Patrons of Husbandry.

Judge John Thomas Jones, the newly
eected Master of the National Grange, p.
q H., is native of Essex county, Virgin
il, having been born In that county in the
year 1918; was educated at the University
Of Virginia, graduating in the year 1888,
having taken the law course. He removed
b within ten miles of Helena, Phillips
county, Ark, where he settled on plan
htion, and has lived there since that time.
Was elected judge of First judicial circuit
Of Arkansas in 1874, and again In 1S4S,
serving two terms of four years each. Was
elected to the senate of the United States
in 1866, before the state was reconstructed,
and was not admitted to seat, this being
the only political Office for which he ever
offered. He retired from the bench in 1856
and has been devoted to planting ever since,
as well as having carried on large plant
ing interest while on the bench. Judge
Jones has two large plantations in Phil
lips county, Ark, cultivating yearly about
200 acres, and one on Red river having
about 400 acres in cultivation. His first care
was to have an abundant provision crop, in
which he never failed, in addition to max
ing about eight hundred bales of cot
ton annually, and other crops in pro-
portion. His election gives great salts

will prosper under his leadership. f. P.

MORNING. DECEMBER 4 1875

York and Canada railroad, a man went
along the track and gathered up five wagon
loads of champagne bottles, and out of the
whole lot there was not enough left to
slake the thirst of fly. BY the crop of
bottles harvested, we should judge that
there was not one "dry" speech made from
Albany to Montreal. That's as 1t should
be. Nothing like having lots Of liquid hos
pitalty mixed up In an excursion train 80
as TO make the rails ride smoothly. One
of the excursion party from this city, who
came back with New Years head on him
says 1t was the only time in his life that he
was on railroad train where they carried
their own water to lay the dust. He speaks
In glowing terms of the scenery, and con-
cludes by saying the Delaware and Hudson
canal company went to great deal of I'M
necessary expense by erecting picket
fence along the line of the road from
Whitehall to Montreal. When we inform
the public that what he took for q picket
fence was telegraph poles, they must come
to the conclusion that the car he was IN
contained no ice water.

The grand jury Of New York have
brought the subject of gambling to the at
tentlon of Recorder Hackett, and, after re-
ferring to "pool selling" in connection with
elections, regattas, horse races, etc., they
say that the officers of the law should
thoroughly investigate the evil to the end
that if the present laws are not sufficient,
application may be made to the legislature
for the passage of such statutes as may eff
fectually reach and punish this as we'll az
all other forms of gambling. A very SEN
sible recommendation, and very timely
one to attract the attention of those higher
in power than Recorder Hackett and the
legislature of New York. Washington, the
capital of the Republic, 10 just now the
seat of an exciting contest for the election
of public officer-no less than the speaker
OF the national house of representatives.
For the first time, in years, the democracy
control the result, and, for the firsqtime in
our history, "pools" are sold on the result.
II may be that one has no connection with
the other, but one happened and the other
follows. The department of justice should
see to it that this species of gambling is
promptly suppressed and punished or, il
the present laws are insufficient, then con-
gress should remedy the matter by appro-
pirate legislation. For years Washington
was notorious as "slave pen," and that
curse is no sooner removed than 1t is con-
verted into gambling hell"-let there be
speedy end to it.

Isn't "Sylph" Babcock little OVERRIDING
the matter and making too much of an
effort to assume an air of injured inno-
cence, by demanding trial by court mar.
tial? 1t appears that another one of the
whisky ring cases, involving the question
of conspiracy, will be tried in less than two
weeks, and that is sooner than q military
court of inquiry could be summoned and,
even if he could assemble the court of in
quiry more speedily, 1t Is more than ques-
tlonable whether due regard to the civil
law would permit military investigation
and an adjudication of Babcock's guilt or
innocence while the same matter was he
fore the civil courts. And then, if ex-
Senator Henderson remarked in court, as
it is reported he did, that he would prove
Babcocks connection with the whisky
ring, surely "Sylph" need be in no undue
haste, as Henderson generally makes good
his promises, as he has repeatedly shown
during these whisky trials and, surely.
December Is will be early enough for Bah
cock to have the matter proved. In the
meanwhile, 1t is rumored that the president
will remove "Sylph" from the private Sec
retaryship, which it is to be hoped he will
do. With almost any other president,
such action could be discounted, for GER
tainly, man threatened with indictment
by the civil courts, and with reputation
so badly damaged as, himself, to deem It
necessary to demand military trial, is not
fit to hold intimate personal, political and

We have no objection to our cotempora-
ries, If they see fit to do so, copying our
editorial matter without credt-they are
perfectly at liberty to do so, and we shall
not complain thereat. But we do most de-
cidedly object to the course pursued by
certain newspapers. For example: Some
time ago, we editorially denied the story
relative to Ethan Aliens daughter, and the
article in question was copied by some Of
our contemporaries without credit, and from
one of them 1t was again somewhat extern
sively copied and credited to the stealing
exchange. Again. yesterday, the Burling-
ton Free Press copies and credits to the
Montpelier Waterman, an article entitled
"Ancient Worthless giving the names,
ETC., of the earliest Vermont officers now
living, which originally appeared as an edi-
torial brevity in The GLOBE of Tuesday,
November 90. We are willing to labor
for the benefit of our editorial brethren and
ask no credit tor it, but it is little too
much when our labors are not not only
stolen, but credited somewhere else.

Postmaster General Jewell evidently
doesn't intend to make himself unpopular,
as his predecessor did, by urging the aboli-
ton Of the franking privilege. Congress,
It is believed, will speedily agree to some
bill for partial revival of the privilege or
a.continuation of the act which has just
expired
Active preparations are going on iu every
hotel, boarding house and private family,
in anticipation of the rush of people which
1t is expected will be the result of long
session of congress and the centennial. A
gay season is in anticipation, and much
pleasure, and we hope some improvement,
will. keep pace in society with the wise legis-
lation which is looked forward to in con-
grese.
