The Cleveland Leader says: If
there are any lukewarm Republicans
who think their party has done its
great work, and that no harm can re-
suit from the partial triumph of the
Democracy, they would do well to
reflect that there was no White
League until the DemozEets had car
ried Ohio, New Hampshire snd Con
necticut. As soon as the Southern
cut-throats believed their Northern
friends capable of giving them assist
ance, they formed in solid phalanx to
drive the colored men from the polls
Democratic success emboldened them
and it is reasonable to assert that
rousing Republican victory at the
coming elections will cause them tc
ground their arms, and accomplish
great deal toward the pacifcation o
| the South.

For Congress, 7th District.
DR.. THOS. W. GORDON,
Of Brown County.
Republican County Ticket.
Resolutions of The 7tn District
Republican Convention.

l. Resolved, That the times demand
above all things, honesty, integrity and the
strictest economy, in the administration of
public affairs, and that the people should
elect no man to Office whose record in these
respects is not free from suspicion or re-
proach.
2 That the course of the present Rep
resentative of this Congressional District,
Hon. L. T. Neal, in accepting the increased
pay under the iniquitous law known as the
''Salary Grab, for nine months before tax
ing his seat in Congress, merits the severest
censure of his constituents, and should
unite honest men of all parties in opposing
his reelection.
3. That it is the sense of this Conven-
ton that the Congress of the United States
should grant warrant for 160 acres of land
without requiring a residence thereon, to
every Union soldier who served in the war
of 1S61-'65, and who was honorably dis
charged from said service.
4. That we recognize the farming and
laboring class of this country as the bone
and sinew of the nation, and that every at
tempt to remove taxation from chattels to
realty, from capital tolabor, is an outrage
upon the people and disgrace to our coun-
try.

Why did not Neal refuse to take
his Store pay" under the "SalarJ
Grab" law, as did Messrs. Bundy
Gunckle and Lawrence, Republican
members from Ohio? They refused
to take any more than the pay allow
ed them under the old law, at the
rate of $4,000 a year, and refunded
the "extra" pay into the treasury
What was to hinder Neal from doing
the same thing, had he been equally
disposed to- accept only fair com
pensation? Can the Gazette answer
the conundrum?

Speaker Blaine sums up the re-
suit in Maine, in a dispatch to the
President as follows:
"The result of our election is in
all respects satisfactory. We have
carried every Congressional district;
have majority, I think, in every
county in the State; have chosen
twenty-nine or thirty Senators to one
by the Democrats; have elected three
fourths of the popular branch of the
Legislature, and have given Gov
Dingley a majority, according to
present appearance, of between H.,
900 and 10000, which is handsome
gain on last years vote.

Tiltons and Moulton's last estate
ments" have not in the least shaken
the confidence of Mr.. Beecher's friends
in his innocence. The Columbus
Journal says:
'.It is o matter of small conse-
quence, perhaps, to any of the parties
concerned, but there is at least sat
isfaction in giving our opinion, that
there is not in all the tons of verbi-
age of Tilton and Moulton, any
thing to shake our confidence in
Beecher further than this. That he
has acted throughout with lack Of
that pluck and common sense which
we have heretofore credited him with,
as distinctive Beecher characters

of remarkable growth and quality
were on exhibition at the Fair al
Georgetown. He has also intro
duced imported stock into the coun
ty, and in various ways, of which we
have merely mentioned particular ex
amples to prove our words were not
simply electioneering generalities,
has sought the advancement of agri
culture and the benefit of laboring
men.
We need hardly point out to the
intelligent farmers the contrast be-
tween Dr. Gordon and Mr.. Neal in
all that concerns their interests OF
the objects of the Order of Patrons
of Husbandry. No one can point to
anything Mr. Neal has done, or has
shown an inclination to do, for the
advantage of the farming class. He
is q lawyer, and as a Memberof Con
gress has chiefly distinguished him
self by his, acceptance ofthe "fore- pay
salary grab, refused by his colleagues,
Messrs. Bundy, Gunckel, Lawrence,
&c. His own party convention
came within two or three votes of de-
nouncing him for this action, and re-
pudiating him as a candidate for re-
nomination. WithDemocrats every
where throughout the District, he is
in bad odor on this account, while no
one has ever discovered in him any
great merits that should cause his
constituents to condone his serious
shortcomings. We would not speak
invidiously or unkindly of Mr.. Neal,
through partisan prejudice. What
we have said is mildness itself in
comparison with the condemnation
he receives from hundreds, nay
thousands, of his own party.
We have only to say, in conclusion,
that on the principles set forth by
Mr.. Ellis, every Granger in the Dis
trict should vote squarely against
Neal on his record, and in favor of
DIR. Gordon, whose character and
qualities we have endeavored to state
in all candor and fairness, knowing
whereof we affirm. Every soldier,
whose hard service DR.. Gordon
shared in the war, should do the
same. Nor is there any good reason
why any one should vote against
him. The "silent vote" tells-every
vote. Let all act up to their convic-
tions in this matter, and DR.. Gordon
will certainly be elected by hand
some majority.

\ very striking instance Of the
importance of 4 rotation of crops,
and Of the bad consequences ofplan-
ting the same crop on the same
land year after year, is afforded by
the experience Of the Onondaga
N. y pOOr-hOuse, an account OF
which l read some time ago. The
inmates Of the poor house had cul-
tivated three or four acres of the
land connected with establishment
in corn and potatoes year after
year for q number of years. The
land was naturally very good and
was annually enriched literally
with stable manure. 1t had a good
exposure and was we'll cultivated;
yet, Notwithstanding all its appI-
rent advantages, the crops Of corn
and potatoes dwindlcd from year to
year, until at last they did not pay
for the labor and seed. II was then
tried whether this land would not
produce wheat Il was well pre-
pared and seeded with clover and
timothy when the wheat was sown.
It yielded over thirty bushels Of
frst-rate wheat, and the crop of hay
is said TO have been remarkably
abundant Il Is evident that the
stable manure failed TO supply the
food required for the perfection Of
growth Of corn aud potatoes, and
that the mineral INGREDIENTS for
their uUuyishmeot had become ex-
hausted. The change Of crop call
eL for q different class of food which
the corn and potatoes had not con-
sumed and hence the abundant
crop.-Southern Farmer.

In cotton culture it is the worst Of
bad management to plant inferior
seed, because il would cost something
TO buy the best; but, as we have re-
peatedly urged, every planter should,
by continual selection and high culti-
walton, make his own seed. and take
pride IN having the best. Begin with
the Dickson seed, any better sort, If
there be any better; and improve up
on that till yOu have something as
much better than the Dickson as the
Dickson Is better than the common.
We are accustomed to boast of the
perfection to which cotton culture
has been brought in this country, and
with some reason. but there Is still
room for improvement 10

cOnceit to accept new truths. Only
general rules for the culture of any
crop can be given, when they are to

good judgment guide the planter Mt

walking Horses.

One of the most desirable and valu-
able gaits for a horse is a walk, and
it should be the aim to first develop
this gait in the handling Of the colt.
The good walker viii always make
good time on the road when a days
journey is to be made, without weary
ing himself, while the slow mover
must be constantly kept on the trOt
if time is to be made. A horse that
will walk five miles per hour viii go
as far in a day, confined TO his gait, as
an ordinary horse can be driven when
kept half of the time to the trot, and
with much greater ease to himself. If
One-half the pains were taken by farm
ers' boys to make fast iCdlkers of the
Youngsters on the farm that Is usual
lv taken to make them tTOt, the re-
suit would be much more beneficial,
and we would find plenty of teams
that could do their five miles an hour
with ease. But instead of this, as
soon as the colt Is bridled, the sole
aim of 'the boys is tomake a trnt-
ter of him, and both gaits are spoil
ed. Make the colts lCdiE, boys, make
them extend themselves in a long,
sweeping, square walk, and don't be
satisfied with anything less than five
miles an hour. When he gets to trot-
ting he will go all the faster for this
preliminary training to the walking
gait: and if he cannot trot fast enough
to beat Dexter, or Goldsmith Maid,
or Occident, he win have a gait that
is invaluable for business purposes.
We hope to see more attention paid 70
fast walking than heretofore, and We
respectfully urge upon agricultural
societies the importance of offering
liberal prizes for walking horses at
the'fairs for the coming year. Nation
