LAW AND ORDER. 
There needs to be impressed upon all 
men the doctrine Unit those who live under 
the law must abide by it; and that those 
who refuse to abide by it must suffer the 
penalties it inflicts or leave the country in 
which laws obnoxious to them exist. It lias 
become too much a custom—a thoughtless 
and foolish one—to denounce the Govern¬ 
ment; to denounce the law and those who 
execute it. It is asserted that the people are 
oppressed; that politicians rule; that the 
interests of the people are overlooked and 
disregarded. To some extent this is true. 
But who are responsible? The people tliem- 
selves. If our legislators are corrupt, it is 
because the people whom they represent are 
corrupt. Tl the courts are venal, it is be¬ 
cause the people wink at venality. If the 
law of license has supplanted the law of lih- 
eriy, it is because the people are licentious, 
ludill'erenceoi silence is consent. No Ameri¬ 
can citizen has a right to refuse to obey the 
law so long as be consents to live under it, 
unless he prefers to suffer the penalty. And 
he has no right to denounce a governmeal 
of which he is himself an integer. Men talk 
now-a-iluys of this Government as if it was a 
como tlie homes of millions or Funner* during 
the next decade. In tlm Wear, agriculture is the 
leading pursuit, while nmnutaeuire and com¬ 
merce Mru dependant upon it. In tlie East tlio 
reverse is thecase, and agriculture would lali to 
he remunerative but. for tlie markets which 
trade and manufactures supply. In the West 
agriculture i 6 progressive, and ihe Lest talent in 
tire region isdevousl to it. In the East it is, at 
least, a secondary- pursuit, and falls to engage 
the attention of tlio more enterprising people." 
The Western Rural says: 
“The resignation of General (’APRON takes 
effect on the first ot August, proximo, hut 
Ids successor will, without doubt, ho desig¬ 
nated sooner. In the selection of hi* succes¬ 
sor, we feel it to lie the province of the agri¬ 
cultural press, as the immediate representative 
of liie great Industries which the iR-partnieut is 
intended to foster, to indicate its preference. In 
IhiHCOliueolion wo.desire m say that In nominat¬ 
ing a iiiuti to fill this particular office, ji j* im¬ 
portant. that the wishes of the great producing 
class, upon which all oilier interests depend, 
should tie consulted first. It is an office which 
demands a man to fill it of large experience and 
lirond, comprehensive view* mid extensive in¬ 
formation— n man of Gen. Gai*hox*h mump 
acquainted with the wants of all purls ,,| the 
country in an agricultural polui of view, and 
one with excellent executive abilities. While 
the Rust lias many good men, who would fill 
the position with credit, and while we would not 
do violence to their feelings, yet vre believe Unit 
the Interests ot the whole people would he bet¬ 
ter subserved by the selection of a man who Inis 
a I borough acquaintance with lie wants of tin

FEARFUL CARNAGE-ITS CAUSE. 
Tiif, fearful ordeal llirouglt which the peo¬ 
ple of New York City passed on tlie 12th 
inst.,—as chronicled in our News Depart¬ 
ment,—has taught a lesson long to he re¬ 
membered and heeded hy the Municipal and 
State authorities. Timidity and vacillation 
naturally and most, deplorably resulted in 
riot and bloodshed — the “slaughter of tiie 
innocents” as well ns the guilty. Indeed, 
for every guilty niobocrnt killed, probably at 
least five idle lookers-on suddenly met their 
deaths or were fatally wounded. Tlie cause 
of the mob and murderous frays was un¬ 
doubtedly the blunder of those in authority 
in fust, declining to allow and subsequently 
attempting to protect a procession ami cele¬ 
bration of Orangemen against which there 
was no law or precedent —an occasion on 
which they had as much right to protection 
as any class of loyal and law-abiding citizens, 
whatever llieir political or religious views or 
proclivities. A grave, if not criminal mistake 
was made by the City or Police authorities 
in prohibiting any procession on the day 
designated for a demonstration by the 
Orangemen. If we allow the Germans, and 
people of other nationalities, to celebrate 
their victories and holidays, and even aid 
the Fenians in their warlike demonstrations, 
shall we refuse the same privilege to a feeble 
band of Orangemen, because forsooth they 
are few in numbers and unpopular with a 
They govern themselves, or may. Taxation 
without representation is precisely what our 
forefathers fought against. 1 1 is the ground¬ 
work of this Government that the people se¬ 
lect those who shall make and execute the 
laws from among themselves. They there¬ 
fore consent to he governed as they are. 
Thgy have tlie power to impeach and re¬ 
move their servants if they neglect duties 
which they have sworn to perform. 
It is becoming too common to hear men 
talk about voluntary taxation ; the abolish- 
ing of all government, except that which 
will result from voluntary contributions for 
[ the protection of mutual interests; the aboli¬ 
tion of courts and substitution of arbitration 
by agreement, the arbitrators to be governed 
by the usages of men engaged in the same 
business as those between whom the contro¬ 
versy arises. Such men also denounce tax¬ 
ation to support free schools,or for purposes 
of public improvement. They want to be 
let alone, They desire to do as they have a 
mind to with their own. But they forget 
that our present law system is the result of 
necessities which have grown out of our 
business and social system. They forget, 
that just such scenes as were enacted in this 
city the 12th of July would be frequent 
without the restraints of law and protective 
force. And they seem to forget that our 
whole system to-day in voluntary. 
Unless the independent press takes this 
matter in hand, Ihe specious theories of 
these would-be reformers and communists 
will obtain strong hold upon unthinking 
men. Theoretically the doctrine is plausible; 
but it assumes that we are an oppressed 
people, governed by autocratic power, and 
that there is and ought to lie direct antago¬ 
nism between the Executive and Legislative 
departments of tlie Government and the 
people, Utterly ignoring the fact that the 
people are the creators of Executives and 
I I I hero is an officer in tlio Government, which 
ftliuiiJd be free from thu Inthietiee ot poiltichiu*, 
either in tliu matter of his appointment or the 
discbaru’cof tits duties, it j* the Commissioner ol 
Agriculture; and in this appointmeut we trust 
the polUiehins will aland aside.'*

highly pleased with the machine. The Imp's

Fremont, \#-t., July 7. Tinu s arc hard and 
farmers feel blue m this section. We had no 
ruin from the Siliof June Id lstof July,nnd this, 
after a very dry spring, shortened the wheat, 
oats and hurley crops very much. Cora looked 
splendid the first of July; on that day wo hud a 
heavy hail storm,extending over a large tract or 
country, that entirely ruined the crop in some 
places, and injured it very much in others. We 
had four showers during thu first five days Of 
the month, making six tuid three-eighths inches 
of water oil a level. 'The land is so wet that it is 
impossible to get on it with machines to secure 
the crop that is ready to harvest. The corn left 
by the hail is laid fiat hy tlie heavy wind now 
blowing. This is the third hard year for farm¬ 
ers,—first year floods ol rain; secoud year drouth, 
short crops and low prices, and now drouth and 
hail and flood combined. Tlie universal testi¬ 
mony of farmers is that this is u good place to 
move from. But land won’t sell. Corn and oat 6

excessively wet, which placed us behind, yet it

vided we can have rain soon, we will gather an 
abundance. Cotton looks well lor ihe season; 
it Is too soon to count on it yet, as It has many

last year. Wheat crop poor; we sow but littlo
