GENERAL PRESS DIsPATCH.l
WASHINGTON. April 27.-This beng the day fixed
for the euogies upon the late Senator Sumner the
galleries of the Senate Chamber were densely
crowded long before the hour Of meeting upon the
floor The bust of the late Senator recently finished
by Preston Powers was placed in conspicuous
position and appropriately draped In mourning
VioePresident Wilson was present, but did not
occupy the chair.
The Chaplain, in his opening prayer, said: "On
this day Of solemn conference to bow before
Thee, God. IN deep humility for the memory of

before u.s." He besought Divine Providence that
The vacant place and solemn pause in the Senate
Chamber to-day might impress their lessons every

CURRENT TOPICS AT THE CAPITAL.
THE VACANCY On THE BENCH OF THE COURT
OF CLAIMS

Ot tlshlMS.
WASHINGTON, Monday, April az, 1874.
The leading candidates for the vacant Court of
Claims judgeship are now Representatives Maynard
of Tennessee and Scefeld of Pennsylvania. Both
are Representatives Large from their respective
States and as there is every prospect that the Re
publican party will be beaten in those States next
Fall life position the bench would naturally be
highly acceptable to them both. Ii is but just To say
that the position would be credtaby filled by either.
Mr.. Maynard was first in the field AZ candidate,
and has probably the recommendation of the larger
number of Congressman, but Mr.. Scofied has the
most influential support. His appoin tment is urged
upon the President as that would give tue Court
added dignity and ability and cause II TO possess
the confidence Of Congress to greater extent than
heretofore.

WHEAT CULTURE AT THE WEST
"A correspondent at Kershaw, S. c., Of
the RURAL CARoLINIAN, makes the fol-
lowing statement. In lecture before
an English club, the recommendation is
similar to that in this extract, as to the
selection of seed wheat and the early
sowing:
Many years of my early life were
spent in the great wheat-growing State
of Illinois. Wheat is one of the most
profitable crops that we can raise, and
l think, with proper culture, one of the
surest. l propose now to give you the
process of an old Dutch farmer, with
whom l was acquainted, and whose
crop never knew to fail:
lst. In selecting his seed, (Which he
invariably did at harvest he selected
the first ripe, plump grain of his grow
ing crop, for his Fall planting; nothing
would induce him to plant anything
but the best seed.
I'd. In July he had his ground deeply
ploughed, with two large horses, as
deep as possible From the 18th of
August to 9Th Of September he sowed
his wheat, preparing his seed thoroughly
as follows; He had his seed washed
in brine, made strong enough to float
an egg-which took out, or foated, all
the small, inferior grains to the top, to
be removed. His seed was then rolled
in Stacked lime-just as we do our cot
ton seed. The seed thus prepared was
sown, two bushels to the acre; thor
oughly narrowed in, and then rolled
with heavy roller"

will have better security than he has
or can get at present.
Next in Importance, is an alteration
OF the usury laws to conform more near
ly to the daily transactions of men.
We do not propose to go over the argu-
ments on that subject so often made, so
often disputed. The fact that we daily
pay at least three times the amount of
interest allowed by law, and that the
borrower is more anxious than the lend
er to break that law; the fact that the
federal Government, wanting all the
money it can get, pays higher interest
in gold than we are allowed to pay in
greenbacks. These are arguments that
cannot be refuted
But whatever the proper measures
may be, and however necessary, we
cannot get them without a good legis-
lature-one that sympathizes with the
property holders of the State, and COM
mands their respect and confidence.
This we can have if we are fit to have
it. But we must change from what we
were in the past, in fact, are now, be-
fore we can expect such change as
that But so long as the masses fail to
inform themselves, or to put themselves
under the lead and guidance Of those
who have informed themselves, so long
will we be weak and poor and even
most despised. But, we need not be.
We have a country of which the earlier
settlers, in fact the explorers said, that
"heaven and earth never agreed to frame
a better place for mans habitation,
were it fully MANFRED, and inhabited
by industrious people" And if we
have half the spirit and energy of Full
ton, Howe, or Capt. John Smith, we
need not despair. Spoiled as we have
been in our homes by heavy mortgages,
oppressed as we are, threatening as is
now the aspect of things, yet we owe
it to our ancestry, our lineage, and its
traditions Of glory, net to despair, not
to finch, not to look at the smouldering
ruins of the past or present, but to take
counsel at once, and snatch hope from
the future.
"Then Nature, in due course of time,
once more will here put on her beauty
and her bloom"
Town Point, Sept, 1874.

VEaErABLEs.-A few of the Vege-
tables require Autumn planting. As
paragus is hard seed, slow to germi-
nate, and is best sown late, just before
Winter sets in, and an early, strong
geowth will be the result next season.
Lettuce, sown from September to No
vember will make strong, early plants,
either for maturing where they are
sown, or for transplanting. A little
protection from frame, or something
OF the kind, will aid in the growth of
plants during the Winter. Spinach,
for Spring use, should be planted early
enough In the Autumn to give good,
stocky plants before very severe frosts,
and then you will have Spinach when
it is needed-very early in the Spring.
10 secure very early Cabbage and eau
lifiower, it is a good plan to sow seed
In the Autumn, in the seed-bed, and be-
fore Winter, protect these beds with
frame of boards, something after the
manner of q cold-frame, covering the
top lightly with straw, for the Winter.
