Daily News writes:
"Al our accounts from Pennsylvania, Illinois,
and Indiana are most cheering-could not be better
and if we do not carry all those States by sweep
ing maorities, friends most grossly deceived"
Another Washington correspondent of the same
paper writes:
ave have advices from Illinois which settle the
question in our favor. One of our friends saw
here to-day, who says he will bet on Illinois giving
larger proportionate majority for the democratic
ticket than any State in the Union. The Fremon-
tiers badly frightened as an evidence of this we
hear that letter was read at Woodstock, Vermont,
from Thaddens, Stevens, of Pennsylvania, in which

At Fremont meeting in Columbiana county,
Ohio, few evenings SINCE the speaker declared
himself in favor of the dissolution of the Union or
something equivalent Thereto. After the close of
the speech, the chairman and eleven others arose
and stated that they could longer train with the
republican" party henceforward they should fight
under the democratic banner.
SAVE SEED Corn CARErULLY-In remarking upon
the failure Of the Corn to up last Spring, we
gave as a principal reason that much of the Corn
put up last Fall in an imperfecty dried condi-
ton. This fact should be remembered noao. Not
only should extra be taken to have all Corn de-
signed for planting next Spring thoroughly rpened
and dried, but the best should be selected
Those ripenng first quite likely to produce the
earliest ripening crop when planted again.
The largest ears should be taken, and these from
the most prolific stalks. Those which are perfect
having the kernels well filled out at both ends,
should in all cases be chosen.
These matters are quite too often overlooked
Wehave known many farmers who have expended
five to ten dollars per in preparing and
planting piece of ground, from which they have
gathered scarcely half crop, simply for want of a
shng's worth of time in selecting and preparing
the best Seed and this, in greater less degree,
is too much the generally. 1t is like that other
piece of bad economy practiced by multtudes, who
send their children to the district school year,
an expense of thirty to fifty dollars for clothing,
teachers &C., and yet lose half the benefit to be de-
rived simply because they withhold one extra shil-
ling for suitable book.
We urge every farmer to 60 over his cornfeds
himself, soon as the crop is rpened, ana gather
out the kind of ears VIC have indicated, and then
either husk and store them away in dry room, or
60 back to the od-fashoned plan of stripping dewn
the husks, braidng them together that tie seed
ears may be hung up in the attic sother safe dry
place.

Boards of Public officers.

An act of the Legislature, passed March 10th,
last, changes the time when the official term Of
Sheriffs and Commissioners of Revenue shall
begin, from the 1st of July to the LIST OF january
1t also declares that the present Sheritfs shall
hold over and continue to exercise the duties
and powers of their officers until the latter date,
upon giving bonds as now required by law
This act has given rise to several questions, IN
reference to which Attorney General Bocock
has published an opinion. In no event, he says,
can the newly elected Sheriffs exercise the Of
flee earlier than the LIST January, 1857, and ii
the present Sherifis refuse or fail to give bonds
there will be a vacancy in the office. The act
does not specify at what time the bonds must be
given, but the Attorney General thinks the
safest course will be to give them at the June
term of the County Courts.
In regard to the new Sheriffs and Commits
sioners of Revenue, Mr.. Bocock says the law of
April 22nd, 1852, requiring such officers to take
the oaths and give the bonds scithin sirty days
after the election, is still in force; and if they
fail to do so the offices will become vacant. This
law is applicable to all county officers, without
regard to the time when their terms commence,
except Justices of the Peace, who are required by
another law to qualify within thirty days after
receiving their commissions.

Affairs with England.

The apprehension is gaining ground that the
dismissal of Mr.. Champion will not be passed O.
yer by the British Government as lightly as has
been taken for granted. Mr.. Champion, no
doubt in accordance with instructions, has not
only closed his office in Washington and depart
ed himself, but has removed all the archives of
the Legation to Canada, which indicates that he
does not anticipate a speedy renewal of diplo-
matte intercourse. As soon as the news reach
es England, it is thought not improbable that
Mr.. Dallas will receive his walking papers,
Some of the Canada newspapers, which it is fair
to presume reflect the feelings and opinions of
the British public, take this view Of the matter,
and predict the dismissal of Mr.. Dallas within
an hour of the receipt of Mr.. Marcy's despatch.
No wonder if it should be so. The British Gov
eminent may reasonably feel offended at the
course of our Executive in wreaking q paltry
upon its officials, Notwithstanding
all the apologies which have been made. 1t
cannot but observe also the difference in our
treatment of its subjects and agents accused of
soldiers for the British army, and that
of the persons now raising men to recruit the
ranks of Gen. Walker in Nicaragua.

THE RECENT AFFRAY AT CNCINSATT.-The
Cincinnati Gazette gives the following account
of the atfray in which Mr.. Buell. Of Washington
city was stabbed:
On Wednesday evening o Mr.. B. F. White,
seeing a large crowd around the Burnet House,
concluded to make q speech upon q pile of rub
bish in a vacant lot near the Belvidere House.
When he had been silenced by the crowd, or
had completed his speech, Mr.. Geo. P. Buell., of
Washington City, got upon the stand and made
an attack upon ACKNOWLEDGMENT.
He was quito violent in his remarks and met
with considerable interruption from the crowd.
At last exasperated by this treatment, he descen-
ded from the stand and a general muss ensued,
in the course of which Mr.. Buell. received q
wound in the back from a large bowie-knife.-
An attempt was made to secure the assailant, but
with what success is doubtful. Two men were
arrested and taken to the Hammond street Sta
ton House. Their names are Carry and Cas-
sadly.
a Mr.. Buell's wound was examined by the sur
geons. 1t was found that the point of the blade
had penetrated the lungs, and that he was bleed
ing internally. A gentleman who saw him last
evening informs us that he said he had but little
pain, and was quite comfortable. The surgeons
thought his recovery doubtful. The chances are
decidedly against him. Mr.. Buell. is about 80
years old, a native of Indiana.
1t appears from the evidence on the inyestiga-
ton, that a lunatic named Garry was speaking,
when Buell. interrupted him and took the stand
himself. A fight ensued between them. Buell.
was said to be intoxicated.

A Painful Case.

The Circuit Court was engaged during the
greater mart of last week in tho trial of Blake
Randall, a citizen of this county, for the murder
of William Randall, his own father. The cir
cumstances of the case were about these. Inc
father was a violent, drinking, dangerous ana
worthless man; the son a well-behaved, sober
and industrious young man, who had the whole
care and support of the family upon his shoul-
ders. He was in fact the head of the household
So outrageous had frequently been the conduct
of the father, in cruelty beating his wife, his
wife's aged mother and even his son, that the
latter had on one occasion threatened to protect
himself and the family in the usual legal man
ner. Finally the father was induced to go d
vav He remained absent a year, at the end
of which time he returned, to resume his Ill
treatment of the whole family. In a drunken
frolic, he swore vengeance against his son, and
on one occasion attempted to put his threats
into execution. The son determined to leave
the premises, but was induced to remain at the
urgent solicitation of the females. The Old man,
who is said to have been OF powerful frame, MADE
the threatened assault, the son fled and was pur-
sued. and when about to fall into the hands OF
his a~ssailant, turned and dealt him a blow with
some kind of a cane. Either that blow, or the
fall which resulted from it, fractured the old
mans skull, and he died.
The prisoner was prosecuted by Col. Harman,
and defended by Messrs. Stuart, Baldwin, WIS
II. Baylor and George Baylor. The jury return
ed verdict of involuntary manslaughter"-the
penalty, three months Imprisonment in the
county jail and a fine of one cent.
The value of a good character is most striking
" illustrated in this issue of their case. Had the
son been a man of bad character or the father a
man of good character, the fate of the prisoner
would, doubtless, have been very different
