A Huge Farmers petition Against Re-

ST. LOUIS, November 5.--The Jour
nal OF Agriculture, formerly Of this
city, has forwarded to Mr.. Buckner,
chairman OF the committee on bank
ing and currency, farmers petition,
measuring seventeen feet In length and
containing 5573 names. The memori,
allsts asks for q general system indie
pendent Of q metallic basis. They In.
sist that the whole theory OF specie re.
sumption Is unphilosophical and
unsound; that values being relative,
the only thing that can be said TO be a
standard In necessity ia the mean re-
lations OF commodities that money is
simply a creature Of law, an instru-
ment Of commerce, and standard OF
payment; they claim that those who
hold the real collateral, as improved
farms, mu have the privilege Of bor-
rowing money from the public treae-
ury on equal terms with those who
hold bonds.

have dealt very fairly with the repub-

without their consent. There would
be many advantages 10 them, especially
In the protection from the general
government, to which they would be
entitled, and the Immediate operation
of territorial courts. Many OF these
Indians object to the influx OF a large
white POT ulatiou which would follow,
with the concomitaDt evils, and II IL
very likely they will defeat the scheme
for the organization OF the territory Of

Of ten scholastic months.
Having a large and comforta-

The mode Of instruction will
be such as to develop the mind,
by addressing the reason--taus
inspire the pupil with love for
his studies by enabling him to
understand them.
The discipline will be mild,
bit firm, and a strict conformity
to- all rules and regulations will
be enforced.

Somewhat over q century ago our
levees were pretty much In the same
condition they are In now. As they
grew worse and worse Gov. Vaudreuil
finally issued an order coniiscating the
property OF all planters who failed to
build levees In front OF their places. II
would seem as IL, after lapse of GEN.
fury, we have returned to pretty much
the same condition of affairs. III a
planter does not build his levee, now-a-
days, and there are few who can afford
such luxury, his plantation, crops, ETC..
are virtually contiscated and taken away
from him by the crevasses.
