We give below a table of the result of the
recent elections throughout the country,
showing that the Democrats are in ma
jority in eighteen of the States, and the Re
publicans in seventeen, being a clear gain
of ten States since the election for President
ent in 1868. The only States in the list
which have not voted directly are Georgia,
which gave fifty thousand ajority for Sey-
mOur, and New Hampshire, which gave Sc
ven thousand majority for Grant. There is
hardly any chance that another Presiden-
tial election would show any different re-
suit in those States.

On the whole, IN the recent elections, the
Democracy hare made gains. But their gain
has been very slight compared with the
heavy gain over the high tariff party in the
prestige of success, in organization, conf
dence, and power. All these will make
themselves felt at the outset in the meeting
of the next Congress.

Manure for the Garden.

The Amertcan Agraculturist says that
"good, well-rotted stable manure, and
plenty Of it, will grow almost anything
in the garden or field. The point where
most fail is In not using enough manure.
For large share Of garden crops the soil
cannot be too rich. This is especially the
case with all succulent vegetables, suoh as
cabbage, lettuce and the like. Spent brew
ers' hops are found to be useful substi-
tute for stable manure, but few are able
TO avail themselves of these. Guano Is
very valuable, as are also hen manure and
fish guano These are best composted
with soil before using them. Night soil,
comp0sted with dry earth, is odoriess, and
is q fertilizer almost altogether neglected,
except in the expensive and uncertain
form OF poudrette. Earth closets should
be introduced for the SAKE Of the manure,
even if they were not advisable upon
sanitary accounts. The use of dry earth
In the hen houses not only serves to keep
the atmosphere wholesome, but it allows
the manure to become composted st the
same time Sods laid in q heap and OIL
lowed to decay, or thrown into pig-pen
and there composted by the animals make
en- excellent application, especially to old
gardens needing fresh soil. Ashes and
plaster, separately or together, may be ap-
piled to most crops with benefit. A well
Ciade phosphate is valuable manure, but
one should be careful TO purchase only of
manufacturers of good reputation. Finely
ground bones, applied directly or used in
compost. are excellent. Gardens which
have been long in cultivation often need
lime"

After an excellent supper, and having
engaged our guide for the next day, we
sat down n : fosming tankard OF beer

storms upon the mountains One Of his
anecdotes interested us greatly.

stranger spent tho night here, and the
next morning ascended the mountain with
his guide; o snow storm arose- he
was separated from his guide, who
searched Tor him along time In vain.
Then there came down tremen-

WHAT REPUBLICAN PAPER TH1SKs.-The

WHAT REPUBLICAN PAPER THISKs.-The
Alameda Gazette, in a recent article says:
But here who ever heard of this anti Chi
nese argument in the mouths of our foreign
population? The strongest logic Of Hans Brett
man, Johnny Crapeau and Pat Finnegan is,
damn the Chinamanl' Now what they saw
concerning John, We repeat with emphasis
concerning all foreigners Damn the foreign
ers."
The Gazette is one of the most radical Of
all the Radical journals of California. We
accept the above as a very fair type ofthe real
sentiments which animate a majority of the
voters of that organization. The Gazette is
still bruising about in the old Republican
fields, regardless of the platform makers,
who are trying to make tools of one of these
nationalites. Damning the Dutch aud Irish,
and all foreigners, has long been IA favorite
amusement with Republican papers, and it is
evidently difficult matter for some of them
to get out Of the old rut long enough to give
three cheers for Hans, or even to quit cursing
him. Hans is likely to recollect who it was
that passed naturalization bill the other day
for the avowed purpose Of crippling naturali-
cation and making it rs difficult and expensive
rs possible. They are not likely to forget the
men and papers in this State, who, not two
months ago, were calling for an even worse
bill than that passed denouncing foreigners
with venom and malignity. Nor are they
likely to forget what party it was that stood
up manfully for them in the halls of Congress,
and succeeded in defeating the most tyranni-
cal and infamous bill Of the session, aimed di-
rectly at their countrymen.
