THE COLLEGE REGATTA
 AT SARATOGA.

The great boat race which took place at Lake Saratoga on the 18th instant, in which the crews of thirteen colleges participated, has been won by the Cornell crew, of New York.
 The time over the course which was three miles long, was 16m. 234s. The Columbia came next, being two lengths behind; while the old crews of Harvard and Yale were respectively third and sixth, the Harvard being two lengths behind the Columbia, and the Yale four lengths behind the Harvard.
 The New York Herald with the same indomitable and pleasing enterprise by which the public was furnished almost an eye-sight of the shooting match at Dolly mount, gives map showing the race course and the position of each boat during the race, and the attitude of each at the close of the contest.
 Next to being an eye witness to the contest the unparalled enter prise of the Herald, by its graph ic description and its illustrations by the science of instantaneous photography, gives it's readers the most precise conception of the race which it is possible to ob- tain.

INFLATION-RAG-MONEY

From the howl some papers are raising about imitation and rag money currency, we might be led to believe that return to specie payment was the sole panacea for all our ills, and that the land would revel in wealth and luxury with the adoption ofthis measure. Contraction and imitation are now the hobbies of political parties and would-be demagogues. The defeat or success of great parties is now predicted from the attitude they assume on this issue. It is made the issue-unwisely and unnecessarily-on which rival political parties enter campaigns and stake their chances of success. It seems to us that there is too much fuss made about so small a matter. It is all smoke and no fire, and we see no cause to be alarmed. From the best indica- tions we can see the supply of currency is ample to meet the wants of the country. It cannot be from any actual deficit in the aggregate bulk of our circulating medium that causes hard times and apparent poverty in certain sections of the country.
 We opine that no matter how large the bulk of our circulating

The National Board of Trade have adopted a resolution by a vote of nearly five to one, calling upon Congress to adopt some practical measures to pave the way for the execution of the law providing for the resumption of specie payments on January lst 1879. It is worthy of note by those who affect to believe that the West is wholly in favor of expansion, and a permanent, ire deemable paper currency, that this resolution was moved by a delegate from Milwaukee. The fact that, while we have named a day for resuming specie payments, we are taking no adequate steps to enable us to do so, strikes the National Board of Trade, as it would any body of sensible busi- ness men, as matter of serious concern, and their recommends. ton that action be taken upon the subject is one that will meet hearty concurrence FIX.

WISE ONCE--BE so AGAIN.

For many years our people have been so foolish as to neglect their wheat crops and pay heavy freights on their breadstuffs which have been supplied by St. Louis and Chicago. This in one of the best grain countries known, as this years crop fully demonstrates. Not only have they been foolish it this respect but also in the no less important matter of failing to provide their own meat and bacon. Meat is next to bread. These are the two great essentials, and up- on a plentiful supply of them, at a small cost to the consumer, de- ponds to an almost total extent the welfare and happiness of the people. If any people can just be blessed with good, just, econom- ical government, and have plenty of wholesome bread and meat at cheap figures, they will prosper and grow rich, if they try, no mat ter if they have the luxuries of 1 life or not.
 This year our people have been wise and acted sensibly in that they have made an abundant crop of wheat. We also have every reason to expect a fine corn crop.
 Wheat is already made and harvested and few more weeks with shower or two, we will make plenty of corn. We are safe on the score of the most plentiful and the cheapest supply of breadstuff we have ever had. We have been wise in this one thing, and shall we not be wise in another the next in importance, the matter of our meat? Our people are notorious for their meat eat ing capacity. We eat too much meat, but we will eat it, and had we better not commence at once in this matter as we have in the matter of our bread, and make 1t at home? Almost the entire bulk of bacon that is consumed in Ark ansas-and the quantity is enor- mous-is shipped from the St. Louis, Cincinnatti and Chicago markens, and costs on an average sixteen cents per pound. We pay sufficient transportation on our meat to supply our tables with thousand delicacies to which we are almost entire strangers un- der our present system of living. Our county is kept drained of money, and we live after the very hardest manner. This may be one of the great causes of the dearth of currency at the South.
 Will our people not make the resolution now, and once for all, to be wiser in this respect. We can make our meat for one half of what it costs us to ship it here; and it will be better, cleaner. and sweeter.

A COSTLY LUXURY.

Perhaps there are but few of our readers at this distance from the national capital, where the selfsacrilicing Grant holds forth, who are aware of the real cost of such a luxury as they enjoy in having the present administration. Many no doubt, imagine that a salary of $50, 1000 per year covers the Presi dential expenses; but not so, this sum is not one half of the cost. l $l00, ,000 will not cover the aver age annual expenses of keeping Grant from the day he first be- came president.
 The New York Sun recently gave an exhibit showing detail ed statement of the sums voted for each President during the last twenty years, To give our readers an opportunity to com pare the expenses of the present administration with that of for mer ones; and to show what a great sacrifice" Mir. Grant is ma king by acting as our President, we draw upon the Sun statement for the following figures:

 The expense or his second year. $ll4,304. The expense of his third year, SPA, 404. Making the total for three years, $357,66 or an average of $119,2S9.
 As the Sun justly and truly says, "these figures disclose some remarkable facts and contrasts"
 Some idea can be formed from them of the sacrifices" which Grant. has made in serving as President, and with these figures before us i. is not hard to under stand why it is that he is so will ling to still make more sacrifices to serve us for a third term. One would naturally suppose from Grants late peeyish, grumbling, complaining letter, wherein he talks of his sacrifices, that he would like to have the already enormous appropriations for the Presidential expenses, still fur thur augmented if he serves any more.
