It is in vain, however, for the Con,eretOI to at

AS the President has faithfully striyen
for peace, so he has with equal fidelity
striven in all ether things to discover and
carry out the wishes of the people. As
he promised he has performed. He has
had no policy to oppose to the country,
and he has enforced all laws with con
scie ntious frmness. He has done more.
He has introduced the beginnings of a
civil service reform more thorough in its
method, more comprehensive in its
scope, more elevated in its purpose
than four years ago Mr.. Jenckes, the
most sanguiDe and enthusiastic Of civil
service reformers, dared to propose, much
less to hope for. Small men may sneer
at this, and greater ones may think more
could have been done. But the persis-
tent, laborious, honest hearted President
has gone far ahead of the people. Al
most alone in the face Of distrucs and
cold support, and active hostility, quiet
ly, cautiously, but with unfagging deter
mination, he has done for reform more
than all other men IN the country have
done, or could do.


In the midst Of these labors he has
dealt conscientiously with the regular
work Of his office, with appointments,
with foreign affairs, with the incalculabe
crush of business brought up by each
session of Congress. Aad all this he has
done in the face OF the meanest and
bitterest personal assaults ever made on
an honest man in a high station. He
has made mistakes, and acknowledges
them. But he has never made the mis-
take of thinking his personal vindication
depended on what could be said for or
against him, instead Of on what he him
self could do. No yituperation, how
eyer stinging Nc insult, however gall
ing no aspersion, however cruel and
unjust, has swerved him from the silent
performance of his duty, as he under
stood it. Was he wrong in. thinking
that he could safely leave his Reputation
to his countrymen Did he err il be-
lieving that the nation whose name will
be honored forever by his character and
services Waald see them overborne by
slander and malice? Apart FROM all the
personal bearings of the question, will
not the people in the end judge calmly
and correctly Of the value of his fidelity,

The high price Of mutton has elected
universal comment, but the advance,
present and prospective in wool, has
been taken as matter Of course; and
yet the price paid for live sheep has been
nearly in ratio to the value of the fleece
they carried. The present price of wool
is in consequence Of the elimination OF
flocks, on account of the depressed state
of the markets for the last few years
Last year wool ruled low, and many
farmers fearing that the bottom had
dropped out Of wool, diminished their
flocks, or got rid of them altogether
Wool is now high, and the same class
OF men are now as anxious to again en-.
gage in this industry, as they were be-
fore to get out of it. There is no doubt
but as permanent stock, one year with
another, in all localities favorable to
their well being, that wool and mutton
must always be a profitable one. They
pay in the fleece and carcass both, but
10 be successful in any industry, and es-
pecially that of Agriculture, one must
not become disguised because of occa.
sional depressions in the branch of bu.
siness chosen.


Corn is low this season. It was so
last. Two large crops have filed the
cribs of the country, but it would not
for that reason be policy for the farmer
raising corn, to neglect his coming crop.
Wheat is high especially the prime
grades of white wheat 1t will go high
er, and if the fears Of light crop of
Winter wheat this season should be
fulfilled, prime grades of these fours
would be beyond the reach of the mass
es. This would, however, be no reason
for them to enter upon the cultivation
of white Winter wheat nor even Winter
wheat at all, since its successful growth
can only be accomplished in certain To-
calities and under certain conditions.


So with wool, where the facilities for
keeping sheep are good, and grasses
suitable to them are found, there is no
stock that will pay better, one year with
another but to be successful in this as
in any other branch Of Agriculture, one
must not change with every fuctuation
in the market. We hear of offerings
for the clip at the shearing yards st the
West at 75c. In New York mixed fleeces
are quoted at 7Sc. At the great quar-
terly sales of colonial wool in London
no decline was experienced worthy Of
note, and the market was firm. This
seasons clip in the United States will
not be large, and as high as wool now
Is, we think there is a bright future for

The most surprising thing is, how
ever, that Beriah Brown, the editor of
the DISPATCH, who was notoricusly the
enemy of the Government during the
war, and one of the most rampant and
persistent advocates of "peace at any
price" should now Indignantly defend
q course of conduct charged against
Judge McFadden, which during the war
was deemed by him the height of patri-
otism Courier.


That, if true, would not be more sur
prising than that man claiming the
social position of Mr.. Struve should
give currency to a personal SANDER
without word of tru h in it. Beriah
Brown was never convicted by act or ut
terance of hostility to his government;
never uttered a sentence or sentiment
in justification of secession, or in aid or
comfort of the public enemy in time of
war, nor sought or advocated peace on
any other terms than q restoration of
the Union under the constitution; and
was never interfered with by the civil or
military authorities for any act of ac-
taal or constructive hostility to the rul-
ing powcrs. If Mr.. Struve had substi-
tuted the name of Selucius Garfield for
Beriah Brown. his charge would have
been susceptible of proof, and he would
only have to go to Portland to find the
leading Grant editor of Oregon whose
paper had been suppressed during the
war for giving aid and comfort to the
enemy. That is not surprising, how
ever.
