How ACCOUNTED For. = Judge
Packer, the democratic candidate
for Governor of Pennsylvania is one
of the richest men in the State, said
to be worth over twenty millions,
yet somehow has always managed
to return little or no income-last
year but enough to yield $895 in
revenue. OF course men who are
rich very often do SO, and then to
cover up short conings they howl
louder than other people against
"these enormous taxations" During
the late canvass be was severely
criticised, not only by the republi-
cans but by his own party for not
paying his share Of the public debt
and thereby heaping the burthens
upon men honest enough to not
swear falsely to their incomes. His
party leaders managed to satisfy
some Of the party by saying that
the business of every democrat is to
avoid paying any part Of the war
debt, created for an unboly cause
and the oppression of our southern
friends" His defeat is considered
the triumph Of honesty over bad in
tentions, and of integrity over re-
pudiation. equal taxation" these
are the words which democrats pre-
tend to hold to, but which mean that
rich men like Packer are not to pay
any of the public debt-the poor all
of it.

The Old Democratic Leaders and Prac-
tice Revived-The Secret March.

At the late democratic county
convention held for nominating can
didates for Senator and School Su-
perintendent, a resolution was adopt
ed to make no nominations OF party
candidates. Yet at that convention
it was privately resolved to run ex-
Gov. Dewey as the democratlclc
candidate for Senator and Mr.. Hub
bard for experimentation to
announce themselves as independent
candidates. This is the programme
as announced by the Galena demo
cratic paper, and the same paper
avows as the object Of such action
the catching Of the several republic
an sore-hoad votes and those in their
charge.
This practice reminds us of that
foxy cunning Of the worst days OF
the reign of democracy in power,
when all party actions were taken in
secret by the few leaders and then
by intrigue driven through party
conventions. 1t shows return of
the foxy old leaders, after long alb
sence abroad with the copperhead
brigade.

Capt. Sylvester for the Assembly.

The legal, industrial and business
interests of Grant County are to be
truly and ably represented at Madi-
son in the next Legislature. Cap.
D. X. Sylvester, proprietor of the
Castle Rock and Boscobel Touring
mills, is nominated for the Assembly
to represent the north Assembly
District.
Capt. Sylvester has served as APP
prentice at more trades perhaps than
any man in the County, and has fol-
lowed greater diversity of pursuits.
We have known him as a mechanic,
farmer, miller, teamster, merchant,
soldier, Spectator, canal digger, road
overseer, politician and school teach
err, and in whatever service always
the gentleman and honorable man,
and in everything reasonably but not
richly successful. His varied ex-
pericnce qualities him we'll for q
practical Legislator or any other pub
lie position the people may assign to
him and in whatever trust he may
be placed he will never dishonor it,
as he would rather be right than
rich.

Wisconsin State Fair.

Last week we referred briefly to
the Sixteenth Annual Fair of the
Wisconsin State Agricultural Society,
in progress at that writing, on the
Society's Grounds, at Madison. We
are happy to say now that the pros
poets of success then apparent were
realized. The weather remained all
that could be wished until the close
of Thursday, and was not unpleas-
ant until Friday afternoon. The in-
dications, however, kept many from
the grounds on Friday, SO that the
aggregate attendance was not great
er than that of last year.
The receipts were about $500,
something less than those of last
year. This is partly explained by
the fact that the Life-membership fee
was raised from SO to $40, which
acted as an effectual check on re.
ceipts from this source. The mum
Der of entries was 3, 156, including
522 entries from KenoSha County
for prize for County Exhibition.
The number last year was 1,617.
Rather less attention was paid to
trials of speed of running and trot-
ting horses than last year, and the
attempt to create additional interest
in the Fair by Velocipede races and
Base Ball matches, was not success
full, there being no entries of the
former and little interest shown in
the latter. With the exception of
the class of disturbances incident to

Railroad Sappers, Scalpers and Peggers
Practical Facts Mitchelps Terms
The Senator.

Two years ago the voters of Paris
were slightly though not badly sold
by the humbug railroad practice of
the then democratic candidate for
Senator, or rather by his friends,
some of whom formed a brigade OF
sappers, barkers and peg settlers
along Platte river and other parts,
whose ob ject was to promise a rail,
road everywhere to everybody, pro-
vided Mr.. Seaton were elected Sena-
tor. DickeyvilIe was promised q
depot, Aroher's Ferry draw'bridge,
Potosi a depot and machine shops,
and Turkey river a blast furnace and
goose nest, provided they'd come
over and vote the democratic ticket.
The town of Harrison was also
slightly pegged and paper soied on
tho bogus railroad issues.
We think however that the sole
and best terms recently announced
by Alexander Mitchell, reSident of
the Milwaukee and St. Paul COM
pany will open the public eyes
Said he, grade and tie the roads and
build the bridges and our company
will probably iron, stock and run
them" And such are probably the
best terms to be had for one or more
railroads through Grant County
And in time doubtless the people
will be rich enough to comply with
Mitehell's terms. And as the whole
county is under favorable charter for
railroads ia all directions no further
legislation is required.
A recent decision Of the Supreme
Court disabIes counties from voting
aid to railroads, whatever the legis-
lature may authorize. So the entire
matter of aid for railroads is left
with the towns and citizens to be
directly benefited.

JEFF. DAVIS ON THE SITuATIoN.-A
W ashington dispatch says that JEFF
ferson Davis said to his admirers who
called on him in Baltimore, that he
had no interest whatever in political
affairs, and shall decline all CONVEX
sation in reference thereto during his
trip to Mississippi. He expressed
the hope that the liberal Conserva-
tive Republicans of the South, and
Democrats Of the. North would sue
coed in the fall elections. His esti-
mate of parties is that the Northern
Democrats represent what is left of
the principle of self-government, or
white mans government, while the
Conservative Republicans South rep
resent all that is left of the principles
in that section.

Seeding Apple Trees-Fal Transplant
ing-Directions

Opinions of experienced orchard
men are divided as to fall and spring
transplanting. We presume either
season will answer. Trees set in the
fall, however, should be we'll staked
to protect them against the wind,
the ground about them should be
well packed, and covered with o
mulch of stable straw and offal.
Many recommend burying trees,
top, body and root, during the win
ter. This practice is doubtless to be
preferred, though the like is imprac-
tical for large trees.
Many persons prefer large seed
ling trees for part or all their orch.
ards, when such can be had. The
nurserymen do not usually raise
Seeding trees for the market, there
being no profit in them and no regu-
lar demand.
In the long and interesting expe-
rience of the writer of this notice
every orchardist should set third
or q half Seeding trees, for these
reasons: They are cheaper than
gratis; half of them are as hardy as
the average CRAFTS, though not SO
hardy as the kinds now recommend
ed by the State Horticultural Socie-
ty; seedlings are generally surer
bearers than gratis, and say half or
three-fourths Of their fruit are equal
for cider and family use to the graft
ed kinds. Not to exceed fourth OF
the seeding kinds are barrens and
producers of fruit totally worthless
about fourth of your seedlings will
be greater and more uniform bearers
than your gratis. p.
AT the Lancaster nurseries the
proprietors are clearing out two
acres of very large Seeding apple
trees-being under contract to yield
possession of the ground this fall,
and are offering them at eight dol
lars per hundred. These trees are
nine or ten years old and many Of
them bearers of fruit this year as
we'll as last. This affords the best
and cheapest opportunity we have
ever known to make an orchard OF
trees large enough for bearing in a
year or two. Very true, it will re-
quire some considerable labor to do
SO, but taking into account the i'm
mediate increase of value to farm
property by such labor, there is no
outlay we can think of that would
pay so largely. One man may go to
the nursery and carry home say
twenty-five Of these trees, and the
same day set most of them. A week
so spent would provide large orch
ard, and add ten per cent. to the val,
ne of any farm-we mean that much
to the actual productive value, as an
orchard Of say $50 trees will produce
at least tenth part of the income
from any average farm.
Open air freezing of apple tree
roots is fatal to them-just as much
so as would be boiling degree o.
heat. Millions of trees have beer
lost from such cause, and every 9th
err fault assigned therefor Eastern
fall and spring transported trees are
usually injured by freezing, and nc
way to distinguish the damage til
they are set and found not to grow
Therefore, weather not too cold il
to be preferred for removing trees
from the nursery to the orchard
And pack in wet straw when loading
in at the nursery, to prevent thu
roots drying, with such precautions
and properly setting in the grounc
there is no danger Of losing q tree.
