Bg Our readers will doubtless remem-
Der the name of LeGrand Byington, who,
years ago, figured as leading Demo
cratic politician in this State. He went
to Iowa some twelve or fifteen years ago
and has just turned up as claimant for
seat in Congress. The trick shows
that he is the same LeGrand Byington
as Of old Col. Vandever, the Repu bill
can member of Congress from the North
ern District Of Iowa, took command of a
regiment Of volunteers and is patriotic
ally serving his country as a soldier
He did not resign his seat, and the peo-
pie had no idea that there was a mem
Der Of Congress to elect, and never
thought of electing one. But through
the secret working Of the Is. G. C.'s, or
some other hocus -pocus, Byington got
few Of his party to vote for him, for
Congress, and as no body else suspected
there was any Congressman to elect, no
body else was voted for. LeGrand now
claims that Col. Nandever forfeited his
seat in Congress by serving his country
in the camp; and as no one else got any
votes to fill his place, he, the LeGrand,
aforesaid, will slip into Congress on
that pretty little trick. 1t would be
characteristic to be sure. But we think
there are hardly K. G. C.'s enough in
that body to let their "brother'' inl-
lie will have the impudence, no doubt,
to make the claim, and when refused.
he will claim milage and pay for his
dirty attempt to GUST an honest patriot
from his seat that he night sneak into
it and draw the pay of Member of Con
gress from the treasury of the country
whose very life he would betray into the
hands of its bolder, and therefore more
honorable enemies But LeGrand will
hardly find Congress as easy to manage
as he did the Legislature of Ohio when
he was supreme in his party, and his
party was supreme in the State

A Mr.. Kendall, Of Maryland, is electri-

apple tree, and will produce much more
cotton to the acre, without any more
culture than an apple orchard, than
can be raised by any amount Of fog,

it seems to be an established fact that
