The question was put by the CHAIR whether

purpose was. and what he was employed for.
After repeated efforts, Lynch WAS allowed to

reason for the Suspension of the con-
test and before the term expires We
expect Mr.. King to pat in bis rib 10
some new tangled way. But it is
true that Mr.. Hszelton's majority e
100 more than was supposed and
more than the official certificate
gives him and this 100 is in this

cd 10 the effort to count Mr.. Cover
in for Sheriff that adding up the COL

ID fortunate he still had a msjority

A WAR INCIDENT.
Taking Desperate Chances for Chew OF To-
baccO.

"Grubby" was a middle-aged, easy
going sort of fellow, who felt a sort
of martial pride in pointing to the
address on his letters, which read as
follows: Godfrey Hardy, Company
K. Thirty-first New Jersey Vol. In
fantry, Third Brigade, First Division,
First Army Corps OF the Potomac /"
It was on a hot day in the month of
June, ls63-the day before the north.
ward movement which eliminated at
Gettysburg-that "Grubby," with
many others of his regiment. was sent
to do picket duty at a point on the
Rappahannock, about two miles be.
low Fredericksburg. About 10 O'Clock
a. m, he was duly posted close to the
edge of the abrupt bank of the stream
On the opposite shore, and perhaps
one hundred feet distant, were the
enemy's pickets pacing to and fro.-
There was no picket shooting being
done at the time, and although the
opposing lines were only separated
by the narrow river, they paced their
"beats" in full view of each other
without fear. After "Grubby" had
held his position some twenty min.
utes he approached the sentinel on
his right and asked for chew of to-
bacco, but the party accosted never
used the "weed" and was unable to
supply his want. The sentinel on his
lett was next interviewed with the
same i'll success The case now be-
gan to look desperate, an hour and a
half yet before the relief would come,
and no tobacco. He slung his gun
over his shoulder and walked to and
fro in a mechanical sort of way, the
very image of despair. But pres
emily he halted. faced quickly to the
opposite shore, and called out in a
subdued tone to the confederate sen.
try: "Say, teller over there, have you
any tobacker ?"
"Yes," came the quick response.
"Will you gimme a chaw if III come
over?' 'sYes," said Johnny. In a
twinkling Grubby inverted his gun,
thrust the bayonet in the ground,
peeled off his clothes, and was in the
water pulling for the other side. He
got his tobacco, and returned to his
post just in time to escape detection
by an officer who rode along just then
to inspect the picket line.
The writer of this was on picket
duty at the same time and Gan vouch
for the correctness of the story.

Can We Produce Our Own Sugar in the
North?

The results reached by the cane
growers convention recently held in
st. Louis, and which was made up OF
practical growers of (Sorghum) cane
and manufacturers of syrups from all
the States of the Northwest, may be
briefly summed up as follows: That
while the furore and excitement which
followed the introduction of Sorghum
cane into this country largely subsid.
ed after a few years, few in all parts
OF the country have persisted in the
business, seeking the best varieties
for cultivation and improved methods
Of manufacture. OF the fifteen or
twenty varieties of the Chinese and
African canes originally introduced
into this country, only five or SIX re.
main in general cultivation, they hav-
ing proved themselves superior to the
others which have been discarded.
Among these, the Early Amber,
which is probably a hybrid or cross,
is recognized as among the best, if
not the very best, on account of its
early maturity, it's richness in saccha.
rine juices, the superior quality of
syrup made from it, and the readiness
with which it graduates into sugar.
With the improved varieties of
cane and methods of manufacture, the
quality of syrups made has not only
steadily improved, but remarkable re-.
suits in obtaining graduated sugar
have been reached by nearly all cane
growers, until the conviction has
forced itself upon the minds of nearly
all engaged in the business that it IS
on the eve of development from
simple syrup making into sugar MAX
ing, and may be SO developed as to
furnish our entire sugar supply, and
save to the country the one hundred
millions of dollars annually paid ont
for foreign sugars.
A large number of samples Of dry
sugars were on exhibition, which
were fully equal 10 the best New Or
leans unrefined sugars in the market.
But the production of granulated
sugar under the ordinary process of
manufacturing syrups cannot always
be relied upon, being much more
abundant in some years and in certain
localities than in others. But Prot.
Stewart, OF Pennsylvania, claims that
he has discovered process by which
the production of sugar from the
juices Of any Of the varieties OF cane
or of cornstalks is as certain as the
production of starch or alcohol from
grain by employing the processes for
producing these articles
That every gallon of dense syrup
weighing thirteen pounds will pro-
duce ten pounds of dry sugar, the
cost of which, including the growing
Of the crops and manufacture, will not
exceed three cents per pound.
In other words, that an acre of
ground in cane, producing one hun.

The Army Appropriation Bill Pase ed
By the House.

The army appropriation bill was
paesed in the house Saturday If err
'oon by vote of yeas 158. nays
! l22, strict party vote, the Green
hackers, excepting Barlow Of Yer.
mont, and Forsyth, of Illinois, vo-
ting with the Democrats 10 favor oil
the bill. 1t is thought that the
Greenbackers were led to expect, as
return for voting with the Demo-
Gratis some help in getting their f.
nsncial schemes before the present
session. If so, they are so tar de.
ceived for the Democrats voted to
adjourn over Tuesday, thus skipping
the bill for another week.
Of course the bill passed contain
ed the clause repeating the law re.
Sarding the use of the army to quel
disturbances or to keep the peace 81
the polls. A motion was made to
strike out this repeating section and
instruct the committee to bring it ia
q . separate measure. Congel
urged the adoption of this motion
declaring that in case it prevailed
the measure would be passed with
out opposition from the Republicans,
but the Democrats utterly refused
to assent to this proposition, the
motion being rejected; yeas 122, nays
1875. Several other amendments
were proposed and rejected, among
which was one providing that moth.
ing contained IN the bill sh1ll limit
the right of the civil officers of the
government to keep the peace at the
polls during the election of mem bers
Of Congress. This was rejected by q
vote OF yeas III; nays 1876. An
amendment making it penal offence
for any person by menace or threats
TO disturb any political meeting in
the interest of candidate for Con
gross was ruled out of order by
chairman Springer. An amendment,
previously offered. making it penal
offsnse to interfere with the freedom
of voters at elections for congress
was ruled out as not germane to the
bill. Ii seems, in the estimation OF
the Democracy, to be right and pro.
per TO repeal the laws made for the
protection of the voter but not ia
pass any for that purpose. In this
the Democracy are consistent with
the history of their party.
The bill now goes to the Senate
where it will probably be passed US
it came from the House, for, although
some of the Senators are opposed to
the repeating clause being tackled 10
it, they will doubtless succumb to
the will of the majority of their par
ty. If the bill passes the Senate the
president will probably veto it and
then the repeating clause will be
brought in and passed as separate
measure. If that receives the sigma.
ture of the president the appropria-
ton bills will then be passed and the
session will end. The Democrats
will gain nothing by the course they
have pursued, except the condemna.
ton of all fair. minded men; for from
their point of view there is no neces.
sity for persisting in pressing the re
peal OF the to them obnoxious laws
at the present session.-7he Wiscon-

Horses For Work-Not For Beet.

The Agricultural Gazette claims
that farmers are not judicious in this
country in the selection of horses -
They choose breeders, it says, as il
they were raising horses for beef
"The jockey buys horse in the fall
and shuts him up and fattens him as
he would q steer-not to suit the pal
ate of an epicure but to fill the eye OF
practical farmer" We fear the
writer's inspiration came in some de.
gree from the pockets of party it,
terested in opposing the breeding of
the large, good eaters now looked for
among farmers. But he suggests some
practical tests. Let the farmer tax Q
control of the horse matters at The
fairs and demand that one-half the
premiums given to horses shall be ex.
pended on trials OF strength as we'll as
speed. Let each horse be driven for
an hour at speed before load, giving
TO the roadster his own weight and TO
the draft horse twice his weight
Make similar trials every spring, as
the test Of merit and popularity. Pro-
tract tue trial two, three, FIVE or ten
hours, rigidly demanding that increase
of weight without corresponding in.
crease of power shall be regarded as
incumbrance. Such a course would
cause horses to be bred in good work.
