Much disappointment was ex-
pressed by visitors, especially Amer
lean visitors, to the French expo
sition on opening day, at the incom.
pleteness of many departments. The
machinery hall is especially in dis
order, much of the space being still
numbered with great unpacked cases.
Some exhibits of the lighter order,
especially in the Swiss, Chinese, and
japanese sections, were completely
ready, and the very attractive Rus
sien section is also well advanced
and the exhibit comparatively large
The Enslish and Canadian sections
however, taken altogether and as
q whole, are by far the largest, finest
and most forward in the exhibition.

TO PATRONS OF HUsBANDRY.

A correspondent writes to the Villa
naettc Farmer: The time has come when we
must grid our armor, and 60 forth to battle
in in the defence of our noble cause and or
der. We can no longer sit still with our
arms folded together, and let the enemy
spit its most venomus poison upon us, and
that, too, without even a passing notice
from us. We have enemies, and who has
not? But | dare say we have more to fear
from that serpent-iike creature that crawl
within our gates, or Turks in darkness and
detection for the express purpose of strik-
ing its poisonous and fatal fangs into it's in
nocent victims, than even from the purse
proud m%onopolies. Yes! we must 20 forth
to battle, not with loud sounding trmmpets
and blades of ghttering steel, but with true
courage, noble deeds, and loving words of
truth and kindness. Let our motto be eX-
celsior. Ours is a goodly work and may
we not feel proud of our organization, so
young. so beautiful? Why need we des-
pair ? See! Look Think for a moment,
what has been done in so short a time, and
Nhat yet may be done in the near future, if
we be but faithful, patient and laboring pa
irons Then let us, with an ever watchtul
eye, guard the gates faithfully. that none
but the good and faithful MAJ enter in. Let
those who can write or speak, all work for
the good Of the order.

The World says it takes pleasure in not
ing and putting upon record the fact that
the order is making decided progress in a
matter which must greatly Increase its
strength and influence and tend to its per-
manency. illusions is made to the educa-
tional feature Of the grange, which is appar-
emily receiving more and more attention
throughout the country. The Pomona
oranges in Pennsylvania, Ohio and some
other States are evidently making a special
ty of meetings largely devoted to discus
sions, papers and addresses OH practical
subjects of interest to members of both
sexes-agriculture, science and domestic
economy alike receiving attention. Some
of the oranges which hold meetings of two
or three days. duration, very pleasantly
unite business with pleasure, following the
intellectual efforts with festivals in which
the ladies and invited guests participate.
This is a happy and beneficial combination
of the educational and social features of the
order, and such a one as ought to be gener-
ally encouraged.

Meeting of the Legislature.

The Fiity-seventh Legislature of Maine
commences its annual session to-day. In
the Senate there is one vacancy, that of
the Aroostook district. Most oil the mem
bers elect are present and ready to organ
ize and proceed to business. There are
a good many matters OF considerable inn
portance to come before the legislature
some of interest to the State at large and
some of local character-but no great
overshadowing questions appear Tor con-
sidera.ion and action. The organization
will be pleasantly effected, and the SEES
sion we trust will result in labor well done
rather than hastily and impertectly ended.

Honesty as the best Policy.

We have no wish to foster il-feeling be
tween the Eastern and Western section.
Of the Union, or to discuss financial ques
tions affecting the whole country in ho
and sectional spirit. But spade is
spade, and we do not see what good car
come of calling it spoon. When those
who urge the passage of the Bland bill
openly declare that they do so because
they believe it will enable the United
States TO pay dollars " orih of debts
with ninety cents, they avow their readi.
ness to swindle the public creditor out OF
10 per cent. of his debt 1t is not we
who say this. II is the force OF the En-.
glish language which says it, II citi-
zen of Ohio or Arkansas, finding himself
on the verge OF bankruptcy, goes to an
acquaintance and offers him what by the
law of the land would be regarded as
usurious interest for the use of money
enough TO save himself. that citizen would
be justly regarded, not by his creditor

man who, expecting one day to come into
fortune, goes to tailor or bootmaker
or jeweller and contracts debts for ar.
ticles OF use or luxury supplied TO him at

'great expectations should refuse tc
pay those debts when he comes into his

OF the statute against betting, would be
regarded and justly regarded, even by
people who uphold the statute and dsap

the Bland perfidy what are called 1.-THE
opinions of Ohio" can be buttressed even
decently by er post fdct0 legislation alone.
What the advocates of "the opinion OF
Ohio" intend is to make a dollar not made
when all the public and private debts
now in existence were incurred. and then,
under the legal-tender power of Congress
to compel all existing creditors, public
and private, to accept this new dollar, be-
ing worth 10 per cent. less than the dol
lar they had in view when they loaned
their money, as the equivalent of that dol
lar. The existing law of the land declares
that in all contracts, bonds and mortgages
made since 1873, and promising simply
the payment of so many "dollars," moth
ing but gold or greenback dollar, ac-
cording to circumstances, was or can have
been intended. The Bland bill uproots
the existing law and asserts silver dol
lar of inferior valHe to be the equivalent
of the gold and the greenback dollar. SO
far as existing contracts ia this country
go, Mr.. Bland might just as well have
provided that this new dollar" shall be
of copper or lead or tin or wampum, and
that it shall be of the value of twenty in
stead OF ninety cents.

The cotton crop of the South in the last
nine years has been nearly three millions
of bales larger than it was in the nine
years preceding the war. This proves
that free labor is not inferior to slave labor,
and that the freedmen are willing TO work
aud have worked. Inquiry would show
that they are enjoying the benefit of their
labor The cry of poverty at the South
is deceptive. The planters are not so rich
as when they owned the laborers. and en-
joyed all the profits of labor, bat the laborer
now owns himself, aud in some section s
there are many la6orers who are acquiring
property by the profits of their labor
There al. hard times at the South as
there were in the times of slavery, but
some of the burdens have been shifted to
the shoulders unused to bearing them,
and they do not like it.-B0ston Traveller.

RepudiatiOn in Tennessee.
From the New York Tlib,

From the New York Tribune.
The closer we come to a real knowledge
of the attitude of parties in the South, the
clearer it is that the democratic party
means the reputation of debts and the
spoilation of the National government,
both to be effected by the men who fought
against the Union in 1861, and who now
make the Solid South. The State OF Ten
nessee is the latest instance in poiut. A
letter, given on another page, makes it as
clear as day that the same brave men of
East Tennessee who were faithful to the
Union are now faithful 10 the credit OF
their State and their country, and just as
clear that the same men who betrayed the
Union are now bent on regulating in
able to pay them all. OF the twenty-five
representatives OF East Tennessee in the
two Houses of the legislature. only
five are for reputation and all
democrats. 1t is safe to say that all five,
with their colleagues from Western Tennes
see, are in favor also of repeating the Re
sumption Act, of raiding upon the Nationa
Treasury for subsidies and claims, and OF
reputation, partial where it must be, tota
where il can be, and above all, of still fur
Their solidifying the Solid South. Thu
writer of this letter asks the country to re
member that East Tennessee is not re
sponsible for this reputation. The re
quest will be granted, and ii will be re
sponsible.
