u The proposal to change Democratic condi-
dates, reminds one of an incident of the war
The coniederates attempted to change command
ers ut Donelson, when Grant had carried the
outer lines, and made his famous proposal to
" move ON their works. Pillow turned the
command over to Buckner, who Immediately sur
rendered. In the late elections Grant has again
stormed the outer worksof the enemy, and again
they propose to change commanders 1t of course
makes no difference with the final result, but,
looking at the subject in the light of the past, one
would suppose they would hardly care to make
the parallel perfect

The open treas IN of the World has for the mo-
mont produced Generalization, to limited extent,
in the democratic ranks But this is not its worst
effect. That is an evil from which we shall re-
cover. We are the party Of the country, and
must live as long as the country lives. This is
not our last battle, but only one Of a series, by
which the republic is finally TO be redeemed.
From our momentary depression we shall rise re-
newed in spirit aud inygorated for action. But

About n Western senator.

Mr.. Drake of Missouri attracted considera-
BILE attention to himself the other day by the
irascible manner in which he objected to the
ruling of Chief Justice Chase. A st. Louis
correspondent of the Springfield Republican
gives the following account of him:
Our Senator Drake has done something. or
quite as like neglected to do something, that
has provoked not very fattering Photograph
from "Mack" in the Cincinnati Commercial
He certainly draws the lineaments rather
roughly. The Senator's personal appearance
he describes as that of a crooked little man
OF nearly fifty, with closely cut, grayish beard,
and short, dark, curly hair, a low forehead,
sharp nose, and pair of deeply sunken gray
eyes; his voice loud, harsh and unpleasant,
and manner of address demonstrative and
gesticulatory;" which is little better than
caricature. Though the man might be
recognized in this portrait, yet Senator
Drake has nevertheless very respectable and
even comely personal appearance, wherever
you may put HIM, whether on the stump, at
the bar, or front of pulpit. His voice, L
am glad to say, is loud and even harsh. 1t
rang like clarion through the Camp Jack
son groves during the war, AMI it mattered
little if street car did pass when he was
speaking from the courthouse steps. No
favors were asked of the car. 1t is to be
hoped he will not let any soft Washington
arts tone it down to a soft parlor pitch, as we
shall soon want voice again that can talk
across courthouse square. A low voice is a
very sweet thing in a woman, but Tor west
ern campaigning it don't exactly suit the no.
tions OF the crowd. But l wish TO rotice
particularly Mack's criticism of brakes past
political record, which is rightly called re-
markable. In the Democratic party of Mis-
souri, in 1860, he was border ruflian; in
the radical party of 1868 he is yelling rad
zeal" his conversion being 'coincldent with
the Federal occupation of st. Louis" All
TINS is very true. Mr.. Drake does not pre-
tend that his record prior to 1860 is consist
ent with his present position. And as it is
impossible to reconcile the tive, we must re-
sort to some extraordinary explanation.

after. Probably no man ever exoended 50
much time and labor in improving this yec-
etable as this gentleman, and cultivators owe
him a great debt of gratitude.
Not more than six v,reties out of some
sixteen thousand produced from the seed
have been considered worthy of cultivation.
This shows there is much uncertainty of seed
producing even as good as its present kind.
Let it be borne IN mind by our farmers that
the purity of seed is only retaina ed by wise
selection, careful culture, perfect maturity
and freedom from any admixture of other
foreign seed. Attention to these matters
cannot fail of good results. Soil and climate
nave their influence on all seeds and plantA'
certain soils on the Island of Cuba give great
value to the tobacco plant while the soil of a
not very distant field produces no such good
eneet. 1t is so in Virginia and other tobacco
raising States.
10 sum all up in a few words it becomes
the iarmer who would improve his culture
ana reap the greatest benefits from his toll.
to plant only the best seed, and use much
care in growing and saving the seed. By i'm
proving his crops he improves the quality of
his seed and thereby advances the prosperity
OF his business. In closing we say to the
farmer, "Trust in God and plant the best
seed" OF in the words of.a devout poet,
Fling with masters hand the seed
Broadcast with iaith Ger hill and plain,
fof God the harvest time shall SD. cd,
And ripen all his golden grain.'

The British sEInistry-DeeisIOn of the
United States Supreme COurt-The
President ana the Tenure of Office
Act, etc.
NEW YORK, Feb. 1.-THE Times saws
that the name Of Gen. Mcclellan il prom
inently mentioned as the successor Of Chas.
Francis Adams, at the Court of St. James.
The Times special says that the decision
in the Georgia and Mississippi cases, given
yesterday, is held by leading Republicans
as 3 disposition of the McCardle case and
all Others which affect the reconstruction
laws, or those that may arise under them.
The best of lawyers in the House were
free in this assent. 1t has settled all ques-
tions as 10 the attitude Of the Supreme
Court for the present and in prospective
toward the reconstruction acts, and no dan
ger need be apprehended from that source.
The came special states that the Presi-
dents rejoinder to Gen. Grant, reached the
army headquarters to-day, and it is under
stood that the President declines to make it
public, but in answer to resolution which
passed the House this afternoon, the letter
will be read tomorrow after the morning
hour.
The Herald's dispatch says that upon
examination of the Worlds correspondent
the fact has been developed that the Pres
ident had assured him that he had prom
lsed Gen. Grant to assume all responsibility
for the violation of the tenure law act.
In the case of the restoration of Mr..
Stanton, Gen. Grant appears tomorrow be-
fore the Commission.
The Tri6une's special states that the
President contemplates offering the mission
to England to Gen. Mcclellan.
Official letters from Madrid, show a
misunderstanding between Mr.. Hall, Min
lister to Spain and the Secretary obligation,
Mr.. Perry, said the former will come home
unless Mr.. Perry is recalled.
The same special says the House com
mittee on appropriations, reconsidered the
action on the consular and diplomatic bill,
and resolved TO report it substantially as it
passed last year. Appropriation for
Greek mission has been stricken ont, but
II IL understood that Mr.. Butler, when the
bill reaches the House, will move to sub
stltute Greece for Enqador. The COM
mittee will offer no opposition, and it
ia thought will pass.
The Worlds Montgomery special SAYS
A defeat of the constitution was admitted
to by the Radical candidates; vote less
than required half variously estimated at
from ten to twenty-three thousand white
vote so far does not exceed one to every
one hundred and fifty negroes.
