ST. PAUL MINI, July ~, 1868.
Editor ISlegraph.-June and July have
been exceedingly dry and hot, not had
days rain since the 28th of May, on the
third of June it rained nearly half day,
since we have had a few light showers
and sprinkles, sometimes barely laying
the dust. GARDENS are drying up, pastures
are barren, and all vegetation suffering
forlwater. Strawberries, raspberries, &c,
were not more than half crop Wheat
and oats are good throughout the state,
and are far more than half cut, but little
stacked yet. Corn promises fair, the dry
hot weather having been favorable. 1t
is too dry for potatoes, and they are
setting very sparsely, those planted for
early use; yield but lightly; a large
breadth of ground is planted in this Sec
ton, being considered the most valuable
crop. The potato bugs have been, and
are still very destructive, many whole
fields are eaten up, notice they eat the
Peach Blows least, the ST. Helena's and
Flukes most, and perhaps the Early
Goodrich equally bad, to-day heard it
remarked that another bug had appeared
whose mission it seemed to be to kill the
potato bug, if that be true, l wish them
success, they have nearly as big job as
Seymour and Blair.
Harvest is well along, hands are very
scarce, wages from $3.50 to $500 per day,
depends upon localities, and the pressing
of the work. Some farms between here
aud st. Cloud have two thousand acres of
wheat, and on them are employed one
hundred men, half dozen Reapers, and
several threshing machines, some farmers
use the headers. Many thrash as fast as
they cut, not stacking, burning the straw
on the field. The large farmers have less
difficulty to obtain all they want than
thosewho employ few men, Emigration
has been very large here all summer, ev-
cry train and boat from below are more
or less freighted. They are Swedes and

from the South and east are constantly
arriving, they campon the prairies driving
all kinds of stock with them, have seen
sixteen wagons in single
train. The river is very low,
and but few large boats attemptto come
up. The city is full of visitors, excursion
lists and eastern r. r. men.

tors active particularly some who in

2, S. Since writing the above we had
heavy thunder shower of three hours
duration, some of the time raining in
torrents. Thunder and lightning severe,
and wind very high. It's extent is large,
hundreds of acres of wheat in shock must
be blown down and badly wet, from where
can see over several hun dred acres, and
but few shocks are left standing.

SENATOR DooLITTLE.-Mr Doolittlear.
rived home on Friday last: Postmaster
Tapley and another chap, sought to give
his Honor grand reception at the Depot,
and make his entrance into the CITY a
triumphal one The Milwaukee Neacs tries
to put good face on the affair as fol-
lows:
''The cordial manner in which Senator
Doolittle was received by his fellow citi-
zens on his return to Racine, as stated by
a correspondent in another place, is cred
liable both to him and to them. NIL.
Neqcs.
To this the Racine Journal responds as
follows:
"Holy Moses !! We promised the
6ronseheG0Ied gentleman in onr Office, who
made up nearly half the procession, that
II the democrats would not write or tele-
graph any internal lie to the Mil. Meas, we
would say nothing nothing about that, the
most stupendous tizzle, that has ever taken
place on the earth, since the DAYS of the
aforementioned Moses. AS watchman
on the walls of equal rights and humanity
we cannot permit such base falsehood tc
go unrebuked. Notwithstanding the party
tugtenaan had spent day or so, in coaxine
drumming, and otherwise trying to get uT
demonstration, the whole thing amount
ed to eight persons and it is to be hoped
and expected that two of those went tc
the depot on business. This is the truth

Why Democrats oppose Reconstruction.

Why Democrats oppose Reconstruction,
The issue between Democrats and Re.
publlcans, on the question of reconstruc-
tlon is plain one,and every voter should
understand it. Republicans insist that
the states late in rebellion, shall be re.
stored In an attitude of loyalty to the
government and that loyal men shall
rule The Democratic party insists that
these who sought to overthrow the
government and who were rebels during
the war, shall be restored to power, and
nave rule in the late seeded States
Tins is no perverted statement of the
case. Those who were rebels during the
war,were professedly Democrats then,and
are Democrats still. The loyal white peo-
pie south during the war, were in sym.
pathy with Republicans then, and are so
still The Freedmen very naturally take
SIDES with their liberators, the Republi-
cans The Democratic party, rather than
the loyal population of the South
should be put in possession of power
mucn prefer to have the original slave
holders and secessionists control the State
Governments. This is thereason why the
Democratic party north, manifest such
intense opposition to Republican Recon.
struction.

National Finances,

The Democratic journals are constant
ly charging our Republican Congress
with extra vagances, and wasteful expen-
diture Of the peoples money. Commits
sioner Wells has made an official state
ment of the National finances for the fiscal
year ending June Both 1858. 1t is IN
necessary to publish this official document
in detail the showing is, that there has
been large curtailment of the public ex-
pense, as compared with the preceding
year. The aggregate reduction Of expen-
ses is $89 ,668,379.
Since the close of the war, $3.50, 600 900
of the national debt have been paid and
cancelled, which is a reduction of the
charge for interest to the extent of $15,-
100000 per annum.
The official statement. of the receipts
and expenditures of the Government since
the close of the war is an ample and di-
rect refutation of the reckless assertions
offriends of Seymour and Blair, that the pub
lie money has been wasted.
The Kenosha telegraph. [volume] (Kenosha, Wis.) 1860-1888, 1868-08-06
The Issue.

We repeat what we have before said
the issue in the ensuing campaign is the
same as during the war, only with the diff
ference that the contest has been transfer
red from the battlefield to the ballot box.
The Republicans at the north, have pre-
cisely the same class of men to contend
with at home, and in the south, they had
while the war continued. Every northern
Democrat who sympathized with secession
and the southern confederacy, is now for
Seymour and Blair Every grey coated
rebel throughout the South, who fought
to destroy the Union, is now rampant for
Seymour and Blair The line of distinc-
ton is even less marked now, than while
the war was in progress; then hostile
armies interviewed and the northern and
southern Democracy were kept apart-now
the northern and southern wings of the
Democratic party stand shoulder to Shout
der, united for the fight.

Progresa of Raoonstrnntinn.

The almost constant theme of the Dem
ocratic presses, is the unjust exclusion of
the Southern States from a representation
in Congress. The following six have been
restored to the Union and are represented
il the Senate OF the United States. The
names of these Senators and the States of
which they were residents before the war,
are as follows:
NORTH CAROLINA.
Joseph G. Abbott, New Hampshire.
John Pool, North Carolina
SOUTH CAROLINA.
Thomas j. Robertson, South Caro-
lima
Frederick A. Sawyer, Massachusetts,
FLORIDA.
Alpheus S. Welch, Michigan.
Thomas Ward Osborn, New York.
ALABAMA.
Willard Warner, Ohio.
George 4. Spencer, Iowa.
LOUISIANA.
John S. Harris, Wisconsin,
William Pitt Kellogg, Illinois.
ARKANSAS
Alexander Mcdonald, Kansas.
Benjamin T. Rice, Minnesota.
It is noticeable fact, after all the
clamor made, respecting these states be
ing kept out of Union, that now since they
are in, the Democrats want them out
again. They publicly declare they in
tend to undo the work of reconstruction
And why is it Simply because these
states have come back into the Union I'M
der loyal goyernments-which means Re.
publican. Had they been restored with
the late rebels in power, it would have
been ell right with the Democratic
party.

Three Men Suffocated in a Well,

From the Rock Island (Ill.) Argus, 1st
We learn from Mr.. VIM. Kate, of this
city, who was at LeClaire last evening,
(the 31st) that man named Smith de-
scended into well, about eighteen feet
deep, for the purpose of cleaning it out.
Others at the top of the well, hearing
nothing from him became alarmed, and
another man went down to see what was
the matter. Nothing being heard from
him another went down, with like result
A rope was then placed around the waist
of the fourth man and he was let down
and found them all apparently dead.
He seized one and was hauled up, and
then went for the others in the same way.
Their faces were fearfully distorted,
their eyes protruding horribly Restora-
tiyes were applied and all recovered,
though not without much effort When
reviving. their groans were terrible from
the pain they endured
Afterwards candle was let down and
was extinguished when only five feet in
the WELL
People should never enter into we'll
without first trying the air with light.

KENTUCKY ELEcTIoN.-The election in
kentucky for Governor took place
on Monday last. The state has gone
largely Democratic. This was not uney-
Pected' last year Helm, the Democratic
candidate for Governor was elected over
barnes hep, by 56,2S6 majority. Ken
lucky sent some fifty or sixty thousand
soldiers into the rebel army ; every one of
'hese grey-backs who got back alive voted
'-ie democratic ticket on Monday last, and
every one of these ex-rebels can he safoI-
counted upon for Seymour and Blair n

over the success, of the rebel Democracy

Democratic Party in 1864 and 1868.

SN~~~ -
The Democratic party, represented in
the National Convention at Chicago in
1854 made the streets of that city vocal
with denunsiations of Lincoln, as a tyrant,
usurper and despot, because Of his putting
forth every effort to save the country from
destruction by the rebellion. The same
party assembled in National council in
New York in 1868, cheered the presence
of rebels in the Convention at Chicago
Valiandingham having then just returned
from his Canadian exile, was one of the
prime managers in the Convention He
and Seymour then had the reputation of
framing the platform. In the late New
York Convention, Vallandingham again
assumes the character of leader, and NOM
mates Seymour for President. At Chicago
the Democratic party through its orators
denounced the Republican party for be-
ing engaged in an unconstitutional war
at New York the Republican party was
denounced for restoring the Union. At
Chicago the Democracy declared that the
four years of war through which the coun-
try had then passed was failure. At
New York the same party assert that the
efforts of Republicans to restore the
Union is failure. When the Democratic
Convention at Chicago declared four years
OF war failure, three fourths of the rebel
lion had'already been conquered D.; when
the same party declared in New York,
that the restoration of the Union was a
failure, seven of the ten States had already
been returned to the Union.
Gov. Seymour presided over the anti
war Convention in Chicago in 1864, and
also over the revolutionary Convention, in
New York. In the former he and his party
declared war ought TO cease, in the latter
that peace ought to cease. Seymour at
Chicago did his utmost to bring the war
to an immediate and ignominious end he
now seeks to foment new troubles. He
failed in the accomplishment of his pur-
poses in 1854, he will also fail in 1868.
The Democratic party holds the same
antagonisns to the true Union sentiment
of the country in 1868, as it did in 1864 !:
except with this difference; it was then,
only in sympathy with the rebellion, it is
non in open league with all who were con-
spicuous or in any way engaged in the
overthrow of the Union The distinguish
ed military leaders and the Soldiers of the
late confederate armies the officers of the
late SO called Southern confederacy, are
now for Seymour and Blair, with even
greater enthusiasm, than their northern
allies. Nor do very many of these men,
late with bloody hands, conceal what they
hope torealize in the election of the Dem
ocratic candidates. They profess to see in
the election OF Seymour and Blair, the
restoration of the "lost cause !" a return
to the old order of things which the mod
ern civilization and christianity of the
world detests.

PRoscRIPTIoN.-We hear great amount
of denunciation occasionally about Repub-
lican prescription. But what will these
persons, who profess such h orror of pro
scription say of the Southern Democracy
Gen. Wade Hampton, who is now oneEo1
the great Southern leaders for Seymour
and Blair, gave the following advice in a
great Democratic meeting held in Rich
mond, Va, few days age. "Agree among
yourselves, and act firmly on ttis agreement
that you a0iU not employ a'ay one mho gotas
the radical ticket"

The July report of the Commissioner OF
agriculture stated that while the wheat

welcome intelligence that just the opposite
is true. "The harvest in the Platte valley

will yield forty bushels per acre in large
portion of valley, and oats from fifty to

Dlscord on local and personal questions
IS apt to divide the Republican party in
New York, as it did the Democratic in
the days OF Its power; but ali seems to be
harmony there nov. The New York
Times, a journal which, whatever its otber
faults is eandid and not at all given to
exaggeration, says CRAFTS majority in that
State will be $4,000. 1t says that among
the business classes. of New. York city,
thousands who do not ordinarily vote the Re,
publican ticketare now SUSTAINING General
Grant. They long for that peace which
his election would bring, that they may
renew commercial relations with the
Southern people 1t is for the interest OF
all classes that the civil governments there
established should be permanent, and that
the disturbing influence of Southern dis
organization should cease.

General James B. Steedman, of Ohio
who has been supporter of johnson, says
that he should support Grant and Colfax
This is regarded as somewhat significant,
from the fact that he is warm personal

Representation in the Congressional Con-
vention.

The Racine Adoocate calls attention to
the present ratio of representation in the
Congressional Convention, and believes
it manifestly unfair. The Adgocate main
tsins, that the number of Republican votes
cast in each county, should constitute the
basis upon which the number of delegates
for such county should be apportioned
This is the rule adopted in Illinois, Iowa,
Minnesota, and in many of the Eastern
States. The reasoning of the AdoOcate in
favor of change here, is not without
force, and the matter is proper subject
for consideration at the ensuing conven
ton. In this county however, propositions
more than once if we mistake not have
been made to apportion delegates in the
county convention among tibet owns, accord
ing to the Republican vote of the towns
but such proposals have failed to meet
with much favor
