GRAPE Ror.-We regret to learn that
the rot prevails to considerable extent
among the vineyards in the vicinity Of the
city. The ConcOrds are more affected we
hear than other varieties, and in some
vineyards they are said to be half de-
stroyed. Singular to say, as reported to
US, the grapes on Wheeling Island, are
wholly free from disease and promise an
unusually fine crop. When the grapes
rot on the Martinsvillc hills and do not on
tue Island, ii would seem that somO other
cause than humid atmosphere would have
to be found to account for this disease,
which Is generally attributed 10 wet
weather.

An American Witness for the
TiChbOrne Case.
A Man in Illinois Who Knows More
Abont Sir Roger than all England

CHICAGO, August 14.-The Tribune
will publish, tomorrow, the following
letter from John Crowley, a resident OF
Springfield, Ills, TO gentleman OF this
city:
"DEAR sR:-I sec there is an English
man, q Mr. WhAlley, member OF Parlia.
ment, arrived in New York for abe pur.
pose Of collecting money in the Itch.
borne case in England. want you, II
you please, 10 find out by some means
where this Mr.. Whalley Ia stopping In
New York, and then to write 10 him and
tell him he can get more Information
from me about TiChbOrne than he can get
in all England, If he wants II. Please
don't neglect attending to this at once"
The gentleman 10 whom the letter Is ad'
dressed says Crawley Is 8 veterinary sur
geon Of large practice and more than or.
dinary intelligence, is IN every way con.
sidcred to be trustworthy, and his word
reliable. He Is quite sure he can either
prove or disapprove the identity Of the
claimant with Sir Roger Tich6orne, be-
cause OF his personal knowledge Of the
original and genuine Sir Roger. At the
time that Sir Roger was stationed with his
regiment at Cashier Barracks, Crawley's
mother kept a hotel at Clogher, Ire
land, which was the resort oi
Sir Roger and bis intimate friends. Grow.
ley was then q young man, given to field
sports and studying to qualify himself for
the profession Of veterinary surgeon.
Sir Roger was very poor horseman and
he employed Crowley to give him instruc'
tons. They were much together, boon
companions day and night, and there Is
little doubt that II any one can identity
another, then Crowley will be able to say
whether the claimant Is or Is not the gen.
nine Sir Roger.

OFFICE SEEKING.

The events Of the past year have |
stirred tho public mind in regard 10
the Importance of honesty aud efficien-
cy in those who hold office Has there
not been one thing radically vicious in
the usages OF political parties, and toll
Grated by the public, in regard 10 nom
mating candidates? Have not nonii- |
nations and elections been made very
extensively on the principle of giving
office TO those who rant Office leaving
out OF view the large number Of men
of sterling integrity, and not deficient
in qualifications, whose modesty and
.seif-resrect forbid them to seek Office ?
Men sometimes put themselves for
ward indirectly. They get their, friends
to work forthem, extol their character,
and urge their claims. Then there are
not few who come out openly for
self. They blow their own horn, and
urge their own claims, "becoming all
things to all men, and try to conciliate
every interest that may furnish them
votes. In sensational contest in our
Town State few years ago, candidate
was reported as saying to members of
the Legislature, Gentlemen modesty
is good thing for romen---but Imake
no pretensions to it, want to be cleo
ted United States Senator, will you
support me 2" and the man wos elected
Now think that the people should
rise up in their sovereignty and say,
we entrust our affairs to such only as
we deem capable and faithful. We
give Office to no man because he desires
IL. And any man who puts himself
forward thereby gives proof of his I'M
fitness.
How any man can get down flat on
the earth and crawl about asking peo-
pie to vote for him | do not under
stand. II involves, when analysed,
not only refreshing amount of hu-
mility ~ but still greater amount of
presumption. II is saying, 81 am the
man." Wisdom, craftsmanship, hon.
or, integrity, are summed up IN Dae."-
And not only so, but "the great public |
need ny instruction and disinterestcd
advice in order to know who to vote
for" "Do me the favor then to vote
for me, that may wear the honors and
pocket the dollars of the peOple!' III
anything can he more pitiably con.
tempible would like to know what
it is.
Now IL those who are, politically, in
power, would do the right thing, and
popular thing, let them name for places
and places Of profit and trust. men OF
known character. whose qualifications
are indisputable, and who are not of.
.Rce-seekers--men whose life speaks the
sentiment attributed 10 Henry Clay. 81
