SEED BARLEY FOR DISTRIBUTION.
The Commissioner of Agriculture has
just received, direct from Hamburg,
three very superior varieties of bar
ley, selected for the purposes of the
department from over one hundred
samples exhibited at the agricultural
fair at Stettin, Germany, last year,
which are now ready for distribution
in small quantities to such as may
desire to improve this important crop,
no other seed being as susceptible of
improvement in this country as bar
ley imported from Europe.

WAR-CIoUDs IN EuRoPE.-As Aus

Prussia, it is anticipated that the lat

against Austria. It is said that all
the Austrian troops in Bohemia have
been ordered to Attona, which is the
principal city Of Holstein, close to
Hamburg, and that Prussia has Or
dered three army corps to be got rea-
dy for active service at once. If Aus
tria gets involved in q war with Prus-
sia, the annexation of Venetia to the
Kingdom of Italy may be expected,

BISHOP LYNCH TO BE A CARDINAL.
The New York Tribune, not in a very
good humor, says:
cit is now regarded as certain that
at the next Papal Consistory, one of
the Bishops of the United States will
be created Cardinal. According to
the prevalent opinion in Rome, this
distinction is to be conferred, not
upon any of the Bishops who, during
the war, showed warm sympathy
for the cause of the Union, nor upon
any one of those who kept pro-
found silence on the national ques-
tion, nor upon any of the seven Arch
bishops, but upon the especial envoy
from Jefferson Davis to Rome-Bi-
shop Lynch, of Charleston. Of
course, this opinion rests only on
rumors, and may yet turn out to be
without foundation.

How O'MAHoNEY WILL TAKE IRE

Cotton and Corn,

A Macon exchange states that little
or no corn will be raised in the South
this year, owing TO the erroneous
profits which are expected to be real
lied from the growth of cotton. In
view of the fact that the South must
buy all the breadstuffs it needs, the
same paper says: "The West must
now feed us; and, if the freedman
turn out to be q faithful laborer, the
trade between the South and West
will exceed anything before known. :"
There is scarcely any doubt but
that the South will devote its whole
energies to the raising of cotton. It
cannot possibly cost more than eight
cents pound in gold to grow it,;
while, if the crop turns out at all fair,
it must sell for over twenty-five cents
a pound in gold. So large and so
certain margin is rarely offered for
an agricultural product, and all ac-
counts agree that, with the freedmen
or without them, very large amount
will be raised If the season is at all
propitious.
So great is the demand for white
labor to go to the Southwest, that
there is an absolute scarcity of farm
hands at the West, Notwithstanding
the stoppage of the war; and wages
rule so high that farmers are holding
meetings to induce laborers to come
from the East. Indeed, there is a
fear that the high price of labor, and
the rates charged for transportation
of freight on the railroads, will dis
courage the growth of breadstufs
this year, when they will be much
needed to feed the South.
The heavy trade which will spring
up next summer and fall between the
South and West will have important
political, as we'll rs business conse-
quences. 1t will give great activity
to the ship-yards to supply the inn
mense fleet of steamers which will be
needed on the Southern rivers to re-
place those destroyed by the war;
while cities like St. Louis, Memphis,
Cincinnati and Louisville will add
enormously to their trade
The more intimate commercial re-
lations between the South and West
will not be without their influence on
the fall elections. If the present
Congress persists in keeping the
South out of the Union, the West
will be revolutionized politically when
Congressman are to be chosen. The
Western people are too generous, as
well as too shrewd, to needlessly hui
initiate the section which will be their
best customer.-NeacY York Grain and
Flour Reporter.

A Readable Debate i'm Congress.

-
offered resolution to appropriate
$25, 900 to the destitute negroes in
the District of Columbia, Mr. Sauls-
bury offered an amendment appro-
priating like sum for the relief of
the destitute white people of the
District, to be appropriated under
the direction of the Mayor of Wash
ington.
Mr.. Morrill, said no appeal had
been made to the committee in be-
half of the poor white people of the
District, and he thought the Senator
was paying a very poor compliment
to them to ask for such an appropria-
ton. The poverty and helplessness
of these poor colored people was
well known. He would SUI ggest to
the Senator to withdraw his amend
ment.
Mr.. Salisbury said that he had no
doubt that there were hundreds and
thousands of poor colored people in
the District, but he never walked
Pennsylvania Avenue that he was not
solicited by poor little white girls and
boys for aims There were thousands
of whites in the District to-day who
were just as helpless as the blacks.
We were told that when slavery was
abolished in this District it was to be
converted into paradise. 4 very
graphic picture of that paradise has
just been drawn by the Senator from
Maine (Mr. MorrilD. He did not see
so much destitution among the ne
groes of this District. Day after day,
when he looked up into these gale
ries, he saw hale, hearty, young
colored men, viewing the proceedings.
And how few poor young white men
are able to do that! All he asked
was that the same feeling of humani-
ty should be displayed towards our
own race as towards the negro.
Mr.. Wiley suggested to the Sena-
tor from Delaware that it would meet
his views to strike out the word
colored, so as to leave the appropria-
ton to be divided amongst all desti-
tute people.
Mr.. Salisbury declined to with
draw his amendment. If the money
was to be expended under the direc-
ton of the Mayor of Washington,
he would have no objection; but
every one knew that if the Commis-
sioner of the Freedmen's Bureau had
the dispoal of it, none but negroes
would receive any portion Of il.
The amendment was lost.
MI. Wiley moved to amend by
striking out the word s'colored' from
the resolution; which was agreed to.
Mr.. Davis offered an amendment,
rs an additional section, that the
corporate authorities of the District
be authorized to find proper employ
ment for the able-bodied olored and
black persons, and that SIS, 900 be ap-
prepriated for such purpose.
Mr.. Kirkwocd moved to strike out
the word "black." He did not see
why white people should not work as
well as black. Laughter. Adopted.
Mr.. Nesmith moved an amend
ment so as to exclude members of
Congress from those for whom the
city authorities shall find employ
ment. Laughter.
Mr.. Nesmith's and Mr.. Davis's
amendments were lost. After which,
the appropriation was passed.

PRESIDENTIAL APPOINTMENTS The
Journal Of Commerce intimates that
changes in Office will probably soon
be made. Mr. Johnson has waited
quite long enough in taking his stand
against Northern radicalism, and has
not spoken moment too soon. AS a
general rule, it is desirable to make
few changes in public offices, pro-
vided the men who fill them are
known to be honest and capable.
But In times like the present, when
the worst dangers to the Cove. nment
are from the radical revolutionary
party, it would seem to be impossible
tor the President to permit the use of
large official patronage against his
own measures, and in favor of the
destructionists. 1t is subject of
immediate practical importance. Here
In New York and near this city some
OF the most valuable offices, employ
ing many voters, and having extensive
influence in political circles, are held
by men who make no scruple of de-
nouncing the President in their daily
conversations, and in the whole sweep
OF their official influence. The same
IS true in other localities It is a
misfortune that holders have so
much political power; but it is fact
not to be overlooked, and the Pre-
s1dent probably understands it.

ENGLAND WAXING Up. - "Agrapes,
the London correspondent Of the Boston
Traveller, writes to that journal under
date OF July 18th, as follows
The arrival of the Miautonomah and
her stay in English waters has created
an undisguised alarm in the English
mind and it is not unlikely that the re-
suit Will be that although a conserva-
tive cabinet is now in power, it will sig
nallze its accession by series of radical
progressive measures, involving no less
than the placing of the breech- loading
rife in the hands of the whole English
Army, and the commencement of fleet
constructed avowedly on the American
model. The needle gun in Germany and
the monitors in America have at length
convinced the English that they are
some years behind the rest of the world :;
and although they do not concede with
a good grace that the Flooding German
can excel them in anything practical,
and make wry faces over anything
which looks like Yankee superiority, yet
they have to do it; and even the Times
comes boldly out and says that our navy
is superior, without the slightest qualifl-
cation, to that of England. 1t would
gladly brighten the nation with hints,
if that would do; but hints do
not penetrate deeply enough into the
pachydermatous English hide, and hence
it is necessary to speak right out and to
say, the American navy is now the first
in the world, and with a single one of
its ships, could send theirs one by one
to the bottom. 1t is admitted that the
Miantonomah could conquer Great Brit
ain in detail; that there exists no power
adequate to check her devastations had
her errand been warlike and not peace
full. This language, fully out.spoken in
quarters most hostile to us, is extremely
grateful to American ears and I doubt
not every countryman of ours has telt
new pride on hearing what the English
think OF the formidable ship lately an
chored in their waters.
