The War Of the Farmers.

The Grange movement has at last
shown practical results. Throughout
the South we have seen the powerful
impetus it has given to white immigra-
tion and more extensive sowing OF
cereals. And now in the West we
have seen its power over transporta-
ton. The Wisconsin Legislature have
just passed a bill providing that the
principal railroads shall charge only J
cents per mile for passengers; for grain
in car loads 6 cents per hundred pounds
for the first . miles, 4 cents for the
second. and cents for every addition
al % miles. Penalties for violation
are severe; the State providing &c.
600 for prosecution of those who VIC.
late the law. In Iowa a similar bill
has passed the Legislature, regulating
the rates of both passenger fare and
freights. The Iowa bill permits class
coaches, with different rates. The vie.
tory in Wisconsin has not been entire
ly complete. An attempt to enact 1
measure reducing the price of storage
from 2 cents per bushel to l cent wa
vigorously opposed by the railroads
which own the warehouses, and wa.
virtually killed, the bill having beer
indefinitely postponed.

Wheat In East Tennessee.

The wheat crop in East Tennessee
was never so promising of beautiful
yield. We have reports from gentle
man who has recently visited all the
counties of that division of the State,
and he says the crops are everywhere
large, and promises an abundant har-
vest. The soil and climate of East
Tennessee are well adapted to wheat
culture, and we are gratified at their
fine prospects for a large crop. The
farmers are also, in most sections, pay
ing more attention to improved cul-
ture, and consequently are reaping the
benefits of their enterprise and public
spirit.

Papa dear, papa dear,
Listen to your Bertie's song;
She has laughed, she has played,
All the bright day long,
Now she's going TO her rest,
Thinking sfiIl-neyer fear
OF her papa dear.
Winds blow loud ,suow-dakes fall,
Darkness gathers over all
snug and warm IL her nest,
Berthe goes to ner rest.
Dollies all are sound asleep.
Little % CHIP" will vigils keep.
Tired at last, eyelids fall,
Silence over ali.
Jesus kind. Jesus mild,
Bless a little loving child
Keen them safe, free from i'll, u
Whom she doves so Welt - SO

Keep them safely through the night

National Agricultural Consress.

ATLANTA, GA, Nay 15.-The Committee
on Transportation Of the Agricultural Con.
gress reported to-day that, while recognizing
the value Of railroads and the necessity for
their further extension, deem the cost OF
transportatng crude products of field,
forest, and mine so disproportionate to the
cost OF water carriage IS to render it the i'm
perative duty Of the United States Congress
10 improve the rivers in the interior, con-
meet them with the ocean by artificial water
WAYS. giving the Mississippi Valley 4 con-
tnuous water transit TO the seaboard; that
il is the duty Of the Government to enter at
once upon the work Of constructing artificial
waterways adequate TO the present prospec-
tive demands OF inland transportation, and
| continue it by annual instruments OF aid un-
| Ill uninterrupted channels of trade are
opened not only through the Mississippi
Valley but connecting that river with the
Atlantic ocean rid tie lakes, vSa the Ohio
and James rivers, and rtd the Atlantic and
Gre2t Western road.
The report was unanimously adopted.
Resolutions were adopted declaring that
the Agricultural Congress believes that it is
within the power OF the people to reform
the corporate transportation system by the
same agencies which created them--YiZ.,
State legislation, which is controlled by pub
lie opinion; opposing any legislation under
the plea of regulating commerce between
States which interferes with the authority
heretofore exercised by q State over rail-
roads entirely within or passing out OF her
borders.
D. Wyatt Aiken, Of South Carolns, was
appointed to memorialize Congress on the
subject Of revision OF the patent laws.
The Committee on Scientific Industrial
Education reported, recommending that the
Government appropriate one-half OF the net
proceeds from the sale Of public lands to
agricultural colleges organized under the act
OF 1862. Adopted.
The Committee on Tobacco-Tax recon-
mends that the Government reduce the same
to uniform tax Of y cents per pound, and
that articles which are imported and used in
the manufacture Of tobacco shall come duty
free. Adopted.
A committee was appointed on these sub
jects to present them to Congress.
General jackson was reelected president,
and {. W. Green secretary.
Cincinnati was selected as the next place
Of meeting.
The Congress was lanqucttcd at the Fair
Grounds this afternoon. \ large number OF
ladies and citizens were present.

BAXTER RECOGNIZED As THE LAWFUL EXECUTIVE.
WASHINGTON, May 15.-Attorney General
Williams has given an opinion in the Arkan-
sas matter, referred to him by the President.
He say. it would be disastrous to allow the
proceedings by which Brooks obtained pos
session of the office to be drawn into prece-
don't. There is not State in the Union in
which they would not produce conflict and
probably bloodshed. They cannot be up
held or justified upon any ground. and IN
hi. opinion Elisha Baxter should be reeog-

The President will to-day issue procla-
nation in accordance with this opinion.
