A strong Man 10 Beat u. >. Grant.

CINCINNATI Oct 3l.-Ihe Ddty
Enquirer of this city, the leading organ
OF the Democracy OF Ohio, and a recog
nized representative OF the unc0mpro
missing wing OF the party, will to morrow
contain an article expressing Its prefer
euce for Hon. Thomas y. Scott, oil Penn
sylvauia, As its candidate for the Presl
dency. The article discusses Mr.. Scott >
peculiar fitness for the candidacy at
length, the principal points being that IN
order TO succeed, the Democrats must
select a man who can obtain large wore
outside of the party, aud at the same
tune receive the cordial support OF the
organization. The Southern aud old
border slave States can be carried for any
fair man, but some large, able and West
cru States must be secured In order 10
succeed. Scott being strong In Penn
sylvauia and New Jersey, may be sand
to occupy position analogous to that
which james Buchanan did. Pennsyl~
wanna holding the key to the Presidential
position, must therefore be consulted.
Col. Scott having never been closely
identified with politics would neither
awaken resentment or arouse prejudice If
placed at the head of the Presidential
ticket
The Enquirer argues Col SCOTS par
tieular fitness for Presidency as mani
tested il the wonderful executive ability
Shish Ia. has made him the @oSs successful
sumes that Edwin Stanton was good
Judge of men and his selection of Col.
Scott in a most difficult and trying part
of the war as his assistant Secretary, in
dicated high appreciation OF his fine
aud unequalled administrative talent.
1t believes Col. Scott thoroughly sym
pathizes with the movement to restore
the government to its old Democratic
constitutional basis, and concludes by
saying that it has no feeling in the mat
ter, save that Of securing a victory for
the friends of constitutional liberty, and
unless Grant can be beaten in 1872, the
cause of free government in the United
States NAV be considered lost

A New state-The state of Jack
son.

A correspondent of the Memphis Ap
peal wants new State organized. He
thinks it should consist of all the eOun-
try west of the Tennessee River in this
State and Kentucky, and embrace that
part of Mississippi north of the TaIla
hatchie. The idea of forming new
State out of North Mississippi, West
Tennessee, and South western Kentucky,
was pretty freely discussed by the papers
of this section just prior to the war.
The idea then was to make Jackson,
Tenn, the capital of the new State; but,
as such movement now is utterly i'm
practicable, its discussion is useless.

annexation 10 tennessee.

The discussion of the idea OF annex
ing the counties of West Kentucky to
Tennessee has provoked upon US shot
from nearly all our exchanges, both
Kentucky and Tennessee, but we only
reprint from two of our nearest neigh
bors. who from their locations, are best
prepared to appreciate the relation and
interests involved
From The Union City Tenn COurier.]
ANNExATION.- 81 Editor Warren. Of the
Hickman COURIER has come out in sew
eral able articles strongly urging the
annexation. Of what is known as the
he agaeakS I PlSsEEehasse sIssPialsssss
Purchase" is more closely identified
both by geogra phieal position and by
common interest to Tennessee than TO
Kentucky. Tennessee would gladly have
the "Purchase" annexed as a portion OF
her territory Here we have no section
al iealouses, but each division of the
State Is accorded its rights in all con
ventions and elections Brother Warren
We bid you God speed" in your efforts
towards annexation Tennessee Is ever
ready. with her protecting arms, to re
ceive so rich a territory and so noble a
population as constitute the Purchase.
From the Trenton TENN Gazette.l

nexation of South west Kentucky to

Garret Davis ON the sItua,,or

Hon. Carrot Davis, at present . s
Senator from this State, 10 his late speech
at Louisville, thus views the political
situation:
IF the Democratic party could give q
President TO the country, L would 90 "a
sleep and rest in peace; if had the
power to make the next President |
have in my mind Democratic statesman
who would certainly fill and honor the
office; but neither 1, nor that great party,
can bestow this boon upon the country.
A great many able and patriotic men
have long been, and are now acting with.
the Radical party, lured to the position
of its present support by the course of
events. aud intractions of the Coosatu
ton and rights of the States, and liner
ties of the people, and who are DESTROYS
to give their aid to expel 1t from power,
but are withheld by old and fixed feelings
from enrolling themselves as the follow
ers of Democrat. There are hosts Of
such men all over the United States. nv
RAIDS more than would be necessary 10
cast the balance between the Democratic
and Radical parties aud Is there no
statesman IN the country whose ability,
virtues, and public services entitle him to
the confidence and support of every Dem
ocrat, of every good and true citizen Of
the United States, and who would proba-
bly, bring 10 his support hosts of oid-liue
Wings, who are still acting with the
Radicals, or standing aloof from all po-
litieal eopfiets I~ys .0r rne DemocracTc
party, or the country, unt4i Grant and
the Radicals be overthrow; therefore,
the paramount qualification OF his com
petitor should be strength enough u beat
him; and if, in addition to that, be mas
every quality Of great, virtuouS ana
PATRIOTIC states man, does not the highest
and purest patriotism require every true
mau to support his nomination. There
is such man. He stands giOriously re-
vealed to the people OF this nation 10

south Carolina.

The South Carolina sensation increases
in interest. The accounts represent
perfect reign of terror as existing in the
elarsd PeessseaGisy cisi as are are sdf fassgsa
from their beds in the dead of night and
hurried off to prison. Military rule
reigns as supreme and as merciess as in
the darkest days of the war, and there
is no redress. If this is not shame
upon the pane of free country, why
the times have changed and we live in an
entirely new age when all presidents and
principles aud lawful powers are disre-
garded and the sole power of the bayonet
iucIines the scales of justice to suit its
own incisive ends. This unauthorized
and unlawful action of our military
President is an outrage upon the coun
try at large.

1t is said that SOC, 900 head of cattle
will be driven from Texas to market
this year.
The Orleans County IN. W Agricul-
tural Society have decided that horse
racing is not al agricultural exhibition,
and prohibited 1t on the fair grounds.
Mr.. William Groseback, of Union Co..
Iowa, has over one thousand acres of
land under cultivation. He has plan
ted $50 acres of corn, has 800 head of
sheep, 200 cattle, IS horses, etc.
The editor of the Glenwood Iown)
Opinion has been in various parts OF
Western Iowa, Kansas, Nebraska and
Missouri recently, and makes report +
splendid crop prospect everywhere.
Wild pigeons have destroyed much
grain in portions of Wisconsin. Some
one recommends the following remedy:
For each ten acre trac: take two quarts
Of wheat, soak 1t in sulphur, aud scatter
it broadcast over the field.
The last Mormon notion is a machine
to xii! grasshoppcrs. Tho contrivance
is al invention Of Salt Lake City
blacksmith; can be manufactured for
$75, and two or2three would scoop, up
and '.scrunch" all the grasshoppers in
the Territory.
The hay crop of Long Island, N. Y, is
reported to be almost a total failure, by
reason of dry weather, hot sun, and cold
nights. This crop is Il speciality with
very many farmers on the island, the
aggregate value of it being estimated al
a million annually.
The Hennepin Co., Agricultural So
ciety, which holds its fair at Minneapo-
lis, Minnesota, commencing Sept. 18th,

Prof. Daniels of the Wisconsin Agri-
cultural College, who has charge of the
experimental farm of that institution,
rises the question in the Western Farm
e.. "WilI it pay to SOW potatoes, while
potato hugs are so numerous He
says: 1.-THE beetles if left to themselves
will destroy the crop, for there were
never before as many of them at this
season of the year. Paris Green, the
only successful remedy, is costly when
applied throughout the year; it Injuries
the potato, and on account of the arsen-
ic it contains ought never to be put upon
land. Hand picking is expensive, and
will soon amount to more than the val
lie of the crop.
