The Eastern Question.

The Russian Government takes its
opportunity. 1t has for Il long time
quietly looked on while Prussia has
aggrandizcd herself, and now wants
something too. What it wants seems
small and humble enough; it is only a
revision of the treaty Of 1856. But be-
hind that treaty there is that which in
tcrcStS the people Of the Old WOrld.-
1t is the dominion of the Mediterranean
TO such Il dominion Prussia would
not object, but England would, and
France should. 1t is related that NJ.
'ThicrS, in his late expedition to ST.
Petersburg, promised that France would
not object to Russia carrying her do
minion to the Golden Horn and max
ing the Dardcnellcs Il Russian sea.
Turkey, of course, will not be pleased
with such an arrangement, and, if we
are to believe the kilograms from Con-
stantinoplc, she will fight Russia. But,
after all, what will she do" Her asscr-
ton that she has six hundred thousand
soldiers to meet the hosts of Russia, is
sheer impudcncc. The Sultan, if he
taxes the military resources of his coun-
try to the utmost, can not put into the
field more than one hundred and fifty
thousand effective troops. And Russia,
now that her railroad system has been
extended So greatly, is able to throw
four hundred thousand men, within
two weeks, into the Danubian Princi-
paliticS. The Turkish troops, on the
whole, are unable to cope with those of
Russia, and if they could not obtain as
Sistancc from other powers, they would
surely bc overwhelmed. - Cincinnati

{ From the st. Louis Times, 18th inst.
The Next Presidency.

The aggregate electoral vote OF the
present thirty-seven States is three
hundred and eighteen, upon the rela-
tive political complexion of which spec
ulation is becoming rife since the result
of late elections has been asccrtained.
1t can of course be little more than
speculation, as under the new appor-
tionment the distribution of Prcsiden-
tial electors will doubtless be modified
and their number increased; but upon
the reasonable presumption that the
Northwestern States will gain no more
by their greater population than the
Southern States by their colored acces-
sions, it is not likely that the change
will materially affect the relative polit-
ical proportions of the vote. At any
rate, Il glance at the vote on its present
basis and its probable disposition is not
| without interest.
The New York Herald considers the
| chances of Democratic success, at the
next Presidential election, as scarcely
admissible of doubt, and classifies the
several States as follows:

The Lesson.

Can't. Frank MOrey is elected to Con-
gress over Judge J. ID. Watkins, one Oh
the purcSt and best men in the State.
We hope that the Democrats VINO
wanted an acceptable man to the
powers that be, are gratitied; for we
believe Capt Morey to be emincntly
THE MAN in that respect. McCranle
beat Morey in 1865 about ten thousand
votes in this District, yet the Demo
cratic Convention in Monroe lmnOlatcu
him to elect an ACCEPTABLE man, ana
THEY GOT HIM, in Capt. +. Morey.
The State Democratic Convention went
outside of the record and propricty to
announce that they accepted the 18th
Amendment 1" in good faith" and then
capped the climax of weakness by NOM
mating upon the State ticket two men,
almost entirely unknown and with no
strength or weight. After surrender
ing everything that was worth a con-
flict, the Democratic party delivered
battle and was defeated. With such
leadership and such weakness it is not
to be wondered at. Popular feeling
was not and could not be enlisted.
Democratic clubs and OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
not had in many places because they
were not acceptable' to the Radi-
cal party; Notwithstanding the loyal
leagues and the G. A. II. were in full
blast. We confess to very little inter-
est in the election. When conventions
had surrendered the issues, as we un-
derstOod them, between the two parties,
had ugone back'' on the former record
and on Il man who had not swerveti
one hairs breath since his election in
1868, it was difficult for us to endorse
the acts and policy of such bodies.
When the Democratic party swings
over to unacceptable" principles and
men with Radicalism, it must swing
without us, and we will support MEN
not parties TO have been beaten stand
ing firmly by our established princi-
pies, would at least have been respecta-
| bic, but Il shameful surrender and an
inglorious defeat docs not even leave
us the poor boon of self-respect. If the
Democratic party are wise they will
profit by the experience of 1S7O.-t Union

POLITICAL NOTES.

The New York Assembly is reported
to stand 65 Democrats and 63 Itepub-
licans.
In Massachusetts, John q. Adams,
though defeated for Governor, is elect
ed Representative from Quincy.
Oak ota has chosen Il Democtatic del
egate to Congress. This is another
change in favor of the party of the
Constitution.
The Missouri House Representatives
comprises 13O members. OF these, the
Radical party in that State have actu-
ally succeeded in electing serenteen
One name on the roll of the newly
elected Legislature of New Mexico is
Alphonso Ferdinand Senay Garcia An
tonic Cortes Maria GOnsalvO Diego
JuareZ MesteS.
There have thus far been elected five
colered members of the next House OF
Representatives., Delarge, Ramey, and
Elliott, of South Carolina Turner, of
Alabama; and DIR. Norton, of Virginia.
When Grant heard that West Nir-
ginia had gone Democratic, he burst

| folks are quite as uncertain.
The aggregate of Democratic gains in
the recent elections in Illinois amount
to over II 900. The popular majority
of Mr. Jonn a. Logan will hardly OK
ceed five thousand. Two years ago
Radicalism boasted a popular majority
of sixty tOusand in Illinois.
Little Delaware did nobly in the re-
cent contest. The Democrats carried
every county in the State, and elected
all the officers from Governor to School
Director. The Radicals relied upon
negroes, the Democrats upon white
men.
The Chicago Times says sufficient re-
turns of the election for members of the
| Illinois Legislature have been received
to indicate the Democracy will have Il
majority in the House of Representa-
tivcs, while the Republicans will have
a small majority in the Senate. If the
Democracy do not have IL majority in
the two Houses, jointly, the division
will be of such a nature as will, in all
probability, assure the election of Judge
Lawrence to the United States Senate.

The Food Crop.

Sufficient data have been received
from all parts OF the country, relative
to the crops, to enable us to form Il rcas-
onably correct estimate of the yield.
The crops are not i'll all respects fully
up to the highest average of former
years but there is scarcely any staple
that will not yield sufficient for home
consumption, besides leaving Il surplus
for expectation. Wheat ranges from
10 to 13 per cent, below the very high
average of last year, but the quality is
very much better, Il fact that goes far
to atone for any deficiency that may
occur. Then there is still very large
stock OF last years crop on hand, and it
is possible that some may be lying over
from the previous year. In no case,
therefore, will there be any approach
to IL scarcity. The surplus will be album
dant for expectation, and there is little
danger that the market can be depleted,
even by the very large demand, which
is rendered probable by the continuance
or the war.
The corn crop is the best for the last
ten years. The Northwestern and the
Gulf States have raised a very large sup
ply. The total crop is estimated at 21O,-
OOO, 900 bushels at an average of 36 bush
els to the acre. Corn figures more large
| ly in the West and South as Il cOmmOd-
| ity for home consumption thatn for OK
pOrtatiOn. A large crop secures plenty
in every farm, homestead and cabin.
and assures abundance of feed for cattle
and live stock. AS result of the large
corn crop we may therefore expect tC
see fresh and salt meats reduced from
the high figures that have ruled since
the war. In this connection it is inn
TO -, I,f ,pNpNlx fat
cattle in the west exceeds that of former
years. And this, too, Independently OF
the constantly increasing receipts from
Texas, which is rapidly looming up as
a great cattle producing State.
The other crops that con(luce SO large
ly to the prosperity of farming are not
satisfactory. Rye is smaller in quanti-
ty but better in quality than last year.
Peas and beans are about an average.
The potato crop is deficient in every
State from the Mississippi River to the.
Atlantic coast. In some of the western
States the falling Off ranges from u to
36 per cent. This is !, very large def
cheney, and one that is likely to advance
the prices of other food crops to cOnsun-
crs. The apple crop is beyond all pre-
ccdcnt. In some parts of the New En-
gland States the yield is SO abundant as
to scarcely cover the expenses of pick
ing.
1t is satisfactory to state that there is
Il steady increase of the Southern sugar
crop. In Louisiana the crop languiShcd
for the first few years after the close of
the war. But in that State and in Texas,
the old plantations are being gradually
brought under cultivation. If no u,l-
toward event occurs, this product may
regain its former prosperity sooner than
is anticipated. The rice crop is also ia

The Lost Man Of the Yellowstone.

$. w. Langhorne writes from Boze-
man, October 2G, to the Helena (MOn-
tana) Herald: "Sincc my last to you,
Mr. Evarts has arrived in BOzeman,
and have had several interviews with
him. AS his many friends will peruse
with interest anything connected with
his loss and recovery, 1 will endeavor
to relate, as near as l can, some few in
cidents of his life, thoughts, and feel
ings during those terrible days when
he wandered over the mountainous
country so little known to man. Dur
ing the terrific storm which prevailed
Il few days after he was lost, he remain
ed near some warm springs, and at
night slept on the incrusatiOn formed
between two of the group, with his
head near one and his feet close to an
other, his body resting on the forma-
ton between. Where his hip lay it
broke through, and he was severely
scalded. He remained twelve days
without a fire, subsisting on the root OF
the thistle, and few small fish caught
with his hands and handkerchief. He
boiled the roots in the hot water Of one
of the springs, and then grcedily ate
them. He was unfortunate in losing
both his pocket and butcher knives,
but after he resumed his journey, he
was fortunate to find Il fork at one of
the camps that had been occupied by his
comrades, which proved of great SER
vice; also Il yeast powder box, which
he jocularly calls his scamp kettle.' He
went all the way around the lake and
part way down Snake river, and then
retraced his steps, endeavOring to reach
Bottclcr's ranch, on the Yellowstone.
He would have accomplished the trip
successfully, but lost several days in
getting on the trail. Had it continued
warm, he thinks he could have reached
there in four more days. AS it was,
however, he does not think he could
have lived another night.
Mr.. Barnett says he killed Il noun
tain lion near where he found Mr..
Evarts, and thinks the beast was on his
path. His account of his finding, diff
fers somewhat from Mr.. Barnctt's as
he thinks Mr.. Barnett did not see him
until he was quite near; but / think
Mr.. T.. may be mistaken as to whether
Mr.. B. saw him as described. He docs
not admit of the idea that he was de-
time fncicd that he had plenty of
company; thought his right leg was
one man, his left leg another, his arms
two others, and his stomach fifth
thought they We're good fellows, and
was sorry he could not give them all
they wanted to eat. He was surprised
that when thistles We're to be dug, fires
made, wood brought and meals cooked,
they would not help him. Everything
he ate tasted good except gr:tsShoppers.
His stomach had not been educated up
to that point. He frequently ate fish
raw and esteemed them delicious
caught one snOwbird and had rare
meal; chased Il toad for two days, but
without capturing it. In his dreams
he used to cook some of the most de-
liciouS meals he ever ate in his life. 1t
is Il great pleasure to hear him talk, and
he tells you so many little incidents
that you cannot remember Onc-hal of
them.

tion of
oTHE DAILY TEI.EGRAPH,"
To be continued during three months,
comprising the business season Of the
year, and for an indefinite period
thereafter, if it shall appear, after the
experiment proposed, that the people Of
the towns of Monroe and Trenton, and
such vicinities as look to those points
for the latest reliable intelligence, are
desirous that Il daily newspaper should
be kept up and are willing to extend it
their support.
Wehave twice issued the TELEGRAPH
as daily, for IL specified number of
weeks, and performed an amount of
editorial labor which no editor of an
interior daily has attempted to perform.
We propose to keep up the standard
established, and invite the liberal pat
ronage of our friends.
Mail subscribers are assured that the
Daily Telegraph will be mailed to them
EcSu1hTly upon tAAc Osty VI puOAASt&'AoiA,
