HiStorv of the PIOw-

The first plow is supposed to have
been the rude branch of tree, cut so as
to have a cleft end, the point, which
dragged along the ground, scraping a
furroW into which seeds were thrown.
1t soon occurred to the husbandman
that he might relieve his own labor by
yoking an animal to the long arm of the
primitive instrument; then arose the ne
cessity for a handle, affixed to the back,
so that the plow might be guided. The
strength of the animal soon wore away
or broke the cleft of the branch, and
thus necessity gave rise to the inven-
tion of movable shares, first wood, next
of stone, copper or iron, worked to a
shape adapted to the cutting of burrows,
so as to avoid the excessive labor of the
plowman's having to lean with all his
weight upon the plow, to press it into
the earth. Just such an instrument as
these conjectures indicate was used by
the SaXons. Some of the facts connect
ed with the history of the plow are al
most incredible.
In Ireland there once prevailed GUS
tom of "plowing with the horses tail"
The draught pole was lashed to the tail
of the horse, and, as no harness was en-
ployed, two men were necessary, one to
guide and press upon the plow, the 9TH
er to direct the horse, which he did by
walking backward before the miserable
animal, and beating it on the head on
either side, according to the direction
required. This custom prevailed for a
considerable time, in spite of a law
which was passed in the early part of
the seventeenth century, imposing Sc
we're penalties upon persons guilty of
"plowing by the horses TAIL" rs in the
act mentioned and described. From the
the Rev. Caesar Otway's sketches in
Erris and Tyrawly," it appears that the
barbarous practice fingered in the re-
mote west of Ireland us late as the year
1910.
And from a paper "On the Breed of
Horses in Scotland in the Ancient
Times" printed in the first volume of
the Transactions of the Society of An
tiquaries of Scotland, we find that the
country as late as the year 1902.

THE Cincinnati Enquirer devotes sew
eral columns to a discussion of the caus-
'es which led to the recent Democratic
defeat. The first and leading element
in this result was John Kelly and his
New York crowd. The next is that the
Democracy had been overmatched in
the country. Then Hendricks encoura-
ged John Kelly to rebel in New York.
In return Hendricks was set aside in
Indiana, and Bill English brought to the
front; and then the Democratic party
was wormholed in these two States
from the moment Hancock was nomina-
ted. The Maine election was fatal ad-
vantage to the Democrats, as it aroused
the business men of the country to the
danger of further fusions between the
Democrats and the Greebackers. The
Republicans were united and harmoni
GUS all over the country, while the Dem
ocrats were divided and distracted. Bar
mum, iustead of devoting his time to cal
rying New York, was bending his mu-
lish energies towards securing the great
State of Connecticut. Wade Hampton's
silly conduct and egotistical speeches
inflamed the country. The tariff ques-
tion aroused the workingmen, and did
much in changing the current of victory
These are only few of the reasons al
legged by the Enquirer,

which the Public are Familiar.

NEW YORK, Nov. ALI kinds Of
startling rumors were set af1oat to-day
in regard to some surprising action
about to be taken by the Democratic
National and State Committees, intend
ed to prove fraud on the part of the Re
tpublicans in New York State, more es-
pecially in the border counties and in
New York City and Brooklyn. Mem
sbers of the National and State Commit
mittees were very mysterious, but ad-
mitted that some action would certain
ly be taken, and promptly the State
Committee held meeting and issued the
following address:
WHEREAS, 1t appears that at the re-
cent election in this State the vote has
been cast in certain localities largely in
excess of the legal vote as determined by
the recent census, taken under the di-
rection of the General Government; !;
therefore,
Resolved, That IL be the duty of the
several county committees of this State,
and they are requested by the State
Committee to examine such census re-
turns and make comparison with the
votes recorded as having been pelled in
the various districts Of their counties,
with view of ascertaining the extent
of the fraudulent vote in this State and
forward the immediate result of such
examination to w. A. Fowler. Chair
man of the Democratic State Executive
Committee, New York. The unaccount-
able increase irf the Republican vote in
New York and Kings counties and the
plain evidences of fraud in such vote.
demand immediate investigation on the
part of the respective Democratic Or
CARNATIONS Of the counties.
Resolved, That all citizens Of this
State, in each and every locality, who
favor the right Of the people to popular
government and who believe fair vote
and an honest count essential to the
