This gives Walker clear majority Of rs
in the city; add to this his ma jority of 1S5 in
Henrico, and we find that our ticket has
been carried in the district by an excess OF
262 votes.
Henrico has done nobly. Having in 1867
a majority Of 800 negro votes, she was
tackled on to Richmond to overcome the
white majority in this city. BY the last
registration the negro excess was reduced
TO about three hundred, and now we lind
that she gives majority of nearly two hum
drcd white votes, thereby redeeming the
capital, and making sure the election of
eleven Conservative members OF the Cen
eral Assembly. No county in the State has
done better; none is entitled to more hon
orabe mention.
There is little variation in the vote for the
Conservative candidates for the Legislature.
The people generally, so far as the Legisla-
turc was concerned, voted the straight
ticket; but one gentleman will fall little
behind his ticket, owing to somebody's I'M
accountably circulating limitations of the
Conservative ticket with his name left Off.
Scgar's vote is well up. Porter is proba-
hly elected by small majority. General
Milford and Fields Cook each get 4 light
vote. Humicutt, the regular Conservative
candidate, seems to have been defeated by
disScnsion among the Walker men and the
bringing Of independent candidates into the
neld.
What the exact vote for and against the
constitution and for the candidates is will
not be known for day or two.

rapidly aud are very voraciOus, destroying
everything in their way. For miles the
track Of the railroad is black with these
destroying insects, the ties and rails being
hidden from view by the thousands p0Tched
thereon. salt Lake City has been cleared
Of vegetation before by these pests, and in
each case the countless hosts have made
their first appearance to tn, north and vest
Of the city, devastating their fields and gar
dens when passing through on their way to
the south and westward, Two years since,
such scourge swept over the city, destroy.
ing every green thing, even 10 the growth Of
wood and vine ofthe previous season. Mil
lions Of the insects persisted in the lake, for
it seems that nothing turns them when on
their destroying march. In n day the beau.
tful gardens and orchards Of the city were
left as bare of yerdure as though a fire had
swept over them. From the account given
us, It appears that the city will again be
visited by this scourge. We learn that this
scourge, which passed over Salt Lake two
years since, continued its march and the
following season made an appearance IN the
lower end OF the Great Basin, where the
scenes of the previous year were re enacted.
This season the hordes have appeared in the
extreme southern Mormon settlements,
where they are destroying everything before
them, They are now some five hundred
miles from Salt Lake, the localities over
which they passed having had one years
respite from their ravages. II seems that
when these insects reach maturity they de
post their eggs IN the soil and die, The
following season the eggs ard Matched by
the warmth Of the spring, and a new army
follows on its march.

WALTHAM
WAT che
To Buyers Of Watches Everywhere.

The greater part Of tho jewellers Of the United
States keep Wahham Watches and cordially re-
commend them to their customers, uotwithstand.
ing the fact that iess profit is made on these
watches than on any others generally sold by the
trade. The reason Of this is, that the reputa.
ton Of the Waltham Watch renders it an easy
sale, and the result is that, although the dealer
does not make as much money on each indvi-
dual watch as he may on the sale Of other watch
es he is still the gaIner through larger and live
Her sales. ThgTe are some, however, among the
trade, who do not give the Waltham Watch that
hearty support whichit deserves. This portion
portion Of the trade fancy there is moro money
to be made by dealing in watches about which
the public arc ignorant, and IN which there is
less competition, End are content to make an
occasional sale Of such watches at large profit
1t is this class Of dealers who, when asked about
WaItham Watches, use that kind of language
which leads the customer finally to buy just such
a watch As is the most profitable for the dealer
