How Judge Davis May be Ousted.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 14.-It is pre-.
dicted that Judge Davis will before a
great while have good reason to re-
greet that his ambition led him to fall
such an easy victim to the cajoleries
of the republican Senators. The next
move from that side, possibly at this
session of the Senate, but more pro-
bable at the December session, will be
to bring in resolution for the elcc-
ton of some republican Senator as
President of the Senate. OF course
Judge Davis cannot vote ON such a
proposition, as to do so would be
vote for himself. Thirty eight Sena-
tors, including Malone, will then
make majority of one, and carry
the motion for the election of a re,
publican presiding officer. The feel.
ings of Judge Davis in retiring from
the chair under such circumstances
will not beso enviable az those of Mr..
Bayard on yesterday. Cor Sun.
The Magnificent Corn Crop of Ne
braska.-A correspondent of the Chi
cago Tribune. writing from Lincoln,
Neb., Oct. 8, says: The corn crop is
being gathered as fast as possible, and
| am safe in saying that never before
was there such a magnificent Weld of
corn as this year. The corn crop was
well taken care of, and consequently
Is very large. 1t was thought for
while that the corn crop wouldsbe
short about one-half, but the proof is
certainly TO the contrary. The gener-
al belief of the farming community
in all sections of the State is that the
yield this year is unprecedented in the
history Of the State
Missouri Farms. St. Louis
Republican says: There are many
farms in Missouri now on which the
crop Is worth more than the land.
Twenty dollars per acre is above the
average price of good land, and yet
the crop on every acre which has
produced fifty.bushels of corn is worth
more than twenty dollars. We have
heard of several instances where far.
mers who have purchased lands this
year have raised crops on it which
they could sell for more than the land
cost
