Individual and Corporate Consciences.
For the Ottawa Free Trader


In well regulated form Of government,
nothing should be presumed in favor Of any.
"All should be stretched on the same iron
bed" The test of merit should be the capac.
ity to serve in the new vocation. Because a
man has been unsuccessful in trade, has been
a member of Congress, or has commanded a
regiment in the Mexican war or the late re-
bellion, is no reason why his acts should be
placed above suspicion or inquiry, nor why he
should be allotced to preserve mysterious 81
leuce in his various functions. Accountable
ity in every department of government
should be enforced in the most rigid manner,
and neither titles nor reputation should sane
ton the employment of incompetentmen any
more that a fine coat of paint should justify
the use of an imperfect or unsafe wheel or
axle of railroad car or locomotive. Intelli-
gerce and integrity are the qualities necessa-
~ for the management of human institutions.
Those who argue and contend for and
against existing evils should remember that
men taken at random from any class would,
in all probability, behave much in the same
way when placed in like positions. There
are some unquestionably dishonest; there are
Others whose standard of honor is far higher
than that of most; and as for the rest, they
are, we doubt not, as good as the mass. OF
the various official agents, such as engineers,
congressional agents, lawyers contractors
and others concerned, it may be said that
though daily custom has encouraged laXity OF
principle yet we would harshly judge them
were the transactions that may be recorded
against them used rs measures.
1t is a highly instructive subject to nvesti-
gate how, in the present involved affairs, the
most inequitable results may be wrought out
by men not correspondingly of an evil incli-
nation. BY observing human action on a
comprehensive scale there is the familiar fact
that the corporate conscience is inferior to
that of the individual for Il body of men will
commit as Joint act that which every one of
them would shrink from did he think him
self responsible. Do we not sec that broad
braced corporate body scarcely feels what
would be ruinous to private persons: Dove
not see that this leads them to show a grasp
ingness and want of principle foreign TO their
individual behavior? This weakens the re-
straint on wrong doing. An effect good or
bad that is immediate and clearly apprchend-
ed, influences conduct far more powerfully
than an effect that has to he traced through a
long series of law books. Our whole sys-
TEN of justice proceeds on the principle of
invariably enforcing an ordained course
regardless of special results. Delinquencies
are not wrought out by any one man or group
of men but by the combined sclt:interest OF
many men and groups of men.
1t is worthy of notice that while the scien-
tific intellect is systematizing most branches
of knowledge in the smallest possible vol
ume, jurisprudence is pursuing the opposite
extreme. Selfintcrcst directs intelligence to
its ends, ROBT. MCCONNELL.

From papers published in the Golden state
we gather few large items about small
things: The editor of the Santa Barbara H.
der saw, not long since, on the place of Mr..
Clark, at Montecito, IL dwarf pear tree thir-
teen inches high, looking rs proud and erect
as if its dimensions were Brobdignagian. 1t
is in its third year from ounce cutting, and
bore on its tiny branches five good sized
we'll developed pears, all of them fully ripen-
ened and picked at New Years. Mr.. Clark
has n peach tree in blossom, grown from the
seed since April, 1872, and on another tree is
a peach ripening in seventeen months from
the planting of the seed.
They have n sweet potato AT San Diego
which weighs twenty-five pounds and is three
feet in circumference
In February, 1872, Mr.. E. ID. Switzer, of
San Diego, planted II couple or orange seeds
in his garden. One of these seeds sprouted
and is now q tree several inches high. But
what is most remarkable, this tender twig
bears an orange which is perfect in every res
pect, and at present about the size OF an ordi
nary marble.
Mr. John Flack, of Healdsburg, Sonoma
County, has five trees of one variety of pears
and they bear annually five thousand pounds
Of fruit
Radshes are growing here now nearly two

SigaM.
4 correspondent Of the Alemdda Gazette
writing from Ventura county lately, said
" Contracts have been let for planting a good
many miles of live fence this winter. Most OF
this fence is to be of pepper trees. Some such
fence is already growing here, and when
three years old it turns any kind Of stock ex
cept hogs. With board or two at the bot
tom now and then where needed, itturns hogs
also. An experienced gardener contracts to
find seed and put this fence in for ten dollars
for one hundred and sixty rods, He warrants
living trees six feet high and not more
than six inches apart in any place. The far.
mer prepares the ground and keeps out the
weeds. 1t costs for lumber here, to put up Il
tolerably good fence around farm of one
hundred and sixty acres about one thousand
dollars, besides the labor and expense OF haul
ing and putting it up. A live pepper tree
fence will cost about forty dollars, and about
the same amount of labor required by the
other fence; besides, it will not burn, but is a
very great protection against fire, also against
heavy winds"
