In olden times, Adams and Jeffer-
son and Madison once-and in mod
ern days Van Buren and Taylor-had
less Electoral majority than Bucha-
nan but in the Popular vote Mr.. B.
appears to be more in the minority
than any other successful candidate
giving him all in South Carolina, he
seems at least 100000 in the rear.
The SURPLUS Fremont plurality in
either New York or Massachusetts, if
distributed in Pennsylvania, Indiana
and Illinois, would have elected Col.
Fremont.
Counting all the votes for Smith
(Abolition) and the other Scattering
votes, it is supposed Buchanan has no
absolute majority in any Free State
while the Empire State" gives 200
900 mai. against him or his Platform.

The Southern Press

The Richmond Enquirer, in an editorial
thus acknowledges An error into which it
fell during the late canvass r
'During the late canvass, ,te often spoke
in very round terms Of the universal, NOR
al, political and religious skep,ieism Of
the Black Republicans. We asserted The
party to be mere congeries Of isms We
were sincere in our assertions. W. are no,o
Undecided. We respect the Americans
too much North and South TO believe for
moment that party SO large as that
which voted for Mr.. Fremont is composed
wholly, or chiefly, of fanatics, inflels or
skep.ic.. We have to look out for other
causes for this national movement. We
find clue ts them in the article on which
We are commenting. The North believes
the South is arrogant, overbearing and ag-
gressive. The North is mistaken, but sin
cere.
"New York, Philadelphia and Baltimore
never were more busily engaged in the
slave trade, for slaves are worth a thou
sand dollars around, and interest and hu-
rnanity prompt to its prosecution.
"Homsr did not know letter in the
book, and Plato held that the invention Of
letters had diminished human intellectual
ity. Reading aud writing are the means,
prob:by the 'oorst means of acquiring
knowledge and wisdom. The time en-
ployed in their requisition is of itself time
lost, for it prevents enlargement of the
mind from observation and experience.
As means of acquiring knowledge, the
Euopean laborer does not find time to EN-
ploy them. He is very generally the
worse for knowing them, at first, because
the time be is shut up in school, is 50 much
precious time lost, in the most iupressible
period of life from observation and expert
ence; and secondly, if he does read, it is
for low stimulation and excitement, and is
confined to Murrell's murders, Greeley's
paper and Dickens novels"

Threatened Violence.

The Chicago Tribune says that they hear
from good authority that an attack is con-
templated at this session of Congress
upon Senator Wilson and Mr.. Burlingame.
1t predicts that the first month of the ses-
sion will not pass BY, before the telegraph
will send US an account Of an outrage, or
an attempted outrage, upon them. The
malice Of Brooks and Keitt, nursed and
applauded by their constituents, will make
itself felt. 1t was only by the earnest
entreaties and fear of the consequences
to Mr.. Buchanan, they were restrained
from the commission of murder before the
last session closed. But now Mr.. Buch-
anan is elected and Border Ruffianism may
run riot. Our readers will remember our
predictions.

Rats and Grain.

To protect grain from rats, you have to
thresh early, say in November, and then
you must have building tha. is rat tight,
to save it in good condition. If rats have
free access to grain, it is impossible to
have it free from the litter Of rats. This
makes it look bad, for it damages the sale
of grain very much. You will observe the
necessity Of early tbreshing and careful
storing. Perhaps few hints on the con-
struc,ion Of grain storebouse may be Of
some importance to some careless farmer
The first principal object to look out for is
the foundation if this is all right, the
important obstacle is overcome. This
foundation consists of round posts only,
for corn.crib they should be 5 feet long,
3 feet in the ground, and 2 out; for a
storehouse, they want to be feet long, 4
feet in the ground, and 3 out-this will
bring the bottom of the building level with
. common wagon box. These posts may
be made Of white oak, chestnut or rock
oak. They should be shaved perfectly
smooth on the outside, and set with the
butt end up. The upper or butt end
should be squared off with saw, then
put a common milkpan on the upper end
Of these posts With the bottom up. This
pan will prevent all rats and mice ascend
ing to the building, for it is hard job for
rats and mice to climb smooth post that
is set with the little end down, and then to
make around the pan is an impossible
thing. Fora corncrib, 3 posts on side are
sufficient for grain storehouse, II by 20
feet, it requires 4 on a side, or one under
every post of the building. Let your sills
rest on the bottom of the pan, and then
proceed with your building in any desira-
bic way. think the roof of grain
building should project at least 2 feet fSom
the main body of the building all round.
Hemlock lumber is superior to any other
for granaries, for it is hard, corky, and full
Of slivers, which is hard TO gnaw. When
building is infested with rats and mice,
l would recommend portable bins made to
hold not more than 100 bushels with cast
wheels under them, say six inches in diam
e.er. Ifbins are portable you may arrange
them as you please, SO as to travel around
them on every side This will give you
and your dog and cat good chance to kilI
these depredators. When l see a farmer
feeding from 40 to 100 rats all winter on
grain, when it is worth from 4 to 20 shil-
lings per bushel, calculate be is climbing !
the ladder of science feet foremost. and is
liable to fall before he arrives at the top,
yet many are doing business in this same
way. Were they compelled to give the
amount of grain to the poor that these
long tailed devils destroy yearly for them,
they would feel very much afFronted.
Open your eyes, friends, and look iato this
matter Opego Times.
