ABOUT REFUNDING THE DEBT.

Notwithstanding the fact that a consi6-
cradle number Of cur citizens are enthusi-
asticslly in favor of the bills now pending
before the Legislature to permit the city
and county OF Leayenworth to refund their
railroad Indebtedness at sixty cents on the
dollar, we are inclined to think that the
measures are of very doubtful propriety
We have not seen the county bill, as it has
not yet been printed, but the one passed in
regard to the city, which We published last
Sunday morning, provides for the payment
OF sixty cents of the principal, and the same
per cent. Of the accrued interest, which
would bring the bonds up about hundred
per cent above their present market value.
There is now five years interest due, which
would be thirty-6ve per cent OF the princi-
pal; sixty per cent. OF this would be
twenty-one cents, and this, added to the
sixty per cent. OF ,he principal, would make
eighty-one ceuis on he dollar that we pro.
pose, by this law, to pay for bonds which
the holders would be glad 10 get forty cents
for.
While the bondholders are willing to
take forty per cent, it isn't business-like
for us to petition the Legislature for the
privilege Of paying eighty -one cents. If
plan could be devised for taking up the old
bonds at fifty cents on the dollar, not in
GLIDING accrued interest, it would look like
something practicable, and the city might
be able, upon such basis of settlement to
provide for the interest and principal of the
debt, but such settlement as that p,opos-
ed by the bills at present before the Legis-
lature, doesn't seem to be either prudent or
practicable, and the only effect of it would
be to reduce the debt twenty per cent, and
cut off all chances of compromise hereaf-
ter. Let Us make haste slowly in this mat

He began BY saying that far be it from him

BOTH WAYS,


TOPEKA, February 9.-It is said to be a
''poor rule that won't work both ways"
and the Legislature. in the passage of a
memorial to Congress, yesterday, showed
that it doesn't propose to have any "poor
rules" The memorial referred to consists
of two resolutions, the one thanking the
President for certain acts, and the other
thanking Senator Ingalls, for voting against
the Preaident's position. That's . good po-
sition, and one that leaves the Legislature
fronting north BY south. Some fa.tidious
people may think it little inconsistent to
thank two ways at the same time, but then
some people are never satisfied with any
thing.

RoOt-Prnning Plum Trees.

Tho London Agricultural Gazette
giver an account of some interesting ex-
periments in root-pruning plum trees,
furnished by correspondent. The soil
was evidently very rich and strong, as
The trees are reported as often making
shoots a yard long, and have continued
10 do so for several years. With this
rank growth they did not bear fruit.
Root-pruning was tried, for promoting
productiveness. A deep trench was dug
around the trees two feet and a half
from the stems, making circle of soil
five feet in diameter which held each
tree. This work was done late in au-
ininn; early spring would do nearly as
well, and probably better in cold eli
mates, as cutting the roots tends TO make
the trees more sensitive to cold for a
time. The roots which were cut of
were smOOihed at the cut faces with q
harp knife. The trench was then filed
and the earth troddcn firmly. The next
season Uhe first after the Operatjon)
they did not bear any, but fiuit-spurs
We're formed all over the trees. The
second year part were lifted on loosen
ed entirely. This second year they
bore ga splendid lot Of plums :" those
not lifted the second year bearing much
the better-eyidentl because the root
pruned bore nothing. The sorts on
which these experiments were made

Notes from Nebraska.


Eos ouNTRY GENTLEMAN-I believe,
generally. the farmers have their fall
work well along; blowing all done now
nothing remains but chores, and the
care of what little stock they may
have.
We feel the close times, but perhaps
no moro in this than in other States. Ma
ny have nothing TO sell; many not
enough tokccp their families through the
winter. There is no work of any kind,
or ut any price. We have naught to do
but to await the coming season; grid on
our armor and try again. Perhaps we
may labor with the same hopes that
have hitherto inspired our efforts; per-
haps be met at the close of another sea-
son with the same Respondent, almost
hopeless knowledge of a seasons efforts
lost, as is the case this season. Who
can tell?
note with pleasure that the cover.
nors of the western locust states have
met in conference at Omaha to devise
some method of combating the locust
hcrdcs that have been so destructive
for several seasons past, in almost the
entire country west of the Mississippi
River. They have determined to ask
Congress for commission to examine
into the habits and haunts of these 10.
Gusts, and devise means TO check or ex-
terminate them in their native habitat
They have also determined to establish
bureau of information in each State
organize an army of determined farmers
to wage war with fire, birthstone, bitches
&c, against the old, the young, and the
unborn marauders, wherever found. OF
wherever they make their appearance
They design to seek information and to
publish II to organize ny counties and
by school districts; In fact to educate
the farming community so that they may
be able to save a portion, at least, OIL
their crops from locust ravagcs. So far
so good. If Nebraska was as densely
settled as are some ofthc Eastern States
so that the great countless hosts would
remain scattered, instead of, as now
concentrating all their energies on ono
little corn field, perhaps there might be
some hope. But when our corn and
grain fields are surrounded by so large
an extent of raw prairie which locusts
desert and crowd so dcnscly on to sim
gle hill as to devour it in few moments
time, it would seem almost an endless
task to attempt to drive them off.
The country is flooded with cheap pc.
mics and poor horses. Work cattle arc
very low; so are beef cattle ofall kinds
Cows can now be bought at from $40 to
$50, that a year ago would have rcadi-
ly brought $40 toS50. So with almost
everything in the stock line. Grains
and vegetables are the reverse. Wheat
is GO to 80 cts. corn, Go cts. oats, 80 to
40 cts; potatoes 40 to GO c. and scarce
OF other vegetables, few if any are of.
fcred which were raised in this locality.
