President Buckham's Address.

AS understand the function Of an indie
pendent newspaper, it is not only to differ
from aud criticise all parties, as occasion re-
quires but also. within due limits, to accord
all parties hearing.
Now, while no one will deny the right Of
the FARMER to maintain an expectant atti-
tude towards the Burlington university aud
(so.called) agricultural college as long as it
sees fit and has the patience to do 50, its con-
ductor, if he will allow expression of the SEN
timents Of many of his warmOst friends, must
admit that they have long ago got to the end
Of all patience with, or faith in, that institu-
ton, as at present managed.
1t only requires one to read the address
Of Pres BuCkham, as reported in the last
FARMER, to find ample material for strength
ening and confirming tho opinion, some time
since reluctantly arrived at by myself aud
hundreds Of others, that there is no intention
there of spending more than triaing portion
! Of the income Of the agricultural college fund
Vermont farmer. [volume] (Newport, Orleans County, Vt.) 1870-1877, 1877-02-02

for the promotion Of agriculture-and only
that triAing portion as bare bone thrown
out to still growing dog.
Remember, that the university has absorb
ed between eighty and ninety thousand dol
lars Of that money, and the fast dollar it
has expended for the benefit of the farmers
is what il now pays Prof. Cressey for his
lectures. But we have always been told
that if there we're only money enough ~ the
farmers should bo considered. Noio, Pres
Buckham tells us that IT, by any miracle,
more money should be forthcoming, he would
establish professorships, not Of agriculture
or horticulture, but Of veterinary surgery,
of mechanical physics, of botany, Of archltec-
turO, and Of railroad engineering and railroad
interests
These new professorships would be excel
lent adjuncts, the first to the medical college,
and the others to the university: but are
they what are first wanted to make an eff.
cient agricultural college2 This question
answers itself, to any intelligent farmer
Rejecting men. studying this subject long
and patiently, and with good inside oppor-
tunities for knowing and judging the real
intentions and policy of that institution, are
well satisfied that only one of two courses is
open to the farmers,-either to abandon for
ever all hope Of any real benefit from the fund
and push forward the plan of new and in
depend ent school, or to inaugurate and main
tam vigorous campaign to dssever the
agricultural college from the university.

The Electoral Bill.

The rare unanimity with which the bill
has been received by tho country shows how
intense was the public desire for the settle
ment of this difficulty as well as the pur-
pose that the settlement should be just and
honest. 1t shows that neither Hayes nor
Tilden could have been declared elected, on
any grounds or returns known, with salts.
faction 10 the public. The plan is this, in
substance the speaker Of the house appoints
five members, three Of whom it is under
stood shall be democrats, as they have ma
jority the president of the senate shall ap-
point FIVE, three of whom shall be republic
cans as that party is in the majority 10 the
senate, and the bill names four members Of
the supreme court, who shall select another,
and these fifteen men constitute a court Of
arbitration to which all returns concerning
which the house and senate do not agree
shall be referred. Whether they shall 60
back Of the returns is not explicitly declared,
but we may trust them to do the fair
thing.
Some object that the whole proceeding is
unconstitutional. 1t may be though We dc
not believe It. Here was the plain fact ia
the case the two parties could not agree,
and what was more, the leaders Of either

We TRUST OUR agricultural readers will
peruse the artical on our first page in re.
latiOn to breeds of cattle, and they will see
that the doctor need not tell them he is not
a farmer when he declares that thorough
breds are no better than natives for that is
equivalent to saying poor horse is just as
valuable as good one. One great value
of thorOughbreds, we are not speaking of the
fancy elements, is that the good points only
are reproduced. For man claiming to be
a physician, and possessing the education
therein implied, to declare against the worth
and power Of "blOOd" is strange, to say the
least.

SAYS THE TRIBUNE OF the election Of Ben
Hill in Georgia and Judge Davis of Illinois,
The United States senate seems TO be in
luck To supplant Gen. Logan with Judge
Davis, and to replace a man of moderate
ability like Mr.. Norwood with a man Of pow
err like Ben Hill, means gain for the senate
in brains if not in republican votes" 1t sug-
gests that Of late the men sent TO the senate
from the South are doing much to redeem
that body from its "blight of mediocrity."
OF course this means that the preponderance
of ability, of statesmanlike qualities, will be-
long to the South by and by. The long rule
of the republican party and the suicidal pol
icy Of sending such men as Schurz and Trum-
bull aud men of kindred ability and purposes
out of the party aud giving the leadership to
such as Morton and Chandler and Butler
has reduced the average standard very much
and has brought mediocrity to the 'front.' We
predict for the Aext ten years a strife for as
tendency in which not the party who controls
the patronage, but that which has the brains
and moral character will prevail. The real
Southern leaders being men Of great sagacity
perceive this and are putting forward their
ablest and best men 80 as to be ready for the
coming conflict. We welcome it, and if
Massachusetts, wants to be represented by her
Dawes 10 the senate, and Vermont wishes to
smile and heap favors on mediOcrity in the
house, we shall see tie sCeptre go to other
hands.

A SOMEWHAT NOVEL experiment is being
tried in New York, that of praying Wall
street spectators and stock gamblers into
piety, honesty aud virtue. We should regard
it as a difficult task, especially if led by men
who have become eminent through their fail
ures and misfortunes in that well known street.
To see man, who had been ruined by stock
gambling, stand up to lead in prayer-meet-
ing Of shat kind would not be very edifying
sight to behold. Great sinners may be con-
verted, but when they take to piety to restore
lost fortunes we fear they will not become
eminent for either religious culture or garnered
wealth. Fools make 4 mock at sin we are
told, but feeble saints not unfrequently bring
upon it great reproach by zeal which has
no basis in good sense or scriptural knOwl-
edge.

The Caledonia County Fair.


The executive committee Of the agricul-
tural society met Tuesday, at the st. Johns
bury House, to appoint the various executive
officers, determine premiums, appoint COM
mittees, etc. The attendance was quite
large, and tho discussions universally intelli-
gent and spirited for gathering Of farmers.
Though most were strangers TO us they seem
ed to be the leading farmers Of the county,
at least their discussions we're worthy Of such
men. An interesting and earnest discussion
took place respecting the propriety Of raising
the premiums on "town strings Of Oxen,"
which resulted in throwing ont the fourth
premium, and raising the others on ten-yoke
strings five dollars each; a good movement
as IL is no little trouble to get "town string"
They insisted on having good men on each
committee, which is right. This idea of put.
ting man Of questionable moral character
in an important place needs to be exploded.
The Caledonia fair is doing good work and
if the friends of agriculture, we should say of
industrial progress, in this section of our state
would take hold of the matter more general
ly, the society could enlarge the field Of its
efforts, give premiums on farms, growing and
harvested crops, etc. 1t should be the work
Of this and every other fair in Vermont,
whether town, county or state, to promote
every legitimate industry within its borders
We plead for premiums on farms, gardens,
growing crops of all kinds and grain ready
for market, because there is need Of improve
ment in these directions. Farms need to be
drained and slicked up generally. Better quail
ity as well as more grass should be raised as
we'll as other crops, and the inspiration which
comes of premium" is oftentimes quite
magical. We remember our boyhood zeal in
clearing away old trees and bushes from
stray corners, clearing of scattered boulders,
laying blind bitches, ETC., 80 that the old
farm might get premium, aud nothing ever
filled our youthful heart more than the priv
ilege of standing in the crowd at the seattle
show" and hearing the name of our sire read
off among those who took the FIRST pre- mium
on farms. A "premium farm" was a term
Of wonderful potency with Us, as we'll as with
the farms themselves, for nothing to our
knowledge gave such an impetus to farm i'm
provements as the premiums offered. And
that old farm is to-day vastly better for those
improvements made FIVE and twenty years
ago. That swampy, marshy hole in which
"Old line back was forever getting "mired'
is as dry and fertile as the year the farm
took premium the bouders then removed
have not disturbed pillow or mower since the
bushes cleared out have been kept down un-
til exterminated so that the extra efforts Of
few years to get the first premium on that
farm really added Eve hundred dollars to its
permanent value Aud similar improvements
were made on many other farms in the cOuu-
ty so that the real increase of value was YER y
considerable, and what is more most of those
improvements were permanent.

THIS Is WHAT President Grant said Sun
day of the electoral bill, and it is the rea-
son he signed it so readily when presented to
him when you get outside of the poll
ticians and down TO the sober, honest, indie
pendent sentiments Of the people, those who
have a real interest ia the welfare and pres
perity Of the country, you End that they are
in favor Of the measure. They do not
care so much about constitutional forms,
when the peace and honor Of the country
are at stake" Nothing could hit the nail
on the head more effectively than these
words. AS to its constitutionality, il Geo.
f. Edmunds don't know as much about con-
stitutional law as inflated Charles H. Joyce
of Rutland, who opposed the bill nightly"
he is to be pitied.

VINO SHALL SAY in the light of those words
Of Thomas Chalmers that a Christian life, a
devout study of holy scripture does not lend
keenness, penetration and accuracy to mans
moral vision "The entrance Of thy word
giveth light said Israel's poet prophet and
king Of old. The mere existence of the
prophecy, they shall learn war no more, is q
sentence of condemnation upon war, and
stamps a criminality on its very forehead !;
so as soon as Christianity shall gain a full
ascoudency in the world from that moment
war disappears"

JuDoINo FROM we'll written communal
cation from Bradford, things are getting some
what mixed in that town with an ancient,
honorable name. We are compelled to de-
cline Publishing IL ours is state and not
a local paper, and though we want justice
done in Bradford as everywhere else, our
readers in the 240 other towns Of the state
would not care to have us enter into these
town discussions. If the Opinion has not
the sense and courage to give both sides a
fair and reasonably full hearing on local mat
tiers, we pity it, and il ought to be ashamed
Of itself. II is too often the case that 10.
cal paper is owned or controlled by some
local officials or nabObs who use it for selfish
ends and not for the public good. Every
sheet Of that kind is an unmitigated curse.

DR.. II. NEWELL, the family physician of
Gov. Fairbanks, we are informed, declares
there is no foundation for the rumors that
the governor has been ordered South for the
balance Of the winter. He also says our hon.
ored governor was never ia better physical
condition than at present and we therefore
hope our exchanges will note this and cease
circulating so many groundless rumors. The
governor is quiet, modest and reticent man,
who puts his excellent faith, of every mans
attending to his own business, into practice.
10 the inquiry of friend the other day
when he was going South he facetiously re-
piled, 81 cannot say till have seen the lat
est papers" Meanwhile those hungry appli-
cants for place on the board of agriculture
had better follow the governors example and
attend to their own business, though most of
them we are sorry to say have none to which
their attention can be given. We think ev.
cry farmer would be delighted to have Prof.
Collier make up his mind to accept the posi-
ton and Gil it if possible. The fact is, the
farmers of Vermont have "hankeriug" af-
ter that man.
