For sometime past there have been pre-
monitions Of failure of the Russian har
vest. The price of grain at Odessa ha:
been gradually but steadily advancing
until now we have the information, nc
longer to be concealed, that there has been
an almost entire failure of the crops thro'
out the whole Russian Empire. Ii is not
alone failure of the grain crop, but thi;
is accompanied by an equally absolut,
failure of the grass crop. When We con
slider the fact that the Russian people ST,
an entirely agricultural people, and thai
this calamity is not local or confined mere
ly to districts, but extends throughout the
vast domains of Alexander, we can bat To
appalled, at its magnitude. Ii it were
alone the destruction OF the crop OF cereals
that might be supplied, or perhaps done
without. But when To that is added the
loss of the grass crop, that means the abso'
lutte destruction of the farm-stock and
Herewith the means OF making q crop next
year. From the accounts contained in the
foreign papers OF the extent of this Gala
nifty it is impossible TO see how even with
the assistance of the government nearly
the whole farm stock and many of the pea
pie can escape destruction by famine dur
ing the terrible Russian winter which
is on them. 1t is stated that the govern
ment of the Gar is already adopting mea-
sures to afford such relief us may be posi-,
BILE; that taxes will not only be RENTED
this year, but food purchased and given 10
the sufferers. To this end it is said tina;
the Emperor is about to negotiate i'll the
markets of Europe loan to enable him 10
make the necessary purchases.
All this is very bad for the Russians
and of course they will have the sympathy
of every right thinking man. But then
sit is an. ill wind that blows nobody good
and in the failure of the Russian crop oil
cereals we find sale for our large surplus
Their loss is our gain. Our readers are

wheat growers in the world. She rot only
makes an abundance for her own con
sumption but exports it largely-to what
extent we do not know, nor have we any
means at hand of ascertaining. But in
addition to what she may export else
where we know that in 1878 her export OF
wheat into Great Britain amounted in
value of $45,0OO,OOO in gold, whilst VIC
exported about $50, 100000 in like value
Now if Russia is not only unable to ex-
port to England, but likewise unable to
supply the home consumption of her vast
empire, it will readily be seen that this
country will be largely called upon to sup
ply the deficiency and the price of our
cereals must largely advance, and our
poorly paid farmers may get something
like living prices for their produce. Tho
this may be death to the Russians it is
fun for us.

A case was decided in the City Court
yesterday by Judge Brown under the act
of 1870, chapter "a. The act provides
that when goods belonging to one person
have been levied upon as the property of
another person the title to the property
may be inquired into before justice of
the peace on process issued by him at the
instance of the claimant, under which the
goods are held to await the trial of the
claim. Upon an execution in favor of
Pitt s. Mccain barrel of New England
rum and some Bourbon whisky was seiz-
ed as the property of Mr.. r. A. Cashmyer.
The goods were claimed by his wife, Mrs.
Rose Ann Cashmyer, as her sole property.
The debt of Mr.. Cashmyer was for bill
of goods purchased by him. Mrs. Cash
myer claimed that the liquors seized were
in store on East Baltimore street, carried
on by her, and proved that she bought
out former proprietor in 1865 and had
conducted the store since. The license
was in the name Of Robert A. Cashmyer,
over the store door was the sign r. A..
Cashmyer, and several bills were in that
name Judge Brown said that though a
married woman might acquire property
to the amount OF $1,000 by her skill and

Among the many gratifying results of
the recent State election not the least is
the evidently high appreciation of this
gentleman as manifested by his popular
vote He seemed to have been selected
from the beginning of the contest as one
against whom charges of Encouragement
and corruption were to be brought. Long
before there were any opposition candi-
dates in the field the american opened its
batteries OF SANDER and abuse against him.
But in this instance the manifest malig-
nancy of the assailant counteracted the
fury of the assault, and the engineer was
hoist with his own petard, for we venture
the assertion thatin the opinion of decent
men that paper has during the late cam
paign destroyed any character it may ever
have had for truthfulness or fairness. La
ter, when Mr.. Wallis, by some strange in
fatuation, (quos deus cult perdere prius de-
meataO was induced to become an ally in
the assault proscriptive Know-Nothing-
ism and corrupt Republicanism upon the
Democratic party, whether from his own
impulse, or in ready obedience to his new
and strange friends, and he joined the A.
naerican and ever afterwards these TIVE hunt
ed in pairs. In the meantime, in the indus
trious pursuit of their game, they had
found on the Eastern Shore very worthy
and respectable old gentleman, Mr.. Earle,
who is principally remarkable to all who
know him for his consequential selfcon-
ceit and consistent distinguishing one
of that class of men, who, like the witness,
if he said the horse was seventeen feet
high, would swear to it. So these three
started out in pursuit of the Comptroller
Old Mr.. Earle trotted around among the
brambles and briars of the past two ses-
sions of the Legislature until at last, as
he supposed, he found his game neatly
hid under pension bill. He rushed in
and attempted "to flush" the game, but it
would not be flushed. The old gentleman
then set up tremendous yelping, the
american opening its batteries at short
range, whilst Mr. Wallis with his needle
gun banged away at long range from the
Brevoort House. In short, there was the
most terrible firing and noise What
with the american in Baltimore, Mr.. Earle
on the Eastern Shore and Mr.. Wallis in
New York, they made confusion worse
And now we have the result
before u.s. Col Woolford, instead of be-
ing injured by all this and falling behind
his ticket, occupies the second place on
it, whilst Mr.. Wallis occupies the last on
his Even Mr.. Earle is rebuked- For in
his own county, Queen Anne, where he
and Col Woolford are both well known,
and each appreciated by their proper
standard, the latter, not only does not fall
off in his vote in consequence of these
charges of Mr.. Earle, but leads the ticket.
Here is a vindication for Col. Woolford
and a rebuke to his slanderous enemies
with which any man might be content
We hope however he will not let the mat
ter rest dere, but on the meeting of the
Senate ask an investigation of the whole
matter, so that his enemies may be pillor-
led before public opinion.

Election Returns.

The following are the full election re-
turns of all the counties as We find them
given in the Sun of the 9th: For Cover
nor, Mr. Carroll, s5,247 votes, and Mr..
Harris, 72,4O9-Carroll's majority, 12,s3s.
Woolfsl1, s5,sS7 votes, and Wilkins RI
203-Woolford's majority, 1864. Gwynn,
s6,161; Wallis, II ,736-Gwynn's Marjori-
ty, 14,425. The Legislature stands thus:
Senate, 10 Democrats, 7 Opposition;
House, 81 Democrats, 81 Opposition. 1t
will be seen by this, that Mr.. Gwynn, our
candidate for Attorney General leads the
ticket, having received SIS votes more
than Carroll. and 80 more than Woolford,
whilst the latter in turn leads Carroll 500
votes. The falling behind of Mr.. Carroll
can be ascribed to nothing else than a
bigotry within our own ranks which re-
fused to vote for him because he was a
Catholic. Personally he was the most un-
exceptionable candidate on the ticket. A
man of spotless life, no assault on or even
insinuation against the purity of his in
tegrity was made during the whole cam
paign, whilst both of his colleagues were
targets for the arrows ofcalumny and abuse
from its opening until its close. Mr..
Gwynn, it was alleged was the Attorney
of the B. & o. r. R. Co. and was in collu-
sion with it to defeat the claims of the
State against that mammoth corporation,
whilst Col. Woolford was taken by Mr..
Wallis as his particular private game
which he was at liberty to shoot at when
ever the notion struck him, and about eve
nv other day he and that venerable but
obstinate fossil, Mr.. Earle, would take a
shot at the Comptroller, whilst the Amer
lean kept up a general fusilade, to which
however nobody paid any attention.
On the other ticket we find the order of
the candidates reversed. That empty,
but conceited proscriptionist, Mr.. j. Nor
rison Harris, who years ago encouraged
ruffians to slaughter the peaceable citizens
of Baltimore who stood up in defense of
the elective franchise, most strange to say,
leads the ticket, his vote being 72,409 or
2OS more than Wilkins and 573 more than
that of the immaculate Mr.. Wallis, whom
Wilkins, the peachite, likewise beats 467
votes. Thus it would seem that the bloody
record of the inflated coxcomb Harris was
more highly appreciated by the "Reform-
ers'' (God save the mark y than the sail
decency" record of the political diletante
Wallis. Even Wilkins, with his proscrip-
tive record as against the returned Con-
federates, was preferred to that accom-
plished orator and brilliant writer. Evil

The Drum Point Railroad enterprise
has been revived. and there is now a fair
prospect that work will soon be com
menced in earnest. At recent meeting
of the Directors in Baltimore city con
tract for building the road from near An
napolis To- Drum Point was submitted,
and but for objections 10 some of its mi
nor details would probably have been ac-
cepted. Another meeting OF the Directors
is TO be held in short time, and it IS an
ticipated that a contract will then be en-
tered into.

The latest information in reference tt
the disaster to the steamship Pacific leaves
but little doubt that the ship struck on q
sunken rock, although Henry F. Jelly, the
rescued passenger, is under the impression
that she collided with another vessel
There appears to be no hope that any o.
the other passengers will be rescued, ale
loss of lives being about two hundred
The telegraph also brings information Of
the destruction by fire of the steamer City
of Waco off Galveston bar. The passen-
gers and crew are reported to have taken
to the boats, and were carried out TO sea
by the heavy gale which was blowing at
the time. Some thirteen vessels were at
anchor near the Waco at the time, but
were unable to render any assistance on
account of the gale, and although dilEent
search has been made all along the coast,
no trace of the missing boats have been
found, and the impression is gainsSS
ground that hfth passcaget and
persisted with the vessel Among thWe
lost on the Pacific was J. ID. Howell, mas
ter of the ship. He was married to the
sister of jeff. Davis, and was a marine
captain at the outbreak of the war. He
went South and was the marine officer OF

The result of the late election in Virgin

The result of the late election in Vlrgln-7
ia shows that the mixing up of the color

had great deal to do with destroying
the distinction of color, which promises
healthy political affinity between the two
races. This once effected in good faith,
