They HAVE THEIR REwARD.-Mr. Cooke
of Tennessee, in a recent speech in the House
of Representatives gave an enumeration of the
honorable and lucrative appointments which
have been given to members of the Baltimore
Convention in 1874 which nominated Mr.
Polk. From the statement of names and sala-
rcs, it appears that thirty seven of the whole
number are in the receipt of an aggregate of
six hundred and ninety six thousand, five hun
dred and sixty eight dollars and fifty six cents,
for the current four years.
The Philadelphia North American thinks
that $40, 900 head-the average of the thirty
seven stated-is pretty respectable price for
loco foco skulls, but cheap enough when it is
considered that Mr.. Polk very prudently pays
his friends out Of the public treasury.

The STARS AND STRIPES IN NENIcE.-At
Venice, on occasion of consecrating the tri-col-
ored banner, by the Patriarch of that city, in
front Of st. Marks, the American Consul is
said to have been the only foreign diplomat in
yited to be present, and in the course of the
ceremonies, the commander of the troops on
parade exclaimed "Attention Honor to the
flag Of the United States Of America !''-on
which the dense mass burst forth in shouts Of
applause, with the cries of Long live our
sister Republic :" The people, of all classes
and conditions, soldiers and civilians, threw
themselves into the arms Of the consul, en-
braced him, and kissing the star-spangled
banner" pressed their hearts, while many
with moistened eyes, reaching their hands
through the dense crowd merely to touch it,
could hut just articulate, " Hird IL console =
riro ,gh Soh Unit !,-rira Ia gran RepubH-
ca -" And in the evening" at the Theatre,
there was repetition Of the enthusiasm, on the
Consuls entering his box with his wife.

GENERAL CAss.-The n. Y. Tribune, com
menting on the late nomination at Baltimore,
says in reference to the course and former
views Of GENERAL CAss on an important sub
ject-
"On the great question of Free soil against
Slavery Extension, his course has been base
beyond example. He was originally (and the
proof exists) an avowed champion of Free soil.
Even when he voted against the proposition in
the last Congress, he declared himself devoted
to the principle, bm this was not the proper
time to affirm tit was improper to legslate
on an abstraction, &c. &c. Thus he stood
for few months, when 10 out comes his let
ter to Tennessee, eating all his former words,
and avowing himselfa convert to the Southern
doctrine, that Slavery may be legally establish
ed in any territorial acquisition of this country
by the mere fact of Shareholders choosing tC

apostacy and treachery has rarely or never beer
known, and we hold that every advocate o
Free soil and Free labor should vote even fel

GEN. CAss.-We copy another Of the opin-
ions of the Press in relation to the nomination
of Gen. CAss. 1t is from the n, York Globe,
whose locoiocoism is not doubted. We re-
commend it to the attention of neutral editors
who are fond Of giving opinions Of the press
upon the Baltimore nomination.
BETrING.-There are bets making in Al
bany that Gen. Cass will not carry majority
in any one county in New York. Before thir-
ty days have elapsed there will be bets offered
that there is not state in the Union that will
cast her electoral vote for Cass.
Speaking of the same nomination, the Alex
andra Gazette says
With all due respect for him (Gen. Cass)
as gentleman-and we shall, we hope, never
fail to treat him with all respect, consistent
with the free and full discussion of his merits
and claims to the station for which he is now a
candidate-we yet do not hesitate to say, that
neither in point of talents, sagacity, consistency,
or firmness, is he worthy of the Office of Presi-
dent. lie has, in diplomacy been knocked
heels over head by Webster and in statesman
ship, floored, over and ovei again, by Calhoun.
AS party man, he has watched the varying
phases of politics, and shaped his course to
suit the tlmes-trimming his sails to the popu-
lar breeze. But no one has or can look 10 him
as pilot to weather the storm, OF capable of
directing the helm Of the ship of state, in cases
OF emergencies.

:" You are aware that the principal members

disasters which the house has sustained, and to

METHODIST GENERAL CoNFERENCE.-This
BODY finally adjourned on Thursday. We
have the Pittsburgh Advocate with reports Of
the proceedings of Wednesday and Thurs
day.
Rev. Abel Stevens offered his resignation of
the office of editor of the Christian Advocate
and Journal, which on motion was accepted,
and the Rev. George Peck, ID. d., was elect
ed in his stead.
A resolution was adopted, declaring that
resolutions of annual conferences, advising the
Bishops not to appoint presiding elders tor
more than one term successfully, was an inn
proper interference with the rights and busl-
ness of the episcopacy.
The subject of a delegated annual confer
ence was postponed for four years, TO give time
for examination and consideration.
The Rev. DIR. Bangs was appointed to rep
resent the Methodist Episcopal Church in the
ensuing conference of the Methodist Church in
Canada.
Rev. DR.. G.. Elliott was by resolution re-
quested to write the history of the Methodist
Episcopal Church for the last four years.
The next General Conference, in 1852, will
be held in Boston.
Professor Holdch presented and read the
pastoral letter to the Churches which was
adopted.
The following ministers were appointed the
general mission committee-Revs. i. Z. Sand

Late accounts received at St. Louis from the
Salt Lake settlement represent that the Indi-

towns and encampments, and have most cruelty
and barbarously murdered largo number OF
men, women and children.
An express has been sent by the Mormons
to St. Louis asking for assistance and for
armed forces to protect them from the fearful
ravagcs threatened by their murderous and
savage foes. No cause is assigned by the In.
dians for their conduct. They threaten ven

CATERPILLARs ASD RosE-BuGs.-To the
Editor Of The Jomnal notice that the cat
erpillars' nests have already made their appear
ance on the apple trees and cherry trees. ]
have always observed that the rose-bugs follow
the caterpillars, settling upon the very trees
where the caterpillars' nests have been the
thickest, and as the fruit in this vicinity has
been greatly injured for the past two years by
this destructive insect, thought that might
render service to the farmer by suggesting
the prompt detection of the caterpillar nests,
and the best mode of eiiecting it. / have trav-
elled in most of the States for the ten or twelve
years, and | have uniformity observed that
where there are no caterpillars there are no
rose-bugs, and believe that an eifcctual way
to prevent the rose-bugs is to destroy the cater
pillars The best way to do this is to take a
pole of suitable length, with spear in the end,
to which fasten a corn-cob and dip il in soft
soap. With this rub off the nests from the
trees. 1t should be repeated several times, as
some of the nests are much earlier than the
others. loURs, &c.
