Grants vote was 1913 SOL, only 292,-
sfi more than Seymour's, when his
laurels were fresh and his fame unfair.
nishcd. After four years of muladmin
istratiou it will not be so hard matter
for the Democrats to overcome tha,
majority and put Grant in a minority
as great Let the Radical party look
to its laurels, for there is life in the
old Democratic party yet, and Radical
ism will ye: learn that il is not to be
despised

POTATO Ror IN ENGLAND.-Thc
North of England Farmer says that the
farmers in North and Fast Yorkshire,
GU lifting their potato crop, find the re
suit to be a most destructive state of
things:-"Nearly all the new American
varieties, and all the old sorts, are
everywhere Diseased. and such a thing
as u sound crop canno: be heard Of 10
dry situations it seems to be the unani
nous opinion that more than half the
crop is unfit for market, and on We.
lands fully 20 per cent. is deemed to be
valueless except for immediate consump-
ton BY pigs. 1t is certain that since
the Irish famine the potato crop has
not proved so great failure"

will be hailed with joy by the people !;
hut this report is not at all in the line
Of the purpose Of the Secretary of the

debt regardless of taxation. Civil ser.
vice reform is also to be talked of at
some: length, bat as the President has
full power under the Constitution to
secure civil. service reform, all that he
chooses to do can be done. The same
executive power under existing laws
belongs to the President in reference
to the Indian service, which, We arc
insured, with be adhered to in substance.
This will be most unexpected to por-
tious Of the West which have suffered
from what they regard as too peaceful
