THE Iowa Press Association, at its late meeting at Keokuk, expressed a wish to take a trip over the Pacific railroad immediately after election, and through their President, Gen. HENDRICK, opened a correspondence with Col. C. G. HAMMOND, the Superintendent of the road. He coolly replied, giving the passenger rates, wholesale and retail, but declining to dead-head the members of the Association on their proposed excursion. This action of Superintendent HAMMOND, remarks a cotemporary, carries the war against dead-heads, not exactly into Africa, but into Iowa, and will probably have the effect to terminate the proposed excursion at this end of the route. A list of dead-heads over the Pacific railroad since its completion would be interesting statistics. =====

WORK was began a few days ago, and is to be vigorously prosecuted, on the ship canal from the Mississippi across to the waters of the Gulf near New Orleans.— There is every reason to believe that the canal will greatly facilitate navigation, and lessen the obstacles which now retard the growth of direct commerce botween the Mississippi valley and foreign countries. With a proper canal, river steamers can make their way directly to the gulf, and either at Ship Island or Mobile can meet vessels fitted for foreign trade, thus avoiding entirely the delays and risks and expenses of the lower river passage. =====

and taost powerful argumont. The Democrat sees no seose in denying the ballot to a woman who can jump 11 feet inches, when plenty of male cripples who cannot jump at all veto early and often? May be this is not gnud logic. But it is quite ns good as some other "reasoning" on that subject. For example, soya LUCY STONK, because woman begets soldiers, she thould have the same privileges as a soldier, 4 because some lazy liu^brinds are supported by smart wives, all wives should vote. These logical jumps are every bit as startling as any Mifs MURPHY ever made!

COMMISSIONER CAPRON, of the Department of Agriculture, receives frequent aci counts from the different

States of the suc

cess of the new cereals introduced by the Department from Europe, and distributed for experimental purposes among the leading agriculturists of the conntrr.— Toe President of tbe State Agricultural College of Michigan reports the result of their experiments with eight new varities of oats, five of which were introducad and distributed by the Commissioner. The particulars of the mode of culture, weight and measure of he product, and ratio of straw to grain are given with great precision, but too much in detail for a newspaper article. The Excelsior, Somerset, White, Schonen| Black Swedish, and Surprise averaged over G4 bushels per acre, the Somerset yielding a tri fie over 64 bushels, and the

White Schonen 62$, weighing 37J pounds. The average product ot the five varieties introduced by the department is 64J bushels per acre, weight 37 pound per bushels. Of the three varieties introduced by private enterprise, (the Norway, Prince Edward's Island, and Brooks,) the average yield was 65| bushels weight 31 pounds. When it is considered that the aggregate oat crop of the United -States exceeds 176,000,000 bushels, and tbat the prodffct of the old varieties has ranged from only 26 to 36 bushels per acre, the importance of this introduction of more productive sorts is obvioas. Few crops require more frequent changes of seed than the oat, which soon deteriorates. It is the intention of the Department to import and distribute extensively, this winter, those varieties that have proved the most productive and valuable the past year.

When WEBSTER died PIERCE wrote theso beautiful words: "The great heart of tho nation throbs heavily at the portals of his gravo." Alas I that bis own eloquent and affecting utterance cannot bo employed to expro3S the national fooling at his own final departure.

But in losing him tbe Ropublic does not lose one who has contributed to its perpetuity or its honor, and tho turf above his remains will not bo bedewed with the tears of hi3grateful countrymen. A generous people «vill strive to forget his faults and remember his virtues, but thoy and their possessor will soon pass from tho memory of men, and live only in tho chronicles of the past. The fame of LINCOLN will be young, his momory his country's proud heritage, when the names of PIERCE antfrBucnANAN will be mentioned only as men who used the opportunities of the loftiest station to write "disgrace" upon the national escutcheon.

It is always pleasant to praise tho dead. It is always right to speak tho truth. Wo will not help to rear a monument of lies over the grave of any inan. As a private citizen FRANKLIN PIERCE was beloved by those who knew him intimaloly. But as a willing tool in the unscrupulous hands of theslavo power he bscame a curae to bis countrynun and a roproach to his country. His friends may mourn the departure of their friend, but the people of the United States will see no occasion for sharing in their grief.

ONE of the first cases to bo argued in the SupromeCourt is the YKRCIER case, on a petition for habeas corpus to the military commander in Mississippi who holds YERQER under sentence of the military commission which condemned hint to death. The efforts of bis coiansel will bo to obtain a decision as to the constitutionality of the reconstruction laws of Congress. This question was discussed last summer before Chief Justice CAASE, on an application to him for a writ of habeas corpus, but the application.was not pressed In order that the matter might be brought before the Supreme Court.

OUR READERS aro aware that a negro is running on .the Democratic ticket in Mississippi for Secretary of Stato. He is said to be a very stupid fellow, and not much better than his associates. This wo can readily believo. Should be, by a sad dispensation of Providenco and tho Kuklux, be-elected, it will be curious to noto the character of tbe crowing our North, ern Democratic cotemporaries will indulpn in nvnr tho event.

THADDEUS STEVENS onc- tried that. Few who were then in Congress forget, with what terrible rage tho eld statesman fulminated against the Wall street destroyers ofthe public credit but his bill was a bull against the comet. Gold went higher) and the gamblers laughed at the clumsy device invented to thwart them. There i3 an enactment in Illinois against selling grain without first having it to sell, but the flrit man who undertook to enforce it met with signal discomfiture. Wo doubt if he has evor been heard of since. The bulls and bears must be left to gore and bite oach other, as long and as savagely as tbey please, so far as all attempts to stop tbeu by penal laws are concerned. In the meantime, let there be a public sentiment formed which shall make it just as disreputable for a banking firm, or its individual members, to bet on the price of gold as to bet on the turn of a card at a faro table. If this cannot bo done, it would be folly to attempt the greater achievement of crushing gold and stock gamblers by statute.

EX-PBKSIDENT FRANKLIN PIERCE died at his homo in Concord, New Hampshire, on Friday morning. He had been ill for some months with a dropsical affcclion.

Mr. PIEBCE poscsaed no very marked traits of character, and was never regarded as a man of unusual intellectual or moral force. He was an amiablo gentloman, a genial companion, a true friond and a tolerably good lawyer. Made President by tho accent of availability, ho became the tool of men compared with whom ho was but pigmy by tho sido of giants, no called around him—or had fornad upon bim—an ablo cabinet, and exponded most of the onorgies of his administration in enforcing tho decroes of tbe slave powor. His name is indissolubly linked with tho Kansas iniquities, and the chapter of history on which shall be recorded tho most shameful acts of any admioistration this country has ever known, wiil boar record to the fidelity with which FRANKLIN PIERCE, President of the United States, served his masters.

Tho reception was held immediately after the service, at tho residence of ibe brido'a father, from eight until twelve o'clock, and between those hours there was a constant throng of friends eager to offer tho heartiest congratulations on the happv consummation of a union of two loving hearts so fully in accord. In those congratulations it is with the deepest sincerity we join. If George and Mollie are as happy as their good qualities and mutual fitness promise they will surely be happy enough.

No better token of the regard with which the wedded pair are hold in tho hearts of their hosts of friends could be givon than that of the magnificent collection wedding gifts in the many various forms into wbich gold, stiver and gems are wrought.

Tbe steamer Young America loft her landing'at tbe foot of Walnut street, yostorday morning, at five minutes past ntne o'clock, having waited four hours beyond the appointed time of departure. On board her werePhillipp3 and Shannessay, and a party of sevtnty or eighty nien, including a few boys, earnestly discussing tho proposed fistic encounter and speculating as to the results, Shannessay, being evidently the favorite. There was not much betting and there was an entiro absenco of that spirit of lawlessness and rowdyism wbich is generally a prominent feature of such excursions. The Young America steamed gatiy down the placid Wabash for a dis'tance of about eighteen miles and camo to land on the Illinois side, in Clark county, just beyond Ihe State line, at eleven and a half o'clock.

The excursionists mov«d back from the river, into the country about half a milo and came to a halt in a beautiful open field on a farnj whose owner was then lying very ill, and supposed to be dying. Our reporter called at the house for tho purpose of learning tho proprietor's name, but finding such grief within, he fnrebore to ask any questions.

Tbe ring was pitched without delay but, unfortunately, one of the men who assisted in holding the stakes in position to be driven was very badly cut in the forehead by the mallet flying off the handle. When tho ring was ready

A VEXATIOUS DELAY

wa3 occasioned by the discovery that there were Ave spikes in oach of Philllpps' shoes. To this Shannessay's seconds objected a3 the revised rule3 of 'C7 provido that there shall be but two spikes in each shoe. A fl'e was procured and a long time was consumed in filing off the redundant epikos and bringing them down to tho regulation number.

THE MEN AND TBEIK SECONDS, At this point it is proper to introduce the reader to the mon. David Phillipps is 28 years of age, weighs 153 pounds', is 0 feet 7£ inches in height, was born in Jersey City. This is his first appearance in the P. 11. Seconded by .T. Heath and Ed Jones.

At precisely five minutes after one o'clock Shannessay shied his castor into tho ring and was very soon followed by Phillipps. Shannessay won the choice of corners, thereby placing bis antagonist's face to the sun. Thero was a

•i' MARKED DIFFERENCE .t

iii tho appearHnco of the mon, Phillipps being the talior by two inches and heavier by nineteen pounds. Shannosaay was, however, in far bolter condition than Phillipps, thero being not an ounce of superfluous flesh on his body, thanks to tho admirable manner in which he bud been handled by bis trainor, Dick Hollywood, of Indianapolis, the. champion feather weight of America.

WHEAT STOLEN.—On Wednesday night twenty-five bushels of wheat were stolen from the barn of Mr. James Perkins, on the Lafayette road, three miles north of the city. The plunder was carried off on a wagon—which Mr. Perkins tracked, the next day, for about seven miles, when the trail became too much mixed with others the positive identification, and the pursuit was abandoned. The thieves got all the wheat that Mr. P. had saved for seed, except what he had already put into the ground. —————

HOR&K FAIR.—A number of citizens of this and Sullivan counties have formed what is termed tho "Indiana Horse Fair rVssociation," for tho purpose of importing horses and holding horso fairs. The capital slock is $10,000. The following gentlemen have been selected as officers:

Two fairs will be held in each ccunty each year—spring and fall. Tho first will be held at Sullivan, rommenoing on the 25th Inst., and continuing six days.— $2,500 will bo givon in premiums in the several olnrses.

We learn tho directors of our County Fair,Grounds have given the association the iifo of tho same Iroo of charge.

THK Normal School Board, at its meeting on Friday, transacted a coniidorahlo amount of unimportant business,but camo to on decision as to tho Presidency and filled no vacancies in tho Faculty. Some discussion was bad upon the merits of a candidate lor President and measures wero taken to ascertain his qualifications for the position. n' is a gentleman who has not, we beliove, had any experience in Normal School teaching or management, and with all deferenco to the Board, we venture to suggest tbat if tbat sot of material is to be used, we havo plenty of it in Indiana, and need not import it from other States. But in our opinion a thoroughly trained Normal School man is required for the Presidency of this institution, and it can hardly bo a very difficult matter to secure tho services of such a man if proper ioducoments aro offered and. a vigorous effort is made. Tho importance of inaugurating this jreat State educational enterprise successfully cannot bo ovor-ostimated.

Tbe members of the Faculty who have been elected and have signified their acceptance of their respective positions are

J. M. Olcott, of Terre Haute, Professor of Mathomatica and Secretary of the Board.

It. S. Bosworth, of Terre Haute, Professor of Natural Sciences. ,, Miss Julia Newel), of Wisconsin, Professor of Geography and History.

Those who have been*elected and have declined serving are Hon. Newton Batemaa, of Ills., President, and Miss Olivia Meily, late of tho Terre Haute High, School, Professor of English Language and Litoraturo.
