IHR DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULruRE-Ns
'dre as Public Instruct0r.-Judge Frederick
Watts, Commissioner of Agriculture, has re-
turned from a few weeks vacation, mostly spent
IN the western states. He delivered the annual
address at the fair of the Minnesota State Agri-
cultural Society, at st. Paul, on the 18th ultimo
and speaks in glowing terms of the great west
and its agricultural capabilities. Since Judge
impro vements have been made on the old method
of conducting the Department OF Agriculture.
That these reforms were desirable and that they
have tended to increase the efficiency of the de-
knowledge is attested by correspondents In ali
sections of the country. Heretofore the annual
report Of the department. has always been about
year behind. This year il was out on the LIST
of August--three months earlier than last year,
and about i've months in advance OF previous
years-and every member Of Congress supplied
with copies during the Congressional recess.
The distribution OF seeds has never been 20
promptly made; every section has received them
in time for use and greater SYSTEM In their dis
tribption has been observed. The seeds have
reached the people in great measure through
agricultural clubs and statistical correspondents.
The list Of the former now embraces 2, 200 diff
ieaen. examinations, and the Propriety OF OF
seeds will at once be recognized. The range of
distribution has been extended, and rye, buck
wheat, Kentucky bluegrass and other seeds
not heretofore distributed at all, or IL 50, only
IN small quantities, have been sent out to all
sections adapted to their growth. Special seeds.
such as the Tahiti cotton, an earlv variety Of
have been judieially distributed. The small
mcs'in seed bags formerly made outside of the
department. are now made by machine In the
cost The above brief sketch OF the operations
OF the department does not comprehend, IL will
he observed, the work OF the botanical division,
the department. In both of these improv smeut
have been made. which greatly enhances their

THE straight-out Democracy, met at
Louisville, on Tuesday, to nominate can
ddates for President and Vice President.
The convention was large and harmoni-
Gus, but as regards the nomination Of Il
ticket seems to have had but one string
to its bow. A letter was read from
Chas. O'Conor, positively declining to
allow the use of his name as candidate
for the Presidency Notwithstanding
this he was on Tuesday, nominated by
reclamation, John Quincy Adams, of
Massachusetts, receiving the nomination
for Vice President. Mr. O'Conor i'm
mediately tclegraphed pcrcmptory de-
clination The convention adjourned
until next day, and then unanimously
decided to insist upon Mr.. O'Conor's ac-
ceptancc He again signified his willing
ness to aid the cause in any way except
to become its candidate. The conven-
ton stubborn as before, refused to make
another nomination and adjourned sire
die on Wednesday. Thus the matter
stands, the convention declaring that
O'Conor, is its candidate and he as
stoutly avcring that lie is no such
thing. Doubtless he will qualify If cleo

DEMOCRATIC CONGRESSIONAL NOMINA-
TIoN.-Both wings Of the confederate
Democracy held conventions in Dubuque,
on Wednesday, to place in nomination
candidates for Representative in Con-
gross and District Elector. Since the
cause of Greeley in the country at large
has begun to develop weakness at such
fearful rate, and the hope of federal office
through Greeley has taken the form Of
dissolving views, it has been forcgone
conclusion that the original Democracy
would claim and take the nomination for
Congress in this district, where, with the
aid Of Republican descrtcrs, they have
faint glimmcr of hope Of success. That
they were able to carry out this pro-
gramme was demonstrated Oh Wednes-
day. John T. Stoneman, Of Clayton
county, the competitor of Mr.. Donnan
two years ago, was nominated for Con
gress on the fourth ballot The barren
Hoilliualioil loI LlcCtoi Was CuoG do u
crust to S. p. Adams, which, considering
that the sole object OF his present politi
cll position was the nomination for Con
grcss, was not much short of an insult
Mr.. Stoneman is a gentleman of fair abil-
i5y and uneXceptional character, but his
record as politician is full rs objection
able as any man whom the Democracy
could have presented. That he will be
elected over SO strong man as Mr..
Donnan has proved himself to be, is not
among the probabilities. Indeed, we
think that if the latter could have had
the privilege of naming his opponent,
TIE result would not have been different.

Vermont.

The election for State officers in Yer
mont on Tuesday, resulted as glorious
Republican Victory, the majority being
about 10000. The State Scuate Is
unanimously Republican andsthe House
ten to one Republican. The gain over
the majority of 1870 will, be from 5000
to 5000. Thus the 'stidal wave" OF
Greelcyisin breaks upon the base OF the
Green Mountains, most insignificant
ripple. The significant reduction Of
Republican majorities so confidently pre-
dicted by the Democratic press are not
visible The result in Vermont like that
in North Carolina shows that Horace
Greeley adds no strength to the Demo
cratic party. His strength is weakness
growing weaker every day. The cleo
tion in Maine next week will tell the
same story.

Ex-senator DooLITTLE is ont with
tardy answer to the charges against him
in come elton with the Conatty cotton
spcculation lie does not deny the au-
thcnticity of the letters produced, but
characterizes as "unqualificdly false the
statement that he sold his official infiu-
ence to Conatty for a share in the cotton
spcculation. lie admits inferentially that
Conatty agreed to give him one-fourth Of
the profits of the cotton job, which, as he
was under no obligation to Doolittle-ac.
cording to the explanation of the latter
was il rather singular and generous prop
osition on the part of Conatty. The
whole matter resolves itself into this
that if Mr.. Doolittlc is relieved from the
accusation of criminality, he must accept
the position of fool for writing the let
tiers in the Conatty correspondence and
leaving them in the hands of the latter.

Republican friend, d. D. IIoldridge,no mat
ter how yindictiyc his resentment, could
have wished him greater purgatory than
that which lie yisibly endured on the oc
casion Of his speech at the Court House.
last Saturday evening. He had sought
to evade the intiiction, protesting against
the announcement Of his name as one OF
the speakers of the evening, but his DEM
ocratc managers were incXorabie and he
conld do nothing bat succnmb. Pilloried
on that platform, before that audience,
and required to attempt to give reasons
for dcsclting Republican principles, when
he was conscious that he had no reason
to give worthy the consideration of sen
sible and honest men, he was indeed
pitiable object and received the commits
seration of all present. His speech,
judging it by the comments of both par
ties, and charactcrizing it in the mildest
terms consistent with truth, was the YER
lest piece of twaddle and fustian ever ad-
dressed to an audience in this city. The
speaker is not fool, but on this occasion
| was out of his element and conscious OF
it; and his rambling, disjointed, peurile
uttcranccs were as much an inflction to
him as to his audience. No better illus
tration of the strait in which Mr.. Hold
ridge found himself can be offered than
the fact that he attempted to justify sc.
| cession, and excuse the atrocities of the
Ku.Klux. This was in logical accord
with his present position and affiliations,
but of its appropriateness and consistency
in the mouth of any man who has been
Republican, we leave our readers to
judge.
