PREMIUM LIST OF THE PoRTA GE COUNTY
AGRICULTURAL SocIETV.-In another part
of today's paper we publish the List of
Premiums to be awarded at the next annual
Fair Of the Portage County Agricultural
Society. 1t will be seen that the premiums
this year are to be paid in cash, which is a
decided improvement upon the old system
of giving papers and books. The liberal
spirit thus manifested by the Society will,
we doubt not, be properly appreciated by the
farmers and mechanics of our county, and
the next Fair will be one of interest and
profit.

THE HoRRID cooL1E TRAFFIC..

In our foreign dispatches, some brief refer
ence has been made to the infamous, unspeak
ably infamous character of the coolie traffic,
as carried on between China and Cuba. We
now have a full account of the matter. In
the London papers, official documents are
published, giving us some dreadful revelations
respecting the kidnapping of coolies in China.
On the 18th of January, the allied command
ers-inchef addressed letter upon the SUBJ

the dispositions of l05 men, lately taken from

THE GERMAN REPUBLICANS.
MILroRD. Mass. AnriI q

MILFORD, Mass, April Il, 1860.
Mr.. Editor Allow me to answer some of
the remarks you saw fit to make in regard to
the communication sent you, and which ap-
peared in the issue of yesterday. You say,
among other things =
No men In this country are more sincerely
and earnestly devoted to their principles than
the German republicans. No men who take
an interest IN American politics are more un-
der the control Of ideas AT the same time.
there are none who can more usefully study
the philosophy fthe practical side of politics.
none who show more OF that impractical habit
OF mind which refuses to do the work of to-
day, unless 1t can do along with it all the work
OF the country, or of the whole generation, at
the very least"
Those Germans who go with the republican
party are in sentiment, as believe you know.
decided abolitionists, at least nine tenths of
them. They have hitherto acted with the re-
publican party for mere PRACTICAL reasons.
Had they been perfectly "under the control OF
their own ideas, they would have never cor
porated with the republican party, in the con-
test of 1856, nor would they now. They do
not consider the principles of the republican
party by any means as finality, but merely as
the first step on the ladder OF true progress
And if any fault can be found with them, it
will be that they were not scrupulous enough,
and that their action seemed to be rather
inconsistent with their "ideas;" yet tenn
porary necessity may, perhaps, excuse this
apparent inconsistency. SO much for the "un-
practical habit of mud that refuses to do the
work Of to-day"
have studied to some intent "the philoso-
ply of the practical side Of American poll
ucs,D and during that study became partly
acquainted with the history of the "Whig
party which even the practical republicans Of
the present day might peruse with great profit
70 themselves. 1t teaches a very good lesson,

The disease prevailed more or less throughout

Three rowdes entered the Continental Ho-

the object of the attack was to bring out Aaron

The Cattle DIsense.

Commissioners Walker and Lathorp with
Drs. Thayer and Dadd, visited, yesterday,
some ten or dozen herds, in the neighborlood
of the infected district, in North Brooktield,
killing one animal in each herd. In three or
four of the herds they found marks of the dis
ease in the animals Killed. similar to some of
those before slaughtered But a majority of
the herds examined they found entirely free
from the disease, as far as they could discover.
They slaughtered heiter calf of Ebenezer
Mead, whose farm was near Leonard Stod-
dards, the original seat of the disease. and
found it infected. Mr.. Mead had been in the
habit for three or four mouths of working
among cattle of Alden Olmstead, which were
SO badly infected, and often when he went
home this calf would come and lick his frock
and he thought he caught the disease thereby.
In the herd of Mr.. Deland, in the neighbour
hood, they slaughtered fine looking OK. the
best he had, and found it diseased. Only one
or two other herds were found infected. al
though many were examined. The commits
sioners do not propose continuing the exalnin-
alton any further, Or taking any further steps
in the matter, until they have the proposed
consultation with the physicians, in Boston,
which takes place on Wednesday.

understanding that the entire vote shall be cast
for the candidate which stands the best chance
of defeating the republican nominee.

STATE Liquor AGENcY.-We are assured
that the rumor that the present state liquor
commissioner has failed to comply with the
requirements of the statutes is without foun-
dation in fact. The only complaint against
the management of Hon. Mr.. Porter made, we
believe, by interested parties, was that he has
not purchased the stock of liquors owned by
the former commissioner. There were legal
difficulties which prevented the purchase of
that stock, which relieved Mr. Porter from
that requirement of the statute. The appoint
ment of Mr.. Porter, we believe, is generally
regarded as one of the very best that could
have been made.-Ddily Advertiser, April 80.

The President Making.

In the democratic national convention OF
1852. Franklin Pierce was nominated after for
ty-nine ballotings His friends did not bring
forward his name until after forty seven bal
lots had been taken. On the forty eighth he
had SO votes His nomination was engineered
with great shrewdness. 1t was received by
the whole country with surprise, scarcely any
body having thought of him as one of those
who could; by any possibility, receive such a
nomination; yet it had been arranged, weeks
before the convention assembled. The Next
can war brotherhood, then fresh from the
fields OF glory" had taken the matter in hand
and made it successful. 1t was in that con-
vention that Mr.. Douglas was first seriously
presented as candidate for nomination, re-
ceiving 80 votes on the thirty-frst ballot. In
1856, there were seventeen ballots The first
stood, Buchanan 1876, Pierce l22, Douglas SO !;
and the sixteenth stood, Buchanan 168, Doug
las 122.
AT the present time, Douglas intends to have
the nomination or make trouble. He will not
withdraw until he is compelled to do so, and
not then probably without fight that may
break up the convention or divide it into
to two hostile regiments. He is desperate
and scruples at nothing he when has a
point to carry. All the probabilities seem
to be against him. We do not think
his nomination possible; and yet in some
unseen, unexpeo ted. mysterious way, he
may come up suddenly in manner that will
surprise everybody The chances, however,
seem to be altogether in favor of some such
man as Guthrie, if the guesses and specula.
tons that come to us from Charleston have
anything in them.

FORGERY AND SUIoIDE.-Stone, the lawyer
who killed himself with strychnine last Thurs
day morning at Plymouth, leaves quite large
amount of forged paper-trom $4,000 to
$4,000 in amount it is thought. The names
OF the sureties on his paper are all forged.
We understand that all the banks in Concord
have his notes, and the savings bank there has
a forged mortgage of some real estate owned
by Stones wife, to secure it she never signed
1t. A knowledge of his forgeries was becom-
ing too public, and he knew that the state
