The Farmers' Secret Political
Society.

There is n secret political society Of
farmers, which has already attained for
midable dimensions in all the Western
States. 1t is spreading rapidly in Ohio
Its object is to benefit the aricultural
population, and to see why its industry
is not renumerative in proportion to 9th
er classes. A well-known farmer in an
adjoining county, at a meeting of agri
culturist, held up a one-hundred-dollar
bill, and offered il to any one who would
come forward and swear that for the last
two years, in Southern Ohio, he had
been able to make both ends meet. Not
single man awaited himself of the op.
portunity.
The troubles under which the Western
and Southern agriculturist labor are to a
great extent, the effects of legislation,
which by a little investigation that they
propose to set on foot, they are bound to
discover. In the first place, why should
money invested in farms be taxed, and
at the same time money invested in
United States bonds be exempt from it?
In the next place, while none of the far
mers' products, such as wheat; corn, pc.
tatoes, &c, are protected by any tariff,
why should he be compelled to pay
double and treble prices for his hoes,
plows, axer, reapers, aud all other agri.
cultural implements, in order to benefit
the iron and steel interests in Pcnnsylva.
MIA? Thirdly. why should nc be obliged
to pay Massachusetts cotton and woolen
manufacturers n far greater price than
he could obtain for other and far better
articles in Europe? Fousihly, why
should the salt which he puts upon his
beef, pork, and butter be taxed over one
hundred per cent, while the New Eng
land fisherman gets his free Of duty
Fifth, why should the Government,
by paying an exhorbitant interest in
bonds, when large portion of its indebt-
ness could be taken by the people with
out interest, oblige the farmer to borrow
it at the same rate, or go without accom-
mediation of that character? Why
should the salaries of public officers be
largely increasd, when it is so difficult
for the farmer to make his expenditures
and his receipts balance one another?
Why should the local freights on
railroads, ON farmers products, be Of
such an exhorbitant nature, and thus
deprive the agriculturist from availing
himself of the prices in different markets
remote from his residence? Why should
there be such stealing, corruption and
robbery in all the branches of legislation
at the expense of the farmerS These are
a few of the questions that will come up
before the agriculturist in body, where
they will see them without being biased
by partisan prejudice and association
The agricultural interest is the great
source of all our wealth. Two-thirds of
all the people OF the United States are
engaged in it. Upon its prosperity de-
pends that of all other classes. - C1leiaa-

THE SENATORIAL CANVASS.

on honuaN itcts tht ntNtioi Nah'''"e'S
for the Office of State Senator addressed
the citizens Of Lincoln county at the
courthouse in this place. The audience
was large and attentive. composed in the
main of the substantial, intelligent farm
ers of the county, who manifested a
proper solicitude in determining for
themselves, which of the three aspirants
possessed the greatest amount Of fitness
for the position to which they severahy
aspired. The concession between them is
mutual, that each one is unobjectionable
to the party of which he is a member,
so far as his personal and political status
is concerned. Their relations are in every
respect friendly and even cordial. Their
only spirit of rivalry crops out in the
opposing convictions, entertained by each
one, of superior fitness, by force of cir
stances, to represent and promote the
interests they would have in charge as
Senator's from the Eighteenth Senatorial
District.
Col. Bowman, of Boyle, first spoke,
prefacing somewhat lengthy address
with few scraps of good wit and hui
NOR, but soon glided into sober, digni-
fed and sensible speech. He is agentle-
man of mature age, fluent talker, pos
sessing well-trained mind, which he
has carefully stored with a stock Of po-
lilical and general information, and ca
pable of rendering efficient service in
the important matter of legislation.
He was followed by Mr.. Bruce, Of
Garrard, younger gentleman, whose
experience as public speaker seems to
be limited, but whose good sense and
well balanced judgment are not at dis
count. His remarks were brief, but
both pertinent and pointed. With the
advantage of larger experience, based
upon his sterling qualities as gentleman
of probity and good native intellect he
woul;,be able to manifest proper capa-
bility in any position of trust he would
be willing to accept.
Mr.. Varnon, being on his native heath,
spoke last. To this community he Is
well and favorably known by reason oil
almost lifetime association. 1t Is
common to say of good man, that his
honesty is proverbial; il would be I'M
common to say otherwise Of Mr.. Var
non. He is mature in years and ripe in
legislative experience. How often and
how long he has given service to his
county and State in the General Assem-
bly, of Kentucky we know not. AT
present he is the member from this
county, and charged mainly with the
onerous duties of statutory revision
His discretion and judgment as lawyer
have caused his appointment upon
those committees which demand his time
and tax the best energies Of his mind.
For this reason it vii, be impossible for
him to give his attention to the earlier
stages Of the canvass.
These gentleman are all willing to sub
nit the question of their candidacy to the
action of the Democratic party. Until
the Convention is holden which shall de-
eide between them, we counsel that spirit
of moderation and freedom from bitter
iealousies which each one ardently de-
sires, to the end that personal luminosity
shall not be engendered, nor complete
harmony for final action be endangered.

The BLACK CRooK.-We confess to being
very agreeably disappointed at the rendition of
the Black Crook last evening, for we did
not suppose that spectacular darma requiring
such large and expensive scenery could be put
upon the boards at Music Hall. 1t was
given, however, in magnificent shape. The
scenery is by far the best that was ever brought
into this city, the transfer nations are superb,
and the ballet exquisite. The orchestra is I'M
usually good. Space does not permit us to give
anything like review of the play, but we
mention, as particularly worthy of note, the
serpent's glen, with the fearful incarnation
scene, the golden grotto, the crystal cascade,
pandemonium, and the palace of dewdrops.
The ballet, consisting of upwards of forty dam
GERS was the very perfection of the poetry of
motion. The dancing of the eight Coryphees
and of Satanella was simply perfect. The
grand march of the Amazons was also very
fine. The grotesque submarine monsters ana
Hartz Mountain demons were horribly funny
The acrobatic portion of the performance, by
the wonderful Snow brothers, was unsurpass-
able in the gymnastic line, while the trained
dogs did wonderfully. The lightning Zouave
drill was another fine feature of the entertain
ment. One great merit of the play is that
there are no indecent nor even broad illusions
from the first scene to the last. OF course it
belongs to the "leg drama class, and the dis
play OF these very useful perambulating men,
bers is lavish, as it is in all ballots.
The hall was crowded to repletion last even
