Correspondence.

FREDERIcvHLE, August 2s 1881.
Editor Ardldnche:-I was surprised
to find that according to o. j. Bells
communication there were so many
farmers opposed to the organization of
a farmers club in this county, and that
Mr.. Bell thought it advisable to first
organize township clubs. Our county
is too sparsely settled as yet to talk of
township organizations will venture
TO say that if we undertook that meth
cd, the effort would die in the bud.
The attendance will be slim enough
even as county club But Mr.. Bell
is certainly right when he speaks of
clubbing at home on our own farms.
Let our work be in the soil, and not on
paper, or in blowing off the surplus
gas in attempting to edify fellow-mem-
bers at a club meeting: Not in eluci-
dating pet habbys and theories, but in
giving practical workings and expert
ence on the farms. ID.

The Corn Crop Destroyed and Farm
erS Obliged TO Sell Their Stock.
LOUISVILLE, KY, Aug. 25.-The city
is being flooded with stock, a number
of countrymen are bringing all they
can spare TO sell, being unable TO feed
them except at a great loss. Several
who were approached on the subject at
the stock yards said that even if they
disposed of their stock at a sacrifice,
and were compelled to replace the same
in the fall at full prices, it would be
cheaper than TO feed what they had no
actual use for until the fall season. A
number said that they were compelled,
if they kept their usual number of
head on hand, to come to the city and
haul out corn to feed on. The above
facts were cleaned from persons living
in Jefferson, Shelley, Oldham, Owen,
Spencer, Scott and other counties
throughout the State.
AS a general thing, there has been no
rain of any consequence for nearly two
months, and early corn is entirely de-
stroyed, while the late cropis so badly
damaged that even with rain, the crop
will not be more than q half yield. In
many of the sections named, the crops
are not only injured by the heat and
drouth, but the small water courses
have bsen dried up and stock is suff-
ering more for want of water than for
lack of food.
A person from Oldham county says:
''The water in the section l have just
visited is so scarce that whole families
have to use the same water for wasning
purposes, and then this is all they have
to give their stock for drinking,

This is a nIeteoric Month.

To the student and lover of as
trouomy, who delights to sit in
pensive mood and watch the
heavens powdered with multitude
nous stars, as we'll as the "two souls
with but single thought" who sit
out beneath the azure-hued, star-be-
jeweIed canopy and count meteors,
not forgetting, erst while, to claim
the ''quite too utterly too-tOo yum
gums, the clear, cool nights of the
past week have been very interest
ing. 1t may not be generally known
that this is meteoric month, but
so it is, and nightly the heavens are
filed with shooting stats. The star
gazer OF the indianapolis Journal
says:
1t would be interesting to know
whether these far-away fire-flies are
fragments of a bursted world, or
material fora new one yet to be. But
there they are, and the gazer ON a
night will be apt to see them dashing
hither and thither like swallows on
a frolic, each apparently endeavor-
ing to swing a longer and brighter
tail behind him than his fellows.
This is a free exhibition, and the
grandest man can look at, for here
he catches a glimpse of the yet un-
finished work of world building.

stirring speech in favor of encOur-
aging immigration and a new ava
kening of the state in the develop
ment of her material resources. The
convention was also addressed by

IN ITs TRUE LlGHT.

The failure of the republican par
ty to nominate a candidate for gov
ernor, and the coalition of a large
number Of the state leaders Of that
party with the Malone movement,
was not unlocked for by observers
of the political situation in Virginia.
1t might have been expected that
the rank and file of the party OF
"high moral ideas" would eoalesce
with reputation and dishonesty
when they have such Il broad exam
pie in the action OF the national
leaders of that party. Indeed the
republican administration itself has
smiled at and encouraged the party
of reputation in Virginia by every
means in its power. While the
good people of the country may
have cause to regret that repudia-
tion should receive support and
countnance from any quarter, yet
the democratic party of the nation
is to be congratulated on the fact
that the republican party which
heretofore has inveighed so bitterly
against the south for its alleged ten
deney toward Reputation has, at
last, come out and shown its true
hand. The support given by the
national republican party to repu-
diation in Virginia shows how false
and shallow are the hypocritical
protestations of that party that it be-
lieves in a strict maintenance OF
public credit, both state and nation
al. 1t has proven itself party OF
false pretenses. We rejoice, in a
partisan sense, that the republican
party has taken upon itself the re-
sponsibility of endorsing repudia-
ton. They cannot deny the accusa'
tion or shake off the stigma. 1t will
cling to them and much of theil
false campaign thunder is now dis
sipated. How long, we ask, will
it be before a party, which thus
shamelessly endorses reputation, il
held in power, will proceed to de-
ny the national debt itself and ruin
the country?

building and no adequate provision
for this purpose could then be made
by levying a direct tax. The books
for 1879 were in the hands of the
collector and could not be changed.
The rate of taxation for 1879 could
not be fixed until April of that year,
the tax would not 60 into the hands
of the collector until the September
following, and no levy could be
made until September, 1880, orseven
months after the house was to be
finished under the contract. Be
sides, single years tax would have
gone but little ways towards paying
for the house. A small court house
fund ($6000.O0) had been raised from
insurance on the old building and
the safe OF old material, but this had
been more than expended in the
cash payment on. the lot, 1850. 90,
and the architects commission (24
per cent. sor $4,000 on the plan
adopted by the court. The lot on
which the old courthouse stood had
been sold and realized $S529.l2, but
this was on one, two and three years
time. $274252 was.paid in Septem-
Der, 1880, and the remainder isstill
unpaid.
TWAS therefore practically impos-
sible to build the house except by
using the surplus of the railroad
j fund that might remain after pay
ing the interest on our bonded debt.
No courthouse tax has been levied
except for, the year 1881, and this
was merely substituted for the rail-
road tax and occasioned no increase
of taxation upon the people.
The progress of the work was by
no means so rapid as had been ex-
pected. The entire year, 1880,
and the first half of 1881. having
passed away before the contractors
announced that they were ready to
turn over the building to the COM
missioners. On Tuesday, Augusta,
1881, the commissioners met at the
request of p. Fl. Mccormack one
of the contractors, who had notified
them that he desired a final settle
ment ON that day.
The commissioners insisted that
the house was not ready for occu-
pancy, or completed according to
contract, for the following reasons
The contractors had failed to fur
nish blinds for 80 windows on the
courtroom floor.
They had failed to provide a
stairway, or any other suitable
means of access to the tower.
They had failed to provide fig
ure of Justice for the east front OF
the building.
They had failed to wash off and
point the exterior of the building,
so as TO enable them to deliver it tC
the county in proper condition.
They had failed to lay drainage
or sewer pipes in the basement Of
the building, or through the yard
to the street. This omission the
commissioners have been compelled
to supply at cost of 1881 %.
They had failed to provide other
items called for by the contract and
which the commissioners have sup
piled, at cost of $185 so.
The cost to the county of these
items. in case the commissioner:
should be compelled to supply them
all, would be, according to the esti
mate of the architect, as follows:
