Wire Binders,

Ever since the first introduction OF
the wire binding harvesters there have
been numerous complaints about Cat
tie and other animals being Injured by
swallowing bits of the wire that get
into the straw. This complaint is now
supplemented by that of the millers.
The Minnesota miIlers at their late
convention declared war on thes,
wire binders, by adopting a resolution
to make discrimination of ten cents
per bushel against wheat which had
been bound in this way. They mist
that their stones and boiling cloth,
are seriously injured by pieces of wire
which careless workmen permit to
pass through the thresherS. The mill
ers Of Illinois also strongly object to
these binders; but make no discrimi
nation against the wheat on which
they have been used. In an exchange
we notice a communication from lyle
hart Bros, Evansville, Ind, which
says:
I've have been looking through
our bolting cloth, and making some
calculations as to the damage done 10y
wire in wheat, since we began on new
crop last July. Our estimate will run
up TO about $500. Although we have
some five cleaners through which the
wheat passes, yet you would scarcely
believe the amount of wire that goe,
TO the stone and from the stones to Il c
LOlt. The larger pieces pass of into
the bf&n land it seems to us that II
will he little hard for stock to digest }
The smaller pieces pass out as mid
dliugs into the purifiers, cutting the
cloth as they go, until they are return
ed TO the stone again for regrinding;
then, after grinding, it goes to the
lniddlings chest to perform It's work
of perforatiOn again, until the larger
portion, after having done its work
on the cloth; works off in the shipstufi
as teed. Our receipts Of wheat this
year from the portions Of country
where wire binders are being used has
been comparatively small, and yet the
damage is too great burden to be
borne, with the close competition we
have and small margins We are RUM
ing Oh. knowing the prominent place
they occupy among the leading farm
ers, we have been thus minute in de
-ci'ihing the results of the wire in oul
milling, thinking by some slight I'M
provement either in the machine to'
eating and binding or in taking the
wire out at time of threshing, these
results may be avoided"
Evidently something must be done
The self binder seems to be necessity
of the day, and it is to be hoped that
very soon some less Objectionable form
Of binding the sheaf will be devised.
Irvine has been tried but does not
work so well as wire-in fact can moi
be relied on at all. Here is a chance
for SEINE lucky fellow to make pile
by reconciling these two parties, the
miliers and the farmers, with prsc-
teal self binder that does not use wire
Where is he Farm and Eiresioe.

ocratic paper, has got its eyes open
ana it now declares irrevsrently that
under the leadership Of Tildsn,
Thurman, Randall, Ewing and others,
the Democratic party is going to pieces
as fast as the movement OF events per-
nit. 1t looks over the field strewn
with golden opportunities and finds
that the mischief that cannot be de-
vised by incapable Democratic leadert
is supplemented by the awkwardess
kind Of stupidity. The Democracy 1t
says has drifted into power through
the magnificent blundering Of its oppo-
nents, and,it is drifting on: again by the
still more stupendous follies OF its own
Its insane leaders have chosen to run a
muck against the business interests o.
the country, and to assail and solidify
the Republicans in defence of policy
that should have no opponents outside
of mad houses. We fully agree with
the "Record" in sentiment, and We are
glad it is beginning to see its folly in
supporting party, the leaders of which
it says ought to be in mad-hous es'
Supporting such a party only shows
the folly of our able Philadelphia con

The SOUTHERN DEMOCRATS in Con-
gress are becoming alarmed at their
waning power, and although they
know they are sure in any event OF a
solid South, they know that it will
avail them nothing unless they have
larger following from the north. They
are no ways backward in throwing the
blame Of being placed in the present
predicament IN their nothern allies, AMI
they somewhat bitterly charge them
with a failure OF the effort to get tn a
Federal election laws repealed. The
south would have been perfectly salts
fed with the repeal of the jurors test
oath, so that they could pack the Uni
ted States juries with exrebels, and
thereby defeat a conviction for viola
! ton of the United States laws; but it
was the northern wing Of the party
they say, that demanded the repeal OF
the whole Federal election machinery
passed in war times for the protection
of voters at the polls. The rebels full
well know that the South will be
Democratic anyhow, troops or no
troops, and if only the larger part of
the electoral vote lay at the South
nothing more would be heard about
troops at the polls.

Ix CONVERSATION yesterday with some
careful, calculating and experience d
peach growers at New Castle we regret
that we were forced to conclude that
the crop in New Castle County will be
a small one, and that in the neighhor-
hood of Mt. Pleasant and M ddletown
1t will be almost total failure. While
We regret this with New Castle, we are
pleased to be informed that the further
down the pninsula We 60 from Middle
town more favorable prospects prevail.
About Smyrna there will from present
appearances be profitable crop, though
q small one. The same may be said OF
Dover and other points in Kent County
AMI Bridgevile and in fact all ovel
Sussex, it is said the crop will be fai
average. Still farther down it is sale
to be very little injured, and all through
the peach growing regions of the East
ern Shore counties the crop promises t.
he fair.

road Colnpany's gross earnings for u"
month Of "April," reached the cuor
nous amount OF two millions Of dollars
of which amount three quarters OF a

fit. This rate of earnings if kept up
would leave, the company worth a hand
some surplus at the end of the year.
II the company succeeds, as is most
likely in getting twenty i've cents ton
more added to the price of coal as it
fully expects a hundred thousand cot

nett earnings. This railroad b-ing

the Thermometer Of increased business

To-day the Republican state Conven-
ton of Ohio will meet at Clnclnnati,
to nominate candidate for Governor.
The greatest harmony prevails in the
party, and with good popular candi-
dates nominated Ohio will give one Of
her old fashioned Republican niajori-
ties. Notwithstanding the decliuation
Of john Sherman to bea candidate there
is mental reservation in his declina-
ton which will not prevent him from
becoming the candidate of his party,
should it be thought absolutely neces-
sary TO save the State to bring him ont.
After all, it may be possible that Sher'
man and Thurman may be the candi.
dates of their respective parties, and
that the one who carri"s the State will
have strong claim on his party for
the nomination for the Presidency.

work has been accomplished ld,ro,S k
our much beloved Evangelist, bro.

has been greatly revived, and many
no doubt, have been smittcn of the
Lord. His series of sermons, loyi-

i'll the State. His style, suggestive
of careful training in GESTURE, elocu-
ton and pathos, impresscs the
mind ut once, of the high calling of
the great and all wise God. The
language, tempered by the spirit, fell
upon the ear with thrilling import.
Every eye in the vast audince was
fixed upon him as he sheltered him

Prof. Blbikov's "Bcom."

A question has arisen bctMcc
Prof Gibikov, formerly Of Orange
burg, and Prof. Holmes Of Charles
ton, which despite the relative cla ms
Of tic scientists, and the bibul,us
courtcsics cxtcndcd, is certainly Of
practical! concern to the people orthc
State.
Prof. Bbikov on a recent scicnli-
fic trip to Tie western part Of the
State brought some specimens of
Ignite or brown coal from Mr.. Ham
mond's Place, and exhibited them in
Columbia, upon which The Register"
published an account of his invcstiga-
tons. y sho,t time after Prof
llolmos published Il letter in the
"NoMs and Courier ating in sub
stance that the existence Of lignitcs
in South Carolina vas no new thing,
but there was no coal in the Sta c, it
being scientific impossibiity, and
the editor of the papsr in which this
letter was published STAGED that these
lignitcs would not burn, and if put
into the fire would give out no m ore
light than mud camille.
Upon this ror. Eibkov took his
ligrites 70 the store Of Mr.. a. Palmer
in Columbia and made an expert.
mcnt i'll the presence OF several
gentlemen. "llc put portion Of
Ignite in rctort, which he after
wards placed in furnace and
heated ret hot. The gas then in
lew moments came out OF the c nd Of
a pipe attached to the rctort, and, on
match being applied to it, burned
with bright clear steady flame. 1t
also proved that the Ignite would
burn, for when the rctort was openc Il
it was found HAT most Of it was con
sumcd, and the mairdcr was still
on fire" SO says the editor of th c
"Registcr' who We presume witness
ed the experiment, for he swcars that
"the brown coal or lignltc or lam-
mated corrosion Of things indefinite
does make blue streak of
tightening"
Upon this the ''Ncws anil Courier"
re-asscrts that there is no coal in
South Carolina, but there are ligntc5,
and that thisis no new thing; but that
thsse lignitcs will ignite an burn
and throw out gas, is something new.
Whether they can be utilized is
the next question. Upon THIS de-
pcnds tho practical Importance or
unimporiaucc OF Prof. Bbikov's
discovery.
Prot. ] "ushlin Of Columbia comes
out in Il letter after all the smoke
had passed away, and points TO the
fact that Prof. Tuomcy, the State
gcologist under the administration of
Gov. Aiken, asserted that the marls
Of the State were not liz for agricul-
tural purposes, and yet how sadly he
was mistaken rs the discoveries since
the war prove. May not Tie same be
tie case with The lignitcs.
But it is not n l""GhMy matter. 1t
is Prof. Eibikovs BOOM ifhc can
demonstrate that there are millions
in it, and we move that he b. given
time 10 slow that it is not all gas. In
the mean time let Prof Holmes put on
bis magnityins glasses again, and
give US the advantage OF his long
experience, his extended researches
and his ripe intellect.
Let all the scientists, in fact, 90
