FOR PLANTERS.

We are in receipt of the June num-
Der of the Southern Cultivator, from
which we extract the following words
in season for the farmers guidance:
CORN.
Early corn will be sslaid by" this
month, and peas ought, by all means,
to be broadcasted ut the last ploughing.
They will be early enough to mature,
but Il more important consideration is
the Improvement of the land. One
bushel of seed per acre is too little-l4
to bushels will answer. Let the peas
be thick enough to smother crab grass.
Our corn fields are the nurseries in
which this plant perfects its seeds and
fills our lands with them. If the crop
has been properly cultivated, and the
last ploughing is thorough mot deep,
and thick crop Of peas grown on the
land, it will be il, elegant order for Il
succeeding crOp-cfcan, mellow, and
filled with an abundance OF nitrogen.
COTTON.
Give it every opportunity to pusl,
forward and make weed now. Bring
to Il stand at once, If not already done,
and plough as often as practicnblc-
with sweep or cultivatOr where the
land is sandy or soft, with shovel where
it is hard and stiff. When cotton gets
fully under way developing fruit, the
workings may be at longer intervals
and increasingly shallow, IA it will
then he desirable to moderate the
growth of the plant.

Chicago has another club Psa1o1A7, tho
contractor who furnishes supplies 10 tho
county paupcrs, has undertaken to furnish
whisky and cigars to tho County Commits
sioners, and hs does it through tue medium
Of tho Union Club, IN institution of which
be is the solo progenitor, and which has been
organized and equipped with luxuries at his
own expense. 1t IL unlike the JeGsrsonian
or the Cosmopolitan Clubs neither SHORT
lair nor swallow-tail atfair, but sort OF
compromising balance between tho two,
n takc-frpm-eitEler, ns il were. While
tho Jefferxonians discuss ancient polit-
ical ethics, and the Cos1norohtans are
engaged In determining the quantity
Of ballots to be stuffed into the poll.boxcs at
the ensuing election, the Unious will settle
upon the contract percentages, the Court
House construction dividends, and other mat
ter-of.faet questions pertaining to the vel
fare Of the Club and its members. PEn1o1Ar.s
new enterprise ought to SUCCEED. Started
under auch auspices, and having such prac-
tica aims, We do not sea how anything can
check Its progress, excepting, possibly, the
Grand Jury.

II, az VIC havo said, fixed vnluo cnuld be
given to tue greenbncks, then n national cur
rency might we'll take the p1ace of bank paper
But tho latter haa already reached its n,asi
mum in amount. Despite the c'amor raised
! against the "NationoE bAnk monopoly" mud
despite the action of Congress- making hauk.
ing free, the amount of National nnnk circu.
latinn ia declining. The National banks of
Chicago hnve a capital Of $t2MlO, 600 and a
circulation Of only 81, 300, 00U, hnving reduced
the circulation within the Inst two ycary from
SG,Mo,0 or over 90 per cent.
There IL another tlelusion set forth in this
resolution, aud that Is, That it ths National
Banka wcro abolished tho Government
would save the interest now pa;d OH tho
bontls deposited to secure the circulation,
The bonds aro the private properly Of tho
banks. aud all they have to do IL to deposit
with tho Treasury an amount Of grrei,backs
cqnal to tho amount of their outstanding cur-
rency, nsl withdraw their bonds. How will
snch proceeding rave my tntercst to the
Government? The bonds vii! bear tho sn,no
interest iu the hands Of private individuals,
or In the hands Of the banks, rs they do
whom deposited IN the Treasury 10 seeuro
bank circulation. The banks now deposit,
In the form Of bouds 5ll7 in greenbacks to
securo the redemption Of every $40 of their
bank notes. They can accomplish the aalne
end by dopositing 800 in groenbacks with
the Treasurer md withdraw their bontls
The issue of greeubacks In place of bank
notes would save no interest unless tho
Government should purchase bonds with
them. In the purchase Of bouds,
Il the purchase WINS of such masni-
tnde as proposed, tho purchasing power
OF the greenback would rapidly fall from 81
cents OF the dollar at the present time to
such amount as the street-brolers or money!
dealcrs might choose to give for them. In
such a case the $3.50, ,O00, 200 of greenbacks
retained by the banks for tue redemption Of
their notes would not purchase s200. .o0O, 600
OF bouds, md tho saving of interest on
which would scarcely equal the taxes now
pAid to the Government by the banks. Tho
operation would also add :t10 000, 600 to the
national debt, for grcenback motto is debt
as well as is bond This would 10 costly
saving, unless. indeed, it is proposed to make
the greenbacks perpetual, never to b re-
deer1ea. aud Of course have the u,eventual1y

There III certainly the strongest reason for
appTehonding that the balloon ASCENSION of
day before yesterday has resulted disastrously,
The balloon must have come down somo
time during yesterday, even il 1t could haye
lasted so long. It Ia more likely that It
descended during tho night Of Thursday. It
was seen on Thursday evening, about
o'clock, going over tbs like In uorthcastesly
direction. 1t had then been out fully two
hours, aud, as it is estimated that one can
SEQ about ID miles On = clear evening acrosa
the lake, the balloon waa then making not
more than miles an hour. In the direction
1t was then going, 1t would have to traverse
from l60 to 200 miles before It could como
down on dry land. It is not believed that
tho balloon had sufficient capacity to hold
out moro than seven hours, even with
ballast Of from 800 to 1000 pounds
10 dispose Of. Unless 1t got into
different current Of air after It was seen
Thursday evening, II must hare come down
III the water, and then tho only hope OF es-
cape for the occupants would bs passing
vessel There WAS severe storm Thursday
night about 1880 o'clock, near the time
when the balloon, according to tho capacity
estimated above, would haya 10 deacend. II
1t did descend before or during the storm,
and into the lake, there was little chance for
the occupants with their vicker.basket aud
!'te.presesvsrs. II they had landed on the
Michigan or Wisconsin shore, or had been
picked up by vessel. there is strong prob.
ability that they would have been heard
from before this time. Taking all'shese olr.

Tho second etlitorinl OF the London Ti,uts
on tho centennial celebration of bunker. Hill
is in tho samo happy vein that marked tho
first. 1t WIS published Oh sl,o 1st inst, tho
day after long avd enthusiastic letter de-
Hcr1blng the days tloings at Boston appear
cd. The TINES rejoices in tho Revolution.
It speaks OF Lord EonTu'a unfortunate
attempt to retlnce tho Stntes to the rank of
Crown colonisz4," aud says that tho British
havo even more cause than We to exalt in
our victory, because they now have botl,
tho old country and the new principles con-
tended for nul established by the American
states." 1t sees, too, tho deep significance
Of the celebration. "Tho real beauty of the
spectacle WINS that there were seen together,
narsllaled III one procession to QUO nation
al .sllrino, Nostherners and Sontheraers,
federals aud Confelerases, glad to
snow how much deeper their union is than
their difference" The ThunGcrer rolls ont
pondsrols pra!sc npon the celebration that is
coming the nation's ceutennial, July 1, 1876.
The bunker Hill festival was only note Of
preparation for tho tremendous Chorus OF
jub'lntion to be expected then. II is we'll for
tho deep friendship that ought to exist bo-
tween the two grcat nG1ish-speaking nations
that tho Chief exponent Of English thought
should speak 10 generously Of this thin
skinned peoplc,-a people not proud enough,
but too win, greedy for the applause of
others, unable to bo content with its own
cel'n self-nprroval. Tho change in the tone
Of tho Thnnderer ia Hire sign that the
feeling Of the English people has changed.

Another phase Of the po1ce.Donr1l strnggle
for existencs Inns terminated, and again the
result IL against the Board Judge McAL-
LISTER. Of tho Illinois Supreme Court, who
granted a temporary injunction against inter-
ference with tic exercise Of tho functions OF
tls Board las delivered his opinion, in which
lo declines to continue tho injunction, upon
the ground that a court Of clancery has no
Jurisdiction over matters purely political, and
i such he eharactsrizes the issuc iu qs,cstion.
Judge Atc.sll1srER says that, 10 far as this
! case il concerned, tho City Of Chicago
must be regarded o. In Inv and in fact reiu-
coFporated under the act Of 1872, go that this
statute IL to DO taken rs its present charter,
its provisions being expressly applicable from
the time such reorganization took place that
this act confers upon tho Common Council
tile power to pass the ordinance In dispute,
nlso giving the Council a Legislative aud dis
cretionnry power over the whole subject Of
the Police Department; TINT the continued
existence Of the Doard OF Police is inconsis-
tent with the exercise OF the authority con-
ferred upon the Council by the act Of 1872,
BY the force Of which the provisions
Of tho former statute rolative to the
Doard became inapplicnble, md their
force ns laws ceases. In the opinion Of
Judge S1cA1r1sTEn, it'was entirely competent
for the Legislature to delegate to tue Council
the power md discretion exercised In tho
passage of the ordinance in question, in pass
ing whch tho Council III no respect tran
scendea the authority conferred. The
functions OF the Boarl Of Police are taken
FROM tluln md bestowed upon another officer.
The Doard hare no standing in court of
equity, as the subject IN political, aud falls
under no known head of equity Jurisprudence.
Tho 'notion to continue the Injunction In
force is denied, md tho injunction expires
