The rec electien shows that non-producers well organized. The cities,townsi villages voted nearly solid while country vote?embracing a large i jority of the indnstiial classes? very much divided, the "make i of Congress in l^'.H shows the elf of a want of organization among farmers. The Senate was composed S5 members of whom 51 were lawy? 5 bankers, 10 merchants and mai facturers, 1 doctor. 1 farmer and I other vocations. The house was co posed of 331 members, viz: *Jt5 la yers. 11 bankers, 31 merchants a manufacturers, x editors, a doctors a jx farmers. The farmers number per cent. of the pupiilntinn of 1 I'nited States engaged in gainful i cup&tions, yet they have only 7 | cent, of t heir class representing th in f'ongress. Farmers furnish 7"> ] cent, of our exports.yet no taritl' tat are levied to protect them from forei competition in prices of their p ducts.

Natives Still Ignorant That the (\ Mints Have Been Closed. ng The London Times iiublishes el si letter from an occasional correspondent who asserts that India p ^ is still an extensive purchaser ot c? silver because ninety-nine out ol li ou one hundred natives are ignorant w ui- of the fact that the mints are vi closed. They believe they can ^ exchange their ornaments for X l K ; rupees at any moment. When the* |j truth becomes generally known ,no!it will be a grievous cause for N disull'cctioti. The conepondent. >NV adds : ti |I)S 1 . ' "1 he great dearth of rupees in ,' ' ' i India suggests the advisability ol j | re-opening the mints and raising j'^ ; I he import duty on silver in order] a to make the value of silver equiv- l! alent to the value of the rupee.'' j] jig As to Wagon Tires. < uu Some valuable experiments <] 1,1 with the draft of wule and narrow- < ?pe . ' pj. tired wagons have been made by . >td the officers of the agricultural ex I an periment station at Columbia, j e.v Mo. Contrary to public electa,m tion, it was established that in <; nearly all eases the draft was ma V terialiy lighter when tires six I 1 ^ inches wide were used than with \ j.v tires ot standard width. This is J - it ; thought to remove the last oh- > lay .jeetioii to the gradual adoption of N hd t|K. broad wheel, as its efleet in ^ 100 making, rather than in breaking, j 1 ro roads has been thoroughly ap ^ preciated. On a macadam street s ! the same draft required to haul a ^ ton load with narrow tires hauled ^ more than a ton and a quarter ".j~ with the broad tired. ,>nt ( hi gravel roads the the draft reare a nut quired to haul 2,000 pounds with narrow tires hauled 2.010 pounds ^ vhs on the broad tires. (>u dirt roads, |.V-t dry and hard and free from ruts, ' ^ the broad tires pulled more than j. rs. one-third lighter. On mud roads, spongy on the surface and soft underneath. the broad tires drew iw- one-half lighter than the narrow *' JJlJ tires. On the same road, when v to soft and sticky on top and firm a underneath, the narrow tires q " pulled materiall lightei. the dif- ^ fin ' fereneo amounting to an average ^ i of one third. When this had been j?? j wet to a great depth by continued ft f"- rains, and the mud bad become u n,~ still ami stickev, so that it would <i U" i . 1,1 ire gather on the wheels, difference i was ami in hirirelv in oivnr nl' ilm ' J,* narrow tir<-s. These two are the n m1 J only conditions of tlu? dirt road M 'r* in which tho narrow tires showed l? or , ,i i,,. to advantage. t >n meadows and \, >?** pastures the results have heen j. 'j.ir strikingly in favor of the hroad ^ an j wheels. When tin- meadows are , soft, from d.OtM) to 1,000 pounds niav he hauled on the hroad :|! I 1 " 1 ?ru wheels with the same draft as t hat hi 1 required to haul a load of "J.oOO i i . . <> pounds on the narrow wheels.1 "> - The beneficial e fleet ol the wide tire mi dirt roads was also strik t< ..y I injrly shown in the tests. A clay [ n l!|-! road, badly cut into ruts by tlielw ,.IJ narrow tires, was selected the'ol n test, as presenting conditions least ' In ,afJ favorable to the hroad tire. A In n,l number of test- of the draft ofc " r 1 the narrow tire were made in jet these open ruts, and immodiutclv li >? r J i <?5 followed l>y the hroad tires run-11< niiiji in the same ruts. The tirst^si i,.r run oi the hroad tire over thejei n- narrow tire ruts was accompanied ai ''ll hy an increased draft; the second II .;s; hv a ?1 raIt materially less thanjfi ?r- t lie original narrow t ire; the third I t( l>\ a still greater decline, and in e: r H ' >o-ltno fourth trip the rut was prac-! a tically obliterated and tilled. thus In 1 demonstrating that if even half tl the wagons had broad tires the, is results would be beneficial to all n i. in decreased draft and belter ai "y 1 roads.

'20.?The 'armors' alliance held three conditions yesterday and did not djourn until very late last night, lie sessions were behind closed oors. The national and state odies have been at loggerheads )r a long time.

'Took a stroll that veiling, viewing sonic of his well illivated and abundantly pro fie crops, lieing hospitably en rtainou that night by the afore iid and his family, we were up irly on the morning of the did ud oil' for the picnic ground, at I one well church, on the < 'heater cM road s miles east of Lancas ?r court house, where there* js an seellenf ami commodious church, large and well arranged school wise. with an Alliano hall on ie second tloor. Dixie po-tollice also at this place, and a very ice thing in the way of a mill nd ginning apparatus, operated y Messrs. Langley 'orter. ' After passing through and by some fine farming lands, with good crops thereon, belonging tc .1. Harvey Flynn, Captain T. R Langley, post mast%r Kiddle and others, we landed upon the scent about 11:30 a. in., being pleasantly entertained by numerous friends The committee were at work putting things in order and the peo plo were continuously pouring ii on vehicles ranging from a twf horse wagon to a road cart al well loaded with people from the age of Rev. 1\ M. Fly lor, o j Tradosville down to that of mane peacable inlants. In the mean | time our friend Mr. R. Small i drove up a hack with his family twelve in number, comfortably | seated therein. We noticed in tho vehicle: : trunk -, baskets, boxes etc., lilhs | with many good things for tin inner man. Taking this, alotif, with the pleasant smile upon tin i face of every body, satisfied youi nutnoic servant that there wa> happiness of a multit udinon: quantity on hand for the day During this time there was a mini her of beautiful and sweet younj ladies, accompanied by a like numberof handsome young men had assembled in the eliurcl around the organ and were dis coursing some very tine music much to the enjoyment of tin whole crowd. At this juncture the expected speakers not having arrived, some little uneasinest j was felt that that part of the pro gram might not come up to ex I pectations. But upon the arriva of the llon.d. Mat I lough of ( lies terlield and Hon. .1. C. Willmrr of York, president of the Stab Alliance, those tears were dis polled. The hour having arrivet and the aforementioned speaker and about live hundred peopls present. The crowd was called to orde by Mr. W. (J. A.

Twelve o'clock hav ing arrived it was announced tha the speaking would cease unti after dinner, whereupon the com mil tee to receive supplies and arrange the dinner was called to get her, taking matters iti hand spreading table cloths upon tlx ground a distance of about tw< imnureu ii'ct through the grovt and placing thereupon as l?oun t it ill and elegant su ppl V of edible: as this correspondent ever wit iiossed. Kvervbody there hat | already heen mad ' welcome. Af j ter invoking Divine blessings, tin | crowd leisurely and heartily par took of the rich viands befort them. A goodlv number, one o [which was this writer, did ful [justice to the occasion.

All l?ein< ipiiet the Hon..I. Mat Hough was introduced as next speaker.

After Mr. Houglds speech Mr. Ira Caldwell of Mecklenburg, N. t C., was introduced and delivered a > short speech on education, which 1 was relished by the crowd. ? The audience was then dismiss- t I ed to ramble about the grounds and converse at leisure showing ; in each face a gleam of enjoyI j men! silently saying. "I am glad , | I came".
