Keep Up Your Cows.

The city marshal has been directed by
the Board of Street Commissioners TO pre-.
vent any further herding of cattle on GU,
streets. Some have entertained the idea
that if their COWS are watched or held BY q
rope while feeding on the streets they dc
not violate the ordinance preventing cattle
from running at large within the city
limits, but this is mistaken notion All
cattle whether they are held or watched
are liable to be taken up if found outside of
an enclosure anywhere in the city.

xRfcK tue Great expended In the twenty
flve years following 1863 more than thirty
Ave millions Of dollars upon the founda-
ton OF farm schools and the redemption
OF waste lands Even after Jena, when
mutilated Prussia was reduced to seven
millions OF inhabitants, the Agricultural
Institute Of Moeelin was created, and In
like manner Saxony on the morrow Of
Sadowa established the Agricultural Fac
ulty OF Leipzig, which now embraces TWEEN
ty professorships.
At present the German empire In addi-
ton to ten faculties or superior Institutes,
contains not less than l73 schools Of lower
grade, including farm schools, special
schools OF drainage, horticulture, &C., and
academies, one Of which at Proskau pos

many has been vigorously followed by
other European nations, particularly by
Austria, Switzerland, aud Italy. Even
Sweden has three farm schools OF a high
class. Among enlightened and prosper
Gus countries, England and the United
states give least attention to agricultural
instruction. In the one case the cultiva-
ton OF the land has been thrown to a large
extent into the hands OF capitalists who
are in position to offer a premium for
scientific and effective management. In
our own country the hopelessness of COM
peting with the Mississippi valley since
the Introduction of canal and railway
transport, has led to a certain neglect OF
agriculture in the northern Atlantic
States. Yet there Is scarcely a corner OF
New England whose natural advantages
are inferior to those presented by Bran
denburg and Some other parts of Prussia,
and it isprobable that many an abandoned
farm might be transformed into n lucra-
tive investment by the application Of Ger

Increase OF votet In the Electoral Colleges. Is
Under the Constitution, before enamel
patton, only three-fiiths of the slave popu-
lation was represented. Now, the blacks
count equally with the whites and in these
sixteen states their agg egate vote, on the
basis of the census, Is reckoncd mt about
825 co., while in the states where slavery
remotely existed and was long ago abol-
ished, or never existed ut all the colored
vote is estimated AT 255,000.
While the Republicans were able to hold
the Southern States rs provinces, first by
military rule, and then by reconstruction
and carpet-baggers, a solid South was u
sweet morsel for their political palates.
But gradually. rs this hold weakened under
the excuses and extortions OF the Bull
LOCKS, Scorrs, lIoLDENs CLAYToNs, KEEL
LoGGs. AMEsEs, CuAMBERLAINs, SPENcERs,
OsBoRNs and that tribe of thievIng adveu-
turers, their opinion began to change, and
now, when all these States have turned
against further II publican rule, and insist
upon honest aud pcaccable government,
this solid South is held upas a hobgoblin.
II the South is stronger to-day than II

tory policy would have divided the whites

been powerless for mischief. Now, at the
end OF ten years, the artful managers, who

which Gen. SHERIDAN will permit Con-
greee TO go on with Its business.
II may appear TO come that this is an ex-
nggerated picture of what we are to expect
when Congress meets; but 1t lie just about
the way in which GRANT and SHERIDAN
opened the Louisiana Legislature on the
4th day of january, 1876 and those mill
tary personages have quite IA much right
to reconstruct n national House OF Repre-
sentatives rs to reconstruct n state Legis-
lature. For GRANT TO send SHERIDAN into
Congress to turn out OF their seats such
members rs oppose his Administra-
ton, would he not whit more illegal and
arbitrary than was his action in tho
Louisiana case, and In many other cases
where he has CONTEMPORARY disre-
garded the Constitution and the laws be-
cause they did not coincide with his will.
When public servants are permitted to
break loose from all constitutional restrio-
tions, and commit the gravest offences
without rebuke. 1t is well to consider
where all this may end.

The propriety of erecting q special build
ing for the forthc oming services OF MOODY and
sAsKEy IN Boston IL now earnestly discussed In
that city. Some people say that one OF the big
churches or the Music Hall will do. Others think
that the thirty thousand dollars which a new
building would cost, might better be spent In
works Of cnarity. The replies mide to these
DIRECTORS are that unless crowds Of people are
to be kept out OF each service the new preach
ing structure must be put 10, that the highest
charity to men Ia to save their souls. and that
the cost OF the building will not be so much
taken from the regular gifts Of the religious, but
80 much added to It. Thus the controversy
RACES. The main question with us, however, Ia,
WIN MOODY and SANKEY, with or with
out special building for their services,
be able to penstrate the ironclad relig-
ious self-satisfaction OF Boston, II they
can do II at all, they can do II from
the Music Hall or any large meeting house,
well as from a tabernacle specially put up
for them. We see IN the way this preliminary
discussion is carried on an indication OF what
Is to come when tho evangelists shall begin
operations 10 the city. The Bostonians pride
themselves on their critical taste In preaching
and In music. Therefore they will be like q
house full OF critics on the frat night Of a play
or an opera. They will not open their hearts to
take IN Brother MooDY's exhortations on the
strength OF his European and METROPOLITAN sue
ccsses, and drink 10 with simple deliIht the
spiritual songs Of Brother sASKEY, but will
coldly examine their perform ances to see II
they are up to the Boston standard. The only
way for Brother MOODY Ia to hammer away at
them as he does at other sinners, only more
vigorously, taxing especial pains to show that
he isn't afraid OF their spiritual selfeuficiency.
The Boston type OF wickedness ia In some
respects peculiar, but II IL very bad type. II
Brother MOODY stirs up the dry bones OF that
hardened town. we shall give him great credit.

Political RetributiOn.

When in the full flush Of power. and with
majorities of two-thirds in both Houses,
the Republicans gave the negroes just
emancipated from slavery unconditional
suffrage, and passed reconstruction acts,
by which the carpet-bag system was
created, they were weak enough TO sup
pose that n Chinese wall had been built
around their new system, which would
Withstand all attacks.
The aggregate vote in the House OF Rep
resentatives was raised from 90 in 1850 "a
100 in 1876, in the sixteen States where
slavery formerly existed, as may be seen
by the following table; and that, too, in
spite Of the increased ratio Of representa-
