THE CRAWFORD COUNTY SYSTEM IN KENT
On Saturday last the Democracy of Kent county
in this State nominated their county ticket under
what is known rs "the Crawford County Sys-
tenn" A total vote of 2, 107 was pollcd, showing
that the interest taken by the party was unusual
ly deep and general A ticket was nominated
which is altogether uncXceptonabc in character
From Senator to Surveyor the names on the
ticket are those of men of character and good
sence of any "cliquc" work In its composition.
1t is ticket of the people and its election is
tain bya handsome majority. With such a ticket
in the field there is no ground for any Democrat
to complain. The dissatisfied persons who or
ganized an Independent movement down there
without waiting for the expression of the Dem
ocratic primaries were certainly premature The
Democracy of Kent county rank high in the
State and we are pleased to learn that the ticket
nominated last week will command solid and
hearty support because it deserves the confidence
of every Democratic voter.-Gdzette.

Wheat Culture.
A MODE OF CALCULATING THE NUMBER OF BUSH
ELS PER ACRE BEFORE REAPING.


As great Importance is attached to the grow
ing wheat crop, farmers may sometimes want
to ascertain, previous to reaping, the number of
bushels which their fields viii be likely to YIELD
in order that they may regulate their expendi
lures or purchases q few months in advance or
perhaps be enabled, after the custom of merch-
ants, 10 render to themselves an account of gains
and losses in business. 1t may, then, serve
very good purpose to know how to make such
estimates, which, if not in all respects mathe-
maticolly exact will yet afford safer guide than
many of the inducements which, with their flat
tering prospects, incline farmers often to enter
into hopeful speculatons. A little more of
mathematics applied to wheat culture and other
branches of farming may not after all prove I'M
remuncrative, or SO terribly out of place.
The benefit of the proposed speculation, or
inspection rather will be that knowledge of a
very valuable kind can be attained by him who
tries it. Though this knowledge NAV not be
perceived at once, it will to greater or less ex-
tent appear afterwards from the examination, LIST,
of the heads of the wheat; I'd, of the stalks /;
Sd, of the roots; and think might with truth
add, that thorough investigation will finally
lead to the root OF the whole matter of raising
wheat and OF increasing the produce of our fields.
The following process is recommended: Let
the farmer provide himself with light frame, 2
feet square on the inside. A few days before the
field is ready to be reaped let him select in itba
portion of the standing wheat, neither eXtraor-
dinarlly thick nor thin, but such rs might be
termed fair average; let him place this square
Frame consisting of square feet, horizontally
over the heads of the wheat on the selected spot
Then clip oil the heads within the frame, and
place them in his bag or basket
Now, my brother farmer flor once | was n
farmer myself, and though no longer SUCH my
interest in farming and farmers never flags, J
make tins inspection and do this clipping in Q
carefully selected spots in various parts of your
field. You will then have in your basket the

The colored "exodusters" from the Mis-
sissippi valley do not seem to be heartily wei
coined in Kansas, even by the stalwart Re-
pubicans, The deluded colored people went
there with the idea that it was land flowing
with milk and honey, and if by any mis-
chance the supply thereof failed, the govern
mcnt would take them up and care for them.
With such ideas in their heads they are not
anxious to work, even if there were enough
employment for them. They are, therefore,
not regarded with especial favor by the indus
trous people of Kansas. A prejudice against
them is cropping out, many of the white far
mers being opposed to seeing their sons go in
to the fields in competition with negro labor,
and declaring that they want Kansas to be a
'white mans State" Many of the poor nc
groes would liketo be carried back to their ma
tive shore, and the return ofany considerable
number of them will doubtless put stop to
the exodus.

MILITARY INTERFERENCE AT ELECTIONS.
Hon. j. Proctor Knott, chairman, on
Wednesday submitted to the judiciary COM
mittee of the House his report on the message
of the President vetoing the bill to prevent
military interference with elections. The
document is mastery one clear and logical
in its arguments, and temperate in tone. 1t
demolishcs every position taken by Mr..
Hayes, and shows in strong colors his incon-
sistency and ignorance of constitutional law
1t serves to heighten the contrast between the
two political parties, and will meet with the
approval of all citizens who favor free cleo
tions and the supremacy of the civil over the
military power.

A BLIND SHARPER-A young man named ID.
w. Barrick, who has the misfortune to be blind,
has yictimized several persons in Bel Air. He
was stopping at CIayman's Hotel, his business
here being TO sell ballads setting forth his dcs-
ttute condition. On Monday he hired horse
and buggy from George w. Anderson's livery
stable, for the purpose of visiting q friend near
Thomas's Rum He induced son of Mr.. w. S.
Forwood, of the Changers Hotel, to accompany
him. Instead of going to Thomas's Run, ON one
pretext after another, he persuaded the boy TO
take him to Fallston and finally to Tow
sontown, where he took the cars for Bal
timore. He made no arrangements for the
payment of his hotel bill or the hire of the
horse and buggy. II is a misfortuneto be blind,
but blind sharpers and swindlers should excite
no more sympathy than those who can see.

Letter from Washington.
WASHINGTON, d. c., June 10, 1875

"ASilNGToN, IL. ", June III, 1871
The desire to adjourn, or some other motive
yesterday induced the Republicans to unite with
the Democrats and pass the Legislative BILL
There is in it no provision for judicial expenses
A bill for these has been introduced but no
money is appropriated for deputy marshals or
supervisors. The Army appropriation bill, it is
believed, will go through without material
change TO day. All these bills can he put before
Mr.. Hayes this week, if the Senate acts as
promptly rs the House appears willing to do
1t is thought he will approve them all, but there
is doubt Of the Army BILL as it contains instruc-
lions as to what the money appropriated shall
and shall not he used for. Secretary McCary,
who is understood TO have prepared the veto of
the other Army bill, in which the doctrine of
Federal supremacy in matters purely of State
concern is Extensively stated, is now asking for
confirmation as U. s. Judge, from Senate
having majority of men who believe in the
Constitutional right of States to regulate their
own affairs. His nomination probably will not
be acted on until Mr. Hayes approves or vctucs
the Army bill.
Whatever the action of Mr.. Hayes may be,
Congress will adjourn, almost certainly, by the
10th, and may earlier, fany Department is left
without the necessary money, the people gcncr-
ally will understand whose fault it is. The bal
lot box, pierced by n bayonct which appeared
in the Ewing procession here the other evening,
tells plainly and cloqucntly what is in the minds
of the people.
