:. Yes, indeed, we rather regret that
how that Garfield is declared elected
by the forms of law to the Presiden-
s. ey of the United States, that he did
not also receive if not a majority of
ali the votes cast, at least plurality
over Hancock; but it now appears
from the official count of the several
States that Hancock received over
six thousand more of the popular
votes than did Garfield, while Gar
field falls short of majority of the
whole popular vote over three hun
dYed thousand. And we have two
chief causes of regret that it is so.
The first one is, that it so clearly
shows the absurdity Of our law in
that respect, when a man can be
elected to rule over a great people
with powers often exercised over US,
greater than the Queen of Great
Britain dare exercise over her sub
jects. Secondly-We, regrst it, be-
sause 1T will encourage republicans,
who have now twice in succession, sue
ceeded in putting their man in the
Presidential chair by less than ma
jority, or even a plurality popular
vote. First. through naked, unmiti-
gated fraud and perjury; and next
through fraud and treachery, to re-
fuse their assent to any just and fair
bill or resolution for counting the
electoral vote. Seeing that they are
likely to realize moro through minor
tiles, treacheries and fraud than is
likely, when these things are prevent
ed--let MS see what they will do

Prospects for Wool.

The subject of the future of the
wool crop is now attracting universal
attention throughout the United
States and the extension of sheep
raising is evidenced in every direc-
ton. There is no part of agriculture
which has been so liable to severe re-
action as wool, bit we believe greater
permanence may now be anticipated
in this business than at any former
period of our history. The Boston
Cultivotor, abiding to the future
prices of wool remarks that "wheat
has had it's season of extreme depres
sion; so have corn and meat. yet far
mers continued their production with
out any apparent abatement. But
depressed, theu commences an almost
indiscriminate slaughter of sheep, or
a careless system ofsheep husbandry
and flocks are allowed to disperse or
degenerate and we frequently find
sections which are producing large
quantities of wool left almost entirely
without sheep. Then again come
lamentations from the farmers, and
they are heard regretting their folly
in allowing their tiocks to degenerate
or for having sold them off. There
is one thing of which farmers may be
certain, that manufacturers will never
allow their machinery to stand idle
if there is any prospect for profits
and they may depend upon it, that if
success attends their operations
others will always be ready to embark
in business which has been found
to be successful, and that whenever
there is money in wool there will al
ways be purchasers at prices that
will afford remuneration for moving
it. These remarks are made at sea-
son which is to determine what is to
be the wool crop, not of 1881, but of
'S2, and we can fully assure farmers
everywhere that they may look for
ward to that year for demand for
wool which they ought to produce.
The class Of sheep which ought to be
kept should depend entirely upon
location, in order to make sheep hus-
bandry successful and profitable. In
discrimination hitherto has been it's
banc. Had the adaptabilitv of breed
to location been properly attended to
we should not now he under the ne
cessity of importing wool; neither
should we be importing the amount
of manufactured woolens that we now
are. A large portion of these goods
could be manufactured in this coun-
try and portion of our agricultural
productions, which are now seeking
foreign market wonld have to meet a
home market, where they would be
consumed by these operatives engag-
ed in manufactures, adding to the
soils fertility instead of depletion.

"A difference of about two hun
dred names in this county yet unac-

The population of West irginia in
1870 was 442,014, and the aggregate
gain in ten years. is 176,193. This
does not fulfill first expectations, but
is first rate showing considering the
many disadvantages under which the
State labors. A large part of the State
is mountainous; much larger portion
is inaccessible in the modern accepta-
ton of that term, by lack of railroad
facilities and yet West Virginia has
grown in population at ratio greater

and which compares favorably with
any State of the same latitude. When
the State has acquired more railroads
her population will run up rapidly.

How TO HAVE Ice NEXT SUMNER.
"A great many people do without
ice in the summer-though ponds
and streams at theirdoors furnish an
abundant supply every winter-sim-
ply because they imagine that an ex
pensive ice house is needed to hold
ice. A gentleman who once labored
under the same deludsion, gives the
experience by which he was led to
store his simmer supply of ice sue
cessfully, without an ice-house, after
paying dearly in loss of Of ice and
loss of money, through having too
much ice house." He was convinced
of his error by the circumstance that
the more pains he took with his ice
house the more rapidly the ice melted,
while neighbor who had no ice house
at all always had plenty Of ice. The
practice of the latter was simply to
pile his ice in a square body under a
cowshed having northern exposure,
the first layer of ice being raised above
the ground 80 as to secure good drain
age, and the whole covered thickly
with sawdust. Boards set on end
around the ice pile served to keep the
saw dust in place. A pile of ice six
feet high, eight feet wide, and eight
feet long will make three hundred and
eighty four cubic feet. And this is
enough for the use of an ordinary
family for the, table and to cool the
cream &c. Six team loads fill an ice
house which contains about four hun
bred cubic feet. The blocks should
be cut as smooth as, possible and
square, so they will fit closely, and
then ice must be chopped up fine and
crowded in between the pieces so as
to make solid mass. The closer
the ice is packed and the more solid
the mass is packed together the bet
ter it will keep. When an ice-house
is too close, there is great deal of
condensation, which makes the whole
contents wet and dripping, and causes
the ice to melt rapidly. The air
must be kept as dry as possible, one
secret of keeping ice being plenty of
ventilation. The more ice there is
in pile the better it will keep. A
small quantity must be covered deep
er and thicker than n large mass.
A large mass will almost keep itself.
1t does not require the protection OF
saw dust, but straw or double wall
of boards will be ample. Every per-
son who makes butter ought to have
ice. 1t will more than pay for use in
the dairy and then for the family
it is a luxury every provident man
should supply.-En.

University until the commencement
of the Spring term. Who is in the
fault for it, we do not pretend to
say, but certain it is, some one is
in fault.
The object of the University, as
declared by Act Congress,of July I'd,
1862, is "to promote the liberal and
practical education of the industrial
classes in the several pursuits and
professions in life"
The Board Of Regents have enact
ed copious Code of Bylaws or or
dinances for the good government Of
the University, including and bind
ing alike on Professors, teachers and
students,and which it is not only the
duty of all to observe and obey, but
it is especially made the duty of the
President to see that they are OBJ
served by Professors and teachers, as
well as by students.
BY Sect Of Chap. 2 of said By
Laws, it is provided as follows: IAN
exemplary diligence in study and in
the communication of knowledge,
and performance of every moral and
religious duty,is required Of the Fac
ulty and teachers"
BY Section ii of same chapter it
is declared as follows: mo member
Of the Faculty or tedcher in the Uni
versity shall engage in any occupa-
ton or pursuit which will interfere
with the stated and punctual dis
charge of the duties of his office, I'M
less permitted to do SO by the Board
of Regents"
And by Section IA of the same
Chapter among other things, it is
declared to be the duty of the Presi-
dent ''to see that the ordinances are
observed by Professors and teachers
as we'll as by students" So it will
be seen that it is a mistake to sup
pose that either the President or the
Faculty have no superior, power
to control them or their conduct.
And it is alike mistake to suppose
that the President is President of the
University, when in fact he is only
President of the Faculty, and all
alike under the control of the Board
of Regents. And we suggest as the
proper. and the only way out of the
present difficulties, will be found to
lie in the removal Of the discordant
elements or factors in the working
machinery Of the University: and
filling his or their places with better
and harmonious material. And that
being done, AMI we'll done, to pass
such additional ordinances rs shall
be deemed necessary to define and
regulate more in detail the relative
duties of the several members of the
Faculty to each other, as well as that
of the students in each and every
class or department between them
selves, and as between them and the
Facultv or teachers; and also more
fully define the duties of the Execu-
tive Committee in relation to the
manner of auditing and giving or
ders for payment of teachers salar
les.
In all these things, in our opinion,
the Board of Regents cannot be too
precise and definite. BY these means
the University, and each department
or factor thereof, will be reduced to
one head, and harmony will thereby
be restored to the whole, and success
assured. Too much is now left to
chance or within in or of the several
subordinate departments, the tend
ency whereof is to create division
and dscord.

Mr.. CRAcRAFT's LEcTURE.-The
Hon. E. G.. Cracraft,of Wheeling, de-
livered his lecture on the subject,
Master or Slave, which," in the
University.chapel yesterday evening.
The audience was large, considering
the inclemency of the weather. The
speaker prefaced his lecture with
some very appropriate remarks rela-
tive, to the obligations of our citizens
!. toward the University and a graphic
portrayal of the consequences to the
people who fail to cherish institu-
tions of learning. He is evidently in
deep sympathy with the State Uni
versity, and has implicit faith in the
success of its mission. Whitening
anathemas were hurled at the man
or men who would destroy or even at
tempt to hamper its usefulness. The
lecture contained much that should
encourage young men. They were
shown that it is fitting for them all
to be masters and none of them
slaves. They were urged to become
masters of themselves in every par
ticular-masters of their professions,
masters Of whatever situation they
should meet; but first, to conquer
and become masters of themselves
And no failures should be allowed.
The lecture was an excellent one,
suiting the audience and being APP
preciated. Favorable comment CON
cerning the speaker. and his lecture,
was heard all around We regret
that our space forbids giving sy-
nopsis Of the lecture. 1t was well
worth publishing and would be the
means of accomplishing mnch good
