SENATOR H1LL,s HOPES.


He Makes n Second Attemptto Reconcile
the Democratic Factions In New York,
WASHINGTON, October 2l.-It has been
ascertained that Senator Ben, Hill'sreturn
to New York from this city was for the
purpose Of making a second attempt to
bring about a settlement between the
Robinson and Kelly factions. The sena-
tor, upon arriving here a fortnight since,
at the close of the first effort, in which he
participated with a number Of prominent
Democrats from the North to arrange the
spIitin the party, declared his belief that
afull understanding would be reached3i in
ample time TO consolidate the Democratic
vote in New York State. In this matter
Senator Hill represents the feeling which
is general among such Southern men as
are-here slncethe Ohio election, that un.
less the Democracy can carry New York
this fall, there can be nothing to be hoped
for in the Presidential campaign. He is,
therefore, urging settlement between
Robinson and Kelly in the name Of all the
Democrats Of the South.

''tcurate Agricultural Statistics,
General Francis a. Walker, superin.
tendent Of the Census, with ayiew TO Sc.
curing greater accuracy and uniformity in
the agricultural statistics to be compiled
for the tenth census, has Just issued a cir.
Pcular settingiorth the aims and wishes Of
the bureau with regard TO the method Of
arranging such statistics. The agricul.
tural schedule annexed to the act Of 1850,
which Is also made part Of the act Of
March 8, 1870, providing for the tenth cen.
sus, requires q report Of the chief prodluc.
tlons OF agriculture 'during the year
ended June l." There Is, however, no
distinctagricultural year which ends on
the LIST OF June, and there is reason to be.
lieye that the statistics OF agriculture from
1850 TO 1870 In regard to many Of the prin.
Cipal products embraced portions OF two
different crops, inasnuch as the enumera.
ton was protracted three, four and even
i've months. BY the act approved March
8, 1870, Il Is provided that the tenth cen.
sus shall be taken and completed during
the month OF June, 1880. This provision
greatly reduces the liability to error which
has been noted.
AS the enumeration begins on the 1st Of
June and closes on or before the 30th, all
the crops which are gathered once year
will fall pretty clearly on one side or the
other Of the dividing line. Thus, thecot.
ton crop reported IN the census will be
that OF 1870, gathered In the fall Of that
year, while the wool clip or "wool CROP
will be that Of the spring Of 1880, except
In portions OF California and Texas, where
both fall and q spring clip are secured.
For certain agricultural products, how
everrthete Is no harvest In the usual sense
Of that term, but the product Is gathered
week by week or day by day as 1t ma.
lures. Milk, butter, cheese, and meat be.
long to this class.
TO remove any doubts that may arise
concerning the crops to be returned In the
census, the following list presents the
several crops specifically mentioned in
the agricultural schedule, arranged as
they fall into the calendar year 1879, or
that OF 1880, or that to he returned for the
twelve months beginning June /, 1870,
and closing May 81, 1880. OF the crop OF
the calendar year OF 1870: Wheat, corr,
rye, oats, barley, buckwheat, rice, tobacco,
cotton, potatoes, peas and beans; orch
ards, vineyards, small fruits, hay, clover
seed, grass seed, hops. hemp, fax, fax
seed, sugar cane and sorghum, acres and
quantity; bees, number OF hives, pounds |
OF honey and wax or the crop OF the |
calendar year 1880: Wool, number Of
teeces and pounds; maple sugar, pounds;
maple molasses, gallons. OF the yield Of
the twelve months ending May 81: But.
ter, cheese, and milk sold, quantity; ami.
mals slaughtered, value; market gardens,
acres and value; forest products and home
value.

TheIncomprehenslble Thing.

From the Chicago Tribune.
The people of Ohio were shown during
the late canvass that from the time OF the
advent Of the Democratic party to power
in Congtesssouthern claims commenced
to pour in, and that in two years these
claims, public and private, for losses sui.
iered during the war, and improvements
OF rivers and harbors exclusively in the
Southern States, aggregated the enormous
sum OF twelve hundred and fifty million
dollars! But, in the face Of that threat to
bankrupt the Treasury OF the Nation and
hopelessly bury the people Of the country
under an insupportable load OF taxation,
nearly one half the citizens OF the State
voted to reinstate the party OF spoiliation
in power! The Democrats Of Ohio were
shown that in single canvass in Louisiana

In. the light OF these facts the inc0mpre.
