TILLERS OF THE SOIL.
Meeting of the National Asrfculcu rfsts'
Association Yesterday.

WASHINGTON, January lO-About one
hundred and fifty delegates from agricultural
colleges and societies met at the agricultural
department to-day. Commissioner Loring
was elected chairman.
A paper read by Prof. George III. Cooke,
of Rutgers College, upon agricultural educa-
ton, was discussed by Ex-senator Sargent
and others.
Among the questions raised in the discus
sion was whether means can be devised to
induce graduates of agricultural societies to
return to their farm work instead of drifting
into other occupations The belief seemed
TO be general that there are far brighter
prospects for the young graduate who cour-
sgeously takes up his farm work and carries
II on in an intelligent manner than for the
same young man in any other career open to
him.
At the conclusion of the debate Dr. Loring
delivered an address. He predicted grand
future for all branches of the science, as he
said agriculture should be called.
The convention then adjourned until to
morrow

THE Vicksburg Commercial suggests to the
legislature of Mississippi to honor Mr.. Davis
as unanimously as they honored Mr.. Lamar,
by passing resolution requesting the sena-
tor to introduce into the senate an amend
ment or rider to the Grant hill removing the
civil and political liabilities of Jefferson
Davis. This request" says the Commercial,
sis duty the State oNes Mr.. Davis, and our
distinguished Sc nator can have no objection
to oheerfully aid heartily comply with so
reasonable demand of vast majority of
the people of tie State" We think that if
Mr.. Davis's wisi IS were consultei he would
not thus b. honored. The removal of mis-
disabilities should come to him as an act of
tardy justice, and not az a matter forced
from tie M ajority party by pressure OF fears
for General Grant.

port of a recent interview with Senator Ben
Hill upon the movement by Arthur's admin
istration to negroize the South with the as
sistance Of disafected or ego.istic Democrats
and free-lance Independents. It is a very
clear, icrcible, convincing and trenchant re-
view of q movement which h as demoralized
Virginia through Malone, and which if per-
miited to go on unopposed will afllict the
South with governments ev-ry way as objec-

berry and wrong. Senator Hill peal plainly
and without reserve, and he covers the
ground with an earnestness that leaves moth
