Co-oPEEATroS.-In this country the
cooperative principle is rather expert
mental than otherwise. It has failed in
number of instances, from causes
which might perhaps have been avoided.
These failures DO not, however, initiate
the general advantages to be derived
from the system. Our people are not SO
patient as they are in England, where
the rewards of labor are meagre, and the
expectation of high profits much less
extravagant in consequence. There the
aggregate advantages obtained from as
ISOLATED capital and energy are astonish-
ingly satisfactory. In such enterprises
much depends for success upon the
management of the business embarked
in. The directors and superintendent
must be men and women of energy, pop
ularity, integrity and ability, of econom-
ic habits, and who take deep interest
in the work they have to perform, and
push it with an indomitable will, deter
mined to win. In the absence of such
officers, with these qualifications, the
chances are, perhaps, more than even
against making cooperation profitable.

Clearinghouse Certificates.

THE New York banks have adopted the
plan of settling balances with clearing
house certificates instead of greenbacks
during the present furry. To the general
public it may be well to explain what this
action signifies. In time like the pres
ent, everything which tends to economize
the use of currency is pro tc2to a relief TO
the money market. New York being the
monetary centre of the country, the place
where all other banks keep greater or less
balances, she must respond with currency
when the banks of other cities
call for their funds. But for all
her own purposes she may use
anything which her own banks may
agree lt consider good. All the banks
meet once each day at the Clearing House
to exchange checks. The Park Bank, for
instance, turns into the Clearing House
checks drawn on other banks for
$500,000 The other banks perhaps turn
in checks on the Park Bank for
$550,0O0. The Park Bank, therefore,
owes the Clearing House $4,000.
Usually this sum would be paid to
the Clearing House i'll greenbacks. In
order, however, to ecOnOmize the use OF
greenbacks, the Park Bank, its condition
being shown to be perfectly solvent, pass
es in it's own check for $50000. Other
banks against which there is a balance do
the same The Clearing House then issues
its certificates for an equal amount to the
banks which have balance coming to
them from the days clearings. The sys-
TEN is perfectly business-like and in &C
cord with sound principles of finance,
though it necessitates frequent examina-
ton of the assets Of the several debtor
banks by the Clearing House Committee

The Condition of the West.

TIE first inquiry that suggests itself to
the Western reader in connection with the
present exciting condition Of commercial
and financial affairs at the East is: How
are we to be affected by it? In order to
arrive at truthful and well-defned an
sWer to this important question it is only
necessary to consider few facts
l. We have just secured wheat crop
throughout the West of average size, but
of much better than ordinary quality.
While it began early to move toward the
seaboard, this great store of wealth has
scarcely been broached. 1t is yet mainly
in the hands of the producers, where it
should be in an emergency like the pres
ent. The vast surplus is now to come
forward with no uncertain promise of an
active foreign demand. The falling off in
prices during the past day or two can be
but temporary, and there is every reason
to believe they will meet with decided
advance speedily.
2. The West is freer from debt to-day
than she has been at any time since the
war. The stringency of the past six or
eight months has had the effect to cause
all classes to move with caution and pru-
dence, and to avoid debt. This is espe-
cially true of the rural districts, upon
which our welfare so entirely depends.
3. Our merchants during the past year
have operated with the utmost caution
and the records of the commercial
agencies, East and West, never exhibited
their credit in better light. Inland deal
ers have bought but sparingly and have
not contracted any Indebtedness that can
become embarrassing.
4. The best element of all is that conf
dent, hopeful tone which always pervades
Western communities This was seen in
its grandest phase during the early days
succeeding the great fire. From all parts
of the interior came words of hope and
encouragement. The people were as de-
termined and steady as they are to-day,
scouting the very idea Of distrust or
panic.
TO sum up in one sentence, the West is
today as sound financially as any COM
munity under the sun, and she has the
wherewithal in her immense surplus OF
cereals to pay all her immediate indebted
ness. From these considerations-and we
believe none will challenge their truth
we can see no good reason for the exercise
of any but hopeful and confident spirit
in the present exigency. Panics are as
often based upon nothing as upon sub
statial causes, and there is no reason why
the people of the great Northwest should
become participants in the excitement
which has arisen from the downfall OF
reckless spectators in railway securities
What we need is simply to exercise that
habitual GOODNESS and steadiness which
are so eminently characteristic of the peo
pie of the West, and all will be well-

County Fairs.

THIS is the season for County Fairs
throughout all Of the Northern States.
The most of them will be held within the
next thirty days. This annual gathering
of farmers for the exhibition of the re-
suits of their labors during the season
which is just drawing to close, is Gus
tom the origin Of which is of recent
date in this country. 1t is one of the
necessary results of progress on the part
of farmers. 1t will hereafter serve as a
land mark indicating the dawning of the
era of intelligent farming-the era when
men shall realize the importance, ifnot
the absolute necessity of brain work
as well of muscle work in tilling the
soil.
County Fairs, if properly conducted,
are great educators of the people. They
excite rivalry, stimulate thought and in
dustry, and afford positive demonstra-
tions of the advantages arising from cor
rect systems of cultivating the soil and
sound judgment in raising stock. Each
farmer learns something from the ex-
perience of all the other farmers, and all
NAV thus derive valuable information
which would otherwise cost much labor,
loss of time, and outlay of money. The
Fair brings the farmers into communi-

relations and contributes largely to the
happiness, general refinement, and mu-
tual benefit of all. Viewed in any light,
therefore, County Fairs are deserving of
every encouragement. Every person
should contribute something towards
making them successful in every depart
ment and as whole. The ladies are
invaluable contributors at all Fairs.
They give cheerfulness, variety and
beauty to the exhibitions by their contri-
buttons of flowers, needle-work, and the
thousand other products Of their genius

An Astonishing Fix.

OLD Mr. Mugride, who has a cottage up
at Shadynook invited few Of his friends
to go up and stay awhile and enjoy the
country air. AS they were all fond of
good beer, he sent up a keg of new ale to
be put in the cellar and kept until his al
rival. Saturday afternoon he ard his
friends went up. After opening the par
lOrs and making things comfortable, he
thought little beer wouldn't go bad; so
taking his gimlet and lantern, he went
down to fill the flowing bowl. Arrived in
the cellar, he found that the keg was
leaking through an old vent, so getting
his lantern down, he commenced to tap
it, putting one of his thumbs over the
leak; but finding that the light wasn't
good where the lantern set he took the
handle of it in his mouth and continued
boring. Pretty soon the gimlet went
through, and the beer came out whiZzing (;
and as he had neglected to make plug,
he had to put his other thumb over it. He
had the beer all snug enough, but discov-
cred that he himself was in fix-he must
either stay so or lose the beer. His mouth
being in use, prevented his calling
anybody. He turned his head to
the left, then to the right, and
then he would drop it in de-
vOtlonal manner, and make noise be-
tween a snort and a growl. About this
time he began to feel something damp
under him, and found, by Investigating,
that he was sitting-in in pan of soft soap.
Above him he could hear his friends en-
ioying themselves in the parlor, playing
the piano, and his daughter singing
Father, dear Father, come home with me
now," followed by "Thou art so near and
yet so far" His jaws began to ache hold
ing the lantern, and the drool was run
ming out of each corner of his mouth,
which made him nearly frantic. His feet
and legs ached, too, from the cramped po-
sition which he was in, and he had de.
cided to let the beer slide, when he heard
footsteps approach which proved to be the
servant girl coming down after coal, AS
soon as she caught sight of him she drop

ped the coal-hod, which fell into tub
containing nest of pet kittens, killing
three of them and causing the old cat to
light out up the stairs, landing in a pan
behind the stove. The loss of his pets
made the old man so irate as to drop his
lantern and rehearse that part of the die
tionary which is left out. After scraping
off the soap as we'll as he could, he wend-
ed his way up the back stairs to his room
and changed his raiment. Returning to
the parlor, he told his friends that he had
been out to see man-D0n6at1y NeaoS.

KENTUCKY has responded to the

of affairs in tho latter State. Cover
nor Leslie, of Kentucky, in Il message
to the Legislature of that Common
wealth, says : ssThe cause of the
people of Louisiana is our cause, Tor
their danger is our danger. The bit
ter cup which they drink to-day may
be soon commended to our lips. To
abandon her is to abandon the common
cause of State Rights. If the great
wrong which has been perpetrated
against her shall pass unchallenged
and unredressed now, it may serve as
q precedent to render resistance to
similar encroachments more difficult
in the future" In conclusion, Gov
ernor Leslie remarks: 81 therefore
recommend that respectful but earn
est and solemn protest against the un-
warrantable intervention OF Federal
authority in the State of Louisiana, be
prepared and uttered by the General
Assembly of the State of Kentucky, III

Congress. of the United States, and

THENEW YORK HERALD CUBAN
cow WHATSOEVER.

Mr.. O'Kelley who is now creating
the latest Herald sensation by lying III
q Cuban Jail, seemingly, at least, III
great danger of losing his life, has the
fortune, good or bad, to be British
subject and not an American citizen.
According to our understanding OF the
matter, the danger surrounding the
Herald Commissioner is much over
rated. There seems so little ground
work in the facts of the case for charg-
ing Mr.. O'Kelley with being a spy, that
it will scarcely be attempted to dis
pose of him even by military court
upon any such pretence. His mission
is well known. He is known news
paper correspondent who had been
in the insurrectionary districts, and
who when arrested, was seeking tne
quickest way out of the country and
back to his employees. Ii he was liable
to the charge of being spy at all, 1t
would seem that the Insurgents rather
than the Government ought to have ar
rested him. We cannot think that he
is in any danger of being treated as
spy. It is possible that he may have
in some way identified himself with the
Insurgents and have thereby rendered
himself liable to the penalties OF the
law but even if this be true, it by nc
means follows that he will be put tc
death. The truth is, doubtless, that
having been ordered by the Captain
General not to return to the loyal dis
tricts, he is being punished by imprls
onment for his disobedience.

the obligation of the contract is I'M
paired by the Homestead exemption.
And whereaa debtor has nothing be-
side this exempted property to pay Il
pre-existing debt, the contract cannot
he enforced, and the obligation is not
only impaired, but entirely dest Dyed.
In the course of his opinion, Pearson
says:
States decisions have been made srs-
tanning Homestead laws. These cases
all rest on the fallacy of assuming the
power to make exemptions to some ex-
tent, and then, in the idea of Legisla-
tive discretion, the amount is swelled
up to thousands and it is justified on
the ground of excepting pace with the
progress of the age" "a progress in
this particular, I fear, of dishonesty
and fraud"
The same question came up before
Judge Brooks, of the United States
District Court, who held with Judge
Pearson, that the exemptions i'll our
Constitution did not apply to debts
which had been made before the Con-
stitution went into effect, but were
only valid against debts contracted sub
sequently.
The case from Georgia decided in
the Supreme Court of the United
States at it's present term sIlstains the
| principle maintained by Judges Pear.
| son and Brooks, that Homestead ex
| emptions have no retroactive effect
that they cannot apply to contracts
made before such exemptions were
adopted as the law of the land.
