Senator Bayard On the Political Stu

The Wilmington DELI Morning Ne'cs
of Wednesday publishes an interview
with Senator Bayard with regard to the
political situation consequent upon the
death of the President and the elevation
Of General Arthur to the Presidency.
Senator Bsyard thought comment at
present was peculiarly uniting, but,
after giving expression to his sorrow, he
went on to say that, after all, the coun-
try was going under an administration
that il had in a great measure prepared
itself for: there would be no crisis nor
any evil resulting from it. Referring to
the question as to the immediate resigna-
ton of the Cabinet, he said he, of course,
took it for granted that the members
would at once resign. Such course
would be proper, and according to Gus
tom. He said the people would not take
in good part any change in the admins
tration that would stop in any measure
the good work, for instance, like that
against the lnstigatOrs of the star route
frauds, and that as Arthurwas dexterous

The Gnano Bill.

Rocky FORD, September S.-Ed1t0r
Morning Ne,cs: 1 notice in the NEWS
that some one has been simple enough to
ridicule the member who offered Dill
in the Legislature to prevent the manu-
facture and sale of guano in the State.
He certainly has not been around much
in the country to hear the tales OF woe
and dissster-all from using commercial
fertilizers without the ability to meet
their ironclad notes now up before the
courts. and not a dollar to pay. A
prominent merchant at Millen told me
today that his guano notes were being
settled up very slowly, and nearly all say
they have bought their last. A gentle
man told me TO day that every year ne
buys he comes out that much short ana
when he depends on compost he comes
out clear aud squares up last year
guano notes. He is done with 1t.
I hope the level-headed member referred
to will not be discouraged by the defeat
of his bill and the ridicule heaped upon
him by those who think they are very
smart. He evidently has something IN
his head besides the interest OF manu-.
factories, railroads, lawyers and doctors.
Would that all our members had their
heads as level on the interest OF farmers.
Guano keeps us all so poor that it is i'm
possible to buy any improved imple-
ments for farming, so we are compelled
to use the old inferior style. going three
to six times to corn and cotton row;
4 - 10 of W. UtQ0
10 get hold of the very poorest cows that
will give one quart per day, nogs 10
weigh from rs to $50 pounds, sheep that
will shear from II to 4 pounds. Let us
stop guano, get improved farm nipple
ments, kill and sell our worthless stock,
pass the no fence law, buy good stock,
feed well, live ct home, and COD Will
bless us. E. S. MALLORY.
REMARKS. We make room for the
views of our correspondent, though we
regard his argument as unsound. Farm
ers are not compelled to purchase COM
mercial fertilizers, and to persist in do
ing so, even to the bringing upon them
selves the troubles and disasters named
by our correspondent, is not very cred
liable to their common sense. AS well
might they complain of any other debt
that arraigns them before the courts.
Guano notes are given for as valuable
consideration as other notes, and, we
think, have equal claim to prompt pay
ment. OF course it would be better for
farmers to compost and manufacture
their fertilizers at home, but will they
do it2 And if they do not whose fault is
it? Are they so weak and foolish that
they must have laws to keep away temp
tation from weakness and folly2 The
State cannot legislate common sense
into its citizens, and because some are
without discretion, that is no reason for
depriving others of their just rights.

1t is announced that the Reading Rail-
road and Iron Company has leased out
its iron furnaces at Port Carbon and Mi
nersville, Pa, which have been idle for
years, and they will at once be put in
operation. A number Of private con-
Germs along the same road, idle for years,
are now to he pot to work. The great
activity is attributed to the enormous
demand for railroad iron, and it is said
that 4, 01S miles of railroad will be built
in the United States this year, against
8, 1876 last year. One Philadelphia firm

The French Invasion Of Tunis.

Sixty thousand soldiers have already
gone from France to Tunis. Six mil
lion dollars is the estimated cost of their
campaign. The war has been wsged for
months. 1t is still no nearer conclusion.
France has indeed gained the supreme
political power in the Tunlsian Govern
ment, but this is but little gained for the
men and money spent. The truth is
that civilized nations but little realize
the necessity for using simply over
whelming power when they deal forcibly
with barbarous and savage nations.
England's Zulu and Afghan wars,
our own with the Indians, and now
that of France with Tunis plainly show
that halfway measures will not do. 1t
will not do to fight one battle and then
treat for terms. The war must be fought
until the bitter end, and until there is no
doubt Of what the conquered must do
and rest content with. France is quick

the Stalwarts to test whether there is
"such thing as retribution." Let

Guiteau ticket and offer it TO the Repub-

Just before one of the Presidential
elections, Republican Congress patriot
cally passed a resolution declaring that
in making selections for positions in the
various departments, "cdeterls pdribus,"
Federal veterans should have the prefer
ence. The Union soldiers of Washington
have organized an association to find
why this resolution has not been carried
out They find that the Union soldier
is sadly neglected; that he is not at the
head of a single department; that he
gets no offices. They discover, more
over, the reason of this-that nepotism
prevails to an alarming extent at the
capital, every member of the Cabinet
and head Of a department having scores
of relatives, sisters, cousins and aunts,
either under him, or in some other
bureau. Old Kirkwood has six relatives
under him, Green B. Raum, twelve, and
the others in proportion.
These relatives fill all the offices, and
there are, therefore, no places for the
the ex-soldiers.
