Mrs. Mary Clemmer says OF the
wife Of Gen. Garfield:

her husbands equal, not only, but
in more than one respect his su-
penor. She has the ''philosophic

she has q selfpOise, a strength Of
unswerVing, absolute reetitUde her
husband has not, though her TEN
perament does not give her the &C.
pacity for the seasons Of moral en-
thusiasm which are possible to him.
Much of the time that other women
give to distributing visiting cards,

selves 'Ieaders of society" Mrs. Gar
field spends IN the alcoves Of the
Congressional @ library, searching out
books to carry home to study while
she nurses her children. You may
be sure Of one thing-the woman
who reads and studies while she
rocks her babies, will not be left far
behind her husband in the march Of
actual growth.
That was ten years ago. Since
then I have seen many women rise
to the surface Of caPitOlian life out
of obscurity, and 60 back into OBJ
scurity again; we have seen hun
dreds o.. so-called 'leaders Of socie-
Ey" shrivel and 60 out in the
scorching flame Of fashion while
have followed with a tender heart
this woman, the wife of a famous
mana woman whom nobody called
a 'leader." She, meanwhile, has not
been lifted off her feet, as many
women are, by her husbands rising
fortunes /; no spreading" forth n
stvIe of dress or living no ''airs-
And in Washington official life, that
means everything indicative Of char
acEer. She has moved on IN the
TRANQUIL tenor Of her unobshucted
way, in life of absolute devotion to
her duty; never forgetting the de
mands of her position, or neglectlng
her friends, yet making it her first

ment they plotted incendarism and
instructions, they plotted the re-
lease Of Rebel prisoners from the
prisons Of Columbus, of Chicago, of
Johnson's Island and indianapolis.
In fact they did everything they
could do to hinder the Government,
and encourage the Rebels.
The Gazette knows this to be true.
Every Union soldier who is now vot-
ing the Democratic ticket knows it
to be true. What did the Hillsboro
Gazette do to encourage Democrats
to enlist in the army during the war? ?
What didt say? Can the Editor
point to a single line printed by that
paper during the war, IN favor Of the
Union cause, or encouraging to
Union soldiers ? Net one. We defy
him. On the contrary, so notorious
was its opposition to the war that it
was at one time in great danger Of
being mobbed by the soldiers en-
camped at Camp Mitchell and the
Fair Grounds. He points to Sher-
man, Meade, Sheridan, Pope, SigeI,
Hancock, Mcclellan, Ewing and
other Union generals, as having been
Democrats. How. does he know
that they were Democras7 He don't
know anything about their politics.
| The most of these men were regular
army officers, and perhaps never
voted in their lives. Ewing, we
know, was a Republican, and left
the party because the Republicans
| Of Kansas would not elect him to the
| u. S. Senate.
| But, suppose We admit for the
sake of the argument, that they were
Democrats, what did the Democratic
| party think Of them when they were
fighting the Rebels? It would have
hung every one Of them if it had
! possessed the power They called
them "LincoIn dogs" butchers, ty-
rants, &c. Now, they have the i'm
! Ipudence to claim that a majority Of
/ the soldiers were Democrats. But,
Mr.. Gazette, if you viii just sub
stitute the word Rs5si for Union before
army we viii agree with you, for a
majority of the Rebel army zgsrs
| Democrats, and they are Democrats
yet, and in league with their north
ern allies they are running one ot

form to deceive the North into vot

that they may gain by legislation
what they lost by war.

Department Of Agriculture Report.

Department Of Agriculture Report
The Farmers Review has received
from the Commissioner Of Agricul-.
ture his report upon the condition Of
the crops Of the country as given by
correspondents Of the Department,
on Aug. 1st. We summaries, as
follows;
CoTToS.-The average condition
for the cottOn-grOWiDg States is IO2.
The standis good and the crops two
weeks earlier than usual ~
CoRS.-The general average Of the
corn crop over the whole country
shows some decline since a month,
and is for August j, So against 100
July I. As compared with the con
ditiOn reported on August Z, 1879,
there is an increase Of 5 per cent. this.
year. OF 1913 counties reporting
the crop on August 1, 355 report q
full average, 4S6 report abOve, and
400 below.
SrnEa WHEAr.-On the Ist day Of
August the average condition Of
Spring wheat was IS against 81 last
year.
TOBACGO-The returns Of August
1, show a low condition Of tbs plant.
The average for the whole country
is Sc. The State averages are;
Massachusetts,, 100; Connecticut, 101;
New York, 103 Pennsylvania, 98;
/ Maryland, 81; Virginia. 81; North
| Carolina, 90; Tennessee 92i Ken
tucky, SO; Ohio, So; Illinois, 81;
Wisconsin, 100; Missouri, 96. Com
pared with the returns in July, of
| this year, the New England and
/ Middle States show little change.
Maryland declines largely, while
| Virginia, owing to g more tayorable
season, has increased 2 per cent
POrAToEs.-The condition of the
| potato crop is somewhat better than
| last year. and is 98 against 81 them
| The New England and Middle States,
except a portion Of New Jersey and
/ Delaware, all report a high average
The Gulf States and those in the
Mississippi Valley report an average
above that Of last year, The States
north OF the Ohio river and border
ling on it are somewhat below the re-
| port Of 1879, but still the crop is
promising one. West of the Mis-
sissippi, both Kansas and Nebraska
report low averages on account Of
drought and insect injuries.
BUCKwHEAT.-The area planted IN
| buckwheat shows a slight decline
since last year. New York and
| Pennsylvania, two States which
I grow quite a half Of the whole crop
of the country, show a decline of 2
/ per cent. in the acreage sown. Min
/ 1esota and Nebraska each have an
| increase; the other States show an
area planted of nearly the same as
EI879. The condition is good, and
/ fully equal to that reported last year
at the saune time.
Hay AND PAsTUREs.-Ihe summer
|oF 1880 has not been favorable for
! the hay crop. The drought in June
| and early in July was very detr1-
mental in all the Atlantic States ez-
cept Maine and New Hampshire.
In the States bordering on the Ohio
river, the average is higher than last
? year. West of the Mississippi the
average Is low; on the Pacific slope
the average is very high.

counties stand !?

While it is true that thousands Of
men who had always voted the Dem
ocratic ticket enlisted in the army
and fought CALAMITY for the Union,
what did the Democratic party, as a
bart, do to suppress the Rebel
lion? Nothing. What did it do to
encourage these men to enlist in the
Union army? Nothing. But it did
everything to discourage them and
prevent them from enIisting.
While these brave men were en-
dangering their lives to suppress the
Democratic Rebellion, what were
the leaders Of the Democratic party
doing? They were doing every
thing in their power to cripple the
| Government, and to make the war a
| failure and the Rebellion a success.
From the commencement to the
close of the struggle, they opposed
every measure adopted by the Gov
ernment for carrying on the war,
They opposed the raising of armies,
they denounced as unconstitutional
and illegal every act of Congress and
the President. They denounced it
as an abolition war;" they called
those brave soldiers "'Lincoln hire
Iings" and "Abolition cut-thrOats-" "
They discouraged enlistments, they
encouraged deserhons, they encour-
aged resistance to the drafts, they
organized reasonable secret soCie.
