GARFIELD,s b URRENDER.
A Clause in his letter that Woke UP
Cameron and Won COnkling's

WASHINGTON, July 10 The cause of
the furry in Republican circles turns out
to be the character of Garfield's letter, es-
pecially of that portion of it which treats
of the Civil Service. Garfield has sur
rendered to the Grant crowd, and he an
nounced his surrender when he said in his
letter of acceptance: "Without depriving
any officer of his right as citizen, the
Government should require him to dis
charg all his official duties with intelligence
efficiency and faithfulness. To select
wisely from our vast population those
who are host fitted for the many offices re-
quires an acquaintance far beyond the
reach of any one man. The Executive
should, therefore, seek and receive the i'll
formation and assistance of those whose
knowledge of the communities in which the
duties are to be performed best qualities
them to aid in making the wisest choice.
The Grant men here say that this
brought about the meeting between
Cameron and Jewell, and has led to an
understanding which, should Garfield be
elected, insurts the control of the next
Administration by the Grant crowd,
Garfield hung the notice OF his surrender
on II Civil Service reform peg, but it was
pluin enough to the men who have been
sulkng III their tents. and Cameron, Ill
though he is, hastened to Washington to
tell Jewell that he will lead in the contest,
which has now become largely his own
and his friends. The letter is regarded
by the old Grant crowd as recall TO
power in the party. Not only does
Cameron wake up and shows signs of life,
but Conkling gives up his prospective
European trip, aud the old third-term
heads are sticking up all over the political
stage.
After receiving the assurances from the
Grant men that they would fight under
Garield's banner now that they could
control him, Mr.. Jewell turned his atten-
tion to Mr. Hayes, and convinced that
worthy that he might as well abandon all
pretences of enforcing Civil Service Order
No. l, now that the Republican candidate
had dealt the death blow. The result o.
his visit to Washington is therefore highly
pleasing to Jewell. His candidate has, by
surrendering everything, secured the
efforts of the Grant men in his behalf,
and Mr.. Hayes's troublesome and troubled
conscience is at rest, and will no longer
prevent assessments and generally parti-
san management OF the department..

Miss ISrOsyer's Murder.

CLosTER, N. j., July lit is said that
the aged lady who was so brutally muir
dered by supposed burglars in Tappan, N.
", on Monday night, was undoubtedly
outraged by the ruffians. Suspicion rests
on certain parties in the village. The
lady's name is Hannah Nj. Brewer. Two
men were arrested this afternoon on the
Palisades by Officers Conklin and
McKerney, but upon being taken to Pier
mont they were discharged for want of
sufficient evidence against them. 1t is be-
lieved that there was no violence used by
the robbers except strangulation. The
funeral will take place tomorrow. The
interment will be in Oak Hell cemetery.
The men arrested had what is supposed to
be blood spots on their clothes, but it
afterward proved to be red paint. No de-
tectives are yet at work, fact which
causes much comment on the part of the
| public.

Secretary Thompson,s Threat.

Philadelphia InQuror, Rep
Every man must be maintained in his
right TO vote, and we are rejoiced to hear
that the government appreciates its re.
sponsibility in the premises but the right
can be maintained by the civil authority
without combined aid of the army and
navy, and if Secretary Thompson is wise
he will not threaten their use at the polls
too much, unless, while pretending to
support Garfield, he is really trying to
elect Hancock. The country has had
enough OF bayonets at the polls, and at
this late day it don't want gunboats intro
duced there.

Plant Cuttings in Autumn.

IT does not seem to be generally
known that many trees and shrubs may
be grown from cuttings put out in au-
tumn which utterly fail if put out in the
open ground in the spring, and that in
our climate even plants that root as
readily as the currant and gooseberry
will attain much larger size the first
year if planted in the fall, and a much
larger per cent. of the cuttings will
grow. We commence with the currant
as soon as the buds are fully matured
and the terminal leaves strip readily.
At this stage of growth, roots will be
emitted in very few days. Without a
show of foliage, currant cuttings often
make quite strong roots before the
ground freezes. With the ripening of
the terminal buds, cuttings of many
shrubs and trees are put out; some vari-
cites and species will root readily from
the new wood, cut at the lower end
closely below the bud. The Tree Hon.
eysuckle and some of the Spireas will
grow as readily and surely in this way
as the currant. Dyervilla Japonica,
SNOWFALL and other species with pithy
shoots will only root profitably where
cuttings are taken with heel of soft
ened wood coming from just under the
surface of the ground or with stub OF
older wood. Still other sorts like spirea
prunifolia and spirea opulifolia need to
have the cuttings calloused by tying O
fine wire just below bud, in June, OF
else by cutting or wringing and layering
them. The layers taken up in the fab
will be found nicely calloused and are
quite certain to grow uniformity as cut.
tings. Most of the roses may be propa.
gated in the latter way by iall-planted
cuttings calloused by cutting and layer
ing. Cuttings of Catalpa, Mulberry,
Maple, Birch, Alder and other trees,
will root more or less successfully, put
out in autumn; but in most cases the
cuttings must be so cut as to have at
tached the swell at the base of the shoot
or thin section of the older, firmer
wood at the point of bifurcation. Cut
tings should be put in very firmly at an
angle of about As degrees, with the up
per bud near the surface of the ground;
as cold weather approaches, a covering
of prairie hay or other mulch should be
spread over the cutting rows, to be re-
moved as the buds start in the spring.

THE DAIRY.

II is estimated that the amount of
p eo Ter made in the Ohio creameries is
oo,OOoO, 900 pounds per annum.
HERE are many farmers who have
1A1ra good butter cows but who do not
KNOW 1t. They have poor pastures in
summer and poor shelter and indiffer-
ehI Ieed in winter. They have no con-
venlences for making butter, no ar
langements for keeping the milk cool in
summer and frequently in winter it is
exposed to the odors of the kitchen.
DR. L. MCLEAN, of the Brooklyn, N.
l., veterinary Hospital, who has been
examining the COWS in the stables in
brooklyn, asserts that three-fourths OF
Inem are sick with consumption, pleuro-
pneumonia, or Inflammation of the pleu-
Ia and lung and other diseases. The
milk from these COWS, he said, was
poisonous and liable to cause a great
deal of sickness.
II pays to feed literally COWS giving
milk. Butter is high and now is the
time to feed proftably. Every COW
should be made to produce as much
butter as possible. Whenever butter is
twenty cents per pound or more, there
is money in the dairy business, and the
man who feeds most literally and Judi.
ciously, will make the greatest profit.
Meal, both cotton-seed and corn, roots
pumpkins and fodder corn should all
come in for share of attention as profit
able food for dairy COWS. Whatever
kinds of food are used, the cows should
have all that they can proftably turn
into milk. Many men feel that the,
cannot afford to buy grain for feeding
to COWS at this season of the year. LIE
them take different view and ask
themselves if they can afford not to buy
grain to feed cows when butter is a.
high as it is at Decentralization Jour
nal.

Brigham Young's widows.

THIRTEEN of the widows of Brigham
Young still live in the Lion House at
Salt Lake. Their shares of the estate
were S21,0 200 each, according to the
will, but by threatening litigation they
obtained about $40, 900 more. They re-
ceive, however, only the inco me from
their property; but that is sufficient to
give them excellent fare in the old home,
with servants, horses, and S75 a month
in money. Louise, one of daughters Of
the Prophet by Emiline Free, the most
intellectual and intelligent of the wives,
says that all of her full brothers and sis
tiers have renowned polygamy; but 8
majority of Young's forty-seven chill
dren are Mormons. Speaking of the
household as it used to be, she says
ave lived very happily. My fathers
ruling hand had good deal to do with
it. He taught us to love one another
Every morning wives and children met
in the parlor, where we had prayers and
singing. People have often asked me
how in the world Young knew all of his
children and wives, but can tell you if
a single one was missing at prayers he
knew it, and found out where he or she
was. Our house was like great hotel,
and we the guests. Our father was a
great manager, and very practical in
experimenting his household affairs.
Our rooms opened into long hall, like
the one in the hotel here, but larger,
and when we wanted anything from sis
tiers, brothers, or wives, we went into
this room or that at will"

An Overland Drive from Indiana to
Washington Territory.

WILLIAM MAJOR and Alexander Kirk
patrick left Jasper County, Indiana, on
the 31st day of March, 1880, destined for
Puget Sound, with stout pair of mules
and a comfortable covered wagon. They
arrived at New Tacoma on the evening
of September 14th, having made the
entire distance with the same mules and
wagon-time, 1877 days. The route
travelled was by way of Burlington, Ia.
thence to Plattsmouth, on the Missouri
River; thence through Nebraska and
across the Platte at Old Fort Kearney;
up the Platte and the south branch
thereof to Julesburg; parallel with the
Union Pacific Railroad to Rawlins,
thence along the old emigrant road
through Wyoming, south of the Black
Hills mining region, crossing Idaho to
the mouth of the Malheur River in East
ern Oregon. On this long and tedious
trip, Messrs. Major and kirkpatrick fell
in with a great many emigrants travel
ing in the same direction. At the outset
the boys comprehended the distance,
journeyed slowly, and were left behind
by those in haste to reach their destina-
ton; but as the months wore on they
left those far in the rear who hurried
onward at the start. Grass was found
poor along the entire route, and game
scarce. Major and kirkpatrick are here
to examine and reportupon the country,
both as to climate and resources, and if
the accounts they send home are favor
able large number of well-to-do people
in Jasper County, tired of hot summers
and cold winters, will seek homes in

For Congress,
CHAS. B. SIMONTON.

The Democratic GuberDatorIal Con-
vention met in Nashville Tuesday with
about one thousand delegates present.
Col. George Washington of Knox
was elected temporary chairman on a
test vote, he receiving $40 1l>15 votes
to 293 7-20 for ID. l.. SnOdgrass.
This shows a majority of more than
two-thirds of state credit men. After
the appointing of committees, Col.
j. d. Tilman, of Lincoln, was elected
permanent chairman. We learned
from passengers on the train yesterday
that a part of the no>taX element Of
the convention had decided to bolt
and support Edwards if state credit
man was nominated. We hope they
will think better of this after they
cool off, and that they will rally for
the nominee. The American says the
platform twill declare in explicit
terms against Reputation in all shapes,
and for prompt and final adjustment
of the state debt by the next Legisla-
ture."
Mr.. Boyd Williams, who returned
home this morning, informs us that at
4:30 last evening the convention was
squabbling over a platform, and that
no names had then been presented for
nomination. His opinion was that
the convention would split, and that
the regulators would nominate Say
