NAMES OF LITERARY SOCIETIES.
The Addison, the Franklin, the Irving,
the Charming, the Bryant, the Webster,
the Hannah Moore, the Browning, the
Sigourney, &C., are among the names
of literary societies now most frequently
met with. They have taken the places of
those derived from the Greek alphabet,
formerly SO common-the Delta Phi, the
Phi Beta Kappa, &C., and VIC think are
more appropriate, and have greater sig
nifcance, perpetuating the names of dis
tinguished literateures, scientists and states
men, at home and abroad. A few more
might with propriety be added to the list,
such as Maury, Morse, Edison, and others,
distinguished as statesmen, literateures, or
scientists, whose names might thus be rem
dered as familiar to the rising generation
as household words.

An examination of the two lists will
show, that, so far as the figures indicate,
the probability of a favorable change is
decidedly with the Republicans. OF the
weak Republican districts, but two fall be-
low 219 majority, while of the close Dem
ocratic districts there are nine in which
the majorities fall below that figure, and
eight of these have less than 81 majority.
Three of the districts given in the Demo
cratic list are held as the result of contests,
and one, the 31st New York, was the re-
suit of split in the Republican ranks.
Never before in the history of Congress
ional elections has the demand been so
great for unsparing exertions by both par
ties, and the probability is that the con-
test will be unprecedented in vigor and
earnestness.
1t is the impression at the Capitol to-
day that the resolution of the investiga-
ton of the Florida election will not be
offered before Thursday. Those who are
in communication with Mr.. Tilden have
not yet received instructions that it is
time to make an advance, Morrison, of
Illinois, who has great deal of common
sense, says that the only good he can see
which will come out of the investigation
will be to unite the republicans and divide
the democrats into Tilden and anti-Tflden
factions. At the meeting of the House
Judiciary Committee, held this morning
no allusion was made to the subject of an
Investigation. AUGUST.

and counties, and their incumbents; most
of the leading farmers; interesting Stats
tics; geographical description of the coun-
ties and their leading industries; the news
papers of the State, and great variety of
other information. 1t is very valuable as

A CAMPAIGN WITH MONEY IN IT.
The Republicans hope to win majority
in the next House of Representatives by
collecting large campaign fund and ex-
pending it freely among the negroes in all
the southern districts, which are in any
way close. They have no compunctions
whatever about demoralizing the colored
race and making them thoroughly corrupt.
The party of "great moral ideas" is thus
bent on buying votes enough to give them
the next House of Representatives, and the
fraudulent President announces his deter
mination to contribute to the corruption
fund himself, thus setting the example to
all his $4,000 employees. What spec
tacle for the moralist to contemplate
Just think of an army of $4,000 office
holders all contributing money to corrupt
the electors and retain themselves in office.

The fraudulent President has given his
best plum, the Liverpool Consulate, salary
$4,000, to the pretended Governor of Lou
isiana, Packard. A salve of this sort
ought to heal all his gaping wounds, and
doubtless will, so that there will be little
danger of his "quickened conscience" ad-
ding anything to such confessions as those
of McLin and Dennis. IF the Senate
confirms him it will put him out of reach
of Congressional Investigation. This is
another good stroke of policy by our Presi.
Dental fraud, if it succeeds.

Letter from Illinois.
Correspondence of the Democratic AdDOcate

SANDWICH, ILL, May 9th, 1878.
Messrs. Editors;-The weather for the
last two weeks has been very wet and cold,
giving the farmers little chance to prepare
their ground for corn, and there has been
but little corn planted. The growing grain
is doing well, and the grass is very for
ward On the fourth passed through a
clover field and found clover head, this
is an unusual thing in this country so early
in the season. There is also good pros
pect for fruit, with the exception of peach
es, as the Prairie is too much-open, and the
cold winter blasts kill the trees.
Mr.. M. Fl. Jones is ploughing down a
piece of rye, that is heading, for corn.
This is getting to be general thing. After
they are through harvesting their oats,
they pillow the same piece of ground and
SOW it with rye, and if pasture is short in
the spring they turn their stock on it, if
not, they leave it to run up until it heads
and then plough it down for corn. The
ground still being of good rich quality,
will show the effects of any thing like
manure.
Now is the time to see how much stock
is RAISED on a Western farm; you pass by
so and rs acre fields, and see them liter
ally covered with stock of all kinds, you
would think the country was in good
thriving condition, but when you look
over the market list, and see the low prices
from the over-stock, you find it leaves the
farmer but little profit.
Tramps are getting scarcer. There is
still some emigration for the Western
States. J.w. s.
