We have lately travelled through
Hardy, Grant and Pendleton counties,
and have interviewed many of the
voters on their choice for the next Con-
gresham from the Second District.
In Hardy, especially among the legal
fraternity, Judge Hoge is the favor
lite; in Grant Hon. ID. B. Lucas and
Hon. B. F. Martin appear to be about
equally divided; in Pendleton Mr.
Martin appears to be first choice and
Mr.. Lucas second. Such is the feel
ing of the people to-day; no telling
what the morrow may bring forth.
Mr.. Lucas, it appears, takes the
lead in the eastern section Of tn q
District, and Mr.. Martin in the
western. Judge Hoge has little TO
say, and it is generally believed
that he cares nothing about the
position. Hence we feel safe in
saying that the contest in conven-
ton for the nomination will be be
tween Mr.. Martin and Mr.. Lucas. At
another time we propose to fully dis
cuss this MISUNDERSTANDING Ga
zeftc.

THE sudden death of General Jos.
Hooker, one of the ablest and bra
vest commanders in the war for the
Union, was announced on Saturday
morning. He had been in his usual
health until an hour before his death,
which occurred at Garden City, Long
Island. He was at one time in COM
mand of the Army Of the Cumber-
land. The popular name of Eight
ing Joe Hooker is said to have been
distasteful to him, because he thought
it gave an idea that he was "bent en-
making furious dashes." Yet the
appellation, even then, was hardly a
bad one, for he had rapid nervous,
resistless energy, which led and
never lost hope. The title of Flight
ing joe he obtained at the hands Of
an Associated Press operator in New
York, who, to designate the tele-
graphic report of the battle of Nal
vern Hill, headed each page, and
each addition with the words Flight
ing Joe Hooker" The title was
adopted by the newspapers, and
quickly became popular, especially
aftertthe bravery of Chattanooga, the
sbattle above the clouds"

1t will be noted with some surprise
that the Republican organs of Ohio
are picking out the men for Governor
Foster to appoint to office in the place
of the few Democrats now in under
Governor Bishop. This is very sin
gular tits scarcely six months since
the whole Republican press was
sounding the widest alarm, because
the Republican ofiice-holders around
the Senate at Washington were turn
ed away by the Democratic majority,
and the strong point was that ex-
pcrienced men, who understand their
business, ought to be retained. There
is no rule in politics, however, that
is known to work both ways,-Phua

year was 416; the least, 407, and the
daily average 410 97-100.
The cost of maintenance is unpre-
cedently low, and may be accounted
for in part by the unusual cheap
ness of breadstuffs, meats, produce,

sity. The per capita per week was
only $2.0Ss which covers all ex-

The result of the Ohio election
seems to have emboldened John Sher-
man, and he now declares openly
that when member of Congress or
an officer of the National Government
is to be elected, Congress has power
to regulate such elections, and the
Republican party intend, if the pres
ent law is not strong enough, to make
it still stronger This indicates
that the Republicans are looking
forward to another disputed election.
Their original plan was to capture
the present House of Representatives.
In this they were foiled; hence the
raising of the bloedy-shirt banner in
the fight which has just closed in the
Buckeye State and in New York, in
the hope of securing the governments
of those States for next year. Ifthey
succeed in New York as they have
in Ohio the plan for 1880 is to give
the electoral votes of those States to
the Republicans, whether they are
entitled to them or not. How they
will do this in New York is indica-
ted by the plan for sort of eight by
seven electoral commission which
they concocted last winter at Albany,
and which they dared not press
while Governor Robinson was in the
executive chair. With two such un-
scrupulous partisans as Foster and
Cornell to exercise executive power ii
Ohio and New York, the project of q
t'Solid North is feasible, and thu
declaration Of John Sherman, quoted
above, shows that the Republican
seaders are ready to resort to any
means OF perpetuating their power
no matter how reprehensible it ma,
be.

awakened to the transcendent mag
nitude and Importance of the sub
ject Of agriculture; whereupon Con
gress passed an act making munifi-
cent donations of the public lands,
to endow agricultural colleges in
each State of this Union, where the
science Of agriculture should be
taught to the youths Of the land.
This was not only step in the right
direction, but a wise step; but such
was the ascendency of the military
spirit of that day over every other,
but that of greed and place, that the
agricultural feature was swallowed
up by the military spirit of the day;
until now, we see the students at
these very colleges so endowed, cloth
ed in uniforms and learning to use
the musket, bayonet and sword, in
stead of plough-share and pruning
hook, or would it not be well to ask
Congress to compel these Colleges SO
endowed to fill the mission for which
they were created, and so literally
endowed, or return the said endow-
ment so unwisely subverted from it's
purpose,to the great detriment of the
public p? And now that we have ao-
ricultural Colleges, which are not
agricultural, and agricultural fairs
that are not agricultural, would it
not be well to encourage the forma-
ton of agricultural societies, in each
county and township, for the pur-
pose of discussing agricultural sub
jects in the light of science and ex-
perience, for even experience is as a
path to our feet, although that path
may lie in darkness. In this way
we may do much to elevate agricul-
ture from the uncertainty of mere
guess work and experience to the
higher and more glorious plain of
knowledge-of science and chemical
philosophy-when mind shall be
the prime factor.

At the time of the negro exodus
from the South the authorities of To
peka, Kansas, were swift to offer in
ducements to the colored folks to set
tie among them. Now, that some
people have more than they bargained
for; the city is completely overrun
with a class who lay around cities,
and who are to lazy to work, more
especially when their white brethren
propose keeping them. AS long as
this is confined to Topeka, we have
no especial objection, but now comes
up wall from the Topeka authori-
ties for help to feed and clothe these
same colored people. Everybody
North is now asked to contribute to-
wards keeping these lazy people in
idleness. AS the citizens of Kansas
were apparently so anxious to secure
the society of the colored folks, let
them find the wherewith to sustain
them during their sojourn among
them. The colored people are simply
paying Kansas visit. Let the au-
thorities see to it that their stay is
made pleasant,

Death of Senator CHI nd Ter.

Senator Zach. Chandler, of Michi-
gan, was found dead in his bed at
the Grand Pacific Hotel in Chicago
last Saturday morning. He had
been speaking in Wisconsin and on
Friday evening addressed an i'm
mense audience in Chicago.
After the meeting, when he and
Senator Logan and Hon. Jno. Spauld-
ing were sitting in his room, he con
planned of indigestion. Mr.. Spauld-
ing suggested that he remain over in
the city until Saturday night, but he
said business affairs required his a.
tention at home, and the order was
given to have him called in the
morning at seven o'clock. His
friends then babe him good night
and left. That was the last time
the Senator was seen alive. This
morning when the office boy called
him there was no response. Entrance
was then effected through the tran
som, and the Senator was found life
less. The physician who called de
cided that death occurred about thret
hours previous to the dil covery. The
face looked tranquil, showing thai
death was painless.

COngressma Kemna ns an
Eyange7iSt.

Last Monday, as Congressman
Kenna, of this State was riding along
the banks of New river, on his way
to Mercer county, to address the SOW
erign voters of that bailiwick, he dis
covered a couple of colored men ford
ing the stream with a dilapidated
concern consisting ofan ancient mule
and more antique horse attached
to an alleged wagon. Suddenly the
donkey struck deep hole, when the
wagon-box floated off with one of the
passengers, the other having noun ted
the horse, which, after desperate
efforts, succeeded in reaching the
shore, pulling the mule and the wag-
on wheels after him. The box float
ed down stream with the other negro
on his knees praying for dear life,
but making no attempt to save him
self. Seeing that he was likely to be
drowned, Mr.. Kenna plunged in and
pulled the box and frightened occu-
pant ashore. Upon rea ching terra
tirma the darkey dropped on his
knees, and with his hand uplifted,
said: ooh, good Massa Kenna. what
can do for you?' Nothing replied
Kenna, quietly mounting his horse,

key, GIL do it shuah, and get all Gle

the surplus wheat of this country
for this crop will prove to be about
200, 100000 bushels. There has been
over 20 cents a bushel advance in

representing an increase in the value

$40, 100000.

The working and development of the mines will be under the care and control of Hon. ChaS. D. Everett, who has had five years experience in work of this char acter in Montana Territory. MT. Ev- erott has the reputation in mining cir cles of being an adept in the business and in the separating of the precious metals from the native ores With Mir Everett at the head, the success of the Cleveland syndicate is assured.

PimG County Ydiuat,on.

The Sheriff k now at work figuring on how much we, who are within the boundaries of his bailiwick, are worth. including all our chattelS, real and personal, taxable under the laws of this Territory. The same man who did this service for us last year, does it this year. Last year he figured Us up Sl,110,00O, in round numbers; but now he finds that the time has been SO well improved that he is of the Opin- ion that he shall have to put down full S2,000 900 for assessment. It hard ly needs comment to enforce the argu- men; to be drawn from these figures. An extraordinary prosperity is shown and when it is considered that we have hundreds of people among us, who will, in all probability, be per manent residents, but who have not yet fully located themselves, and are lONs AS Nt, Att-htAA AOA ttAN NiiIZ, Alit prospect for a tax-roll running up to three and perhaps four millions next year are brilliant; and there is also another item in the ShcriiTs posses sion, which confirms his belief very strongly. At this time last year the county's receipts for business licenses ran along at about $500 per month i; but now there k collected Sl200 per month on the same account.
 Whatever of conjecture or uncer- tainty there may be in the valuation of property for taxation, there is none in the matter of license fees; and the latter tells larger story than the former.
 We may add, too, that there are now less than 5000 of delinquent taxes on the book of the county.
 Match this who can.
