Mineral Couniy-An Excellent Ticket.

/ Mineral Couniy-An Excellent Ticket.
The Democrats and Conservatives of
Mineral county held their Convention
at New Greek, last Thursday, and nom-
mated their ticket. In addition to the
Convention proper, there was Mass
Meeting of large proportions. Aspecial
train was run from Piedmont, taking
down q great crowd and fine Brass
Band. IN. CAMDEN, Esq, Col. d. d.
JOHNSON, BEN. WILSON, Esq, and JAS.
PER NEEDHAM, of Ohio, made speeches.
1t is believed that much good was ac-
complished by the meeting and speeches.
JOHN T. VANCE was nominated for
the House of Delegates. His Radical
competitor is Tom. CARsCADoN. G. A.
TUCKER was nominated for Prosecuting
Attorney, and FRANK ALLEN for Re-
corder.
The county is a close one, and our
friends there must make up their minds
that to carry it will require great labor
and the utmost vigilance. Hard and
judicious work on the part of all the
Democrats and Conservatives will give
us victory.
A Senatorial Convention, composed of
Delegates from the counties of Hanp-
shire, Morgan, Mineral, Hardy, Grant
and Pendleton, was held at the same
time and place. Capt. HENRY G. DA-
Wis, of Mineral, was unanimously nomi-
mated for this position. His Radical
competitor is ELIJAH DOLLY, of the
same county. If the people of that Dis
trict consult their own interests in any
particular, there is no question as to
the result. Each of these gentlemen
were, on former occasion, members of
the Legislature of this State, and their
relative abilities as business men ami
legislators, is pretty well known. When
we state that Mr.. DOLLY won the not
altogether desirable reputation of being
the weakest member who ever held a
seat in that not remarkably talented
body, we simply report local historical
fact; while Capt. DAVIS is known from
one end of this State to the other as one
of West Yirginia's best and most active
business men. He is man of large ex-
perieuce, extensive and varied informa-
tion, decided ability, pleasing in man
ners, and hospitable as real old Vir-
ginia gentleman.
With fair expression of the honest
sentiments of the people of the Tenth
Senatorial District, Capt. DAVIS would
receive three votes to ELIJAH DoLLY'S

TIE Radical journals boast that their
party was never so thoroughly organ
lied, and that they have an abundance
of money for campaign purposes. We
do not feel disposed to dispute either as
sertion, but we know thing worth two
of that. The campaign document OF
the Democrats has been before the peo-
pie for three years past. They learned
to ok.ow all about the frauds, corruption,
extravagance, tyranny and oppression
of the Radicals while reading the pro
ceedings of Congress, and the frequent
visit of the ax-gatherer, the high prices
of food and rent, have long since con-
WINGED them that change Of rulers is
demanded and that they are the agency
through which this change is to be eff
feeted.

A NEGRO military company, armed
with loaded muskets, marched through
the streets of Washington, and, with
out cause, fred into q crowd upon the
sidewalk. A negro procession of GRANT
men marched through the streets of
Atlanta and wound up their entertain
ment by brutally attacking white po-
licemea who were endeavoring to keep
the peace during the drunken orgies OF
the colored Radicals. The Radical
journals are all silent in reference to
these outrsges. They don't like to hurt
the feelings of their colored allies by
densuncing their crimes upon public
order. Everything o negro does, is, in
their eyes, right and proper. Bnt what

Wnsfe OF seed Whcnt.

1t is estimated by the Department OF
Agriculture that ten million bushels of
wheat are wasted annually in this
country by bad sowing. II this be cor
rect there is loss of sufficient grain to
bread at least FIVE hundred thousand
families. This waste arises from SOW
ing too deep, too shallow, too heavy or
light, and too uneven. If ground is
plowed up rough, and the seed applied
to il in that state, a good portion of the
grain is covered too deep. If the soil is
dragged down smooth and mellow, and
the grain buried by the harrow there
will be a loss from too shallow covering.
Then 1t appears that the best mode TO
be adopted is to put the ground into
good condition, aud SOW with the drill,
or use the cultivatOr to cover.
The amonnt of grain suitable to be
used upon one piece Of land, might not
be at all appropriate for another, the
strength and condition Of the soil must
in all cases be taken into consideration
If the field is Of clay, rough and lnmpy,
more seed will be required than upen
mellow well fitted piece, aid strong
land will mature a much heavier growth,
of course, than that which is compare
lively poor.
AT harvest time the result Of heavy,
light and uneven seeding can be plainly
seen. Where too thin, the growth Of
straw will be large, the heads long,
and the kernels plump, but the yield
light, for the soil did not have . chance
to produce more than One-third the
amount it was capable of doing.
Where the seeding was too heavy,
the straw is abundant, but the grain
heads are short, not well filled and the
crop light. Where uneven sowing is
done the quality Of grain will be varied
as the cases above mentioned.
Thorough ditching is another impor-
tant thing to be observed in wheat
growing; surface water should never be
allowed to stand upon field, not even
for day, for wherever plant Ii allow
ed to be flooded at each heavy rain, no
grain will be found at harvest time

Wool Prospects.

During the late exhibition we con-
versed with several prominent manu-
facturers and wool dealers concerning
the future of wool. The impression
seemed to be general that prices had
touched bottom" and that the ten
dency was and would continue to be up
ward. There are many well informed
men that predict that wool will reach
so cents per pound before the first day
of January next. The present advance
would indicate that such may be the
case.-Prdirie Farmer.

Curiin ON Seymour.

Governor CURTIN, of Pennsylvania, a
life long and very disreputable Radical,
in reply to some queries, speaks in the
following grand manner of Governor
SEYMOUR:
He replied: "Well. sir, if were asked
to mention a man who, in my estima-
ton, possessed the attributes of per-
feet gentleman, u cultivated scholar, a
thorough statesman and a siucee Chris
tian, / would, without hesitation, name
Heratio Seymour, of New York" GLOW
about Seymour's loyalty" .After the
dispatches that sent Seymour at the
time of the rebel raid into Pennsyl-
vania," replied the Governor, "it would
hardly become me to impugn his loyalty;
the fact is, have never doubted 1T. |
understand that Belmont is having all
the dispatches sent by Stanton and
myself printed, and l have no doubt
they will be in the hands of every
Democratic stump speaker through the
campaign. We had better give up at
tacking S'ymour's loyalty, for the op-
position hold the trump card in that
matter"
This is certainly high praise from an
old Abolitionist such as CURTIN.

The New YORK tribune mas w aSn'
ington correspondent who recently
wrote from that city, rather exultantly
that "the Republican Committee are
sending our documents at the rate OF
more than 100000 per week" The
New York Express, in noticing this little
enterprise, says, with great truth, that
everywhere, OH every side, in every
home and household, is a Democratic
argument-such as
The double price of tea.
The triple price of sugar.
The double price Of clothing.
The velocity and volume with which
property in almost every part of the
country is running from the poor to the
rich, in consequence of the iniquity
and injustice of taxation.
The destruction of our foreign com
mercial marine.
The banishment of all gold and silver
as coin, and the universally of paper.
The downfall Of the Constitution
everywhere.
The substitution of consolidated fol
federal form of government.
The overthrow of the right of trial BY
jury, AID of the habeas corpus among
10 ,OO0, 900 of our people.
The subjugation of eight millions o.
white men in the South to three or foul
millions of negroes.
The reign of carpet -saggers in Con
gress generally runaways from th'
North), assuming to represent th'
whites and negroes in the South.
All these are Democratic argument!
in every mans mouth, and are present
more or less, everywhere, in every hense
cottage, and cabin.

An Honest Verdict.

Again Democratic jury of Sandusky
county, has given an impartial and hon
est verdict in the Reese case. Mr.. Reese,
as most of our readers know, is a citi-
zen of this place; and belongs to the
visible admixture" class. This is the
second time he has sued the Democratic
Election Board Of this Townshsp for re-
fusing to receiving his vote, and each
time has received verdict in his favor
each time the jury being composed
largely of Democrats. The Jurymen
are honest men, who have not allowed
their political opinions TO warp their
judgments in deciding the case accord
ing to the law and evidence. Mr.. Reese
did not want damages-merely YER
dict deciding that the Trustees acted
illegally in refusing his ballot. The
jury returned nominal damages, $50 cts)
and the costs of the suit are thus thrown
on the individuals who composed the
Election Board.

Alabama Election.

The Secretary of the Republican Con
gressional Executive Committee has
received telegram from Alabama Civ
ing unofficial returns from all but four
teen counties of that State, expressing
the belief that the new Constitution
has, after all, been ratified by small
majority. Over 400 votes are thus far
reported against its adoption.
The Montgomery Sentinel says that
on the last day of the election in that
county, unusual obstacles were thrown
in the way of voters to prevent their ex-
ercising their rights, so that hundreds
were unable to vote. When the polls
closed there were probably two hundred
freedmen near the ballot boxes, await
ing to put in their ballots. In Sumter,
on Wednesday night, the rebels broke
into the room where were deposited the
ballot boxes, and destroyed them, and
also the ballots cast during the first two
days in that county. In addition to
this, the Sentinel says that at least twen-
ty thousand freedmen were kept away
from the polls by their rebel employ
ers.
Congress has taken the matter in
hand, and proposes to readmit Alabama
into the. Union, and we hope soon to
see her Senators and Representatives
in their seats in the halls of the capitol.
