FRIDAY MORNING, SEPTEMBER. 10, 1874
THE ELECTION.

We give below all the returns thus far
received. 1t will be observed that the vote
is very much smaller than last year, and that
the falling off is principally on the wing
side. For instance, in this county, the wing
vote is 456 less than it was last year, and the
l~ocofoco vote "a less so that while there is
an apparent l%ocofoco gain, there IS in
point of fact an actual falling of of near
one hundred. AMI this willdoubtIess apply
to the whole State. From the complexion
Of the present returns it is more than prob
able that there is no election Of Governor by
the people. But of this we can speak with
more certainty next week. In the event of
tine Governor election dcvolving upon the
legislature, We can look with entire conf
dence TO an suspicious result, as the wings
will have a decisive majority in each branch,
though perhaps not as over whelming as the
fill vote Of last year secured for US. But Of
this, let all our friends abroad BIO assured :

The OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES papers all over the
countay are making themselves either miserable
or happy on account ofthc Abstractionis's, who
are reported to have taken up their quarters near
the White House. Some look at the subject in
a very grave light, and apprehend the certain
ruin Of the country, from the government falling
into the hands of dreaincrs and abstract ~'lnprac-
tlcab!es. Others laugh at the absurdity invol-
ed in the suppositlon, that the energies Of this
great pcople-thc limbs of this mighty giant, can
be fe,,ered and reprcssed by the cobwcb nonen-
titles of political visicnarles. To us, the Alb
stractionis,s arc amusing characters. We like
TO contemplate the air OF confidence with which
they vaust. their absurd ties-tle enthusiasm
with which they undertake TO forge a thunderbolt
to crush a gnat-and the self-complacency with
which they survey themselves after their glor-
lous ieats. 1t is pleasant to see them cheat
themselves into bliss, and pursuade themselves,
that but for them, day would converted into night
and universal darkness would brood over the
fair face Of creation. This is an enylable dis
position--which accorlingto Hume is equal

TIE LAND BILL PASSED.

A glance at our Postscript this morning
will send a thrill of JOY AMI renewed hope
and confidence through t. c heart of thou
sands who will there read the glad %intclli-
gence that the Land Distribution Bill has
passed both houses of Congress and only
awaits the signature of the President, which
ere this 1t has doubtless received, to become
a Law. This great measure of Just relief so
long demanded by the Country, and of which
It was cheated years ago by the trcacherous
arts o~fdcmagogucs, has al last been CONSUME
mated, and under its operation we may
hope for a speedy prosecution of our great
works Of Internal Improvement.
This i, in ever respect one ofthe leading and
most important measures Of the Session it
is one, too exclusively Wing in its origin and
support, and We congratulate our friends
throughout the land that there was yet honor
and high patriotism enough left in Congress
to set at naugi,t the cavils of enemies and the
trcachory of pretended friends, and trium-
phlntly pass this most important bill.

The CALAToRNIA WHrAr.-Ihe grain of

California, "a or % degrees north latitude,
where it grows luYurian,ly and yields abund.
antly a superior article Of Flour. 1t was OBJ
tanned and introduced by Major Thomas p.
SPERM, whowas in the north West, in the en-
ploy of the United States Agent. This wheat
has been sown in Abbeville District, South Car
DINA, latitude "a degrees TO- N. The crop of
this year ISL, is superior to that of last year,
$50, in the size of the heads, superior product
and tullness of the grain. Experienced farm
ers, who have seen the wheat grow, assert that
on proper wheat land, well prepared, eighty
bushels can be raised on an acre. Its Weld is
astonishing, from the fact Of one grain producing
thirty to forty stalks each, having a full head,
which contalng from one hundred 10 two hun
bred grajns.-The best head of our common
wheat will only shell out from sixty to eighty
grains. Another advantage is, that this wheat
is not so subject to disease as other kinds, OF
wheat, and will Withstand high winds and storms
1t also grows and natures well westwardly in
the 39th degree OF North latitude.-We consid-
er it to be a superior kind Of wheat, and a great
acquisition to the agricultural community and
we hope it may at least have a fair trial, when
it will prove itself all what its most sanguine
friends have said or thought it would be.
