NESTING OF THE UNITED STATES AGRICuL-
TURAL. SocIETY-SEcoYD DAYeThe society
reassembled at the Smithsonian Institution at
ten o'clock yesterday morning, and was called
to order by Josiah W. Ware, Esq, President
As on the first day, the meeting was rather
slimy attended. ......
The committee appointed to examine the
annual report of the Treasurer reported that
they had made full and careful examination
into the accounts as far back as January l,
1860 Satisfactory vouchers for all money dis.
bursed had been presented The committee
also recommended, after having carefully con.
sidered the subject of travelling exhibitions Of
this society, and in view Of the present condi.
ton of the country, and the expense attending
these exhibitions, that they be discontinued for
the ensuing year.
Mr. Merryman, of Maryland, moved that SO
much of the report as referred to the Treasur-
er's accounts be adopted, and the remainder
referred to the Executive Committee.
Mr.. Calvert, Of Maryland, was in favor of
adopting the report in full, and particularly
that portion of it relating to disseminating the
exhibitions.
Mr.. Jones, of Delaware, had few words to
say in relation to the report. He, too, was op-
posed to- these travelling exhibitions. Since
they had been established, the cows had given
no more MILK the sheep had grown no fatter.
No department Of agriculture had been bene-
fitted. The horse racers reaped more benefit
than any one else. If an agricultural depart
ment had been established here, as it should
have been, we would have had different state
of things. This Patent Office Bureau was a
disgrace to the nation. They wanted an Agri-
cultural Department Nothing else would an.
swer the purpose. ...
! Mr.. Merryman was willing to admit that, if
they could get permanent location in Wash
ington, it would be better than holding these
travelling exhibitions. But he saw no chance
of such u thing at present. During the last
two years, notwithstanding they had two ex-
hibitions, they had paid debt Of several hun.
dred dollars, aud had now $4,000 in the treas
ury, besides doing great deal of good in the
places where the exhibitions had been held.

an election of officers, and that they vote by

Quite a spirited debate ensued on this mo.
ton, but it was finally agreed to.
