'I'ho discovery of the Phosphate hods, and the manufacture of the commercial fertilizers has largely increased the yield of the great staple ; hut is it not'being done at tin expense of overtasking the soil by stimulating it to undue, action ' I aider J this treatment a time will soon be reached , when the soil will no longer contain tho i lements of crops. Tlio one-crop system has no doubt largely contributed to this exhaustion.

That a portion of the lands" be al- j lowed to rest alternately, llcst is a great | law of nature. Hence Clml instituted the night season and one day out ol' every ' seven, for rest and in his laws for the govern- j lnent of his chosen people he ordained that , the lands ,?hould rest at the periodical return 1 of a certain year.

Wo therefore present the subject to yon in this method : 1st, the causes; 2nd, th j lemcdics. The ^rcat and primary causes of this ex haustioii arc to be referred to the avarice, want of judgment, indifference and improvidence of the inhabitants. When thiscouuliy was fust settled by our slu.dy aueestors, tiie hillsides and valleys on every hand Were covered with stately forests. Olio hundred years ago a gully, an old field pine j or brooniaedge lield was a curiosity.

Hopkins writes in The Albany Haw Journal: Why should nut the majority control in law us in politicts?in juries us in appellate courts? Too often some lool or knave will tiud a place on the jury,-who, through the intellectual opacity or from pecuniary considerations, will be ''faithful until death" aud prevent a verdict. Trial by jury hah become such a lottery that it hasgiven rise to this uiuxiui: if you have a strong ease, try it before a judge or referee; if you have a weak ease, try it before a jury." Might uot incompetency be avoided aud justice more surely obtained by committing to the judges the decisions of qucstiou of fact as well us questions of law ? This would necessitate an increase in the number of judges, but to this there could be no little objection. The amount of money actually expended every year for i jurors aud the auiouut lost by those who arc forced to neglect their business in order to ! act as jurors, if it were computed, would be j found sufficient to pay seven judges at evI orv court It will cost more to buv a iud^o than a juror? The judgs is dependent upon the people ; ho is their servant, and the dignity ui' that service, the honor of the oflico, the respousibiIty of the position, and the fear of detection and disgrace, all tend to render him invulnerable to bribery ami to place him above suspicion. II', however, as is sometimes the case, a man of low character is raised to the bench and is induced to sell himself, he at least, sells himself dearly. On the other hand, a | juror cau often he bought for a few dollars, and the purchase of a juror defeats justice as completely as the purchase of a judge. The jury system, as it now exists, is beneficial it? only two classes?professional ju ; rorsan.l jury lawyers. Men of the lirst class owe to ir iheir subsistence ; and when placed ; upon the jury maintain the eaine of I hoses , \vh.? employ them with a tenacity which cn| a urea victory. Men uf tliu second class exist | by reason of the system. They pilot a weak case into the harbor of success on waves I of talk. They are guiltless of sound reas' oiling; but they understand how to play upon the jury and draw forth whatsoever music they please. Their existence proves the defects of the jury system. Jicforc the higher courts they are powerless for tlie higher courts are swayed by logic rather j than language, while the jury regards logic i with the same feeliugs witich the devil is supposed to entertain eoncering holy water. The jury is the clown of the law. It is constantly inventing new and ingenious tricks for the evasion of duty. It is tin patron of the joke called ''temporary insanity," and the author of numberless other jests of a like character. It is a never-failing source of amusement to all except its victims. There is nothing uncertain about it but its uncertainty. It has been sneered at and satirized and lampooned and carricai lured. .Judges nave snuoood it, and legal i wits, like Outran, have riddled it with sarcasm in open court. Vet a mistaken conservatism sailers it to continue its blundering way unchallenged. Vet such is the reverence for :i11Li?|uity i that any change or improvement in the jury system is, to say the least, improbable for many y-.us to C1 inc. It lias glined too great a reputation as "the palladium cf liberty to bo hastily abandoned. Hut the reverence due to long established institutions ought n t to degenerate into blind worship. Ho /ev?r venerable a system uiay be, those defect* which mar it should be eradicated. ! and ii" it is wholly bad it should bo abolished. ; .la Igo it fairly then.
