Tho prospect for the farmer on the
whole can be regarded Is favorable.
Although . few branches Of industry
may fall below the average Of pre-
vious years, there are enough that
promise better than usual to render
farms this year uncommonly produc-
tive in the northern states Winter
wheat, as far as can be judged now,
is below an average, and far below the
status Of last spring. In the South,
generally, the prospects are quite fat
tering, and the crop secure against all
probable contingencies except rust.
A very small portion has been killed
by the winter, and especially is that
seeded by drills secure. Prompt ger
mination and vigorous growth have
followed the winter rains, and, if no
expected blight falls upon 1.-THE south
ern states will yield crop of wheat
considerably above an average.
The status of farm animals, through
out the whole country, is better than
the average for series Of years. The
winter has been severe, and some have
died from scarcity of food; but no
disease has been among them, and
herds are now in healthy condition,
prepared to revive on summer pastur-
age. The condition of sheep is re-
ported to be better than that Of cattle.
Farmers have generally become aware
that sheep need care and shelter, and
especially separation. Reports show
tuat where the latter has been attend
Ell to, the increase in lambs aud yield
OF wool is much heavier.
Swine in the west have been I'M
usually free from disease, and, although
it has preycd upon them to some ex-
tent in the east, it is not SO formidable
rs last year. In every respect there
i, encouragement to The farmer, and
unless some unlocked for blight comes
upon crops, the season will DO al I'M
usually productive one.

AMERICAN CARDINAL.

Scarcely SIX mOutnS passes away
in which we are not called upon to
to note the rejoicing of our people
over the arrival of some foreign
potentate. The last decade has
been especially lnalsked by such ar
rivals. and none the less character
lied by the general admiration
which our people show for lofty
titles, however empty they may be.
Several times has our country been
visited in rapid succession by Euro
pean princes, and as often have our
leading papers We'd with each other
in proclaining their h nor, and our
principal cities have not only tried
to pay them respect but have felt
honored by their visitation. Judg-
ing from this America, the eldest
born child Of freedom, has yet a
wild love for some title of royalty.
The chief magistrate Of our own
country passes through our cities
scarcely noticed, but if the child of
a foreign monarch, however disso-
solute or void of merit, our people
throng to pay him homage. And
yet we love to repeat and boast that
clause in the foundation of our
government, that makes all men
created equal, and allows them to
gain position only Oh account of
superior virtue which they possess.
judging from the imposing cere-
mony, that attended the bestowal of
the bele,ta on Arc bishop Met loshy
last week, the p' opie OF NV York
rejoice to have an ecclesiastical
prince among them, and their en-
thusiasn on that occasion shows u
passion for high titles OF religious,
AS strong as that OF kingly dignity
These demonstrations prove a grow
ing weakness in the American peo-
pie, AMI show how easily unre-
strained power might seize upon
them. We have encouraged mou-
archy by every tribute that u nation
could give to it, and now when
Rome has created in our midst u
representation of the divine mon
archial idea we rejoice, and the
nation hail the creation with APP
plause. Every encouragement Of
this kind will strengthen papal
power in America, and it must have
already occurred to hundreds across
the sea that this country contains
such fertility for nouri>hing lofty
titles that the germs of either royai-
ty or papacy if planted would
obtain vigorous growth.

FEMALE FRANCHISE IN ENGLAND.

In 1868 o bin was introduced in
Parliament ''ior the removal of the
electoral disabilities of women" With
this bill were presented, in favor Of
its passage, sventyfive petitions con
tanning $4,000 signatures. The next
year 257 petitions were presented with
l26,4 75 signatures, and since the last
meeting of Parliament, though only
two months have elapsed, there have
been 1000 petitions presented with
239, 200 signatures. There has been
no question before Parliament for
many years that has made such rapid
progress in so short time. A year
ago several boroughs OF Scotland
objected to the passage of it. This
year not single district of Scotland
has opposed it, while thirteen town
councils have petitioned in its favor.
1t has been advocated by the leaders
Of the nation, and is now supported
by such statesmen as Disraeli, Adder
sly and Elphinstoue. A short time
ago it was brought up in Parliament,
and after spirited debate, was lost.
Its advocates will propose it again
next year, and il it grows in public
favor during the coming year as it has
heretofore, it will sand fair chance
of becoming a law.
The turn which t is much mooted
question takes in England will have
its iniiuence apon the same III this
country; and it may be we will have o
chance to benefit from her failure in
this, as we have done in thousand
other things. Since the "ureat Scan
dal' began the clamors for social re-
form in this country have been hushea,
from the fact that the advocates OF
such reform are SO deeply invoived IN
the trial, that there is no time to adj
vocate the rights of woman, and if
there were, the character OF the strong
est votaries to such has been exposed
SO fully, that the best of them could
scarcely procure AN audience in re-
spectacle city. However wise such o
reform might be, it has received
check that will probably weaken its
propress, in America insomuch that
England will doubles take the step in
advance If us, giving this country q
chance to profit by her example.

THEY POISON IN JEST

The Picdyune gives Us most innocent
explanation of the transactions which led
to the arrest of young man on the
charge of attempting to bride two
members of the Legislature. It is
set down as a mere jest, q bit of
fun on the part of several of the
late clerks of the Returning Board, who
shave been in the habit of spending
portion of the day in lettering around the
State House." looking for larks. Among
other witty pastimes INDUCED in by these
sportive youngsters was that of putting
estimates Upon the value of the integrity
of the members of the House, and as the
legend runs, when dispute arose among
them, they would generally delegate one
of their number to ask the object of their
jest the price at which he was willing to
sell himself. Hons. Henry Demas and
Milton Jones resented the impertinence by
promptly ordering the arrest of the young
man sent to guy them, upon the charge o.
violating penal statute.
We express no opinion as to the guilt or
innocence of the person who has been ar
rested. But we advise his counsel to rest
his defense upon some more substantial
basis than that given by the Picaynne. A
clark" is not protected by statute, and
poisoning in jest" has been considered a
crime for several centuries.

NEW ORLEANS REPUBLICAN, SATURDAY JANUARY Is 1875

havior ''to the noble army of knights
Templar from every State in the Union
who recently visited our CITY," Grand
Master Hopkins grati6ed the White
Leaguers with a rather equivocal certif-
cate of character, which, however, was
construed as complimentary, and tri-
umphantly paraded as the opinions of an
impartial gentleman of very high stand
ing. Doubtless Mr.. Hopkins believed in
the limited testimonial he left, in consid-
GRAFTON of having been personally well
treated while here, but it is of decidedly
negative character; and more personal
than general. If he had found himself in
hostile camp, where he was treated with
courtesy and politeness, he would most
likely have borne similar testimony rela-
tive to his entertainers. But as he did
not return to the city after the company
clothes and manners had been laid aside,
his opinions can not be taken to extend to |
every day life.

Hopkins has been elected member of

STAND STEADY!

It will be seen by reference to our
telegraphic columns this morning that in
caucus of Republican Senators it was
decided with great unanimity to stand by
the President in his action regarding
Louisiana, and that immediate steps
should be taken by the Senate to recognize
officially the Kellogg government. It
will also be seen the sub committee which
recently skinned the surface of our
political cauldron has been snubbed to
the extent that the entire congressional
committee on Louisiana affairs will leave
Immediately for New Orleans, and enter
into thorough investigation of our
troubles. These facts should encourage
our friends to stand steady, and enter
into no compromises which might weak
en- their position. They are better able
to get along without their Democratic
friends than the Democrats are to get
along without them. and they should feel
comfortable under sense of this knowl-
edge.

SENATOR LOGAN'S SPEECH.

/ This noble champion of Republicanism
has just rendered Louisiana substanti al
service and placed our people under a
lasting sense of gratitude by his mastery
speech in the Senate. He comprehends
the situation perfectly. He recognizes
in the present disturbed condition of the
South the smouldering embers Of the re-
bellion, ready to burst out the moment it
may be deemed safe to throw off the
rather gauzy mask of loyalty under which
it is now sought to shroud actions which
would not thrive in the full light of day.
He invaded Georgia in rough shod style.
and showed up some election tables in
that State which are first cousin to some
of our own. IN one congressional district
there were fourteen Republican votes cast
out OF an aggregate Of sixty-four thou
sand. Poor old Mr.. Gordon attempted to
explain this disgrace away by assuring the
Senate that there were no Republican
candidates in the field. but he never can
give any reason creditable to Georgia why
there were none. 1t probably would not
be q very healthy, certainly not profta-
bic employment. to run 70. Office on Re.

As farce to come after the grand per.

speech came up. Were il not for the dis.
graceful fact that he is an American
Senator, in name. and q babbling idiot in
fact. his buffoonery would be permitted
to pass without notice. There was about
as much effect to his effort as would be
the swapping Of poodle at the rear end
of railroad train. He fattered himself
at one point in his harrangue that Morton
and Logan were consulting to prepare a
reply. and received for answer that they
were not minding him at all. Poor
