Democratic Arithmetic.

If we may believe the Bangor Democrat,
the Republican majority in the United States
Senate is going to be summarily reduced to
minority. The Senate now has "a members
Of whom 43 are Republicans. The terms of 10
expire in 1869. By some mistake the Demo
crat reckons only 36 States instead of 81, and
having left out Republican State makes on
ly Al Republicans, and 13 Republican vacan-
cies in 1869. This blunder illustrates the care
with which the Democrats estimate is made. 1t
is then assumed that five Republican Senators
will in 1869 be replaced by Democrats. This
is improbable; but suppose we concede it, the
Senate will then, upon the Democrats own
showing stand 3S to 16, maintaining a two
thirds Republican majority with 6 votes TO
spare. How is this majority to be overcome? +?
The Democrat says Wiley of West Virginia
and Norton OF Minnesota are going to rat ana
join the Democrats. Norton is already reck-
oned among the Democrats-mus have oeen
SO reckoned to make up the IL "spareu MN"

D.nocrats are going to elect 20 Senators!
THAT is modest, and these 20 Democratic SEN
ators, we suppose. are going to reinforce the
torlorn hope so efectually as to make the fig
ures stand 36 Republicans and 80 Democrats
Are they? Not quite yet, for the Democrats
tacitly conceding that they cannot be chosen
by the people of the South but will represent
the rebel aristocracy, grants that they will moi

Dominion Of Canada.

Nova Scotia is still the Banquo's ghost at
the Canadian feast. The debates on the
subject in the House of Commons continue,
and it is evident that the Opposition intend
to give trouble. 1t is understood to be the
policy of the Nova Scotia Party not to iden-
tify themselves with any section of the
House. They will not take the initiative in
any Parliamentary proceeding or legislative
measure. They will act as party of obser-
vation merely, until something turns up, but
resist the adoption of any measures a1ve rse
to Nova Scotian interests. The formally
recognized position of the leader OF the
Opposition has been declined by Mr.. Howe
as his acceptance of it would be construed
into a recognition of accomplished facts,
and partial abandonment OF his party. HI
occupies the sixth seat on the front tier Of
Opposition benches in the House.
On Thursday there was lively debate in
the Commons in the course of which Mf. 7
Darcy MCGEE spoke at length, rehearsing tn
history of the Confederation movemen
through its various stages, and the opposition
that had been shown to 1t. He spoke Il
glowing terms OF the future prospects Of tn
Dominion, and contended that the only thin
pow lacking was national pride and se.f cont
dence. In the course of his remarks Mr.. NC
Gee undertook to point out what seemeo
him some OF the best features of the ne" oon

Alabama Union League.

The Union League of Alabama rep
resents thirty thousand members In
the session of the. Grand Council. a
few days ago, resolutions of the most
radical character were adopted. The
Congress of the United States was
thanked for the opportunity it had
given the Loyal people of the South to
put their destinies into the hands of
loyalty. The assertion that. there
were not enough intelligent loyal
men in Alabama to administer the
government was treated with con-
tempt; and, finally, it was resolved,
that if the pacifcation now proposed
by Congress be not accepted in good
faith by those who rcbelled against
the Government, it is the duty of
Congress to urge to the full extent
against them the confiscation rnea-
sures proposed by Mr.. Stevens. Such
are the signs of the times in the
South, against which Connecticut
elections cannot prevail. s7oE 81

FARMING OF THE PRAlRIEs. M. III. Biz
kard, Des Moincs, Iowa, sent to the N. Y,
Farmers Clubs last Spring a note on farming
i'll the prairie regions Of the West. 1t is
musically dramatic. We will assume that
he has taken friend out to witness farming
operations and begins explanations, Yankee
fashion,b by asking questions. Thus-"What
is that man doing in this stalk-ticld, riding
on Il kind of two-whecled wagon ?" | hear
you say. swell, Sir, he is cutting the stalks
down ready for the plow That is a stalk
cutting machine, and it cuts them in pieces
i2to II inches long, making them readily
plowed under" "Just SOFA good invention"
you reply, "Do you see that man in this
Stubble-iield, riding on lowlooking thing,
| can hardly tell what. 1t must be some
kind of pillow, there's ground fresl-plowcd
near by?" "Yes, Sir that's four-horse
gang-plow. He rides all day, turning over
four to five acres, feeling no more tired at
night than when he began in the morning"
"Another good thing, you say. 81 see two
men over in that field with blue, two-wheel-
man appears to be working lever, the other
behind him is driving?' All, yes ! that's
a eorn-planter.. They put corn in box on
either side, hook two horses to it,and mount
the machine, and there, chatting, laughing
and enjoying themselves, they plant 10 10 IL
acres per day, doing it better than it can be
done with the hoe" well, WE'LL" you
reply, !" Is that the way you farm in Iowa ~
Yes, farming is done almost wholly by
machinery" 'And here is a man drilling
wheat or oats; he rides, of course, on his
dril?" " Yes; he would be ashamed to
walk when all his neighbors ride ''Surely,
this is farming made easy." you say. 1t
so. To tend farm of so or 100 acres in
the West is easier than to tend 20 or 40 in
the East. Such are scenes in the beautiful

Messrs Eaito,s.-I am glad to see that you are
stgitating the question of a School Convention in
this State. Some years since, County Convcn-
tion, which is authorized by law, assembled every
year in this city. This convention, although not
being well attended, extended beneficial intlu-
ence ON the schools.
The writers in your paper are either ignorant
OF what has been DONE or not caring to give
credit for the work that has been done, speak as
ii Teachers Institutes and Conventions were as
sembies to be introduced rather than to be re-
yived.
The undersigned cannot boast of his ability to
write, yet. he would hint, that if our leading
teachers compose rs hastily and as readily as
some who have essayed to enlighten us on educa-
ton, It is time that attention was paid to the mi
nor lights, who arc the wonder oil their country
patrons. Let there be a combined convention Of
teachers and of the friends of education let tile
subject of the School Law be fully discussed; let
modes of teaching be explained arouse the peo-
pie to the Importance of improving our common
schools, and great good will follow.

The Lime deposits Of Delaware.

A drive of rather more than eight miles, out of
Wilmington, OH the Lancaster turnpike, will
bring you to IIockcssin Valley, one of The green
spots of II most productive region. Here, con-
fined to space comparatively limited, yet in their
extent incXhaustiblc for generations, are the only
limestone deposits known to exist in this State.
The stone lies in close veins, running nearly north
and south, with dip. Of about forty-fvc degrees.
1t lies within few feet Of the surface and has
been worked to depth Of twenty-five or thirty
feet, without pcrcepiblc decline in quantity or
quality.
This limestone has been burned since 1872, by
the firm of which John G. Jackson State Senator
from this county, and well known to many Will
mingtonans, is the head. There arc erected on
the premises, two very large draw kilns, of which
one only is now in operation. The stone from
the quarres, which are only few feet distant, q
hauled up by steam power from the bottom, on
an inclined plane and dropped on II level with the
feeding doors of the kilns. An extensive saw
saw mill is run by the engine, which furnishes
power also, for hauling up the limestone and
and keeping the quarries free Of water.
The lime made here has a great reputation
among builders, and the demand for it cannot
possibly be supplied by the works operating on
the present scale. 1t is proposed to greatly ex-
tend tlcm and to operate under the direction of a
joint stock company. BY these means it is be-
lievcd tkat the present trade already large one,
can be trcblcd Or quadruplcd without effort. The
excellence of the lime is due to the fact that the
stone is of the Dolomitc' variety, in which the
dcsidemtum of combining magnesia and lime
in nearly equal proportions, is secured.
The magncsia is found by analysis to be about 10
per cent, being equal to some of the best deposits
IN the country.
We recommend tllo.c who wish pleasant ride
amid the green fields, and Autumn beauties, to
drive out to Hockessin, and look at the Delaware
| limestone. Mr.. Jackson, will take pleasure in
| showing you all of interest, which is not little
