everywhere admitted In this country It il
matter of fact that hardly any Ene American

THE wintry character of the present
Spring continues to be illustrated by
high, cold winds, bleak storms, and
even snow and hail. We have COM
menced the last month of Spring, and
yet seem to be in the cold grip of Win
ter. Unless the cold spell yields to suit
ably warm weather very speedily, our
farmers can look for only short and de-
fective crops. Already, in many in
stances, the seeds that were planted
have rotted in the ground, and further
paintings must be very late. At least
a month of what should be growing
weather, is lost. Many have grave
fears that it is simply impossible for the
weather to be sufficiently warm for the
grains yet to be planted to properly
mature. 1t has been generally held
that certain equilibrium in heat aud
cold requires that IA cold Winter shall
be followed by warm Spring. But
our Winter was severely, and almost
continuously, cold, and yet Spring is
unusually back ward. And this peculi-
arily is observable in all parts of the
country. This will be regarded as a
memorable Winter and Spring, both
because of its cold, and the sickness
that has generally prevailed.

The appointment of Pierpont to the
position of Acknowledgement gives al
most universal satisfaction to the best
class OF Republicans, and even Demo
cratic GROWERS speak favorably of him
He is an able and pure man, and will
greatly strengthen the Cabinet. His
appointment reflects credit upon the
President. The Judge took part in the
Indignation meeting held in New York
t. pro est against the Louisiana policy,
and is also an out-spOken anti-third
term man. In view of the ISLANDERS
that are current on this subject. this ap.
pointment, in opposition to such men
as Butler, is significant. Fish, Pier
popt, Bristow, and Jewell are known
TO be opposed to the third-term princi-
lie. How the ether members stand
xe are not able TO say. If Grant, as his
enemies allege, wants reelection, he
would hardly keep around him So
many Cabinet Ministers who are op-
posed to it; and certainly he would
hardly have appointed Pierpont when
he might have had Butler, who pro-
fesses to be third-term patriot. We
are also glad 10 learn that Secretary
F,sh does not propose to retire from the
Cabinet.-Gin. Gazette.

The Coming Canvass i'm Ohis.
From the Chicago r-Ocean.

The Republicans of Ohio hold their
convention this year on the "a day Of
June. The canvass attracts wide atten-
tion from the important position Ohio
holds in national politics, and the fact
that no other Western State votes this
year in October. This interest is inten-
sified by the supposed influence the re-
suit will have upon the Presidential
struggle in 1876. The feeling is general
with Republicans that, with LIE side
issues and with vigorous canvass, the
State will be redeemed from Democrat
ic rule. a portion of the Ohio press,
however, appear to be losing sight OF
the situation in the attempt to find a
candidate for Governor. A search is
being made for a man who will unite
all the elements of strength, and still
antagoniZe nobody. There Is a wide
and Improbable discussion of the rela-
tive merits and dement's of 5, me dozen
prominent men, with no one evidently
in the fel6 as candidate.
From a telescope view of the situa-
ton it seems that entirely too much
| importance is being attached to the
candidate for Governor, and too little
to the political situation and the con-
duct of the campaign. II the Ohio Re-
publicans expect to win, they must not
lose sight of the great overshadowing
questions of the hour, and waste their
strength on side-issues and personal
and social questions. Last year they
struck out boldly ON the temperance
question, expecting to gather in the
prOhibitionists. In this they failed.
The temperance wave having now
receded, it is proposed hy certain Gin
cinnati influence {" inke The other eX-
treme, by nominating Il candidate for
Governor of liberal social views and
habits, to call back the Germans, driv-
en- away by the crusaders.
There is great danger in this move
ment. The Republicans of Cincinnati
lately tried a similar eXpPrim ent in the
nomination of John Robinson, of circus
and menagerie fame, for Mayor, and
gained nothing. On the contrary,
they lost much in moral and party spir-
it. To attempt such move in great
State like Ohio would result only in
disaster. The true policy of the Re
publicans would seem to be, to leave
social economy to social laws, and con-
duct the campaign upon political ques-
tions. The campaign in Ohio will be
fought uron national issues. The best
talent i'm the country will be called into
the controversy from both political par
ties. 1t is, in fact, the skirmish ground
of the Eattle of 1876. 1t matters little
who is nominated IOr Governor, so he
be true and patriotic man, with suffi-
cient character and ability to command
the influence and respect OF the people.
The Republican party is body of free
and independent thinkers, who have
no idols in men, and who only con
tend for principles. The aggressive
character OF the Southern Democracy,
the chaotic condition OF Southern socie-
ty. the armed opposition to State gov
ernments South, the riots, outrages and
murders have alarmed the Conserva-
tives of the country, and if the Repub-
licans go furward with single and pa
triOtic purpose to keep the only vital
issue to the front.

CORRESPONDENCE.

ISLAND STATION, Col, April %, 10.
DEAR CHRoNICLE-I now see what
| have not before seen for five months,
and that is rain. Rain never falls here
in winter, but we have as much snow
as i'm Ohio. The past winter was very
eoId-forty degrees below zero. can
stand that better in this light, dry at
mosphere than ten degrees in Ohio.
The colder the air the better for those
with diseased lungs, as it contains more
oxy gen, and it is better medicine than
cod liver oil. | have never seen the
mud hals-inch deep on the roads; they
are dusty during the entire winter.
Farmers are nearly all done sowing
grain. Those who are done are wa
ging war against the grasshoppers, and
well they may. The people of Bel
mont couRW may save their nickels to
aid the Kansas and Nebraska sufferers
next winter. Colorado is raising enough
grasshoppers this year to eat those
States, crops, cattle, houses and people.
Our only hope of salvation is in freeze
about the first of May, when l think
they will have all been hatched.
i have been "bugolOgizing" to-day.
Took frofn one square foot of ground
eighteen hundred and fifty eggs, and
presume did not get more than two
thirds of those yet unmatched, while at
least thousand were hatched; so there
are about four thousand to the square
foot. They are not all over the ground
that way, but patches of from quarter
of an acre to several acres, are too nu-
merous to be agreeable. While exam
lining these eggs and exposing them to
the rays of the sun, they Matched at the
rate of ten per minute When first
hatched they are about half as large as
Il grain of wheat. They commence bu-
siness Immediately, and have already
destroyed some young wheat. Many
are destroyed by scattering straw over
the gronnd and burning it. By keep
ing their. r.irI igating bitches full of wa
ter, the farmers hope to keep those on
The prairie from entering their fields,
till they can fly, when many of them
will go East or South.
Farmers usually raise good crops for
which they always get good price.
Cattle raising is very profitable, there
being no expense but that Of hiring a
herder, who can take care of from two
hundred to three hundred head. The
range is unlimited and is covered with
nutritious grass, which cures in the
fall, making a better feed for winter
than timothy hay.
Schools are very good-be;ter than
in Ohio. Society generally good,
though there are some pretty rough
characters. w. Il. A.

THE April report of the Department
of Agriculture states that the area in
winter wheat appears to have been in
creased last fall about seven per cent
a small portion of this area, partially
or wholly destroyed by the severity o
the winter, will be replaced by other
crops. The condition Of the crop, as
far as can be judged by its appearance
in April in the more northern latitudes
before the ground is bare and free from
frost, is below au average, and far be-
low the status of last spring. In the
South, generally, the prospects are
quite flattering, and the crops secure
against all PROBABLE contingencies, ex'

condition of the wheat crop is below
the average.
