Kes from Ohio---Fattening Hogs on
Mast,


NEAR CHARLESTON, ". VA,
November -, 1873.
Editors OF the Register.
There is but very little business be.'-
done 10 our city just at present OWN
to the scarcity of money. This, as s
matter OF course, affects the farmer to q
great extent. He cannot sell mis- grain
and produce, even at reduced price
therefore he is hard pushed Tor ready
cash. We have noticed in the last few
days persons hauling provender home,
after trying in vain all day to sell it IN
town. Butter has fallen in the last week
from thirty-five cents to q shilling, and
in fact. produce OF all kinds is very low
and dull, excepting eggs, which can not
be had for either love or money.
We have noticed large supplies OF
cabbsges in our market, shipped from
along the Ohio river. This, we think,
shows a sad lack OF enterprise among
our farmers and market gardeners. Il
persons on the Ohio side could afford
to raise them and ship them here, shure.
ly We could afford to raise them and
get what it costs TO ship them here as
extra profit. Let us consider for a
moment what can be made of OF an
acre Of cabbages. There can be plant
ed, as every one well knows, about five
thousand plants to an acre OF ground.
Now We will knock off one thousand
for plants that will be destroyed and
will not head, which leaves US four
thousand to sell. These at eight cents
a head, which is about the wholesale
price here, would bring four hundred
and eighty dollars of this one acre, =
Now one hundred and eighty dollars will
cover all expenses, which leaves you
three hundred dollars net profit. An acre
OF cabbages is but very little more
trouble 10 cultivate than an acre OF corn,
which will not yield you clear prott, at
the highest calculation, more than ten
or fifteen dollars, all expense counted.
Thus il will be seen that an acre OF cab
bages will yield you as much clear prot
it as twenty-five or thirty acres OF corn.
Pork lie very fat, owing to the large
mast with which our woods abound, the
largest that has been for years in this
county, and which will fatten all the.
hogs which have the advantage OF Il.
The farmers who live a short distance
from the river say they will not have to.
feed an ear OF corn 10 their hogs this
winter. This will be great help to
them.
The weather has been very wet and
disagreeable for the last few days so
there has been but very little work done
out OF doors. Hoping for speedy change
in the weather and affairs in general,
remain, you're, &c,

THE CONTESTED SEATS IN con-
GRESS.

Governor JACoB's Hypothetical cer-
tifestes" have had the effect Of depriv-
ing the First and Second Congressional
Districts ofWest Virginia Of represent
tation, for the present, in the House OF
Representatives that convened yester-
dav. Mr.. HEREFORD, Of the Third Dis
tr.ct, hiss been admitted to his seat, but
the Governors obstinate refusal to ex-
press any opinion as to which OF the
contestants in the other districts were
legally elected has induced Mr.. Nc
PuERsoS, Clerk Of the, House, to re-
fuse to place upon the roll the name OF
either Of the claimants from the First
and Second Districts. 1t was hoped
that the recent act OF the
legislature requiring the execu>
tive officers OF the State to
ascertain the result Of tine Congression'
81 election and give certificates &C
c9rdingly, and the subsequent action OF
the State officers in certifying the elec-
ton OF the members chosen in October
last, would have averted the mischief
done by the Governors refusal to act.
snd would have been deemed by the
Clerk o. the House sufficient author.
ization for the enrolment Of the men,
bers thus shown to have been elected
It appears, however, from our dispatch
e. this morning that Mr.. Mcpherson
sill declines to place upon the roll
tie names Of either of the contestants
from the First and Second Districts,
and h2ace these Districts have
no representatives. upon the tloor.
How long this state Of things will
coa.inue !; is impossible to say. If the
report Of the committee on Elections is
to be waited for, the greater portion Of
tae session may pass away before any
decision Is arrived at.
In tae meantime important acts o.
legislation may be had acts in which
West Virginia is deeply interested; and
ye. our State will be deprived OF two
thirds Of its legitimate voice. For this
condition OF affairs the Governor is
solely responsible. He should have
decided oae way or the other; he should
have given certificates in proper form,
either TO those claiming to have been
elected ia August or to those who
a majority Of the votes
cast in October. We believe that
the October election for members Of
Congress was the only one authorized
br law, and from the beginning OF the
controversy have maintained this opin-
ion; but we would have much prefer
r.d to have tie Governor give legal cer-
ti:i:stes to the gentlen,en who claim to
have been elected in August, rather
than, by his obstisstely obstructive
policy, to prduce the unfortunate
result that occurred. 1t has long been
apparent that, under any circumstan~
CO., the seats would be contested and
the final decision Of the questions in
VOWED would rest with the House Of
Representatives itself, but it was hoped
that some PERSONS would be admitted to
seats a- Representatives OF the First
aGi Second Districts Of West
Virginia while the legal title to the
place vas being examined and discuss
Cd, Possibly the House may yet, upon
proper motion, admit one eet Of the
claimants, pending the report Of the
