The HOP CRoP.-We learn from Mr..
Durgin, of the Puyallup that the bop
picking season is about to commence
About $500 Indians and 200 Cinnamon
are employed to secure the crop, which
must be done in about three weeks
time. There is an indication of fai,
prices for hops, this season, in conse.
quence of partial failure of the Euro
pean crop. The price paid for picking
is S cents per bushel, each of which
yields about two pounds of dry hops.
The poles used are generally from Is to
20 feet long, but one was erected SO
feet in height, in one of the fields, and
vine has grown nearly tothe top. The
prolific yield of hops in this latitude
elicits universal surprise and admiration.

The editor of the Daily Olympi1n says
that the cut-throat appearance of the
candidates for President, as presented
by the atrocious wood-cuts that now
stare the readers in the face from half
the political papers of the land, is
enough to deter any cautious man from
voting" Now we are not at all sur
prised that he is disguised with the ap-
pearance of the Republican candidate
for President, but it is the subject, and
not the artist, who is at fault. The
above likeness of Samuel j. Tilden por-
trays, according to the laws of physiog-
nomy, an unusual breadth of intellect,
and q firm, self-reliant, perseverine
temperament. 1t is that of an acknowl.
edged leader in the sphere of active
life. We are not as named of our can
didate, though presen ted by no better
means than an ordinary wood cut.

LIBERAL REpuBIIcANs IN New YoRK.--
It seems there was q Convention of the
New York Liberal Republicans called
by one John Cochrane, to meet in Sara
toga on the 23d ult. and that num-
Der of delegates sent there were refused
admission unless they pledged them
selves in advance to support the Repub-
lican administration; whereupon meet
ing of delegates from eighteen counties
was held and presided over by Mr..
Brown, a member of the Liberal State
committee, which declared the assem-
blage then in session under the leader
ship of Cockrane incomplete and unau-
thorized to take any action as Republi-
cans. The meeting then adopted the
following resolution:
Resolued, that we have implicit confidence in
the admirable reform policy of the Governor
of this State, and have the fullest faith in his
honest faith with the people. That, without
Undertaking to speak for the Liberal Repub-
lican party, we recommend all true Liberals
of the country to cordially support the St
Louis nominees, as the best means of lifting
the country out of the ruin which threatens it.
Thus we see that the truly Indepen-
dent Republicans cannot be swayed
from what they deem right, even if Mr..
Cochrane and his followers can be cap
tured bv Grantism. The action of the
Cockrane convention in forcing the
delegates to pledge their support to the
Republican administration before being
admitted to the convention, is anti
Liberal, and in perfect accord with Ra
dical tyranny. We also see in what es-
timation Gov. Tilden is held by these
Independent Liberal Republicans, who
reside in his State and who know him
best.

Coop FOE ALABAMA.-The returns
from Alabama get better and better.
The Democrats will have twenty seven
out of thirty three Senators and at least
eighty out of one one hundred Repre-
seRtatives. This secures a Democratic
United States Senator. The election
passed off with great quietness, not
single disturbance of any kind being
reported The State has been until re-
Gently, under the rule of Grantism, the
most infamous fraud and intimidation
have been used in order to carry cleo
tons for the Republican party. In
1872, when the vote of Alabama was
wanted to help in re-electing Grant,
men were arrested all over the State
upon false charges, some of them being
carried hundreds of miles from their
homes, and afterward released without
even the pretence of an examination.
The State swarmed with United States
Deputy Marshals, paid by the Govern
ment to threaten, prosecute, and harass
peaceable citizens of prominence who
opposed Grants corruptAdministration,
in order to strike terror into the minds
of the masses of the same political faith
and brighten them away from the polls.
The worst acts of Louis Napoleon never
exceeded in despotic disregard of the
rights of the citizen those perpetrated
in Alabama in the campaign of 1872 by
the representatives of Grant in that
State.

REs1aNED.--Mr. Otis Freeman q few
days ago, telesraphed his resignation
as agent for the Pacific Mail Steamship
Company on Puget Sound. We are
not aware of the causes which has led
to this course, but we can safely say
that the company have lost q valuable
aid to their business on Puget Sound.
Mr.. Freeman possesses.the friendship
and confidence of every business man
so far as we can ascertain, on the Up.
per Sound, and they greatly regret that
circumstances have rendered necessary
for him to sever his connection with the
company. It is understood, however.
that Mr.. Freeman will be instruments
in establishing another line Of steamers
between San Francisco and Puget
Sound.

INDIANA SWINGING INTO L1NE-A letter
written by Gen. Fitzpatrick to Gov.
Hayes, under date of Aug. 21st, and
published in the Sentinel indianapolis,
gives gloomy account of tho prospects
of the Republican party in tina. State in
the present canvass. He says: 81
have just finished the tour of six coun-
ties in Indiana, and feeling that any re-
liable information from the State will
interest you, write. In the first place
the canvass is we'll conducted, the peo-
pie are enthusiastic and determined and
the old war spirit thoroughly aroused,
and If it were not for one thing we
could rest certain of victory in Octo
Der. There is an Independent party in
this State, confined, it is true, to few
counties, but formidable, and it will de-
feat Gen. Harrison. There is but one
way to overcome this movement. The
leaders of the Independent are poor,
needy, and in debt. They must be
lectured to, and documents must be
placed in their hands, that they may be
convinced of their folly. A bloody
shirt campaign. with money, and Indi-
ana is safe. A financial campaign and
no money, and we are beaten. The
National Committee has done nothing
for Indiana. Alone they are fighting
their battle. and bravely, but unless the
National Committee wakes up and does
its duty to you, to the party and the
country, defeat is certain in October"
