Judge Grasou, accompanied by his wife
and two daughters, and William, his eld-
est son, left Baltimore on the 10Th ult for
Boston, by sea. For several months the
health of Judge Grason has not been good,
and he seeks short respite from labor in
hopes that the sea air and rest will restore
him to health. Latterly the Judge has
been suffering with harassing cough and
intermittent fever.-INd. Journal.

kind deyotedness of their friends, said it
reminded her of stories she had read of

The importance to both parties of the
control of the House Of Representatives is
fully recognized by the preparations which
are being made for the approaching cleo
ton. A change of eight members would
reverse the Democratic majority and place
the Republicans in power.
Both parties are carefully studying the
composition of the present House and
mapping out their plans for the campaign.
The Democrats have their eyes fastened
on the thirteen Republican Districts in
which the majorities at the last election
fell below 500. The Republicans, on the
contrary, are regarding with friendly in
terest the twelve Democratic Districts in
which the majorities are so small as TO
render future elections exceedingly prob
lematical. The lists of the close districts
are as follows:

An examination Ut 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 2l9 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 3lst New York, was the re.
suit of a 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 a 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 Tilden
factions. At the meeting of the House
Judiciary Committee, held this morning
no allusion was made to the subject of an
Investigation. AUGUST.

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 viii be little
danger of his 'quickened conscience" ad.

Correspondence Of the Democratic AdUocdte
SANDWICH, ILL, May 9Th, 1873.
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
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.. NJ. Ii. Jones is ploughing down
piece Of rye, that is heading, for corn.
This is getting to be general thing. After
they are through harvesting their oats,
they plOw the same piece of ground and
SOW it with rye, and if pasture is short in
the spring they turn their stock or 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 Western farm; you pass by
80 and IS 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, aud 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 Jw.s.

The Addison, the franklin, the Irving,
the Claiming, 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 a 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

dered as familiar to the rising generation
as household words.

A CAMPAIGN WITH MONEY IN r.
The Republicans hope to win a 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.
