M. Eiitor:-I desire to warn you and the
numerous readers of the FARMER that the
ly number of my ncighbors bought seed last
spring, paying fancy prices-planted them
and they truly grew in the form Of II BUSH"
much resembling huge stalk of smart weed
or hearts-cnse; but unlike the latter they
never displayed blossom. | perhaps
should say for the benefit Of those having the
pea for sale, that did see one plant loaded
with fruit, but it looked so much like onions,
beets, English turnips, and rotten potato
balls that very much questioned its being
legitimate. S. B. &.

10 the Virginia contested election case Mr..
Platt claims that at the meeting Of the Com
missioners of Nansemond county, to count the
returns from the precinct, 206 votes thrown
for him by legal voters were not counted for
him on the alleged ground that the words,
against the Constitutional amendment were
printed on the same ballot with his name and
c.st 10 the same ballot-box. That notwith
standing this fact and many other reflections
of lawful votes cast for him, the returns from
the whole district, when received at the office
of the Secretary of State. still gave him ma
jority Of 294 votes, which majority was over
come by rejecting the whole vote of the county
of Prince George, which county gave him a
majority of 425 votes, the ground of such re-
lection, as stated by the State Board, being
the fact that the Clerk of said county, in copy
ing from his books the abstract of votes re-
CURED by law to be forwarded to the Secretary
of the Commonwealth, did fail to copy his owu
name in one place on the said return. The re
lection Of the whole vote of this county and
the 2O6 votes 10 Nansemond left Goode an ap
parent majority of Isl, and the certificate was
given him.

unless. as is quite improbable, the total Of
1854, 4SS 5Sl, which, according to the census,
they owned in 1870, has trebed in the interval
of the past five years. This total was divided
up as follows: Methodsts, SOS, 1854 l2l; Ro.

abandonment of his claim to the Senatorial

The President and the Whisikey
Frauds.

The Government has OF late understood the
popular impression that the ordinary United
States district attorneys were not the proper
persous to employ when the persons accused
Of crime were known to be the leaders OF the
Administration party 10 the sections OF the
country to which they belonged, and has gen.
orally employed other counsel. Hon. A. G..
Riddle was employed in this way in the recent
safe burglary case 10 Washington; and in the
pending case where United States officers made
a conspiracy to release man named Snyder,
who had robbed Perrys dry goods store, and
it is said took part of their pay 10 the stolen
goods, Hon. jeremiah NJ. Wilson has been
employed as special counsel, instead of District
Attorney Wells. So 10 the ST. Louis whiskcy
fraud cases, which included some officials OF the
Treasury Department and Gen. Babcock. OF the
Presidents House, 10 its scope, ex-senator
Henderson, of ST. Louis, became special a,tor.
ney, in place of District Attorney Dyer. Mr..
Henderson, 10 bis argument to the jury on the
trial of Avery, an officer Of the United States
Treasury, at Washington, commented with
great freedom upon the support which the
whiskey ring seemed to rely upon receiving
from General Grant On yesterday lengthy
session of the Cabinet was held, at which the
case of Mr. Henderson was discussed. resulting
in telegram being forwarded to ST. Louis d.
r.ctng his dismissal. This determination, sayG
the Baltimore Sun, has not produced favora.
BILE impression among those who sincerely like
the injunction of the President, LET no guilty
man escape There can be 90 division Of opip.
i'm that the language attributed to Mr.. Hen
derson as used toward the President was unbe
coming under the circumstances, but it is un
der>tood that Mr.. Henderson disclaimed such
language. His dismissal will be Interpreted
whether justly or not, as direct attempt in
the interest of Gen. Babcock Mr. Henderson
is thoroughly acquainted with all the facts in
connection with the whiskey ring, and it is
mainly through his efforts that the conviction
Of the persons on trial at St. Louis has been
attained. TO put in a new prosecutor at this
time, and one who is not familiar with the his
tory Of the ramifcations Of the ring, is of course
to weaken the prosecution very much, and to
be a material point in favor Of Gen. Babcock
The Attorney General has rendered to DAME

counsel for the Government, made vacant by
the removal Of MIR. Henderson. Mr.. Glover is
