PORTLAND AND THE WEsT-Mr M. l..
Hale, special Treasury agent, recommends sew

the immediate transportation act. One is that
a special agent shall accompany all goods i'm
ported under the act, fIom the wharves of the
port of first arrival in the cars in which they
are to be transported West. He recommends
that If part of an invoice reaches the West in
advance of the other portion, that part may be
entered without being delayed to wait for the
next, but the bond is not to be released till all
the invoice has been entered and the dusies
paid. The report recommends some other
changes relative to the management of this
class of goods in Eastern ports.

AUGUST 23d, 1875.
To the Editor Of the BULLETIN:
There is very general complaint among
farmers. They hurl good many not com
plimentary remarks at us poor devils who
do their drudgery. They tell us they never
had hired man who was good for any
thing, and they tell their neighbors so, too
They call us ignorant and lazy, and only
to be tolerated because they cannot do
their work without us. Pleasant, isn't it,
to drudge from four O'Clock in the morn
ing till eight at night, and then receive a
grunt of dissatisfaction for our reward
If ! was disposed to quarrel with the
farmers, could, with as good right and
equal generosity fling in their teeth the
rctort that there are no good places for
men to work in. But it is not policy for
US, who depend upon the work given us
by the farmer for our daily bread, TO quar-
rel with him.
1t will be far better for us all, both
farmers and laborers, to look at the matter
fairly and squarely, find the cause, if pos
sible, of the evil, and then pull together
to remove it, | have worked on Il farm
the greater part of the time for ten years.
During that time l havcworkcd for all
classes of men and in all parts of the
country. To the accusation of ignorance,
plead guilty, and yet, as far as facts that
are connected with this question are con-
cerned, l claim to have good amount
of knowledge. l have gained the reputa-
ton of being a first class hand, which cam
not be had without thorough knowledge
of the business.
Who is to blame for the farm help, as Il
class, being poor? will not say to you
farmers, that you are wholly accountable
for it, yet the cause lies nearer home than
YOU like to admit. You fail to recognize
your duties, and the hired mans privi-
leges You expect when you hire man
for sl5 or $50 month that you have
bought him body and soul. This is mis-
take. Young, America, finding that you
regard him about like the rest of your
property, will kick out of the traces at
once, and all that you get out of him after
that you will have to work for. If you
would have good help, learn that hired
man has a soul; that he is flesh and blood
and part and piece of Gods creation, and
then treat him accordingly. If man is
respectable, give him the place in your
household that he merits. If he is de-
graded, endeavor to elevate him; if ignor-
ant, encourage him to learn. In short,
come down from your high horse and ride
with the hired man, and trust that you
will not find him bad companion.

THE Conservative, by implication, ad-
mits that there was meeting of the Bour
bon ring" at the office of that paper, last
week, but denies that slate was cooked
up" Our information came from Demo
cratic sources, and it is evident that slate
was the object of the gathering. Another
circumstance was told us, that we failed
to mention last week, and that was, that
Barnhart was much out of humor with
the proceedings, as interfering with his
prealranged plans. From his present heat
in abiding to the meeting, we can well
believe the statement; and we notice that
he tries to get revenge upon the Bourbon
marplots by suggesting that the delegates
to the Namcless County Convention, which
meets tomorrow, get together at an early
hour, and fix up "a ticket that will secure
the undivided support of the Liberal Gle
men in the county. This is plainly Il
vicious thrust at the old Bourbons, and an
intimation that when it comes to the distri-
button OF offices, they are expected to take
back seats, for there are not enough to go
round, you know. Strange that the old
liners have not learned this before.

Johnston's majority

IT is estimated that the Prohibitory Law
has cost Buchanan county $4,000. What
has oeen the result? Why, there is as
much liquor drank now as ever. The law
is failure; is it not so, Mr. Bulletin
Conservative.
Passing without comment the question
able statement of fact in the above, we
desire to ask our contemporary on which
side of the question are the people who
desire to see whisky free as water? If
there is rs much whisky drank under the
prohibitory law as ever, why do the rum
sellers oppose it?

FRosT.-On Saturday and Sunday
nights severe frosts occurred in some sec
tons of this and surrounding States, the
damage to the corn crop, in some locali-
ties, being estimated at fully fifty to sixty
per cent. We have made some inquiries
of our farmers from different portions of
this county, and fail to learn that any Sc
rious damage has resulted here. Vines
were cut, in many places, and young cane
destroyed, but the corn crop generally
seems to have escaped with slight damage.
The weather, since the frosts, has been
warmer and if this shall continue through
out next month, the prospect of fair
corn crop will not look so blue as during
the past few weeks. Old weather proph-
cts say that hot September is not i'm
probable
