WISCONSIN ELECTION.

turns from the Wisconsin election will be
compared with those of one year ago, when
Hayes had 5000 plurality over Tilden, and
800 majority over Tilden and Cooper.
RUNNING LIKE SCARED WOLF.
MILWAUKEE, November 6.-Sixty-six
towns and wards give Smith, Republican,
for Governor, 363 majority, Republican
gain of 900. The city Of Milwaukee, ex-
cept FIVE precincts; gives lightweight
majority for Smith, Republican. Ninety
eight towns and wards give Smith 600
majority, Republican gain of 700.

The chairman of the Democratic State
Central Committee, expresses the opinion
that il will take the official canvass to
decide the result on the State ticket. One
hundred and sixty-three towns and pre-
cincts give Smith, R'publican, fifteen hum
dred majority, a net Republican gain of
400.
Two hundred and ten towns gives Smith,
Republican, 1900 plurality over Maliery,
Democrat, net Republican gain 900. The
Republicans claim the election OF Smith,
by from 5000 to 5000 majority, but the
Democrats claim that they have elected at

ABOUT BANKS.

Read the letter which we copy elsewhere,
from Gen. C. ". Babcock, on the general
subject of savings banks. He expresses but
very little faith in this kind of institutions
generally, and gives some good advice to his
fellow-citizens in regard to their duty to
their neighbors. He shows very clearly
the wrong policy of keeping silent and try
ing to hush the matter up, when bank is
known to be shaky, in the hope of enabling
the bank officers to pull through and
shows that the only just and honest way to
do when a hank becomes weak is to close i,
up at once, and give alf of Its creditors an
equal chance. 1t is an admirable article.
and will repay . careful perusal.

HoGE STATION, Kan, Nov. ), 1877.
EDITOR TINES Il have read in the col
umns of your most estimable paper, at va
rious times letters from both Tonganoxie
and Fairmount, also from Reno, but have
never seen single line written from Hoge,
upon any subject but politics. While l
have read very brilliant descriptions of the
other stations on the Leavenworth and Law
renee railroad, l hardly think it fair to
leave Hoge without representation, for l
know We can easily boast of as good society,
as good business men, as fine schools, and as
much intelligence as either of the above
mentioned places.
Although Hoge is not town and laid
off in town lots, there are a great
many fine farms, and l can
safely say As many inhabitants, and good
citizens, as at either Tonganoxie or Fair
mount: true there is not so much business,
in the line OF shipping done by our railroad
agent, but tits because this is new place
and has not the advantage of the others,
but give Hodge sidetrack, and a good de-
pot and she will in a very short time rank
with the best of country stations.
The Catholics have large church in
construction, which when completed, will
surpass, in elegance, and comfort any
church at either Fairmount, Tonganoxie or
Reno. The Methodists have devotional ser
vices two Sabbaths of each month and the
Presbyterians have a regular organized
church. There are two good schools here,
one taught by Mr.. +. {. Harris young
but very efficient teacher, the other is
taught by Miss E. F. Glasgow, a very intel
iigent lady, and one OF the firs,-class teach
ers of the county.
The fruit crop of the season has been very
good. There were some of the finest peaches
grown on the farm of Colonel W. ID. Hoas-
ton, that We ever looked upon, and on the
farm of VIM. Magazines. was grown large
quantity of fine apples. Also some very
fine pears. The wheat farm of Mr.. Jas. L.
Byers, is sight fair to look upon. There
is fine prospect for an abundant crop of
wheat throughout the vicinity.
j. f. Barrett, one of Hoge's oldes; citi-
zens. who is acting agent for the Kansas
Pacific Railway Company, and the form
er Postmaster, has done con-
siderable improving on his place during
the past season.
The farm of Mr.. VIM. NJ Clough cannot
be e1celled, and he being thorough busi-
ness gentleman still continues to inprove
it. Mr.. E. N. Refs also owns large, well
regulated farm. There are numerous
other topics, should like to write upon,
but knowing the value OF space in the col
umns Of your worthy paper, subscribe
myself, fearing that intrude.
Very respectfully, A READER.

HREADSUFFS AND GOLD.

In view OF large, and il may be sudden,
demand for gold, the bank OF England late
ly raised its rate of discount from three to
four per cent. After fortnight's trial this
proved unable to restrain the outflow Of
specie from the Golfers OF the bank. There
fore, another turn OF the screw has raised
the rate Of discount to FIVE per cent. There
are two staples of American produce which
England must have, and just now, can be
supplied only by the United States These
are cotton and breadstuffs. Formerly, be-
fore We began TO manufacture our own cot
ton and our own metals, the tradewith Eng
land was more easy than profitable to U.s.
English capital and labor worked up our
raw materials, and sold them to US at from
three to four hundred per nt profit The
balance of trade was then in favor of Eng
land, and we often had to send heavy re.
mittances in gold TO square the account
Nor, manufacturing for ourselves, instead
OF paying, we have to receive large
amount of gold from Europe. If they take,
as they must, our cotton and breadstuffs
they have to pay for them, not in muslins,
calicoes, and cutlery, hut in hard cash
Thus it has come that the Bank OF England
is afraid OF great drain OF gold to pay off
British Indebtedness to this country.

HOME GRDNN TEA.

The recent successful attempts at tea cul-
ture in Texas have caused many persons
connected with the trade in China, Japan
and England, to think it quite probable
that the cultivation Of tea will speedily be
proceeded with in the New World. The
plant tbotanically, Thea SiaeEs;s) is said To
thrive in the Southern and Western dis
tricts OF the American continent quite rs
well as on the other side of The Pacific in
deed. generally almost anywhere within
forty-fiye degrees of the equator this hardy
shrub may be grown in tho
open air. The process Of its
culture is very simple, but the
preparation OF the leaves aad their gather
eng has to he carefully attended 10. These
are no great difficulties, however, seeing
that considerable portion Of the tea now
consumed in England is produced and man
ipulated in Assam, in the northeast OF
British India, and that Tor long time past
all the tea used in the Empire Of Brazil
mas DStH IldIlhe tiASIt- -NSdi'. ANSht.
years ago an attempt to produce tea in
Pennsylvania was regarded with interest,
but fell through for want OF funds, We be-
lieve. The Pacific section OF this country,
however, is probably destined TO produce
tea largely, and among the immigrants
from the Celestial Empire" now in Cali
fornia there doubtless are great many
whose acquaintance with the tea-producing
processes may I've advantageousIy utilized.

and, although no formal meetings have yet
