A Summing Up.

There are 1873 Democratic electoral
votes in the South. There are fifteen
Democratic electoral votes in Indiana;
there are now eleven Democratic cleo
toral votes in Michigan. Only TWEEN
ty-one more are needed TO elect a
Democratic President, and Ohio has
twenty-five electoral votes. We are
saying nothing of Illinois, Wisconsin
and other Northwestern States, and
we are saying nothing Of Pennsyl
vania, with 10000 Greenback votes,
and we are saying nothing against
carrying New York, New Jersey, Con
necticut and the Pacific States, We
may carry them all. But we call no.
tice to the fact that we only need Ohio,
without considering the border of
either ocean, to elect President, and
we only need the Michigan plan, with
little cordially added, to carry Ohio
against the strongest Republican that
can be named.-Cincinnati Enquir-

Prospects for the Wheat Crop.

In speaking of the wheat crop, the
Register says 1t appears that the
crop is suffering greatly from the
drouth, and Unless there is rain very
shortly the outlook will be unfayor-
able.
From the winter-wheat States came
also reports Of drouth, but less ap-
prehension seems TO be felt, and the
prospects generally are regarded as
favorable. From Ohio an increased
acreage and generally good prospects
are reported, though rain is needed
in many localities. The prospect in
Indiana is generally encouraging and
the acreage somewhat increased over
last year. Throughout Illinois the
prospect is generally most favorable,
and the acreage, is considerably in
creased over that Of last year. In
Michigan some apprehcnsions are ex-
pressed as to the continued dry
weather, and some of the reports are
nnfavorable: but generally an in
creased acreage is reported, and a
fair average crop is expected in the
greater part of the State. In Mis-
souri, and Kansas rains are needed,
and there Is much uneasiness as to
the drought; the prospects, however,
seem generally fair, and the acreage
is considerably increased. Late
showers in some parts of these States
have much improved the prospects,
but more rainfall is required. And
from all the reports received it is
manifest that the crop prospect de-
ponds more upon the weather during
the next few days than upon anything
else now apparent.

Without unity 70 nation. organic:

Without unity 20 nation, organiza-
ton, or even firm can prosper. This
is universal truism, and when disre
garded, its violators must pay the pen
atty. At this time the Democratic
party of Mcnongalia is in fair way
to gain complete control of tie county.
But just as victory is within their grasp,
without united effort, their rrospec-
tive success will be turned into over
whelming defeat. The majority Of the
Democrats does not seem to realize this
fact. Let every Democrat carefully
consider this and outline his duty to
himself, his country and his party, and
there is no question as to the result of
political matters in this county. On
the other hand, let them be careless
and passive, let them be moved by lit
tie personal differences among them>
selves, and their hopes fall fiat. For
the last seven years West Virginia has
been controlled by the Democrats. As
evidence of the wisdom of their admin
.istration, we might point to the pro-
gress made by West Virginia in that
time. The hard times that have pres
vailed since 10 have ofcourse restrain,
ed improvement to great degree, but
still advance has been made. In educa-
tional matters there is no computing the
strides made by our people. With
continuation of this state of affair in
which the wisdom of our leaders is so
apparent, there is no doubt that the
people will still require their services
In this county some parties of small
calibre are trying to SOW dissension
and discord in the party but their mo-
tives are understood and their efforts
will avail but little. No true Demo
crat will allow personal differences and
interests to make him disloyal to his
party. The advanced ground that the
Iarty holds in this county at present
is largely owing to the assistance of its
organ, These services are sometimes
forgotten. when there is no political
excitement. We rather think the Dem
ocrats are aware of this fact and only
need to be reminded of their duty. At
this time they only need to act in con
cert with the New DOMINION to re-
'deem Monongalia from the clutches
of Radical politicians. Our friends
throughout the county could, with
little effort, soon double our circulation
and thereby increase our usefulness.
Let each one of our present subscribers,
if in arrears square up his account and
bring us new subscriber and he will
soon see the result of his labor in
more united party.

elevated to the Craftsmanship of the

The amount of money due from all

1878 only amounts TO about two hun

A bill, introduced into Congress by
McLane, of Maryland, will put an
end to one of the most corrupt prac-
tees of the Republicans. 1t provides

or other valuable thing to any fund
for political or party purposes, nor
shall any such officer permit any So
icitation, demand, or assessment for
such purpose to be made upon the
subordinates in his department, bu-
reau, or office, and any person will
fully offending against this provision
shall be removed from Office, and up
on conviction shall be punished by
imprisonment not more than one year,
and by fine of not less than one
hundred nor more than five thou
sand dollars"

The West Virginia Legislature
doesn't have monopoly of all the
statesmen. One came to the surface
in the Illinois Legislature the other
day, and made the bold declaration
that newspaper which publishes a
lie without knowing it to be true is a
coward, and ought to be put in Jail
and stay there till he rots." That
man is appropriately placed as mem
Der of the body which elected John
A Logan to the United States Sen

THE SOUTH.

New ORLEANS, Jan. l5.-At the meet
ing of the Teller committee, to-day, Gle
ment L. Walker, an attorney of New Or
leans, testified concerning the election in
that city, that he believes the returns pro-
mulgated were not indicative of the true
results, the votes polled for Conservatives
being counted FOR Democrats. He charged
generally that there were Irregularities and
frauds in the conduct of elections, and
said: have the sworn statements of
parties who witnessed the frauds. The
citizens party was denied representation
at the polls on the ground that it was not
party. but faction; to Judge from the
class OF men appointed commissioners by
the Democratic party fair return of the
votes was not expected; the counting of
the votes at the polls was in most in =
| stances made in secret or by one deter
mined to elect the Democratic ticket. and
| am satisfied that the statement of the
votes many polls made up for any de-
! ficit 10 the vote for the Democratic party:
aside from the falsity Of the made up re

cation, Senator CoDkling made an earnest

the charges of inefhciency and denouncing
tho charges as pretenses and after
thoughts. put forth by the administration
in an effort to justify their action which
was wholly unwarranted on civil service
grounds and promoted merely by personal

man made some semi-jocular remarks,
evidently calculated to widen the breach

the republican members of the senate, aud
Mr.. Edmunds also spoke briefly, without,
however, definitely indicating his position
on the Esubject of the controversy. The
communication and accompanying papers
were then, on motion of Conkling, referred

tions will be rejected.
