent is the use of the knife and the
pistol carried that no one is safe. The law
has been proved to be particularly impotent
to punish the assassin, and, as a result the
rowdy element feel that they are at liberty to
vent their anger on any one who is unlucky
enough to incur their ill will If the law
were administered as it ought to be the reign
of murder which now holds sway in the COM
munity would be soon checked for the very
class who are readicst to use deadly weapons
under the present looseness in the administra-
ton Of justice would be very chary in running
the risk Of being hanged. Unfortunately at
present they can nearly always count on
the presence OF some tender conscience on the
jury, with whom to defeat the law is virtue.
1t is a great misfortune for community to be
blessed with people of this stamp Their SYM
pathy seems always to turn with the interesting
assassin who, in fit of jealousy, or heated by
drink, murders in a cowardly and brutal man.
ner some fellow creature. Unless we are TO
declare that killing is a noble sport in which
those who feel so disposed are at liberty to
indulge, we must find some cure for the con-
sciences Of jurymen. The most rational way
out Of the difficulty would be TO pass law
that, except in political cases. two-thirds Of a
jury should be sufficient to give verdict.
Such law as this would soon have the effect

The Diflic culties Between President
Thiers and the French Assembly.

VhierS ana the French Assembly.
The situation as between President Theirs
and the Assembly, as will be seen from our
telegraphic news columns this morning, is
not improved. For some days past it has
been threatening; it now seems to be alarm
ing. A despatch to the London papers pro-
nounces the situation gloomy. The majority
in the Assembly, it is said, has refused to
yield or in any way abandon its position. A
compromise between the executive and legis-
lative departments of the government is,
therefore, pronounced improbable. A later
despatch has it that the party of the Right in
the Assembly have decided to nominate
General Changarnier as their candidate for
the Presidency in the event Of the resignation
OF President Theirs. If this latter report be
true it justifes the statement we made yester-
day, that President Theirs was gradually
losing the support of the Right and doing his
best to find support from the Left. The situ-
alton is really critical. We have never con-
cealed from ourselves the fact that tho Assem-
bly, was stronger than the President but
should Theirs resign it is not our opinion
that France would trust the Assembly for
another hour. Gambetta demands dissolu-
ton; and if Theirs resigns it must either be
dissolution or revolution. .,'
The New York herald., 1872-11-26

An uneasy feeling is being manifested by the
radical party in Rome, which causes the gov
ernment of Victor Emmanuel considerable APP
prehension. It is not to be expected that
Italy, which has been for generations the very
hotbed of revolutionary enterprises, should in
moment abandon all her acquired habits and
settle down as peaceful and law-abiding na-
tion. The fact is that while the causes which
predisposed the popular mind to acts of vio-
lence have been removed their effect will con-
tinue to be felt for many long day. 1t is,
however, misfortune that the progressive
theories of the liberal party should be turned
into agencies of disturbance in q land where
all the liberty that is good for them just now
is enjoyed by the people. A strong govern
ment which can command general confidence is
the first need Of the Italian people, and
to procure this all secondary requirements
ought to be sacrificed Those republicans
who talk of overthrowing the rule of the
King belong to that class of liberals who, by
their turbulence and folly, bring discredit on
the principles they profess without compre-
hending. IN the hands Of such men Italy
would again be split up into miserable cliques
and factions and would cease to have any i'm
portance among the nations. We are in
favor of a republic in Italy as in all other
lands, but we want to see it come gradually,
SO that it shall bring with it peace, order and
prosperity, not violence and anarchy. II the
radical party in Rome were wise they would
devote their whole energy to supporting the
government and to educating the people, so
as to hasten the moment when the advent of
the Republic would be real blessing to their
country.
