After my return and before the meeting
Of Congress, several leading men in more
than dozen States, many of whom had
served with me in Congress, assured me
that they and the Republicans of their
States were for my nomination. have left
this matter to others, and up to this date
(the 18th of February | have not written
a word to any one nor replied to the many
letters | have received on the SUBJ
ject. The revocation by the Vice-Presi-
dent Of his declaration was to me
. surprise. 1t placed me in an I'M
pleasant position, and my first impulse
was to withdraw from the contest. But
by the advice of some of the best Republi-
cans of the land, East, West and South, |
leave the question to personal and political
friends. Whatever may be the result |
shall be content, and shall do what | can
for the utility and success of the Republic
can party, whoever may be its candidates,
for / am bound to it alike by conviction and
by association, by gratitude for its deeds
of patriotism and liberty, and by hopes of
the services it may yet render to the
country.

FREE DISCUSSION.
The National Agricultural Deparnment

The National Agricultural Department
To the Editor Of The State Journal.
During late visit to Washington we be-
came painfully convinced that this great
National interest had fallen into incompe-
tent hands. The commissioner, Judge
Watts, is q genial old gentleman, whose
personal and social qualities are highly
spoken of, but it is the general conviction
that he has out lived the period in which he
can successfully manage such an institution.
He is of the old school of Pennsylvania
farmers, and has kept himself pretty well
posted in the practical branches of agricul-
ture. He is, however, entirely without of
fetal experience, and has delegated the
main portion of his duties to his chief
clerk, a man of few months experience in
the Department, who conceives the highest
manifestation of dignity to assist in render
ing himself as disagreeable as possible to
every person with whom he comes in con-
tact. 1t appears that one incompetent man
is trying to perform his duties through the
medium of another still more incompetent.
We would not be a clerk under such man
agement for commissioners salary.
Take specimen of this mole-eyed adj
lninistration. Colonel Chamberlain, men,
Der of our Republican State Central Com
mittee, and gentleman specially interest
edin Virginia agriculture, was elected to
represent our State Board of Agriculture
in the Agricultural convention called by
Commissioner Watts, and now in session
in Washington. Having been called on by
some of his friends and brother delegates
on the morning of the opening of the con-
vention, he was sent for by Chief Clerk
Swank, and told that inasmuch as his time
belonged to the United States he could not
be permitted to attend. lie was then, with
a CALLING refinement of petty tyranny,
such as only a mind of infinitesimal
calibre could be guilty of, ordered to his
desk and to remain there until O'Clock p.
M. The least that decent respect for the
State of Virginia required was to relieve
Colonel Chamberlain of his Department
duties for few days, and permit him to
devote his whole attention to the business
of the convention. But this was beyond
the range of Swank's ideas. He seems to
be well qualified for an inspector of pen
tentiary shoemaker shop, in which his
main duties would consist in foggng pri-
soners and in counting shoe pegs. He has
not, however, any the qualifications for
dealing with gentlemen. The true way to
demoralize government employees is to
place them under just such a course Of
treatment as this. Men that will bear it
without squirming are mere hounds, and
should be kicked out for their obsequious-
ness.
The Agricultural convention, now in ses-
sion promises to be most disastrous blum
der to the commissioner. 1t was called to
bolster his administration, but as no idea of
its scope of action was suggested it has
fallen into interminable wrangles upon ir-
relevant issues, and may break up in con-
fusion yet. E. B.

Nebraska, with only 12s, 900 popuI

Nebraska, with only $4,000 popula-
ton, seems to be very difficult State to
govern. Last spring its Governor (Butler)
was impeached for corruption and deposed
from office and the Legislature has since
endeavored to remove the acting Governor,
MIR. James, without success. Lately Mr..
James left the Senate, temporarily, where
upon the President of the Senate, assum-
ing the prerogatives of Governor,
convoked the Legislature to meet
in extra session, with the intention,
it is supposed, of procuring the i'm
parchment of Mr.. James. The latter,
however, fastened back to Nebraska, re-
voked the order for the legislative session,
and locked the doors of both of the legisla-
tive chambers. But the members, having
assembled in Lincoln, were determined to
hold their session and SO they broke into
the State-House, and at the last accounts
were in something of a quandary, as the
Governor refuses to communicate with
them or recognize them in any way.

"A practical measure for encouraging
the growth and cultivation of forest trees
has been introduced in Maine, where bill
has been reported in the Legislature ex-
empting from taxation lands devoted to
that purpose for the period of twenty
years. The amount of taxes that would
be derived from such lands, if uncultivated,
would be comparatively small /; and yet the
exemption is of sufficient Importance, it is
thought, to stimulate the cultivation of
trees suitable for timber. Any plan which
affords reasonable promise of checking the
reckless devastation of forests which is
now going on throughout the country is
worthy of commentator, and it is to be
hoped that the Legislatures of other States
will make efforts to accomplish the same
end.
