FIRST WORKING OF CoRN.-If the
land has been packed by rain since the
corn was planted, run close and break
ideep.-if the land is close and open, the
,ploughing is not important. In that
event use plows that will go over rapidly
and save labor-a shovel, or sweep, OF
!cultivator will answer. Avoid throwing
much dirt to the young corn, only enough
to cover up any young grass that may be
present, but be sure it is well covered,
much hoeing will not pay: in a corn crop,
the plow alone ought very nearly to make
of course thinning and some chopping
is generally unavoidable. Thin to stand
as soon as, danger of frost and worm is
over. Nothing is more prejudicial to q
plant than having another plant with the
same wants growing beside THE strug-
gle for existence then becomes intensi-
fed. Ifthe middles are not very hard or
foul, and time presses, they need not be
ploughed out at this working. In any
event push on rapidly to give cotton its
first working just as soon as it will bear
it. The farmer who, keeps well ahead,
not only stands the best stchance tomake the
best crops, but will do it with very much
less actual labor than the laggard. Let
it never be forgotten that the time to kill
grass is before it can be seen. Besides,
every one knows that early and frequent
workings make cotton grow off rapidly
and an early growth of stalk is one Of the
snrest antecedents of alarge crop of bolls.

utmost of their capacity to defeat the
nomination of the Governor at st. Louis
for they too we'll knew, that his election
to the Presidency would be their death
knell. In addition to the rings and
thieves Of all kinds, large part of the
leading men of his party were earnestly
opposed to him. This arose from two
causes; they knew that if elected he
alone would be President, and would re-
quire no kitchen Cabinet; that the power
behind the throne would be abolished.
They had also been offended by his cold
ness, and disliked him.
/ No candidate before a convention ever
had stronger opposition perhaps, but
what,Bas the;resnlt? He swept them all
aside. by a wave. of the hand and was
nominated almost without contest.
And he was elected, tool Elected by the
people; elected by the electors.
It is all over now, and the Governors
name will be heard no more forever. he
will never be other than private citizen,
and there is no possible object in prais-
ing or blaming him. We can sum up his
case now as fairly and with as littlepas-
sion as the case of julius Caesar. i, am
not his friend, and in the campaign was
inactive; but now that all is forever set
tied, I may say that he would have made
'the;best Chief Magistrate America ever
had or. is likely ever to, have. Ke was
doubtless better fitted for the place than
any man whose name was ever mentioned
for that high position. Could he have
been allowed to fill the place to which he
was elected, his name would have gone
down to future generations as the great
President. What William of Orange was
to England, he would have been to
America, in the establishment of good
government. Indeed, the two were much
alike; both small, feeble men, both cold
and repellant, and unpopular on that ac-
count; both exact and painstaking; both
possessed of executive ability of the very
highest order. Samuel Jones Tilden is
not simply an able man, but a marvellous
man. Not simply a king among men,
buta king among kings. He has been
lied about as few men have; he has been
iswindled as no man ever was-swindled
out of the Presidency. But his loss is
small in comparison to what the nation
has lost in losing his administration.
