Newbern, Dec. %, 1878.

We are obliged to our friend "Rad-
ical" for thus cour teously calling our
attention to a blunder as inexcusab bic
as that Of which we made complaint
against the Republicans ofthe Senate,
except that it was matter of less
consequence, and was the result of
haste and heedlessness, and not de-
Iiberate intention. Knowing that
here were a number of Republ lean
Senators who entirely disapproved
of and condemned Senator Carpen-
ter's course in reference to the salary
increase and back-pay measure, we
were compelled to express surprise
at this end orsement without protest
from the Republican side, and con-
cluded that there must be some ex-
PLANTATION or excuse for either the si
lence or apparently inconsistent votes
OF these Senators. Tus far we have
seen nothing approaching satisfac-
tory apology.

Our neighbor is careful to withhold
from his readers the facts that this
" ringer" was q Democrat, and that
the Tribune, the ringers" organ,
was Liberal organ in I'd and a
Reform organ this year; that the
Tribune is Mccormack political Re-
form bible to-day, and that it sup
ported this "ringer" for election,
knowing of his defalcation at the
time. Tell it all, Nc. Cry out
against Democratic Liberal Reform

the people are being robbed. Tell
US of every defalcation and wrong,

Value of Agricultural Papers.

he bore testimony to the value of ag
riculturaI papers as follows:
''There are one Or two points !
would Ike to impress iorcibly upon
yourminds. Every farmer in Oregon,
every farmer in the United States,
every farmer in the world ought to
take at least one agricultural paper,
and read it, and make every capable
member of his family read it. Every
man who owns or cultivates 4 rod OF
ground ought to tako one. Frequent
ly little paragraph of half a dozen
lines Will be worth more to him than
twenty years cost of the paper. It is
a great help to any man 20 have the
benefit of other mems experience to
add TO his Own, and that Is precisely
what he'gets byreadingthese excellent
papers. And not only this, but he
is likely to get the experience Of the
brightest snd ablest farmers in the
country, for these are the men who
usually contribute to them. They
have done more for the Improvement
of farming than even exhibitions. l
will venture to say, if there were no
such publications, You would have no
agricultural societies, ard no shows,
