The letter of Governor Brown to Hon.
J. X. Doolittle, accepting the nomination
for Vice President by the Baltimore Con-
vcntion, is as follows:
EXECUTIVE DEPARTMENT,
JEFFERSON CITY, Aug. 8, 1872.
Gentlemen OF the Committee:
/ have the honor to acknowledge the re-
ceipt of your communication advising me
that had been unanimously nominated as
candidate for the Vice Presidency of the
United States, by the Democratic National
Convention at Baltimore.
For this mark of confidence on the part of
so large representative body of my fellow
citizens, | cannot too deeply express my
gratitude. The distinction is one which |
feel to be, in great measure, undescrved
where SO many more suitable could have
been found; and yet that feeling will render
me doubly solicitous, should your action be
confirmed, to discharge the duties of that
high place with fidelity to your trust, with
devotion to the public interest, and with in
flexible resolution to prove not unworthy of
such choice.
The fact that it reposes, also, upon the
declaration of principles affirmed by the
Liberal republicans at Cincinnati, and pro
claimed, without amendment, by the Demo
cratic party at Baltimore, gives assurance
that in this combined expression there Is
sought only the deliverance OF the nation
from present great peril to its peace and
liberties. To that end all minor considera-
tions have been subordinated, and an Illus
tration presented to the country of unseiish
patriotism rather tn an any sticking for par
usan Idyantage-which would convince all
Of the perfect sincerity of this movement. 1t
has involved no surrender on either part of
any former convictions. 1t has not been
negotiated nor bargaiucd. Its origin was
from the people.
Though differing in the past ON some is
sues of great magnitude, Vet now that they
are settled, there is a hearty concurrence
between US all upon the vital question
agitatiu@ the public mind. What con
duet of national affairs that Involves, your
Convention has well set forth in its plat
torn, and its true accord with Democratic
ideas that guided our earlier Administrations
is the best guarantee that it will restore equal
rights, tranquil development, and constitu-
tionai rule.
Permit me, also, gentlemen, through you,
American citizen. [volume] (Canton, Miss.) 1864-1890, 1872-08-24

to express my thanks to the great masses of
your party who have since ratified your
action with such signal unanimity, and to
say to them that in accepting their nomina
ton, do so believing there is nothing in
honor or in conscience that should prevent
the most cordial cooperation, henceforth,
in behalf of the policies presented In con
abiding, it is proper to state that severe
illness has interviewed since the reception of
your communication, which has delayed this
reply until nv recovery and return home.
with very great respect, yours, truly,
ISigreul b. GRAFT BROWN.

The political paralysis which has affected
our National Administration reaches into the
management of our State affairs, and COM
promises and debilitates our local officers.
We have only to look at our county admins
tratious, conducted by those adherin@ to the
political fortunes of the President, to witness
a decentralization appalling and degrading.
The remedy is in independent thought and
action. Ii is by throwing Off the yoke and

mnistration could only fully be realized
when the present incumbents were removed
from power. Some one in the audience
here raised the cry of "Hurrah for Grant"
which gave the speaker the opportun-
ity of raising hearty laugh by say
ing that the number of Germans who would
raise that cry would be so scarce before lorg
that n specimen should be preserved, by all
means.)
If the necessary reforms could not be
compli.hed inside of the Republican party,
it must be accomplished outside of that par
ty. The people of the South want to be-
come good citizens of the country and they
only desire to be saved from robbers rs OIL
Gals. The question of settling southern
affairs is solved hy the election of a man to
the Presidency who has been ALWAYS identi-
fed with Southern feeling and impulse, and
each ones neart will warm within him when
t,Iey can all once more he united by brother
" ties. Boutwell's assertion thai the bloody
chasm must he first filled by new guarantees,
was the spirit which animates the present
Administration, but the people of the South,
in proposing to vote for Greeley, gave ample
guarantee of their love of country and de-
sire for peace. A New YORK meeting de
manded that the Republican party would
only then be satisfied with the southern
guarantee for peace when the reelection of
Grant should be advocated by the South.
If the South ohtained an orderly govern
ment it would have to be an honest one, and
the Ku- kluN cry would at once cease.
In North Carolina the officials endeavored
to continue to foster the ill-feeling of the
war times, so that they might rule through
discord and openly boosted of having money
to buy votes with. In closing, the speaker
called attention to the reason why the Ger
mans had emigreted from their Fatherland,
and all through this land he had always
found the mass of the Germans for the right,
and as they had once fiocked to the standard
of the country in time of war, so they would
at this time, in the time of peace, vote for
the right.
Throughout the delivery of his speech,
Senator Schurz was frequently interrupt
ed by the cheers and applause of his
heal ers, and a larger or more enthusiast
| tic crowd was never seen inside of Turner
Hall before, and plainly indicates the way
in which our German citizens will vote
next November.

Stacking cram.

Bad stacking is the cause of most of
the really damaged grain in the market.
To stack well, follow these directions:
Lay your stack on as level ground as it
is possible to find, say on the top of a lit
tie hill, which top is generally Hat. Com
mence in the middle, setting up the bun
dies as for "shock;' build all around
until you get as large Il bottom as is desir-
ed Now commence on the outside, lay
ers, having the butts of the bundles about
even with the bottom, or a little further
out if the grain is damp. When this row
is formed, lay the second with the butts
four to six inches of the bands of the first
! row, and so on until you get filled up. If
you find the middle getting too full, lay
them in little further. Here let me eau
| ton all against filling up the middle of
the stack with loose or broken bundles;
| if you have such, bind them up, or lay
them on the outside, for the middle of the
! stack must be solid. Don't walk any
| further toward the outside of the stack
than is really necessary. When you
| come to topping out the stack, be careful
to keep the middle well filed up and the
outside as even as you can; but mind you
don't get as much as one bundle with the
heads the lowest; if such places occur, lay
some bundles on the inside, filling up the
hollow before laying the outside ones, fol-
one bundle pitching the wrong way often
lets in a great deal of water. In finishing
! when you have no more middle to fill
keep in the centre, laying bundle wher
ever the butt will be the lowest, unit
completely topped out. Force long
nicely trimmed stake down into the stack
to keepthe wind from blowing off the top

THE Newark IN. j. Courier says:
"The editor of the Millville Republican,
while endeavoring to extinguish a fire in
that place, was robbed by some inhuman
wretch of nine dollars-the savings of a
lifetime" Why will editors hoard up
money and carry it about with them that
way? This Millville man should have in
vested his savings in railroad stock, or
United States bonds, or fast horses, or
something that way, as frugal business
man would have done. We couldn't have
pitied him single pity, if he had been
robbed of thirteen dollars and half-the
