State Asrieultural DEPARTMENT.

The rooms of the State Agricultural De-
partment are now at No. 1907 Main street,
Richmond, where the cabinet of minerals,
the collection of woods, and the State Chemi-
cal Laboratory are located. The Commits
sioner is anxicusly DESTROYS to be furnished
with specimens of curious stones, ores,
woods &c, as we'll as of those more plenti-
full and valuable.
The Southern Planter is now in the
49th year of its existence. We have
always regarded it as the organ of our
agricultural interests, and have often pre-
sented its claims as worthy of larger
recognition in patronage and support than
it receives from our farmers. Colonel w.
G. Knight, the editor, is practical farmer
as well as one of the best informed men OF
the day in agricultural needs and progress.
He has been farmer and an editor in both
cras of our history, when agricultural and
farming econo my experienced their most
important relations to the labor-force of the
country before and after the changed con-
dition which came about in the decade OF
1S6O'-70. He thus brings to his journal
istic work a large fund of information
which the regular reader of the Planter
finds advantageous in his farming pursuits.
The Commissioner of Agriculture, Cap
tain Whitehead, is now regular con-
tributor to the Planter, and through its
columns information will be regularly
furnished of the progress of the Depart
ment in carrying forward the work en-
trusted to it. To the matter of immigra-
lion and filing up the waste places of the
State where there aie many valuable re-
sources awaiting dey elopment, the Com
missioner is devoting MUCH attention which
is regularly chronicled through the medium
of the Planter, which is large monthly
publication at only $1.25 per year.

Inconsistency of the Republican Party.


The New York EUening Post, ranking
highest in point of ability and cleanliness
of all the Republican papers of the country,
in recent issue traces the sure indications
of disease and innate weakness that have
hitherto and are now gradually sapping the
very existence of the party that once held
almost unprecedented sway in the affairs of
the nation. After reviewing the history of
the Republican party through the two cor
rupt and demoraiziDg administrations of
Grant, and animadverting upon the evil in
fuence exerted by Blaine upon the admins
istration of Garfield, and upon the subse-
quent selection of that evil genius as the
leader of the party in the memorable strug-
gle for supremacy in 1884, the Post pro-
ceeds -
cat last the party has thrown eff all dis
guise, and openly appears as the champion
of special interests against the masses of
the people. At first the advocate of mod
crate protection for limited period 10 Sin
FAINT industries as a mere incident of the
taxing prerogative, it has now become the
advocate of protection for projections
sake" as a permanent feature, and the
most important feature, of our govern
mental system. In 1876 and again in 1880
it ssavowed the belief that the duties levied
for the purpose of revenue should SO dis
criminate as 10 favor American labor"
thus clearly recognizing the principle that
duties should primarily be levied only
because they are necessary to support the
Government In 1884 it still virtually
recognized the same principle by pledging
itself to reduce the revenue, then larger
than was demanded by the necessities OF
the government economically administered,
and promising to "relieve the Taxpayer"
But in 1888 it has turned its back upon its
whole record it ridicules its own former
doctrine that duties are properly '1evied
for the purpose of revenue; it condemns
economy and demands extravaganza, in
order that more revenue may be needed;
and when even extravaganza seems to be
insufficient, it proposes to repeal the tax on
whiskey rather than lower any of the taxes
on the food and clothing of the people.
The moral side of the tariff issue is here
plainly revealed to the apprehension of the
dullest mind. The ''uncrowned king" of
Republicans has himself presented it with
remarkable force in his "Paris Message"
Nobody can improve upon his argument of
last December against the Republican plat
form of June, when he protested against
the repeal of the whiskey tax because,
"there is a moral side" to the question,
because the consequent cheapening OF
whiskey would increase its consumption
enormously, and because sit would destroy
high license at once in all the States"

The EXDOsitiOn,

The affairs of the State Exposition which
will open at Richmond October Srd, are
progressing very well. The new Expo
sition Hall is already more than half COM
pleted, and the contractor expects to turn
the job over in advance of the expiration OF
the time specified in the contract.
The canvassers in other States are send
ing in good reports in relation to the num-
Der of foreign exhibitors that will be there
and the interest which is setting in towards
Virginia from outside of her borders.
The Director General says that the coun-
ties in the State are rapidly reporting their
concurrence by official action in the objects
of the Exposition. Nearly half of them
have already appointed Commissioners to
confer with the Exposition authorizes, and
are preparing for the display they will
make. AS Augusta has not yet decided to
take part in this great progress, it is not
out of place to invite attention to the ac
ton of our neighbor county, Albemarle, in
that particular. The Fruit and Grape
GroaOer, published at Charlottesville, de.
votes lengthy article to presenting the
merits of the county, in which the fol
lowing is part of the plan to be pursued
in bringing to view it's resources :
"The county authorizes impressed with
the belief that Albemarle county can otfel
more varied and greater attractions thar
any other county of the State, and deeply
approaching the opportunity of advancing
the material prosperity of the county by
wise and judicious advertising at the expo
sition, thereby inviting immigration, have
appropriated sum of money for the pur
pose of collecting and arranging Able
marles resources, and have appointed MIR
W. n. Seamon, of Crozet, Virginia, com
missioner to take charge of the same"
In connection with the exhibit Of resour
ces, ten thousand copies of a publication
will be issued for distribution.
In presenting the matter to the people Of
Augusta again, we simply refer to thai
which has formerly appeared in advocacy
of the proposition.

Leaving the Republican Party.

Gen. Rufus Harringer, of Charlotte, N.
c., has left the republican party and Will
support Cleveland. He has been for twen-
ty years one of the leading republicans IN
North Carolina, and has been liberal with
both influence and money.
Three well-known republicans of the
eleventh Assembly district of New York
city Joined the Cleveland and Thurman
Club Monday evening, and one of them,
Mr.. Augustus Heckler, in a speech, said
many of his republican acquaintance
would take the same course.
N. o. Nelson, of st. Louis, consistent
republican, declared protectionist and one
of the largest manufacturers and handlers
of iron goods in the West, has bolted the
republican nominations, and will support
Cleveland and Thurman. He denounces
the platform in the following language: cit
was made to win on and not to believe in.
1t is campaign dodge. The protection
plank as there expressed is merely an offset
to the democratic plank for reduced tariff,
and l think represent large number OF
republicans in Directing to it. The politi
clans gave the whole thing away when they
declared for the obliteration ofinternal tax
alton to Offset their high protection. They
were pretty hard put" Mr.. Nelson gives
employment to 600 hands, and manufactures
machinery and steam plumbing goods.
Mr.. Nelson says he has already met scores
of his republican friends who think as he
does in the matter. He is one of the few
manufacturers who share their profits with
their workmen.
| A breeze has Eeen created among the
North Carolina republicans by an unafh
cial announcement from Hon. d. L. Russell
that he declines the republican nomination
for associate justice of the Supreme Court
and, furthermore, that in his letter of de-
clination he will advise the withdrawal ID
the entire republican ticket and suggest .
coalition with the prohibitionists Or thirt
party. Judge Russell gives as his opinion
that the republican ticket cannot be elect
ed, and with the present State democratic
and republican tickets the former will carry
North Carolina by 40, 900 majority. Judge
Russell was one of the delegates from hii
State to the Chicago convention, was
member of the committee on credentials o.
that body, and, it will be remembered, hao
4 au animated discussion with John s. Wise
of Virginia, on the status of the delegation
from that State. He is an astute and saga
cious politician and one of the most intiuen
tial members of the republican party il thu

MORTON NOT THE RIGHT KIND OF A MAN.
The Washington correspondent of the
Alexandria Gazette, under date of July 9TH,
says
"The nomination of Mr.. Morton for Vice
President has reminded Mr.. Perry Belmont,
chairman of the House Foreign Affairs
Committee, that that committee was once
called upon 10 investigate the charge that
Mr.. Morton, when U. S. Minister to France.
had used his official position as a means of
inducing his government to interfere in the
ChiIi-Peruvi4n affair in order to secure the
payment Of certain Peruvian bonds in
vhioh be or his friends were interested and
that that charge was not disproved. Such
man Mr.. Belmont thinks would hardly be
safe one for the Presidency should Mr..
Harrison be elected and die"
