the facts set forth, the election of the
Cincinnati nominees can reasonably
be expected to improve the conduct
of our national affairs. If Chandler-

control the present chief executive,
there is no question of their ability to
pepetuate that policy through an ad-
ministration presided over by Hayes,
who. If successful, would clearly owe
his elevation to the worst elements of
his party. We believe it is time for
the intelligent voter to seriously con-
template the real question presented
in the national contcst. It is a strug-
gle of the honest, outraged sentiment
of the people, against the thieviug
practices which have been fostered by
Greut. Tilden' election means Re-

though the Republican leaders have
boldly claimed it heretofore. Ohio,
the home of Gov. Ilnyes, and
wliq Atas confessedly nominated to
secure that State, returns a reduced
majority of about we half of that
given to Gov. Hayes last fall. With
a popular vote of more than 500,000,
Ohio, the supposed stronghold of
Republicanism, yields to Grantism
only 5)000 majority. Who can say
what may , result when the proud
names of Tilden and Hendricks shall
be put to the voters of this State in
November? Cannot 3000 be easily
overcome ? There is no longer any
doubt Democracy will sweep the coun-
try, when Tilden and Reform, Hen-
dricks and Honest}' shall displace
Radicalism and usurpation, Grantism
and corruption.

mons of Discord and Hate, of Cor-
ruption and Waste, Bigotry and In-
tolerance, fiercely arrayéd under the

is but a vindication of Grantism, and
the history of the last eight years,
filled as it is with fraud and corrup-
tion, becomes the model for our pe-
culiar system of government.

Elsewhere in to-day's issue will be
found in full the proceedings bad at a
stock meeting held in Beeville on the
7th inst. The Advocatx is indebted
to a gentleman who was in attendance
for the copy furnished our readers.
The resolutions adopted by the West-
ern stockmen at this meeting com-
mand particular attention on account
of their clearly expressed determina-
tion to suppress future depredations
on stock in this section. For long
years the property of the honest
stockmen have been at the mercy of
the thief and robber, who were not
loth to lay hands upon it. In the
mistaken hope that something would
bo done by the State authorities
to suppress this depredation, the
growers of stock here haveljeett slow
to move in their own behalf, and
nothing short of the most. tirgent ne-
cessity compelled them it last to
adopt measures looking to the pro-
tection of their rights. The resolu-
tions to aid in the capture and prose-
cution before the courts of perpetra-
tors of crime may most appropriately
be taken to relate particularly to
persons wlio tiers been connected
with the illegal handling or trading
in stock. Tho measures proposed to
be inaugurated are the proper and
perhaps the only successful methods
that can be adopted to permanently
eradicate from this section'the long-
existing evil. From the heretofore
loose and unsystematic mode of rais-
ing stock in common upon the broad
prairies, dependent as it was, upon
the entire honesty of surrounding
members of the community, has fos-
tered in no small degree the greater
portion of the crime of this section.
When the bad element In our Western
society learns that sure and speedy
will be the punishment for each And
e*ery violation of law, then will that
efomeut change of itself for the bet-
ter. There is no surer way to Im-
press It upon the minds of that ele-
ment than the proposed fund pro-
viding for the arrest and prosecution
of criminals. The plan adopted at
the Bctvllle meeting should ikj re-
affirmed by the stockmen soon to as-
semble at Cuero, iu the hope that
s' me beneficial measure of relief may

of the West.

which' in later years the British cli-
mate has become subject. Blight
and frost have but little influence
upon it—it stands the roughest
weather in , harvest time, and if de-
sirable may be léft Uncut till after
barley harvest.
In view of the late degeneration in
the finer qualities of British wheat of
which complaihts have been rife, this
variety is looked to with considerable
hope, as promising a partial or total
restoration of the normal standard of
production. It is adapted to either
fall or spring sowings, but seed
Should be selected of grain sown at
the same t|me as tho seeding pro-
posed ; that is, spring crops should
be sown with grain raised from pre-
vious springs sowings, etc. Yet the
seed readily adapts itself to a change
in .the time of sowing. The wheat
yields 82 per cent, of flour, which
embraces 63.4 per cent, of fat form-
ing substances, 21.5 per cent of flesh
forming substances, 18.2 per cent,
of water and 1.9 per cent, of inor-
ganic matter.
The Dallas Herald says: The call-
ing in of 70 per cent, upon tlie entire
stock of tho Texas and ¿Pacific Rail-
way Company within six weeks from
this date evidently means business.
The stock of the conipany can not be
less than fifty millions of dollars, and
70 per cent, upon any sum approx-
imating this would carry far into the
great West this enterprise fraught
with so much intcsest to North Texas
and the 8outh.

Third. We further ask that every law-
abiding citizen present pledge himself to
assist Capt. JlcNollv, or any otlier peace
otflcer. in enforcing the laws and bring-
ing criminals to justice.
Fourth. Wo recommend that a com-
mittee be appointed In each county that
is here represented to raise additional
subscriptions, to be held subject to Cap-
tain McNellv's order, and that said com-
mittee in each county be empowered to
report to Captain McNelly the names of
suitable persons to assist lihn in any way
or mauner that he may direct.

tee, the following named persons

on tlie'subject of sowing wheat.
There is tit* crop in which.previous
preparation pays better. Clesuyour
land ol shrill * and sprouts, ami by
digging around them ami cutting otf
si\ or eight inches below Ihe surface
you will not have the same work to
tlo over again uest. year, Let the
surface, of the laud be either thor-
otlghly cleaned of heavy trash by
raking and burning, or cihc let it ik!
cut up so fine that it will be easily
turned under by the plow.
Now break your html deep and
thoroughly—indeed, • it, would have
been better to have done so in Au-
gust. Break it now as quick us you
can. Never sow wheat on tho un-
broke surface and then plow iu. In
view of tlie contingency of a drought
next spring it would be far better to
subsoil your land. The fact is, too
much anil too good preparation can-
not be made. Everything done . in
this line will pay well in the end.
l'rocuro good, sound, plump seed.
If you have not got it, procure, a scp-
erator and take out all tho faulty and
shriveled grams. Sow betwsen the
10th of October and 1st of Decem-
ber. (The writer has sowed as late
as the 15th of December and made a

your wheat in blue-stone (according
to Sear's recipe as published yester-
day) before sowing.
After tlie land is sowed roll It thor-

improvise one out of a log eight or
ten feet long. The advantages of
this, especially on stiff land, are, it

since filled by Marshall, and Monroe,
and (.'ass, aud Marcy, and Stanton—
this great department lias at last
come to be held l>y a man mean
enough to reach out his hand from
his luxurious palace in Washington
and rob the poor common soldiers on
our bleak Western frontier at their
mess tables, rob them of tlieir ra-
tions, the poor privates whose pro-
tection and comfort ought to have
been dear to him 1 What more? There
is the Postmaster-Generalship with
Crcswell and his frauds, and the In-
terior Department with Delano and
his public infamy, and there is the
Attorney-Generalship, that great law
office of the government, given into
the weak hands of a man like Wil-
liams—"Landaulet Williams," as he
is. called—the man who connived at
fraud, and rode about in a earriagé
stolen from the government. This
was Grant's choice of a successor for
Pinckney and Wirt and Evarts !
more than this, he sent the name of
the same Williams to the Senate to
fill the exalted and spotless
Chief Justice of the United States!
To that had it come at last, under
Grant—Williams as succeasor to John
Jay and John Marshall and Salmon
P. Chase.
And during all this dreary and
disgraceful chapter iu our political
history Gen. Grant has steadily stood
by these recreant public officials, giv-
ing them his confidence and protec-
tion, while he has just as steadily
frowned upon and turned out honest
men. Hoar and Cox, at the begin-
ing, and Bristow and Jewell in these
later times—all these men liad to
leave his Cabinet because they hon-
estly tried to do their duty and re-
form abuses, while he lias clung with
a| the stubbornness of iiíb nature, to
siyih men as Delano and Richardson,
aud Belknap and Robeson. When-
evtr tlie honest wrath of a people has
driven a }>nse public servaut from
polrcr because he himself was sham-
ed into resignation, there Grant lias
beén with, his words of sympathy atld
his letters of confidence. You know
th t this has been so. They call it
standing by his friends. Well, that is
agood trait, if a man's friends are
decent people and lit to stand by.
But how comes it that Grauthas nev-
er made the mistnkto to stand by an
hottest and- fearless public officer in
the discharge of his duty? How
comes it that when the people turn
out men for dishonesty, Grant imme-
diately rewards them ?
We thought in Michigan two years
ago that we had at last got rid of
Zacii Chandler. The people were
tired of his political ruláis coarse,
demagogue ways and n|pbad noto-
riety in the country, and with file
help of his own party .they rose up
and overthrew him—cost him out of
the Senate and into private life, as a
useless and dilapidated demágogue.
But Gen. Grant, true to this way of
tial band and lifted him out of the
political gutter and put him inMr,
Cabinet to ornament his Administra,
tion and give him sober counsel in
regard to his great duties!
the winter be a hard one it protects
the roots of the wheat from the cold.
We have seen wheat fields literally
killed out by the northers because of
the porousness of the ground. It
would be well, too, to repeat this pro-
cess of rolling immediately succeed
ipg every heavy freeze after the wheat
is up. These directions well followed
will in nine cases out of ten insure b.
heavy yield of wheat.

no less «person than Miss Agnes
Leclern, formerly of Baltimore, Who
In 1862 married Prince Felix Salm
Nairn, then a brigadier in the Union

camp of tlie unfortunate Maximilian
of Mexico. Tlie romantic adven-
tures .of the princess In Mexico,
where she saved the life of her hus-
band after the (Ml of the Empire,

gallantly fighting at Gravelotte. His
widow has since resided in Germany.

seized an. opportunity when his
sweetheart was rigged in her most
killing array to step on her trail and
pulled out about three yards of gath-
ers, with a rip like a peal of thunder,
exposing abont three-quarters of the
frame work that makes her dress stick
out behind. Bnt, instead of meeting
the accident with perfect equanimity,
she turned round and jabbed her
parasol ¡uto his eye,called him á Innk-
headed leper, and asked him why he
didn't wear his féet sideways, ne
expressed liimseir as thankful that
be didn't marry the girl before find-
ing out what sort of a temper he had.
"Look here, squire, where was yon

five minutes' acquaintance. "I was
