g. The existing telegraph monopolies have
never sought TO supply adequately the de-
mand for the use OF the telegraph, much
less have they attempted TO stimulate such
demand by an increase of facilities and a
reduction Of rates. While their facilities
have remained aboet constant their rates
have steadily advanced, until the use Of the

WEST VIRGINIA.
From the Wheeling Inielligencer /:
Gentlemen recently returned from the
kanawha Valley say the season Is fully
81 month In advance OF the season here.
Vegetation is already luxuriant, and the
weather decidedly fervid. The fruit
crop is very promising. Wheat, OF
which the quantity sown is limited, looks
veil. The Kanawha Valley Is chiefly
devoted. ii seems, To corn and tobacco
The Kanswha people have theory that
their sSlt furnaces make their climate
mild. 1t is more probably the sun.
They are some three degrees of latitude
further south than We are here.
GEORGIA.
Up TO a late heavy fre=het, says the
Macon Journal and Messenger, the crops
were doing Enely But the fields were
everywhere flooded with water, covering
and burying the plants. In low and
rolling grounds the soil, guano and crops
were. in thousands of instances, washed
entirely away. They will have to be
almost wholly repianted. There Is,
fortunately, plenty Of time to commence
anew and raise a good crop. Ia this
connection it may be stated that oul
planters have, as general rule, put in
an abundance of wheat, corn and oats tc
do them.

WE have been privately assured by most in
tclligent and candid Democrat that he regards
the result in Vermont and Maine as an infalli-
BILE indication of the defeat of his party. He
says the Democrats did not expect to carry
either of these States, but did expect great re-
action in public sentiment against Radical rule,
and very small Union majorities. The result
shows no such reaction, but fresh development
of Republican strength We have no longer any
reason to expect anything better in other States,
and past all doubt, much as l may regret to see
it, Grant and Colfax will be elected by an over
whelming majority. The whole North and West
will go for them to dead certainty. - Napa

Gratis here acknowledged that they expected gains
to their side in both States. Now they very

The following synopsis of his effort is taken from

The first speaker of the evening was Hon. Jas
A. Johnson, candidate for reelection to Congress
from this district He was received with a round
of applause. He said he would not speak long
his friends-wherever he wcnt-had been ad-
monishng him to make short speeches. He
g. told a little story" about Mr.. Harrison, in lu-
gubrious manner; his effort at storytelling hav-
ing about the same degree of cheerfulness as
whistling in graveyard. lie then went on, in
a disjonted and confused way, to make some
illusions to the reconstruction policy of Con-
gress; gave some intricate calculations that he
had made as to how much of the national debt
it would require to level Mount Hood to the sea
and cart the dirt over the plains and dump it
into Boston haroor, with other similarly lucid
remarks on the financial question; spoke Of
some of the Republican members Of Congress
as scallawags" and the " offscourings of God
Almightys earth - and said be was confident
of his own success, and the success of Seymour
