1t seems certain that the Queen intends

NAV be-whether the discomfort of the ar
istocracy and the West End tradesfoHks,
the attacks of the Times, or Her Majesty's
personal dissatisfaction with the perform

Princess of Whales-excites no little ques-

attributing it to the latter reason. On dit,
too, that she consents to reappear in order
to ask Parliament for an allowance to

General schencE,. sneeeh.

In General Schenck's brief speech at
Columbus On Tuesday evening, we find
the following very sensible and cogent
paragraph:
1t has seemed to me that there has been
a great deal of nonsensical talk about the
condition of the Southern States. I have
never troubled myself as to whether they
were in the Union or out of it. / have held
that the people of the South undertook to
rebel, and were subdued and put down /;
that the States representing those people
in an organized condition, madeithe same
effort, and were in like manner subdued.
In this condition they are compelled to
yield to the conditions of law imposed on
them.

Brigadier-G General E. N. Gregory, As
sistant Commissioner for the State of Tex
as, informs General Howard under date of
Galveston, December 9, that the planters,
farmers and business men generally report
ed to him, during a journey of some seven
hundred miles in THAT State, that the crops
were all garnered and that there was an
abundance, quite sufficient to meet the de-
mands of all, white and black, for the com
ing year. The cotton crops, he says, al
though about half the usual yield, wa so
well gathered, and commands such high
prices, that it will bring more wealth into
the State than any which has heretofore
been thrown in the market; and this, he
adds, was accomplished principally by the
labor of freedmen.

Mr.. Welsh, of Richland, opened tho af-
ternoon session in an earnest speech on a
resolution offered by him, in favor Of in
structing Congress against any speedy
contraction of the currency. Several gen.
tlemen approved the resolution, and it
was laid on the table.
Mr.. Joy, Of Delaware, from a commit
tee appointed in the morning to recon-
mend business to the Convention, reported
the following resolutions:
l. ResoLved, That the improvement of
Agriculture, Horticulture and Mechanics,
in their various departments, should be
the main and only object of County Soci-
cites. That all swings, shows, peddlers,
and everything whatsoever that tends to
divert the mind from the great object
sought to be accomplished, should be kept
not only from within our fair grounds,
but at a reasonable distance therefrom.
2. ResoLred That the social culture of
our people is eminently desirable, and that
our Fairs, properly managed, furnish OPP
portunities for such culture.
3. ResoLred That the great want of
American Agriculture, is a more general
and thorough mental culture of its vota-
ries that our sons and daughters should
be as thoroughly educated as those of
other professions.
4. Resolced, That County Commission
ers should be required by law to contribute
to County Agricultural Societies an
amount equal to what may be contributed
by individuals for the purchase and i'm
provement of Fair grounds.
3. ReSolUed, That we heartily concu in
the resolutions adopted by the Ohio Wool
Growers Association, asking Congress to
assess a tax of 81 upon all male, and IS
upon female dogs.
A long and dIverting discussion ensued
upon the first of these resolutions, when it
was rejected by a vote of yeas "a, nays 80.
The prevailing sentiment was, that county
societies should be left to carry out their
own views as to the conduct Of their So
cieties-some requiring devices of various
kinds to draw attention to them; others
hourishing best without them.
On the Sd resolution, relative to the
education of the votaries of Agriculture,
Mr.. Darwin E. Gardner, of Toledo, one
of the Commissioners appointed by the
Governor to report on the location Of the
Agricultural College, made a well-cen-
sidered and interesting speech, giving his
views and conclusions relative to the
Agricultural oOskge, and its location On

out more ado to discard the idea of consti-
tutional changes as the condition precedent
of the re-admission of the South to Con-
gress. That is the primary step toward
reconstruction, practically considered, and
we should be prepared to take it on the
ground of existing rights, subject only to
the lawful test of individual fitness. To
talk of wholesale and almost indiScriminste
punishment as preliminary measure-to
call for concessions implying the relation Of
supplicants petitioning for favors, instead
of citizens insisting upon their rights-to
demand confession of interiority with one
breath, while with another admitting the
existence of constitutional equality-is to
aggravate feelings already much too bitter,
and to multiply difficulties which the Joint
Committee have thus far vainly endeavor
ed to overcome. ..
