Voting by Telegraph.

THE German Reichstag is hereafter
going to do its voting by telegraph; and
there is very little doubt that we shall
soon have the same process introduced in
our American legislative bodies. The
wires are to be so arranged that each
member can indicate his vote from his
seat. In front of the seat are two buttons,
one indicating yes, the other no. A
pressure on the button telegraphs the vote
to circular table, in front of the Presi
dents desk, upon which the names of all
the members are written down, so tina
Immediately after pressing the button
each member can see piece OF paper
appear under his name with his yes or nc
on it. Underneath this circular table are
three other tables, the first one Of which
shows Immediately the total number OF
ayes, the second the total number of noes
and the third the total number of all the
votes cast whereby the former two can
be checked. a box in another part Of the
house at the same time has an arrange
ment similar to that used by our banks in
getting the reports of the sales Of stocks
in the New York market, which issues a
narrow slip of paper with the name OF
each individual member and his vote
upon it. 1t is calculated that it will only
take half minute to count votes by this
method.

THE STATE CONVENTION CALLED.

The date mentioned on WONDERFULLY 2sth-
has been fixed upon by the Chairman OF the
State Committee, for the holding of the Conyen-
ton, the place to be Georgetown, in Sussex
county. As the call is now issued, further pro-
test against this extraordinary haste is of course
unavailing, yet it may appropriately be said that
the calling Of a State Convention, without a
meeting of the State Committee, is without pre-
cedent and that the time announced is disap-
proved by several of its members. 1t is ex-
tremely doubtful whether, if there had been
meeting of the Committee, and full con-
sideration of the matter, the Convention would
have been summoned to assemble on the
2sth of July, and this, in the minds of many,
will be assigned as the reason why the Chair
man assumed the responsibility of acting, with
out the presence of his colleagues. We regret
to be compelled to say so, but such is ihe case.
The place Of meeting, being so far removed
from central point, is inconvenient
of course, for the delegates from
New Castle county, and the whole oil
them, (making within two of one-half the Con
vention,) are obliged to travel from one-half &c
three-fourths the whole length of the State
yenient for the attendance of delegates from
the two lower counties than from New Castle
and there 10 to be added to this, the furthel
fact that in this end of the State, the oat'
harvest will just be on, while in the middle
and lower sections, all the grain will be gath
cred. Our farmers will find themselves so busy
as to hesitate about attending, and it may easily
be, that unless they are specially urged to the
duty, the delegation from New Castle may bt
much less than full.
1t is to be regretted on all accounts that il
the present condition of party feeling, ever.
step taken in thus matter should not have beer
carefully and prudently chosen, with the yieV
of satisfying all that nothing but honorable treat
ment of all different opinions was intended. We
media this juncture, far men in authority AM
all sharp practice is greatly to be condemned.

Tho July number of ''Otd and Ne,rN opens its
tenth volume with really valuable as well as
interesting miscellany of contents As hereto
fore, the question of education is made the
specially of this month which closes the collie
giate and academic year. The editorial depart
ment, dstinctiyely entitled "Old and New sur
yeys the general field of American education,
bears testimony against the republican passion
for numbers" which increases schools to an un-
wieldy size by which special variations of teach
ing adapted to special needs are rendered I'M
possible, and the whole mass of pupils must pass
through the same uniform grind protests
against the elective system of study, and adyo-
Gates intercollegiate competitions which shall
in some manner settle the question of the rela-
tive rank of our large brood of colleges and uni
verHitieH.
An excellent article on srechncal Educa-
tion,' by G. W. Powers, and another on
French and German Schools" by .'Ben
Bolt" further elucidates the same general
subject. "Educaton for the Civil Service" con-
tracts in lively and epigrammatic style the old
regime of civil service appointments, with Its
pulling and hauling, intriguing and devising,
letter-writing, caucussing, buttoning and can
wasting" with the hopeful era of competitive
examinations The author of the article far
from agreeing with the oft-repeated charge that
the examinations are conducted by mere book
worms who offer long lists of pedantc and use
less questions, contends that they are really Of
the most practical and common sense character,
in testimony Of which copy of the list Of ques-
tons used in the last examination for admission
to the several executive Departmental adduced.
which thoroughly bears out the Authors asser-
ton, and inclines the reader to agree with him
that nothing could be more useful exercise for
the advanced classes Of schools than Just such a
miscellany of practical and useful test ques-
lions.

The call for the Republican State Convention
apportions the delegates, once more, upon the
Census of 1860, apparently disregarding the
fact that there has been another census ten
years more recent. By the apportionment made
in 1865 the basis of the 1860 population Of the
three counties, New Castle county was given rs
delegates Kent 40 F; and SUSSEX AZ. But the
Census of 1870 shows the following population :
New Castle County ................G3 5l5
Kent County ............. 29,S04
Sussex County. .,....................3 81 ,696
this county having more than both the other
two counties. A revision of the apportionment
should therefore have been made by the Com
mittee, but as it was not permitted to meet, We
can hardly consider the omission to do so it's
fault.

"Wm. Crozier, proprietor of the Beacon
Farm, on Long Island, has been visited, and the
reporter shows that Crozier gets 10 cents pound
in New York for all the butter he can make. Al
lowing each COW to produce 365 pounds per an
mum, she produces S255.50, besides bringing
calf worth, when dropped, from $50 to 800.
Some are worth over $50, for every COW in his
herd is either pure Jersey or pure Ayrshire, and
that each among the best Of its kind. Taking
the COWS at an average of $3.50 each, and cutting
down the butter products, if one pleases, to only
$500, it will be seen that keeping up such herd
is profitable Investment / say nothing of the
skinned milk and buttermlk but as calves are
brought up after the first month on the former,
and as the latter is fed to Berkshire pigs that
sell for high price, these are no small items on
the account of profits.
The above from the columns of one of our ex-
changes gives a very cheering view of the profits
of farming, but, as in many other cases, we fear
things are not exactly as they seem, although it
is said that figures will not lie. That Mr. Crozier
obtains seventy cents per pound for his butter
we don't doubt in fact we have good reason for
believing it correct that his COWS average three
hundred and sixty-fve pounds of butter per year
we do doubt ; that his butter even at seventy
cents per pound yields him more profit than that
OF common dairy at forty cents we also doubt !;
that bis calves net him en- average of seventy
five dollars at one month old is doubtful and
adding all these doubts together we very much
doubt the result. As COWS increase in value the
risk of loss and interest in value increase in
greater proportion and we should estimate that
COWS worth $3.50 cost at least s25 more per year
than when worth only fifty dollars. Mr.. Crozier
has fancy dairy out and out, and when the in
terest upon the extra capital invested is counted
up makes quite an important item in the debit
side of the account. 1t has long been our opin-
ion obtained from the result Of both practice and
observation, that the most profitable diaries are
those Of from fifteen to twenty COWS when the
work is done by the proprietor and his family.
1t is the difference between the price obtained
and the actual cost of production which consti-
tutes profit, and seventy cent butter costing six
ty cents is no better than fifty cent article pro-
duced at cost of thirty cents. We are glad that
Mr.. Crozier is able to do business in tins way.
And we only wish to present both sides of ~ &C
count and not to detract from the credit which
is his due.

A Magnificent Bridge.

The new Girard Avenue bridge, in Philadel-
phia, is the widest in the world, and for its
length probably the finest. 1t is 900 feet long
and 100 wide, or Is feet wider than Westminster
Bridge in London, and 70 feet wider than the
new Blackfrars Bridge The width of each
sidewalk is l6l feet. Beside two street railroad
tracks there is ample space in the roadway for
five carriages to drive abreast. Above, the
bridge presents the appearance of spacious
causeway, paved with stone, with sate-hagged
sidewalks, on either side bordered by steps OF
colored tiles, protected by ornamental ratings OF
iron and bronze, and lighted at night by handsome
lamps. Viewed from the water this massive
structure is seen to be supported by an intricate
network OF wrought iron ''trusses,' ''chord-,
and ''bars," resting upon four piers and two
abutments. the effect being peculiarly light and
graceful. The cost of the bridge was 81, 40i, AS
and it was completed in thirteen months from
the time work was begun upon the first piei
