The American Agricultural As
ISOLATION.

We have received two numbers of
what purports to be the Quarterly
Journal of this Association. Its
size, beauty of typography, and other
costly features, impressed us at the first
casual glance as being quite too-too
stylish to be a legitimate venture in
agricultural Journalism. 1t needed but
an inspection OF the contents to
strengthen, if not confirm, this impress
sion. The leading article was a pon
derous specimen of special pleading in
behalf of Railroad consolidation Ci) by
Mr.. Edward Atkinson, of Boston. The
gist of the article is to show by many
columns Of figures hat certain things
such as wheat, and coal, are now ship
ped long distances at very small cost,
owing the consolidation and good man
agement of the great freight lines to
the far West. A pretty argument
Must, then, the whole land be taxed
and devoured to enrich great corpora
tions-for the sole return of getting
cheaper tickets to California, and cheap
er wheat from Nebraska?
But it Is not worth while to refer to
Atkinson. His business is at the mercy
of the railroads, and his pockets are
filled with free passes, which enable
him to ride about the country, poseing
as the patron of manufacturers, ct
cetera. His article was prepared for a
purpose, and we have little doubt that
the journal OF the American Agricul-
tural Association was ditto Its latest
number surpasses the others in lauding
the Railroads. 1t ever re-publishes
Atkinson article, and apologies for
printing Hon. l.. f. Chittenden's n
swer to it.
Let our North Carolina farmers have
nothing to do with this concern. We
notice the names of two or three North
Carolina 5 among its Vice Presidents;
but they had no knowledge Of its char
acter, aud have never attended a meet
ing. We give below some extracts
from the reliable old American Dairy
man.
The editor of the Journal affects to
be non-partisan, but his own language
shows him to be the paid advocate.
The idea that if We try to stop these

4 MoST MELANCHOLY EyENT,-was
the death of young Edward A. Batche-
lor, son of Jos. B. Bachelor, Esq, on
Saturday. Few young men of Raleigh
were better known, or had more friends;
many of whom were Won TO speak of
him, in connection with another young
townsman, as making his way by real
work, minus the kid gloved methods
of make believe workers. Daring some
months past he has had charge of a
freight train on the Il. & Hamlet r. r.
On Saturday, in switching a number Of
cars at Cameron. he passed between
the tender and a box car to couple it.
when the long skirt of his ulster caught
in some way, and he was pushed back
ward along the cross-ties, until the
shouts Off negro arrested the attention
of engineer Flemming. When released
from his frighttul position, the young
man retained consciousness and ecu
~teously shook hands with those who came
to his assistance. They, however,
quickly saw that with one arm, and
several ribs broken, he could not sur
vive. kilograms were sent to Raleigh,
and his afflicted parents, brother, and
DR.. Sexton, took a special train in
charge ofCapt. Ben Lacy for Cameron
Sc miles distant. But at Moncure
we're met by a dispatch announcing that
Edward was already dead, of internal
hemorhage.
The remains were brought home at a
late hour and we're taken to Warren
ton on Monday morning for interment
in the family burying ground. Numer-
Gus floral offerings attested the sympa-
thy of friends.

The AOckAaain Murder.

There is not more quiet spot IN Dela-
ware nor more intelligent people than
are to be found in the village Of Hoe
kessin, valley which in topography
and character Is part Of Chester
county which has apparently Tapped
over into Delaware. But there is no
settlement, however refined, moral and
intelligent that is exempt from outrage
and crime, and Hockessin's turn has
come and a brutal murder is the result.
mis- is not to the discredit of Hockessin,
nor does it reflect in the least upon the
high character Of the intelligence and
morality for which that section is
noted. The murderer is but little
better than brute, so low sunk in vice
and crime that there was no basis for
the operation Of morality. Had Harri-
gan lived elsewhere than within a few
feet of the dividing line of two States
he nigh: long ago have been brought to
trial and to justice, but the lima was a
protection TO him, and he was allowed
to go ON in his wickedness until mur'
der has been the result. This is one OF
the Abnormal effects Cf crime tina,
somehow cannot be checked until tht
crime is committed, and which exists
in every community. We would say
nothing to bias public opinion agains
the prisoner so soon to be tried Tor hi
life, but we state nothing but what is
well-known and admitted fact that
Harrigan has been an outlaw and the
present crime with which he is charged
is only one of numb not so bad as
the present one only because they were
net 50 fatal in consequences.

only according to law The sequel
proves that after all regular army SOL
diers and officers are Ike other people,
and Sergeant Mason when he came
within half an inch OF sp..t1ering the
brains Of the wretch over his ell, We're
prompted by the same feeling that actU-
ates nine people ont Of ten. Neverthe.
less Sergeant Mason has been guilty OF
a very un.oldierly Y act, and will beeisi
ted with the risors of military law for
doing som'thiu. which nearly every
body feels like doing, and one half of
them would do if they hal chance. II
is great pity though that Sergeant
Mason could not restrain his feelings,
as he has nut not only himself in jeop-
ardy, but he has compelled his GOV ern.
ment to inhict punishment which
nine tenths of the people will condemn.

A Remar h able Year Of weather.

The weather the present year has
been remarkable, setting the predic.
tions of the weather wise completely at

the city Of Chio-in Turkey. Then
came the extraordinary rains and floods
Of the Spring in England, France, Spain
and other points of the Eastern Cont
nent. These were followed in this
country by a succession ot cyclones
like the one that destroyed New Tim

frightened ouI Of their wits by tn ap
pearance of a couple OF comets which

Senator Ii scx ISkes IL BAc K +.

a few days ago all Republican news
paperiom was in an &c stacy of SaluDrious
delight at the report that Senator Beck,
OF Kentucky, had become most exceed
ingly liberal, and had declared his in.
tention to vote in the Senate for lie.
publican President pro TEN. when the
Senate meets in September, even though
the New York Senators were not
elected. We thought the news too good
to be true at the time it was promul.
gated, and expected soon to hear Of a
denial from the Senator. We rather
think that the liberal instincts of the
Senator ompted him in the goodness
of his heart to make the assertion at
tributed to him, for being of Scotch
nativity he possessed nothing in com
mon with the double distilled Bourbon
Democracy of kentucky, but he is a
Democrat nevertheless, and to be a
Democrat in Kentucky means no half
way milk and water Democracy, bui
the pure article. AS might have been
expected the Senator has been compelled
to modify the opinions he is said to
have expressed and now it stands ac-
cording to the doctoring, that Senator
Beck casually said that the Democrats
should take no advantage resulting Gi.
rectly from the death Of the President,
if he should die, that when the Senate
meets the first thing to do would be tc
elect President pro TEN. even befor,
the New York Senators could be sworr
in, that the officer thus elected woult
be Democrat, but that after wards tn
Senate could elect whoever it please
President. If Senator Beck mean
what he says, that the Eemocrati
party should take no advantage of tn
dea,h of the President, we cannot Sc
how he can help but vote for Repnt
lican presiding officer Of the Senat
after 1t is organizet and the New Iorl
Senators admitted in December,as hav
ing Democratic officer in place OF Vic
President Arthur would be the greates
kind Of an advantage taken of tn
death Of the President We are surprise
that Senator Beck should have ever es
pressed liberal thought so long as b
pretended to represent the Kentuck
