Gen. B. r. Butler, being at this time gentle
man out Of politics, has besn making winter
cruise in his yacht America to the West India
Islands and Florida Hs has Just returned, and
being in New York recently was, e matter Of
course, button holed by one of those bold inter

people there making money and sick Of politics,
and rather thought that the Malone movement
would be favorably received ct the South. but
that the white people there will never vote for
the Republican party NOR anything that has Re

opinion was that the young men Of the day
" have had instilled into them from the time they
were old enough to know anything, and which
is - much . part Of their existence as anything
can be, that the Republican party and everything
attached to it 10 the destroyer of their patrmony

but the facts show that when he has 80 voted he

and they do not vote" OF course, says the Bal
timore Sun as Gen. Butler has been repeatedly
defeated in his leng-cherished aspirations to be
Governor of Massachusetts,, his explanation OF
the cause of his defeat is to be taken with grain
of salt. Yet undoubtedly the repression of the
Democratic vote, not only in Massachusetts,, but
in several Of the New England States. has been
managed largely in this way. There is, more
over, both point and pertinence in his remark
that the system of intimidation that compels q
man to vote against his political principles rather
than see his wife and family starve Is the meanest
kind of intimidation.

BY the middle OF next week about all of the
winter hotels in this city will be closed for the
summer, after, perhaps, the most lucrative season
ever known in this State The capacity of the
hotels was insufficient 10 accommodate the large
crowds Of visitors thai thronged the city during
the winter, and for month it was almost i'm
possible for visitors TO find anything like CON-
Portable Accommodations here. In order TO
guard against another emergency of this kind
next season, one or two of the hotels will be en-
larged during the summer to almost double their
present capacity.

magnificent country. Experience demonstrates
the great utility Of agricultural societies, when
they are properly constituted and the members
thereof faithful In attending the meetings, and
prompt In discharging the duties imposed by
the bylaws.
In forming such a society, the primary object
Is the improvement Of its individual members in
the science and practice Of farming, by inter-
change OF ideas and experience, by friendly ird
spections and criticisms, by carefully conductor
experiments, by the gathering together and dis
terminating agricultural intelligence, etc. Social
reunion and enjoyment may appropriately be in
cidental, and the pleasure thus afforded becomes
strong bond OF union and perpetuity.
In the aggregation Of our efforts and their re.
SUITS we may surely expect to realize general
imnrOvemAnt of the farming intereat In iha In
telligent application Of labor, In the increase OF
home and farm comforts and happiness, gradua-
relief from pccuniary embarrassment. indepenl
dence and substantial prosperity. The argu-
ments in favor of the policy Of thus uniting our
efforts are well known and understood The
fear is that the society ssiN not last lOng-s0iu

Upon this depends the success Of this enterprise,
