CCRING YAGRANCY.

The experience to which our c"mmu-
nifty has lately been subjected, has taught
new lesson on the question of the ne
cessity Of the suppression of vagrancy.
The policy of committing Migrants to
jail, and furnishing them with food and
lodging gratis, has been shown to be on
" productive Of evil. both in the encour-
aging of idleness, It's well as the increas-
ing OF expense The idea Of work
house, has already been suggested, ana II
seems now to have been incontestioly
proven, that this is the only true anu
healthful remedy which has yet been as
covered. Our attention has been called
arresh to this subject. from recent extracts
published. abiding to the efforts made by
an American, who, under the
title Of Count RUMFoRD, became
celebrated in Europe at the close OF the
last century. He rose in Bavaria to be
the head of the government, and while
in that position, devoted his every
energy to the Punishment from the State
habituai yugrancy. He studied the
evil. saw the weakness of the former laws
on the subject, and became convinced OF
the imperative duty of making pauper,
mendicant or tramp, useful, and OF pro-
viding the means Of enabling him to be-
come industrious, and no longer be bur
den upon society. Hence, he established
work houses. and devised salutary rules
for their goyernance. Having made all
necessary preparations, he announced
that, after certain date, january lSr
1870, all persons found begging, would
be visited with severe punishment. That
if they were in need of food, and
the nccessaries of life. they would
he furnished with work, at the
houses of industry, and one meal, and
then would be paid a reasonable sum
sufficient TO enable them to procure other
meals and lodgings The laws were rigid
" enforced. and the effect is said to have
been magical, for, says the extract allud-
cd to-
"The house of industry was less like
q workhou>e than large factory. Its
lnmatcs were free to come and go at re-
eular work hours, and were subjected, IN
Inc house. to no restraints other than
those imposed upon all workers. The
experiment was inexpensive and gradual
" came to be supported, to great eN-
tent. by private contributors, and was
eminently successful. When Count
Rumford wrote his account of it, five
wears after it mad been put in operation
ii: was financially paying speculation,
and had not only banished heggary, but
had wrought an entire change in the
manners. habits. and very appearance
of the most abandoned and degraded
people in the kingdom. subsequently,
however. and when deprived Of the ener-
" and ability of Rumtord, the system
fell into disusc.'
This system, ms here represented, bears
the burden of age, its true, but even in
his day and generation, We may profit by
its teachings.

Tie CAPITAL.

Last winter the people of West Nir-
giuia. through their representatives IN
the Legislature, voted TO remove the
Capital to Wheeling, and SO determined
were they to do this, that they did it IN
spite of one of the most decided, ener-
ge,ic and vigorous contests that has
ever been recorded. They did it with
full understanding of the facts of
the case, recognizing after the expert
ucut had been tried, that the interests Of
the State demanded that her seat OF
government should be in more Access
,ibls and desirable location than that
which, few years before, had been
selected. 80 determined also, was
the opposition to the move, that
not stone was left unturned to
defeat the will OF the majority, and
81 reluctant was this will yielded TO- that

SENATOR JOHNSON was greeted by a
large and expectant crowd assembled in
the Senate chamber yesterday, to hear
his speech on the Louisiana question.
our reports received at this time give
merely meagre outline of the effort, but
sufficient is known to show that the
,peaker was unsparing in his denuncia-
tion OF the Presidents course. He con-
cluded by saying what CATO said TO the
ambassador of CESAR: LET him disband

Raising Red Clover for Hay vs.. For
Seed.

have known crop of clover seed ex-
haust the land more than crop of
wheat Glover is great renovating
crop when grown for hay, for pasture or
for plowlng under, hence clover seed
should be sown literally. On the other
hand raising seed is highly profitable but
somewhat oXhausting to the land. Raise
clover seed, but use the money obtained
from its sale to enrich the land.
a bushel of clover seed will usu
ally buy six or eight bushels OF
peas or beans, and these fed to stock
on the farm will restore to the SOIL in the
form of manure, six or eight times as
much plant-tood as the crop of clover
seed renewed Do not try to cheat the
soil, DO not induce it to give you q good
crop of clover seed and then refuse II II
share in the profits. In raising clover
seed cut the first crop early--say III this
latitude the first or second week of June
\ better rule still is TO cut the first crop
before all the blossoms are unfolded. 1t
is also important that the first crop
should be mown as evenly as possible
that the plants may start equally and the
