ALREADY it is whispered around in
very select circles that pipe-laying has
commenced for the next municipal
election, nearly a year hence. One
or two gentlemen are named as pos
sible candidates for Mayor, and two,
at least, for City Tax Collector. This is
rather early, gentlemen, but there is
nothing like getting a good start. The
foremost man on election day is almost
sure to win, and that is all that is dehn-
itely known on the subject at this writ

A RrsoLuTIoS was adopted In the
House yesterday to adjourn one week
from next Saturday. The Senate will
doubtless concur, and all the msmhers
will have an opportunity to mingle With
their constituents and receive sugges'
tons touching the various important bills
introduced during the session. Our own
members will also have an opportunity
of attending Mardi.Gras aud taking a
little rest after their severe labors. The
Shelley delegation, we are glad to learn
are noted in the Legislature for their
close application TO business and a lio'
eral policy toward the various elements
constituting the Legislature hence
their influence aud the attention paid al
the measures they have introduced. The
people would be glad to see them home a
few days, to learn what has really been
done or will probably be accomplished.

INVESTIGATION is the order Of the day.
Senator PomeIoy's case is next in order,
having denied the charge Of bribery,
and demanded committee, which was
appointed to whitewash him in that sin
gle charge. A resolution was offered
yesterday to extend the powers Of the
committee to the friends and agents that
assisted him. This reused the ire of
the illustrious Nye and others on that
side of the question. Nye said excitedly
that they had had enough Of these in
vestigations. Enough Of theml He de-
nounced York roundly, and several
other Senators took hand ct the same
exhilarating exercise. York caught it
on all sides. The Senators have a
thorough contempt for an infOrmer who
would betray friend, and thereby de-
stroy the correct value Of the old saying
that there is honor among thieves. y
Finally the committee was directed to
inquire into any allegations Of bribery
or corruption by said Pomeroy.

Turner's SOUTH BEND ASSUAL-We
mention this publication to show how
other cities are advertised. South Bend
is a small city Of Indiana, yet its citi-
zens are enterprising enough to adver-
tise its advantages abroad in a way that
must bring a profitable return. The
pamphlet before us is devoted chiefly to
a description Of the various manufacto-
ries Of the place, the wagon shops, pa
per mills, brass and iron founderies,
marble works, woolon mills, brick-yards,
various machine shops, big blocks, edu-
cational advantages. printing houses,
patent plows, bookstores, furniture man
ufacturing companies, and the various
other features Of the place. In a word,
il is a business review Of South Bend.
Cities and communities that thus let the
outside world know what they are doing
secure constant accessions Of skilled
labor. capital aud good citizens.

From written advertisements we sec
that it is proposed to hold a public meet
ing at Bcthpagc Meeting House, on Elk
River, near Estill Springs, Saturday Eve
ming, 30tll inst, at , o'clock, p. H., to in
t~erchangc ideas and gather all the inform
alton possible on the subject OF Il society,
or organization, of farmers, called Patrons
of IIusbandry, which seems to be rapidly
spreading over the country, and is favora-
bly, spoken of by all newspapers devoted
to agriculture. The advertisement goes
on to say :"All engaged III farming are in
tcrcstcd in this meeting, and as a society
cannot be formed without a due proper
ton of females the ladies are expected and
desired to attend the meeting"
This meeting will inauguratc, we guess,
what is popularity known as a Grange
Franklin county will then be incorporated
into the movement which has been agita.
ting the public mind for some time. We
have not said anything about the matter
heretofore, because we knew nothing OF
the objects contemplated. But this much
is apparent now: the movement is in the
intcrts st of the farmers and is acquiring a
powerful momentum in most every State
All we have to say is that farmers rs a
class have rs good II right to protect them
selves by combination as have any other
men, and we think the proposed meeting
merits a large attendance.
