The Brooke county Democrats, at
their Convention on Wednesday, Sep
tember 18th, re-nominated Hon. LEWIS
APPLEGATE fo1State Senator from this
district. Mr.. APPLEGATE has served
two years to the entire satisfaction of
his consti tuents. He has been faith
ful, hard working Senator, and his
record is without spot or blemish. We
doubt not that his nomination will be
promptly ratified by the Democrats Of
Ohio and Hancock counties, and that be
will be triumphantly elected.
JAMES HERvEY, ESQ.,, was renomi.
mated for the House of Delegates from
Brooke. This will be Mr.. HERvEY's
third term; the continued endorsement
of his constituents is the fairest evil
dence that they feel satisfied with his
attention to their interests. By the
way, we notice that Colonel N. WELLS,
announced as 8 Republican candidate
for the House, has retired from the track
since Mr.. HERvEY's denomination.

More Villainy.

There is more villsiny on foot among
the "loyap leaders and leagusrs OF
Virginia. The admission of the State
next Winter is to be deferred by fill
clustering until Congress adjourns; then
the carpet.baggers can retain their
offices for twelve months. We think
all decent Republicans, who read the
Virginia dispatch elsewhere printed,
ought to be proud of the capacity for
rascality displayed by their Virginia
allies. Negro association is honorable
compared with such companionship.

At a late meeting of the National
CAPITAL Executive Committee at st.
Louis, call for convention to be held
October 25th, was decided upon and will
be published in the prominent papers of
the country. The call after stating
that the Governors of all the States are
invited to attend, the committee says
that in case the Governors OF any OF
the State refuses to appoint delegates to
the Convention that delegates selected
by the Congressman of Congressional
District will be received as duly accred-
tied and admitted to seats in the Con-
Yention.

CuItsre OF BuI6s.

As the season for planting bulbs will
soon be upon us, we copy from Vick's
new catalogue of bulbs the following
general remarks on their culture:
The treatment Of bulbs is 80 simple
and the results 30 satisfactory, that it
seems exceeding strange that they are
not far more generally cultivated. Any
fair garden soil will grow bulbs well;
but it must be we'll drained, 80 that the
water will not lie on the surface for any
length of time, or the bulbs will be like
ly to rot. If the soil is poor, enrich 1t
with well-rotted stable manure, or with
surface earth from the woods. Cow ma
nure is excellent for bulbs. Manure
should be mixed thoroughly with the
soil; and if the soil is stiff and the ma
nure fresh, it is well to put little sand
around each bulb at planting.
The soil for bulbs should be dug deep;
and if stiff from too much clay, an ad-
dition of leaf-mold scraped from the
woods, or liberal dressing of sand will
be of great benefit. A free use of COW
manure and sand will always produce
good flowers. The most important point
of all, however, through drainage; and
if this is not neglected, success is almost
certain. After planting, and before
winter sets la, cover the beds with a
good dressing of leaves-say five or six
inches in depth, or moro. Over these
throw a little brush or boards, to pre-
vent blowing off. If the leaves cannot
be obtained readily, coarse manure will
answer. In the spring, as soon as hard
frosts are over, rake off the covering.
Nothing more is required, except to
destroy the weeds as fast as they ap-
pear.
As q general rule, beds should be made
so narrow that the weeds can be de-
stroyed and the ground kept mellow
without walking among the plants.
Any breaking or wounding of the leaves
causes injury to the bulbs, but the
flowers can be cat at pleasure, and
all should be removed as soon as they
fade.
If the simple directions we have
given are followed, and good bulbs
planted, the cultivator will not only
succeed, but will be astonished at
the results of little labor and ex'
pense.

Reduciug the Debt.

In recent article upon the alleged
reduction of the national debt, the New
York Tribune asserts that "the expendi-
lures of the Government for the last
fiscal year, were s4s5, 100000 less than
the year before" To this statement the
Journal of Commerce replies: "On page
25 of the Report on Finances, the ex-
penditures for the year before, 1. 6. 1865,
apart from the changes in the princi-
pal of the debt, are officially
given at 1877 ,34O, ,2S4.s6, as follows:
Civil service, S6O,O11, ,O1S.61; Pen
slons and Indians, sH. 1888, ,O69.lO; War
Department, 1923, ,246,64S.62; Navy De-
partment, s25, ,775, ,5O2.72; Interest on the
public debt, S14O, ,424, ,O45.7l: total expen-
ditures of government, s377 BAG, ,2S4.56.
To have been four hundred and eighty
five millions less than the year above
given, the expenses for the year ending
Jun 30, 1869, must have been sl07 $685.
l5.l4 less than nothing C), a condition
OF things we hould hardly accept as
true on less reas sible authority"
