The executive session of the United
States Senate, on Wednesday, had under
consideration the nomination of a brother
in-law. The Worlds correspondent saws ::
A LIVELY TIME IN EXECUTIVE SESSION.
There was lively time in executive
session to-day over my brother-in-law," !"
M. j. Cramer, who was nominated as Min
iSter to Denmark, two months ago, and
whose appointment had remained unacted
on. Mr.. Chandler rose soon after the
Senate went into secret session and moved
that the Committee on Foreign Relations
be directed to report that appointment
back to the Senate. 1t had lain in that
committee two months, and it was time it
should be before the Senate. Mr.. Sumner
said: al object to the resolution. The
Committee on foreign Relations have been
for two months inquiring into this nomin-
alton, and all that they can find is that
this nominee is a brother-in-low of the
President and wholly unfit for the posi-
ton" Mr.. Chandler subsided into his
seat, and the Vice President said that a
single objection carried the resolution over
to another day.

AT recent Democratic meeting IN
Hartford, Colonel s. A. Cooley gave some
of his experiences in South Carolina cleo
tions: He was appointed registrar and
inspector, under the law of Congress, in
one of the voting districts in that State.
He registered nine hundred eolored men
and only two white men. The colored
men there were not educated, nor as in
telligent as the colored men here. They
were so ignorant that many of them did
not know what voting meant, and some Of
them did not know what their own names
were. In coming up to be registered, one
would give his name as Tom Rice, when
fifteen or twenty would give the same
name-"Pse Tom Rice, too," and he had
long list of names repeated in that way.
1t was impossible, under the regulations
to tell who voted on these names.

TIE New York Herald, which has
been giving Grants administration its
support, now admits that the President
is very unpopular, and says
Missouri, which is the political kew
stone of the western and northwestern
states, has abandoned radicalism, has set
up the might of her franchise, crippled as
1t is, IN hostility to the test oath and all
other e0structions which disfranchise her
citizens; She stands to-day, in the per-
son of her two senators and her execu-
tive, in an attitude of firm hostility to
the administration. When the state

Democratic vote-for the democrats put

GOOD ADVICE FROM THE RIGHT
QUARTER.


The Americus club of Philadelnb;a
elected at tate meeting, w. V. McG-ath,
Esq as President. He gave the following
advice to the club, which we hope will be
needed as much as it is needed, there and
elsewhere, said:
The experience of the past has proved
that 1T Is worse than idle to make nomin-
atlons unfairly, or select unfit candidates.
Let US therefore, determine to aid in cor
rectlng our mistake in this respect fer the
future. Let US assist in establishing the
standard of good personal, as well as po-
htlcal, character and ability in nomina-
tons. 1t is not necessary to hunt for good
alone amongst those who have
grown ole in the acquisition of wealth in
business pursuits, or among those who
have heretofore satisfactorily discharged
the duties of official positions; they may
be found among the many active, intelli-
gent young and middle-aged men of the
party-men of steady business habits and
good moral standing in the community,
against whom their political opponents
could, IN truth utter no word Of censure
or reproach-thesea are the men to ittingly
represent the Democratic party and give
1T success

This Is sixty-three per cent. of the en-
tire internal revenue tax, exclusive OF
stamps
The six New England States are expec-
ted to contribute an aggregate of Sc, ,5O4,-
600; less than third of what is expected
from New York, less than half of Ohio's
share, and two millions less than Ken
lucky.
New England, with population In
round numbers, of 3,492, 900, has a rep
resentation of twelve Senators, and paws
but six and half millions of internal
revenue; while Ohio, New York, Penn
sylvania, Illinois and Kentucky. with a
population of l4,79S, 900, are represented
'bylbut tenISanators, and are called on to
pay nearly seventy-one millions of inter-
nal taxation.
These facts, the tariff laws and the ma
tional bank system are devised solely in
the interest of the New England money
power. No wonder that the Yankees in
their thanksgiving sermons always speak
of this as the "best Government the sun
ever shone upon"

DEATH or An EDITOR.

1t was GEORGE s. BENEDICT, son of the
editor of the Cleveland Herald, who per-
ished in the sleeping car at the accident
at New Hamburg, New York. He was
associated with his father and was man
OF 27 or % years of age. He leaves a
wife and one child to mourn his untimely
death. He was a gentleman of education
and great worth.

The Democratic gains thus far in the
United States Senate, are: George Goldth-
waite, of Alabama; F. P. Blair, of Mis-.
souri, 2. B. Vance, of North Carolina
Joseph P. Kelley, of Oregon; Henry
Cooper, of Tennessee and H. G. Davis
of West Virginia.

THE New York Su7a, republican news
paper of some influence and large circula-
ton, thinks the democrats can win quite
easily in the contest of 1872, if they
follow the proper course and use discre-
ton in selecting candidates. We quote =.
In the elections of the past year. twen-
ty States, which, according to the present
apportlonment give one hundred and sew
enty-slx votes for president, went for the
republicans, while seventeen states, which
give one hundred and fifty votes, went for
the democrats. 1t will be seen, therefore,
that II the democrats can retain in 1872
all the States they carried in 1860. they
VIII prevail IN the next presidential con-
test, provided they can make an additional
gam OF fourteen electoral votes.
Can the democrats make such a gain ?
Assuming that they will show good sense
IN the erection Of their platform and the
selection Of their candidate, the southern
states afford the most available field for
them TO make the necessary break in the
republican lines. Among the states car
rled by the republicans the past year were
Arkansas, Mississippi and Texas. With
no changes elsewhere in 1872, these alone,
"ASS1S0 uOH GHS republicans, Will more
than suffice to elect the democratic ticket.
The editor goes on to state that the
negro vote Is very unstable, and that there
Is strong probability that enough black
men will vote the democratic ticket to give
the entire vote of the south against the
radicals. We are glad to see the radical
newspapers beginning to appreciate the
situation.

AS the whole number of bushels of corn
raised in all the States was but s74, ,000,-
600, it follows that we get three-fourths
of it in seven States. In Ohio there are
thirty bushels grown to the acre. and but
twenty-three in Illinois. In Kansas they
obtain forty-eight bushels.

The census of 1870 is particularly inter

ducts of the different States. Two hundred
and sixty-four millions of bushels of wheat
were raised in the Unien in 1869. The
principal States for this crop were these ::

1t will be seen that the little, mountain
GUS, rocky State of Vermont grows more
potatoes than Indiana, and that Maine
raises as many af Illinois. In Vermont
the yield to the acre is 116 bushels; in
Ohio it is ll2. In Michigan they get $50.
and in New Hampshire 40 bushels to the
acre.
OF the 100000 bushels of buckwheat
produced in the Union, 100000 are
raised in New York and Pennsylvania.
The great States for oats are Pennsyl-
vania, with 48, 100000 bushels, New York
with 81, ,000,0 900, Illinois with 35,000,O 900
Ohio with 27,00o,O 900 and Wisconsin with
100000.
Two-thirds of all the cheese in the
United States is manufactured in New
York and Ohio. Nearly half the butter
is made in New York, Ohio and Pennsyl-
vania. New York has more mich COWS
than any other State, and California next,
the numbers being respectively 1,9S0,OO0
and 1,3S0000. We have in Ohio one
quarter of all the sheep. California is the
next great State in sheep, having over
100000 of them. In Texas, which has
100000 mich cows, the price of butter is
81 GO pound. In tie value of all do
mestic animals the principal States rank

The Indian Commissioner Parker, near
ly full blood Indian himself, was selected
by Grant because he thought. doubtless,
he was just the man for a post requiring
integrity and sagacity. To assist him and
to illuminate the ways that were dark, an
unpaid commission of disinterested citi-
zens were selected, who have been devo-
ting some leisure hours to the way this
heather Indian played his hand. One o!
them, Mr.. Welch, has developed the i'm
portant fact that there are AH-S-Ns in the
employ of Parker who have had twenty
four Jacks in their sleeves, who did beat
the aborigines and oldest inhabitants out
of their boots and blankets. Hear the

ASTOUNDING CHARGES.

The following astounding charges, made
by VIM. Welch, of the Indiana Peace
Commission, are contained in a letter ad-
dressed to Vincent Collyer, his associate,
to this effect.
Hon. Vincent C6lZyer:
MY DEAR SIR: You ask me if my
statements opimprovidence, or something
worse, in the Indian Department are fully
sustained by the books and vouchers. A
deliberate examination has revealed facts
even worse than my statements, but as the
investigating committee will in due season
report thereon, do not feel free to state
anything beyond few indlsputable facts
taken from the official records One mil
lion and thirty-one thousand dollars were
paid to one favored contractor within a
few months. All but $1,000 of this sum
was on very private contracts. One hun
dred and seventy-nine thousand dollars of
it was paid for freights up the Missouri at
from So per cent. to 800 per cent. above
the rates at which the Quartermaster Of
the army had effected contract to take
all the Indian goods. The profit on the
money paid to this contractor must have
exceeded 100000, and it does not appear
that he assumed any risk. On the 10th
OF August last he was authorized by Com
missioner Parker to pick up two to three
million pounds of -four, without limit as
to price. Most of it was purchased at
1920 hundred, whilst the government
pay for it $3.50 hundred. If it has been
bought in August it could have been ship
ped to Grant River under the quartermas-
ter contract at $1.60 hundred pounds,
but under the private bargain the freight
was $6 per hundred pounds. The Texas
cattle bought privately on June II and
August 10 were paid for at six cents per
pound Immediately on their arrival at the
reservations, whilst the same contractor,
after proper competition, united with 9TH
ers in furnishing still better cattle at three
and eighty-eight hundredths cents per
pound, taking all risks of keeping during
the winter. Yours, truly.
