The Agricultural Congress, which has
been in session at Atlanta, Georgia, has re-
solved that the coral reef and the beehive be
part of their symbolic language. 1t is not
quite clear what this means, but if the con-
gregated farmers mean to liken thems elves to
bees and coral insects they are peculiarly
unfortunate in their selection of exemplars.
The scientists now claim that the lee is a
very stupid bug indeed, and everybody knews
that the coral insect has to die in order to
become in any way useful.

Thy close, narrow walls were no refuge to me,
And the man who once shaved there was after a
scorner.
Thus the Knight of the Razor sung proudly ard

Must bend to his work in the close-stifed room,
For he speaks, and all Portland proclaims him the

Thy glo m and thy darkness oershadowed us long,
And had we sweet roses never would weave thee
garland-or give you place in our song

But the error was none the less vital because
it was pardonable. If in that critical moment
the conventions had given US Schultz or Steb-
bins-in short MAN, instead of garrulous old
woman-we should have had, long before this
time, frugally governed, clearly, orderly,
peaceful, happy city. A good Mayor was the
supreme want of that eventful hour. 1t was
the turning point in the great battle for refor-
nation. The opportunity was lost, the Re-
form columns were broken and scattered and
the metropolis of America falls back again in
to her old condition of pitiable helplessness,
her Taxpayers bearing intolerable burdens, and
her treasury preyed upon by political adven-
turers, rendered less apprehensive of interfer-
ence from future uprisings of the people, by
the utter collapse of the last one.
Some of the recent performances of the ex.

This measure was adopted after consultation

RAiSRY, the colored congressman lroln
South Caroliua, is reported ODE pret'l'n5
| speech claiming for the Indiah tne sane
rights that the negro enjoys. 1t Is quite d
stcn in the career of the negro that MAKES
hin, nstron OF the Indian but we canuet
sunpose that the Indian will be proud OF the
relation.
The amusing part of the proposed speech
~ RA1sBY is his remedy for difficulties with
the Indians. He will propose that they shall
be placed upon equality with the negro, shall
have the vote and the right to Office, to ride
in the cars, and to cat and sleep Ia the hotels
with white folks! This, he will argue, Will
establish peace with the Indians. RA1sBr
evidently knows nothing about the In
dian. He will not deem these privileges as
for his wrongs. and with
his proud heart will remain stern and un'
bending, cherisbiug his wrongs, and espe'
cially treasuring the feeling Of revenge for the
pressure that keeps him "moving on" and
will continue to do so until he sinks to rest
IN the Pacific ocean. The colored congress
man is as little suited to treat the Indian
character as would be the gorilla for demon
STATIONS in comparative anatomy.
That the Indian would not be satisfied
with what so pleases the negro is the great
point of difference between them. The
negro endeavors to force himself into the So
ciety of white people, where he must ever
be inferior and subordinated in effect to
master. The Indian is too proud to ask for
anything ut the hands of the white man,
and will not live with him in position Of
inferiority and comparative degradation. 1t
is sad that being o: so much uobleness Is
doomed to die out.

CRIMINAL CHARGRs.-We are surprised TO
hear that the proposition to require each
county to pay the expenses of its criminal
trials meets with favor In the Legislature.
In it's practical results it will work great in
Justice. Beard, stranger, passes though
Cumberland county and steals horse. After
a protracted and expensive trial, he is con-
yicted. He escapes, and is captured at great
cost. Now, we submit that it is injustice to
make Cumberland county pay thislarge bill Of
costs. Her own citizens are obedient to law,
and stranger violates law and is arrested and
tried BIZ the Communicating Virginia, the
county of Cumberland being no party on tho
record. Can it he right that she should pay
for the crimes committed by people Of other
countiesi If an offender from Rockingham
or Augusta county becomes liable to prose
cution for crime committed in Prince Ed
ward and before Prince Edward tribunal,
must this county pay for the injury thus
done to her people and to public morals.
We trust that wise counsel will prevail in
Richmond, and that no such impracticable
and unjust law will be enacted FarmviAe
