AGRICULTURAL CLUBS AS Growers OF MEN,
We mentioned in our notice of the proceedings
of the Gunpowder Agricultural Club the fact
of the presence of Dr.. j. E. Snodgrass as amongst
the visitors at the last meeting, and referred to
his having spoken of the cultivation of men,
as one of the results of the class of useful or
carnations to which that Club belongs. We
propose to report more fully this week what the
speaker said on that head of his address. 1t
was substantially this:
Mr.. Foreman, there is another feature of as
sociations such as yours, which deserves es-
pecial consideration. | allude to their tendon
CIV to cultivate men, while they are stimulating
to and illustrating the cultivation OF grains,
vegetables and fruits. To illustrate, let me say,
without any intention OF belittling the past
character OF any one present-for | speak the
words of sympathetic friendship, not those OF
mere criticism, much less of censure-that
remember the time when more than one of
YOUR members could hardly have found courage
to undertake to tell his next door neighbor of
the modes and results of his way of raising
grain, To have got up before group of his
neghbors, such as l find here so happily as
sembled, and spoken his views out in open
meeting, would have seemed reckless. Now
the same men, as have heard them to-day,
and as catch a view of what they have said
on former occasions from the proceedings as re-
corded by your excellent Secretary, or as have
perused them in the baltimore county UnIon,
have evidence of an acquired habit of telling
"what they know of farming"-yes, habit is the
word-which is of incalculable advantage to
the public, while l am sure it must be source
of satisfaction to themselves.
Now, it was il them, to do this. 1t only
needed bringing out. tbs thus men are grown.
These Clubs bring out of them what is in them
by nature, just as their operations ON their
farms bring out the qualities of the soil. Some
people have an idea that there can be fresh vi
tally pumped into man, as it were-by the
doctor, with his pills or powders for example,
or the preacher with his sermon. There could
be no greater delusion. Men grow from within
eutwards. They grow by unfolding for practi-
cal use what is in them. Agricultural clubs
and oranges are admirably adapted to this end
the growth of the men who compose them
Unless these grow along with the grains they
severally grow all the better because of these
meetings, the highest usefulness thereof will
fail of attainment.
Continue to grow, then, my friends, as you
have already grown-to grow socially as we'll
as intellectually. For what is man if he ne
elect the growth Of his social nature? This these
clubs are emiuently calculated to develope and
turn to account and for the common good of all

WHEN THE FASHION OF CHEATING THE
GOVERNMENT CAME IN.


The Baltimore Sun, dismayed at a picture of
political corruption--showing Western scene,
strange to say, and not the striking one existing
in Maryland-undertake to inform the world
that it is as easy to fix the date when robbing
the government became common as it Is to To-
cate any other event in our history. The date,
says our astute neighbor, is since the time when
the present System Of internal taxation came in
vogue. " Since that period corruption in office
has been confined to no party but the disease has
spread from the centre to all parts of the cir
conference.
This information might be important, if it
we're true. In our Judgment it il not true. The
fact is there is real awakening of the public
conscience to the criminality of defrauding the
government. The time has been, and was long
before the present system of internal taxation
was created, that the defrauding OF the govern
ment Was common and was regarded as a We.
nial offence We may point to facts in the
political history Of the Suns own city of Balti-
more as an example, and we fix the time at about
1920, when privateering Of character that al
most amounted to privacy was the business Of
many persons there, and when the United States
officers were either directly engaged in it, or 30
compromised by association with it that they
could not and did not enforce the laws, but on
the contrary, corruptly pocketed the profits of
the piratcal ventures, and dshonored the gov
ernment whose laws they ought to have enforc-
ed. This WAS but one of many scandals of the
time; we merely quote it to show what sort of
civil service the country had in the era Of good
feeling" under that much be-lauded representa-
tive of mediocrity, James Monroe, and because
the instance ia near at home to the authority
whose opinion we challenge.

The report from Boston newspaper, which
we give elsewhere, shows what Bishop Haven
actually said At the meeting Of Methodist rainis-
ters in that city. It VA be ssen that he WAS
speaking p&raculstiy and especially Of the sit
uation Of the colored people in the South, that
topic having been assigned him, and that he ex-
pressed the utmost concern about it Upon this
he Is wen qualified to speak, as he is stationed at
Atlantis, in charge of the Methodist churches
which are growing up amongst the Freedmen.
Moved by his anxiety, he expressed the opinion
that the safety OF the eolored people would be
more assured by the reelection of General Grant
than Of any other man, and he asked the prayers
Of bis audience for that result This is the sum
and substance OF the action which has thrown
good many OF the habitual rsilers at the
President into spasms Of Distress Bishop Haven
spoke, no doubt, in all sincerity he believed
that with Grant in the Presidents chair his weak
and defenceiess focks would have protector,
whose hand would be quick to use the authority
Of the law against their prosecutors. He had a
right to say this, and neither he, nor the Presi-
dent, nor the Methodist church deserves word
OF the fatulent blame that is belched forth
against all three. Whether President Grant is
to be again nominated ia question that goes TO
the Republican masses Of the people for de-
cision, and they, beyond doubt, intend that his
successor, according to the custom Of the Re-
public, shall be new man.

The TnIrd Term AIinsion.

An intimate friend Of the President, a repub-

positively that the President intended the pas
sage in his message referring to the fact that
this Is his last message previous to the election OF
his successor TO be understood as clear and H.
nal disclaimer OF third term intentions- He said
that the President had spoken of it in this sense
to a few friends, saying that what he proposed
to uttor on the subject in his message would
put an end forever TO all talk about third term
for himself and leave no further ground for the
agitation OF that question: Washington Cores
