Sept 30 dtf OUR CUSTOM DEPARTMENT EVENING EDITION. BiiantiTox, 3IONDAY, OCTOBER 6, 1879. The Democratic gubernatorial nomination in Massachusetts seems to go begging. Judge Abbott, the long time and oft-defeated candidate for party honors, declines the use of his name, and his example has just been followed by Charles P. Thompson the man who became famous by beating Butler for Congress and who could probably poll more votes than any candidate now likely to be nominated.

Washington advices say that Prof. Collier, chemist of the Agricultural Bureau, is continuing his experiments with corn-stalks and sorghum for the purpose of determining whether they can be used profitably in the production of sugar: and that he is satisfied that enough sugar could be made by American farmers to lessen very much the demand for foreign sugar. lie thinks the sugar obtained is a clear gain above the expense of cutting, pressing and boiling, for the corn is plucked before the stalks are used and the crushed stalks make good fodder after passing through the mill. The Folly of Political "Scratching" Harper's Wetkly, while expressing astrong desire for the success of the Republican ticket in New York, especially on account of the important influence it will have on the next National campaign, advises the in dependent Republican voters to "scratch" Mr. Cornell from the ticket, aa the only way of effectively protesting against his nomination.

This seems to us very poor advice. It was all wrong, as we think, and have said, for Mr. Conkling to force his friend and follower Cornell upon the Re publican party of New York, in order to gratify Mr. Conkling's resentments. But to fight the party by knifing its nominee, is equally wrong.

If it was an outrage for Mr. Conkling to injure the great cause to which lie professes to be devoted, by action dictated by his personal piques and desires, it is outrageous folly to imperil the same great cause in order to admister a rebuke to Mr. Conk ling. It is a time in wliich patriots should discard these personal controversies and make common cause for the public welfare. If Mr.

Robinson is elected, though the rest of the Democratic ticket is defeat ed, it will give to the Democrats the moral effect and many of the substantial results of a victory in the Empire State. The vete ran Thurlow Weed, in a letter to the New York Tribune, gives his views of the case; and as usual there is sound sense in it. lie says: The reasons given to excuse this advice are, in my judgment, utterly insufficient and indefensible. Like Mr. Curtis, and, it is believed, like a majority of the Republicans of the State, I was opposed, not only to the nomination of Mr.

Cornell, but to the objectionable methods by which his nomination was effected. Yet, while I was disappointed in the surrender of ex-Speaker Sloan and other prominent delegates, from whom better things were expected, I failed to discover a reason for withholding my vote from Mr. Cornell, against whose capacity and character nothing is alleged. It is true that personal rather than public considerations swayed the convention. Mr.

Cornell was nominated by the enforcement of Senator Conkling, whose reiterated exactions upon his party are becoming onerous and irksome. Even that distinguished Senator's efforts in favor of Mr. Cornell's nomination for Governor would have been impotent but for other causes. Mr. Curtis, of all other men, should not be surprised at Mr.

Cornell's nomi nation, for he himself is remotely, while President Hayes is directly, responsible for that result. Mr. Cornell, under an absurd and impracticable scheme of "civil service reform'' invented by Mr. Curtis, was removed from the naval office. For that removal there was no other cause or reason than that Mr.

Cornell performed his duty as chairman of the State Republican committee. It was not claimed or pretended that he neglected any official duty. Had Mr. Cornell been left to the acceptable discharge of his duties as naval officer he would have been in nobody's way as a candidate for Governor. All the strength he had aside from Senator Conkling's support, was derived from the fact of his having leen the victim of an exploded political theory.

Crowns are reserved alike for martyrs in politics and in religion. Mr. Cornell is indebted for his nomination and election (for that, also, is assured) to the infatuated adherents to an impracticable idea. The duty of an elector concerns his party, and, a3 a corollary, his country. That duty can only be discharged by voting for the representatives of the party.

The duty was never more imperative, for the danger of our country in permitting its Government to fall into the hands of rebel and copperhead Democracy was never greater. Unless, therefore, there is some name on the ticket obnoxious to jut criticism, there should be no scratching. And, it should be remembered, in electing a Republican Governor we kill two birds with one stone. The hopes of the reformer of Cipher park depend upon the re-election of Gov. Robinson, for desiring whose defeat I have two reasons: first, that it squelches Mr.

Tilden's presidential candidacy and next that it inflicts retributive justice upon the man who, elected controller by Republicans, deserted to the enemy before his term of service expired. PERSONAL AITS POLITICAL. There is a 'gossipy rumor at Washington that President Haj-es intends, as a matter of courtesy, to tender the British Mission to General Grant. There is no expectation that the General will accept. The Ohio Democrats have called for aid, and Tilden has rolled them 'a barrel of money," and "Yellow Fever" Blackburn of Kentucky, is to stump the State for Ewing.

Prof. Langston, colored minister to Hayti, who is in Washington, takes ground on the exodus question in opposition to Fred Douglass. Prof. Langston favors the exodus, and believes it would be a benefit both to the colored race and to the poorer classes of the South, especially as it would teach the latter the necessity of intelligent industry. Mr.

Tilden is quoted as saying lately that the Southern Democracy have injured Democratic success in the North. The Southern wing of the party has seriously handicapped the Northern wing, especially by the repudiation of State indebtedness and by political assassinations, for which no one is punished. These things, Mr. Tilden thinks, will make the Democratic Presidential nominee little better than the leader of a forlorn hope. As to New York, however, Tilden is doing hi9 best to elect Robinson, and is using a great deal of his own money to that end.

lie is determined to destroy Kelly and Tammany. I forget President Hayes's "Civil Service by the ttaliant Gideon last inter at Bur lington, carries with him in his round, a list of the young ladies whose social rank is such as to make them eligible to an invitation.and the young man solicited is compelled to make his "scratch" against the name of the young lady of his choice. Thus, when one hears a young man remark, "I scratched Miss Daisy it must not be inferred that there has been an encounter with feline weapons, but only that he has paid Miss the compliment of an invitation to the hop.

He imagines a conspiracy to defraud him of his father's estate. A cyclone accompanied by heavy rain passed over the county fair grounds at Ma-tronsville, Friday, doing great damage. Fences were blown down, and one tent, where the tables were set for 100 per-sous, was blown down, overturning the stove and a large reservoir of boiling water, severely scalding six ladies, one of them, with an infant a few months old, probably fatally.

Great damage was done to the exhibits. Sidney Dillon, president of the Union Pacific Railroad, on the announcement of the Ihornburg defeat, telegraphed General Sheridan as follows: "Orders for special trains to carry soldiers to and from any point on the Union Pacific road have been given. Communicate with Superintendent Clark at Omaha. The resources of the road are at the service of the Government for the protection of settlers." Sheridan responded, warmly thanking Dillon. From the establishment of the Postal Savings Banks of Great Britain to De cember 31, 1878, the deposits foot up $555,000,000.

The amounts drawn out sum up $403,000,000, leaving a balance on hand or and interest due depositors. During the years 1877-78 the deposits amounted to $185,000,000, of which were drawn out again. Apart from the regular newspaper despatches the government forwarded within the year telegrams, being 317,517 more than were torwarded last year. Near Glassford, 111., the other day, an en gine going 40 miles an hour struck a cow on the track, was thrown from the rails, and ran several rods on the ground, uprooting a stump in its mad career, and kept on its wheels until it came to a standstill, clear of the track.

The official vote of Maine from all but a few small towns, which will not vary the result, gives Davis, Republican, Smith, Greenback, 47,050 Garcelon, Democrat, 21,181, and 311 scatterinff. The vote is the largest ever polled in the State, being nearly 1.000 more than the vote for Governor in 1876, which was the fullest vote ever cast prior to that time.

While Mr. Davis. the Republican candidate, has a plurality of 20,920, he lacks 572 of a majority of the whole vote, and the election is thus transferred to the Legislature but as the Republicans have thirty majority in the House and seven in the Senate, the success of the Republican candidates for State offices is as sured.

Ex-Collector Simmons said at a club din ner the other day that he had stepped out of his party "for this occasion only and that he expected to be working in the Republican ranks again next year. His case reminds us of the church member who got tipsy, and in that condition was met by his pastor. Being sternly rebuked for his conduct he excused himself in this wise: "You know, parson, that for more than twenty years I've served the Lord faithfully and well, and so I thought I might as well take a day.

Xewton Journal. President Hates and his party arrived in Hannibal, at 10 p. m. the other evening and were rudely assailed by a crowd of roughs with jeers and abusive shouts. The President appeared on the platform of the car, but, upon observing the character of the crowd retired.

Gen. Sherman then appear ed, and, being called on for a speech, said "Boys, I am Gen. Sherman. My home is in St. Louis, and I expect to live and die in your State.

This a glorious State, rich in everything that goes to make communities prosperous and hannv, but 1 tell you that, as sure as there is a God in heaven, the day will come, and ere long too, when Missouri will be peopled by ladies and gentlemen, who will not insult the President of the United States when he comes within your borders. Cries of "good, good; right, right. I know your State, and have travelled across it in every conceivable direction. and I tell you that jour children will be the richest in these United States. Cries of "Hayes, Hayes we want to see Hayes." The President came out to see you, and he will hardly care to come again after the treatment he received.

You must not insult the President of the United States and you must not insnlt me, for, if you do, so help me God, 1 11 fight. Cries of lou bet we know you 11 fight. If you will prom ise to be respectful I will see the President and I think he will come out to see you again. Cries of "Ihree cheers for Gen. Sherman." Never mind, boys, cheering for me; lust treat the President respecttuiiy when he comes out and you'll please me best." And the President came out, was cheered, and made a speech.

The method which has been employed in South Carolina of closing a postoftlce by shooting the postmaster in the back ought not to be successful. It is asserted that the postmaster was shot be cause he is a Republican but, whether this asser tion is true or not, it is not the most important tea-ture of the affair. The main point is that the United States Government cannot afford to have its business operations interfered with or stopped by vio lence. A. 1 J'ozt.

This is all very well, if the federal govern ment has the power to enforce its authority. But suppose it has not. Suppose the "local authorities refuse to take notice" of the murderous outrage suppose public senti ment is so depraved that no punishment can be brought upon the offenders suppose that if the federal authorities interfere, the State courts release the criminal on a writ of habeas corpus, and imprison the officers who have arrested him suppose the use of the army be forbidden by Congress, for the execution of the law; what then? Shall the federal government go on appointing post masters to be shot till it is driven to the selection of a man who will respond to the local public opinion, by refusing to deliver Republican newspapers, and by exposing the correspondence between Republicans to the examination of Democrats Providence Journal. Letter from Iowa. POLITICS AND GOSSIP.

Des Moines, Iowa, Sept. 24, 1879 To the Editor of the Free Press and Times: Iowa, like Vermont, is a Republican strong hold, yet the political strife is much warmer here than in Vermont. This perhaps in part is due to the greater spirit of rivalry and competition characteristic of the West and also to there being three parties. The Green- backers obtained a foothold here two years ago. Yet that foothold, obtained by fallacious reasoning and wild promises made to the farmers during the hard times, is fast becoming a slippery one.

Cheered by the abundant crops and general increase of busi ness the farmer begins to see through the specious reasoning of the Greenback candi dates. Yet the G. still have their party ergans and the few office holders made such by the Greenback element are making a hard fight to retain their hold. Your cor respondent attended a Greenback rally a few weeks ago, and now understands how the wild fiat money notions obtain credence. The meeting was addressed by Gen.

Weaver. Greenback member of Congress. It was in Indianola, the county seat of a farming region, and the audience was wholly of farmers. They were, how ever, not much like the well-to-do, intelligent farmers of Vermont but men comparatively ignorant, foreigners, many of whom with mortgages on their farms were ready to catch at any straw which promises them an easy release from their debts men who spend the best days of each week in town discussing political issues and bewailing the hard times. Upon such an audience it was easy for the fluent Congressman with his plausible reasoning to make an impression-Seeming to deal with questions which immediately concerned them, he told them that they paid the price of two hogs for that which once they bought with one, for which the Administration was to blame, and with catching phrases and sneering jokes against the Republican party he worked upon the feelings of his ignorant and ready-to-be convinced hearers, until their excitement let itself out in demoniac yells.

At a Democratic rally, addressed by Captain Yeomans in this city, the remarks which called forth the most applause were words condemnatory of President Lincoln's "emancipation proclamation." The impression which your correspondent received of Iowa politics might have been very unfavorable had he not also attended a Republican meeting addressed by Gen. John Logan, where an immense audience of intelligent hearers made it plain that sound talk was relished by a large majority, and led me to think that the veryrankuess of the opposition swelled the ranks of the stalwarts. SOCIAL CUSTOMS, ETC. Notw ithstanding the political agitation and rush of business for business has received a wonderful impetus here the people of this fair, beautiful capital city of Iowa, still find time for social festivities. Last week, the season was pencil by a grand hop at the Academy of Music.

The general appearance and dress of those in attendance was much as it would be at a like gathering in Burling.
