THE, RESULT IN, THE
ST4 TIE.

Up to the time of going to,
press (Tuesdoy morning) we
have had no reliable news as to-
the result of the election in
this State. Soon after this pa
per went to press last week we
learned that PendletOn was de-
feated, but we have net yet
learned Hayes majority.
The exact political complex
ion of the Legislature. is not
yet known. bat the probabili'
ties are that the RAIDS have cal'--
ried it bya majority Of one i'll
the Senate and three in the
House. There are, however,
five Republicans elected on the
Hamilton County Reform tick,
ct who will not act with the,
RAIDS. The fifteenth Amend
ment is dead forever-that is
sare. .a.l

The prices of goods at j. X.
Wills are extremely low.

1t appears that the gold
gambling operations in Wall
street were not the first stroke
of financial policy on the part
of Grants brother-in,law, Cor,
bin. A Congressional Com
mittee of Investigation in 1857,
discovered the fact that Mr..
Corbin, who was then clerk Of
the House Committee Of Claims,
received one thousand dollars
for his services in getting the
tariff measures of '57 through
Congress. Aletter of Mr.. Cor
bins was also produced by the
Committee, in which appears
his negotiations with q commit
tee of interested parties, by
which a corruption fund of ff
ty thousand dollars was to be
placed at Mr.. Corbin's disposal
for the purpose of influencing
members of Congress. A speci.

household, is the same A. R.

What one of RGpeI"s Nigger

What one of RGpel's Nigge''
Justices of the Peace done.
The Radical Governor of
North Carolina some time since
appointed one Of Raper's black
friends, named jim, (his name
should have been John IT,, q
Justice of the Peace at South
Mills in that State. Now, Jim
was a good hand in a cotton or
corn field, and formerly belong
ed to a Judge Baker, and he
obtained his legal knowledge
by inspiration. In fact, he was
as well qualified for Justice Of
the Peace as Job Lucas is for
Judge of the Court Of Common
Pleas, But the Carpet Bag
Governor had to do something
for nigger Jim; he had prom
ised all the niggers a mule or
forty acres of land for their
votes; and after they had vo-
ted it would not do to go back
on all Of them, and so the Gov
ernor appoints him to the Of.
fee aforesaid. Well, recently
a niger was 'toted' up before
Esquire Jim by two other mig.
gers, charged with beating his
wife. So the Esqr. Jim looked
earnestly and seriously for al.
most half day through Cant
wells Justice to find out what
was the punishment for beating
ones wife, but, could find moth.
ing on the subject. Finally
he came across treason, and he
concluded treason meant beat.
ing the wife, and as treason
was punishable with death, he
sentenced the negro to be- hung
that evening at sun down,
which would have been done
but for the interference of a
couple of citizens of South Mills.
That is precisely the class of
officials we are to be blessed
with should the 18th Amend
ment be ratified, .tro h d

Soldier iSicELpS.

'(NN"tNCe
Sickles winds up his late
note to the Spanish Govern,
ment by saying that he adj
dresses himself as "a soldier to
soldiers We have heard of
the jackass dressing himself in
a lions skin, and emulating
with his discordant bray the
roar of the king of beasts. But
we have never heard of even a
jackass who had the effrontery
to address himself as a lion to
lions. The probability is that
if the asinine beast should
make such an experiment his
leonine audience would tear
him limb from limb. Sickles
demonstrates with the Spanish
Government upon the horrible
barbarity practiced by the
Spanish in Cuba in shooting
unarmed men, If the Spanish
Regent is acquainted with his
antecedents, he might inquire
if the practice of the American
Minister had always conform,
ed to his theory.

THE LOCAL PAPER. The following tribute
to the local paper, from the Chicago Repu6li-
can, contains so much truth, that We transfer II
10 our columns and commend II to the careful
consideration Of our business men and those
interested In our town;
"What tells us 40 readily the standard
OF town or city as the appearance Of
its paper? And its youth or its age can
as we'll be determined by the observing
as by personal notice. The enterprise
of its citizens is depicted by its advertise
ments, their liberality by the looks Of
the paper. Some papers show good
solid, healthy foundation, plethoric pur-
scs, and welLto-do appearance gener-
ally others show striving to contend
with the grasping thousands around
them, trying hard Co wrench out an exis-
tence from the olose-fsted community
around them. Take your home paper
il gives You more news Of immediate in
terest than New York or other papers
il talks for you when other localities
belle you; It stands up for your rights
you always have q champion in your
home paper, and those who stand mp for
you should certainly be sustained. Your
interests are kindred and equal, and you
must raise or tall together. Therefore it
is to your interest TO support your home
paper, not grudgingly, but In liberal
spirit, as a pleasure, not as disagreeabls
duty, but as an Investment that amply
repeys the expenditure"

The preliminary report of the Depart
,nent of Agriculture on the state of the
crops makes the startling declaration
that the actual reducticm IN value the
past season alone, from the. ALTERNATE
drowning and scorching" of farm crops,
has been not less than 5000, 900, 900
The Importance, not only Of individual
prosperity, but to the National resources,
of better draining, and, in general, more
careful culture, is very obvious. 1t is a
significant commentary on the natural
fertility of the soil that, despite all draw.
backs, the corn crop will be "amply sui.
hcient Tor sll the wants of the country"
while we are told that, had the spring
wheat been equal to the winter, "the
whole crop would have been enormous" "
1t is also noteworthy that tho area OF
cotton cultivation was increased last
spring fully sixteen per cent, and that
more than million acres are added TO
the cultivated area.
