WARRINGTON, D. c., Dec. %, '76.
Tbs impression is generally preva-
lent about town that no material pro.
gress will be made towards harmonic
ing the differences of The House and
Senate relative to the method ofcount-
ing end declaring the electoral vote,
until the committee seat South shall
have completed their sabors there and
made their reports and many predict
that even then, a reconciliation of
'views~ill be found impossible. Almost
three weeks ofthe session have resulted
IN nothing more definite 10 tho matter
than to establish the fact that Mr..
Randall aud his Democratic followers
of the House will have the Senate
almost solidly against them, 10 any
attempt to count in Mr.. Tilden by
virtue Of the twenty second joint rule,
which was the corner stone upon which
the fabric of their hopes chiefly rested
on the opening day Of the session.
Grover.bas found the Republic un-
grateful for his services. He has been
trsste6 with rudenesa and disrespect
by His own political friends. through
cut all the discussions in Congress,
provoked by his desperate sxpedieht
to save Z 9 great cause Of Honesty
and Reform" A disposition has been
lmanifest to white-wash his illegal
action by pleading the purity of his
motives. This is about as far as any
ono has yentured to go in his defense,
ard hardly one serious effort has been
made in behalf of Cronin's right to
cast one Of Oregon's electoral votes.
The situation then, at the end of the
third week. remains practically the
same as on the 9th inst. after the cleo
tors Of the several States had met and
cast their votes, 1876 for Hayes and 1874
for Tilden, with the twenty second
joint rule eliminated(p (prObAbly)and the

Oregon casS,) before the Senate Com

This makes fair showing for the dem.
ocracy of the Green Mountain State. The
Democratic vote is 4722 larger than ever
cast in the state, while the Republican vote
is only Sls larger than the highest vote.
The increase of the Republican vote over
the election of 1874 is about thirty-three
per cent. while the Democratic gain over
the same election is about fifty seven per
cent The results are satisfactory to the
Democracy of the country. The same
rer centage of gain throughout the Union
would give Tilden nearly every state.

LONGvIEw.
Col. Crockett's Stock Farm, Fine stock
and Pleasant Home.

A recent visit to Longview, about s
miles southeast of this city and just across
the Rock river showed a wonderful I'M
provement in his stock since we were there
year ago. He has a large and very
beautiful farm, on the rich bottoms of the
Rock river, and rich and sweet pastures of
blue grass on the elevated lands. His
buildings are on an eminence south of the
highway. commanding long view up and
down the Rock river valley. And his
home is the abode of peace, comfort, hap
piness and plenty.
Col. Crockett is one of the most inteli-
gent stock breeders in the country, aud
frequently was in Europe to Gull choice
specimens of stock for importation while
he was resident of Kentucky. He is,
as our readers know, the breeder of the
celebrated trotter, Lula, and sold her for
$4,000. Kate Crockett, the fine dam OF
Lula, has left him valuable progeny Of
young horses, sand he has many other
fine breeds. He has now some 80 head OF
choice stock. some of them sucklings, and
so on up to mature animals, and among
them are some of the handsomest and
quickest steppers of their age in the
country.
But it is not in horses alone that Col.
Crockett excels. He has a large herd OF
the finest Durhams in this region, among
them not only full-boods but thorough
breds, the names of several of which can
be found in the American Herd Book.
His attention to fine cattle is as close as
to horses, and his exhibition of stock is one
of the best in this vicinity.
While there he showed US an account
of a recent sale of Short Horns in Bourbon
and Harrison counties, Kentucky. About
20, 900 persons were present.
In Harrison county, at the farm of Hon.
T. j. Megibben, 76 well bred animals were
sold. The average of Sc females sold was
1862 so; 20 bulls averaged $27l; average
on entire lot SAP.
In Bourbon county, at the farm of g. NJ.
Bedford, near Paris. Forty'eight cows
and heifers. and three extra calves, brought
$37 ,65S, averaging $7SS per head; twenty
one bulls were sold for 1875, sos, averaging
$1,000. The Duke Of Thorndale brought
ST., 900, the largest price ever realized for
bull in this country.
This shows the interest taken ir these
valuable animals, and that Col Crockett
Mr.. Whitsitt, Mr.. Holloway, and Others
in this region are rendering valuable ser
vice to the west in aiding in improving the
breed of cattle.

Compromised with His Daughters
Seducer.

In this paper last evening on article
appeared stating that the complaint against
James Roam, of Milan, had been withdrawn,
there being some technical fault ID the
complaint against him for the seduction of
the daughter of ,Ex-Marshal Cannum, of
that place. 1t is now said that instead of
this being true, Cannum has compromised
the matter with his daughters seducer, by
his agreeing to pay all expenses already
incurred and also pay for Roses confne-
ment For this, :Cannum refused to APP
pear against Roam and he was discharged.
1t is said that Roan's defense was that he
had paid the girl for all liberties which he
had taken, and that he could prove it.

An indisputable Recommendation Of this

there once become regular patrons there
after. Persons concentrating visiting or
passing through New York, or to attend
the centennial, will do well to give the

supplies every advantage afforded by a
