From the Journal of Commerce we 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 held, and this morning when the. news was made public there was con siderable excitement. There were many rumors of intended bolts, and the Radicals, all of whom oppose YVillurd, were keeping up their cour age by offering to bet that he would he defeated. Long before one o'clock the hall of the House was crowded to its utmost capacity, a large number of ladies being present. At one o'clock, the Senate, headed by LicutennntGovcrnor Simpson, entered the hall. The Senators wore given scats in front of the Speaker's ! and the Lieutcnant-Govcrnor calling the joint assembly to order, had read the resolution calling for the joint nssembly, to elect a Chief Justice, to fill the vacancy caused by the death of Chief Justice Moses. Green, of Beaufort, asked if the election was to fill the uucxpired term, 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 satisfied *tbat if lie was promoted to the Chief Justice ship he would slill continue to honor the position, and serve the Slate with fidelity. Andrews, colored, of Sumter, nomi nated Hon. W. D, Porter. Mr. Meyers, colored, of Beau fori, seconded the nomination of Mr. Wil lard, which nomination, he said, would demonstrate the fact lhat ihe people of South Carolina were, will ing to recognize the worth of, and thnt he, for one, was not disposed to turn his back upon a man who, though not a native, was still identi fied with the interests of the Slate. A pause ensued, and no other nominations having been made, the joint assembly proceeded lo ballot. The vole was taken viva voce, the clerk of the Senate first calling the roll ofthat body The vote resulted Willard 15, Mc Gownn 15, iis follows; Those voting for Willard wore Senators Bo wen, Butler, Cannon, Counts, (hit louden, Evans; Howard, Jeter, Livingstone, J.

Wade Hampton, Governor. Washington, D. C, May 12, RS77. To (Joy. Wade Hampton : 1 am informed by tho Attorney General that he has instructed ihu District Attorney for South Carolina to prepare lor trial only three indict ments in the Kl teuton cases, and to notify the parties in all other cases that they need not prepare for trial. It is possible thai onl) one case will be tried. Tho fact i hilt the indict ments were found by the grand jury, composed of both political parlies, seems to justify the assumption that the prosecutions arc n >t partisan. 1 agree wi<h you that a general amnesty should extend \,o all political offenses except those which nrc of the gravest character, R.

The plant is tropical and largely cultivated in hot countries for food. An oil is expressed from the nuts said to be. in no way inferior to that of olives. The cultivation of the peanut is not profitable north of Virginia, a warm, lightaud moderate soil being;necessary. Plant in March and April, according to tlie latitude. The rows should ho.'h reo and a hn I 1 loot apart, nil la I wo leet apart. Drjp two to four-pads in each hill. Cover two inches deep, and when the plants appear thin out, leaving two in each hill. Keep the ground mellow an 1 the plants free from weeds. Use a light cultivator for this work and boo around I he hills occasionally until the plants bloom. A tablespoonfuI* of plaster dropped on c?yji hill two or three times during the season will give good results, When the plants bloom freely hill up slightly and they will need no further cultivation The' earlier the plants get started the larger the yield, which varies from twenty-live to seventy five bushels per acre. Gather the crop before the frost actually kills the vines. A com mon tree digger is the best imple ment fcr 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 tho pods from be coming blackened. Ljt the vines remain in the stack ten days or two weeks, when the nuts may be picked by hand or threshed oft* by machine. To Prepare Squash for Pies. The following method is well sui ted lo the Uubbard 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 open end down in a pan containing an inoh or so of boiling water, placing small slips of wood or thick wire underneath them so that the edge will not bum on tho pan. Lot it steam until thoroughly lender. 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 tho labor of prepara tion. Another plan is to take the two halves after cleaning from seeds, etc., join thorn together and bind firmly will) twine, and placo in the oven to bake until lender. There is little, if any difference in tho result, but J give the preference to the first method us heing much Ihe easiest. ? B. L. ./., i7i American Agriculiurist, Tin: Medicine ok ? Sunshine.? The wor d wants" more sunshine in its disposition, in its business in its theology. For ten thousands of the tidies and pains and irritation of men and women we recommend sunshine. It soothes better than morphine. It stimulates boiler than champagne; It is the best plaster for a wound. The good .Sa in aril un poured out into the fallen traveller's g.ish more of this than wine and oil. Florence Nightingale used it on Grim 3a n bat o o llofiohls. Take it into all tho alleys on hoard of aU the ships, and by all sick beds. Not a phial'ull, but li soul full. Ii is good for spleen, for liver complain', for neuralgia, for rheumatism, for falling fortunes, for melancholy. Wo suspect that hea ven itself is only more sunshine. II?)w to Succeed.?If your scat is hard to sit upon, stand up. i,Jfn rock rises up before you, roll it away or climb over it. If you want money, earn it. It lakes 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 mi other has done?surpass it. J)o serve success, and it will come. The boy was riot born a mm. TU a sun does not rise like a rocket, or go down like a bullet fired fronTTi gun; slowly and surely it makes its rounds, and never tires. It is as easy to be a lender as a wheel horse. If the job be long, the pay will be greater; if the task be hard, the moic competent you must be to do it. Ninety persons out of every hun dred wlip set out fruit trees for home use or market indulge in tco many varieties. This one fatal error has ruined more fruit-growers than all other causes combined. Nursery men propagate their hundreds and thousands of sorts, simply because a | msijority of their customers do not] know what they want arid will not take the advice of inch who do. The prevailing passion with the novice in fruit culture is to try as many* varie ties as possible, and wc have known men who had ''just begun/' and with very liulc capital, to go into a nur sery and undertake Ic make n short purse go a long way, by purchasing a nee or Iwo of inch variety, instead of acting the wiser part, selecting iroin ami moor 01 ireos a lew 01 the very best. Feed Racks.?A stormy day im proved by making a few racks In hohl hay and fodder for eaitlCj sheep and horses, will return large prpiits before summer comes, in saving;,tho feed iroiri being I ram pied under lb it and in the mud, and thus wasted and destroyed. Plenty of feeding racks about the barnyard is an evidence of a careful pains taking farmci?and only such can make anything now-n days. It is not those who make the moat that thrives best, but it. is those who save the most, of what they du make. The secret of success is in saving all that can economically and wisely be saved.
