Can Dispatches be Refused .

A brute entered the office of the Western
Union Telegraph Company few days ago.
and offered dispatch addressed to a lady,
couched in language SO profane as to raise
the question of the propriety of its recep-
ton. Are we supposed to know or recog-
nize the language OF dispatch ? Must we
not accept everything offered to US ? Are
we to be the judges of the morality of mes
sages? Such are the questions which
sometimes puzzle receivers Ill the perform
ance of their duty. In the case referred
to the appeal was made to the chief execu-
tive officer, who promptly endorsed upon
it as follows "Thls message must be re-
fused, no matter what the consequences
may be-" This was formerly, and We trust
now will be the understood rule. No brute
sloull be allowed to use the wires for the
conveyance of his yulgarity, and messages
or this character. essentially profane or OBJ
scene, may with safety be retuted. In the
reception of messages having IN view the
commission of crime, the law rejects the
idea of an obligation on the part of teIe-
graph companies to receive whatever is
handed to them.-JouraaI Of The Telegraph.

Condition of the Crops in October,

The monthly report ofthe commissioner
Of agriculture just issued says:
The full promise of the early summer
has not been realized in the wheat har-
vest. The increase Of area over that of
last year. in its effect upon the aggregate
production, is nearly neutralized by a
small diminution in some of the principal
wheat-growing States, in the yield per
acre; 50 that the increase in the total
quantity, as shown by our October returns,
Is scarcely more than three per cent, and
that is obtained mainly from the Pacific
coast. The progress Of wheat culture
westward is somewhat remarkable, and its
history is not altogether unlike that of cot
ton, ii its occupancy or new lands, and
their desertion after q few years use, not
indeed to grow up in sedge Or forest,
but 10 be laid down in grass or employed
N more varied range of production. The
averages for October appear to show q de-
crease in production in Maine, New Hamp-
shire, Massachusetts, Connecticut, New
Jersey, North Carolina, South Carolina,
Georgia, Alabama and Texas, the latter
having only half crop. The other States
indicate an increase, in most of those east
Of the Mississippi very slight, in Mime
sofa, l3 per cent; in Iowa, 6; in Missouri,
); III Nebraska, 13; in Kansas, %; and in
California, % per cent. Many places in
different parts of the country, especially
IN Maryland and Wisconsin, report a disap-
pomtment in the yield of grain in thresh-
mg.
tbo cat crop is light in the eastern.
middle, and southern Atlantic States is
not full average in Michigan, Wisconsin,
and Iowa IN the other States the product
IS above the average, the largest increase

most of the Atlantic States It will scarcely

Iowa, and more northern latitudes. Yet

WASHINGTON, Nov. 4.--The election Of
Grant being conceded and the presiden-
tial canvass over but twentyfour hours, the
0uid uuncs and politicians hereabouts have
already started upon q sea Of speculation
as to the course that will be pursued by
the new President in the treatment of
measures Of purely partisan character,
the formation OF Cabinet, and the dis
pensation Of official patronage generally.
Undoubtedly many thousands Of conser-
vativa citizens have cast their votes for
Grant in the belief that he is at heart con-
servative, and that he will, after all, sur
prise the radicals by the moderation, JUS
tiee and magnaninity of his official con-
duct. Be this as it may, such is the opin-
ion of those here who profess to be con-
versant with Grants innermost views and
his hitherto undisclosed purposes.
There are some who anticipate before the
close of Grants first year in the White
House, almost as complete an estrangement

MANURES.

During the winter months large accu-
mutations of manure can be made, if the
materials be gathered with diligence. If
compost be needed let the stable manure
be composted with woods mould, or any
other good, rich earth. The manure may
be thus greatly increased in quantity. But
mere accumulations of coarse, raw materi-
al in the yards, do not effect that purpose,
unless there is due proportion of rich
manure with which to compost them.

TOBACCO.

The tobacco as it cures should be as
much protected as circumstances may ad-
nit against rain and high winds. All ex-
posure to fogs or damp weather in ures the
appearance of the crop, and high winds
break and deface it when it is dry. AS soon
as the stems of the leaves are free from
sap, the tobacco is sufficiently cured for
stripping from the stalks, and every moist
season should be availed of for the pur-
pose The earlier this work can be done,
the better on every account. Tobacco
loses in weight and quality while hanging
in the house and it is very important that
it be prepared for market at the earliest
practicable time, for these reasons, as we'll
as because we should be prepared to take
advantage of the early market and have
the preparation OF the crop out OF the way
of spring work.
In stripping let every attention be given
to be proper sorting of the different colors,
and the utmost neatness be observed ia
tying and handing. It is not gene oil
known how much the appearance of sam
pie depends on these apparently small mat
ters, and, consequently, the sale of the
crop.
The corn crop is now in condition to be
secured. AS long as it is in the field it is
liable to loss from various sources, and the
gathering should be pressed forward to get
it under lock and key.
Fodder, after separating the corn, should
be bauled to where it may be wanted for
feeding, and properly !stacked. If practi-
cable, the stalks should be fed early, that
their decomposition may be advanced by
the trampiug they may get through the
winter. If blades have been preserved in
proper season they make the best fodder
for working horses in not weather, and
portion should be preserved for that pur-
pose.
