last Sat unlay to defeat the re-nomination
for the New York State Senate of
"I.o" Sessions, the self-confessed pro
fo3ioTvil Alb my lobbyist, ro whose case
we referred last week. Norman M. Al
len was notninated. The defeat of Ses
sions is an except ion to an almost uni
versal practice, which prevails in the He
publican party.
Wnn.E throughout the xieater part
of this country, owing to the long con
tinued drought, "the earth is ashes and
the sky is brass," it has leen daily rain
ing for almost two weeks up to last Mon
day , all over F.ngland, Ireland and Scot
land, and the wheat crop in the first
naiii-"-d country, which had been cut and
was in shock, has been damaged beyond
recovery. Not more than half a crop,
and in some counties not even that, will
be realized. In Ireland great fear was
entertained that the potato rot would
set in, but as the rain ceased on Monday
the danger passed away. Thousands of
Knglish farmers will beruined and many
a landlord will fall with them. It is
stated as a fact that there has not been
a really good old-fashioned harvest in
England since lsCd. '

met at Lynchburg two weeks ago, but !
declined it in order, as we think, to ren- j

in as much as the Republican party finds j
itself without candidates in the field for
State officers, its memliers are free to
cast their votes according to their indi
vidual preferences, or abstain from vot
ing altogether. lie contends that no
Republican can vote tor tlie Readjuster
candidates without abandoning one of
the most vitally important principles of
the Republican party. In conclusion,
Gen. AVickham says : "For myself I am
in this canvass heartily for Daniel, Bar
bour and McKinney, as far less hurtful
to the best interests of the State and of
the country than the Readjuster candi
dates,"' As an honest man Gen. Wick
ham coul.l take no other course, and
having manfully thrown himself into
the breach the cause of Mahone becomes
hopeless. The present contest in that
State will be fought by the Democratic
party and its Republican allies, led by
Gen. Wickham, in favor of honestly
maintaining the public credit of the old
Dominion, on the one side, and by Ma
hone with his repudiation robbers on tlie
other.

THE HARVEST.
The harvest this year was early, hut light. !
We began making hay about May loth, com- .
nienced heading about Jnne loth, and were 1
done, about July 17th. We had about 1,'Jort j
acres, which yielded about 8 bushels to the j
acre a half a crop, and only one-third that
of last year. Our neighbors had about the
same yield. In fact, all the wheat-growing 1
counties were in the same fix this year.
Still there is a treat quantity of wheat held I
ovr from last year. i

A waving wheat field of tltiiti-thn-x-tnul
acres ready for the reaping machine
must be a splendid sight. A man nam- j
ed Dalryniple owns such a field in the
Red River country, in Dakota Territory.
He will have this year about 0Mjh j
bushels of wheat an average of twenty ;
bushels to the acre and will also harvest
ninety thousand bushels of oats, for the
eight hindred horses and mules requir
ed to do his work. He sends three
train loads of wheat a day to Dultith
over the Northern Pacific Rail Road,
and every two days loads a vessel at that
place for Buffalo, lie uses two hun
dred self-binding hai vesters and thirty
steam threshers, the harvesters cutting
an average of 2,s) acres a day and the
threshers turning out about :','i,ln hi bush
els during the same time. Tic :'.'), u(i
acres ate divided into live equal parts of
fi.trtH) acres, each division having its own
superintendent, who again divides bis
domain into tbiee parts of -J.ihhi acres.
Each of the five superintendants plants
his crop and harvests it with the men as
signed him by Mr. Dalryniple. The
cost of production averages 7 an acre,
which would amount to S.'UVmmi, while
the wheat is sold at an average net price
of SI per bushel. The profit, 'therefore,
of Mr. Dalrymple's little place for this
year will be -?:5'.h ,iW more than per
cent, on the entire investment. The
Dalryniple wheat farm is the largest in
Dakota, but there are others of immense
.size. The first crop was harvested by
the Democratic Mate Convention, which i i,-. ;n Is7i .vlieu the entire wheat pro
din t of the Territory was only .

day, the J'th instant. They are both ex
cellent men, honest, competent, and of
unblemished reputation. So far as the
election of delegates to the convention
from that iortion of the State in which
they reside has taken place, Mr. Noble
lias the decided advantage, and his nom
ination seems very probable. He is a
self-made man. and by his industry and
energy has rendered himself one of the
Lest-known and trusted business men in
Noithwestern Pennsylvania. He would
be a very formidable candidate in the
oil region, w here his name isas familiar
as a household word. Mr. Noble now
represents the city of Erie in the House
at Harrisburg. and enjoys Hie highest re
sect of the members of both political
parties in that lody.

The last Legislature appropriated ten
thousand dollars to enable Pennsylvania
to make a proper and creditable display
at the Vorkiown (Va.) centennial in
October, and a committee w as apimrWted
to see that the money was applied in
such a way as best to accomplish the
purpose for which it was appropriated.
It has just been announced that in pursuant-:-
of a resolution of the committee,
the state will be represented by the
Governor and heads of departments, the
niemWrs of the Legislature and'a select
body of the National GuarJ. It will be
a proud day for this good old State to be

THE condition of the President be
came so alarming on Satur lay morning
last, that all Iiopc of his recovery was
given up by his physicians, but late in
the evening a change for the Letter took
place, which continued dm ing the night
and throughout Sunday. Since then
and up to this (Wednesday) at 9 A. M.
bis condition has remained about the
; same, and while there l as been no very
great gain, there has at least been no
bss, causing a renewal of the hoj-e that
lie will ultimately recover. Dr. Hamil
ton, the New York surgeon in attend
ance at the White House, refuses to ex
press a positive belief in the 1 'resident's
lecoveiy. but has no hesitation in say
ing that the prospect is much better
uow than ever liefore. The patient's
strength is slowly returning and the
doctors tlii ilk that the worst is ner and
that he will soon begin to recover, tho'
the process will be Mow and gradual.
.Dr. Bliss said on Monday that the Pres
ident was on the up grade uow, and the
longer be holds hisowu the easier it will

Ex-U. S. Senatoii Wii.i.iam AV. Fa- j
ton, of Connecticut, one of the In st j
known Democrats in the country, said j
last week in Philadelphia that Vice Pies- I
ident Arthur is a man of talent, a gen- j
tleman, and a man of affairs, and that. ,
he would make a good Pres'dent if he ;
! should be called upon to assume the du-
' ties of the oilice. He further said, and i
' ii is the truth, that no one man can ;
break this country up that lie had ,
' heard of no one who desires to do f-o,
I and that the country will run itself. ;
, Mr. Eaton's well-known personal friend- '.
ship for Roscoe Coiil.ling when they
1 were in the Senate, although he despis- 1
led Conkling's politics, may perhaps'
1 cause him to take a rosy view of what (
I would happen if Conkling's man Ar- ;
i thur, whom he may be said to have in- j
i vented, should become President. Mr. ,
; Hayes would not likely partake to any '
, large extent of Senator Eaton's faith in
; Chester A. Arthur, for the very simple I
! reason that when he was acting aPres-
ident he dismissed the same Arthur
! from tiie Collect orship of the Port of
J New York, in ordei, as he sa:d in his
1 letter of removal, that the affairs of the
' oilice might be "honestly7' administered.
PRICE OF WHEAT.
Last year wheat didn't sell for more than
7J cents per bushel. The cause of this was
a corner made in chartering ships, by which
it cost us neatly twenty dollars a ton to send
our wheat to market. It all goes around
Cape Iloin, whereas fiom the States it goes
diiei-t across the Atlantic. Wheat, is only
!o cents a bushel here now, with the late
rise, while in Chicago it f 1. :'. We look for
a great rise in the market ere long, and I
should not wonder if it went up to two cents
a pound, or f 1.20 per bushel, before Christ
mas. 1 l.I. TIMES.
Last year, alout this time, there was a
great inquiry for land, both by purchasers
and leasers, lint the low price of wheat has
put a stop to inquiry entirely, and these dull
times will remain until wheat rises to a high
figure, which may lie soon. Tlien there will
be a rush for land again. "People nnware
settling along the new routes of railroads,
and thousands of immigrants go to Arizona
or Oregon, and some even to old Mexico.
OCR STAPLES.
Our staples at present-are wheat, miner
als, wool and wine. Mineral interests are
piite active now, especially placer mining.

late witn respect to tne proper action 01 mc
Senate in the event of the President's death.
The composition of the Senate, politically
considered, is such that the Democrats, if so
disposed, could make infinite trouble. But
it is evident that they wish to meet the b'e
nnblicnns in a friendly and conciliatoiy
spirit. Senator Beck's statement that he
would vote for Senator.'Anthony as President
of the Senate, and thereby, of course, Vice
President of the I'nited States,;has given the
greatest satisfaction, and offered a resolution
of a difficulty which threatened to disturb
the country.
The position of '.the Senator is universally
approved as sensible and proper. To select
a Democrat as the next to the Executive,
een if this could lie done without tierce and
protracted opposition, would, in the present
state of popular feeling, be very imprudent,
and might lead to the greatest evils. Sena-
tor Pugh is reported this morning to have
1 taken his stand by the side of his Democrat
ic colleague. He thinks that no great

i With icgret we observe, says the New
York W'orliJ, that the demon of violence still
j possesses the lawless North, and that in ( 'lin
: ton county, Mich. (Republican, nf course), a
negro fanner has just been lynched. He
was, the telegram says, "not of a i uarrelsome
i disposition." hence ni t long ago the neigli
j bors tarred and feathered him; then, when
; he proccded to take legal action, attacked
hlni by night, sp.jt his skull open, dislocated
, his leg ami hanged hinl, "after a desperate
I struggle." And while this scene of lawless-
ness and butchery is being enacted at Sena
tor Conger's back-door as we might say, the
' Senator is up in the woods of Manitoba kiil-
inji bulla Iu-s and blackflies and other game,
j and ly.ng the foundation fm a w hole wilder

I fish-horn of indignation and bellow through

; wade knee-peep in gore, if necessary, "to as
1 sert the sublime truth that this is a Nation,
; and that the harmless colored man shall be
; protected in life, liberty and the pursuit of
I happiness wherever the stars and stripes fly.

I The .Greenback State Convention of
, Mississippi met at Jackson on Thursday
j of last week, and after nominal in? .Ben
jamin King for Governor, adjourned un
. til the follow: us day, when the Itepul)
i lican State Convention was to meet in
i the same city. The coalition then to be
j formed was, of course, well understood
! beforehand, and the result on Friday
was that the Republican Convention en
dorsed Kind's nomination for Governor,
j and in return the Republicans weregiv-
en ceitain of the other nominees on the
: State ticket. Was there ever a time
since the close of the civil war when the
Republican party was not willing tosac
j riiice its principles, so-called, by going
I into partnership w ith a political faction,
' no matter how odious or dishonest its
j doctrines or purposes might be? It will
j swallow ( irceiibackisin ami all its sins,
: whenever it has a chance, as readily ami
J as ravenously as a lnmgiy trout s-.val-j
lows j. baited look in April, and when
the opportunity to do this is waiting, it
j will gulp down repudiation, as it has
; done in Virginia, without even making
j an ugly face at the nan: eons and repul

I The word "colored," so often applied
1
to a negro, seems to be a misnomer, a
black man having so decided. A Sara
toga (X. Y.) judge questioned a negro
in court thus : "You are a colored man,
are you V "No sir,' be replied, "Iut
you are not white ; what are you ?" ask
ed the judge. "I am a hlaci man, sir,
I have never been colored," was the
quick reply, amidst general and hearty
laughter.

recall a sobtary instance of the endorsement
of a Democratic candidate for judge by the
