Awkward Mistake at an Imperial Ball.
The Paris correspondent of the London Morn
eng Star relates an amusing adventure which
occurred to foreign gentleman who received
an invitation to the state ball which took place
recently at the Tuileries. Being a stranger
he naturally inquired whether any particular
dress was required on these occasions, when he
was informed that he must appear en- unIt0rnle.
which expression does not alone imply mIlttary
naval, or civil costume, but like wise signifies
court dress. The gentleman, however, not aware
of this, proceeded to a tailor on the Boulevards
and seeinga splendid suit ofblue, magnldccuIly
embroidered with gold, thought he could not
do better than order similar suit wherein 10
make his appearance at the ball. On MS arrI-
val at the Palace he was much gratIded at the
respect with which he was received, and not
little tlattered by being ushered into the presence
of their Majesties by the private entree, Gro Wdcd
at that moment by several personages whose
dress was similar to his own. He remarked
that several amongst them looked at hin with
some surprise, and evidently inquired amongst
each other who he was; but seeing that they all
looked gentlemen and persons of a certain age
he innocently congratulated himself on having
evidently done the right thing. A few moments
however, had scarcely elapsed when an official,
in a gorgeous scarlet and cold uniform, came up
to him, and, in a somewhat peremptory tone
requts,ed MIN to follow him into the next room.
The Tact was, toe unfortunate gentleman hau
furnished himself with a Senator's dress.

HOW TO VOTE.

As the time to vote on the question OF ConVen
ton is at hand, it becomes important to know
what is to be voted for and how the ticket is bt
written or printed. Like everything else connect
ed with reconstruction, the process of voting Il
complicated and not easy to understand. Thert
are two things to be decided by the election: first
whether there is to be convention; and second
who are to be the delegates to that convention, i
held. The law requires that both Of these ques
tions must be voted on by the same ticket. Or
one side, must be written or printed the words
s'For Convention" or "Against Convention,
which is to indicate the voters verdict on the hrs
point to be decided. On the other side, must bt
written or printed the names of the persons to-
whom the voter desires to vote, as delegates. Ii
is also prescribed that the ticket be so folded as te
display the word Convention" on the outside
and conceal the names of the candidates. This
method of folding is required, because the ballots
are first to be counted for and against conven
ton; and then the votes for the candidates. 1t Is
essential that the words ''For Convention OF
sAgainst Convention" be observed; for those
are the forms prescribed by law, and votes given
in other forms, such as Convention" or INC
Convention" may be thrown out by the Boards

MACHINE FARMING.

We find in an agricultural exchange, an admlra
bic illustration of what may be accomplished by the
use of machines in farming. Mr.. o. DALRYMpLE
of Minnesota raised, this year, crop OF AZ, sou
bushels of wheat, on 100 acres Of land His lano
was divided into three farms, on one OF which is
field of 72O acres, enclosed by substantial boaro
fence. During harvest, 73 men were hired on this
farm, at So. so per day and board, and seven Nc
Cormick reapers, each drawn by four horses, fol
lowed each other in regular order, cutting an ag
gregate swath of 40 feet The machines were sci
in motion on the 18th of August, and in twelve
days the entire crop Of 100 acres was harvested
On the 22nd, FIVE threshers and cleaners commen
ced operations in the field the wheat being hauled
in wagons to the river, as fast as it was cleaned
Within three weeks after the work Of harvesting
commenced, this immense crop was on the way tc
market.
The amount Of the crop is estimated by the
journal from which we get the facts; the estimate
being founded upon the lowest figures guessed al
by the neighboring farmers who thought the yielc
would be from 25 to 30 bushels per acre. Ihl'
crop, at 81. so per bushe would be worth $63,75O,
and the profits of the owner, above all expenses
are said to be $4,000. The land upon which thi'
crop was made, is rolling prairie, broken up last
spring, and the seed was put in by the machine
known as the ''broadcast seed-sower," several Of
which are kept on each farm.
The above facts enable US to form some idea oi
the way in which the immense grain crops Of the
Northwest are made. The people of that section
have learned the superiority of machinery over
manual labor

THE VIRGINIA ELECTION.

Despite a noble effort by the Conservatives Of
Virginia, aided in some places, by Federal officers
who spoke in favor of Conservative candidates, the
Old Dominion has been carried by the Radicals
The majority was small but the State Convention
has been sustained, and the members elect are
Radical by majority fifteen. HUNNIcUTT, CN-
DERwooD, MoRRIsEY, and two negroes were
elected to represent Richmond. ..,.. ...a
These results were foreordained by the ruling
powers, and they were accomplished by any and
every MEANS fair and UNFAIR that could be used.
The military found it necessary to patrol the
streets of the city, to que the disturbances caused
by the mob of ignorant negroes who favored the
Radical cause. Such negroes as voted the Conser-
vative ticket, did so at the peril Of their lives Not
only in Richmond, but in the other cities in the
State, these voters were pursued and taunted by
the mob; and the interference of the military a.
lone protected them. Hunnicutt's son was arrest
ed and sent to the Libby, for tearing up Conserva-
tive tickets in the hands Of negro voters; but he
was soon released Some Conservative negroes
were driven from the polls, without being permit
ted to deposite their votes. The election was con-
tinued in three wards one day more than was first
ordered, to ensure the election Of Radical candi-
dates.
To call the reception of votes at the polls in Vir-
ginia free election, is misnomer The form OF
an election was preserved; but the results were
determined beforehand. General SoHoHELD in
the first place, so arranged the districts which were
to elect delegates as to give the negroes con-
trolling vote, although the whites have majority
of l5 900 registered votes in the State. But even
with this advantage given them, the Radicals had
to beg an extra day to manufacture voters in Rich
mond and to resort to violence and riots through
out the State, in order to carry Virginia.
This is a fine specimen of the freedom of the bal
lot-box under the Reconstruction Acts, and the
people of the South may as well make up their
minds that their States are to be counted Radical
whatever the sentiments of the people One more
resort is nominally left them, viz: to vote down
the constitutions framed by these conventions, if
they do not like them. But in military elections, as
has just been demonstrated in Virginia, the Gen
eral commanding can produce any result he desires.
Military republicanism is monster, which posses
ses none of the benefits Of monarchy or democracy,
while it combines the faults of both to wit tyran-
ny and mob-law. Unless this monster is swept a.
way by the Northern people in the next Congress
sional elections the prospects Of free government
in America are dark. Fortunately for our country
the indications are that the Northern people a0it
slay this mongrel form of government at their frs
opportunity.

. GENERAL GRANT.

No man in the country is so closely watched by
the wire-pulers of American politics, as General
GRANT. The most Insignificant remark that drops
from his lips, if it can be twisted into an express
sion of his political sympathies, is telegraphed
over the country as an important piece OF neWs
As it has long been taken for granted that ne IS to
be candidate for the Presidency at the next cleo
tion and with good chances for success, his sentl-
ments haze become matter ofimportance to the
people Indeed, those who cherish a love Of re-
publican institutions, begin to think more impor-
tance is attached to the opinions of Gen. GRANT,
than those of any man under heaven are entitled
to- For it is ominous of evil to a country, when
the eyes of its people are anxiously turned upon
one man, and he mere military chief, as it the
fate of the country hung upon his decisions.
But the destinies of the American nation are
not after all, so dependent upon the nod of the
modern ULYSSES, as they seem to be. The UNI
pire-like position which Gen. GRANT has succeed
ed in gaining between the President and Congress,
is mainly due to his having hitherto kept his lips
closed He has for several months been in the
hands of Experienced trainers of nags for the Pres
idential races. These jockeys resolutely muzzled
him at the first, and with some difficulty have kept
him muzzled until very recently. By so doing
they have kept up his strength, which was &C.
quired by his so-called genius as soldier, and
have made it desirable thing to both parties to
have him for their nominee in 1858. But, unfor-
tunately for their schemes, the General has un-
wisely opened his mouth. He evidently leans to
the Radical party, and yet he does not go. far
enough to please the leaders of that party.
In recent letter to DR.. LIEBER, GRANT says
he trusts he may have strength to answer any re-
sponsibility that may devolve upon him; that he
will accept any responsibility, however solemn, if
the country demands it of him. This language is
considered as an assurance that he will obey Con-
gress, in case the President is impeached and re-
fuses to be removed previous to trial. How he Is
to ascertain whether the country desires such
service of him, we are not informed. But if he
takes this position his chances for the Presidency
by popular election, are gone. If the country
shall reach crisis when the right to rule the coun-
try is to be settled by arms, there will be no more
Presidents But if no such crisis occur, which is
more probable, GRANTS expressed willingness to
settle it by arms, will ruin his prospects as can
ddate. Nor can he afford to lose ground now;
for the extreme Radicals already favor another,
and the Democrats will not take him up.
