THE FARMERS IN COUNCIL.
The Fountain Greek Agricultural and
Horticultural Sociefy.

The Fountain Creek Agricultural and
Horticultural Society met at Culleoka,
March 18th, with 1.-The general field
crops az a sGhject for discussion.
CORN.
This. as the most important crop. was
hrst discussed. Deep preparation and
SHALLOW culture We're considered the best
means To insure success, and yellow corn
was held by the majority of the Socie-
ty to he superior to the white varieties
for feeding stock, from the fact that it
contains more oil.
WHEAT.
The discussion of this crop WAS limited
TO the subject of smut.
w. L. Kannon thought smut WAS pro-
duccd by grains partly composed of
smut.
w. II. Webb told of a case he had from
reliable authority, in which smut rub
bed upon sound grains produced a crop
composed entirely of smut.
w. l.. !. Wilkes thought an insect
bored into the grains of wheat and
caused tho smut.
Though each one had theory of his
own as TO the cause of smut, yet all
agreed that thorough soaking in blCe-
stone water was a preventive. IL was
also the opinion Of some present that
swimming was as effective as soaking,
but moe laborious. After some further
discussion the society adjourned until
the first Saturday in April, with the
same subject for discussion.

The Democrat then proceeds to say:
We have placed no State in the
Republican column in regard to
which there is the least particle Of
question:; while Missouri and New
jersey, which arereckoncd in among
the doubtful States, are, in our judg-
ment, morally certain to vote the
Republican ticket. But as there has
been no election in New Jersey since
enfranchiscment, to demonstrate the
fact, Of which we are fully convinced,
that the State is still radical, and as
New Jersey elected Democratic
Governor In the recent canvass, al
though choosing at the same time II
Republican Legislature, we have re-
moved them from the list Of Repub-
lican States. We believe they will
come back with victorious colors,
and demand their rightful place.
There are other States i'm this doubt.
full column which may be shown in
the progress Of the canvass to be
wrongly classified. But as it stands
the Republican candidate will have
,forty-seren more votes than are nee
essary for his election. Give the
Democracy every doubtful State and
Ne,o York IN altditio,a, and its candi-
date will still be defeated by % cleo
toral votes. The probability is that
Gen. Grant, if the nominee of the
National Republican Convention,
will receive scarcely less than tcO
hundred and .Giy electoral votes, and
a popular majority of hundreds Of
thousands.
And that shrewd political weather.
vane, the New York Herald, has a
long editorial on the Republican
malcontents and their proposition to
help the Democracy beat Grant with
renagede Republican. The Herald
says that every one of these anti
Grant Republicans is a disappointed
oilice-expectant or office-seeker; that
every man of them would have been
this day, most likely, crying up Gen
eral Grant to the seventh heaven,
had he only given them and each Of
them the Office or Offices asked for or
expected. 1t says: "These Republi-
can malcontents singly or combined
can only muster corporal's guard
of followers against General Grant,
and they know it," In conclusion,
the Herald says: "There never was n
clearer case in advance than the re-
election of General Grant"

THE IOWA VOTER.


Following the census Of 1870 will
be reapportionment of Represent
atives. A bill was reported at the
last session Of Congress which, we
presume, will be taken upand passed
at the coming session. According TO
this bill, the House Of Represents
tives will consist of $50 members.
As the number of electors of Presi-
dent and Vice President is equal TO
the whole number of Senators and
Representatives, it follows that there
will be 81 electoral votes cast in the
next Presidential canvass. OF this
number, lis will be required to
choose President. The party or
candidate which can secure that
number of electoral votes will be the
triumphant party or candidate in the
next national contest. Premisingi its
figures with the foregoing state
ments, the st. Louis DemOcrot, Of a
recent date, expresses its conviction
that the result by States will be, as
shown by the following tables:

A Young Man Makes Two Attempts UpoI

A Young Man Makes Two Attempts Upon
His Life.
About 10 o'clock last night young maH, ap-
parently about % or 30 years OF age went into
drinking saloon on Lombard street, fellow
Tenth, and called for glass of ale 1t was
given him, when, without a word of warning,
he drew from his pocket two-ounce phial,
which, it was subsequently, ascertained, con-
tanned laudanum, and poured the contents into
the glass. Before he could be prevented he had
swallowed the ale. Word was at once conveyed
TO Lieutenant Flaherty, of the Fifth Police dis
trict, who fastened to the place and had the
rash man conveyed to aneighboring drug store to
await the arrival of stretcher. While in the
store he fell into a stupor and in this condition
he was removed to the station-house. physi-
clan was called in, and by tie aid of pump
the deadly narcotic was removed from his
stomach. On being restored to conscious
ness he was searched, and after being deprived
of everything (even to his suspenders) that
could allow of his repeating his attempt at self
destruction, he was locked up in one of the
cells. Notwithstanding all these precautions,
he again essayed to "shuffle off this mortal
coil, and had it not been for a timely discovery
he would have succeeded. Some time near
daylight the turnkey, suspectng something
wrong, went to the cell of the unfortunate man,
and there found him suspended from the bars
over his cell door. He had torn his shirt into
strips, and thus made rope with which he
made this second attempt upon his life. Life
was nearly extinct, but he was Immediately cut
down, and by the application of the proper
restoratives was restored to consciousness. He
gives the name of Max Degraw, and his home
as New York. He assigns as a reason for taese
repeated attempts upon his life the fact of his
having spent $50, 900 since 1865, and that he is

marked New York, August IL, 1870, and ad-
dressed to him at Boston, Massachusetts, a

one of its pages:-"W. H. & J. E. Miller, No. S04
Bleecker street, New York. Please notify them
of my death. l have lived long enough. No
make living. Send photographs to them"
After the second attempt guard was set over
him. He upbraided the officers for preventing
him from destroying his life, which he states
has become burden to him. The Mayor has
his case under advisement, and it is probable
that he will be sent to an insane asylum
