A correspondent Of the E0Ty Evening and

rather roughly. II his account Of it be true
It was mighty poor affair. This is what he
says of it:


Let the truth be told. The advertisement
of what was to be seen at the Bridgeville fair
was answered on the last day by three hun
dred or four hundred persons, nearly double
the number of any previous day. Without
going into particulars, everybody that was
there will bear testimony that it was the most
miserable affair ever palmed of. The poul-
try exhibition comprised one old goose Of
about five pounds weight, and four very COM
mon chickens shut up in an old dry goods
box. don't think there was either sheep
or hog on the ground, while the stables Of
any good farmer or Northwest Fork could
have beaten the entire attempt at display of
horses and cattle. The racing was done BY
four horses, paid out of the gate money, and
every race was fixed up beforehand, the fast
est horse winning in no instance. 1t was
difficult to tell whether there would be any
trOtting; there were no programmes and the
officers seemed to know nothing. found
that the better class Of the people took no in
terest in it, and that the association was run
BY a set of jockeys, who have so completely
run it to ruin that the grounds should at
once be given to the plow. Such, too, |

ARMY APPRoPRIATIoy.-As Congress

June, the attempt will no doubt be
made to secure an appropriation for
the army. The schemes anG plans of
the men who have been running the
government under Grant for the last
eight years would have amounted to
nothing without the army, and they
will amount to nothing IN the future
unless they can have the military

have carried things with a high hand
and an ouistTetched arm, all resistance

by the command of the tyrant to tie

most outrageous orders at the point

administration will undoubtedly ask
for au appropriation for the army
Now, let that request, whenever made,
be met by the democratic majority
with prompt refusal. No more money
should be appropriated TO this pur-
pose than just what is absolutely
necessary-just enough TO sustain an
army of numbers sufficient 20 guard

Had Gov. Wells been little more open
in his traffic and publicly proposed to sell
the franchises Of the people to the highest
bidder, with the additional proviso added
that the sale would be confirmed by Gen
erals Grant and Sherman, through the aid

might have got higher bid. And if the
Presidency is to pass into hands that did
not receive the majority either OF the
electoral or popular vote, such sale would
be Just as constitutional if not quite as

THE President wisely proposes to snake
haste slowly" Next to doing wrong di-
rectly is to do right bunglingly. 1t is not
true, as many suppose, that ''the whole
Southern question is in nutshell" There
are complications about it which can only be
properly adjusted through the agency of patri


otic diplomacy and negotiation. Two inter
ests are to be considered and, if peace is to be
made permanent, two interests are to be
reconciled. This cannot be done arbitrarily.
Each must feel that what is proposed to be
done is necessary to the general good. al
though it may not be just what either desires.
This is the end sought by the President-Dot
a forced peace but harm onious adjustment.

Mr.. Copeland is one of the best in
formed of his class. Itwould be well
for the ultra Protectionists to real
ize the fact that the tariff is to be
changed and remodelled. At the
present time the free traders, under
the lead of the Hon. David A. Wells,
are reasonable and moderate, but
earnest opposition and any attempts
to show that cheap raw materials will
not cheaper the cost Of goods and so
assist manufacturers to secure an ex-
port trade will be likely to promote
an ultra change in the tariff. Already
we are told that the wool tariff, which
inficts an enormous tax on the raw
material, is 'sthe key to the protec-
i've system" So, we shall be told,
is the duty on copper and other raw
materials. The key to the protec-
tive system must lie in the necessi-
ties of the times. Ultra protection
has been outgrown. Manufacturers
are seeking foreign markets. With
out them, factories must be closed.
The production is greatly ahead of the
demand The relief must come from
foreign markets. These latter can
only be secured by American man
ufacturers being able to turn out
goods as cheaply as the foreigner. A
tax on the raw material is tax up
on the goods. Cheap raw materials
are indispensable. And the little
that is now being accomplished in
the matter of an export trade is only
a powerful indication of what might
be done with tariff arranged to IA
cilitate the same.

The company have taken out this week and shipped to San Francisco fourteen thousand (S14,S91,6n eight hundred and ninety-one dollars and 6i cents.

A seasonable reminder, it is hoped, may
induce those who have hitherto been care
less about attending to their stock, at this
busy season to: pay due heed tothe require
ments ofone Of the most important branch
es Of agricultural economy. Let us once
more impress on all, that cows, to give the
greatest amount of milk during the hot
weather, should have an abundance OF good
CLEAN water. On the Importance, causes
and consequences Of this, we have lately
dwelt at length.


The hot sun Of these days renders the
grass less sufficient as it natures, aad
dries up the natural supply of water, so that
it will stand the farmer in pocket, to pump
a liberal supply for his stock, four or even
five times day, wherever there is not an
abundance of clear, fresh water supplied
by natural means. The use of surface
water from stagnant pools is at once inju-
rious to the animals themselves, and to the
milk they yield.
