The Pig In Agriculture,

The pig has recently been spoken OF
in contempt when compared with our
other domestic animals. But if we ex-
anime his good qualities at all critically
We must award him a high place in our
agriculture. The American people are
thought 10 consume more pork, bacon
and ham per capita, than any other
people. The products Of the pig are
a heusehould necessity, and enter into
almost universal consumption. If we
suppose IS lbs. per capita to be used
by our people Of pig products, including
lard, then our home consumption
amounts to at least 5000, 1000, 900
pounds, wsrth sl50,OO0,eOO. The PIC
then holds conspicuous place in the
fosd supply Of the nation. But when
we examine it as factor in our exports
we find it to stand at the head Of all
our domestic animals. 4 few years
age We did not put up our hams and
bacon to suit English taste, and our
average export Of these articles amour
ted in money to only $4,000, 900
annually. But after studying the taste
of eur principal customers, and getting
the assistance Of some English houses
in putting up the goods, our exports OF
hsg products rose in 1872 to S2l 900 900
During the fiscal year 1876 these ex-
ports were as follows:

WEST VIRGINIA UNIVERSITY

1t is less than six weeks until the
Fall Term of the University begins.
Its prospects are good, but West Vir-
ginia ought to get at least three times
the amount of good from the Univer-
sity she does. 1t is true that the last
Commencement was eminently sue
cessful, but West Virginians must do
something more than attend Com
mencement. The young men must
consider the unsurpassed induce
ments our University offers for ac-
curing an education and the extra
advantages that are to be enjoyed
here. Hereafter text books are to be
supplied to students at cost, and the
whole expense for an entire school
year need not exceed S175. Where
can equal advantages be enjoyed for
the money? Young men are sent
from the State every year to other
colleges and a careful comparison
will convince all that this is false
step on the part of parents. As is
well known, every Senatorial District
in the State is entitled to send four
young men between the ages of 16
and 81 years, who receive their books
and tuition free of charge. Several
of the Districts in the State are not
represented. Why is it that a livlier
interest is not taken in the Universe
ty? The people of the State pay an
nually large sum for it's mainte-
nance, yet they are slow to reap its
benefits. Let our brethren of the
press all over the State unite in one
grand effort to increase the number
of students here If each paper could
send but one, the result would be i'm
mense and would add at least eighty
to the number of students. We feel
sure that there is not an editor in the
State WHO'S not deeply interested in
the spread of intelligence and the
most effective way to begin is at our
University.

Is THE "ADV0CATE" A PAR
TISAN PAPER!

The Pittsburgh Christian Aduo-
cate is wroth at the Methodist on ac-
count of disposition on the part of
the latter paper to favor united and
fraternal feeling between the North
ern and Southern Methodist Episco-
pal churches. The Adrocdte refers
to the matter in the following chris
tian-like manner:
The editor is The Self-Constituted
Vicar General Of Fraternity, and fear
ing lest the power of the Methodist
might suffer curtailment in the exc
cution of it's mission, he makes this
show of himself openly. We hope the
South will accept the cries for pardon
and send in the subscribers, We
think we can assure it that the Meth
odtst, so long as under the present
control, will not have another attack
of manliness on any subject affecting
Southern feelings.
There is a great deal of wisdom (?)
displayed by such talk in religious
periodicals.

While neither of the two great po-
litical parties contending for national
domination have been unduly careful
to confiue their criticisms of oppu-
nen,s strictly within the bounds of
truth, the storm of abuse and misrep-
resentation with which Speaker Ran
dali has been assailed since his
speeches at Philadelphia and New
York, arraining the Radical leaders
for their Pharisaical assumptions OF
all the virtues of patriotism extant,
is almost nprecedented in the reck-
less disregard of facts displayed by
men standing as models of "Chris-
tian Statomanship." Every allusion
to the efforts of Mr.. Randall and his
party associates to cut down the prod
igal appropriations of former Con-
crosses and thus relieve the tax bur-
dened masses of the country of the
load imposed by Republican malad-
ministration has excited the leaders
to almost hydrophobic madness.
But there is need of no special plead
ing in Mr.. Randall's behalf. His re-
cord is open for the inspection of the
country. 1t was he who, N the For
ty-third Congress, stood like a wall
of granite and rolled back the tide oil
sectional hate that was ever flowing
southwark threatening to finally SUBJ
merge and depopulate that section,
and he needs no defense there for
striking off her shackles and bidding
her go free.

Another Indian War.

When will the trouble with the In
dams in the United States come to
an end? At present there seems to
be no immediate prospect ofthis; and
it is yet doubtful whether the Gov
ernment, or the military authorities
of the nation, are fully alive to the
danger with which they are threat
ened, and to the means best adopted
for suppression of this war-like ten
dcncy. The latest news from the
West is not encouraging. 1t is to the
effect that war party of Indians L.
600 strong has gathered near Canyon
City, and that another of 1000 war
riors has concentrated in central Ida
no. CAPTAIN Sperry. with fifty vol
unteers, had fight near Willow
Springs, Oregon, with the savages,
and himself and nearly all his men
were killed. The Umati1las have had
a fight with the Snakes, and a war
party of Indians which tried to cross
the Columbia River was turned back
by steamboat loaded with troops,
the soldiers landing afterwards and
destroyed the Indian camp. A heavy
baftle.ls likely to occur any moment
with one or both of the two large hos
tile bands. In view of such intelli-
gence it seems plain that two courses
are necessary-firmness in the SUD-
preston Of the revolt, and justice in
all subsequent dealings with the In
dian tribes.

LAST DAY OF THE CONGRESS-
The Treafy of Pence signed.

The Treaty of Peace Signed.
The New York Heraid's cores
pendent at Berlin telegraphs that, as
was anticipated, the treaty of Berlin
was formally signed on Friday by
the members of the congress, precise
| ly one month from the day on which
the delegates first met in solemn con-
clave.
All the Plenipotentiaries and 9th
er members were in full dress, as at
the opening. The proceedings begun
at half past two and ended at four.
The treaty was signed by all the
Plenipotentiaries alphabetically. The
secretaries attended previously at one
o'clock to afix the Plenipotentary
seals to each copy, there being seven
copies, one for each represented.
The proceedings terminated with
grand Court dinner at Whitehall
Palace. The Crown Prince, Freder-
lex William, con graduated the Illus
trious statesmen upon the realization
of his hopes that the blessing of peace
Gro owned their efforts. He declared
that Germany's cooperation could
be counted on for all that tends to Sc
cure and preserve this great benefit.
He proposed the health of the Pleni-
potentiares Of the SOvereigns of the
Governments who this memorable
day signed the Treaty of Berlin.
The only absentees from the banquet
were Lord Beaconsfield and Prince
Gortschakoff. The German semi
official press publish long p@ns of
rejoicing and triumph in the sigma
ture of the treaty of peace
The Congress has been in session
only about a mouth, and yet during
that time it has succeeded in practic-
ally reversing the decision Of the late
war, in which so much Of money and
Of life was sacrificed, and in virtually
carving up Turkey into different
portions for the graz ification of the
interested parties, contrary 10 the as
sevoration 81 solemnly made by all
that no dismembernent of the Turk
ish Empire was to take place.
The Treaty is ponderous affair,
numbering sixty-four clauses. and is
magnificently gotten up and printed
on parchment.
Although Turkey is conceded
some degree of liberty, the more as
tute northerners have managed it SO
rs to get decidedly the best of the
bargain. 1t IS to be hoped that the
treaty will be kept inviolate and that
peace will again reign in all Europe
through all time.

We see it stated that more public
land has been purchased by actual
settlers, the past year, than during
the preceding five years combined.
This is suggestive fact. a few
years ago, there was grand rush to
the cities. Every house, store-room
and tenement was in demand at high
figures. Towns and cities increased
rapidly and immensely in population.
Small farms were absorbed by large
land holders, and farm laborers found
more profitable employment in mills,
factories and shops in manufacturing
centres. The evil effects ofthis pro-
ceeding was soon discovered in over
production and over-trading. 1t was
rush of blood to the head as it were.
The equilibrium of the system was
disturbed. A healthy condition could
be secured again only by re-distri-
button. The cities would have first
to suffer. Surplus population would
have to find employment in the coun-
| try. Town rents would have to come
down, and some houses would have
to become tenantless. This process
has been going on for two or three
years now, and must still go on for a
time. Many who have filed the
place of middle men have already
gone back to producing, but many
more must yet do SO. The recon-
struction is going on quietly and
surely, and the exercise of patience.
economy and wisdom will bring the
country back to prosperity again.
There is no royal road 20 learning nor
is there any short cut from condi-
ton Of invaIidism to robust health

1t begins to look as though the
Democrats of the great State of Ohio
might go to the next national conven-
ton with o little influence on that
body. In the last convention, with
Allen as their candidate, they had nc
standing, but if they should come
along two years hence with Senator
Thurman rs their fayorite son they
will demand seat well down in front,
and probably get it without much diff
ficulty. When the Democrats of Ohio
chose to act with any kind Of common
sense they are not to be lightly dispos-
ed of.

The wages of one hundred thou
sand women in New York City, sup
porting themselves and in many cases
supporting their families, average on
ly $3.50 week. The patience with
which this army of women toll on,
year in and year out, without making
any loud protest against the meagre-
ness of their pay, is remarkable, and
suggests thas it would be much wiser
to urge some legislation which would
insure them such wages as their la
bors are worth than to harp continu-
ally on their rights as voters and Of
fice-holders, in which they seem to be
the least interested.

Senator Thurman thinks the Dem
ocrats will carry Ohio this Fall. The
success of the Democrats in Ohio will
go long way toward giving us the
Presidency in 1880. The observa
tions of Senator Thurman were moi
made without care and they carry
conviction with them. 1t seems thai
the party in that State never entered
the field with so many assurances O
success.

The True Greenbaek Party.

The first greenback speech made in
this State was made at Grafton by
that leading Democrat, Geo. II. Pen
dleton, recently elected Senator from
Ohio by the Democrats. Dan. W.
| Voorhees, Democratic Senator from
Indiana, is the soul of the greenback
movement in the West but he contin-
ues to be a Democrat because he
thinks it is the true greenback party.
Senator Williams recently elected to
the e. S. Senate by that stauneh
Democratic State, cid Kentucky, is
the strongest greenback man in the
South and is already standing men
ace to the money power. He is Dem
ocrat and says that party is the only
true greenbacl< party, and the hope of
the nation against the gold ring, and
the only formidable opponent to the
money power. Hon. b. Wilson of Har-
risen county was the first original
greenbacker, south Of the Ohio river.
The Cincinnati Enquirer, the strong
est Democratic newspaper in the West
is, and always has been, the great
greenback organ Of the United States.
Every Democratic Convention held in
the last two years has adopted green
back platforms and many of them
had greenback planks in their plat
forms from the day it was evident to
Democrats land they first discovered
and exposed that fact that q large
majority Of the greenbacks were to be
transformed by system ofhocus po-
Gus only known to Republican leaders
and gold bugs, into gold-bearing gov
eminent bonds.
Don't forget these facts, but come
out to the Democratic county and 9TH
or conventions, and help us in thecause
Of the people and impartial justice,
against the money power and political
observation-disclosures.

The editor of the Grant County
Gazette visited Washington recently,
and was much pleased to find what
q good reputation the West Virginia
representatives bore in that city. A
Department official said to him, "Sir,
your Statehas Senators and represen-
tatives equal to any State in the I'm
ion so far as attending to the wants
of ones people is concerned. Your
Senators visit us almost every day look
ing after the interest of either this OF
that constituent. Your Congressman,
Martin, is another hard worker, and
never neglects any business he is ask
ed to transact by the people Of his
District. They are. good men, sir,
and should be kept here, every one OF
Them"

The people at large are beginning
to discuss the Greenback question to
considerable extent. For u long
time not much Importance was at
tached to this element, but it is be-
coming so strong that it makes itself
heard and felt everywhere Although
the resumption act has lost its ter
rors by the natural and harmless re-
sumption that is taking place, there
is still much vitality in the Green
back element. Very many men who
now are Greenbackcrs, are dissatis-
fed with the rule Of the Republican
party and desire change, hoping to
better the condition Of the business
of the county. Unnatural imitation
is the sure forerunner of bankruptcy
and ruin and instead of trying to
form a new party that is untried, let
them cast their fortunes with the
Democrats. They are the true Green
hackers. The Greenback Party can
not hope to do much without assist
ance and their natural friends are the
Democrats and through the Demo
Gratis only can they hope to achieve
anything. The Democratic party is
the party Of the people. The Repub-
lican party has become fearfully cor
rupt, in fact has killed itself and is
rapidly sinking into nothingness.
Let the freemen of America be cour-
ageous enough to cut loose from the
moorings that have so nearly caused
their ruin and JOIN the good old Dem
ocratic party that has in the past en-
gineered the ship of State SO success
fully.

Capture and Return of Douglass

The Sheriff Of Jampasas county.
Texas, arrived in Keyser on Tuesday
last, having in custody William Sey-
mour Douglass, convicted Of the MUIR
der Of the mail carrier Hiser in Grant
county, and who escaped in some
mysterious way from the Jail Of said
county on the night Of the Oath OF
April 1878.
His escape caused no little excite
ment among the people of Grant, and
Immediately the Sheriff offered q re-
ward Of $3.50 for his capture, to which
shortly afterwards the Governor OF
the State offered an additional re-
ward of $400.
Although the officers had been
very industrious in their investiga-
tiOns, sending posters, postalS and
kilograms in all directions, and to all
the adjoining post offices, yet not the
slightest clue We're they able to OBJ
tain as TO his whereabouts until a
week or two ago the authorities re-
ceived at Wheeling dispatch from
Texas asking if any reward, and il
so, how much, was offered for Doug
lass? Nothing further was heard
from Texas until on the morning af-
ter the 4th, Mr.. Reynolds, Prescott
ing Attorney of Grant got dispatch
from Mr.. A. Sweet, Sheriff of Lam
pasas county, Texas, saying he had
captured Douglass, and asking if the
authorities would pay his eXpens es
if he would bring him to West Vir-
ginia, in addition to the reward.
The Prosecuting Attorney telegraph
ed him to bring him on, and at the
above date he was returned to keyseI
Douglas is desperate fellow and is
guilty Of cold blooded murder. He
is now in MaysvilIe Jail and it is rot
likely that he will be able to escape
again. He will be kept until the
Supreme Court (Which meets al
Charleston in August,) passes upon
the motion for new trial. If this is
granted, he will be retired at the
next term of the Circuit Court; if re-
fused, the sentence of Imprisonment
for life will be at once executed.
