Tho Conspiracy Unrei,.ng.


Tho oniceholders have succeeded n
packing the delegations TO the PhilaGc.-
phia Convention so rs to- control the ac-
ton of tLat body, it IS now in orGer to
take measures :ormauagiug The election.
rs ono OF. the pro!im.nari5g 20 tLis end,
Senator Kellogg, Of Leuis;auia, has in
troduced biz to amend the Eutovco-
mont act SO as to place the ballot boxea
in nearly every part OF the country I'M
der the charge Of men appointed by tie
Federal authorities.
We learn from the Eow Eorl, SIN THAI
the bill provides that in any Congres-
aionl district whore there is to be an
election for Representative or Delegate
to Congress, on the application OF any
two citizens, the. Judge OF tha Circuit
Couit Of the United States shall appoint
two Supervisors Of Election for each vo-
ting. The bill provides that these Su-
pcrvisors shall be of different political
parties; but this provision that can be
very easily evudei, is probablyinsertsd
to give pretence of fairness to the
measure. As in great majority Of the
States the State election is to take place
on the same day as the Presidential
election, it is evident that the purpose
OF this bill is to give to the oGiccholders
al! over the country the power of mani
putting the popular vote in the manner
which has been so successfully adopted
by e2s- Gov Clayton, Of Arkansas, and OK
Gov. Davis of Texas,
But this is not all. Whenever an cleo
ton for Representative to Congress is
to occur, this bin gives the United States
Marshal Tor the district il which such
Congressional district is situated power
to appoint as many special deputy mar
shals as he sees fit to station 1T each vo-
ting precinct, who shall have absolute
power to arrest without process any per-
son or persons whom they mpy think
proper to accuse of fraudulent voting or
oI @H'n'i@sag 10 commit any of the acts
or offences prohibited by the Enforce
ment net, or any laws of the United
States. In short, the bill proposes on
the day Of the Presidential election to
put every voting precinct in the United
States where IL Representative for Con-
gressis to DO voted for under the absolute
control of irresponsible supervisors and
'speciab dlepaties soloctedb by oiiceholdors
't5T c,sTry thouelsetion, and to give these
fellows authority to arrest and imprison.
without process of law anybody whom
they may choose o,.ccuse of attempting,
O. intending to violate any law.
The conspiracy is beginning to de-
yelop itself. Tho action Of Congress on
this bill VIII be awainted with interest.

Wanted 5000.

Little incidents in the lives and his
tories of great men are always interest
ing. Not long after the commencement
of the war end shortly after Camp Den
nision was established as rendezvous
for United States soldics, there appeared
one day at Branch Hill, a little station
on the Nfihrni Railroad, gentleman from
Galena, Illinois. His 1iame was u. s.
Grant-the same gentleman who is now
President Of the United States .
b Immediately after arriving at Branch
Hitl,, hs inquired for and visited Captain
Gin, an old, acqpaintqpce and an army
coPp1Griaidde IL 3fexieo. After few tt5 words
OF inquiry .qs to the health and proasperi-
ty 81 his SO Old friend, he stated that the
object Of his Visit was to borrow $500 Of
Captain Gin. and to ask his assistance
in obtaining for him Grant permission
to start drinking booth or saloon at
the new military camp, whore, with that
amount Of money and such saloon, he
could clear at least $500 week. Being
somewhat too well acquainted with
Grant, Captain Gill declined to furnish
the money for tho enterprise. and so the
saloon scheme went mp.

DETERMINATION Of lThent.


T-pon this subieet the report OF The sta
t;.,ir,I bpreop of the dcpartmcut Of AZ
riculture contains an a.ticle which has
many good suggestions ON the culture Of
wheat. The article recognizes ornsid-
erabIe deterioration of wheat in very q uar-
ter, and while attempting 20 account for
this, it enleavors to suggest means BY
which wheat culture may be kept from
.further deterioration. Mr.. Dodge, the
S,atistician, in handling this subject,
seems to attribute the dminu,ion Of the
yio.d in wheat, per acre, to the iujudicious
use Of barn yard manure. lie says:

ton in tho wheat growing States. Find
