WASHINGTON, October 15.-The ex-
cited and uneasy feeling prevalent
throughout the executive departments
of late while awaiting the result OF the
Ohio election, has to-day given place 70
great satisfaction among the thousands
of government employees in Washing
ton. and routine business is proceeding
quietly as usual a number of proml'
nent officials are still absent from the
city, however, and many clerks are
already arranging for leave OF absence
to go home to vote at the Presidential
election. Political matters, therefore
still continue to attract attention on al
hands, and although there is to-day nc
appearance of excitement, the Novem
Der election is yet manifestly the upper
most subject of interest.

The Dishonest Partner.

One of the most frequent snd de-
plorable agents of sudden ruin is the
dishonest partner. No business can be
managed without mutual confidence be-
tween those who conductit; and though,
when we hear that a commercial man
has brought himself within reach of the
law, we are inclined to doubt if his
partner can have been unaware of his
malpractices, yet it must be obvious
that the dishonesty of one partner too
often arises from the unsuspiciGus sim
plicitv of the other. There are even
instances in which no amount OF
sagacity will save man from the enter
prIses of a roguish partner. The fol-
lowing is very common case A and
b being partners, A dies, and mis- son
succeeds to MS share of the business.
So long as A was alive the speculative
tendencies of B were kept in check;
but young A has not the same expert
ence as his father; he has learned to
respect B; he looks to him for guidance;
and if B has made up his mind to ex-
tend the business of the firm by new
methods, now that he is head partner,
the junior partner will generally be a
mere tool IN his handS. Ii young A be
more fond of pleasure than business ne
will of course be even less than tool
q mere cipher, and B will be- left to
manage matters as he pleases, until he
succeeds in his schemes, and proposes
to buy A out of the business; or fails
and brings A to poverty and disgrace.
1t is a cruel thing that if 3 has abb
seconded, A will have to bear the entire
brunt of creditors wrath, and perhaps
be criminally punished for bis limo
cence But partners have learned this
lesson so often that it is almost q won
der how any sane man can assume re-
sponsibilities without ascertaining the
nature and extent of them. u is GER
tainly not for the public interest that
the sudden ruin of an honest partner
should be pleaded in extenuation for
his ignorance or carelessness. - Cham

Saved by the Cashier.

A Wall street friend of mine, who
has Just returned from the West, told
me rather good story yesterday. Said
he:
n went out to the Yellowstone with
party, and we had 81 curious adven-
ture. There were in the crowd two
brokers, bank cashier, railroad
man and couple of Englishnen. In
a lonely spot we were suddenly held
up by four mounted road agents, who,
with carbines ieyeled at our heads,
shouted to us to put up our hands. ;
Our party was pretty badly shaken up, l
tell you. We were ordered to- step out
while one of their men ransacked the
coach.
"sLook here, men, said one of the
Englishmen, you don't want anything
of us. We are travelling with just money
enough to pay our expenses. This gen
tlemen here is the cashier of the 49,
Bank; but he doesn't carry the bank
funds with him, you know
s.The fellows looked at him a mo-
ment; then one of them asked of our
companion:
's'Are you really a bank cashier?"
Yes, said he, rather family.
s'Then,' said the leader of the gang,
then boys, we're off this hunt. Them
gentlemen kin go. We recognize q
pro essional when we see hinl, and we
take off our hats to bank cashier
because he's the boss in Our line of
business. You can have your wallets,
gentlemen. and we hope you'll have a
safe Journey.
land, sir, would You believe it, the
rascals actually handed back our things
intact, lifted their hats to the cashier
and dashed of like the mischief. We
were rather scarey about travelling in
his company after that, but the poor
fellow assured us on his soul he had
never robbed bank in his life, and he
attributed it all to the fact that a few
rascally cashiers had made the banking
business disreputable for a person of
refined instincts. IN. X. Star.

Plaster as a Fertilizer.

Land plaster or gypsum has been in
constant use for century both in this
country and in some parIs of Europe,
and still its value as fertilizer has not
been definitely settled 1t appears to
be one of those materials that can not
be depended upon to produce uniform
results. In some seasons it will have a
very marked effect upon certain crops,
and perhaps the very next none what
ever can be discovered, even on the
same field and crop. Taking the COM
bined testimony of the farmers who
have had most experience in the use of
plaster as fertilizer IN different sea-
sons and upon various soils and crops,
we may sum the results somewhat as
follows: 1t is most valuable upon
leguminous plants, such as clover, peas
and beans, and more beneficial to these
crops when grown on dry than on wet
or moist soils In some instances it IN
creases the growth of the straw of
cereals or stalks Of corn, but does not
increase the yield of grain. No amount
of plaster applied to a poor soil will
make it rich; hence any beneficial eff
feet must be sought in its chemical ac-
ton, and not in any fertilizing property
existing in the article itself. NJ 7.

The Efficiency Of lightnins. Rods.

There are innumerable INSTANCES on
record in which lightning has been seen.
to strike neutrality-suspicious. with a
luminous flash, and there are still more
in which the extremity OF the rod bears
the traces of the passage Though it of
lightning; but in every cases if the rod
has been Of due size and properly con-
structed and fixed, the building assoc
ciated with it has been entirely unin-
iured. The truth obviouslFis that the
question of efficiency and safety entirely
hangs upon the amplitude 5of the di-
mansions, the number and position of
the points, and the completeness of the
earth contact, of conductors. In any
case where these are insufficient the
ightningrod is source of danger. In
every case where they are ample, and
where the system of their establishment
is sound, the protection is complete. 1t
will be time enough to eater upon a
consideration of the merits Gf the retro
grade course which is advocated when a
case of failure in a lightning conductor
of satisfactory dimensions, and of tested
perfection of construction! has been
established before competent jury on
incontroYertible grounds. The failures
incident upon defective wiiork-as all
unbiased and properly trained thinkers
are aware are among the weightiest
Of the arguments that tell in favor OF
The employment of conductors.
In a very large majority Of the cases
in which accidents have occurred to

inquiry to some easily recognized fault

I.ast Night.s Nfass Meeting.

The meeting at the Theatre last night TO
and the Congressional Convention VI mrs
district, and to ratify the nominations OF
the National Convention, was very large
and enthusiastic. The delegates to the
State Convention were instructed 10 sup
port Gov. Mcdaniel. the present incum-
bent, for Governor, and the Congressional
delegates were instructed 10 support
Judge A. Pratt Adams for Congress.
There is no doubt about Gov. McDaniePs
nomination, and if the voice Of the people
OF this county Is as potent as It
ought to be, there viii be
very little doubt about the nomination
Of Judge Adams. There are
several very strong reasons why the Con-
gresham from this district should be a
resident Of this county. This city has
more interests before Congress every ses-
sion than all the rest Of the district. The
Improvement Of our river and harbOT Is a
matter Of very great importance.
For a number OF years we have
been trying TO get an appropriation
for a post Office building. There are mat
tiers pertaining 10 our commerce that re-
quIre looking after all the time. Other
counties. OF course, have their eandi-
dates, but they have no very strong
reasons why any one Of their candidates
should receive the nomination. When the
convention hears the reasons this county
has to offer in favor Of its candidate it
would not be at all surprising if it should
yield 10 il the nomination. The other
counties can have no objection to the
candidate which this county offers. He
is personally known in nearly all parts Of
the district, and though young man his
reputation for ability is not confined
to this city. Indeed, the fact that he is
young man ought 10 be in his favor. 4
Young man who is at all anxious to sue
coed is much more likely to look |
carefully after the interests of his |
constituents than an old man /
who has about ceased TO care 10 exert |
himself for additional honors. All the cir /
considered, there does not /
seem 10 be any good reason why the nomi- /
nation should not be accorded to this /
county. Great care ought TO be taken to /
present its claims properly.
