LATER FROM THE ATLANTIC STATES.

CoLUMBus, O., Oct. 14.-The Demo-
cratic State Central Committee issued
an address this morning to the D ,moc-
racy Of Ohio, reproducing them for the
apathy shown in the late election. and
urging them to repair the mischief
done by the rallying to Greeley in
November. The address says: "The
result of last Tuesdays election show !,
that Ohio was lost by the failure to poll
the usual Democratic vote. Notifying
as is the fact, justice to the Liberal
Republicans and the earnest desire to
retrieve the misfortune requires of us
to declare it. In our chief towns the
Liberal strength exceeded our most
sanguine estimates. In the country it
fell short, but the aggregate of the
Liberals in the cities and country who
voted our State ticket, added to the
Democratic vote of 1868, would have
overcome the Republican majority at
that election and the negro vote COM
bined, and given us victory" The
committee indulge in some hopeful
figuring on Grecley's chances even
without the votes of Pennsylvania and
Ohio, and close with n pathetic appeal
to Democrats who failed to vote on
Tuesday to come out at the Presidential
election.
YANcKroN, Dakota, Oct. 9.--The cleo
ton yesterday in The Territory was n
personal contest. The Republican vote
was divided between two candidates
Judge Bookings and Col. Moody.
The returns received up to s o'clock
tonight insure the election of Armstrong
Dem by n small plurality. He, being
personally popular, received the votes
of many Republicans. The combined
Republican vote would have beaten
him nearly two to one.
INDIANAPOLIS, Oct. 9.-Tho Republic
can Central Committee figure the ma
jority, by actual official returns from
AZ counties and partial returns with
the estimated majority from the balance
of that State, at 22S for Brown (Rep.
The Democratic Committee claim net
gain on returns from SIS counties on
the vote of 1868, which, with the partial
returns and estimated maiorities from
the balance of the State, will elect
Hendricks by 1000 majority. The
vote is so close that it may require the
official count to determine the result.
The Democrats are jubilant.
1870 =. M.-The latest returns re-
ceived tonight show Democratic gain
on the State ticket and indicate the
election of Hendritks; by small ma
jority. The Republicans gain two Con-
gressmen and probably lose one.

NEW BRANCH 0r INDUSTRY.

And feeljust rs happy rs big sun;iower,
That b rvs and bends In the breczes;
With my heart ~ light AS the wind that blows
The leaves from, on the trccses."
-AnYssIxr,N ASrnEs,.
Ep. STANDARD visitors to your
late fair may have seen some enormous
specimens Of sunfowers, but passed
them by without dreaming that they
could be made the source of an I'M
portant industry in your midst. It is
well known that they grow luxuriantly
and thrive upon very paucid, gravelly
soil where no other crop would pay the
expense of blowing. The seeds should
be planted late in April or the first week
in May, in hills about four feet apart,
and about four seeds in each hill. They
should be harvested in October and
pressed about two weeks after they are
gathered. They produce an oil which
for all purposes of painting is fully
equal to the best of linseed oil, and ex-
cellently adopted to purposes of light
and fabrication. After the oil has been
expressed, tie "mash'' or "scrap-cake, +"
as it is sometimes called, makes splen-
did feed for cattle and hogs, far superior
for the former to cracked wheat or bar
ley. Mixed with chopped straw or
hay, this scrap-cake" will be found
the most available fodder for stall-feed-
ing purposes.
When rode in from the railroad to
Olympia, and saw the great expanse of
gravelly land lying between this place
and Hodgdon's, thought surely there
is no excuse for the large number of
deserted homesteads that met. There
are hundreds of acres there that will
not produce five bushels of wheat to
the acre, that will readily yield eighteen
to twenty-five bushels of sunhower seed.
Let an experiment be made next spring
by those who have gravel lands Let
them put in, say five acres in sunHowers
and try the experiment. All 1 can see
ut the Fair convinces me that tho sue
cess of the undertaking will be beyond
a doubt. Should it prove failure, the
loss of the use of the land will not
amount to much, while if it proves sue
cessful, it will open and develop new
industry for farmers as well as create
an article of export for the Territory.
Let some man who does not blindly
refuse to leave the beaten track of home
industry, try the suggestion. It can-
not entail any very great loss, and it
may prove source of great profit to
those who have the pluck to take hold
of it, CoR1NrH1AN.
