RBTTER Read THE LAWS.

The Last Ditchers advanced q theory
that the Republicans of the North were
ignorant of the use Of arms and could not
ride, being mostly tailors and shoemakers,
1t was usual. also, in setting squadrons In
the feld-on paper-tO estimate one
chivalrous cavalier as the equal of three
timorous tailors, and even of a larger
number of lager beer Datchmen from the
West. Experience has done justice to
the valor of both sections, but it has dis
abused the popular mind of the idea
stated.
In like manner it has been imagined
that there is at the South class of minds
SO trained in political diplomacy and so
educated in metaphysical subtleties that
to them belongs the exclusive interpreta-
tioRof the Federal constitution, and to
them, as to a peculiar priesthood, should
be alone entrusted the mystery of enact
ing law in accordance with the sacred
constitutional covenant Of which the ark
key was formerly entrusted to their exclu-
siye custody.
A century earlier the nobility, priests
and king had been astonished that the
ROundhead republicans of England
could have enacted the wisest laws, pro-
claimed the abless State papers, and estab-
lisked the soundest domestic and foreign
policy which England or the world had
ever known.
Compelled to dispense with the SER
vices Of these experts, the Republicans Of
the North and West did the best they
could with the authority abandoned By
the withdrawal of the political Lsvites,
It was naturally supposed that the Fed
eral government would stop for need Of
its natural directors, the metaphysical
Democracy. The Royalists and Tories Of
the United States had no idea that the
war Of independence could have been
Waged or the country governed under
the administration Of tbs common people
Of the colonies. History is always a new
building erected from the fragments Of

FROM THE LAKES TO TIE GULF.

We learn that the official organization
of the great Southern way between the
Lakes and the Gulf has been concentrated
under single administration, to be direct
ed from Chicago. This realizes the his
toric dreams of Joliet and Bienville. 1t
opens way for more direct and rapid
transit between the ancient possessions Of
the Kings Of France than was ever i'm
agined, when the attempt was made to
restrict Saxon expansion by line Of
French forts on the line of the Ohio and
Mississippi. Of course we do not expect the
excellent officials who are called on, after
the lapse of 8 century, to carry into effect
these plans of direct Communication by
land, instead of by water, to know or care
about tbs glory due to those who have
perfected and built the great works they
have been appointed to administer. To
the friends of internal improvement, with
national means, is due, in greatest part,
the construction of these railroads. The
whole Illinois Central railroad was based
upon a grant Of public lands to that cor
poration. The Mobile and Ohio railroad
was endowed with similar grant.
The railroad between New Orleans and
Chicago is q fact. It remains that it
should be 50 utilized a. to constitute 3
way Of commerce between the Southern
States Of the Union and the Spanish
American States on the one hand, and
the Northern tier OF States Of the Union
and Of Canada. The REPUBLICAN, has
long since pointed out that the whole of
this valuable foreign trade can be turned
from the long distances and heavy insur-
ance around our Atlantic coast. and
put upon the shorter, cheaper and
safer meridian Of the Mississippi and It's

THE FUNERAL BAKED MEATs.-The
Allentown Chronicle says: Probably there
is no other county in this State, or the
United States fur that matter, where
feasting at funerals prevails to 80 great
an extent "a in Lehigh county. The
custom prevails also in the counties of
Berks and Southampton. When rich
farmer or farmers wife dies, the breath
is scarcely out of the body before prepa-
rations for the usual funeral feast begin
on grand scale. Oxen arc killed and
the fatted calf is brought to the block.
Fowls are slaughtered by the hundred.
The ovens and the cooking stoves are
kept busy for days, cooking, roasting and
baking. Immense supplies of bread,
pies and pastry are provided. The
neighbors generally do this work unbid-
den.. On the day of the funeral the
feasting commences early in the morning
and is kept up to late hour in the day.
Half dozen tables are kept going, and
nearly all the rooms of the house are oc-
c3r::c:.. y y tsS :c:.ss..s75. Ever ETozy550dy BODY who
attends is supposed to eat two or three
times o day--near neighbors as we'll as
those from q distance. AS mapy as from
three hundred to six hundred persons are
feasted at one of the grand country fnne-
rails. The horses of attendants are also
put up and fed. Close ss esv farmers
proverbially are it is considered "mean"
to stint on solemn occasions like these.
In fact the immediate family are not
considered at all in the matter. They
are the "mourners," and are at tbe mercy
of the volunteer attendants, who take
possession of the house and arrange
everything to suit themselves consulting
the family, of course, but taking 1t for
granted that their most extrayagant sug-
gestions will be approved.
Nov, all this shows o great stretch OF
hospitality and liberaiity, but it is high
time the custorn was abandoned. While
n rich family may be able 70 afford it,
one no. so rich mnst find it very serious
and expensive business. The custom
we believe, prevsils nowhere except in
the German districts Of Pennsylvania.

A Gigantic HEodel Dairy.

The London Court Circular says: The
food supply of metropolis has long en-
gagged o large share OF the public atten-
ton, and upon the purity Of articles sup
piled depends in great measure the
health and happiness of its inhabitants.
Some ten years since the design was in
troduced of supplying the dwellers in
this great city with milk and other dairy
produce, which for general excellence
could not be surpassed. Like most good
works these laudable efforts were at first
in great measure abortive; but by dint
of perseverance, and good management
the Aylesbury dairy company has as
sumed an importance far exceeding even
the most sanguine expectations of it's
originators, and may fairly be designated
one of the most useful and prosperous
corporations now in operation. To give
some idea of the gigantic nature of tho
business so successfully developed by this
company we may state that they daily
supply 5000 families with milk, which
Is guaranteed, SO far as human care aud
Judgment can insure it, to be not ONLY oi
the purest description, but obtained frt n
perfectly healthy sources. Upward vf
$4,000 gallons Of milk are dealt with
oveiy week, being the produce of nearly
fifty farms in some Of the best of our
dairy counties. To carry on this enor-
nous trade the company have, in addi-
ton to their town premises in st. Peters
burg place, Baysweter, large factory at
Swindon and dairy at Bourton, where
oil the surplus milk is converted into
cheese. With such admirable sources of
supply it is not matter of surprise that
the business has rapidly extended and
that SO successful commercial re lit has
been achieved. The AylesburS dairy
company can take into their Swiudon
factory 5000 gallons of milk daily, which
they hold, as il were, in reserve. In
the summer time, when the fashionable
world is seeking recreation in garden
parties, and other such like delicacies are
in request, then the company are in q
position to meet any sudden demand.
They possess every modern appliance
suitable for the dairy, and have the pow
er of setting 1900 gallons of milk in 800
square feet of milk pans-the product
from which in ten hours time would be
q large quantity of cream. The cream
Is daily sent to London, and after the
orders are executed the surplus is made
into butter, the excellence of which is
such that the demand exceeds the sup
ply.
