How the People Feel.

The rejoicing oyer the result of the October elections is by no means confined to the politicians and office-holders who are directly interested therein. There ra~a wide, fervent and profound feeling of thankfulness pervading every portion of the community, and shared by the representatives of every business and industrial pursuit. The apprehension of a different result has caused a feeling of anxiety never before witnessed in a doubtful Presidential contest. The truth is, that while the intentions and aspirations of Mr. Greeley are admitted on all hands to be good, there is a universal lack of confidence in his judgment, and an undefined fear lest the commitment to his hands of the vast trusts involved in the Presidency of the United States, would, before the close of his term, by reason of Ms lack of judgment, his rash precipitancy, his hasty espousal of new doctrines, and his reckless advocacy of untried experiments,, precipitate the country into difficulty and danger, and produce disasters which, while they are npjv unforeseen, might, in the process of foreign negotiation, or the occurrence of domestic differences, be developed in the twinkling of an eye. In particular is this feeling common to the business and financial classes of the community. Mr. Greeley’s crotchets upon finance” are as numerous as they are fallacious, and his occasion for putting them into practice would be as unfortunate as liis theories are dangerous. His time 1o resume specie payments would-be likely to be chosen when greenbacks are scarce, and the market for money close, because there would then be j fewer greenbacks to redeem, and there is 'not the slightest doubt that were Mr. Greeley President at this particular juncture, when the stringency in the money market occasions a wide-spread anxiety and apprehension, he would be as likely as at any time to issue a proclamation setting forth that “the way to resume is to resume,” and announcing that the business of the country would henceforth be conducted on a specie basis. That such a measure at present resolved upon would produce a financial crash in twenty-four hours, every man of experience understands. But Mr. Greeley is not content with desiring. to put the country upon a specie basis in a day. He desires that the present generation shall pay the national debt. His well remembered demand that the cost -of the war shotiTd be levied upon the country and paid Within ten years, is but another of the impossible accomplishments which his whfflle life has byen employed in advocating':' and the financial interests of the country would behold his elevation to the Presidency with a settled conviction that danger and difficulty ■ would attend his administration, and that unforeseen calamity might at any time occur as the result of his reckless "as well as obstinate financial crotchets.

.Mor is this teeling confined to the financial classes. The whole people have been intensified with ill-concealed regret and chagrin that there exists among them a man of the prominence of Mr. Greeley, and particularly occupying his responsible position, who could be guilty of announcing that he still indulges the conviction that secession is in itself right, and that whenever the people of a'section decide by ballot that they desire to leave the Union, “he for one would be in favor of conceding that right." The people of this country spilt oceans of blood and expended mines of treasure to settle the oppositeprinciple, and it would indeed be a miracle if the annunciation of this old and detested doctrine by a man who was on the direct road to the power to put that doctrine in practice, should not cause a feeling of profound distrust and alarm, and occasion/a deep anxiety for a result in October/ which would preclude the possibility of clanger to the Union in November. Happily that result,has been achieved. Hence it is that the people everywhere breathe easier, and enjoy a feeling of security which they have not recently felt; and hence it .is that the rejoicing of the politicians is shared by every thinking map in the Union who has a deep and abiding concern for the future interests and welfare of his country. —Chicago Pont.

Ex-secretary Seward.

A The following letter was addressed by Hon. William H. Seward to R. P. Johnson, Esq., of Sap Francisco. In it he places himself on the record as in favor of the Republican party and the present Administration: ■ Auburn. September 17, 1672. Mr Dear Mr. Johnson: Although I have occasion to write much, I lam obliged now to use another’s hand. You will not be surprised, therefore, to find me an irregular correspondent. At the moment when the country was called to Confront the last civil war, a consequence of its adoption of the policy of restricting Slavery, I was required to take upon myself a. part in the executive administration. I knew then very Well that Liberty, Constitution and Union were inseparable, and that a failure of the Administration to save them would consign all concerned in it to eternal infamy. 1 thought, on the other hand, that my own part, however bumble, ip the rescue ought to be enough to crowri'a loyal juahltion. 1 knew moreover that I could not perform that very difficult part successfully without mah- . leg a sacrifice of all personal and party prejudices and aspirations for after-life. I therefore cheerfully and opanly pledged myself to that sacrifice. I thus secured a retirement from political life at the end of -th? struggle, which has be> come pleasant to me. If any'of my fgllowcitlMns think lam not entitled to enjoy it,

Now, however, not less than at any former time, do I think it the duty of every citizen to leave no uncertainty to exist concerning the principles and policy which govern his vote. I have seen no sufficient reason to withdraw mine from the support of the principles and policy which carried the country safely through the civil conflict, or from the party organization and candidates who represent them. This must he my short reply to your long and much-esteemed letter. Very sincerely

Hon. Thomas Ewing, Jr., Explains Away the Liberal Charges Against Speaker Blaine.

Columbus, Omo, October 10. The " Ohio State Journal , to-morrow morning, will publish a correspondence between Hon. .Tames G.' Blaine and ITon. Thomas Ewing, Jr., in regard'to the charges recently made by the New York Tribune in reference to thdtel Irgw! contract made with Speaker .i®be by General Ewing and Colonel HpStone for nearly $2,000,000 of stock ip the Leavenworth, Pawnee & Western Railroad Company-, afterward merged into the Union Pacific, Eastern Diviron. The Tribunecharge -was that this -stock had. been received by Mr. Blaine in payment for the services of himself and other members of Congress in procuring the passage of the original Pacific liaiiroad act of 1802, and. that it had been paid in pursuance of a contract made in 1862 by Colonel Stone and General Ewing. General Ewing’s letter is very full and explicit on the whole subject. The most important portion of the letter is as follows: —“So far us the charges impute to you personal corruption in office, it is conclusively disproved by public records, accessible to all, which show that you did not enter Congress, for nearly a year and a half after the law referred t'o was passed. And as to the other-branch-of the charge, my general knowledge of the business of the company, and especially my intimacy with you, make it certain that you could not/have liad any contract with the company r ( ithout my. knowing the fact, and I unties 5 ’ tingly declare thafryou were notin any firmer, or at any time, directly or Indirrf employed by the company, or in any\ se ‘ interested in it or its affairs as stookhoUiv or otherwise in any capacity whatever. Wour brother, J. E. Blaitie, at that time Clerk of the District Court at Leavenworth, and one of the early settlers of Kansas, was the owner of SIO,OOO of the stock of the Leavenworth, Pawnee A Western Kailroad Company, which, indeed, was held very generally - among the influential men of all parties along'the line of the road in Kansas. But that was in 1861 or 1802, and a considerable period before you were even nominated for your first term in Congress. - Beyond that theye never was at any time tire remotest interest in the company held by any member of your family. The entry of sl,920,000 of stock opposite the name of Blaine was therefore wholly a fiction or a blonder, and the grave imputations on your character, and on that of the officers and agents of the company are utterly ’groundless, and without a shadow of justification. lam inform ed that General Stone is now in Europe. He will doubtless take occasion when he learns of these charges to speak for himself about them. So far as my knowledge of the affairs of the company goes, I deliberately assert that it never by any of its officers, agents, or attorneys, made any contract the procreeds Of "which there was rbason to believe were to be in any manner participated by any member of Congress or other public officer.” “ Very truly yours, Thomas Ewing.”

Address to the Republicans Of Indiana.

Colonel J. W. Foster, the Chairman" of the State Central Committee, has issued tlig following -address to the people of Indiana: To the Republicans of Indiana: After a hard and well-fought contest, I congratulate you on the substantial victory which you have achieved. Never in the history of the State, or, perhaps, of the nation, has there been such a tierce and unequal war fare made against a successful party. We entered upon the campaign against the united Democracy, flushed with the success of 1870, and strengthened by a considerable dissatisfaction--ia our oau ranks, which i seemed to take from us even the chance of success. But, confident of the justice of our cause, and animated by our 1 riuinph* in the ! past, we entered upon the canvass with the - determination to wrest victory from our opponents if it could be accomplished by hard work, thorough. Organization, and devotion to the glorious principles of our party. We* present, as the substantial fruits of our victory, a Legislature Republican in both branches "by a decided majority, which gives assurance of our party control of the State and the return of O. P. Morton to the Senate of the I'nited Sttfths; the election of our Congress-meij-at'-LargC—tine true index of party strength, and the: proof that Indiana is undoubtedly Republican: a gain of two District Congressmen, and the election of the greater portion of our State ticket, That our victory is not entirely complete is owing to the'personal slanders and frauds Of our opponents. 1 desire to thank the chairmen of our County Committees and, through them, the earnest and faithful workers w hose time, energy and devotion to the party Organisation have secured oiir triumph, for their tong and faithful service. It is especially deserved that we should publirdyraeognizi- the gallant canvass which Thomas JI. Browne has ihade, and assure him that though he may be deprived of hjs office by rrfaliguffy and dishonesty, he-lfas the confidence and support of a majority of the legal voters of the State. The fierceness of the battle is over, but .we nave" one Spore assault to make Upon our-op-poneots. We must make the victory cetfi-" plete by giving the Eteetoralxpte of Indiana to Grant and Wilson by jority. Let me urge upon bur County Committees and the Republicans of Indiana, to preserve and perfect their -organization,-ia-order to achieve this last, and crowning' ] t-riumpli. Let it be the aim of the LqmniitItces wliicljmafie a good record on Tuesday last to improve on it ip November, add lei thceounties which under adverse circum- * starces lost ground gain it.

Speech by Senator Morton at Indianapolis.

Indianapolis, Ind., October 11. The Republican meeting at the Wigwam, to-night, for congratulation, was addressed by General l Browne, Senator Mohon, Hon. J. W. Gordon, and Hon. Jason B. Brown. The following is a brief extract from Senator Morton’s speech: All have conceded that if the Republican party carried Pennsylvania, Ohio, and Indiana, in October, the Presidential question was settled In favor of General Grant. If, on the other hand, those three States, or two of them, were carried by the Democrats In October, iftflU left the Presidential question open hecause many Democrats train,the first have declared that they would not vote for Horace Greeley under any circumstances. After a campaign in which the Democrats have worked with desperation, and personal defamation an<f calumny have been>unwonted in malignity, especially in Pennsylvania and Indiana, Pennsylvania has been carried by 80.000, and will give over 50,000 for Grant. Ohio has bedn carried by over 15,000, and will give more than twice that many in November. We carried Indiana in 1868 by only 961, though the real honest majority was not less than 5.000, and General-Grant carried the State by nearly 10,000 the next month. In 1870. the election almost went by default, and we were beaten about 2,500. We entered thiS race with that majority against us. Mr. Hendricks started out with the assurance that he would receive 10,000 majority, Half a dozen meu who lef t the Republican party announced-That, triey would lead over from the Democracy". The campaign has been bitter. Tlie assaults on General Browne have been peculiarly malignant. The result is that General Browne seems, as the figures are reported, -to be" defeated by a few hundred, while the Republicans have elected the Lieutenant-Governor, Secretary of Stale, Auditor, Treasurer, and Ofdicr State officers, Congressmen-at-LArge, ten cr eleven in all out of thirteen Congressmen, and a majority in both Houses of the Legislature. I .predict that when the official count is made, it will turn out that the State officers I have named have received a larger vote than Mr. Hendricks, and that, if elected, he has been .elected by a minority. Indiana is Republican. Mr. Voorliees’ defeat is lull of significance. Elected two years ago by about 1,400 majority, and personally very popular, lie has just been defeated by about 900 majority. He had in Congress arid at home spoken his nonest sentiments last summer, wlien he saidno honest Democrat could vote for Greeley with any self-respect, and tire Democracy then responded to !t. His sudden reversal of position,mud gross flattery of Mr. Greeley when here, have been rebuked by llis disgusted constituents." Mr. NibtEck, too, who before had 2,250 majority,- has now,it is said, but 125, and it is even reported that-Mr. Holman, the Republican-candidate, may be elected, bo General Malison, at Lafayette, has been defeated," and the Legislature elected two years ago, the like of which we hope never to.gee again, is now succeeded in both, , branches by a Republican majority. It is a substantial victory, full of -restrlts. —fir November we shall give General Grant not less than 10,000, and probably 20,000 majority*. The unprincipled mercenary coalition has been dissolved. lam not sure but the Democracy would have been stronger without the.coali.tion. The Greeley delusion has passed away like a noxious vapor. Many of tlieir papers have given up the contest. The Germans in Indiana have vindicated their intelligence and independence. No man owns them. No politician carries them in his- vest pocket. From -the.first I. have--be- . lived they could not be seduced from the Republican party and, its principles, X believe that, taking it altogether, vre received as many German votes on Tuesday last as at any preceding election..

Wheat-Growing.

Many farmers at the West are discouraged in attempting to make wheat-grow-ing as profitable as other grain crops, and have abandoned this branch of husbandry. The reason of this discouragement arises chiefly from the failure to : grow wheat with the indifferent Management practised,when the country was comparatively new and the soil iii its primitive State. We.have raised this grain with heavy yield by simply harrowing the seed into the surface soil (without ploughing at all) among the stumps on newly cleared land, and have also raised heavy crops upon old worn land during the past few years, but the difference in management was very dissimilar. Those who. get good crops of wheat upon old laud have got to labor for it, hut the improved facilities for harvesting and the increased value of the grain make the crop, with right treatment, as profitable to-day as it ever has been. In the first place, soil rightly adapted as to position and condition must ;be selected; second, use good seed; third, well put in ; and fourth, thoroughly drained. The lay of land is very important; it is best where lyingfhigh, and shielded on tlie north or west side by woods; if on *both of these sides, all the better, as the forest gives winter protection in preventing snow' from being blown off and drifted up. The field also should be so situated that complete surface drainage may be given, fdr whefever a pool of water is allowed- to stand for a few days, there will be a bare spot at harvest time. More fields oi wheat are injured by

frost than by insect, and to contend with this element successfully ex-tra care should be exercised. ~1l is a well-estab-lished fact thlt when this grain is-put in with the drill, it stands the winter much better than when sown broadcast . It has further been proved that when mulched in earty wmterwith a sprinkling of straw the roots are protected to a great extent, not from the light costing of straw alone, but this coating retains the snow, and during many trying days blankets the field and securely shields it. i - - As to manure for wheat we have never found any so good as that from the sheep shed; this we put on the surface before harrowing in the grain. A piece of land once came into our possession that had been under the plow for twenty years and was considered almost worthless. This was plowed up in the fall about seven inches deep, and Being heavy clay, the work required fourhorses; it lay in large lumps during the winter, but through the action of the frost, the most of t|icm? 1 ar.ked do wn in the spring, when a good coat of manure was put upon it and turned under. During the summer we gave it one or two good workings with the cultivator, and in August threw it up 'with ridges with a singlehorse plow, and about, the 20th of September gave a sprinkling of sheep manure and sowed one bushel and a peck-of red wheat per acre. From the piece we harvested thir-ty-two bushels per acre of clean, plump wheat. The piece was then stocked Mown and has since produced heavy crops of grass. ’*~*‘~*— —

Mr. R. A. Hunt, of Euclid, Ohio, tells us. that he has made some experiments in the use of plaster and ashes upon wheat land, and has had the best success in the use ofthese fertilizers. Mr. Hunt, on the 25th day of September last, sowed some wheat on corn land; and cultivated the same ft: without plowing,, and *n every other plow-land of this piece he put unleached ashes at the rate of thirty-five bushels per acre, and the wheat upon these lands ripened three days earlier than that upon the others,- and gave a yield of one-third more grain. Now«this 'tvaS'afairtest; the field was ifot divided in the center, one-half coat fed ; “with-rthe ashes and the other not,/bat alternate plow-lands taken. grain came on earlier in the spring “Where the application, of ashes was made, kept ahead through the season, "and so distinctlymarked was the difference in growth that .it was noticed by casual-observers.. ~ In the fall of 1869, Mr. Hunt, after sowing a field of wheat on com ground and cultivating the same in, applied to ,one-half of the piece old plaster from a

thirty bushels per acre, and on the half where the plaster was applied a result was obtained very similar to that spoken of above when ashes was used. The wheat stood thicker and returned a much heavier yield. In the spring of IBIOj the piece of land upon which the experiment was made was seeded to clover, and the crop cut this year from that land was fully twice as heavy upon the limed part as upon the other, the former yielding some three tons of hay per acre, Further than this, Mr. H. says that upon the* part to .which the plaster was applied, a giowth of clover was made the same season of sowing, Sufficient to lay a good swath.— Olno Farmer. " * ' ' / At a party where questions were asked, and facetious if not felicitous answers expected, a coal dealer asked what le£al authority was the favorite with his trade One answered “Coke.” “Right*” said the coal dealer. Another suggested "jßlackstone.” “Good, too,” said the questioner. Then a little hard-faced man in the corner piped out “ Littleton,” whereupon the coal dealer sat do wn without saying a word.

Fever and Ague prevails to a painful extent in most sections of the West. A good) 1 safe and sure remedy is looked for by the people; one they can take to their homes to use in time of need. We would, therefore, recommend to all, Perry Davis’ Pain Killer, as being a safe and sure remedy; by using it internally and externally freely, it will soon dme all appearances of the disease from the system.

Hostetler's Stomach Bitters will soon have been before tho world a quarter of a century, and if is not too much to aver that thouwould have been in . their graves -years ago had they not been strengthened and sustained by this whole-some-stimulant. The rapidity with which minor ailments often become, when neglected, obstinate dls. eases, is well known. This tonic 1b famous for the Immediate check which it gives to these breeders of deadly disorders. The sensation of languor, the sick headache, flic nervousness, the exertion. tiro nausea, the confusion ot the brain, the physical debility, which are intended to premonish us of the approach of serious dhngef, are Invariably removed by a few doses of the Bitters.

Tho constantly lnereasaig patronugo which it receives has, It is true, exulted the petty envy of certain sp enetic advertisers of pinchbeck panaceas, who hope to makejx market for their own stagnant, watery wares, by decrying ail spirituous medicinal preparations. But the public can stomach neither their arguments nor their potattons, and consequently reject these very weak imitations of the enemy as entirely too thin 1
