Election.

The election in VIII county resulted in the
choice Of the regular democratic ticket, except the
candidate for Judge. Forthat office. Mr.. G. D 4
Parks, editor of the Lockrprt Telegraph, beats Mr.
Van Horn some six hundrd votes.
In Grundy county Henry Starr is elected iulrc;
W. f Hubbard clerk: ". H. Perkins, school com.
missioner; + Watkins treasurer and assessor, T.
A. Henry, county surveyor We infer by vote
from friend in Morris, that this was the regular
democratic ticket
1t is needless for us to say that we were not a.
aware that any nominations had been made when
we spoke rather complimentary several weeks
ago, ola candidate, who was running against this
ticket. Our impression was that all were stump
candidates and we intended merely to give lift
to an old resident Of this place, to whom personal
ly we feel friendly, without suspccting that he was

Judging from present indications, We are Of o
pinion that this will be seen duller season fol
pork than the last was. The figures at the prn
cpal points are thus fur uncommcnly lower
calmly ten or fifteen per cent below what they
have been for four or five years. In Cincinnati
we notice, on the 9Th inst but 225 pr 100 lbs was
offered at Louisville, about the same time CSC
was offered, and about the same figures are Civ
en- at ST. Louis.
We give in this connection the following ex
tract from letter written by on extensive pork
dealer in New York to a large dealer in Alton, in
this state.
"The views Of the packers that we are acquaint-
with lowing TO the heavy losses Of the present
season. are low for hsco,fhng one and we are
confident that very few Of them will be visionary
enough to pack at over two cents 80 per 100 lbs.
for large hogs and under that for light ones.
The accounts from England are very gloomy
for the shpping-thcy have large stocks on hand
at declining prices; in fact the losses are per.
fectly awful on shipments from this city; on the
finer qualities of bacon, we look for an almost to-
tai suspension Of the trade with us here. On the
other hand the shipments of the cheaper sorts Of
western sides, DC. although mt low prices have IN
most in most instances resulted in loss to the ship

trade with Europe, or expect to sell very low,
and that means lower than the prices OF the pres.
cnt season. The same remarks will apply to lard;
the supply of that article Is even in greater OK.
cess than that Of pork. Better markets must be
found or low prices submitted to-
For ourselves we can SEQ nothing to warrant
the payment of anything over two dollars for the
bost pork in your country, and correspondent
price for the lighter sorts down to $3.50.
In this region, it may be set down, as fixed
fact that for some years. at least there is an end
to the pork business. Our farmers generally are
quitting business Of raising hogs
Those that have been iatted this year have been
fitted only to wind up the business. While corn
is worth in Chicago from IS to 45c pr bushel, no
farmer can afford to raise pork short Of to $50
per 100 lbs, and rs there Is no hope for some
years at least Of realizing such prices, hogs must

amount Of pork In the country, but we doubt
