In considering the condition and wants
of our naly;, it never seams to occur to the
writers pathe subject that the most impor
truitelements in naval warfare lare not the
foraidable character of the guns and the
armature, but the speed of the ‘reirsels, the
skill of the officers and the heroic bravery`;
of the sailors.. 111 these three respects the
American navy has not occupied an inferior
rank, and it is the merest moonshine to sup
pose that any foreign country which prefers
the cheapest sailors to the best {can be su
perior to our country, which pr4fersthe best
sailors to the cheapest. 4.1
The history of the first isession of . the
Forty-ieventh Congress, just clo sed , should
convince everybody that tlueiXentryis -not
benefited by parties in ccmiress—beingpoliti
cally nearly equally, divided. The session
has for this reason been unusually prolonged
without benefit to - the pt?ple. IThongh the
Republicans have a sma I raajority
the House, the Democrats, ludirss every
Republican was in his Oat, Nliare able to
obstruct legislation by b,aking a quorum.
By precedent so long oliervedin our Con
gressional District that it has become the
fixed law of the Republican party, no mem
ber of Congress has been refus a nomina
tion for a second term. \ The no. no. reason
founded in justice or good policy for break
ing the rule this year. I ;.
The responsibility for the postponement
of the bill for the reduction !of internal
revenue taxes, and modification of the
tariff, and the failure to pass the . measure
during the session of CongresS just closed,
rests with the Democratic Senators. The
bill is a Republican measure, emanating
from the Ways end Means Committee of
the House, and was passed by the Honie
and sent to the Senate six weeks prior to
the 'close of the session. The Democratic
Senators gave notice that they would de
feat its passage I during the session. unless
amended to suit their views in respect to
a reduction of the taxes on whiskey and
tobacco, and they accomplished • their pur
pose. The bill may howeveri be reached
and 1)9 q.od . during thekhext session. It does
not die with the adjournment ! i7ind may be
called',up at any tieie after the assembling
of Congress next December.
Says the Philadelphia Nor ! th American
"Mr. John Stewart, the Independent can
didate for Governor, has come to the front
with another electioneering letter, in which
General Beaver is invited to take part in a
joint discussion of the questions at issue be
tween the warring wings of the Republican
party in this State. That the invitation
will be accepted is extremely improbable.
That is not the kind of , a controversy into
which. General Beaver 'is called upon to
enter, or from which he could hope to gain
any advantage. If he were 'the champion
or the representative of the system which
1 Mr. Stewart is attacking, the case would
be different, but General Eteaver is neither
the one nor the other. Though nominated
by a '
convention in which objectionable
methods may to, a greater or less 'extent
have prevailed, General Beaver is in no
sense of the 'expression i s ",estPhine"
nominee. He owes his nomination not to
Mr. Cameron or to any other man, but to
his own personal merit and popularity. He,
was so distinctly the choice of the Republi
can party in this State that his claims were
too strong to be ignored, and upon those
claims his chances of electiOn - may safely
and properly be rested." ; '
The Bradford Reporter takes the front in
indorsing the Hon. C. C. Jadwin for a sec
ond tei in 'Congress. Perhaps it would
be 'well for our esteemed contemporary -to
tell its readers what the Hon. Mr. Jadwin
has done during his present term , to entitle
him to be sent back. If he is to be relect
ed on the grounct i of custom, regardless of
merit, then we say abandon such a practice,
and seek to elect I ft man whO will serve the
people of this dist4ict for their best: good,
and not use the power visited , in -him foe
the purpose of politiCal gain. There are
several things to ventilate in regard to
Jadwin's political course - hereafter.—Le-
Raystille Advertiser. ' Perhaps the people
will return Mr. Jadwin fOr some things that
ho failed to do, and among-them, no doubt,-
will be that of his failure: to have the'editor
of the Leßaysville
.Advertiser, appointed
Postmaster at Lellaysville. B4r, there are
many things Mr. Jadwin has • done in. the
interest of men whose wants he has faith
fully served in matters of more importance
to them than the, question of whether Mr.
Van Gilder shOuld be postmaster at Leßays
ville,- and they will remember him with
gratitude for his, faithful services in their
behalf. Ask the soldiers applying for pen

MOILS.
The passage of the River and Har
bor appropriation bill over the Presi
dent's veto is receivingalnaost universal
condemnation by the press and pesiple
of the country: There are several mem
bers of Congress who are likely to be
left at home for their vote on this bill.
It is, with the exception of the appro
priations for important channels of
commerce, and for established and nec
essary harbors, a bundle of corrupt
jobs. As a whole it is one of the worst
pieces of legislation ever put through
CongresS, equaled only hy the salary=
grab and the Credit-mobilier: scheme of
Oakes Ames, Brooks & co. is, how
ever, in no sense st . political or party
question. Itt . combination of votes
that carried the bill over, the veto was
secured by the wide distribution of
small appropriations for Imere local in
terests, serving: no purpose for the
general good.
Those members who voted to sustain
the veto, deserve to be returned toCon
cress by a grateful constituency. '
The popular branch• of the Forty
eighth Congress, to be elected in Nov- -
ember, will be charged with the re
sponsible_ Way of the revision of the
tariff laws in pursuance ;of the report
of the tariff-commission now investi
gating the subject of tariff duties in its
bearing's in !elation to 'all the varied
material interests of the country. The
Senate will unquestionably have a Re.
publican majority after the 4th of
March. next. I
The Democratic party, which is coin
-
mated to the ?al l ey of a "tariff for rev
enue only," cannot be trusted and relied
upon to so legislate es to protect - our .
material_ American industries. It is
therefore of the most vital importance
that ihe Bepub'icans at the . November
election should secure' and maintain a
good working majority' in the House.
To this end the party should take good
care that we return an equal, ant if
possible a greater number of Aepubli
cans from:Pennsylvania to the next
Congress as there are in the foxesent.

tion, i.e., the proper investigation of the
right of members fraudulently returned
by the Bourbon Democracy - of the
South to scats in , thk House. In the
43d and 44th Congres s the Democrats
maintained a Majority by seating mem

As aliample of Bourbon Democratic
I, t
corruptinn of elections is the fact of the
use of the tissue ballot.- This method
of cheating was devised and originated
to cheat the neirr, oes out of their votes.
The tissue.ballot is on-thin, tissue paper,
cut an half inch or so narrower than
the regular ballot. A Democrat folds
several of: theseinside of the regular
ballot - so as that they are ob s cured from
sight and made to appear as but one
vote, and are so cast.. When the polls
are closed and the Counting is proceeded
with, a sufficient number of Republican
votes are thrown out to, reduce the
whole number of Votes to the number
contained on the polling list. In this
way almost the entire Republican voters
of a district are disfranchised, and the
candidate duly elected is defrauded of
hts election, and his fraudulently elected
competitor returned in his stead. This
is the Bourbon Democratic method Of.
maintaining political ascendancy through
the ineans,pf a "kree ballot and a fair
and honest. count." In Virginia, North
Carolina and. Terinessee,l therd are evi-
, dences of' disruption and disintegration
of Bourbon Pemocracy, and a fair pros
pect of the overthrow of Bourbon rule.

WESTERN LETTER.
Enrroa REPUBLICAN :—gecently I wrote
to you of the dames for farmers in Dacc
tah, Minnesota and Manitoba, and prondied
to give you a statement as to the difficulties
to be encountered oven in this Paradise of
prairie lands. Any one supposing that it is
a life without hardship and sacrifices and
earnest work, had better remain east, where
he finds farmers obtaining a good rettuti for
firming without much hard labor—if he has
had that experience—which I have; never
found. Indeed in all the eastern stateii,.it
requires a good share of toil, of foiethought
! HI
and afterthought, to obtain a iidOlihood for
a somewhat idle family, even if tie head of
.
the family hashed a_ good farm given to
him free, all the necosary Outbuidings .
damplete!, together with a fair_ td*ini of live
emit, farm 'ottani& and agricalthral
moats In fact,' have known such owiers
,tumble to "make it pay," or &C hest =save
any money. They were not. On of Inca
pacity, though they were not very energetic
drivers. But fthitik aOw that it
is very hard for . any eastern farmer to com
pete with western soil and the 'machinery
tulaptell-to *irk) lands. • The l(armers of
EnroPe find.themsilves in the sc#lie ember-
rassed co i tion. The only recourse for
eastern farmers is to cultivate clmiCe fink,
raise vegetableit fuel plant. forests.. Sheep,
poul•xyl hogs, *tie and - hories :can be
raised east, And at a fair profit. Now who
shoal "go west"!ACM dmg'

Ottlely it Must be "young men." lam sure

advantage, protriditig they Wish to make
life one. of earnestness 'and rift. I am
writing only of women hi hualth,ef any agei4
or girls willing to work at any oncn-
pation. In allthe ; northwest lithere is a
scarcity of
cooks, as washers end . ironers,ll as sewing
women i as dreas-makare, teaclu#is of every
kind. I knomi many farmers o, employing
large numbers of European, w/omen and
girls in hanrest time as i bindeni and even
reapers; and aids in the field. Butter, milk
'and cheese are whigly cared for 6 fenialos,

raise almOst all. the vitables"Pf l gardens
and peddle them when eg4 i near ISrge towns
and 'Cities; and .I know of cases where farms
Ist* cultivated by women, mid as Well done
as men . do it: Women requite lesscmoney
to begin west ti= menlo, 'for women can
go directly to work at so many well-paying
labors. 'But a: farmer obtaining say 160
Acres of land bYllcunestead Itiw in Dacotah,
pairs at the most only $lB.OO. Wo will
siiPposo he selects , his land in April or even
March, or in the fall. Ho will require at
least two months and a half to turn over
the sod of the entire farm. A man can" do
it with a pair , o( strong mules, but two
pairs are generally used if deep sod is turned.
In three or four months the same sod has to
be "back set," and at the same time a deep
er soil throWn over it; that' requires, two
montlM and a half. Then fall has arrived,
and the farmeY can do nothing unless , ho
has an extra 160 acres froM which he lms
cut prairie "fodder" for feeding any stock
ho may have. Horses, mules, 'cattle, and
sheep all thrive well on this prairie hay;l
but they requiro' hay from fall!, of Snow to'
spring--say five months. .li.riy one ,ean
estimate the cost of all this outlay. It pays,
well to always have good stack tr.! sell, and'
to do its an old New England • farmer once
told nip, I try . to arrange it Soithat I iierer
have any stock or hay to bayj but always
some.to sell. .
In the spring as soon as the frost has dis
appeaYed from three to 'fear, inch e s down,
the lu'rtyrow .is dragged over the soil and
wheat is sown, which in August following,
if no ill. luck comes, will yield from twenty
to thirty bushels per aer i e. In the fall
months, or winter, the wheat is *marketed,
and brings from 80 coats to, '61.30, as the
demand may be. This is the first money
return seen by the farmers--nearly twenty
months after ho has taken hold of the land.
In the 'meantime he has WI build him a
"shanty" onboard house, or ,eliedo as the
Norwegians do, build a turf.bhuse i or dig a
hole in the slope of a knoll,"(therit are no
hills), and live worse than thn• Indituas,
whose wigwams *wide of oley, are coverek
with hidt.4l of animals--who live abovvf
ground. If a man has Come I,vith his wife
and perhaps a babe or . some Children, they
all will have a hard time of In fact un
til a man has built a cabin of Some kind, ho
better bring a tent and cook.fir, himself and
live •on hard tack, pork ,and beans andl
canned food, of which latter no man can'
speali in too much praise—as it is ceirqmcti
and not very dear, and is better cooked than
four-fifths; and I think diciest five-fifths, of
our ‘,`help" can cook. 1 • •
Now, how can a man start with no money
He Must have health, knowledge of farm
ing, of care of stock,- and h i e - industrious.
Of course he must have money to journey
to Dicotah, or anywhere. It j he arrive in
the early' spring, he can "hire out" at 25 or
30 dollars per month to soma farmer, near
any 160 acres of land, he may desire, ;and
has '`entered" .
.and paid eighiclen dollars for.
Ho can put up a board shanty; when his em
ployer can spare him a day e' more, he can
obtain his employer's team and plough a day
on his own land; and thus daring the
least
fiftycan plough and "backiset" say atl least
fifty acres; and in the following year ho can
•
sow
,wheat, and in eighteey months he can
get .400 or 500 bushels afedwheat to
That's the way to do it. Ili the mean time
he can earn at least • 'two-Or !three hundred
dollars by his labor as a "hired man." Ho
should buy some stock as soon as he by any
possible means can pay for for live stock,
