Pine trees are like true friends ; through the bright sum. mer of prosperity and the dirk winter of adversity, they are the same. Seck them on any occasion and they are constant, unchanged. These dreamy autumn days, how I love them! There is a mournful beau- tv in them which purifies and elevates the thought. The golden sunlight which sheds such a peculiar, enchant ing radiance over the earth, causes the heart to go out in wonder and adora- tion to the great Being who fashioned all things in such a mysterious manner. The gentle zephyrs as they float by us seem to whisper mn our ears; we cannot understand the language, but when we look down and sce the lifeless leaves at our feet, we know that" the whisper was death, and yet there is such a calm, quiet, influence upon ug, that the thot is neither terrible nor sad, but seems like lying down to dream forever. After many years have gone by, the leaves will continue to come and go as now, but we will not be here to wit- ness their changes. Our spirits will be dwelling in that eternal summer- land, where changes are unknown. STARLIGHT. Lutherville, Md. The Result of the Late Election. The Philadelphia. Herald ‘says: Having the telegraph companies under their control, and falsehood being nat- ural to radicals, the same story was repeated over the Pennsylvania, Obio, apd Indiana elections as had been told of Maine, Connecticut, and Dele ware. Immediately after these elees tions were held great Republican vies tories were announced ; but when the smoke of battle cleared away the truth had to be told, and in each of the States named the Democracy did well. In Maine a gain of over 3,000; in Cou- neeticut 1,200; in Delaware, &0; in Ohio and Indiana, 20,000; and in the Old Keystone 10,000. All this too in despite of the heavy negro vote, amount- ing in Delaware, Pennsylvania, Ohio, and Indiana to at least 50,000, of whieh at least 49,500 voted the radical ticket. The radical papers, in ac counting for the results, in particular instances carefully avoid mentioning the great vote received by their can- didutes from negroes, although the charge was made by us that their tick et was elected—if at all—by the negro ‘vote. Had the nominations of the party been of such a character as to awaken the interests of the people, this eity would have repudiated the radi: power the party that passed it after the popular voice had said no, To in crease these nequisitions let but good men be nominated by Democrats, Look, for instance, at the vote of the Seventh district, comprising Chester ters of abolitionism, and of which the Press boasted so greatly before the election, Townsend last year had 3, 000 majority. This vear, notwith- standing over 2.000 negroes voted for Townsend, his majolity is but about 2,000, showing a radical loss of 3,000 —proving what a popular and good nomination will do-—-such a one as J, Henry Askin, the I) moceratic candi- date, who ceded Town. send, SO Loui iy . ae > Failed to Answer.

The time for his departure had ar- rived——the high-spirited mules were at the door, impatiently champing their bits.

Of 1870 in the majority of States and especially in those in which this cereal is prominent, is materially less in quantity thau the crop of 1869, which was a very large one notwith- standinging the assertions of some cronkers to the contrary, The reduc: tion is due, first to the loss of plants by an unpropitious season for the gers mination and early growth of the wiu- ter variety, followed by an open and somewhat variable winter, and second, to drought which prevailed with great severity in the northern and eastern States. This reduction as averaged from our local returns appears to be about 14 per cent. The average quan tity of the crop is better than that of 1869. The Pacific coast reports are favorable. Some counties in Culi%r- nia make the quantity superior, while others report injury from rust and an inferiority from the maturity of the grain blighted by drought. The ear- ly sown full and spring grain of Ore- gon is good, while that late grown was injured by the excessive heat of sum mer. Among the varieties which have succeeded best the Tappahanock is prominently named. It is frequent- ly mentioned throughout the South and West, and has done well among the mountains of Utah. ttt A movement will be made in the Forty-second Congress to abolish alike the Patent Office and all patent laws, This question is one of great interest, and its discussion will enlist the ats tention of the people to an vnusual de- gree. Public policy will be cited as a strong reason against a change in the existing order of things, It will be said that if inventors are denied a monopoly of the results of their la- bors, invention will be discouraged. It will be replied. that. inventors do not enjoy the benefit of the patent laws, which really atcrue to specula- tors and capitalists, and that men of genius will eontinue to work as they have often worked heretofore, without other reward than success supplies. Early ‘action need not bs expected; but the public mind will be direeted to the, examinations of & subject, whichy at no distant day, will have to be met and decided as a national ne- cessity.

We give a number of these schemes it as cofidensed form ws phesible Below. 1. The niéthed of tists, of Genevan or" gin, which propese: that each party shall vrepadgan authorized ballot. containing a lizt of its candidates, and that the number of members from enchiTist shall be propor-" tioned tothe nomber of ballots thereon 2.

It is also called the elec tion by quotas, because any candidate who’ obtuins his share or quota of votes iw.des = lured elected—he must obtain one-fourth’ of the whole number of votes if there ave four to be chosen; one-fifth if there are five, It is called prefereniinl voting, because cach voter places upon his ballot the numeg: of the’ candidates he wishes % ¢fdst in the order of his preference among them, snd’ the vote is counted for the first on the list, unless lre has already a ruflicient quota’ without it, in which case it is counted for the seco..d named, andsoon. This scheme wims to secure to the elecfors the greatest possible individual freedom and efficiency, and very much dispenses with the neces: ty for their previous co-operation. But it was set aside by the Senate cominittee part ly because’ it seemed so intricatein plan and’ so Radical iw its churaeter, and revelations nary in its possible effect thatit ought to be subjective to experimental tril befoss proposed for general adoption.— Pittsburg ° Post.
