A CARD.

As there is misapprehension in regard to
my vote ON Thursday evening last, at the Sena-
torial caucus, / viii say that cast blank vote
purposely, and as had before intended to do,
intending that II should count for neither party;
and had communicated my purpose to uprom-
inent gyntlcman of the highest respectabiity,
whose name will give if desired. -...,,...
Ii Is true that In the excitement and confG-
sion, AFTER the statement Of the vote, to avoid
being dragged before the caucus, said that l
intended TO vote for Mr.. Morrill,, but | hardly
knew what said. yOted rs had previously
detcrmined--in blank.
Before the September election, hail given a
statement in writing to persons outside OF my
representative district, that, in my opinion, Mr.
Morrill, should be returned, and If permitted to
do AZ, would use my influence for him. After
asccrtalning the views IL my constituents, L
found their desire was that Mr.. Hamlin should
be clectcI senator. | did not wish to act against
the wishes Of my constituents and wanted 1t
possible to act consistent with my pledge, there
fore 1 inside up my mind to vote for neither
candidate. My fault was in saying ON the eve
of the caucus, that i intended to vote for Mr.,
morrill,. That was not an untruth, for did
once 80 intend. II was simply an evasion and
ought TO have explained IL on the spot, but the
excitement, confusion, and my dilh1ence were
50 great that / lost the favorable opportunity.

THE YOUNG.DANA AFFAIR.

A New York correspondent of the
Chicago EceaiRg Journal relates the
following gossip concerning John Rus
sell Young. late managing editor OF the
New York Tribune, and Chas. A. Dana,
editor of the New York Sun:
Only few evenings since / met Mes
srs. Dana and Young, at dinner party,
where they pleasantly conyersed for
half an hour, and were then seated Ufs-
d-riS at the table. To-day, / suppose,
there are not two more implacable enc
mics in the country. Young regards
Dana as the architect of his ruin, while
Dana looks upon Young as an upprinci-
pied fellow, who has been endeavoring
TO injure him for long time. With
scarce All exception. the newspaper men
here express surprise that he should
have been retained on the Tribune an
hour after the exposure was made. The
truth is, however, Greeley would have
busted him iastanter had his offenses
not been brought to his attention by
Dana. Had any one but Dana made the
exposure. Young would have been fur
nished his walking papers forthwith.
Jay Cooke & Co., who have always been
friendly disposed toward Young, and
who have constantly been the recipient
of journalistic favors at his hands, have
rendered him the position of their
European financial agent. Dana says
that Young wrote him note few days
since, offering to withdraw his libel suit
against him on certains conditions. OF
cOurst this suit viii never be heard OF
again. Younghas resorted to all man
ner of means to be noticed in the papers
means which have disgusted alI
brought in contact with him. He Is now
being noticed good deal more than he
bargained for. Is has been to me and
other journalists here Q mystery how the
out-of-town papers could discover any
palliatlng circumstances in Young'a
conduct. This bout with the Tribune
/ has materially added to the Sans cir
| cuiation. Last week il had increased to
90 900 copies daily. Dana has certainly
had q remarkable success in changing
Democratic into q Republican news
paper without the subscribers know.

4 TIE III REST POTATOES

What are the best kinds of potatoes?
ia question we hear very often asked.
For early potatoes, of all that have been
thoroughly tested in Wisconsin, think
EARLY Goodrich and Early York stand
at the head of the list. 1t is very likely
the Early Rose will take the frst place
after IL Shall have been tried. lt has
not yet been in the market Cor con-
sumption long enough TO determine its
value for table potato. That 1t Is
enormous to. yield, and natures very
early, all can attest who have tried them
The Early Goodrich was. until last sea-
son; called a first rate potato but last
year 1t failed almost everywhere to give
satisfaction as q table potato. have
above is my experience. The. great
question to settle is, Is the fault alto
gether in the potato, or may not the pc
cIiliar, hot season last year have some
thing to do with II? understand very
hot, dry weather Is not fay oFable to tie.
potato after the tubers are set, until
they are fully ripened. Last year, IS
never before. il. my recollection. the hot
weather RECOMMENDED just az the tubefs
Aof the Early Goodrich began TO set, and
continued hotter and hotter, until the
vines were dead: am not willing to
give mp so good 8 potato as the Early
Goodrich, has been before last year,
without another trial. The Early \ orks
were better, believe, because the tubers
made most of their growth after the
weather became cool. The present year
will determine the relative value of the
Early Goodrich and the Early Rose.
As to the best late table potato, 1
think there is no potato TO be compared
to the peach blow. II we even have
the frosts hold off until October, I new
TER have seen season long enough to
mature the vines of the peach blow be-
fore the frosts in the fall. For two
years the weather has been very favor
able to the peach blow in the fall bat
the year before, frosts came early in
September, and the peach blow was not
fit for a table potato. The uncertainty
of having the right kind of weather in
the fall for so late. q potato, has led to
looking for one which is healthy, will
zripen early, and lie good table potato.
l think the Garnet Chill . good potato,
but few in the hill with me. Il has
never produced as much as the peach
blow. For a good, solid, fine-skinned,
good producing potato, good for the ta-
of its rotting) having most of the good
points desirable in a potato, 1 will name
the Harrison, one of the Goodrich seed
lingsi know that some who tried
them last year condemn them; others
extol them very highly. May not the
difference of opinion arise from the u1-
favorable condition Of soil or bad culti-
yatioil p COrFeSDORdent.

where III this county, from the north TO
the south line, the evidence of improv-
ment is very marked. Where two years
ago there was nothing but raw prairie,
good farms have sprung into existence.
Mr.. Hegwer near the head of Walnut
creek, has set this spring over five miles
of Usage hedge, and has i'll a good crop
of wheat and barley. at Chelsea sew
eral good residences have been built, a
large school house is under contract,
and a steam saw and shingle mill is in
full operation, and a store with stock
of goods is coming on. Mr.. Donaldson
no longer has town to himself, but a
thriving village is springing Hp around
dim. Chelsea is now, aud will continue,
point in Butler county.
We found Eldorado a live wide awake
place, growing quite rapidly, and with
great hopes for the future. 1t has five
stores, a hotel, kept by Mr.. Thomas. and
the usual complement of professional
men. Part of the machiueIy for new
saw mill is or the ground, and by next
winter it is intended to dam the Wal
nut, and put iii a saw and Touring mill.
Here, as at Chelsea, a good school house
is to be built this year. One criticism
we would make concerning Eldorado
the place in one respect is little fast.
which gives it the name of hard town.
We believe the good of the place would
be subserved by amending in this par
tieular. Court passed off pleasantly,
without any trials, but the docket was
cleured of all cases ready for trial. and
the signs are that the court will not be
very heavy next fall. At court we had
| the pleasure of meeting Reuben Riggs
of Marion county, /. S. Haskell of Oma-
ha, and a. Gillett of Emporia, w. l.
Galliher aud ID. NJ. Bronson of Eldora-
do, all pleasing gentlemen and good
| lawyers, whom we hope TO meet again
While at EldOrado we heard much OF
the Usage Lands, and every voice seem
| ed raised in praise of low Butler and
Cowley counties, and all reported thai
these sections are filling up with nnpre
cedcnted rapidity. We hope before
| long to be able to visit them, and tel
