The other will be heard and felt most in the next presi dential campaign. Special laws have been passed giv ing to Northern soldiers the preference in official appointments in the Senate, House of Representatives, and in the departments at Washington. Tho police places in the national capital have been reserved lor Federal soldiers. The pensions all go to them, as a matter ol coarse, and yet they are not satisfied, though, in the matter of office holding, Federal Republican sol diers have for the most part been se lected, The Grand Army of the Re public proposes to tighten the lines, and to politically boycot those who do not yield to its demands. This dis patch, sent by the Associated Press from New York, will explain the pro cess proposed: The rcpreientaUvee ol lha Fortr-ievenbt Grand Army ot the Republic posts of this city, constituting a memorial committee, to-day •eat out through the State to ell post., a clrtu lar lO'ter giving the names of the Aiiembly- mea and Senators who voted sgetnat and (or the bill in the Legieletnre last winter provid ing lor preference for tho Gr.-nd Army In the civil service appointments. Tbe letter enda with an adjuration <o ail veterana to blackllat all anchaa do not recognize that the aervlcea the Grand Army in the paat deaereea aome shadow of gratitude from our State and na tional governments. Quite recently, the Grand Army ot the Republic of Pennsylvania has com pelled a man who fought for the Con federacy to give up a small clerkship in a pension c ffice. It was wanted for a Grand Army man and he got it. But lie did not hold it long. It so happened that thete was an honest Democratic administration. Another dispatch explains the reasons: So sooner bad Ptnilon Agent Davis accept od the resignation ot Clerk BarbU re. tbe ex- Confederate, than Cspt. Thomas H. L. Payne was appelated to dll the vacancy. It now transpires that Payne obtained money by false pretedsi a from Grand Army of the Republic comrades In 18S1. In March of that year the grand Jury found Ihrce true bills against Payee (or obtaining money under falaepretemes, end he waa arraigned tbe nextday. At first he plead cd not guilty, bat subsequently ho witbarew that plea and substituted one ol guilty. Sen- nee wu impended in the ceee, end aome errangimcnt wee tsadc whereby the man wee aetltes. After these facta were related to Gen. Davis he Instructed bla private secretary, Mr. l’atteraoa, to Investigate the couit records. Tbe latter feund that the charges were true, and Capl. Payne wu at once removed. The parties who reccmmended him were at once notl fled ol nhnt had occurred. It la under- Ho: d that Commissioner ot Pensions Black was one of the persons who secured Payne's appointment, u they both hall iiotn Illinois. Shortly alter the close ot the war Payne wu the chief of police at Saw Antonio, Tex. If the war is really over, the army should be disbanded, especially that portion composed oi suttlers, bounty jumpers, quartermasters, camp follow ers and tbe ride brigade at large. It this thing is to continue we shall be like Germany, a military camp, We believe there is a Grand Army post in Atlanta, and this may con stitute new grounds for providing offices for that locality. Civil service reform cannot be tortured into an ex cuse to give official employment only to the Grand Army o( the Republic. And the reason for putting tbe army out of politics will apply equally to the North ern Methodist Church, to whose’(old Parson Newman has again returned. It is si.!d at tbs Pod-office Department that the appointment ot the meeeengtr boy i in the new special letter delivery sys tt m, about which some questkn has bean ralstd, will be tusfls by tbs postmasters ini the towns, with the approval ot the l’ost matter General. The rules regulating thlel service, which were recently iuned by the Postmaster General, state that the boye are to be appointed by the poaimu'cta, and tbe lists are to be sent to the depart ment.

The Author of Negro Suffrage. The Boston Herald says: It ii now claimed that Gen. Grant wu lot negro suffrage ei early as 1SC5, or for partial negro suffrage, which should include thoso who bed' borne arms In the war. It la not Im probable that General Grant took this lattor view, thongh he muat have been much In ad vance of mrst of tbe Republican politician* ol hla section to advocate the general voting of the blacks. Tbe feeling against it In Illi nois was strong at that time. General Logan had not been converted, and Lyman Trum bull, there la reason to believe, never has been to this day. It la not at all to he supposed that President Lincoln would have favored It u early aa then had be Used. In Indiana, Oliver P. Morton, a very able man and a most Influential Republican, was rigidly re sisting It. Charlei Bumner wu abnu the first Republican of prominence to take ground in Its favor, and be foend oppositOu from William Pitt Fessenden and the Con* nectlcut Senators, tbouah Mr. Edmunds, who soon after ca-ne into tbe San - to from Vcr* moot, was Inclined to go wttb him The wboto Republican party was in time brought over, though It Is still a mooted question among many ot them wbetber tbe meuure wu wise In tbe form It took. Every now and then the Northern press refers to the fearful mistake made in giving the negro the ballot. It is a sore subject and its discus sion establishes the fact .that it would never have been accomplished if the result could have been foreseen. The Herald says it is still a mooted ques tion in the Republican party. If that party had the power it would not be mooted long. Negro suffrage would he swept away in less time than it was established. The fact that Grant was instrumental in patting this curse upon the country is news to us, and perhaps to many others. The great problem thus given to the South has not begun to be solved, and os it came by the sword, perhaps the sword may again do duty in the future by sundering another Gordian knot. EXPERIMENTAL FARMS. A CEORCIAN IN PARIS. The Railroad Commlaalon Bill. The House bill lias been so amended in the Senate as to give the rail roads the right to fix rates. Thg|e are to bo subject to the review of the com mission. If the commission shall cut them, then tbe road shall have the right to appeal to the courts. Fending the appeal the rates shall stand. This is lair to all parties and interests and the Legislature can settle this muchly vexed question upon this basis, No man who has been an intelligent observer of the public opinion in the State can conclude that the railroad interests esn prosper or the* general wellfareof the State be advanced by a continuance of tbe present arbitrary powers oi the commission.

Our forests are being fast destroyed by the woodman, the (armei and by fires. The waste is far greater than the increase. Thousands of nnsightly barrens now mark many portions the State. These might be covered by young forests, to improve the land add to the general health and to the future wealth of the State. Filling these waste places, it is held wonid add to the rainfall, necessary crops. Aa fences are being done away with, fruit and not hearing trees might be planted in localities suitable their growth. We can now be laying the foundations of comfort and for tunes for our children. Many States have adopted t"ia practice. Nebraska has now about 2o0,000 acres of growing forests, in which have been set 600,000 young trees. Besides this, there have been planted over 12,000,000 fruit trees, over 2,300,000 grape vines, a vast num ber of berry bushel and plants, and countless quantities of ornamental shrubs. It looks now as if we were going have a season of good government. Under this Georgia may hope to pros per, but ber people may enrich and beautify their lands and homes by de voting one day in the year to tree plant ing. This is no idle custom or untried periment. In the straggle for wealth and power and all that makes life comfort able, we must adopt all that U good and learn lessons from of others. proUjogn the experience Rrasa docs not dqtira tr junto Eng'scd as bad az the did. Tho Necessity and Imcortnnce of Their Establishment. Auqcsta, August 21.—The importance of establishing experimental forms for the purpose of testing the adoptability of the soils ot tbe different sections of Georgis fn tbe prodnetion of vegetable and fibrous plants should have the earnest attention ot every planter and farmer of the State; also for the purpose of testing the value of commercial, natural and other fertilizers and tbe benefits to be derived from the intelligent uze of improved forming imple ments. Tbe farmer or planter, to be benefited by tho different experiments to bo made, it is necessary that the farms be under tbe en tire control of tbe Georgia State Agricul tural 8-jciely and not under supervision of the Commissioner of Agilcuitnre ortho University of Georgia. Agricaltnriets do not want published In the experiments tbe history of Georgia or chronological tables, bat the terulis derived from the experiments and Baid results should be published in tbe local newspapers, so they may reachfevery far mer however buuiple. Toe University Is totally unauited for tbe location of an ex perio ental farm, as all tests made upon them sboold be thoroughly practical and not BctentSfic. The Unlverilty would be tbe place to locate an experimental station (or the purpose of making diecoverlis end advarcl'jg the scientific principles of agri culture. Tbe farmers of Georgia are not far enough advanced in practical agriculture and the use of im proved Implements es to require an exper imental nation. Furthermore, tbe Uni versity receivid tbe proceeds from tbe laud granted by the federal government for ta- tabliehlngan agricultural cl liege. Wbat has beeD done with the (unde, and how many agriculturists have graduated from said institution, and with tbis experience are the farmers of Georgia willing to trnst tbe Uolvereity wi'h tbe education of their sees in practical farming ? The first. agricultural reboot In Europe was established in 1804, by Fellenberg, at Hofroyl in Switzerland, and Its inccese led to the establishment ot many others. They ate no nitrous fn Germany and Aus tria, and are divided into two clesrei—the lower called Acktibanschole, iotended to tire practical instruction In agriculture.

Felienbsrg eatablhhed his school for the purpose of educating poor boys and even convicts as agriculturalists. “He tried to make the school to bs self-supporting, and to cause instruction to be regarded by tbe Pupil. at t recreation. Agriculture be be lieved best adapted as an occupation to develop the powers of both mind and body in tbeir proper harmony." Wehrli, >he noble assistant and coadjntor of Fel- lenberg, is spoken of as fol lows: “From the dawn of day he aeemi tog have no thought, no time except for hie pupils. When he came among them amidst their labor or amaeementa he appeared rather like an elder brother then an instrnotor." The school at that time comprised 23 boys, from the lowest and often the most viclons families—aome of them abandoned chil dren—and literally taken lrom tbe high ways and hedges; and yet they lived in perfect harmony nnder his mild govern ment. I have referred to Wehrli to show tbe impoitancr, practicsbUity and absolute neoetiily to utilize the convicts (not crlm fuels) under eighteen years ot age and not convicted of arson, mnrder or rape, to work od and cultivate said experi mental farms. Three objects could be obtained: First, the reformation and enlightenment ol tbe juvenile convicts. Second, the education and ele vation of the Georgia farmers in practical agriculture. Third, economy and relia bility of tbe labor In maklog the practical tests while in progress. There are three obstacles In the way of establisblcg experimental farms. First, the old fogy ism which dominates tne agri cultural convention and tbeir disposition to tbrotile any ntw and useful measure that does not originate wltb them.

Fanis, August 3, 1835.—I bade farewell to Leipsic July 21st and took the 0:30 ex press (or Cologne, en route lor Paris. Be tween Leipaio and tbe Rhine, via Magde burg and Hanover the country is undi versified, with only here and there a wind mill dotting the landscape, a small collec tion of cottages with red tile roofe, and clumps of trees. It is ail like a garden, without a waste spot in any direction. From Hanover to Cologne, I was so for tunate aa to have a coupe all to myself nearly the whole of the way; this is a luxury that it Is seldom one's good for tune to enjoy and I appreciated it high ly. After a tedious journey of over twelve hoars, the train a*, lest orossed the Rhine ana roiled into Cologno at about 10 p. m. After disembarking, I left,the station and crossing the square, got a fine view of the Cathedral, by moonlight, which was scarcely fifty yards away. The following morning I got np about 0 and made a tborocgb exploration of this famous edi fice, both inside and oat. It is a superb structure and well worth a visit to the city to see it alone. The whole building is one mass of exquisitely wrought stone work, from the topmost spire to the foun dation. At a distance it resembles lace, intricats is it in execution. Unfortu nately one of the spires Is considerably shorter than the other, so that from a front view tbe effect is somewhat marred. The interior of the church it rather cold and sombre. and aome' para very dark but extremely majestic fiTtis proportions. either side of the nave are aome splen- aid specimens of stained glass windows, some dating .as far back as the 13th cen tury. The view from the spires Is in describably fine on a clear day, stretching for miles along the Rhine in either direc tion, commanding a prospect ot the whole city. Right in lrent of the Cathedral is tbe shop ot tbe famous Jobann Marla Farina, the original fabrloator ot tne wot Id renowned Eau de Cologne. He has in bi9 shop a model ot the church in wood ich is kept there for the Inspection ol travelers as well as a sort of advertise ment, everybody alter viewing the model being expected to carry off, aa a souvenir, and i Ox the silver question tbe Nsw York Herald says; “That Legislature which attempts to rrgnlale tbe relative value of silver and gold by legal enactment might well be engaged in an attempt to regu late the pbasia of the racoo.
