THE nArrLr ANp 1nr RESULT.


The battle has hecn fought, and to all
appearance at 1880 p. m. a surprising vic
tory has been won. The republicans have
fought nobly in both Indiana and Ohio
against fearful odds in methods aud APP
pliance5 Invaders, repeatcrs emigrnnts
and money have poured into those states
from the east TO overwhelm the popular will
but as 1t now looks, the voice of the people
has prevailed, and the cause of honest
elections has been vindicated in spite
of all these appliances. We begin to feel
more and more assured that the American
people have not lost their sense Of patriot
ism and duty, and that they have become
aroused to the importance of keeping this
nation safely in the hands of those who
have ever been loyal to the union, the con-
stitution and the rights of citizenship.
We are not disposed, even under the
hattering and hopeful Indications to
indulge in any excess of exultution,
lest there may be turn in the tide,
which will convict an early glorilica-
ton Of undue precipitancy. With the as
surauces already received we can afford to
wait more full developments for posi-
tive claim of Indiana as republi-
can. Ohio is certain, and Indiana
more than probable. There we rest
the case for the present, hoping aud trust
ing that when the smoke of battle shall
have lifted, both Indiana and Ohio will be
scored to tho republican column. Then on
to certain victory in the nation A solid
north will then confront solid south, "
and we are content.

profitably raised, would become unprofll-
able. Oranges and other tropical fruits now
cultivated would have to bo abandoned or
raised at less profit. Early potatoes, peas,
tomatoes, beans, etc, would be sent in from
the West Indies and Bermuda, to the great
loss of the market gardeners now sprung
up all along the banks of the st. John.
Norfolk, too, would come in for disastrous
competition.

OHIO held-Indiana captured.

THE main question to be settled by the
present contest is Shall or shall not southern
ideas and methods rule this country for the
next fifty years? Tie indications are that
the people think not-and so it will turn
out, if every loyal, union-loving man does
his duty faithfully.

MINOR TOPICS.

ALABAMA, Georgia and Louisiana planters are
encouraging the bringing to those states emgrants
from Portugal, Spain and Italy. Coming from a
climate very similar to that Of the south, 1t Is
thought that the change will not be injurious, and
It's hoped the new people will readily attach them
selves to southern condltIo MS of life and labor We
have very little confidence In the movement 1t
has been tried many times before. OF the two or
three hundred Italians brought to Beaufort county,
S. Co. five years ago, not ono remained year
They are brought into comp ettlon with negro
labor and are very soon convinced that It is use
less TO compete with II in farm labor.

siderable rivalry between them, on Wednesday

with the mail two hours after tho departure OF the
train which connected with the Arizona Mr..
James, postmaster at Now York, was Informed by
telegraph Of tho fact. He went at once to the
Union Pacific railroad Office and Informed Mr.
Sidney Dillon Of the fact, who az once ordered by
telegraph a special engine and m0il-c0r to over.
take tho regular train, So much time had elapsed
before this could be done that the special was
obliged to start some twelve hours behind the
regular. Nevertheless the train was caught alter
q race OF 1000 miles, and the Australian mail ar
rived IN time to bo put on board tho Arizona, and
VIII probably beat the suez mail TO London by at
least ten days.

COMMENTING on the efforts of Commits
sioner DAVENPORT to prevent voting in
New York upon the 10000 fraudulent natu-
ralization papers Of 1868, the World says:
"Such proceedings afford strong illustra-
tion Of the necessity for federal executive
in harmony with a democratic congress,
that this federal interference with our cleo
tions may be swept from the statute book" d"
Just so; and that you are to be disap-
pointed in your desire by the intelligent
energy and courage of the chief supervisor
is the cause Of your present anger.

The Culture Of Vioiets.

Itmaysurprisehota few Of our read.
ers to hear that violets need,culture.
That culture affects these is beyond
"a doubt. Thessize ofthe flower may
be donb1ed or trebled by It. In
some things an increase Of size seems
purchased too dearly by a diminn-
ton OF fragrance. 1t is not SO in VI
Diets, but the reverse. The larger
they are the sweeter also they grow,
and though length Of flower stem is
much modified by variety, it may al
SC. be drawnupa and QUITO some coasid-
cradle extent by cultivation. The
leaves Of violets should always &C
company the flowers. All flowers
should have their own leaves as the
very best, because the most natural.
A little culture changes The leaves Of

ing the ~violets every ySar, and in do
ing it early and carefully: The VIC

somewhat in the manner Of s'awber-
ries These should be detached and
planted Immediately they are pro-

plants have lett off towering. Plant
in rich soil from six to eight inches
or q foot apart, and keep the plants
zee Of weeds and sufficiently moist
to keep them growing freely through
out the summe months.
Some of the sorts will also attempt
to form runners for the young plants.
These should be Iiuched off, SOFAS to.
concentrate all the strength in the
plant into a fat and plump crown.
AS to the situation for the culture
Of the lovely v%iolets. much depends
on locality. Behind a west or northl
wall answers well on some soil and
sites. Sometimes a western border, full

Scuppernong Grapes.

Mr.. Eaalib, of Halifax county,

culture of the grape, and with forty
years experience as a vineyardist TWEEN
ty years of#hich were spentamong the

vine-in the third year willproduce
aboutone peck Of grapes in the fourth
year two bushels inthe fifth year five
bushels, He claims hat when in
full bearing they average from 400
to 500 bushels per acre, from which
$500 gallons Of wine may be press
ed. Vines of the .scuppernong vari-
ETY. have, in his neishborhood reach
ed the enerable age Of one hundred

this sort in North county, covering
two acres of ground, yielded, last
season, lorty.eigbt barrels of wine,
although its supports were dIlapIdat-
ed and not one cent had been ex,
pended in cultivation. He estimates
the expense Of preparing anlacre Of

W. M. Pendletou Grange

To the ". II. and Members Of the
Pendlton Grange: >
The committee appointed some
months ago to visit the farms OF the
members, and by direct inquiry as
certain the average number OF acres
in the farms, the kind of crops usual
ly raised, their relative value and
proitableness, &C., submit the follow
ing report
We only visited some fifteen farms,
taking them as we came to them had
we had the time We would have Wis
tied the farms of each one Of the
members, but from u general knowl-
edge of the farms not visited we are
satisfied they would have sustained
the general results arrived at.
In arriving at the results hereinaf-
ter set forth we. in every case, aver
aged the individual results for a Pc
Rod of FIVE years, and from these in
dividual results we struck a general
average Of all the farms visited. We
find the average number of acres to
the farm to be 1901 acres being
in cultivation, leaving $50 acres to
the farm untitled, unremuneratlve
and dead, so far as profits are con-
cerned. What bank, with two-thirds
Of its capital locked up in its vaults
unused, would ever declare a divi-
dend AS we have our living ont o.
the lands we now cultivate, the pro-
ceeds of our untitled lands, were they
in cultivation also, would be a clear
profit. Let us, then, cease to cry
hard times, and devote ourselves pa
tiently to the effort TO solve the prob
lem of how We can best bring these
lands under cultivation ourselves, or
cause them to be cultivated. 1t is
true our situation for the past twelve
or fifteen years has prevented US from
doing many things that we knew
ought to have been done, but the
time has come when We cannot be
much longer excused for such gross
Encouragement.
There is no general rule in renting
lands. Some landowners receive
one-third Of all the crops raised, 9th
era receive one-third Of some Of the
crops and one-fourth of the others.
It is generally conceded that it is
more profitable to. hire hands for
wages than to rent. Wages average
SO per month, with r%a!ions, for NUN
Der one hands.
