The United States agricultural report
for 1871 put the average cost per rod of

fences in The State NJ $50 277.275. Tn.

The fencing in Kentueky l. put dow II
IS costing nearly sa~-fclr,A what the
lao costs; and hence the question which
should be foremost with farmers is a re
duction of this cost of fencing, or the
doing away with them altogether. Gen
orally, in this country, the law require
a good and sufficient fence, and thus fore
es some farmers to the heavy expense as
a protection from other peoples stock;
and these owners of stock are under no
obligation TO restrain them to his own
grounds, and is not responsible for their
trespasses on the land Of others not prop
erly fenced. Kentucky is gradually APP
proaching the time when there must be
some change il such things.

Cnancessor Gai,eau's AcqnitaI

Although Scovile has announced that
he has no intention, pending the trial OF
Guiteau, TO raise the question Of jnris
diction, it is quite probable that it will
be raised after the trial is over. The
Court stated to Guiteans counsel that
their waver of the plea TO the jurisdiction
nj this Stage in the case would not pre-
vent their raising il later. Scovilie 5
sbrewd associate, Robinson, is smart
enough to see that 1t would be bal policy
for them TO have the question OF juris-
diction decided in advance. lie IS con-
WINGED. knowing the law thoroughly, that
the District Court has not jurisdiction.
but he very wisely withholds the plea
until his client has been put in jeopardy
of life. AS the trial is drawing TO It's
close Guiteau's counsel will ask the Court
10 instruct the jury TO ae9uii Guiteau on
the ground that il has no jurisdiction If
the Court grants the prayer The jury must
ncauit, and Guiteau goes free; il the Court
refuses TO grant the prayer. counsel will
take exceptions to his rulings, and on
their exceptions the case, under u writ of
habeas corpus viii be taken TO the Supreme
Court of the United States. Ii the hitter
decides that the lower Court had no juris-
diction, the assassin goes free. Cork

voted with the Republicans, and, there
Tore, the Republicans are solidIy backing

upon, his claim is we'll founded, for the

II is supposed, however, that many Dem

According TO some aealous prophets.
the country is about to be ruined Its
crops have failed, aud it is not going TO
have enough grain for food. Farms are
burned up. and stock musL starve Or be
killed. These gloomy views are pressed
upon public attention by the nndenit5ie
fact thai the country has SUSTAINED great
loss in consequence of the unprecedented
drorIh. But the estimates con monty
made rs TO the extent of that Toss are
widely extrayagant, aud they nearly all
overlook the partial compensation which
comes from ability IL sell at higher prices
whatever surplus of products the coun
try has
The truth is that the country is not yet
on the road to ruin, because it has sus
tanned heavy losses in one dry season.
Its prosperity rests on TOO broad base.
The losses will be felt, doubt, but the
single fact that 10, 759, lO7 acres of new
land were purchased from the govern
meut during the last fiscal year, mainly
in the far west aud for farming purposes,
proves that the producers have not yet
concluded that farming is bad business.

"Second-The rate By river determines
the rate BY rail. The Improvement of the
river would reduce the cost of transpor
ts ton, throughout the country. The
United States Government reports show
that the cost Of transportation on the
river is but one mill per ton per mile, or
only about onc-tenth of the average cost
of the tonnage movement on the rail
roads west Of the Mississippi, and only
one sixth Of the average cost on the
Pennsylvania road.-St. LOUIS Racer Con-
reati0R.
The rate By rirer determines the rate By
rail. We want the farmers Of Western
Kentucky and West Tennessee to think
OF this proposition; AMI the more they
note il aud study it, the more real fact
and truth they will see in it. Many farm
ers on the line Of the Mobile and Ohio.
Mississippi Central, and Paducsh and
Memphis railroads affect to be Indifferent
to the improvement of the Mississippi
river, they do their shipping on these
railroads, and Of late years seldom, if
ever ship directly by the river; and they
sell their surplus produce at points on
these roads instead OF hauling TO the river
Us they did 70 years ago. All this while,
however, the great old river has been
holding these railroads in check, and reg
uiating the rates paid by rail, and the
prices paid at these points Cor the farm
er's produce. The Mississippi is natures
great highway, with the right of way
guaranteed to each and every citizen
alike. Hence, to improve its navigation,
60 as to reduce freight rates, Affects in
equal proportion all these railroad points.
When the farmers become alive to these
points, they will see to it that the ques-
tion of Improving the Mississippi shall
