GRANTS Cousin FURNISHED.

From the Omaha Herald October
10th, we learn that Col. Oliver A.
Patton, we'll known to many of our
citizens, and cousin of Gen. Grants,
by marriage, and at present Register
of the land office, Salt Lake city,
Utae, was soundly thrashed by By
ron Groo, one of the editors of the
Herald, for calling him "a liar, knave
and scoundrel." Patton now wants
to fight duel, but has not yet been
able to secure anyone to bear the
challenge or to act as his second.

Onr Etate.

We have received, says the Clarks-
burg Nelos, a letter from a gentleman
in Ohio, who contemplates settling in
this State, andenquiring about lands
here. To all such we win say, that
cheap homes can be had in this State
on favorable terms, and that there
is as great inducements to settlers
here as can be found in the West.
The price of lands vary here and it
is almost out of the question to give
a fair estimate, the price depending
on the locality and the improve
ments. Wild lands in some parts of
the State can be had as cheap as in
the west, with the additional advan-
tage of plenty Of good timber and
pure water.
We hope to see the tide of immi-
grafton turn to great extent to
West Virginia, and there is now a
reasonable prospect that it will do so.
We have attracted a great deal Of at
tention at the Centennial exhibition.
We have taken the first premium for
fine wool, have convinced the world
that we can produce as good grain,
beef and pork, as any portion of the
United States and have shown a
greater variety Of minerals than any
other State, and have them in a
greater abundance. Our Ohio cores
pendent, and all others who contem-
plate changing their surroundings,
cannot do better than come to West
Virginia. We want no drones, but
we do need good live men who are
willing to work.

The digest of the crop returns for
October as prepared at the Depart
ment of Agriculture indicates re-
duction in the yield of the wheat
crop of nearly one-sixth, while the
quality is some what superior. Ey-
cry section of the Union indicates a
reduced product except the Middle
States. The figures point to u yield
of about 245,OOO,OOO bushels, 4 per
cent less than 1875, but the quality
is better. Barley is six per cent less
than last year. Buckwhcat a full
average. Oats show falling off Of
% per cent; every section of the I'm
ion is deficient, The corn crop de.
fcicnt, but figures are otyet obtain
ed. The cotton crop will be large,
an likely to approach the heavy yield
of 1875. Sweet potatoes are a full
average crop. Sorghum a full pro-
duction. The tobacco report shows
about the average production.

Three Thousand Immigrants Il
Month,

An English company propose to
put on first-class line Of steamships
between Savannah or Brunswick and
Liverpool at once, and keep them
running steadily, provided the State
will give them a bonus of $4,000 a
year for three years. The guarantee
besides that they will land 1900 i'm,
migrants per month on our Shores
Gov. Smith is strongly in favor Of
accepting the proposition. The vast
benefits that will accrue from this
hood-tide of immigration cannot be
estimated by figures. A late official
.enort published shows that there arc
l0,,0OO,0G1 c. acres Of Itch land lying
idle in Georgia to,GSy, THIS lend
put under intelligent cultivation
would double our wealth in ten years.
The immigrants that these ships
would bring over would naturally
seek agricultural pursuits in the alb,
sence of large manufacturing inter
ests, and thousands of acres would
soon be thrifty occupied and wisely
cultivated.-Atlanta (Ga,) ConStitt-

THE RESULT.

We are able TO greet our patrons
this morning with the glad tidings
of the election of Tilden and Hen
bricks, Notwithstanding the dcsper-
ate means resorted to by the Repub-
licans throughout the country, the
quartering of soldiers in peaceful
states to carry elections, &c. The
people of the South have risen in
their might and oyerthrown their
oppressors, while the people of the
North have rebuked the insolence,
dishonesty, and usurpations of the
Grant Administration. We not only
have "solid" South, but nearly n
"solid" North, arrayed against, and
repudiating the most corrupt party
that ever disgraced any land. The
old ship of State is now in honest
hands, and for next four years will be
steered clear of the breakers, on
which the ship has been run by
the Republican party. 1t would
have been calamity tohave given
the Republicans another four years
lease of power. Again we congratu-
late the country on its deliverance
from the hands of those who have
for the past eight years, tried to ruin
this country and destroy our liber-
ties.

The impetous given of late years
to the expectation of beef on the hooi
is continually growing, There are
now sent to Glasgow, Scotland, an
average of from one hundred and fifty
to two hundred and fifty head Of
American cattle, and this number
have been landed every week since
July last. Besides this live stock
about one hundred and fifty slaught.
cred beeyes per week have also been
consigned to Glasgow parties with
success, and generally in good con-
dition. Tho plan of shipping live

demonstrated all perfectly feasible, il

American beef and thus open u con.
slant demand for this great product

The Meeting Thursday Night.

Hon. John L. kenna, according to
appointment, made a most excellent
speech at the Court House last Thurs
day night, to u crowded house. We
know that u report of his speech has
now no bearing upon the election at
this time, for he is now the member
of Congress elect by from 5000 to
1900 majority, but mention it to
show our high appreciation of the
man, and to give the patriotic reso,
luton offered by Gen. John A. Nc
Causland, and to show the patriotic
sentiment that pervadcd the meet
ing when the General alluded to the
usurpation of the President in send
ing troops in times of profound
peace and quiet, to control elections
by the use of the bayonet, The res
olution above alluded to is as follows:
RGSOlrcd, That we condemn the
concentrating of Federal troops in
South Carolina and other Southern
States to intimidate the people and
control elections, as unwarrantcd by
precedent or law, and that said act
is n fragrant usurpation of power and
an attempt to tramplc upon the sa-
cred rights Of the people, and design.
ed to incite and foment violence.
We need only add that this rcso-
luton was adopted with a unanimi.
ty becoming Il brave, determined,
patriotic and loyal people,

INC Pork I,ncI.ing InterCst.

Cincinnati seems to have lost its
position IS the pork packing centre.
Chicago packed last year about ,600,-
200 to go, 900 at Cincinnati. Chica.
go has now pork-packing capacity
Of $4,000 hogs a day, and expect to
pack more than halftke Western hog
crop during 1867, counting both
summer and winter. The average
difference in the tempature between
the two cities is greatly in favor Of
Chicago, there being losing season
every few years at the more souther-
ly point. The corn area has been
moving northward. The bureau of
agriculture reports a steady decrease
in the hog crop for three years, most
ly in the Western States, and due to
shorter corn crops probably. The
number in all States is estimated at
%, 700,000in January, 1876, as against
30,S00,000 in January, 1874. Three
fourths of the pork, products expert
ed now go to the continent in
stead of to England, as formerly.
