"Some recent suggestions about the fit

the management of IA great agricultural
department, have revived few OF the
pleasant stories wEerewith, every winter,
the old gentleman unconsciously amuses

IA subcommittee of ways and means, to
explain the unaccountable expenses of his
department. How comes it, Mr.. New
ton, asked Justin 5. Morrill,, that the
expenses of your department have overrun
your estimates so much Leaning over
the table, and thrusting his finger through
Mr.. Morril's button-hole, the benevolent
looking old man said, in his lowest and
most impressive tones, 'The truth is, Mr..
Morrill,, the expenses of my department
for the past year, have surpassed my most
sanguine expectations = The explanation
was too good to keep, and Mr.. Morrill,
himself told it."

The Weeks Family Meeting.

The Weeks Family Meeting.
MIR. EDITOR AS a matter of interest
to at least some portion of your readers l
send you the following sketch of the recent
Weeks Family Meeting:
The meeting was held, according to the
announcement of circular sent to all the
family some months before, at the resi-
dence of Ebenezer Weeks, Esq, in Sails
bury, on Thursday, the 18th inst.
The persons in attendance were the de-
cendants of Holland Weeks, who for many
years was resident of Salisbury and who
died in that town. At his death he lief
large family of children; and very nat
urally at this day is represented in great
number of descendants. Many Of these
are now living in Vermont, but perhaps
more are scattered throughout the differ
ent States of the Union.
The design of these meetings-held
once in five years-is t. bring these des-
cendants together, to keep alive socia
family feeling and to preserve the history
and genealogy of the family. And here
It might be added that although it is the
main object of these reunions to bring to-
gether the descendants of Holland Weeks,
yet any of the collateral branches of the
family will be gladly welcomed by the
friends; and i. may be that an effort will,
yet be made to embrace in these quinten-
NAL gatherings, all those connected with
the family by more remote ties of relation
ship, those who belong to the family but
are not Haediy descended from Holland
Weeks.
Six of the gatherings have already tax
en- place, and the one just held more than
fulfilled the interest bespoken for it in the
success of those which had gone before.
The day was particularly favorable, as
fine as September air and sun could make
it; the people were all in the proper spir-
it for the occasion, and the house OF which
the reunion took place war open, as ever,
with its genial Inequalities
After the arrival of all who were ex-
pected, the assemblage, numbering about
hundred, repaired to the meeting house,
which was but few steps distant to par
ticipate in the religious exercises of the
day and 10 listen to the address prepared
for the occasion, The meeting was call
ed to order by Mr.. Henry L. Sheldon :;
and DIR. Shumway, of Essex, n. Y, was
called to the chair. The services were
opened by singing an appropriate Anthem.
The Divine Blessing was then evoked by
Rev. Mr.. Steele, Of Middlebury, VT, fol-
lowed by Rev. Mr. Graves, also of Mid
dlebury, in reading appropriate selections
from Holy Scripture; after which was
sung another anthem, set to those we'll
known words: "The breaking waves
dashed high" &c. The address was de-
livered by the Rev. Samuel Robinson, of
Springfield, N. Y. The subject chosen
was, "The Home, the School, and the
Church" The manner in which the
three topics here presented were handled
by Mr.. Robinson, called forth expressions
of much satisfaction and praise from his
auditors.
The address was plain yet well fin
ished production, full ofyaluable thoughts
and suggestions, showing at once the fam
iliarity of the orator with lis theme and

give the entire moral force of the example
of New England in favor of no color re-
striction. The suffrage question will al
most certainly become very prominent
national question in the next session Of
Congress, but it is hardly to be presumed
that the national Legislature will impose
on the subjugated states a system which,
with them, will be 80 radical in its effects,
but which the loyal states are not willing
to adopt. Out of New England, nearly
all the states make color in more or less
degree a disability, and such is the preju-
dice in the Middle and Western States
that there is hardly a possibility that they
will very soon adopt universal suffrage,
or force it upon others.
We hope that the suffrage question will
be agitatcd until the true merits of it are
known and familiar to the people gener-
ally and when it comes to conclusive
action we trust that all our
people will see that the only sensible
and safe way is to make no distinction Of
color, but to require qualifications that
will ensure that every voter has fitness
for the high trust, and that these qualif-
cations include considerable degree of
intellectual cultivation. 1t may be inn
possible ever to disfranchise any body, bpt
certain it is that any further introduction
of ignorance to the ballot-box cannotibe
done with safety, and we feel confident
that full discussion of the subject would
tend to cnlighten the people on subject
most vital to our future welfare.

DEMOCRACY.

The impudence with which Democrat
ic conventions and journals proceed to
adopt President johnson as their man, to
approve all his doings and almost engage
that whatever policy he may adopt shall
receive their support, is extremely refresh
ing but the late New York Democratic
convention has gone still further. 1t ig-
nores everything that ever was distinctly
characteristic of the party-mskes II plat
form that no Republican can object to
-gulp down all they have said in oppos-
ition to the war and make their own re-
cord to read all right on that point, --in-
deed a person not instructed in current
politics might suppose that they had been
the only true Union war party; and fin
ally TO close the thing up by nominating,
for Secretary of State, a staunch Repub-
lcan. In short, they have boldly march,
ed into the Republican camp and squat
ed there. The Republicans of that state
are completely dazed by the suddenncss
and audacity of the movement, and are
waking up to tue fact that they must do
something besides quarrel with one an
Other about offices. if they expect to have
anything to quarrel about.

A CATTLE PLAGUE IN New YORK.
The terrible disease among cattle has at
last made its appearance in this country,
and already number of mich cows in
this city have fallen victims to the NAL
ady. At least one hundred cases are re-
ported. Horses, mules and hogs are
liable to the disease, but SO far as we
can learn, only cattle have been attacked.
The disease resembles erysipelas, the at
tackled part swelling up, sometimes under
the breast, at other times on the side OF
the throat, the victim dying in from
twenty-four to forty-eight hours, in great
agony. 1t is thought by many that the
great amount of poison which is absorbed
into the system by the bite of the gnat, a
most poisonous insect,-which has made
its appearance here,-is developing itself
into the disease. Some cases, when TIA
ken in time, are cured by precisely the
same treatment practiced in cases of cry
sipelas, painting with iodine the affected
parts having great effect The diseases
is very dangerous, and those attending
cases should be very careful not to expose
themselves too much, as they are liable
to be attacked as the cattle themselves

the late session, which will please white
and black citizens on an equality. as it re-
CARDS their qualifications as voters. This
amendment is to be submitted to the peo-
pie. This is emphatically a democratic
move, but we find the Democratic party
arraying all IFS strength against it, and
not improbably the amendment may be
defeated. So much for a name.

abate nothing of what we said by way of

Meeting of Bank Officers.

A meeting of Bank officers representing
eighteen National Banks of Vermont, was
held in Burlington, on the 18th inst, at
which the following resolutions were pass
ad:
ReSolcetl, I hat the business of the State
requires an increase of Bank Capital.
when shall secure additional circulation,
and that our representatives in Congress
he requested to procure an amendment
of the National Banking law for that pur-
pose.
Resol'ed, That the Legislature of this
State is respectfully memorialized to pass
law by which the holders of the bills of
State Banks, whose charters have expir-
ed, or otherwise become dissolved by law.
shall be required, within some reasonable
time, to present such bills for redemption
or be deprived of any legal remedy to en-
force the same.
Hesohed, That while we cordially ap-
prove the provision of the National Cur
rency Act, which requires every Country
National Bank to redeem its bills at some
National Bank in one of the certain en-
umerated cilic. and will in good faith
sustain the sanA, we are opposed to, and
will unitedly, resist any effort by GER
tain banks in some of such cities,
to compel us to redeem in any other man
ncr, in such cities, and thereby become
tributary to such banks.
Resol,ed, That the proceedings of this
convention be published in circular form
and attested by the signatures of the
President and Secretary, and copy fur
nished each bank in New York and Bos-
ton, to each Representative and Senator
in Congress from this State, and to the
newspaper press of the State.
Resolred, That committee of three
be appointed to call a meeting of the Ma.
tional Banks of this State, at such time
and place as they may deem proper.
