Wf. would like to say n word if po tl'le. to check the present marner of dividing school di-tuets. It is bet ter to co two tnilef to school, than to have no -chonl at all. At present the di-trlcts deprnd almost entite'yo'' 'be tipprntiiM.nictit funds for their school-. If thi- apimrtiomuctit be cut up in peroral parts it is evident that (here ran be practically no school, where rw are the means of kcopipc a very fair one. If the district is inconveni ently large, it i bettor to wait until tlic apportionment is larger or taxes Abater before divid'ne. DURING the present administration 3 Pabinet officers have resigned, two compelled by public pressure, the third compelled by direct proof of biibcry. In the'auie time the chief a i-tants of the clerk have been in dicted, and other governmental offi cial, of high rank and sounding title have been confined to the penitentiary, ' convicted of defrauding the govern ment. What is the reason of all this? . We believe firt that there has been I more corruption among Republican ; nfTu-ial- than formerly. Its no use to i iy to hide the fact. hat shall we d. about it. Ieaert the old party of :lnriou principles and a glorious re cotd, for the rebellion-tainted, crime oriuisoued Ociuocratic party that i? now howling for admission into the j biuh places of government, far from it. G-j up a new pnrty the same in prin cijde a.-- the Ileimblicau, but differing i.t name and leader?? That is imprac ticable.

The subject wa-, handled with rate ability, and gave ample evi dence of much deep thought and re search. It was cleat ly and logiea.Iy discu-sed, and the address was fraught with instructive hints and suggestion-. The effort wa- highly creditable to the speaker and gives promise of a success ful and u-eful career in the future.. After the addres , the culture of liioom corn and other matters, e-peci ally the advantages of the Iusiitute, were discus-ed. EVENINOSKSSION. In-titttte callel to oider by the l're-i dent at .-even o'clock. The cubuie of C'a-tor Heati" was taken, and much in formation was e.iven on the subject by the President and Me-srs June.-, Mitchell, and Kennedy. The di-ens ion rc-uhed in ten of the farmer pledging themselves to hint of an acre in the bean--, and R. H. Fult-n was appointed a committee to procuie the seed. The que-tion of deep plowing and deep soinir wheat wa.i then taken up. The members gave their experience as foMow.-: Mr. Iloldtidge cultivate-com stalk groma both ways, A iucbe ilcep, harrowed it in on sod. Mr Downs best wheat was cultivated in on sod, gra-s wheat s tib'ile, wlia: cultivated in, a total failure from drouth. Mr. Hi-e la.-t year had III acics, 10 aires fall plowing wa-double the other, wheat stubbie a failure Mr. Thus. Vaughn would sow fall plouintr 1 inchr-deep, spring plowing I inches. Jas.

Mr. Knight spoke at length about spots in wheat, occurred on bottom 1 md and ouly ou fall plowing, due to chemical elements in soiL Harrowinc on sod and cultivated on cornstalks after fall plowing, sod not affected by drouth, yield 2h to 30 bushels; bc-t on sod, next best on cornstalks, plowed in S inches deep, rolled after up. Uenj Philips raised most from s d, harrow ed in very poorly. Kd. Kuir-ter fall plowed b inches deep, planted corn, and next, year sowed to wheat to pre vent spots. Thos. Kennedy raised best crops on sod, would plant two iuehes deep if ground were dry, i inch deep, if ground were tuoit. The experience of the farmer; was in favor of Grass Wheat, raised Lest crops and made bet flour. The length of wheat roots was dis cussed, views varying from twelve inches to S feet.
