Gsss~ The special correspondent of the New Orleans
Picayunc, under date of JAN l. has the following
We have had quite an interesting discussion to-day
in the House, which have only time to alludc to
ry briefly. Gen. Qutman moved reference Of the
whole subject of amending the neutrality laws to 4
select committees and upon that proposition made Il
speech oondemnatory Of Com. Pauldng. He main
tanned that the Government Of the United States il
limited one acting only to to the extent Of its del
egated power. 1t has no delegated power beyond
that of Furnishing our own citizens for any infringe
ment of the law OF nations. Well, here is great
enterprise now before and in which great por
tion of country Interested Is it to be broken
down because two other nations choose to go to war
Is our neutral nation to interfere under too grca
fastidiousness OF morals. which, in the present day
too often covers a multitude Of crimes.
Mr.. Quman went on to demonstrate that the neu-
trality actof 1878 was fragrant violation ofhe rights
of citizens of the United States. lie traced in a
mastery manner the events and influences of the pc
riod onder which the neutrality laws grew up and
showed that they are longer applicable to the cir
cumstances of the present day. In conclusion, he
craved the indulgence of the House; that physical
indispostion prevented his doing justice to the sub
iect or to himself Mr.. Qutman speech was listened
to with marked attention, many members leaving
their seats and erowdng on the iloor the better te
hear his remarks.
Mr.. J. CLANCY Jones attempted reply, but did MOI
90 to the direct merits Of the real question at issue
Subsequently Messrs. Kctt and Stephens presented
brief arguments to show that the act OF Pauldng
was an act of war, in violation of the law OF 1918,
which, by its terms excludes the idea Of any right OF
the naval force of the United States to follow al
legged flibuser, upou the high seasto saylnOtf-

Gov. GEARY FOR THE ADMINIsTRATIoN.-Gover
Geary, says the Washington correspondent Of the N.
Y. Herald, late of Kansas, is in Washington, and
openly sustans the policy of Mr. Buchanan and un-
hestatingy condemns that pursued by Governor Wal
ker and Judge Douglas. There can be no greater
Free State man anywhere than Governor Geary, but
he has no idea of carrying squatter sovereignty to
the Red Republican point of Governor Walker or
Judge Douglas popular tickle Tie thinks Kansas
will and ought to be free State, and that the quick
est and safest way of making her one is by submit
ting the Lecompton Constitution in Congress- Once

their own way, without troubling Con-
grcss or exciting angry feelings among the people.

EARLY CuTIING or iiAY.--l have observed
in several agricultural papers, articles en-
joining farmers to cut their hay as early as
at the time that il comes out in blOssom, (0r
even earlier,) because il is said, i" II properly
cured, the hay retains ITS beautiful green
color. and the nutricioos juices of the plant.
to much greater degree than if suffered to
stand until the seeds are fully formed
Perhaps this may be true in regard To
clover, but am satisfied that il is not in re-
gard to timothy or the other grasses. Z
At all events. my experience is that green
timothy hay is not as palatable to cattle, nur
to stock Of any kind. as that which is cut
after the seeds are fully formed, and indeed
50 fa- rIpened as to " shell little, when the
hay is " housed"
Some years ago | cut some very good
timothy gras, befure harvest, and before the
blossoms had entirely fallen of. Il was
cured in the very best manner, and placed

had become 50 ripe as TO she'll our considers

every instance. The reason Of the prefer
ence shown by the cattle for the hay cut af

much more easily masticated. and sweete
in flavor than the other that il retained, j
the stems. leaves and seeds, all the nutritiy
matter il possessed when green. and probabl
with some additions. derived from the cart
and atmosphere, over and above that Of th
green hay.
The green. early cut hay, although il re
tanned ITS green and beautiful appearance
was tough and difficult to masticate; an
very probably the crude and unelaborate
sap acquired an acid and hitierish tast,
which was dIsagreeable to the palate, an
,ieleterious to the health Of the cattle. y
