Correspondence OF the Richmond Dispatch.l
JUNE s, 1880.
The nomination OF Mr.. Garfield by the
Chicago Convention was great surprise 10
all parties here, and manifest dlsappolnt-
ment to the friends OF the several candi-
dates before the Convention. The friends
Of Grant, Blaine, and Sherman. remained
confident even down to the last ballot, and
never dreamed that the man who could only
command one vote during the greater part
of the sittiugs Of the Convention should
finally carry of the prize. The disappoint-
ment is evidently greatest among the Grant
ties, and notably so among The colored peo-
pie, who almost without exception favored
Grants nomination.
A good deal OF money in small sums VIII

large number, were dressed in pure white,
with long wells reaching to the ground, aud
as they knelt around the altar-railng and

THE NOMINATION MADE UNANIMOUS.

The Chair announced that Mr. Garfield,
OF Ohio, having received majority Of the
whole vote cast, was nominated for Presi-
dent of the United States, and asked, "Shall
his nomination be made unauimous?"
Mr.. CONKLING SAID
he had intended to move the nomination
unanimous, but the Chair had anticipated
him. He briefly addressed the Convention,
hoping that the unanimity now displayed
here would be transferred 10 the field Of
campaign, and that all who differed here
would unite In carrying the lance against
the common enemy.
OTHER SPEAKERS.
Mr.. Logan pledged himself and his friends
to sustain the nomination., and earnestly be-
leved that victory would crown their ef.
forts.
Mr. Beaver, OF Pennsylvania, on behalf
OF that State, seconded the motion, The
country might expect from her the largest
majority that she had given in any presi-
Dental contest In many years.

to take recess till p. NJ. was carried.

Blaine and Sherman Did It.

The following singular dispatch from
Chicago appeared in the Washington Post
yesterday:
"Mr. Hoar received q dispatch from
Washington stating that Secretary Sherman
and Senator Blaine were in conference there,
and that they desired their friends here to
combine and secure an adjournment until
tomorrow, In order that decision might
be reached between Blaine and Sherman.
which, IL it did not secure the selection of
one or the other, would probably insure the
defeat OF Grant.
"The final adjournment resolution was
moved by Mr.. Lowering, of Massachusetts,.
who was recognized instantly by the Chair.
There had been, IL is said, an understand
Ing between Hoar and members Of the Mas
sachusetts delegation, and twas, In point
OF fact, Massachusetts that secured the adj.
iournmeRt."
We have elsewhere credited the move.
ment to the BLAINE men. Il would now
appear that both BLAINE and SHERMAN
themselves, as well as the friends OF both
Ia the Convention, had hand in giving the
coup de grace to GRANT. At any rate, the
GRANT boom Is at an end. Hurrah for
BLAINE aud SHERMAN.

requested that her betrotbed should be

her lover, only to be disunied few hours
later by death. The melancholy occurrence

Ravages Of the Army Worm in New

RED BANK, Y. j., June THE newly

Just put in an appearance here. Is complet-
ing the terrible destruction commenced by
the great drought. As soon as the worm
was discovered active measures were taken
to stop its progress. but at first it was not
recognized in its proper character, and the
same method used in fighting the potato
bug was used to destroy the army worm.
Reports from Long Branch, Mechanics
vile, MorriSville. Shrewsbury, Middle
town, and Tinton's Fails say that the
ravages made by this insect have been
very severe. 1t is reported that acres
Of timothy belonging TO George Hance,
at Unions Falls, were destroyed in one
night. On the farms OF Samuel Hendrick-
son, near Rumson. and George Stillwell, at
Shrewsbury, the damage is very great

til they have left nothing edible In it. The
worms for some cause avoid clover fields,
but will strip timothy field quicker than a
mowng-machine. The greatest depreda-
tons are reported at New Bedford. There
the farmers are reported as being unable to
cope with the scourge. The appearance OF
the worm was sudden, and it was not re-
cognized, twenty years having elapsed since
the army worm last visited this region.

ed by His gracious favor wisely en-
ployed in the economies of two
successive democratic Congresses,
have made possible that partial
measure of resumed payment of the
national floating debt, and that
equalization of values called by the
republican party the resumption of
specie payments. But the new
properties awaked by foreign de =
mand and the abundant domestic
product were gifts to the American
people from a higher source than
any agency of the republican party.
No soldiers kept the peace of the
corn fields, no returning boards cam
vassed the wheat sheaves, no super
visors or deputy marshals assisted
at the gathering into the garner, no
electoral commissions gave its bless
ing to the harvest, They were the
fruits of labor, the gracious gifts Of
the laborer of Him who is the larg-
est benefactor in society, the High
Priest Of the democratic hierarchy.
TApplause.l We have been spared
one great danger. Since the 9Th
day Of June, 1880, it has been GER
tain that the usurper will be imme-
diately followed by the monarch.
But the third term is postponed,not
arrested, and the real danger is not
in the third term so much as in the
republican party which makes the
third term possible. Bonaparte
did not crown himself emperor until
Bonapartism had corrupted France.
When more than three-fifths OF
any political party invoke "savior
of society,"" that party is already SO
so poisoned with imperialism that
it has become itself a menace to the
republic far more formidable that
any mischief it processes to fear, Or
any danger it was organized to re-
pei. The remedy, gentlemen, for
this, and all others ills of State
is in eternal vigilance, already new
ly quickened among the people from
whom you come, continued here and
hereafter, is sure to bring victory
to the democratic principles and the
democratic candidates, victory so
full of hope for the republic that

and on the wings of the strong
winds Of March shall be waited

There are some very strange
things about gypsum, OF which we
farmers have not been able to learn
much. In some places no good
results can be seen from its use.
On drained, muck swamp the effect
is not discernible by the eye,
and in some years, though rarely,
farmers who are constant users Of
it say they see no good from it on
any land. Farmers generally be-
lieve its great use is 10 mitigate the
bad effects of a drought. After
barley and oats have come up, anc
there is little or no rain, they SOW
their gypsum, and sometimes the
effect is very marked. But if the
season promises to be a wet one
they do not often SOW it on these
crops.

Small FlOelts the Best O..

We frequently see statements oil
the profit Of wool-growing, says a
contemporary, but almost uniform,
ly the results are given from small
focks Of 100 or less. We are very
we'll aware that the same ratio OF
profit does not hold good in flock
of 500, and that it rapidly decreases
as the numbers 60 mp. In a recent
address before the Indiana Sheep
Growers Association, Mr.. B. f.
Mugee expressed the following
views: There is one thing about
pasturing sheep that has been over
looked, viz The damage done to
the grass by being run over by the
flock. While I believe that one
acre of good grass would keep five
or may be ci ght sheep well, l do
not believe that 100 acres would
500 sheep, Five sheep would
probable do but little damage to
one acre, even though they were
confined to it; they would make
but few tracks over it in 4 day, and
and would easily find fresh grass
each day, But suppose we put
500 sheep on a 100-acre lot: if each
five sheep would confine themselves
to their own particular acre. they
probably would do well in the sum
mer. But they will not do tins,
and right here is where theory and
practice part company. Oar 1--WE
sheep start out to Craze, and the

having so much more work to get

too frequently, and picking about
dung and urine Tor grass, IS doubt
less what makes large hocks 50 la
