ED. REpUBLICAN:-Though Mon
roc has not been spoken of through
the columns of your valuable paper
for quite a while, yet it is fiourishing
and continues to hold its own as it
always has done, and from present
prospects in the way of crops, fruits,
&c, will cope with any of its neigh
boring provinces i'll the future. And
as it is Our duty, as your local cores
pondcnt. to record important trans
actions we viii hasten to II duty in
Il local manner.
Farmers, of late, have put on a new
face since prospects are becoming bet
ter, and those who lay down in dcs-
pair during the late siege, have arts
en- with fresh vigor, and feel conf
dent that they a withstand almost
any calamity that may befall them.
With the exception Of small grain,
chances for crops could certainly be
10 better. y larger acreage than
usual has been plantcdiu corn, which.
with a favorable season will produce
an abundant Weld. Fruits are not
as plentiful as might be, but there
Will be an abundance for home con-
sumption, consequently the chances
for starvation are not very good so
long rs we have plenty OF corn-dodg-
erS. In short. We can say that Mon
roe is going to have plenty, and some
10 spare. so far as the question Of pro-
visions IS concerned.
On Friday last the youngsters of
our vicinity met together for the
purpose of playing croquet. and to
have Il good time generally. The
number present was quite large not
withstanding the i%nclcmency of the

that any sane person who can think

A Distressed Agriculturist.

A Western paper tells a story OF a
distressed ag~riculturist : \ farmer
dropped in here last Wednesday to pay
his rent. putting on a long face to cor
respond with the times. On entering
the house he told the landlord that.
times being so bad, he could not raise
the money at all, and dashed a bundle
of g%reenbacks on the table.
"There." said he, THAT is all l can
pay"
The money was taken up and counted
by the landlord. who said:.
"Why, this is twice as much as you
owe !"
dang me! give tito me again" said
the farmer. Il am dashed if I amt took
it out of the wrong pocket"

A Need Of the State,

There are rumors that new news
paper Is about to be started in San
Francisco and the established Jeurn-
ais of that city are assuring their read
ers that the journalistic fields already
fully occupied and there is no room
for the new enterprise. This advice
gratuitous Is not altogether disinter-
ested. II it is meant that there is no
room for another Journal of like ilk
with those already in existence there
We fully concur. Still we think there
is room for an able, fair and honest
newspaper in San Francisco. The
field for such Journal is uninhabited
or at least so sparseiy settled as to af-
ford every accommodation to an en-
ergetic, conscientious new conner.
There are two causes which preclude
the possibility Of the now existing
newspapers of San Francisco ever be-
coming such journals as the people
require and will ultimately have. The
first is that almost without exception
they are greatly influenced il not con-
trolIed by rings and cfiques who. use
their columns for the advancement of
their own schemes to the injury OF
the general interest. Their very ex-
istence depends on the patronage and
support of these combinations and
hence they cannot deviate from the
line of policy marked out for them by
these schemers. The second Is that
the owners and managers. of these
Journals have become SO inlbued with
the notion that San Francisco COM
prises the whole Pacific Coast that
they cannot do justice to an enterprise
located outside of the city limits. The
writer's on those papers are as q class
grossly ignorant of even the topogra-
ply of the State and its vast mineral
and agricultural resources are to them
q sealed book. San Francisco is a
large city-the metropolis OF the
State--and she should publish news
paper of broad comprehensive ideas
journal that regarded, the whole Pa.
ific Coast as its field; that held itself
aloof from cooperative influence; that
pandered to no clique or ring and
that advocated only such measures as
n l.. \.
interests of the whole State. For such
a newspaper there is a broad unoccu-
pied field in San Francisco. If the
new journal is to be conducted by men
| who know the country as well as the
city-and will keep themselves free
from all entangling alliances it will
succeed and become the friend and adj
vocate of the whole people.

For some days and nights past the
Chinese residents of this city have
been holding their annual religious
ceremonies. Their temple, its Joshes,
devil. and other paraphernalia, is a
curiosity to the white people of the
"Melican man" persuasion, and night
iy the building has been crowded with
the curious and inquisitive. They
were afforded every facility for seeing,
and their million Of questions, so far
rs In the power of the Mongolians, res
pectfully answered. Noticing these
things it occurred to us that these pa
gan worshippers displayed degree Of
courtesy to their visitors that would
not be accorded TO them did they
crowd Christian church. The hea-
then pegs one on the believers in "the
purest and best system Of religion the
world has ever had."

SPEAKING OF a certain vineyard the Los
Angeles HERALD says that frost is un-
known" AID that 1.-THE grape crop this year
was not materially injured by the frost"
How can we doye-tail these two statements
together, % that they will not confic,.-.Sae-
Sdneat0 Heruid.
Frosts this year did the grape crop no dam
age anywhere, and We suppose the Los Anye-
Les HERALD was under the impression that
the Nor hern valleys were frozen up and he
boys were skating among the Vineyards

AS We are not aware of the exist
ence of any very extensive vineyards
in tile "Northern valleys" we never
were under the impression accorded

guessed right once this Virginia seer
ess now predicts that Mount Davidson

like feathers by an earthquake. The
result Of her guess Is that many peo-
ple are alarmed, and not few are
seeking other localities. This is the
sheerest Of nonsense. The whole

Stirring 1t Up Again.

When it was announced that all the
BEECHER-TILToN. MoULTON cases had
been quashed, the respectable portion
of the community drew long breath
and mentally thanked God that they
were spared a repetition of the bathos,
scandal and false swearing that had
filled the columns of the newspapers
for over one hundred days during the
first trial. That the farce had reached
final end was consummation de-
voutly to be wished, and when the
telegraph flashed the information that
all suits were off there was congratu-
lations and rejoicing. But, alas, nei-
ther man nor woman can tell when or
what will 0e ending of libel suit in
which the basis is the alleged criminal
intercourse of a pastor and one of the
lambs of his flock and scandal is the
fuel that feeds the flame. The thing
hangs and drags with even more per-
tinacity and continuity than poor
mans right In the law. An associa-
tion of ministers have taken up what
the law dropped, and after expressing
themselves dissatisfied with the inves-
tigation these gentlemen of the cloth
with a long pole begin to stir the un-
savory mass. There is Il prospect that
the whole of the dirty programme
will he gone through with again. We
arenot surprised that these ministers
regard Mr.. BEEcHER's position as
equiyocal, and 1t is not improbable
that the object of the clerical star
cilamber-is to make him more pre-
sentable to the unprejudiced world.
The only question il, can they do it?
1t does not seem an easy task. There
Is limit to human power, and the
time when man could believe as he
wished-could warp judgment to prej-
udice or inclination-has gone by,
never to return until the era of free
SCHOOLS anu universal education has
passed away. Now we must accept as
fact what the law and evidence estab-
lish. The ministerial club are under
taking an impossibility. All the
whitewash in the world will not de-
lace the stains in BEEcHER's social
and moral robe, and all the perfumes
Of Arabia cannot sweeten his clerical
| reputation. When a court of justice
cannot vindicate man the public will
refuse to accept character fixed up
for him by his personal and profess
sional friends. 1t is TO be hoped the
ministers will think long and we'll
before they reopen case which emits
an offensive effiuvia every time IL Is
touched.
