LINE AND STAFF.
From the N. Y. Tribune.

from the N. L. IT1Ol1e,
Our navy is the apple of the national eye,
and we are sorry that it is just at this mo-
ment an apple of discord. Whatever con-
Germs the prosperity and honor of that SER
vice concerns the prosperity and honor of all
citizens, and therefore the rather peppery
contest between the line and the staff, upon
question of rank, invites the earnest atten-
tion of good many people who do not ex-
actly know the difference between line and
staff, or between a bowsprit and capstan
bar. 1t is not easy to ascertain the precise
, merits of the controversy. But we shall con-
vey an approximate idea thereof to our read
ers by saying that certain civil personages, as
doctors pursers, chaplains, and the like, ne
eessarily allied with the service, do not at pre-
sent take the official rank to which they are
thought to be entitled, and the purpose,
warmly urged by the staff, and as eagerly
combated by the line, is to rehabilitate the
system--to slightly exalt the men Of money
medicine and prayer, in order to equalize the
moral altitude of the various departments of
he service
Relative official status is something which
ought to be determined by common sense,
and not by tradition or professional prejudice.

TWO HUNDRED AND TEN THOUSAND

From the N Y Herald.
The popular vote cast in our late State
election falls two hundred and ten thousand

follows-
Total vote for Governor, 1868 ............s $50 656
Total vote for Secretary of State 1862 .64O045
Deficiency. .210,611
In other words, only three-fourths of the
popular vote was cast in the late election, the
other fourth remaining at home. There are
some other curious figures connected with the
late election, as compared with last year. For
instance, last year

tricts, comparing the vote of this year and

this county the Republican majority on the
State ticket was six thousand six hundred and

| ties The vote is short on both sides all the
way through, but the weight of the dead loss
is uniformly with the Republicans There
was no pressing national issue at stake the

voting to keep up these city commissions,
| excises, registries, and what not, and conclud-
ing that Greeley might take care of himself,
default the Democrats have gained absolute
possession of the State, and the consequence
will probably be a work of reconstruction and
revolution in our city and State affairs as COM

The CRANBERRY Crop la New Jersey

The Toms River Courier contains an In
:eresting article on the cranberry crop, in
which it speaks as follows THE cranberry
product in Ocean county last year was very
small. Probably not 5000 bushels were gath
cred on all of our plantations. The state
ment now going the rounds of the press as to
the actual amount gathered last fall is erro-
neous. That statement was based upon the
facts collected by us two years ago and some
sanguinc person had made application OF the
statement TO the last years crop. In our
county at the present day there are beyond
doubt 2000 acres of cranberry fields in such
complete state and bearing to be worth to-
day, as an investment, the magnificent sum
of 81, 100000. This is not an idle picture or
lanciful estimate, but based upon our own
observation.
An acre of cranberry land, three years old
is worth at least $1,000 per acre but we
know Of many different owners who have
| refused S2500 per acre, SO that we think our
estimate is not an unfair one.
We have in our county "a large amount of
land most admirably adapted TO the cram
berry culture. 1t is not every piece OF soft
spongy ground through which spring trio
kles, that will bear the beautiful fruit. AL
most every man who has wet spot on his
| land is very apt to consider it good cranber-
1
| OF running water, or not. Many who put
out boys under these circumstances ale apt
to come TO grief.
| The present season indicates u very large
crop of berries-a larger crop, if possible,
| than in 1867, when $1,000 bushels Were
raised in our county. Judging from the
| show of bloom and the bloom now we would
not be far ont of the way when we estimate
this years crops in our county at 10000
bushels Our reasons for estimating this in
crease are as follows: The bloom is thicker
and large number OF plantations come in
10 bearing for the first lime this year.
OF course, to accomplish this result, a
large expenditure OF capital has been neces-
lsary. TIE main fields OF the cranberry
operators are to he found in Dover, Man
chester and Jackson townships, while in the
eastern part of Brick, around the villages Of
West Greek and Barnegat, many have en-
tered into their culture to some extent. Oak
ford, we believe, has some fine boys.
These cranberry plantations are great
source Of wealth to their proprietors. In
crease this supply, and the demand keep
pace with it. If the planters net one dolaI
per bushel, ii is the most profitable crop tina
, can lie raised. Pies, tarts and sauce con
sumo them in large quantities-and who ar
: they who will turn away from the rich sauce
, and leave it untasted Shipped in casks fill
ed with water, they serve most admirably l.
while away the monotonous fare OF sea vOy
i ayes.
, When the entire cranberry fields of Jcea
9 county come into bearing, there will be a
immense product, but remember that the dc
mand will keep up with the supply
