returnable tomorrow, requiring Sid
ney Dillon, Jay Gould and William

A meeting of the board OF directors
of the Pacific Mail Steamship Co. has
been called for this afternoon, and it
is rumored that Mr.. Gould is about to
resign and take with him his friends

the result of the conviction forced upon
him by the examination of the trans

of the number of votes likely to be
east by the Hatch party at the polls.

Suppose this game should succeed
suppose the Democracy should tri-

sensible man doubt that the section

would control the policy? Democrat
ic success would mean not simply a
Democratic President, but Demo-
cratic Congress-a Congress made up
like the present House, of Confederate

in their power to contorol their color
ed population, so that they may Sc
care forever a peasantry suitable to
the plantation system. But whilst
this is the feeling that predominates
with the gentlemen of the South, the
Northern Democratic party adhere
to the doctrine of State Sovereignty,
not from any special sympathy with
the plantation system, but simply TO
secure for themselves the votes OF
the South, that they might enjoy the
spoils Of office. They know full well
that they cannot holi the national
purse without the aid of the South,
and hence they naturally coalesce
with the old rebel element. But
shall we have nation that can pro-
tect the rights of its citizens, or shall
We have mere confederation of
States for the maintenance of virtu-

question, and it ia therefore of great
consequence whom we send to Con-
gress, as we'll as whom we place in

/, therefore, am greatly gratified
that wehave in nomination for the
Houss of Representatives., a gentle
man so capable as your honored fell
lowtownsman, Geo. G. Hazs elton. As a
genial friend, accomplished scholar,
brilliant orator, able lawyer, and
wel!-informed statesman, he stands
second to none in the district. But
with all these accomplishments he is
faithful and true to the principles OF
Republcanism. Many whom we
would not have suspected OF such
weakness have had their minds
warped by losing, nomination or
an election, or by some personal dis
appointment. Not 80 with Mr.. Hazel

defeated for the nomination, but with
a magnanimity worthy OF a true

tions, and thus proved his devotion

A Friendly Word For Mr.. Hazelton
fFrom the B.scobel Dial. }

A~oNSSSA
The following letter from the Rev.
III. Brisbane of Arena, to the Bosco-
bel Press, we re-publish with pleas
ure. DR.. B. is known throughout
the whole country as among the
earliest and most earnest friends of
true freedom of America.
Mr.. EDITOR 1T is frequently said
there is no issue of any Importance
between the Republican and Demo>
cratic parties, that the old issues
have passed away, and that the only
question now before us is, which
party will be the most likely to re-
lieve the country of the cormorants
that fill themselves out of the public
treasury. This is a deluslon fraught
with immense consequences. There
is radical difference, one that ought
not to be ignored by any patriot
who fought for, or contributed to tie
support of the war in defence of the
Union. The doctrine of State Sover-
eighty remains in the Democratic
party and if this doctrine be not re.
sisted and put forever to silence,
there is no safety for the future of
this government. 1t was this fallacy
that laid the foundation of the evils
that now beset the nation. The
Democratic party adopted the plank
that Mr.. Calhoun required of them
before be would consent to act with
that party. They still adhere to the
doctrine, notwithstanding all the con-
sequences we have realized but the
Republicans recognize the distinction
between State Rights and State
Sovereignty snd SO make world
wide difference between them and
the Democrats. With the cx-con-
federates, all other questions fade in.
to insigniticance compared with this.
If they can once get this as the con-
firmed principle of our government
they will then feel that they have it

Condition of the Farmers.

There has been a good deal of un.
necessary croaking during the past
month because of the alleged unfor-
tunate condition of the farmers in the
Northwestern States. The wheat
crop is certainly short-that is about
one half of the usual yield has been
harvested, Upon this basis the Gro ak
ers presume that the farmer is in a
desperate condition and cannot pay
any debts this fall.
Now we undertake to say the gem
eral condition Of the farmer in these
States at the close of the season of
1876 is as good as it was in 1877 s.
True, he has raised far less wheat,
but he has gathered far more corn.
In 1875 we had bitter frost in
August and again in early Septem-
Der, and thereby at least two-thlrds
of the corn crop was cut off in Wis
consin, Minnesota and Dakota That
loss was so severe that it was not av-
eraged by the larger supply of wheat.
To-day is the 25th of September and
there has been no frost in all the vast
region from Milwaukee to Pembina
AS consequence the corn crop in
Wisconsin, Minnesota, Dakota, North
ern Iowa and Nebraska is literally
magnificent. Rarely has the farmer
witnessed its equal. This insures a
large hog crop. Potatoes are also
abundant and of good quality. 1t has
likewise been most favorable season
for fruit. Wisconsin has raised al
most sufficient supply of apples and
grapes for her home consumption.
The hop crop has been good, and
been gathered before it was touched
by frest.
The cranberry crop, large indus
try in the valleys Of the Fox and
Wisconsin rivers and their tributa
ries, was utterly blasted by the early
frost in 1875. 1t has suffered no such
misfortune in 1876, and the product
is large, and as consequence there
will be remuneration in those dis
tricts where last year there was ruin
and mourning.
The tobacco crop has become g
considerable industry in the centra
counties of this State. Last year i
was blasted by frost: this year it i:
all that could be desired. The hay
crop has been very large, and the
grass hiss been super excellent through
the summer and into the autumn; SC
this insures plenty of butter and
cheese, and the fattening of beef cat
tie to their highest condition.
The farmer is receiving muct
higher price for his wheat than ht
could have anticipated two months
ago. 1t was then feared that, though
his crop was very light, the price
would be equally so. 1t is now quite
certain that the price for the crop o
1876 will be much higher than the az
erage of ordinary years. Under these
circumstances we have no hesitation
in saying that The croaking is out o
place, and that the farmers of tht
Northwestern States will receive more
money for their products in 1876 thar
they obtained for their products il
1875. The good or bad condition o
any particular classes is to be deter
mined not by any single article
which they produce or sell, but by th'
average of the whole oftheir products
Cracking generally fixes upon spec
ial loss and rarely considers the gen
eral results, and that is evidently tn,
mistake of the Centennial croakers.-
