The election to-day passed off very
quietly with the exception of some
rather sharp talk, and the challenging
ola few voters, and wound up at
night with the nice little Democrat
majority of sixty. A gain of eleven
over our majority of last fall, if they
have done as well all over the State,
Pendleton is elected sure. -: >-a--

California Fruits not Expected to Com
pete with Eastern Growers
A new association has been called together
III San Francisco, for the purpose of collect
ing and dilfusing general information in re-
gard to the fruit itself and the fruit business
of California, and the new relations of Cali
lornians with the East. At their first meet
ing, held on the 10th inst, delegates from all
the principal fruit growing counties were
present. S. W. Shaw, Esq, of Sonoma
county, was elected president, who spoke as
follows:
''The convention had been called for the
purpose of consulting upon subjects that
were Of vital interest to the ruit-growers of
the State and to take measures TO secure
such reduction Of the price OF freight as
would enable them to send fruit to the Eas-
tern States.
\ San Francisco correspondent writes
sit was intimated, during the morning
session, that President Stanford, of the Cen
trail Pacific railroad, had distinctly stated
that they would shortly carry such freight
at the rate of five cents a pound, or 300 u
ton, to St. Louis and Chicago. The present
rate is about l2l cents.
"There was considerable discussion on
the kind of fruit which would pay to ship
East. The following fruits-all abundant
here, more especially the five first named
varietes-were strongly recommended I;
Apricots, (Which have sold retail at 5pounds
for % cents during the last few weeks. nee
tarines, plums, figs, oranges, pears, cher
ries, currants and ounces. Our peaches,
though quite abundant, arc not so strong a

flowers, and other vegetables, would proba-
bly, pay to forward.
Grapes deserve separate paragraph. We
could send them not only lar earlier to mar
ket than they can be obtained in the East,
but far later also. With little extra care
and protection, am correct in stating that
certain varieties might be kept on the vines,
and supplied to the Eastern consumer far
into January, or even later. | have FIRE.
quently eaten straw berries and green peas
here, grown in the open all, without forcing
in November. They are of course, at sucl
times comparatively expensive. In seyera
southern counties there are annually two
crops of green figs. Reproduction of fruit
in California has been limited hitherto by
the want of sufficiently profitable and eX
tensiye market"
The most interesting feature Of the meet
ing to the fruit growers in Maryland, Della
ware and Virginia will be found in the fol
lowing
''The third resolution adopted at the meet
ing stated that I'VE do not expect such re
duction in the price Of freights as will ena
bic us to place our fruit in market in compe
tition with Eastern growers, but owing Il
our peculiar climate, such reduction a
will enable us to anticipate them, and thu
greatly prolong tho fruit season to the con
sumner.
The convention was called together agai
on the 10th, and an arrangement made Wit

Nor PolsoNous.-Mr. VIM. Fairbanks o.
St. Johnsbury, Vt, having sent specimen
OF the weed found in the hay grown on many
Connecticut Valley farms, and known as
Fox tail, or Colts tail, for analysis as to
its chemilal qualities, to the State Assayer
of Massachusetts, Mr.. S. d. Hayes, he has
received reply that Extensive chemical an
alysis failed to eliminate any unknown pois-
on, or dangerous vegetable alkaloid. A larg-
CT portion Of the weed was then carefully
extracted, and series Of experiments made
with tie extract obtained. This has no more
medical effect upon dogs and human being.
than the same portion of extract from Eng.
fish hay, and is NOS poisonous. l consider
that these results establish as satisfactorily
as it is possible that the weed is not poison.

TIE WESTERN CRops.-The Cincinnati
Gd.etts says that from all sections of coun-

regard TO crops, while almost universally the
most favorable reports are received. Ii is
safe to say that the largest and best crop OF
wheat ever grown in that section is now be-
Ing secured, and that ON the first of Septem-
Der there will be greater number of bush
els on hand in Ohio, Kentucky and Indiana
than at any former period. Other crops alsc
promise well, and the great staple, corn,
which was planted late, and is behind, is

THE WASHINGTON LOBBY AND CoNGREs.,.
Mr.. Parton, in his lively article in the At
ldntic Monthly on the s'Strikers' of the
Washington Lobby, thus speaks of the
House of Representatives
Il lived three weeks among them, some
time ago, and they appeared to my imper-
feet vision labolious, able, and respectable
body of men, intent on deing the best they
could for the country. Congress, being COM
posed of mortals, has its faults and its fol-
bles it has its weak members and its weak
moments there is need of some changes in
the system by which business is carried on
But | do not believe that Congress is, in any
proper sense Of the word, corrupt body /;
nor do | believe there is in the world ma
tional legislature more pure, more patriotic,
or containing greater mass of ability.
In commenting upon this, the Worcester
Spy, edited by an exmembcr of Congress,
says
SIN our judgment, nothing can be more
false than the representations sometimes
heard, that votes of members Of Congress
are bought and sold by the lobby. We do
not believe that, during the last six wears,
there can have been three men in the House
whom any lobbyist dare to approach with n
view to buying their votes nor have we
years previous to this time. Even the least
immaculate members would shrink, with o
SHOW of Indignation, from listening to any
proposition Of that kind, for they understand
very well that it is not Washington Gus
tom, and that, nowhere in The country,
would such corruption be subiectclto stern
er reprobation than in the House itself. VIZ
arc sure that no members vote was bought
with money for any purpose whatever, dur.
ing the time We have mentioned, nor thai
any members vote was controlled in any
way by influences from the lobby
This is certainly strong testimony, and il
will be very gratifying to the people Ill large
The theory Of the writer's of both the OK
tracts above is,that the lobbyists are set @
swinders, who deceive their employers will
false professions Of their influence with tn
members and their control over legislation
We trust that this view is substantially rich
but now that Mr.. Parton has given an i'm
pulse to investigation in this direction, W
hope 1t will be prosecuted till tie wlol
truth is established. II IS desirable not onl
that the good name Of Congress should /,
yindicated, but that those who may be in
terested in measures Of public utility shnul
not waste their money on gang Of Ivpo
