Froi Our Aaricnltural Correspondent, Crasteatar, 1L, July 2, 1874, The making of country roads is one of the mysterios; that s, the way in which & lurgo awount of taxes is made to do a small amount of rond-making, In the first placo, our laws are mado by attor- .noys and professional men, who have no 1des of tho true necds of the country; and, if we sond farmers to meslst in making laws, too many of them lnck business-capavity. In tho last Legls- Iature were a large number of so-cnlled farmers ; but the most of them woro not real farmers, but had nttompted the law and made a fallure, and, by some accidont of marriage or of business, fouud thomsolves on & fatm,~n sort of TOLITICO-BUSHTERCO FARNER, Yor ono, I would prefor an out-and-out lawyor to ono of thess. Our bost-lawyors never seck politics, and politics soldom scok thew, and thus the rauks of the Legislature are filled mainly from the politico-shiystorco class. T'wonty years ago, it aman committed a trespass by toaring down your farm-fenca and lotting the stock into . your grain, ke must be prosecuted in the Circuit Gourt, which, in ordiniry cases, prohibited the farwer from soeking rodvess ; but, if tho same man kot down one of your animals, e could bo prosecuted bofore a Justice of the Peace, I wan prosont when & farmer introduced a bill into the Houue to give Justices of the Peace Jurisdiction in all canes of trespnss not oxcoeding $100, The bill was roforred to the Judiclary Committee, which was composed of al! Jawyors, with an ox- Judge as Chairman; and, very muoh to my sur- priso, this Committeo roturnad the bill revom- mending its vojeotion: A'his brought np tho tarmer foir w light, end; a8 that Legslature (1854) bad beobs olécted by the peaplo on tha breaking np of parties, Just ds tho paities aro now belng disintogratod, there was enongh of business:talout in tho Houso to sep.the justive of the fartor's claim to a change In the Jaw that would proteot biy {nteroub; sud, uftor & shatp dobate, tho bill was resommitted o the namo Committee, with iustructions, and it lis since beon the law. It wae opposed by tho legal fratornity on the ground that it would give the Juslico n right to deside in regard to laud- titles ,—n right thnt had always buon clmmad by tho higher courts, I reforto this little history to #how that lawa for the farmers are not to b expooted from that olays of lejisiators that usually find tholr way to Springfield, and that now, shen patties aro golng to flinders, Is tho opportunity for the [armorw to setect good, re. Hablo businoss men—whether fron: the farm, the workshop, or tho office—to mako thoir Iaws.
