Minnesota Flour.

The particular process in flour
called the "new process"
has worked q revolution in Minneso-
ia. For years "spring wheat -four"
had ruled g SO to 8 90 per barrel less
than winter wheat flour, until about
the year 1870. or perhaps Isomewhat
earlier. Then q processffor extract
ing the gray, impalpable powder in
the spring wheat flour was introduced
and called the "patent process" The

wheat -four to put upon the market o
very delicate and attractive -four, and
for the making of hot biscuit and
pastry it has given great satisfaction
in eastern markets, and experienced
very large sale, yet it is not denied
that the best qualities of winter
wheat -four are better for breadmak-
ing than are the best qualities Of the
new process spring wheat -four.
Be this as it may, the extraordinary
success of the new process flour has
greatly stimulated the building of
mills in Minnesota, and now, instead
of exporting such vast quantities OF
wheat as she formerly did, Minneso.
ia largely manufactures her wheat.
The shipment of -four manufactured
during October, from Minneapolis
alone were 10000 barrels, and will
probably exceed one million barrels
for twelve months. Upon this achiev.

The whole method of electing the

United States win be found briefly
compressed into the following pro-
Visions Of the law. Every intelligent
citisen Of the United States should
know them by heart:
The electors shall meet in their
respective States, and vote by ballot
for President and Vice. President, :
and they shall make distinct lists of
al porSons voted for as President,
and Of all persons voted for as Vice.
President and Of the number of votes
cast for each which lists they shall
sign and certify, and transfer sealed
to the seat Of the Government of the
United States, directed to the Presi-
dent OF the Senate the President of
the Senate shall, in the presence Of
the Senate and House of Representa-
dives, open oil the certificates, and the
vote shall then be counted /; the person

The oubernatovIa Question Settled

The ouboTnatorlal Question Settled.
Hon. &. G. Wright, to whose Sem
atorial seat Governor Kirkwood will
succeed on the 4th Of March next, has
been named by . correspondent of
the State Register as q candidate for
Governor. The Muscatine Journal
makes haste to endorse the sugges-
ton. The maker and the endorser
in this case, we fear, overlooked the
fact that such a selection would in
volve the necessity of doubling the
Governors salary, reducing that of
the other state officers, cutting down
the per diem of the pages Of the SEN
ate and House, putting the laborers
on the new Capitol building on three
quarters pay, and depriving the pea.
nut vendors in the old Capitol of their
full rations.
1t is rather early, perhaps, for the
opening of the Gubernatorial cam
paign, but some of the papers are
eagerly entering upon it. The name
of the Hon. John H. Gear, of Bur-
lington, Speaker of the present and
preceding General Assembly, and
that of Hon. James Wilson, men,
Der of Congress from the fifth dis.
trict, are now added to that Of Sena-
tor Wright, in the list of probable
candidates. OF these gentlemen, Mr..
Gear is doubtless the most prominent,
as he is, on the whole, much the mos
desirable. Mr.. Gear is an active and
successful business man; has seer
sufficient service in political life te
secure the experience needed in 9
Governor of state, and possesses
many elements of popularity. Should
he really enter the field for the re-
publican nomination, he will receive
so strong a support as to render
prophesy of his selection perfectly
safe to whoever essays to be the seer

The Turkish Question.


CoNsTANTINoPLE, January. 2.-Thc
fourth sitting of the plenary confer
ence was held to-day. The Marquis
of Salisbury expressed the views of
the Plenipotentaries upon the Turkish
counter proposals. During the dis
cussion the Turkish delegates emu
merated the points upon which they
did not consider they could negotiate.
These were chiefly the organization
of local gen barnes with foreign par
ticipation, the question of an inter
national commission and the extern
sion of Servian territory. The Plen-
ipotentiaries asked if this declaration
was tantamount to an absolute refu-
sal Of the Turkish delegates. They
replied they must refer to the Porte.
The Marquis of Salisbury visited
Midhat Pasha, the Grand Vizier, after
the Conference. The counter propo-
sails of Turkey differ completely from
the scheme agreed upon by the Plcn-
ipotentiaries. 1t is stated that Gen.
Ignatieff, Russian Plenipotentiary,
has declared he cannot discuss the
Turkish proposals and is supported
by other Plcnipotentiarics. Thurs
days sitting will probably be deci-
sive.

AnaIrs In New orleans.

NEW ORLEANs,Ja about noon
a State Democratic House committee
informed Gov. Kellogg that the
House was organized at st. .'atrick's
hall. They protested against the oc-
cupation of the State House by armed
militia and police, and of the exclu-
sion therefrom of duly elected repre-
sentatives. Kellogg declared that the
statements of the protest were incor-
rect. There were no military in the
State House but the usual police
guard, who had special instructions
not to interfere with legislators but
to protect them. AS to the House
represented by the committee being
legally organized, it was untrue, since
the real House had been organized in
the hall of the House of Representa-
tiyes and the Senate had duly recog-
niZed them.

TALLAHASSEE, Jan. 2.-The supreme
court met yesterday, but didn't con-
slider the paper filed by the board of
canvassers on the 9th ult., as such an
answer to their peremptory writ as
the court could accept. 1t was re-
turned to the secretary of state as
properly belonging to the files of that
Office, and the court ordered the
board to answer by four o'clock to
the plain language of the writ by
canvassing the vote for governor, and
emitting in their return any votes
cast for any other Office, as the rig
of presidential electors and members
of congress were not matters before
the court. The board made return at
5 O'Clock, when counsel for REALTORS
asked and was granted until to-day
to examine returns, and the court adj
iOurned.

Hampton intended his screed as a

the other hand, Hampton merely
wished to assure Hayes and the con.

cares for recognition of his own

The Asttabula Horror.

CLEVELAND, O., Dec. 3l.-A report
er of the Leader telegraphs tonight
that in all thirty-six bodies have been
found in all stages Of Disagreement.
A few which were under water show
very little mutilation. Others are
burned away 30 that all that is left of
a man or woman can be put in q
cigar-box. They were all laid out in
the freight-house of Ashtabula to-
day, and more horrible sight human
eye never looked upon. Some are
without heads, others without hands
or arms, others still all burned away
except the large bones of the trunk.
The bones are either calcincd to
snowy wilderness or covered with
black, charred flesh. In some the
bowels alone resisted the fire. The
faces of such as are best preserved by
water wear look of fearful horror
eyes open and staring, tongues pro-
truding, and hands clenched in hair
or clothing, or held as if to ward off
q blow from above.

The circassian Goes to Pieces
Twenty nina Mar OvowvnoN

sW0tSty -VbUo NS0U ObOvs06us
NEW York, Dec. 30.--A special
from Bridgehampton, Long Island,
says at 4 a. m, the ship Circassian,
which had gone ashore on bar off
Bridgchampton, on the south shore
of Long Island, was entirely bro
ken up by the soulheastcrly gale, and
lost, together with twenty mine lives.
The Circasslan went ashore in the
storm on the night of the 41th inst. At
that time, the crew and officers were
saved. The storm of yesterday caught
thirty-four men, employees Of the
Coast Wrecking Company, on board,
and short time after midnight the
ship went to pieces with an awful
crash. According to the account of
four survivors, who were washed
ashore more dead than alive on frag-
ments Of the wreck, none of the re-
naming twenty-ninc have been seen
or heard from up to the present
time, and doubtless all have persisted.
The Circassian was insured for $780,
600 in London, and her cargo for $780,
600 in this city. She was consigned
to Swan & Co. Only about 400 tons
of the cargo was saved.

The Destruction Of q Eavorite
Breed Of Dogs Called for.

From the New York Herald.
Hydrophobia as q cause of death
appears to have greatly increased in
England as well as in the United
State withinrrec years. In the
five years ending with 1854 there was
an average of four cases a year; in
the five years ending with 1874 the
average wass43 cases q year, and it is
thought that it has been still worse in
1876 and 1876. For disease to sud-
denly increase in SO great degree
as this implies necessarily the opera
ton of some very effective cause not
in operation in the earlier years, and
when Tan increase is observed in
countries so widely separated as En-
land and the United States lall causes
related to climate and to communica-
ton of the virus from one to another
are of course excluded. But if we
find active.in each country recently
introduced agent capable Of original
ing the disease we may conclude with
reasonable certainty that that is the
cause of its increased prevalence. In
either country this reasoning points
to the Spitz dog as the offender. In
England, as well as in the United
States, this animal is of recent intro
duction. But he has another name.
He is called in England the Pomera-
MAN dog. iThis is because he was first
known in Europe as coming from
Pomerania, but he had reached Pom.
erania previously from some of the
neighboring Scandinavian Or Rus.
sian countries toward the Arctic cir
Gle. In this country the date of his
introduction cannot be definitely fix.
ed but If there were any specimens
brought earlier than the return OF
Kane's expedition there is mo record
Of 1t. So far as known his spread
through the country is due to the
specimens brought by that expedi.
ton. In the case Of each country the
great increase Of hydrophobia Is CO.
eval, not perhaps with the introduc.
ton, but certainly with the extensive
distribution of this animal. Hydro.
phobia seems to be bred out eventu.
ally In countries where the animals
are removed from possible contac,
with others in wild state. In France
and Germany it lie constant. for there
the starved wolves come down in
winter and bite the dogs. In En-
land it was comparatively unknown 9
few years since, as shown by the sta.
tistics quoted above, and in the Unit
ed States it was the same. But the
Introduction of an animal only re-
moved by slight differences from his
condition in q wild state, and q great
change Of climate, with its peculiar
effect on his nervous system, have
suddenly revived an old evil, which
will continue to trouble us till we ex.
terminate this species of dog.
