THE CONGRESSIONAL ISSUE.

As State exchange remarks, the great
question in regard to the election of Con>
gresSmeu as of paramount and vital necessity
TO the burdened people, is that of retrcucb-
meIt- The Republican party opposed it en-
"sasse in the present Congress. The Dem>
Ocrats favored it. Hence no Republican
should be elected to Congress Reform, re-
trencbmeut. low taxes, better tiues-these
all come through Democratic administration
To secure them Democratic Congress must
be elected. The friends of economical ad-
ministration everywhere should bear this 10
mind West Virginians should remember it
Whilst Col. Ward a. Lamon is = clever gen.
tlemAn personally, and all that, yet he is a
Republican, a member of the party of ex-
travagance and corruption, and to that extent
favors all the iniquities with which the
present administration has been charged
On the other hand the Hon B. F Martin is
the candidate of the party whose House Of
Representatives has already at one stroke re-
duced the national expenditures thirty mil
lions Of dollars, and that he will unite in fol-
lowing up the same policy no one for mo-

For President OF the United States,
Samuel J. Tilden,
WEST VIRGINIA IN THE VAN.

Never in her political history did West Vir
giuia strike Drawer blow for the cause of
constitutional, and pure government, than
she did on the 10Th of October, 1876 Her
importance as an October State early pre-
sented itself to the Republican leaders No
effort was spared. on their part, to seduce her
from the path of duty. Money was freely in
trOduced here, and literally expended If
she bad betrayed her trust, and gone Repub-
lican. she and Ohio would more than have
neutraliEcd the moral effect of the vote in
Indiana. She had cast her vote for Grant in
1868, and again in 1872. She was always
considered strictly loyal to the Federal Gov
eminent. Ohio WAS the residence of Hayes.
aud Indiana of Hendricks. West Virginia
alone, Of the three states, could be considered
beyond the range of personal influences, and
hence the most important, as an indication of
the drift of popular sentiment. She has
spoken, and in no equivocal terms. Without
any inspiration save their own patriotic im>
pulses. and Withou. contributions or aid from
any e1traneous source. the Democracy OF this
proud little State have risen to the height of
the grand argument, and achieved an over
wheiming victory. Hereafter West Virginia
must be considered an important factor in the
solution of every political problem of ma
tiOnal character. Her Democracy can claim
recognition in every caucus or couucil where
national affairs are considered. They have
now the crown of victory They can say
wheu Mr.. Tilden is elected, as he surely will
be, that they led the van, and directed the
instincts of the people into tho channel of a
victorious nstiOusi reformation. On, then, to
the front, West Virgiuiaus! LIE. November's
achievement far Ousruu Oetobers promise.

The sections Of our country in

branch of farming which has been
found to be the one particularly adap'-

Farmers should raise a variety OF

order that theip tables may be supplied
as the tables Of the sovcrcigns of the
roll should be, but they should de-
pend on one or two things for the

Growing Cabbage.

Mr.. Hyde, in the New York Times,
offers the following suggestions on
this subject:
1t is no use to try to raise cab
bage on poor soil They require good
strong clay loan and plenty of ma
nure. Most soil is adapted to their
growth, but it must no: be so reten-
tive of moisture as to keep the roots
soaked. No plant or animal-except
aquatic in nature-can thrive with
their feet constantly in water, but
the cabbage is impatient of u dry
soil and hot summer. 1t thrivcs
most in the wet days of spring and
autumn. Never plant cabbages for
two years in succession on the same
land. They are exLausters Of course,
for they contain much nutrment and
require much. For fertilizers use a
variety. Barn-yard manure is the
best If only one kind is used, but a
compost of barn yard manure with
light soil, ashes and salt, is better
than any single fertilizer When the
plants first start they are apt to be
eaten down by little black beetle.
TO prevent his ravages and at the
same time to stimulate the growth
Of the plant, dust the leaves with
SCOT or plaster. There is no danger
Of overlooking cabbage on any Ordi-
nary manure. Salt is excellent for
them, but an overdose may cause
them to wither. Whether to SOW
the seed in the hill where the plant is
is expected to grow or to transplant
it is question about which cabbage
growers disagree. The former in
wolves the least labor, but there can
be no question but that transplanting
tends to make the plants stocky. If
the seed is sown in bed the danger
is that the plants will grow too thick
ly, and run up with long and slim
stems, SO that, on the whole, we give
the preference to sowing in the hill,
thinning out early. and leaving the
most vigorous plants to 60 on to per
fectiJn."

Manuriny Lands.

The collection and application Of
manure should go on continually, for
The grasses and cereals and all kinds
81 cultivated plants make an annual
draft on the soil for the ingredients
which rnnablc them 20 buil,. uu their
stems, foliage and seeds. No liquid
or soiid manure suited for cnriching
the soil should he allowed TO 90 To
loss about the homestead. Soap.suds,
wood ashes, SCOT, charcoal, saw-dusr,
&c, may he applied to the soil with
much benefit TO crops Lcachcd wood
ashes are very useful for top-drcsSng
grass land, deepening the color of the
plants and increasing their produc-
livcncSs 50 much rs to double the
agreeable yield Of hay wherever they
are applied in sufficient quantities. All

farming pay, and are in favor Of i'm

Hungarian for Cows.

The following is the testimony OF
DR.. Loring respecting Hungarian
grass: believe can make more
milk with this grass, cut and mixed
with corn meal and shorts, than can
with the best timothy hay, cut and
mixed in the same manner. And
when you remember that you can
raise on ordinary land. by sowing the
seed Of Hungarian grass late in June,
from two and half to three and a
half tons Of good fodder to the acre.
and that this crop can be sown after
we have ascertained whether we are
going to have q good crop of hay or
not, you will see the value of this
grass. l have such high opinion of
it that on my farm this year and last
] raised from seventy-fve to a hun
dred tons of it for the purpose Of
feeding to my milch cows during the
winter.

House. an advertising divorce LAWYER.
doing business at 1871 Broad way,
New York, was shot and killed by
his rcputed wife last night, at his res
idenencc at Lawrence Station. House
was engaged almost exclusively n
procuring divorces, advertising as
an. House." and had an extensive
and profitable business. Some nine
years ago his services was secured
by Irene a. Denver, Of this county,
who wished 10 be separated from her
husband. Mrs. Denver whose maid
en- name was Nansant had been d.
vorced from former husband, a pho
tographer, named Charles Anderson,
whom she married very young BY
him she had one child, boy, called
Willie. She was a pretty blonde
when she called en- House, Just turn
ed of twenty, and with something of
II history. During the war, after her
| separation from her first husband, she
peddled matches around this city.
She was dnshing in style and free in
manner, although of respectable par
ents, and acquired much notoriety
before her second marriage. House
was thirty-threc, native of Cort ana
county, New York, and even a. that
time prospecting in his business. He
procured the divorce his client wished,
and becoming enamored with her
married her, as she claims. AT least
they have lived together for eight
years till recently. at New York. The
last years of their life it is reported
were far from harmonious. House
had surly temper, and his wife was
extremely jealous and interferred in
his business. Hol S grew rich and
bought a farm at Lawrence, near
Trenton. He was accustomed to
take the train daily from New York
and reach Lawrence at 6 in the even
ing. Last evening his wife was max
ing out pay roll and asked him TO
help her. He refused High words
followed, and he attempted to strike
her, when Willie, grown up lad in
terfered, House turned on the boy and
threatened him with violence. The
mother again interferred, when House
pushed her down, kicked her in the
stomach and pulled her hair She
struggled to her feet, ran into her
room adjoining, snatched up a revol-
yer and fired. The ball struck Hous-
e's temple killing him instantly. Neigh
bors came IN aud wrested the revo,v r
from the woman, and kept her in Gus
tody until Coroner Bodile arrived
from Trenton. She was brought
to Trenton late at night and loGg-
ed in Jail Coroner and County
Physician Mckenzie called ali in
quest this morning, complaint hav-
ing been made by Houses sister,
Lucretia. AT the inquest eight wit
nesses were examined, including Lu-
cretia, and the sister and son of Mrs.
House. The jury, after short de-
liberation, decided that deceased
came TO his death from a pistol-shot
wound inflicted by pistol in the
hands Of Irene A. House. and that
the act was willful' and deliberate"
Mrs. House shows great grief and
says the pistol went off accidentally.
