Several republican papers are quite se
verely criticising the action of the State
Committee in calling an early convention,
and we confess that we were inclined to
think a later date would have been better,
until the Philadelphia Times and other
democratic sheets began io growl about
it, and then we came to the conclusion
tiuit there must be wisdom in the action
of the commiitce. We have no patience
with the fault-finding caiping spirit in
the republican party, which is ever seek
ing for occasion to find fault with and im
pute dishonorable motives to our leaders.
With such men as Gen. Cameron, Grow,
Hartranft, Quay, Beaver, and hosts of
other patriotic men, as active leaders,
there should be no firing in the rear. By
following such advice auid leadership iu
the past, the republican organization has
been kept in better trim and has won
more substantial victories than any other
state in the Union. Such men have the
interests of the party at heart, and would
sincerely deprecate any action which
might imperil success, as much as any
others could.
In a temperate and well-eonsiderd arti
cle in condemnation of the "counting
out" fraud in Maine, the Richmond
State remarks that if the Virginia Can
vassing Board had taken advantage of all
the trifling mistakes and omissions which
occurred in the returns of the late elec
tion, it would have been an easy matter
to count out enough of the "lleadjlisters"
to give the "Funders" a majority in the
Legislature. "But they never once
thought of perpetrating a crime of this
enormity." The officers who compose
the board knew that their own places
were at stake, and, in point of fact, they
have all, with one exception, been relegat
ed to private life by the new Legislature,but
they knew that public sentiment would
not tolerate any qibbling over trilling
technicalities, and they accordingly gave
certificates to those persons who were
really elected. At the next election in
Virginia the returns will be canvassed by
a board composed of officers elected by
the "Readjusters," and the thoughtful
Virginia Democrats are unwilling that
their bretheren in Maine should set a pre
cedent, which might he availed of when
the next contest takes place between the
"Readjusters" and "Funders."
NATIVK SUGAR. —The farmers' con
vention at Willimatic a few days since
was fortunate in being able to listen to
Professor Collier, the eminent chemist of
the Agricultural Department, who gave
the result of his thorough series of experi
ments in the matter of producing sugar
from sorghum or corn-stalks. Professor
Collier is not a visionary theorist, but a
man whose scientific attainments are
backed by hard common sense. He is
familiar with the whole history of the
sorghum experiments of the past, which
failed chiefly because of lack of scientific
information as to the proper time for
cutting the cane. He has faith to believe
that in a very few years the success which
he has demonstrated as possible, will be
a solid reality, and that this country will
be exporting as much sugar as it now im
ports, the trifling amount of $100,000,000
annually. The subject is one which can
not fail to receive the attention of farmers
everywhere.
