Increased Amount of Wheat
SOWn.

SOWm.
The June report of the Department oi
Agriculture says that an increase of aver
age in Wheat sown for the present crop
is reported from nearly every State. Ohio
shows an increase of 5 per cent, over last
year, Illinois % per cent, Missouri so,
Kansas 25, Michigan II, Iowa IL, Mime
sofa %, New York 5, Pennsylvania 8, New
Jersey 8, Maine %, Vermont 16, Maryland
9. Virginia IL, N. Carolina 81, Georgia IL,
Alabama 10, Mississippi So, Arkansas 81
Tennessee 40, West Virginia 80. Texas
shows decrease of 6 per cent, and Ken
lucky of 1 per cent.
An analysis of these averages will show
a general average of about eleven per cent
increase in fall sowing, and twenty-eight
per cent. in breadth of spring wheat; alto
gether, an increase Of eighteen to twenty
Der cent, in the aggregate number of acres
in wIeat.
Reports Of condition for June are gener-
allv very favorable, and the promise Of the
best crop ever known is held out by local
correspondents.

The Roman Catholic Question.
Of all the evils which threaten this
country, It is manifest to all who have
given the subject that attention which its
Importance demands, that the most potent
among them is the approaching ascendan-
cy of the Roman Catholic Church. To
very many persons of intelligence, this
appears altogether idle speculation, and
the attention of all such is invited to the
following statistical facts, with regard to
Ecclesiastical denominations.
According to the report Of Rev. Henry
B. Smith, D. D., of the Union Theological
Seminary of New York, to the Evangeli-
cal Alliance at Amsterdam in 1867, the
number of Churches and Communicates
in the United States were as follows;

IT Is understood that another effort
will be made to-day to call up and pass
in the House of Delegates the bill to 10.
cate the Capital permanently at Buck
hannOn; and we hear that the friends
of that point express confidence of sue
cess. What reasons, il any, have trans
pired since Friday last to change the
vote of any member on this bill we do
not know.
The propositions of the various COM
petiug points have been pretty tho
roughly canvassed, both in the Legis-
lature and out of it. We believe truly
that no one OF them so much commends
itself to the favor ofdisinlerested people
in all parts of the State as that made
by the citizens of Wheeling. All the
others contemplate that the State shall
proceed directly TO the erection of a
capitol, at a cost which may be more
and may be less, but which is very sure
to be heavy before the work is finished,
Judging from presidents in similar
cases. 1t is safe to say that any of the
donations offered would be but a small
installment of the expense. The cfti-
Zens of Wheeling on the other hand
offer to provides capitol and furnish it
free of cost TO the State for ten years to
come; at the end of which time thew in
common with the rest of our people
would expect that location could
be made with more assurance of
permanency than one made now, and
that Il more creditable building could
be erected and with less burden to the
taxable property of the State than at
the present time.
But suppose it is claimed that it is
not contemplated to build directly,
but only to fix the point where the
building shall finally be done. Then
we say this: If the building of n cap
itol is not directly to follow a perma-
nent location, why dix upon the place
at all so long in advance, when before
the building could be erected the i'm
propriety of the location might become
so apparent as TO compel a change.
Why not leave it open AS an acceptance
of the Wheeling proposal would, SO
that If we were ready to build CAPITOL
at the end of the ten years we could &C.
lect point intelligently and without
embarrassment.
Some of the reasons why the State
should not undertake to build capt.
toll now may be enumerated as follows:
1. It is rendered unnecessary by
the Wheeling proposition.
II. The Wheeling proposition will
for ten years remove from the Legisla-
ture the subject of the Capital, and do
away with the evil influence 1t has on
other legislation. The permanent To-
cation of the Capital now can not do as
much, for the unequal development of
the State would, in less than ten years.

islnture, as in so many instances-in

THE HERALD OF HEALTH.-This
journal for February has a variety of
interesting articles. One that will at
tract attention is by Mrs. f. Cakes
Smith, and is entitled "Choosing a
Husband" the argument of which is
that "a woman has right to choose
her husband, just as much SO as a man
has to choose wife," Mrs. Smith saws:

In the shape of concealed emotions, and
that resolve to die rather than expose

very little OF ii occurs in real life. True.

hereafter be carried on under their

them have been pleasant, and in taking
leave of them cannot fail to express
my good wishes for their abundant
prosperity.
1 need not assure the readers of the
1STELLIGESCER that sever my long
standing relations toward them with
regret. On an occasion like this nat
ursIly revert tc other days when a very
different state ofthings surrounded the
publication Of this paper. Almost with
out acquaintance and with scarce other
resources than desire and earnest
purpose to labor and succeed, Mr.. John
+. McDermot and myself undertook to
publish journal upon the basis of
liberal political principles. I do not
propose to recount our experience.
Suffice it that we encountered the diff
cullies that naturally attended such an
enterprise in the days OF the old pro-
slavery regime. Perhaps / may say
that the experiment was saved from
failure at one time by the timely loan
of few hundred dollars, and kept

have elapsed since then I cannot but
congratulate those who wero the
friends and patrons of the IHTELr1-

cipleS which at that day could scarce
be uttered above a whisper. I have
the faith to believe that the triumph
of those principles will not be turned
TO ashes, like Dead Sea apples, in the

but that wisdom, moderation and
craftsmanship will so rule and control
