SEED WHEAT.

In the eastern portion Of this State and
in Iowa there is good deal of anxious
effort being made to secure good sound
wheat for seed. In those localities, the
grain was greatly damaged by the frequent
rains during, and at the close OF harvest.
That difficulty was not experienced, to any
great extent, in this locality. A large pro-
portion Of last years crop was gathered
without being injured in the slightest, and
much Of it is of excellent quality. There
is some, however, that from different
causes, is not the kind Of grain should be
used for seed. and enough Of it to make it
verp important that care should be exer-
cised in the selection Of seed. 1t is fact,
we'll known in this community, that the
poor crops of the last two or three years
were not entirely the result Of grasshopper
ravsges. Almost every man with whom
we have talked Oh the subject hiss cited
cases where the crops would rot have paid
for harvesting if there had not been grsss
hopper this side the Rocky Mountains.
Poor Seed will not, under the most favor
able circumstances, produce good crop
and, when indiderently put in, is sure to
result in q very poor one. There is an
abundance of wheat in this locality suitable
for seed and if any Of the farmers are moi
satisfied that what they have on hand ii
perfectly reliable, they should exchange.

HAYES ELECTED +!

The bulletin in front of the Atlantic s
Pacific telegraph office, at noon on Thurs
day, announces the fact that Hayes has
the 1s5 electoral votes necessary to his
election, and is, therefore, the constitutions
ally elected President of the United States.
Much might be said of the efforts of the
Democrats to impede and defeat this re-
suit, but lacking time and space, it is
enough to make the simple announcement.
There is glory enough in the thought that
the government is still in the hands of its
friends, and that councils of rebeidom
have been defeated and brought to
nought. Now where is that Democratic
powderl

who on the announcement .Of fire became
panic stricken and lost all reason and self
control. The result may be imagined. In
the midst of the confusion and crowd, a

it is estimated that not less than $50. per-

object being to so impress the public mind

THE ELECTORAL VOTE.
Proposition of Carl Schurz and 9th

Ex-SenatoIs Carl Schurz and John B.
Henderson, and other prominent men of
this city have forwarded a letter to the
President of the United States Senate, rel
ative to the counting of the electoral vote,
with the request that he lay it before the
Senate. They say that the present condi-
tion of the country calls for some action
which shall settle the political disquietude.
The clause in the Constitution respecting
the canvassing of the electoral vote is
quoted and pronounced indefinite and La
bic to divers constructions. The attempt
to canvass the vote in the joint session of
Congress is deprecated as certain to raise
partizan issues and develop into strife
which may prove most disastrous to the
country. The letter then proposes as
remedy that the whole matter shall be
transferred to the Supreme Court of the
United States. 1t is urged that that is the
only tribunal from which fair and unpar-
tizan decision, one which will satisfy the
whole people, can be obtained. To effect
this the letter proposes that the two Hous-
eS shall improve the three weeks preceding
Christmas in framing and agreeing upon
Constitutional amendment, placing in the
Supreme Court the duty of canvaSsing the
islatures meet Immediately after the holi-
days, when the amendment could be sub
mitted, and the letter holds to the opinion
that the amendment would be ratified with
out delay, so that it could be made part
of the Constitution and apply to the pres
ent election. Both of the Presidential can
didates, it is urged, would recognize the
wisdom of this course, and both Republi-
can and Democratic Legislatures would
ratify. The letter dwells at length on the
wisdom of removing the important matter
from tribunal likely to be affected by
party strife.
st. Louis, Dec. 8, 1876.
The forty-ffth Congress will be close
and hot, and those who hold seats in it,
will have to earn their salary. Elegant
leisure and lounging will not be compatible
with watchful and vigilant discharge of
duty. Constafe attention will be required
to watch and hold in check the opposite
party. There will be no drawing of salaries
earned while looking after the business of
others, or the home affairs of self.
Hewitt, Tilden's right bower, is for S. S.
Cox for Speaker, and says he is sure of cleo
ton. On the other hand, the friends of
Mr.. Sayler, of Cincinnati, say that he will
have no trouble in being reelected. Ran
dali is down in New Orleans trying to
count Tilden in, and deserves to have Hew-
tits support for Speaker.
The President is reported to be consider
ably irritated at the statement made in the
protest sent him by Wade Hampton, Sena-
tor Gordon and others, that not one drop
of blood has been shed in any political dis
turbance except by Republicans, which he
considers direct contradiction and refec-
ton upon his statement of facts contained
in his special message sent to Congress at
the last session regarding the Hamburg
massacre.
