A Uuiuorus Speech?
Our readers will (!o< btles gt^c u
c'redtt for Having kept nur columns clear
ol politics Among all our exchange*
there is none so entirely u-eless to us as
the Co i ;n ss u ml C! lube. On looking
over a copy a few d y* since WO found a
speech of our old friend S. S. Cox,
formerly of Ohio, now of Now York
elty, uvropot of the Commissioner of
Agriculture, which we have been in
ducud to publish to show how a joke
may be mad- to defeat a serious and
useful purpose. We do not approve the
jihes ami .-n era* which certain news
papers arc Constantly directing against
the Department of Av?ii -niton*. Wo
decid it a Very valuable branch of the
11 overdue it, aid capable of confer
ring g'cit benefit-t on agriculture if
a lc.j'iitcly Biistaiuol by Congress : ~
Fm iii ft#o7 Jfomc.
Mil, Cll.m km an ? I tlii .k there is a
gu d deal of undeserved reproach cist
Qu the nnblo Department pi" Agriculture.
Tho gentlemen from Illinois ^Mr,
l-'uroswoith) undertook to say that the
present Commissioner of Agriculture
kept a rn Iu took the seeds sent to
him from ull parts of the world
[Laughter] Other members say ho
boards and live* in our Patent OiT.ce
free of cxponce. I recollect when the
Commissioner of Agrculturo used to
niako butter for the Presidential Man
sion. Tho.-o wore unctuous and happy
days. [L?Ughiet ] I remember WS)I|
th it a fpruicr ComtuUsiojior raised
strawberries for the Presidential Matt
aion. It is a put of the business of
that bJiciq. [Laughter.] Thcro is no
I question pf i.s eotisiitutioiiality. [Laugh
tor 1 It seems wo are now to luve in
the Agricultural Bureau a niiurot^uopiit '
In fact it is a p ut uf our qcw Uurcm
ciatic system. Ntiiig iu the microscope,
that we may .*ec the ins.ciivofoits aui
ii als which are preying upou and anhoy |
irg this useful bureau. I am amazed i
(not the House does Dot appreciate'
these reports on agriculture. The Com
iiiipsloTicf, 'on the very first psge of his
report, tells us that the "segrated char
acter of the rural populatkiu has been
has been such us Jo forbid that concen
tration of ideas and consultation *of
views which are common to all
other professions and occupations!"
This is a peciei of "unabridg d dic
tionary" language: whi h (ills the {.hilo
logical und analytical mini with won
der. J>ut look ut the end ! The la*<i
page of tire teport advises us that we
Uf?y save ?1.(11)0,000 by dispensing with
fencing! Let ui be advised ami even
do better i>ispeosu with bar? s. stables
ami bouses, and then wo will be th er
ful nud happy. 1 admire economy ?
based on a concentration of rural iduus.
Again, I turn to the Commissionera re- j
port of Nr.vcti.her, 1S71. I real from'
page sixty nine. It is the report of the
entomologist and curator ! God help us
to a faithful loxieou. Wj have hut
tnide a bureau of the microscope. My
friend fr >m Indiana (Mr. llolmao)
(ippoEesQ it ; und I never oppose him.
What is this bureau? It i?, in fact,
the bureau of bugs. I deny that
entomology as a science docs not include
all bugs, humbugs not excluded.
[Laughter] Tho Com uUiionor siys ?
that bugs are not insignificant insects,
as they are generally ami erroneously
called. 'Hut, sir. they are bugs. Now,
I always supposed etitomulugy did refer
to bugs. [Laughter.] The Counuiss
iouur gives the v. rious nioitos of find
iug these bugs out. He tell you of the
tcJijHHia utrox, which I hope m\ fiieuds
from Ohio, (Mr. Gal field,) who is now
going awny from my seat, after instruct
ing nie iu Latin, will be able to explain
to the House. [Laughter.] There are
vaiion other bugs inferred to. \Y.c

this iiif-rmatioa is; of cour.-e intcud.-d

g ntlcnieu will bo able to explain to tlw
llouoo what all these things are.
[I.sughter] Lot there be annotations
go out with these fepurtn. Mr. Clmir
niati.
I would not be so pirtirulsr in this
remark able nomenclature Lad we not
b e t advised to day by the houoiablc
goutlaiuati (Mt. (Jarfieldj that it was
the duty of the Federal (JovemtiKnt, by
its function of educator, to inform the
common miner He thought we should,
by Federal ait'hority and money, diffuse
knowledge amoug uieu. 1 thuroture
boldly ask, where docs he get power to
interpret to plain ami hi m st people the
ruloptenus snrrtus of Chlor ? [Laugh
ter.] Who shall determine, by Federal
tests, tl.e length of wing of the

I n.ay admit, for nuke >f argument, that
tho learned and fresh men (tow thu
South may tell its why the tzaul'ra*
simplex is an mthoptcrus insect, but
why do you invoke Federal powers to
aid iu this microsropio wurk ? Thceu j
aro rct'oudiie thought-) and illu.(rations
We have in (his agricultural bo-A
reference made to vutjous other rucon
dite things. I hope this harcau wil
not be discouraged in its work. Wo
have here on one page?as you see?
what seems a hydraulic ram ; au I then
on another, in niagnifijoul wood and
type, the picture and description of the
merino ram '"Piet?t >r." (See page 1S7 )
These arc | ut in the m< Bt extraordinary

bugs. Look at Muse pictures ol tho

Mr. Chairman, I have only rise er for

[laughter.] is especially notable. 1 re
