From the Journal of' Commerce wo clip the following intelligent account of tho election of Judge Willard to the Supreme Bench: Columbia, S. C, May 15.?The caucus last night, as previously an nounced, resulted in the nomination of Judge "Willard, he having at about half-past three o'clock received forty - one votes. Twenty-three ballots were heid, and this morning when the. news was made public there was con siderable excitement, There were many rumors of iutended bolts, and the Radicals, all of wdiom oppose Willard, were keeping up their cour age by offering to bet that ho would be defeated. Long before one o'clock the hall cf the House was crowded to its utmost capacity, a large number of ladies being present. At one o'clock, the Senate, headed by Lieutenant-Governor Simpson, entered the hall. The Senators were given scats in front of the Speaker's and the Lieutenant-Governor calling the joint assembly to order, had read the resolution calling for the joint assembly, to elect a Chief Justice, to fill the vacancy caused b)T the death of Chief Justice Moses. Green, of Beaufort, asked if the election was to fill the unexpircd torru, or to fill the full term of six The President replied that that was a question which each member must answer for himself. Nominations were then called for. Mr. Orr, of Anderson, nominated A. J. Willard. It was, he said, not necessary to make a long speech. Mr. Willard had filled the position of Associate Justice with honor and dignity, and he was satisfiedihat if he was promoted to the Chief Justice ship he would still continue to honor the position, and serve the State with fidelity. Andrews, colored, of Sumter, nomi nated Hon. W. D. Porter. Mr. Meyers, colored, of Beaufort, seconded the nomination of Mr. Wil lard, which nomination, he said, would demonstrate the fact that the people of South Carolina were, will ing to recognize the worth of, and that he, for one, was r.ot disposed to turn Iiis back upon a man who, though not a native, was still identi fied with the interests of the State. A pause ensued, and no other nominations having been made, the joint assembly proceeded to ballot.

The Lien Law was again discuss ed. The. following was received from the Governor, and read : Columjua, May 12, 1877. Gentlemen of the Senate and House of Representatives : Yesterday I transmitted to his Excellency the President of ihc United States the < oncurrent resolu tion adopted by the General Assemb ly invoking Executive clemency, and 1 hereby have the honor to communi cate his reply. W.uu; Hami'tox, Governor. Washington, D. C, May 12,1877. To Uov. Wade JJ<i))ij)tuii : 1 am informed by tho Attorney General that he has instructed the District Attorney for South Carolina to prepare for trial only three indict ments in the Ellenton cases', and to notify the parties in all other cases that they need not prepare for trial. It is possible thatbnl) one case will be tried. The fact that the indict ments were found by the grand jury, composed of both political parties, seems to justify the assumption that the prosecutions are not partisan. I agree with you that a general amnesty should extend to all political offenses except I hose which are of the gravest character, R. B. Hayes, Pre?i dent. Mr. AM rieh introduced n concur rent resolution to extend tho thanks ofthe General Asreinbly to President Hayes for his clemency.

The plant is tropical and largely cultivated in hot countries j for food. An oil is expressed from the nuts said to be in no way inferior 1 to that of olives. The cultivation of 1 the peanut is not profitable north of , Virginia, a warm, light and moderate soil being ricc333ary. Plant in March and April, according to the latitude. The rows should ha ihren iind a hol 1 icct apart, bills Iwo feet apart; Drjp two to four-pads in each hill. Cover two inches deep, and when the plants appear thin out, leaving two in each bill. Keep the. ground mellow an I the plants free from weeds. Use a light cultivator for this work and hoe i around the bills occasionally until the plants bloom. A tablcspo ihfub of plaster dropped on each bill two or three times during the season will give good results. When the plains bloom freely bill up slightly and they will need no further cultivation The earlier the plants get started the larger the yield, which varies from twenty-five to seventy live bushels per acre. Gather the crop before the frost actually kills the vines. A com mon tree digger is the best imple ment for raising the vines and nuts. Spread out to dry for a day or two, then put up in small stacks, with the bottom layer resting on something to keep out the dirt. Put on caps of straw to prevent the pods from be coming blackened, LA the vines remain in the stack ten days or two weeks, when the nuts may be picked by baud or threshed off by machine. To Preparo Squash for Pies. The following method is well sui ted to the liubbard and other hard shelled, long-keeping squashes, and is equally useful for preparing squash for the table : My plan is Lo saw a squash in half, clean out the seeds; etc., then place op's'ii end down in a pan containing an inch or so of| boiling water, placing small slips of wood or thick wire underneath them so that the edge will not burn on tho pan. Let it steam until thoroughly tender. The flesh of the squash is then easily scraped out with a spoon, and run through a colander, if thought desirable, though it. is not necessary, there being no hard lumps in it. By this plan none of the aroma of the squash is lost, while it greatly reduces the labor of prepara tion. Another plan is to take the two halves after cleaning from seeds, etc., join them together and biud firmly with twine, and place in the oven to bake until tender. There is little, if any difference in the result, but I give the preference to the first method us being much the easiest. ? B. L. ./., in American Agriculturist. Tiii? Mudicink of ? Sunshine.? The word wants * more sunshine in its disposition, in its business in its theology. For ten thousands of the aches and pains and irritation of men and women we recommend sunshine. It soothes better than morphine. It stimulates belter than champagne. It is the best plaster for a wound. The good Samaritan poured out into the fallen traveller's gash more of this than wine and oil. Florence rsightinsral? used it on Criuisan bat tlefields. Take il into all tho alleys on board of nd the ships, and by all sick beds. Not a pliiallull, but a soul full. It is good for Kpleon, for liver complain*, for neuralgia, for rheumatism, for falling fortunes, for melancholy. Wo suspect thai hea ven itself is only more sunshine. How to Succkhd.?If your scat is hard to sit upon, stand up. ;Jf a rock rises up before you, roll it away or climb over it. If you want money, earn it. It takes longer to skin an elephant than a mouse, but the skin is worth something; If you want confidence, pro'e yourself worthy of it. lie not content with doing what ?nother has done?surpass it. Do serve success, and it will come. The boy was not born a man. The suit does not rise like a rocket, or go down like a bullet fired fronragun; slowly and su rely il makes its rounds, and never tires. It is as easy to be a leader as a wheel horse. If the job be long, the pay will be greater; if the task be hard, the mote competent you must be lo do it. Ninety persons out of every hun dred who set out fruit trees for home use or market indulge in leb many varieties. This one fatal error has j ruined more fruit-growers than all j other causes combined. Nursery men propagate their hundreds and thousands of sorts, simply because a majority of their customers do not know what they want and will not take the'advice of men who do; Th prevailing passion with the novice in fruit culture is to try as many varie ties as possible, and we have known men who had "'just begun," and with very little capital, to go into a nur sery and undertake, tc make a short purse go a long way. by purchasing a tree or two of each variety, instead of acting the wiser part, .selecting iroin a mi inner 01 trees a lew ot the very best. FKKi) Hacks.?A stormy day im proved by making a lew racks to hold hay and fodder for cuUle'j sheep and horscsj will return large pru'its before summer comes, in suvi.bg the feed Iroril being trampled under foot and in the mad, and thus wasted ami destroyed. Plenty of feeding racks about the barnyard is an evidence of a careful pains-taking farmci?and only such can moke anything now-a ditys. Ii is not those who make the most thai thrives best, but il is those who save the most, of what they do make. The secret of success is in saving all that can economically and wisely be saved.
