A Striking Incident.

The Hon John T. Hoffman, Democratic.
candidate for Governor of New York, open
ed his canvass at Buffalo on Tuesday last.
At the close of his mastery, effort, he said :
"But we want no military President. The
country wants a statesman. Loud cheers
The day of the sword is passed An Incl
dent occurred at the meeting Of the National
Convention which was an omen. That grand
hall where the Convention met was full of
patriotic men. Upon its walls were placed
the shields of thirty seven States, and around
every shield was the American flag. Upon
the platform stood two bronzed statuetes Of
noble soldiers, one leaning upon great
bronzed sword. The Convention had been
in session for several days; ballot after ballot
had taken place. For one was up and then
another, and at last gallant General, whose
name has never been mentioned anywhere
save with respect I mean General Han
cock. No man knew whether on the next
ballot he was Or was not to be chosen Eve
rything was uncertain, when suddenly the
great bronzed sword in the hand of that no.
bic statue snapped asunaer at the hit It
was not touched by mortal haad No human
agency broke it, Some mysterious, invisi-
BILE, and irresistible power snapped it at the
hilt. and the word went forth that the coun-
try was henceforth to have statesman, and
not soldier, for leader" Tremendous
cheering

The CALIFORNIA HARVEST. California is
outdoing herself in grain growing this year
From the California Farmer we quote as fol-
lows: -ags
1.-THE harvest season. for grain may now be
said to be in its zenith, and therefore farmers
are all in the harvest field; consequently
there cannot be expected a great rush of
wheat upon our wharyes or at our ware
houses yet. twill be observed, howevertha
our heavy operators in grain are spreading
out for more room, enlarging their borders.
and in many places in all our grain regions
large warehouses are being built, all indica.
tive Of consciousness of the immense crop
of grain now being harvested; and, large as
it may have been supposed to be, we are
now confident that it will surpass the very
largest calculations, for in our meeting with
the growers they freely admit that their crop
exceeds highest figures

Sept "A gentleman we'll and favorably
known to the public, and a republican in

He represents the tone and feeling Of the

sentiment of Tennessee.
In the latter State he says the ''ex-rebels"
are submissive, and disposed to abide by the
laws of the State, notwithstanding the laws
bear so heavily upon the matter of disfran-
chisement, ETC. The K K K, he says, is

bars intended corruptly to influence his
vote; he thought they had taken false
and erroneous view Of the subject, and were

zeal. He was asked about dining with the
Chief Justice, and he said he was the only
one Of the fourteen Senators reported, who
really dined with him on the occasion men,

the Chief Justice with reference to the re-
ported new party nor had the Chief JUS
tice ever attempt to influence his mind on
the subject Of impeachment; nor did he
bslisve the Chief Justice tried to influence
the mind Of any Senator in relation to Cab
met changes. He said, that in his judg
ment, too much Of the controversy between
Mr.. Johnson and Congress springs from the
advics Of an incompetent Cabinet, and that
the selection Of more able and less selfish
from either OF beth the parties would tend
u give pssse 10 the country, aud restore
confidence to business. He stated that no
assurance Of any character whatever had
been undoubtedly or indirectly-to him
by the President, or to any one else, 10 far

they could have no influence on his iudgss

VANITY.

The sun comes up and the sun goes down,
And the day and night are the same as one;
The year grows green and the year grows
brown,
And what is it all when all is done?
Grains of sombre or shining sand,
Sliding into and out of the hand.
And men go down in ships to the seas,
And hundred shios are the same as one,
And backward ana forward blows the
breeze,
Aud what is it all when all is done?
A tide with never shore in sight,
Setting steadily on to the night.
The fisherman droppeth his net in the
stream
And hundred streams are the same as
one;
And maiden dreameth her lovelit dream,
And what is it all when all is done?
The net of the fisher the burden breaks,
And after dreaming the dreamer wakes.
