The Principle Involved.

1t is natural and polite for the Demo-
cratic party to make all it can out Of the
charge Of bargain in the nomination Of
Senate officers by the Republican caucus
While they have had to take back the direct
charge Of corrupt bargain between the
Republicans and Gen. Malone, yet they
deal with the subject as an existing fact,
and direct all their elocution to arousing the
indignation of the country against such po-
litical perfidy! They we'll know there has
been no bargain. Butthe insinuation answers
the end of evading the direct issues pre-
sented and relieving themselves of the revo-
lutionary purpose to defeat the will of .the
majority. The real, direct, practical issue
presented in the Senatorial contest is
whether constitutional majority shall rule
the minority or whether the minority shall
rule the majority. The majority of one,
made up Of the Vice Presidents vote, enti-
ties the Republicans to the control of the
Senate and all OF its appointments, and it
is the principle involved in this face that
constitutes the contest. 1t is not whether
the Republicans shall appoint few sympa-
thizers to offices now held by Democrats
We're that the matter in controversy, there
are hundreds of offices In the departments
filed by Democrats, where vacancies could
be made at the asking of Republican Sena-
tors, and Republicans provided for. 1t is
not that. 1t is whether legal and constitu-
tional majority shall rule. 1t will not be long
before the country will fully understand
the situation, and arrive at a proper conclu-
sion in reference to it. In the South, where
Democratic partizan papers, it will take
sometime to have clear I'm Outstanding of
it. 1t will come, and with it, condemna-
ton of the marplots who are Obstructing
the business OF the country in the obsta-
Giles they arc throwing in the way of its ex-
ecution. 1t is not whether Messrs. Gorham
and Riddleberger shall be elected to the Of
fees for which they have been designated,
but whether the majority OF the Senate
shall be permitted to direct the action and
the business of the Senate in tie way that
maiorities have uniformly directed them. 1t
is a principle that underlies our entire sys-
TEN of government and the effort Of the
Democrat minority in the Senate to defeat
its practical operation will have anything
but a favorable effect upon the future Of
that party. They have attempted useless
distractions before and lost by it. They
will lose by this, for the popular conscious
ness will condemn such revolutionary pur-
pose and hold to severe responsibility par
ty that subordinates the interests of the
country to mere partizan behests.

to be the Oldest Methodist now living.
She joined the Methodist Church in Derby,

There are IA, 7Sl Methodists in Iowa, an

The annual National Conferences of the
Dunkard or Germaa Baptist Church was
in session in Ashland, 0aio, recently. The
only college belonging to this denomination

That the trustees OF Audover Seminary
believe in muscular Christianity is evident
from the fact that they employed DR.. Sar-

sum, to make a physical examination of
every student, and to lay down course of
appropriate exercise.
Among the members of the Committee
of Twenty-Five which has been ap-

Boston, and for the endowment of pro-
fessorship in the Hamilton Theological
Seminary similar to that in the Rochester

money. A curious fact about the will is
that the word Baptist throughout is spelled

its greatest help when the establishment and
maintenance of an agricultural press became
possible. The prejudices against book knowl-
edge in agriculture had been very general
and very strong, and the idea of learning
ANYTHING about farming from 8 man that had
sufficient education to write for book or
paper was regarded as impossible. The son
knew and would acknowledge no other
teacher than the father, and he that would
attempt anything out of the old beaten path
that had been followed SO long that the MEM
ory of man runneth not to the contrary, was
regarded as wild man or fanatic. By de-
grees these prejudices have given way be-
fore more enlightened public sentiment. A
few quarterly and monthly journals devoted
in part to agricultural subjects were first able
to make poor living, and as time rolled on
q few weekl;es were published with column
or two upon agricultural subjects. We be-
lieve the New York Tribune was the first
daily paper in the world to devote a portion
of its space to the occupation of the farmer
On this coast the Daily Record, under the
same management that now controls the

department in April, 1873, and has since
maintained it. So strong has the public de-
mand for information on agricultural subjects
become since that time. that now the proprie-

general circulation in the State has
followed the lead of this journal,
to the extent of giving in their weeklies
more or less space to agricultural subjects
The local weeklies also generally give some
space to the same subjects. These facts are
among the strongest evidences of agricultural
Improvement, and are to the credit Of the
farmers of our State particularly. No other
State in the Union demands and sustains so
much agricultural literature, and no other
State has a more enterprising and intelligent
class of farmers. Indeed, there is no branch
of agriculture in which our people engage
that we do not excel. In wheat culture, in
fruit culture of all kinds. in small and large
fruits, in the hardy and the semi tropical, we
excel all other States and in grapes, raisin
and wine-making we are gaining advances
over every other country. In the stock de-
partments, whether in producing horses.
horned cattle, sheep or swine, we are taking
an advanced position among the most sue
cessful States and countries. Thus we have
reversed the old rule that ignorance of agri-
cultural literature is an evidence of agricult-
ural skill and knowledge, and we have estab-
lished in its stead the reverse of this rule, to
wit That a community of farmers that read
the most on the subjects of their calling sue

FROM YOSEMITE.

A correspondent in the Yosemite Valley
writing to the RECORD UNION under date
of June 29th, says:
This being day of leisure, l visited the
three hotels in the valley, and after search
ing the registers thereof, find that l, ,56I
regular visitors either by stage or private
teams have arrived this season. The
visitors up to date will compare in num-
bers favorably with the best year, which
was in 1875. Since that time the travel
has gradually fallen off every year until
the present one. Under the present man
agement of the valley, and the States
liberal appropriation, the travel will un-
doubtedly increase from year to year. The
work of the present Commissioners is al
ready very perceptible to any one riding
over the roads here, and the sounds and
echoes OF the giant cartridges as the rocks
are torn asunder which now obstruct the
roads, are listened to with wonder as the
reverberation is continued from wall to
wall of this marvellous valley. Your
informant also visited the camp
ing grounds up the valley, where
great register is kept by Mr.. Harris.
Three hundred names are recorded thereon
for this season. 1t is safe to say that there
have been 500 campers here thisseason thus
far, as many camp at other places and are
not registered, which. added to the stage
passengers, would make 900 visitors up to
date. Rev. j. K. Mclean of Oakland and
party of sixteen are camped on the banks
of the Merced, and their nine tents artist
ically arranged, present quite village.

L., IN bo+ Ill
warm, the thermometer ranging up to
90; but the visitors from the lower valleys
think the weather delightful. Among the
distinguished guests to the valley this sea-
son are found recorded the Duke of Suther-
land, Duke of Athol, Count Vitzhum,
Count Hohenthal and Baron Walterhausen
of Germany, General Kilburn of Presidio
Hall McAllister and family San Francisco,
L. B. Miner, Jr., of Benicia, w. T. Wallace,

The principal attraction here now, outside
of the late rise in the waterfalls caused by
the melting of the snow, is the comet,
which presents fine appearance from Gla-
cier Point, its position being directly over
the Yosemite Falls. The usual pastimes
will be INDUCED in here on the Fourth of
July-horse-racing, and dance in the
evening. The climate and made soil of this
valley recommend themselves to all who
wish to speed their horses the ground be-
ing of spongy nature, makes it easy on
horses feet. The State Engineer is busy
looking after the best interest of the val
ley, and his report will be anxiously looked
for. This is the proper time to while away
month of quietude and leisure in the fin
est climate to be found anywhere, and the
daily arrivals of camping parties show
that they fully appreciate that fact. The
falls are high. the grass is good, fishing
splendid and to all the State says come.

Agricultural Improvement.

The era Of general agricultural improve
ment and advancement in this country, and
indeed in the world, dates from the era of
the establishment of agricultural journals
and agricultural associations. From the
downfall of Rome TO the feudal system
throughout Europe, the cultiyators of the
soil were serfs and slaves, and agriculture
itself was regarded as a menial occupation.
The organization of agricultural associations
by such men as Sir John Sinclair, Sir Hum
phrey Davy and Arthur Young, and the
countenance given them in this country by
such men as Washington, Hamilton and JEFF
ferson, marked an era in agriculture from
which we can trace the great improvements
in the art itself and in the social and general
standing of those engaged in the calling
Following the establishment of agricultural
societies then came the era Of the preparation
and publication of agricultural books, in
which practical and scientific questions relat-
ing to agricultural practices were discussed in
an able manner. Agriculture, indeed, opened
up new field for scientific minds to explore,
and the learned Of England, France and Ger
many We'd with each otherin investigating and
Calculating its scientific and practical ques-
tions. But agricultural improvement received
