DiasOlHing Views.

We take no stock in the sensational ru-
mors that have been sent broadcast over the
country, during the recess Of Congress, in
effect that move would be made on its re-
assembling to investigate the subject of a
bargain or arrangement by which President
HAYES received his election. We regard
the proposition Us absurd of ITSELF for the
reason that an investigation would amount
to nothing in the way of effecting
the validity of the election,
and hence would bear no fruits to reward
the efforts. The plan adopted to effect the
election was new and novel, and Of doubt
full propriety; but it was nevertheless
adopted and fully served its intended pur-
pose. If Democrats wero deluded into the
arrangement by any promises made by Mr..
HAYES or his friends, and that fact can be
clearly established, the proof is in fave; of
his having kept his faith In the premises,
and we do not see that any advantage can
be taken of it, or that it can be made SER
viccablo in oyerturning the election and
deposiug the President from power.
However, this matter has served the
purpose of afTording the qui6 nuncs large
field for gossip and speculation, all of which
will vanish into thin air when something of
more importance is interposed to engage
their attention. We presume nothing will
he heard of it after the return of Congress
ITO duty.

fiji of that They Nsaw that.if NIrsHAHEs
kept the promises of his lctser of acceptance
in his treatment of the sosth ho could do
more for them than TILDEN couldF
The argument of this is intended to prove
that there was no bargain between the
leaders of the South and Mr.. HAYEs. and
his friends relating to his seating as PSI
dent. We hope, for the honor of the nation,
that this argument is well taken; but let
MS ask, if that be So and the Democrats
were so anxious for the election of President
HAYES, what change has come over the
spirit of their dream that leads them now
everywhere, North and South, to declare
him fraud and usurperP Will the cor
respondent of the Gazette solve this conun-
drumr They ought to stand by the result
with better grace il they think there was
no corrupt bargain and all was fhir and

Gratis went to Washington last winter more
interested in securing local self-government
in their own States than in securing the in
auguration of TILDES. They were dis
gusted with the, way that TTLDEN was
forced upon them at st. Louis, and still
more disgusted by his letter on tho pay

the forcible Inauguration Of TILDEN meant

THE New York Tribune says that Special
Agent MADaE's report on the transporta-
ton Of bonded merchandise to inland ports
Of entry is not what it WAS represented to
DO. Mr.. MADGE denies that he charges
gross incompetcncy or dishonesty upon the
Government officers, or alleges losses of mil
lions of revenue through this channel. He
has no indictments to make, and only sug-
gests some reform in methods. This brings
one more custom-house sensation to an un-
timely end.r

DID it ever occur to the Post that every
enterprise stands on its own pedestal of
merit, and that energy and hate with their
shrill trumpets constantly blowing their
own fame never can accomplish the pulling
down OF the fortunes off neighbor? The
Post may be rich in subscribers, and if so
we heartily congratulate it on its wonderful
success but one thing is very certain, it
does not exhibit wealth of modesty in its
bearing. However, we are inclined to let it
work out the problem Of its existence in its

Acreage Required for q Cow.

How much land is required for the
support of a cow? This question
depends for an answer 90 much on
the circumstances of the soil % not to
admit of q very definite answer. Mr..
Schulz, of Little Falls, N. Y, esti-
mates that the land in pasturage and
hay requisite for the support of .
COW is three acres; and this is the
estimate of Mr.. Darlington for mod
erately good dairy farms in England.
In Belgium ten acres of land support
two cows, one heifer, and one year
ling or calf; but when the calves are
sold off young, and cows in full milk
are only kept, the proportion is two
cows to seven aud one-half acres.
Colman estimates three acres of pas
ture a. requisite for . COW in Berk-
shire county, Mass, while in some
towns two acres of pasturage are
sufficient. Mr.. Harrington, in the
Report of the American Dairymen's
Association, thinks that ON the aver
age four acres are required per COW,
for summer and winter keep; while
Mr.. X. A. Willard thinks that in Her
kimer county, N. T., one and one-half
to two acres of pasture per COW will
answer, and in some exceptional cases
one acre.-Scientifc Farmer.

tricity Yesterday.-Five Others
Knocked Down.
One thing is sure to come to each
and all, and that is death. 1t comes
without regard to person or position,
and while many are taken away by
disease slowly yet surely, others are
snatched in the twinkling Of an eye.
Such case happened yesterday and
''as quick as q flash" strong, able
bodied man was hurried into eternity.
During the rain yesterday afternoon,
nine wOrkmen we're at work on q
culvert on the G.. M. Il st. P. R'y, near
Greene's orchard, about two miles
and half from the city. Among the
bridge builders were two brothers,
Geo. l. and j. r. Piper. The men
had just put aside q steel saw, with
which . piece of timber twenty-four
feet in length had been sawed, and
they were standing between the rails,
all of them within distance of "a
feet. A flash of lightning came and
knocked the two brothers and three
others down upon the track. All got
up again except Geo. I. Piper, who
was instantly killed by the flash. He
was at once brought to the city and
placed in the depot, where he was
laid out, shaved and dressed. This
morning his brother started with the
corpse to their home at Adeline, ILL
nois, from where they came about
four weeks ago. He was 80 years of
age, fine looking, able-bodied man.

The importance of manuring
ground especially for the wheat crop
is becoming more and more evident.
1t has been found in Pennsylvanis
where rust prevails, that wheat on
msnured land is much less affected
than that on the unmanured. A cor
respondent of the Practical Farmer
writes: "A large per cent. of the
wheat is hopelesslY ruined by rust
and fly. But wherever You find .
field that has been MANFRED, there
you find good wheat. To make .
good crop Of wheat requires less ma
nure than for any other crop, il it is
properly applied, and my experience
teaches that this should always be -
q top-dressing." Manures rich in MI
trogen and phosphoric acid are best
for wheat.-Erchange.

When the people settle down to
common righteousness and common
honesty in money-when there 10 NO
more reputation or imitation talk,
and Communism 10 numbered among
the nightmares Of the past, We shall
have cheap money and high labor,
and plenty of both. But 20 long as
labor and capital, instead Of going on
hand in hand to the upbuilding and
development Of the country, are an
grily facing each other as sntagon-
lists, the present condition of things
will exist. The cure for hard times
is in confidence, honesty and cooper
alton of all the elements necessary to
development. Any other path leads
to destruction, certain and sure.
