The only other material difference In
the report from the Senate amendment
was the fixing OF the utmost cost OF the
police department annually at S325, 900.
| The Houses original figure was $500, 600
and that OF the Senate $350,0O0.
The report was adopted and the bill
passed finally as amended.
Mr.. Kidd, of Jackson, called UP SEN
ate joint resolution, approving OF the
teat Of Which Will II be- found n our rue re-.
port OF the Senate proceedings.
v Mr.. Kidd took the floor, and spoke as
| follows:
| Mr.. SpedEer-As O man regarded In
my own section as o Bourbon, or an ex-
| treme Democrat; as O man who voted
! for Samuel J. Tilden at st. Louis and at
| the ballot-box; as q man who shares In
| the general disappointmento OF Southern
| men at the failure OF Mr.. Tilden to OBJ
tain the position to which the voice OF
the people called him, I heartily en-
dorse and approve this concurrent reso-
luton.
While Mr.. Hayes has not been truly
elected by the people, he has been elect
ed by the operation OF law enacted by
the peoples Representatives, and his
title to the high position he occupies
has been conferred by the highest leg.
fslative authority Ia the land. The ad-
mirable position assumed by him to-
wards the people of the South I
believe to be sincere, nor do believe
that 1t is the result OF any doubt enter
tanned by him as to the legality or
equity OF his promotion. This position,
somewhat foreshadowed In his letter of
acceptance, l believe to be the result OF
honest conviction, and ] only pray that
he may have the nerve, the courage and
the manhood to enforce his conviction.
His present position Is the sunshine that
gilds over murky clouds, and ] trust the
rainbow In the heavens that tells US that
no deluge OF corruption shall ever visit
our shores again.
Mr.. Sartain, the colored member from
Carroll, now took the floor to say that
as Republican and acquiescing In the
doctrines OF the Conservative party Of
Louisiana, 1t did him great pleasure to
see the courtesy and spirit OF harmony
and conciliation with which this con-
current resolution was received by the
members OF this House and the promise
which Ii gave that Louisiana must -four

Education and Agriculture.

If knowledge is power" as the civil
lied world admits, the agricultnrists of
the nations have but to educate them
selves in order to supersede The power of
the trades and professions. and give laws
to their respective countries. This would
be placing the "bottom rail on top,"
since nearly all trades nnd professions
rose into power and respectability before
the plodding uneducated farmer
Through all generations of the past he
has been the foot ball, the servant of aris-
tocracy, the staff of bread to supporting
his country, but too humble in rank to
share its dignities. That long period
ended, however. in the birth of thl .reat
republic. Henceforth all men were to be
considered as "born equal" and as pos.
sessing "unslienable rights." Hence.
forth men were to be free to pursue their
happiness, and without the trammels of
hereditary titles and government prefer
ments. Henceforth intellect and genius
was at liberty to shine from whatever
rank or condition it might spring. I'm
der these favorable circumstances, agri-
culture made powerful advance in the
new world, and although it has not done
all we had a right to expect, in view OF
the great advance in the arts and sciences,
yet it has now climbed to sufficient
height for its votaries to lift up their eyes
and behold something of the glory of its
eliminating power. The establishment
of agricultural bureaus and colleges in
the States, the liberal appropriations al.
ready and yet to be made by the nation
and the States for the development of its
branches, and the honorable character ii
Is daily strengthening by acquisitions
from all classes of society, warrants the
belief that the time is not far distant
when the supreme power and governing
influence Of the United States will reside
In the agricultural population. at pres
ent, though possible, this is not the fact.
While the agriculturists are in vast ma
jorty, the trades and politicians actually
rule the country; hence its turbulence
and uncertainty. Politicians scheme for
promotion and trades seek for monopoly.
The conflicts of these demoralize and
render unstable. On the other hand
agriculture demands peace, and fourishes
only In stable, peaceful government,
This fact guarantees pacific rule by agri.
culture, and prosperity follows as the
handmade Of peace. Now, in view OF
this bright future, it is the duty of the
farmer to give the highest consideration
to the advantages Of education. His
children should be educated at all haz.
ards. They should be taught the sciences
in all their perfection, as fitting prepa.
rntion Tor the nigh destiny Dei0fo ti,em
1t Is by the aid of these that agriculture
is to be carried to tn highest perfection
and 1t is by the triumphs of agriculture
that the farmer is to take first rank In
the classes ofeocioty.

DIR. PLJJMMEERR'ss SPEECH.
The Veteran Creates q Sensation IN
Edinburgh Remarkable Speech.

The correspondent Of the Now York
Herald, writing from Edinburg of the
Pan-Presbyterian Council, thus speaks
of a venerable divine whose name is q
"tower of strength" in this community
ANY account of the personnel of the
council would be incomplete withou,
special reference to DIR. William s.
Plumer, of South Carolina, its veteran.
This grand old mau-in his eighty
eighth year, with his long, snowy hair
and patrarchial beard-might suggest
the ideal Rip Van Wrinkle were his mind
not 80 wide awake. DIR. Plumer was
once minister of the church Of Fred
er:cksbarg, and indeed Tor generation
was the Presbyterian giant of Virginia.
he was the leading man Of onca ia.
nous convention which met Mt Rich
mond TO consider the educational cond-
tion of that State. There he opposed
the late Samuel M. Janney, who wanted
the free school system, but complimented
that modest Quaker, saying, "a city that
il set on hill cannot be hid" His
epgrammatic utterances were widely
known, as when he said, as an Offset to b
revivalist who said that he wanted ito
get up a revival" that he (Plumer)
wanted ITO get down a revival"
DIR. Plumer, aged Us he is, has made
one of the most powerful impressions OF,
the council. 1t was when cooperation
in missions was the subject that he arose
to make an appeal for missions among
the negroes of the Southern States. 1t
was plain that the old scholars erudi.
tion and devoutness had borne him far
above all vulgar prejudices against the
negro. The promise, ethiopia shall
stretch her hands," was raised by him
against tho superstition he rebuked that
there was some special curse on Africans.
lie related some touching anecdotes of
that race, showing their heroism and
picty, and warned the church that they
were not exhibiting as much wisdom rs
the Catholics in winning 80 desirable an
element as the Southern negroes. Ro.
man Catholics, he said, are building
chapeis everywhere and inviting colored
people into them. He once told ha the
ological class in Columbia, South Caro-.
lima, that he did not think the Catholics
would make much Roadway with the
colored people, because these were 30
noisy in their worship and so fond of
taking part in public worship, but one of
his class told him he had been to one of
those Catholic churches. and the noisiest
he ever heard. He (Dr. Plumer) had
found it so; the order had gone out from
Rome, "nover mind the noise if you get
the men," The speaker seemed inspired
with the theme. He declared the most
eloquent preacher he ever heard in his
life was black man from Tennessee
that the only way to convert Africa, and
forever end the odious slave trade, was
io make united effort 10 win tho hearts
of the colored people in America It
was very remarkable speech this of DR..
Plumer, especially as the working of a
high and human spirit in the heart of
that State which was once 40 especially
associated with the "cursed be- Canaan"
theory of the African race.
