About fifty substantial buildings are in course of
construction at Ashland at the present writing Car
penters in demand
Every mine-both copper and iron-on Lake Su-
perior is to be worked this year. The Lake Superior
region begins to show sigus of prosperity.
Efforts being made to daily mail be-
tween this place and Superior Success to the move
ment. In all probability mail will be carried via the
w c. r. R. year from next fall, which will give us
shorter and decidedly quicker mail facilities with the
East
Work will commence on the Iron Range within a
few weeks, and got out this summer, enough, at
least, to ship some here by the first train of cars
that will to Penoka, when celebrate the open
ing of the road to that place. About twenty compa
nies will be at work there within year. SO says one
who knows.

In ten years time Northern Wisconsin will
be gridironed, and crossbarred with rail
ways, its waste places teeming with popu-
lation, and its valleys lined with villages
The Journal also says of a gentleman
intimately concerned in the developments
at Ashland, and vicinity:
We learn that L. F. Leopold has started for Negau-
nee with intention of securing gang of miners with
which to commence operations at the Penoka Iron
Range The development of the most valuable deposit
of iron ore is to commence and we wish Mr.. Leo
pod perfect success.

Foreign journalistsand especially those of the Do
minion compliment the enterprise and energy shown
in this country in the construction last year of nearly
seven thousand miles of railway. "a mere statement
of the fact appears tame" says the Monetary Times,
"but when we reflect that this is equivalent to two
lines for the entire distance between Europe and Amer
ca conception may be had of the vast progress
denoted by the figures. At $4,000 per mile these
have cost 5000 0OO oO0!" The estimate is low
European journals look upon such accomplishments as
enormous especially in view of the pecnniary compli
cations which, in almost any other nation, would have
grown of intestine conflict like late un-
pleasantness"
And from the following it appears that
Wisconsin built one-twentieth of the seven
thousand miles of railway constructed in
the Z. S. last year, which is certainly her
full share.
The annual report of the Secretary of the Milwaukee
Chamber of Commerce states that at the close of 1871
there in operation 1888 miles of railway in Wis
consin of which 35p miles built last year; and
that from present indications the number of miles to
be built this year will far exceed those figures.

FRUIT TCULTURE-CONTINUED.

While the Raspberry can be found in
such abundant supplies as at present, grow
ing wild, very few will care to give any at
tention to its cultivation; but the time will
come when by general clearing this supply
will be cut off, and experiments should be
made with different varieties to ascertain
what kinds can be successfully cultivated
here. The wild varieties which grow in
this vicinity, are good in quality, and good
bearers, but are not well adapted to cult
vation on account of their not growing well
in clusters, but spreading all over the
ground.
Plums, which are found in such abun-
dance, and some of them very good, may
be much improved by cultivation and care,
and many new varieties introduced. Ex-
periments thus far, not only here, but IL
other places, go to show that plum trees
taken from the woods, and transplanted in
to gardens or orchards, do not do well
they may live and grow well, but very sci
dom become good bearers Raising trees
from the seed will occupy but little more

Nashville union and American. [volume] (Nashville, Tenn.) 1868-1875, 1872-05-21

The meeting at the Capitol yesterday WIS
entirely too slim an affair to be called a
convention. It looked SO cherries and
forlorn that it made the visitor who peered
in upon its proceedings feel like Person
BulIen when Sut Lovengood turned the
lizards loose in the legs Of the Parsons
pants, Hcold, skeery and uncomfortable. T"
II that was the head of the procession with
which Mr.. Greeley is TO march in this can
vass, the band had as well strike up the
dead march.
We believe there was but one delegate in
the convention from East Tennessee. To
supply the deficiency Judge Gaut, Of this
city, was placed on committee as an East
Tennesseesn. There were two delegates
from Bedford, three or four from Memphis.
Citizens of Nashville comprised the bulk of
the remainder.
Even the Radicals seemed to pity the IN
fortunate affair. But however distressing
the tOut ensemble, the action of the Conven-
ton as contained in their resolutions was
much more moderate and discreet than we
had anticipated from the exciting illusions
Of the press advocates of the meeting. We
win add that if the managers of this little
movement win just simmer down, there is
hope for harmony and the defeat of Grant
in Tennessee by fifty thousand votes.

WHAT GRANT EXPECTS OF DEMO.
Gratis.

Grant appears to be flattering himself
with The idea that in the event of no nomi-
nation by the Baltimore Convention, he
will get as many Democrtic votes as
Greeley viii get Republican votes. The
Washington correspondent Of the Cincin-
nate Enquirer writes, May II: ff-
"Col. Forney arrived in Washington
to-day, and had long Interview with the
President on the political situation. He
found Grant disposed to look on the nomi-
nation Of Greeley as joke, ana found that
be did not believe that, if endorsed by the
Baltimore Convention, he would stand any
chance of an election. Grants idea seemed
10 be that in such an event the Philadel-
phia nominee would get as many Demo-
cratic votes as Greeley would get republican
votes. Col. Forney replied that His
Excellency was mistaken, and insisted that
if Greeley was nominated at Baltimore the
entire Democratic party would support him
and the contest would be a very close one.
The President said his information was
quite the reverse, and for Col. FOrney
not TO allow himself TO be so deceived"
In the event the Baltimore Convention
should not nominate Democratic eandi-
date for President, It would be : strange
freak in any Democrat, and especially a
Southern Democrat, to vote for Grant. BE
went into Office with hypocritical profess
sion in favor of peace, and has continued
the war upon the Southern people through
out his administration. He has sent troops
into South Carolina to arrest the white peo-
pie ofthat State without presentment or in
dictment and without warrant, and has
suspended the great writ Of liberty that
they might the more surely be held in the
clutches Of their oppressors. He has hypo-
critically protested to be in favor Of amnes-
ty, while bis henchmen in Congress have
killed every amnesty bin that has been
offered. And yet this man, with such a
record, expects Democrats to vote for him.
We have too good an opinion of Democrats
to believe them capable Of such an act Of
degradation.

THE POLITICAL PROBABILITIES.

1t is eminently proper before entering
actively upon the Presidential canvass, to
take a survey Of the field that we may, if
possible, forecast the probabilities of the
contest. The electoral vote for President
this year win be considerably greater than
it was in 1868. The number cast then
was 294 Several States not being allowed
blythe Radical authorities to vote), while
under the present apportionment 1t will
reach 357. Many States have increased
their representative votes, and several
States which did not vote in 1868, will now
take part in the election. The following
table viii show the electoral as well as the
popular vote in 1868:
Nashville union and American. [volume] (Nashville, Tenn.) 1868-1875, 1872-05-21

election Of 1858, with only fourteen eIecto
raj votes more than a majority. But in
California (six votes) his majority was but
5l4, and in New Hampshire (fise yotes),
Connecticut (six votes, his entire popular
majority was very small. A loss of one
per cent. Of the Republican vote in thoss
States viii give their electoral votes to
Greeley. This would elect the latter. It
should be remembered that at the time of
the election in November, 1868, the result
was foregone conclusion, and Grants
majority in many States was much greater
than it would have been had the election
not been previously determined by the
States voting in October. This was clearly
shown in Indiana, where the Republican
majority in October was less than 1000,
while month later it was nearly 10000.
Five per cent. Of the Republican vote will
give to Greeley the electoral votes of Penn
sylvania coy, Indiana (l5), Nebraska (3),
Ohio (22), and Wisconsin (10), making II
additional electoral votes for Greeley"
: 1t is very clear that a united opposition
to Grant can CAREFULLY two-thirds of the
electoral votes.
Nashville union and American. [volume] (Nashville, Tenn.) 1868-1875, 1872-05-21
Republican majority.

Republican MAJORITY. l3,Sl3
1t will be seen from this table that the
Democrats gain 127, 400 on the vote of 1858
while the Republicans lose $500; but still
the Democrats go into the contest this year
with majority of 1883 against them.
But the returns do not show as full vote
in the late elections as ought to have been
cast. The question that presents itself now
is, can the majority against the Democrats
be overcome? The Chicago Tribune, the
leading Resublican journal in the North
west, IS quite sure it can by union of the
Democrats and Liberal Republicans. That
paper forecasts the probabilities as follows:
'sThe whole number of electors has been
increased 40, and three States, which had
% votes, did not vote in 1S6S-making Y
additional electoral votes. OF the States
which voted for Grant In 1868, subsequent
elections show that Alabama, Arkansas,
Florida, Louisiana, Missouri, North Caro-
lima, Tennessee and West Virginia, entitled
to 20 ELECTORAL votes, will probably vote
against him. Virginia and Texas, which
did not vote in 186S,and which are entitled
70 ~ votes,will give large majOrities against
MN. The States which in 1868 voted for
seymour, and all of which will probably
vobe LOT Greeley, have 81 votes; showing a
prooaole electoral vote against Grant in
these States as follows:
States voting for Seymour in 1863 81
States not voting in 1868 70
states which nave changed since 1868. -. 10
