and resting at the junction on an
axle between two large wheels and
nicely balanced; when in motion,
the plows Of one triangle are in
the ground; those of the other
are in the air, and pointed in the
opposite direction; upon reaching
the end Of the row, the plowman
shifts his seat from one triangle
to the other, the plOws lately in
the ground are now in the air,
and the whole affair ready for the
motion to be reversed. In fact it
is a double-ender, with motion
like q shuttle. The harrow is or.
ranged in the same way. The Cul.
tivatOr is reversed by the wheel
being locked, when q pull of the
cable turns 1t very quickly and
easily. To each Of these imple-
ments wings can be attached with
corresponding plOws or teeth, and
by this means the amount Of work
doubled, but the soil in this coun-
try has proved too tough to admit
Of their use at this season of the
year without an increased power
in the engines. Besides these i'm.
plemonts described are ditching
plows capable Of making q ditch
two feet wide and two feet deep,
circular saw for cutting wood,
and other fixtures. The en-.
gines can be used for various
purposes besides plowing, and
will, no doubt prove very valu.
able. Water is supplied to the
engines from o cart constructed
for the purpose. The engines con-
sumo about a cord and O half Of
wood, or a ton Of coal per day
Two engines, an operator for the
plow and a man for the water cart
are required. 1t is claimed that
the plOw can now break up fifty
acres Of land a day, but at present,
in bedding for cotton, 1t prepares
from twelve to thirteen acres a
day, fourteen inches deep.
1t was built by John Fowler 4
Co., steam plow works, Leeds,
England, put together in this
country by Mr.. Grooms, who re.
mains in charge Of it. MIR. GroOms
has put up and worked several of
these plows in Egypt and in Cuba,
and is confident it will succeed
here. We see no reason why it
should not, and thus it will soon
be followed by others.
Will General Hampton oblige
us and the people Of this section
generally, BY sending us replies to
the following questions in order
that q matter Of so much impOr-
tancc TO an agricultural country

mentary position that it is impos-

forced before this House, to be
sworn in by the Speaker, who has
only 9,SO7 votes, against q demo-
cratic candidate who has 14,098
votes. Talk to me, hereafter, as
a member from New York, of
fraudulent elections!
Never, never in the worst wards
of New York, amid the most de-
PRAYED Of its population, was a
fraud perpetrated like this, which
this House perpetrates at It's bar
to-day in attempting to smuggle in
here a man having 5000 votes
against a democrat having $4,000
votes. Let my colleague from
New York { Mr.. Davis), who is
now in my eye, before he attempts
to correct frauds in New York
elections, let him correct the frau.
dulent elections made here in
this house, from Kentucky, from
Louisiana, from South Carolina.
and elsewhere. There Is not q
fraudulent poll in all New York;
there is not a repeater; there is
not a scoundrel there who deiies
the law, or the constitution Of the
country, there is nothing there in
the way tits now attempted to de-
fraud US, who are in the minority
here, by forcing upon this house
another member elected by no.
body, from nowhere, having no
constituency, and representing
nothing whatsoever.
Sir, I denounce these frauds
from the committee of elections
before the country with all the
vigor am capable Of. This is no
longer a representative govern
mert, This house no longer rOp-
resents the people of this country.
1t is a packed Congress, 1t is a
fraudulent house. 1t is elected by
device and cheatery and conniv.

this very morning at the bar Of

THE POLITICAL OUTBREAK.

The Albany Argus has been re-
viewing the political situation and
prospects, and comes to the con,
clusiOn that with proper effort the
Democracy can carry the follow
ing States:
New Hampshire, Texas,
Connecticut Arkansds,
New York, Tennessee,
New Jersey, Kentucky,
Pennsylvania, Ohio,
Deleware, Indiana,
Maryland, Wisconsin,
Virginia, Minnesota,
North Carolina, Nebraska,
Georgia, Nevada,
Alabama, California,
Louisiana, Oregon,
These States cast an aggregate
of 222 electoral votes, or more
than two thirds of the whole mum.
Der of the electoral college. We
have some doubts, however, as to
the ability Of the Democracy to
carry New Hamphire, Wisconsin,
Minnesota and Nevada. The
'natives" Of those States are so
thoroughly imbued with Radical.
SIN and fanaticism that we fear q
whole decade at least will elapse
before they can be brought to q
realizing sense Of the error of their
ways and the need Of repentance.
The other States named, with q
fair election, will give Democratic
majorities, and those States elect
1872 members of Congress, two
thirds ofwhom should be Demo.
crats, and these, together with the
members we should select in the
more doubtful and Republican
States, would give US a majority
in the next House Of Representa-
tives. The prospect is very fat
tering for the Democrats to carry
the next House Of Representatives
by good working majority, and
the Radical feel that this is so.
