The English have taken the other half, and will garrison It, with thelr headquarters at Candahar, How- ever Russianized tho Amecr may have be- come, ho Is clearly now under English influ ences and under thelr control, and Is to have no communteation with other Powers.

One of tho most obylous questions that pra- sent thomselyes to tho Intelligent votor this year ls tho mquiry, What Is to bo gained by ft change of parties in tho administration of the Natlounl Government? ‘The Domo- eratic managers, the Democraticnewspapers, tho Democratic platform, all qutlioritics of the Democratic party fail to give quy satis: factory reply to this question. Four years ago tho Democrats wero in a much better position than now to urge a chunge of pur ties, ‘The people were discouraged by tho prevailing hard times, ‘They wero ina mood to conclude that matters could not bo worse, and thata changoof purtles might In somo unexplained’ way bring reef. The Demo- eratlo platform declared in effect that ro- sumption had been delayed too long; the Demoerntic spenkers and newspnapors, pan- dering to tho soft-money men and the people in debt, promised s repeal of tho Resumption law anda return to the old system of an In- ilated and depreciated currency, There waa no cortalnty us to what tho Democrata would do In regard to the currency If they should auceved to the control of the Government, but this clement of uncortuinty was fayor- “ablo to them, ‘ho conservative hard-monoy “men persuaded thomsolyes that the Domo- crates would hurry up the return to specla- payments; the Groenbackera were led to bo- Nove that, on tho contrary, the Domocrata would set the Washington printing-prosses towork and flood the country . with irre- deemable notes, Many men tn both factions voted with the Democrats under the convic- tton or hope that the change, whatever it might bring forth, would ba an improvement upon tho existing condition of things.

Darby, seomns to have successfully solyed ‘the prob- Jem of steam cultivation by the construction of asteun-diggers witigh appears te ho des- tined to take the, plade of tho steam-plow. Tho London fimes of July 12 contains a very full-deseription of the new machine, some portions of which will be of Interest to our Western farniers,, Tho principle of the machine ts described na follows: Applying tho motive power at the point where tho work Is, favolving the oimployinent of tun engine traveling upon tho land with tho tilling npparatus faliowing; effecting tho cultivation by direct-ucting tines or blades, Instead of by the wodye-and-twist notion.of the plowshara and moidbonnd; utilizing the thrust of the tools in a backward direction to nid the propulsion of the engine forward; and taking a great breadth at once with at slow rate of advance, in order to transport tho engine over the ground as soklom e possible in proportion to tho area of work lone, Threo huge forks, suspended from a crank shaft mounted behind’ the boller, operate upon a breadth of twenty feet at once, Each forls rises and falls ono foot and Is, ennted backwards & distance of two feat, the sod belng deposited nt the back of anopen trench and turned over so that the face of the stubble Tests against the back of the preceding stice, Inn few words, theso forks resemble huge spades and act a3 such, and, Instead of turn- ing up a hard, compact sod in longthwlse fur- rows, turn them crosswise and pulverize them, The Times,.in {ts description of the operation of one of them, says: “Iho opera- Hon, as we saw lt in a stiff, molst soil, f9 thoroughly effected; tho slices are severed and Ifted, leaving a furrow bottom level; and, instead of tho pieces falling Irrogularly or exposing horbage'on the surface, the In- yorslon 13 ag complete ag in ordinary plow- Ing,—with the exception of the edge whieh, Inthe best plowing upon grass or les, is turned under by employing a skin coulter.” ‘Thote ara many remarkable features con- nected with the machine, A single cylinder engine of clght-horso power, working under soventy pounds pressure of steam, digs at the rate of ten acres per day land that takes three horses to plow an acre per day at tho samo depth. It {3 claimed also “that tho diggors in ponctrating the ground caso the wolght of tho engine to a considorable extent off the traveling wheels, and also by thelr‘back action drive the engine forward.” ‘Tho Ties also makes another point In favor of the machine, which, as all farmers know, Is of the grentest possible importance, It says: “The absence of any sledging action upon the furrow bottom must be of vist ad- vantage for facilitating the descent of plant rootlets and the downward filtration of water and acration of the -subsoll; and the mannor in which tho roots of couch and thistles are draw upout of the subsoll, slx Inclics or eight inches long, Instead of belng cut or broken, was most admirable in the trial alluded to,” As to {ts capabilities for travel- Ing overland, tho Times sayas Tho muching, wolgbiug t Wolye tons, fa carried upon four wheels hnying follies (wo feet broud, wnoking tho miximum average Weight resting on the land ono and a bal tous for vuch foot breadth of wheel tire, This pressure (dimin- Tahed by ap much ag inay bo suatalned upon the fork when entering the ground) rolls upon only ulght feet breudth out of the whole breadth of twonty feet pressed over.

Hancock's fitness for the Clicf Magistracy fs “ Order No. 40,” Igaued when he took command In 1887 of the Military Department embracing Loutsians and ‘Texas.’ Lind thera been ‘anything else Indicating the Democratic candidate's en- pacity for elvil government, the partisan newspapers and spenkers would have pro- duced It before this time. ‘The exact value of this precious docmmnent is fixed by the clreumstanee that the Republicans (not the Democrats) propose to issue It ns acampaign document, accompanied by a pinin story of tho couditions under which it was promul- gated, and by oxtracts from tho report of Gen, Sheridan, who preéeded Hancock in command at Now Orloans. If “Order No, 40" had the virtue which the Democrats lave professed = to. believe §=St had, they would scarcely have walted for thelr opponguts to give It wide circulation; itiscanatly evident that the Republicans have concluded that the Democratic candl- date enmmot be Injured so much In any. way ng by the reproduction of his own words In the only: relation he ever bore towerd elvil aduiinistration, ‘The history of the Military Department of Loutstuna and Texas in 1807 shows that Gen, Hancock's order and the conduct which It outlined were tha very reverse of pntriot- ism, ‘These States had not at that time resumed the functions of local government in conformauce with the acts of reconstric- tion and tho constitutional amendments. The ruling casté had refused to accept the results of the War. ‘There was an utterly luwless condition of things In Texas, ‘The freedinen nud the Union whites were the victims of gross outrages which the Courts would not punish, and which tho sol- dlery were unable to provent under the atthority that, nd been given thom. Gen. Sheridan and othor Union Gen- erals at the South had reported these things to Gen. Grant, and tho Intter lind ofilelally recommended the declaration of martial law in Texas as the only menns for protecting the persecuted clisses and as a needed warning to tho ex-Rebols of.othor Southorn States who were beginning to tmnitnte tho Igwless Texans. This was the state of things at the time Gen. Nancock took command at Now Orleans, and yet he proclaimed, within. n few hours after his arrival, that ho found peace and aulet everywhere, and otherwise held out asstrances to the irreconcilables that they, and not the persecuted classes, should enjoy the protection of the military power, From that tine on, during Haneock’s rule, there was no check upon the Texan outrages, and it was not long before Demo- eralle niggor-killing ? elubs wore organized in Louisiana, Tho military power was used as much In Hancock's admintstration ns it had been In Sheridan’s, but it was thenceforth Inyoked in behalf of tho Rebel obstruction- ists and nullitiera instead of the Union, men. ‘The regulations as to registration wero ehangod by inilitary order; civil officers were sitinmarily removed. and others ap- pointed; Gov. Packard was once arrested by Matcock’s command; and there was perhaps more military interferenco in elvil affairs than there had been before, but tho Intorfer- enee was favorable to the native Bourbons, ngainst whose oppression the negrocs and tho Union whites wore struggling, ‘ These are some of the reasons which prompt the Republican managors to use as a campaign document of thelr own tho only production of Gen. Ilancock’s which the Democrats have relied upon as oyidence of thelr lender’s greatness, ‘ THE CENSUS IN OHICAG. . - Tho census of Cook County, showing population of 600,000, lends to the consldora- tion of several Smportant changes In her future political division, Until the wholo population of the country 1s ascertained, tho exact ratio of population to each Represonta- tive in Congress cannot bo known, But it maybe stated that It will be somewhere between 160,000 and 160,000 of vopulation to ench Representative, Ifat the former rate, this county will bo cntitled to four Repra- sentatives in Congress, 1f' the number be fixed at 155,000 or 160,000, then, Lake County willbe needed to give the population to entitle this county to four Representa tives, ‘Tho divislon of this county into Congressional. districts of that numbor will be more easy than is supposed. The whole South Division, excluding the Fifth Ward, would make ono district; the Fitth, Sixth, Seventh, aud’ Elghtn. Waris, would make a district so Democratic tha’ that party could run four candidates and bo iu no danger of losing tho district, Tho othor districts would be Republican, no mat tor how the wards and towns might be dis- tributed, ‘Tho county will also have to bo divided into un Legislative districts, each entitled to one Senatgrand three Representatives. These districts must be of contiguous territory. ‘This dtyision will probably be dependent upon the somewhat naceasary changes to be nade 1n the ward boundaries. The wards at present aro widely ditterent in tho number of thelr population, some being nearly four times as populous as others, This is not to be reme- dled by an increase of wards. Tho present number of olghtcen cannot be Increased, ‘The South Side will lose ono ward and the North Sido another, and both are to bo added to tho West Side, But this will not equalize tho western wards, so that many changes will have to be made in the present boundaries, and the wards ag nowly divided will form the basis gf the future apportionni nt of Laglalae tive and Congreastonal dlatriots, Tho Legialutive ond Congressfonal dis tricts nre to bo determined by the Logista- ture next spring, while the redivision of the elty into wards must be dotie by tho City Counell, Jn’ the divislon of the elty tuto wards for munic)pal legislation, somo regard ought to ba had to the political character of tho population, Thus, y tho present First Ward the population ts comparatively small, but the proportion of voters Is much greater than in uny other ward, This is due to the fact that the number of wale adults fs greater, and the proportiun of male adults who aro not cilizons ond not yotera ts amoallor than In many other wards. So, fn other, wards, the proportion of cltlzens aud voters to the whole populatidn iy compara. tively very sinall, At tho Presidential election In November itis probable thera will ba ag full a voto polled ag oyor takos pinco in this city, and the Counell will do well porhaps to postpone action on this subject ‘until thoy have that vote heforo them, so that In arranging the wards for representation tn the City Council they may be able to ascertnin the actual con- stituents of wlint Is purely o business cor- poration, and divide the wards, as nearly navigation on all the Western rlyers may Nol carry 0 bushel of graln to New Orleans more than now, but to render this at all times pos sible, nud at aaninimum cost, will make the water routes tho erent controllers and regu. Intors of tho rates of transportation, and the rallronda will seo to It that no bustness shall be diverted from them bocause of a dilference - iu tho cost of transportation. * ————— Jury 17, 1868, Winficid Scott Maneock wrote tho following totter to 8, i.
