Agricultural MetcorOlogy o.
Weather Bureau.

Weather Bureau.
The present attempt to adapt the meteor.
illogical reports to the varied and vital wants
of agriculture is one Of the most practical and
significant ideas of modern science. The
HERALD has at different times suggested the
possibility and value of such plan, and we
are glad to see that under the sanction of a
lazy enacted by the last Congress, the Sig
nal Officer has earnestly entered upon the
work Of bringing the reports within tho reach
of the rural districts Of the country. - -
Less than ten years ago, and very shortly
after the allied fleets Of England and France
before the walls of Sebastapol had been well
nigh rescued from destruction by timely
storm warming, M. lie yerrier predicted that
the time was near when the farmers Of France
would claim from the government the benefits
of the meteorological system which has proved
so acceptable to the maritime populations.
This prediction was verified in France
almost as soon as uttered, and IN
this country the utility Of the Signal
Service in warning the mariner had
scarcely been observed when the agricultural
societies all over the country began to ask the
extension of the system so as to meet their Pc
culiar necessities. In obedience to this latter
demand the last Congress gave the fullest
authority to the Secretary of War for the en-
largement of the Weather Bureau, and, as we
learn, it now only remains for the farmers Of
the country to come forward and cooperate
with the Chief Signal Officer in specifying the
information they desire and in utilizing what
is daily furnished them through the press
The study of meteorology, in its application
to the wants Of tillage and husbandry, is as old
as man himself, because 1t is the prime and
primeval necessity of him who must cultivate
the soil and in the sweat of his brow eat his
bread The only question for the farmer now
s, will he avail himself of the meteorological
labors of the Signal Bureau and the scientific
observations and deductions of its officers or
betake himself to the narrow resources of his
own vigilance, or, what is more common and,

THE Wan IN MEXICO is rich in startling
surprises. But yesterday the revolutionists
seemed 70 have it all their own way. To-day
this is ali changed. The government troops
now appear to carry everything before them.
II both reports be true then the familiar say
ing that every dog has his day lin the
sense Of but one day. is again amply
illustrated. According to our special
despatch from Matamoros the government
troops have reoccupied Monterey without
resistance from the revolutionists, who
were expected to do such mighty
deeds, but who retired and left the Juaristas
in peaceful possession Of that city. Generals
Ceballos and Palacios, commanding two sepa-
rate portions Of the government troops, both
agree in reporting the evacuation Of Monterey
by the revolutionists. Ceballos even claims
that he is in communication with Saltillo, In
the face of the fact that General Trevifo had
but few days ago surrounded that city with
three thousand revolutionists. After such
seemingly wonderful freaks of the fortune Of
war it would be idle to waste time and space
in speculations as to the probable issue of the
struggle

that the immediate future for France ia NOT
bright 1t is impossible to refuse to admit
that France in misfortune has revealed large
amount of vitality but nobly as she hax
done, 1t cannot be said that she Is quite meet
ing her obligations. The new taxes are not
proving so fruitful as was expected Thirty
per cent additional taxation Is a heavy BURDEN
for France to bear, and 1t will not be at all
wonderful If this burden has to be borne for
many generations to come. If such burden
effectually binds France to keep the peace the
misfortune Of the French people may prove a
gain to humanity.

The Condition of the French Treasury.
In prospect of a fresh French loan being
put upon the markets of the world we notice
that some prominent European journals are
busily engaged in the consideration of the
present condition and the future prospects of
French finances. According to the terms of
the treaty Of evacuation, just concluded,
France has to pay Germany before March,
1876, in addition to the sums already paid,
the enormous sum of one hundred and twenty
million pounds sterling, or six hundred mil
lions of dollars 1t is generally believed that
the government will make an endeavor to
obtain the consent of the Assembly to raise
this entire sum by single loan
Putting the matter in the simplest manner
possible, it is estimated that the war has cost
the French government and people about
double the original war indemnity OF ten
hundred million dollars, Before the nc

THE PEERS OF BRITAIN IN AGREEABLE Con-
cEssroN TO POPULAR RIoHr.-The English Bal
lot bill, as amended by the House of Commons

revision aud iwproyemept There was. con-

the outs stronger than the ins, in the proper
ton of Ave to one They arb.
But the main question, the paramount idea
among the honsst opposition elements In this
campaign, is an idea of reform In the govern
ment through change in the administration
The opinion is widely entertained that in his
domestic policy General Grant has rather re-
tarded than assisted the reconciliation OF the
South with the North, and that In Mr.. Fish's
foreign policy, In reference to Cuba and Spain
and Mexico and England, General Grant has
failed not only to seize his opportunities for the
advancement of the idea of manifest des-
tiny" but has failed to maintain, as it should
be maintained, the dignity and honor OF the
country All things considered, 1t may
be contended that General Grant in his
domestic policy has done very well, or at least
as well as could be expected, and that he has
wisely kept the government on the safe side OF
economy and retrenchnent. But still there Is
growing desire and restless agitation
operating upon the public mind in favor OF
change-anything for a change, anything
to beat Grant (which goes beyond the narrow
idea that all this is only scramble for the
spoils; and with the foreign policy Of the ad-
ministration there Is serious dissatisfaction,
not confined to the politicians, but spreading
among all classes of our citizens. In this re-
spect the fault has not been so much with
General Grant as with the incompetent ad-
visers by whom he is surrounded, and from
whose influence he ought long since to have
emancipated himself.
On the great issues settled by the war Of
Southern reconstruction, embracing the new
constitutional amendments Of emancipation
and equal civil and political rights to the black
race, the administration and the opposition
party stand upon the same ground In 1852,
the wings being in possession of the govern
ment, the democratic party, with Pierce as
their candidate, on the slavery COM
promise measures Of the great whig Henry
Clay, as their platform, defeated the whig can
didate, General Scott, so completely that the
whig party never rallied from that disaster,
but was next disbanded and dispersed. Now,
with the two parties-the administration and
the opposition party-brought round again to
the same platform, may not the party in power
be again defeated with its own weapons, and
particularly as the republican party, having
fulfilled its appointed mission, can no longer
plead the necessities of the war for the Union
or of reconstruction. We anticipate from the
ratification of the ..new departure Of the
democratic party by this Baltimore Conven-
ton, one Of the sharpest, most exciting and
most closely contested Presidential battles in
the history of the country.
The New York herald., 1872-07-09

sequently, very considerable amount
of excitement in the galleries, as a contest on a
question of privilege, if not of principle, was
expected to take place between the two
branches of the Legislature. The Peers
swallowed the measure pretty nearly as it
stood, however, taking the dose with such
show of GLASS amiability as will, it is thought,
satisfy the democracy of the British people.
This is an exceedingly safe and very agreeable
course of action for the federal barons, one
which goes to prove that the principle which
was maintained by their ancestors in the face
of King John at Runnymede was invincible, as
it Is eternal and progressive.

actors on the Spanish ministerial stage.

The BOARD OF HEALTH AND THE TENEMENT
HousEs.-The Board Of Health has taken the
tenement house matter into consideration,
and its officers are now busily engaged in in

THE ERIE RAILWAY ELECTION TO-DAY
The long-suffering stockholders Of the Erie
Railway will be afforded an opportunity to-day
Of deciding in whose management they will,
for the next year, repose their many and i'm
portant interests. Wall street is filed with
rumors of what stock -jobbing men have done
since the coup that ousted the old ring. But
oil these later conspiracies go for naught if
the stockholders are true to themselves and
elect men devoted to their interests. The law
was 80 shrewdly framed that the most expert
tricksters in speculation and stock -jobbing
can do nothing as against the real owners OF
the road. The inspectors at the election
should see that the spirit and letter of the law
are both observed in the provision allowing
only Legitimate stockholders to cast vote.

Position OF John q. Brecken-
ridge.

General Breckenridge is the idol of
Kentucky. No more popular man stands
upon her soil today than he. People
would like to have him enter politics
again, but he resoiutely remains aloOf.
l was told by kiusman OF his that
the General had resolved to take no
part whatever in politics as long as he
was under disabilities. There have late
ly been several newspaper reports in
circulation about his position, but they
are all without authority. No one has
any authority to speak for him, aud he
does not choose to speak for himself.
Since the war he has been what is
termed liberal Democrat. He favored
giving the negroes the right to testify in
States courts, favoring it from N otives
of justice and public policy, as a
statesman and lawyer. Upon other
measures looking to the advancement
and benefit of the colored population, he
has been equally pronounced
While no one has a right to speak
for him. it is however, understood here
that he favors the Greeley and Brown
ticket and does not think il the part
of policy or prudence to put a straight
out Democratic ticket in the field
