SPRINGFIEI.D, Tenn, Aug. ..
Editor Herald:
The August election of the State was
held to-day. Things went off quietly
here, though every body worked hard
to elect friends; but tonight, as is al
ways the case, many of them went
home disappointed. There was one
Republican candidate for Sheriff, the
only one for any office, believe, i'm the
county. And out of 533 votes cast ut
the courthouse, 100 of which were col
Ored, he only got 81 votes. So you see
the Republicans stand no show here.
This county is nearly solid to u man
for Hancock and English. Many of the
cOlOred people have seen their error and
are coming out on the right side. Hon.
Joseph l.. Washington, Democratic
ElectOr for this District, made a very
eloquent speech i'm the courthouse last
Monday to large crowd, showing up II
few of the many dark deeds of the Re
publican party and the bad character of
Garfield and Arthur.

or no hay, just so you get the corn.
We have had an abundance of rain
here.
Corn is fine but the tobacco crop i,
very short. The fruit crop is very flint
and is being brought to market in
abundance.
We have nine distilleries running in
this county which make about 600,
gallons of whisky every day and in tn,
town we have 4 wholesale whisk,
houses and eight bar-rOOms. How vii
that do for one small town? But 70

KENTUCKY CROPS AND STOCK
JuIy Report OF the Commissioner a
Agriculture.

COTn.-Since the general rains of the
last few days, we hazard nothing IN
stating that the crop was never more
promising throughout the State, and
the entire corn growing district of the
West the crop promises to be immense.
OF course it may he greatly shortened
by unf;lvOrable conditions i'm the future.
Much of it was planted late, and sea-
sonable rains will be necessary to its
growth and maturity. AT any rate,
with another rainfall, and fair crop
il assured.
Uhedt.-There is not a county i'm the
State from which n full yield of wheat
is reported, and with exceptional crops
the quality is reported below prime, the
berry not having filled out full and
plumb. The extra breadth sOwn will
secure perhaps rs large n return in
bushels rs did last years crop; but
when allowance is made for its general
ly inferior grade, it has Il less proper
tiOnate money value. This, however,
is dependent ON the demand for 1t, and
we are glad to observe that the indicl-
tons of fair foreign market have, up
to this time, kept up prices to a fair
rate. Preparations are now being made
y
crops. Already much ground has been
broken up to this end. In view of the
generally conceded inferior quality OF
the present crop, the question of proper
seed looms up in Importance. IL Is con-
trary to the laws of production and re-
production to expect inferior seeds TO
produce perfect crops. In the hope OF
being able to advise the wheat-raisers
of Kentucky where to obtain prime
wheat for seeding purposes, we repro
duce the following from our last months
i report, and ask of the country press tn
call special attention to it:
"'rhe last Legislature placed at the
disposal of this Department $500 to be
used at its discretion i'm the analysis
of fertilizers, and in giving premiums
for samples of the various farm pro.
duets of the State, etc. / shall give
premiums of so each for five of the
best samples of wheat that may be sent
to this effective for the two best sam
pies of white wheat, two for the TIVE
best samples of amber wheat, and one
The Hartford herald. [volume] (Hartford, Ky.) 1875-1926, 1880-08-18

for the best sample of wheat for cultiva-
ton i'm low or flat lands, all to be passed
upon by impartial and competent judges
selected from different parts of the State.
Each sample must contain not less than
one-half bushel, must be put up neatly
in a sack, with the name and pOst-Of-
flee of the producer, the name Of the
variety, and the mode Ofculture marked
distinctly upon il, or else il will not be
considered"
/. IObdecO.-The early planted tobacco
Is promising, whereas the later planted
became grassy on account of the pro-
tracted rains, and i'm most instances has
turned yellow and looks unthrifty.
Correspondents speak despOndinly some
desparingly of the later planted tobacco
and fully One-half of the area planted
was set late. We are confident that
since it has n chance to be worked out
that our next report will have more
cheerful bearing The prospect i, taken
as whole, that the crop will be much
larger than last year. OF course its
utility will depend almost exclusively
on its handling. The area Of its pro-
duetiOn is being greatly enlarged, espe-
cIally i'm the region round about Frank
fort. The adaptations of the soil of
Franklin county to the production of
the white Burley induced the planting
of a much larger crop last year than the
year before, and there is every indica-
ton that the area will be greatly ell
larged the ensuing year. As a stock
company is being formed for drying
and putting up tobacco ut Frankfort, il
may looked to in the near future As one
of the tobacco marts of the State.
Lice .NOck-We have nothing to re-
port worth noting with regard To live
stock variant from our last monthly re-
port. With the exception of hog chOl-
era i'm "A lew localities, stock of all kinds
is reported in healthy and thrifty con-
ditiOn.
Fertilizers In our next report hope
To be able To set before our readers some
important facts with regard to the Use
of fertilizers on wheat. Practical re-
suits are what are wanted; commercial
fertilizers are expensive, and the ques-
tiOns of most interest to farmers Is, will
il pay To Use them?
One of the leading farmers of the
State has promised Us a detailed state
ment of the results from their use i'm a
crop that has just threshed out 200
bushels. Their Use in crop 80 large
when i'm the same field, and with pre-
cisely the same quality of soil, strips
were left unfertilized, that the difference
i'm product might be noted both as to
yield and quality, would seem to amount
to a demonstration, and ought to settle
the question as to their use. We re-
mark generally that the difference, both
as regards yield and quality, between
the fertiliZed and unfertiliZed portions
of the crop, was all that could have
been expected, and the difference i'm
product paid thrice over the cost of the
fertilizers used.

Glen. HancOck's letter Of acceptance
is a clear, fOrcible and straightforward
document. IL cannot fail to produce
the most favorable impression and to
strengthen the conviction that he is the
right man for the great Office for which
he is now n candidate. Ii is not an
essay ON all the pending political ques-
tons, nor a demagogieal bid for popular
support or for the aid of politicians.
But the letter is replete with patriotic
sentiments and shows its authors devO-
ton to the principles of the Constitu-
ton, his sense of the great responsible
ties which his election will impose upon
him and his firm determination to per-
form the duties of the Office to which the
people may call him faithfully, con-
scientiOusly, and i'm the interest of the
whole country, In the most emphatic
manner he declares that the results Of
war for the Union are unalterable, and
that the three amendments designed to
secure and guard these results are in
violable. Bsqfdio Courier.

Tho Electoral count.-leao.

The grave duty Of counting the votes
cast for President and Vice President
in the Electoral College, will deyolve
upon the present Congress; and though
both Houses are Democratic, and there
is not the same probability Of dispute
as there would be if il were otherwise,
still that fact is not a guarantee that
the minority will not resort to dilatory
and revolutionary measures to save the
Republican candidate from defeat. al.
though they may fail to receive a ma
jority Of the votes Of the College. -
Hence the propriety Of additional
legislation to guard as far as possible
against such contingency.
The essential provisions Of bill
which has been reported to the Lower
House Of Congress, known as the
Brickell bill,) by special committee,
are to the effect that two teIlers shall
be appointed on the part of each House
to receive the votes from the President
Of the Senate who is to preside in joint
convention, and open all the certificate.

t ed as conclusive and the vote counted
, accordingly, unless reversed by boil
Houses. When in case Of such contro
