(FROM SATURDAYS DAILY
TEzE CAMPAIGN.

The eve of election finds the
National Republican party thor
oughly organized, and with clio ed
ranks ready for the fray. Cheer
ing news from all the doubtful
quarters is being constantly received
at the headquarters of the national
committee. Next Tuesday the
two great political parties in Ohio
and Indiana try their strength. In
the former the fight is severe but
the Republicans are confident of
success. Indiana, a state that has
gone Democratic for the past ten
years, now gives much promise of
electing Porter next Tuesday and
giving Garfield handsome MAORI
ty next November. The failure Of
the Democrats and Greenbackers
to fuse, the personal appropriately
of the Democratic candidates, and
the thorc ugh awakening of the in
dustrial classes to the danger of
Demoeretic success are working

COTTON GROWING ~ SAET
EEEEEI VALE

Last Saturday Mr. Henry Ormt
presented the HERALD with a
quantity of cotton in four stages Of
Development, being the green boil,
boil partly open, fully open and
ready for use. The cotton was ex-
amined by many through the day.
and sent by evenings mail to Major
William B. Hooper, San Francisco,
a gentlemen who is showing great
interest in the development of our
resources. Mr.. Orme planted but
little he desiring to compare it
with the plant grown in Texas, in
which state he has had considerable
experience in the raising of cotton.
Having proved 20 his satisfaction
that it will do better in this valley
than in that state, he will SIT out
next season several acres. In years
past several others have expert
mented with the plant in this valley
all proving highly satisfactory.
There is no danger here Of rains
during the growth and spelling it
as is frequently the case in the
southern states. The labor re-
quired to raise an acre of cotton is
no more than required on an acre
of grain, much less water is required
and it is worth three times as much
money as grain. The second trans
continental railroad will be open
for business before Christmas, ard
will pass our doors, and carry our
cotton to ready cash markets in St.
Louis April is tie proper time to
plant and October of the same year
Is picking time. With these facts
in view the HERALD would suggest
that ten or fifteen of our farmers
put in next April a few acres each
Of cotton, club together, and buy
gin, and we think the result would
be SO satisfactory that many more
viii follow sIiit the following sea
son. Before planting time we viii
have several articles on cotton, and
perhaps be able to distribute seed
free Remember it takes much lest
water than grain does, and scarcity !
of water promises in future years
TO be an important question in this
valley. Let our farmers look into
this matter.

EEc Lick observatory on Mount

At the last meeting of the Califor-
MA Academy of Sciences the report
Of Prof =. -. Burnhan, Of Chicago,
TO the Lick Trustees was received.

made ut Mount Hamilton with re
ference 10 the erection OF the Lick
observatory. The truste es state ihat
the preliminary work On Mount
Hamilton his ALREADY been COM

RAPIDLY as possible under the circum-
stances. The smaller equatorial
telescope, Of twelve inches aperture,
has been ordered from Avian Clark

viii be placed in position early in
1881, and the great equatorial teles-
cope, meridian circle, and other in
struments VIII be contracted for at
an early day. 1t is not expected

putting the Lick observatory in com
plete working order, other than that
incident to the importance and mag
uijude OF the undertaking.
Prof. ). ". BGrnnam who has
made observations from Mount
Hamilton, speaks Of its remarkable
fitness for the site OF an observatory.
There Is wonderful freedom from
clouds and fog. The elevation is
I, go #. above the sea, and the north
peaks Is $40 fl. higher The view
from these peaks Is unobslructcd in
every direction, Here being no higher
grolnd within 4 radius Of 1G0 miles.

Hamilton takes in more ground, ac-
cor!iEg to Prof. Whitney's judgment
than almost any similar peak in the
United States, there being no Oh

payment OF a subsidy of 5000 per

ton that it will cost 10 compel the
county authorities to issue The bonds;
we hear that the company are con-
telnplating a change in their pro-
gTamme. the engineers found, in

GUS bridge Of more than Z mile in

case, and the engineers hav-
ing found that a straight and
much more practicable route lies

about persuaded that it Will be best
