The First October Election.
From the Philadelphia Times, Ind.

FROM the Phnauelphla Times, lnd.
We observe that Georgia is frequent.
lymentloned as the next State in which
an election is to be held. This is an
error. The next State in which an
election will be held is the new state
of Colorado, which is to elect its first
Governor, all its State and county offs
GERS and its Legislature on Tuesday,
October3. Under,an agreement already
made the Legislature chosen on that
day will select the Presidential elecs
tors, as used to be done in South
Carolina before the war so that while
a Governor and all the State officers
are to be elected. the real interest of
the contest will centre on the Legisla-
ture, which is to choose not only the
Presidential electors, but also two
United States Senators. This letter
is. the special point to which the Re-
publicans are directing all their ef-
forts.
The election in Georgia follows on
the next day, Wednesday, October, 4.
OF the result there, no doubt exists.
1t will be Democratic victory. Only
eight years ago Georgia was carried
W VIC ltCpuDllCdu5, WuO uIleu Iuc
highest Offices in the State with men
who subsequently proved to be little
less than common thieves, and who
plundered the people of Georgia and
the capilists of the country in every
possible way. Since that time Georgia
has been rescued from her spoilers,
and is now, under Democratic ad-
ministration, one of the most prosper
GUS and peaceful States in the Union.
The rights of the colored citizens are
as much respected there as they are in
New York, and "outrages" are un-
known. The story of the Republican
domination in that State was a story
of public villainy. The story of the
Democratic denomination has been
story of progress and order.
Every intelligent citizen who has
anything TO win or lose, now supports
the Democratic ticket. The number
of colored citizens who support the
Democratic candidates increases every
year, which is the best possible prooi
that the colored people in Georgis
partake the general prosperity, and
are learning the value of an homes,
government. They have had more
than enough, like the whites, of carpet
baggers and public robbers.

- Political probabilities by Zach Chand-
Ter meteoroligist. are thus given by the
Baltimore Gazette: The storm centre las
moved from Vermont and Maine to Ohio
and Indiana. the area of lowest pressure
resting over Indiana. For the latter
State the probabilities are high winds
and heavy rains with cloudy and threat
enlng weather all over the West. Dam
ger signals have been ordered for Ohio,
as the storm there may be no less violent
than in Indiana.

lsT-Force Feed Arrangement for Sowing
Grain, consisting Of one gum and one iron
roller-which is really the only force feed ar
rangement made-giving you an even and
regular distribution of grain at all times. Can
sow any amount of grain, from peck to two
bushels
2D-The Patent Spring Hoes, having gum
springs on end of Drag-Bar, (being the only
perfect gum-spring arrangement) thereby
doing away with the old wooden brake-pins,
and allowing the Drill to pass any obstruc-
tion that the axle will 60 over without inter-
fering with working Of Drill.
3D-The Patent movable or sliding Fulcrum
Of Spring Bar for sowing the grain deep or
shallow, is an improvement not possessed by
any other drill.
4TH-The Patent shield for coUering the Gear
s0heels, to prevent clogging or cramping with
weeds, cornstalks or accumulation Of grit and
gravel, which make a Drill run heavy, is a
needed improvement over all other drills.
5rH-The Land Surveyor is as correct as it
is possible to make one, having one faA show
ing Lie acre, and another face registering
the acres
Middletown transcript., 1876-08-26

6rH-The Patent A1le is SO constructed that
the bearings are all on the outer and inner
parts of Spindle, causing the Drill to run
lighter to the team, and more steady, than if
bearing was all on center of spindle.
7TH-All we can say for the Putent Guano
or Fertilizer Attachment is that it is the only
one that will sow or distribute properly all
kinds of fertilizers in all conditions.
The BEST also has Patent Hoe Shifter, by
which the Boots can be changed from straight
to zigzag line, or vice versa, while seeding
along. The Grass Seed Attachment is perfect
In fact, it would be impossible to give all the
good and superior points possessed by this
