The election in West Virginia takes place to-
day. The chief thing involved in it is the adop-
tion or rejection of new state constitution.
There will be voting for state officers, also; but
the election of such officers will be void, if the
proposed constitution shall be rejected The
provision disqualifying colored men for holding
office, will be voted on separately. The New
York Tribune hopes it will be voted down, be-
cause the Greeley party would be injured in
the canvass, if it should be adopted. But Mr.
Greeleys supporters in that state must he held
responsible for it, in any case. They contriyed
it; they submitted it 10 the people; they will
vote for it. 1t shows what they wouid do ifthey
could, what they are ready to do whenever they
shall have opportunity If rejected to-day, it
will be because the republicans are able to mus
ter force enough TO vote it down; but how can
this relieve Mr.. Greeley's supporters from the
responsibility of contriving it, advocating it,
and voting for it? 1t is their measure. Should
it fail, the credit Of defeating it will belong to
republicans.
The republicans have no candidates for the
state offices. Many Of them will vote for Mr..
Jacob, the present governor, who is an anti
Greeley democrat and will be supported by dem
oerats of his sort. Against him is regular
democratic Greeley candidate. There will be
voting for members of congress; but, as this is
not the time prescribed by law for electing con-
gressmen in that state, it is likely that any cleo
tions of members of congress that may be effect
ed to-day will be treated as illegal; and, should
another election of congressman take place at
the time fixed by law, there will be peculiar
contest for seats, which, however, the committee
on elections would not find difficult. The inter
est in this election will be confined to reports OF
the voting on the constitution, and to the voting
for governor.

The growing strength of the Bianton Duncan
movement annoys the Greeley organs extreme
ly. The New York World is especially dissats-
fed, and speaks with contempt of the persons
whose names are identified with the movement.
Among these it enumerates Blanton Duncan,
Brick Pomeroy, Burr, Stephens, Mosby, and
cold Henry A Wise" The proper course for
democrats who have no choice between Grant
and Greeley, it says, is to stay at home on cleo
ton day. If they prefer Grant, let them vote
for him, or, if they prefer Greeley, let them vote
for him; if they are Indifferent they should not
vote at all. They have no right to get up a con-
vention, calling it democratic, and nominate
a new candidate for the presidency. The
party already has candidate, and
is bound by the action at Baltimore All
true democrats recognize this, and every demo-
crat in the country of any eminence or influence
supports the Baltimore nominations. Thus the
World raves, quietly ignoring all the time the
fact that Charles O'Conor, for whom it has been
accus omed to think no words of eulogy could
be too strong, and who is certainly democrat
Of eminence, if not of influence, makes no secret
Of his contempt for the nomination of Greeley
nor of his sympathy with the Louisville move
ment, and his purpose to vote for its candidate.
Is the World prepared to stigmatize him as it
does Blanton Duncan and his other co-operators
as traitor and mutineer?

HELIGoLAND.-A correspondent of the Lon
don Telegraph writes as follows:
" Everything about Heligoland is fresh and
quaint and unconventional The rocky plateau,
from which it springs sheer up TO an average
of Il hundred and sixty feet spreads away from
the base of its cliffs for many hundred yards at
so slight decliyity that no vessel drawing
eight feet of water can safely approach its coast
within distance Of half a mile; and the inan-
clal resources of the island, although they have
achieved an almost magical development under
the wise and beneficent rule of Col MaXSe, are
not equal to defraying the cost of construction
OF Il pier or landing stage, Il thousand yards
long, which could hold its own against the ter
rlhe storms that frequently assail this ancient
Frisian settlement. Consequently passengers
are fain to be conveyed ashore in row-boats, of
which small tiOtlla starts from the Unterland
so soon as the battery fronting Government
house signals the arrival of a Hamburg or
Bremen packet. The hardy Norsemen'
land you safely on the beach; and
then, as there is not a horse or
donkey on the isiand-there is but one cow. and
she is the governors private property THE
same sturdy arms that have pulled you DER
the stormy wave sling your trunks to 4 stout
pole, and, if you are for the Oberand, carry
them up the one hundred and nnety-three steps
that connect the summit of the rock with the
lower town. The morning after your arrival
you get up early, eager for a bath in the spark
ling blue sea that seems TO be Iippled over with
million smiles of SalutatiOn. If you fancy
that, to crafty your longing, all you have to do
is to stroll down to the beach and get into a
bathing machine, your illusion will soon be dis
PEELED Into a boat must you jump, from Il
movable stage on wheels; nor can YOU reach
the Dune, where rows of gaily painted green
and white machines await You, under half an
hours sail in the most favorable weather, or
forty minutes row on a dead calm day. Lazy
and squeamish people regard this compulsory
voyage with horror and CONSERVATION; but it is,

The Extent of England.

Hon. James Brooks, in letter
from Calcutta, speaks as follows :
England, once more, one eyerlast-
ing England That little sea girt
island has not only girdled the great
isles of the world, and put its stamp
upon them, but, here am /, in the
portals of great British East India
Empire, the very magnitude of which
200, 900, 900 of people, native and Brit
ish in the Indian Government prop
er, under the British flag! Satiated
with the very vastness Of dominion
here, the British Crown declines
more land, and all the population it
wants--nay more, too, and refuses,
actually, to be bothered with yet
more! Think of the revenues and
expenditures of this British Indian
Empire, $500, 900, 900 of our money,
incoming and outgoing, each year
Think of its immense army, 320, DOC
in all, of whom 10000 are European
soldiers, the Others, Indians, under
British officers, all! Think of u
Christian Government over 5000,
900 of Hindoos, 5000, 900 of Mussul-
mans, l., 900, 900 of Aboriginal North
ingarians, 1900, 900 of Buddhists, Re-
What medly of humanity to rule
What mixture OF laws, rs well as
of creeds, ana of tongues, and Ian.
guages! (There are sixteen, or more
! languages that Il British ruler ought
to learn.) What vast trade, some
S250,000 of imports, and over $780,
00O, 900 Of exports The little Eng

vust territory, and these millions o

canoe, when contrasted with this

now MANUFACTURING PAYS.
what one COTTON r.s,ory VIII, no.

From the Augusta Constitutionalist.l
AS an example Of what can be done
at home, we have only to point to
the great cotton goods manufactory
in our city. No institution of the
kind in the country, perhaps, has
prospered more than this since the
war;. With the exception of about
two hundred shares, the capital stock
of the company is owned entirely in
Augusta, and its dividends, there
fore, go into the pockets Of our citi-
zens. The factory employs five hun
dred hands, who earn, Oh All average,
twenty-five dollars per month, be-
sides getting their house rent free.
In the last six years, beginning July
l, 1865, aud ending July /, 1871,
one million seventy thousand three
hundred aud seventy-two dollars and
seventy-two cents have been paid out
by this corporation for labor alone.
The superstition is that nearly If not
quite all, of this large sum has been
spent in the city, thus putting more
money in circulation, and adding to
the material prosperity of Augusta.
1t is computed that there are two
non-workers dependent upon each la
borer, 80 that the factory really sup
ports about fifteen hundred persons,
and not small portion OF the popu-
lation of the city. Fifteen thousand
and forty EIGHT spinGles are now in
the factory, but we understand 1t is
probable that If the canal be enlarg-
ed, giving greater amo unit of WI ter
power, that fifteen thousand spindles
mi I'm. u l., <k..l
thirty thousand. These additional
fifteen thousand spindles will, In that
event, be put a part In one of the
present buildings and a part in new
building which will be erected for the
purpose.
When two-thirds cotton and one
third labor is required In the manu-,
facture of goods, the South has the
advantage, and this Is the case with
all the commoner cotton fabrics. The
cotton Is Immediately ut hand, with.
out having the expense of heavy
freight charges added to the original
cost. The ratio of the finer goods,
however, is the other way, requiring
two-thirds labor and one-third cotton
In their manufacture, and the South,
for the present, at any rate, cannot
afford to compete with the North In
that line. The cotton goods manu-
featured by the Augusta factory are
In demand in New York, and we be-
lieve sell better than those of the
same grade manufactured by the
Northern factories. They' are strong
and durable, and in their line cannot
be surpassed.
! The following is statement of the
amount paid out by the company
during the last six years, beginning
July l, 1865, and ending July, 1871
for labor, taxes, incidental expenses,
repairs and dividends Labor, 81,
l070, 272. "; taxes, S257 AIS. o.; expen.
SEES, Sl53,931. 92; repairs, $50, 929.2l;
dividends, $7l0,0O00. OF the taxes,
about $50, 900 was on cotton, when the
nefarious law imposing the tax was
Fin operation. The remainder com.
-tpsized the ordinary Federal, State
county and city taxes. A larger
amount than the capital stock of the
company, which is $500, 900, has beer
paid out in six years as dividends to
the stock holders.

PLANTING POTAToEs.-Dr Hex
amer of New York, in q result of an
experiment of planting the potato in
seventeen different ways, found that
best results were given from one large
potato, whole, in each hill; the next
best from two large half potatoes cut
lengthwise; next the seed end of a
large potato; next from medium
sized potato planted whole; the
smallest from small halfpotatoes. A
medium potato he plants whole
large ones cut In half and the largest
in four pieces, each lengthwise, al
ways taxing care to select his best
and sundest potatoes for seed.
J.T. Warder, of Ohio, in an exper-
iment with Harrisons, found that
large seed cut in halves the most sale.
able potatoes. He says: "This ex-
pertinent, in connection with one
made last year, would induce me to cut
good saleable- sized potatoes for seed
in preference to planting them whole;
and in years of scarcity to use small
potatoes, with care not to plant them
too closely together"
Professor Daniels of the Wisconsin
Agricultural College, in an expert
ment found that cut seed gave more
from the same weight of seed, except
where small potatoes were used, than
whole ones did. The whole potatoes
produced the most vigorous plants
those cut, the least.

Too MEAN TO LIvE.-We have
heard recently of n number Of in.
stances where ministers have been
sent for to go eight or then miles In
the country to celebrate the rites of
matrimony, and when the ceremony
was over they were not so much as
thanked for their labor. Now, we
wish to say to young men who con-
template committing matrlmony,
that In our opinion, no gentleman
would ask q minister to marry him
for nothing. 1.-The is not able to pay
the minister fee of five, ten or
twenty dollars, especially when he
leaves his business aud rides five or
ten miles In the cold and wet, he is
not able to take care of wife, and
ought not to have one. If he is able
and too penurious to 10 it, his wife
ought to leave him instanter, for he
will be too stingy to give her enough
to eat. Occasionally one of these
poor devils comes to us for hand
some notice of his marriage, and
thinks hard of us for not putting him
and his wife free ofcharge. tits not the
value of bottle of wine that we ap-
husband thinks enough OF his wife
to want the world to know that he
won her.
Ministers are requested not to send
us wedding notices where the BRIDE
groom has failed to pay them fol-
their services. We don't want the
names of such men to appear in our
columns.-Brandon Republican.
