GRAPE NTs.-Grapes coming in bear
ing should not be permitted to perfect large
crops of fruit while young. 1t is excusable
to fruit bunch or so on q young vine,
''just to test the kind" but no more should
be permitted until the vine has age and
strength. Vigorous growth, and great pro-
ductiveness, are the antipodes of the veget-
able world. Encourage as much foliage as
possible on the vines, and aim to have as
strong shoots at the base as at the top of
the cane; this can be done by pinching out
the points of the strong shoots after they

THE Hon, J. Stanton Gould, President,
and Col B. P. johnson, Secretary of the
Newly rk State Agricultural Society, have
prepared a most important circular, from
which the following extract is taken: 'sWe
do hereby make known the existence of
rinderpest,I7 or pleuro- pneumonia, among
the COWS in the stables of New York and
Brooklyn, and earnestly advise, all pur-
chasers of stock to examine those which are
offered for sale, with reference to this
disease. We also advise that, in case the
disease make it's appearance in any herd,
the sick animal be at once and rigidly sep
arated from the rest The period of incu-
baton of this disease varies from forty-two
to sixty days 1t is well ascertained that
this disorder is strictly infectious. 1t never
occurs where the animal has not come into
contact with diseased animal The meat
of animals suffering from pleuro-pneumonia
is dangerous when used as human food. It
is very probable that the diseased herds,
which are now being excluded from the
city, will be offered for sale at very low
prices to farmers This contingency calls
for additional precautions on the part of
purchasers"

The soldiers in the Convention.

We were pleased to meet so many
soldiers, of the late army, in the city,
last night, who are here to attend the
Convention to-day. There will be
many more in on the trains and pack
cts this morning. The soldiers have
not forgotten the cause for which they
took up arms; and are determined
that the victories which they achieved
shall be made substantial successes.
1t is no time now to surrender the
cause to the enemy. The blood so
freely shed, and the money so laEishly
expended, must not be in vain. The
soldiers are in earnest in their deter
mination to keep the control of the
Government in the hands of loyal and
true men, and will see to it, to-day,
that good standard bearers are Sc
lected to make this important cam
paign against the disorganizers, cop
perheads, and rebels.

What is to become of the Union
Democracy who support HoBsoN?
Are they to be left out in the cold?
The conservatives, too, are they to
have no voice in the selection Of dele
gates? We apprehend that the County
Conventions for the appointment of
delegates to the Philadelphia show,
will prove very interesting indeed, if
the opposing factions in Kentucky
who indorse President JOHNSON and
his policy, or pretend to, meet together.
We can imagine the HoBsoN men and
the DUVALL men-the secession Dem
ocrats and the Union Democrats-who
are denouncing each other with bit
terness, particularly unpleasant, as
sembled in solemn council to select
individuals to represent them in
Philadelphia! Of course there would
be an exciting struggle to ascertain
which party should choose the dele
gates-a struggle that could only re-
suit in a split, or in having somebody
badly misrepresented. Possibly it is
to avoid unpleasantness of this des-
cription that has induced the " Demo-
cratic Central Committee of Hender-
son County" to lead off in order to ig-
more the other supporters of Mr..
JoHNsoN's policy in that District.

The Convention To-Day.

The arrival of delegates last even
ing insures a good attendance at the
District Convention, which is to as
semble at the Court House this morn
ing at 10 o'clock. We feel confident
eyery County in the District will be
represented, except it be Dubois. A
meeting was held in the latter County
and delegates appointed, who, we
trust, will be present this morning.
Among the delegates already arrived,
we notice many gallant soldiers who
served in the army to put down re-
bellion.
They all express themselves as de-
cidedly opposed to permitting rebels
over whom they triumphed in the
field to come into power, and help to
make laws for the government of
honest and patriotic men.
We trust Vanderburgh County will
be properly represented in the Con-
vention. Our people should turn out
not only to manifest the interest they
feel in the success of the Union party,
but also to hear some of the excellent
speeches that may be expected.
We believe it is the earnest desire
of all the delegates to select the very
best man for Congress. The delegates
from Vanderburgh and Posey Coun-
ties also have the important duty be-
fore them of nominating candidates
for the Legislature. 1t is very i'm
portant that good men be selected for
those positions.
With harmonious and enthusi-
astic Convention, good candidates,
and a determination on the part of
every Union man to do his whole
duty, the First Congressional District
may be redeemed from so-called
Democratic representation in Con-
gress, and a gain of several Union
members be make in the next Legis-
lature. m IL. - t " III

printing reported, recently, in favor
of printing fifty thousand extra copies
eOf the majority and minority reports
on reconstruction. In the House, the
resolution was amended SO as to pro-
vide for printing one hundred thous-
and copies and binding them together
in one pamphlet. Against the propo-
sition to bind them together the Dem
ocrats voted in an almost solid body.

At meeting of representatives of the
numerous insurance companies who suf-
fered by the Portland fire, they appointed
a committee to revise the rates of insur-
anee, with instructions to increase the
tariff fifty per cent, and also adopted a
resolution, recommending insurance COM
panies throughout the country to use
their influence to secure the passage of
laws, against the use of fire-crackers
wherever policies of insurance are issued.
When the companies increase their
rates and get things so arranged that
there viii be little or no risk, we ap-
prehend they will find the people very
generally doing their own insurance.
We dare say many of The companies
will more than makeup their losses by
the Portland fire by the effect it will
have in inducing everybody to insure.
1t is well known that large fires al
ways produce such result.

The News from Europe.

Received in our early dispatches,
seemed to indicate that peace was not
so near as anticipated, after the over
whelming defeat of the Austrians, but
the later dispatches, by the Africa,
render the future more uncertain.
While the Allies are reported to have
accepted the proposals for an armis-
tice, the Prussian army seems to be
pushing up its advantages; and the
willy Frenchman appears to be en-
inently satisfied. He is evidently
master of the situation. France
is thoroughly prepared for war,
and NAPOLEON holds the desti-
MES Of Europe in his own hands,
almost as absolutely as ever did his
great uncle. His ambition is great,
and we are prepared to hear of bold
measures on his part He can hardly
let the present opportunity pass with
out greatly altering the map of Eu-
rope, and that for his own aggran-
disement, and the extension of his
Empire. a2f ss9.i

The Tariff.

A matter of legislation which was
likely to exercise considerable infu-,
ence ON the prices of imported mer-
chandise, as we'll as articles of home
manufacture, the amended Tariff, has
been postponed to the December ses-
sion of Congress. We are glad to
see this action, for the bill as reported
by the Committee had several objec
tionable features, which may be re-
moved before it is finally passed. The
great object which our legislators
should have in view, is to frame such
a Tariff as will yield the most income,
to be appropriated towards the pay
ment of the interest and the gradual
reduction of the principal of our large
debt. And it is a we'll settled princi-
pie of political economy that it is not
always the highest import tax which
produces the largest revenue. The
duty on foreign goods may be so great
that it will amountto an absolute pro-
hihition, as is the case now with the
article of paper. In enacting laws re-
lating to the national finances, we
must now look mainly to the duty of
reducing our public Indebtedness and
bringing our currency, and conse-
quently prices of all kinds, back
to firm and stable grounds. We have
other and more important questions
involved, than the protection of any
particular manufacturing district, or
local interest. Our legislators must
frame such laws as will ultimately re-
suit in the tightening of the taxes,
by the reduction of our public debt,
rather than the building up of East
ern manufactures, Pennsylvania iron
and coal men, or Western woorgrow-
ers. They have other work to do
rather than foster rich companies and
combinations, which are never salts :
fed. The more privileges. they
are granted, the greater are their de-.
mands.
There was a strange combination of
interests and parties in the vote on the
final postponement of the Tariff Bill
in Congress- The West has no
special interest in tariff, except that
it is made a source of revenue to the
National Treasury, but many of its
representatives of both parties voted
for it. One cause of it was the strong
lobby interest of the heavy combina-
ton of Western wool growers. Among
the men who advocated its postpone
ment were the Massachusetts Senators.
The Pennsylvania delegation voted
solid for the immediate passage of the
bill, because it highly favored the
iron and coal interest. Our own Re
preventative, Mr. NIBLAcK, is found
voting with the Pennsylvanians for
this high tariff which has been the
bugbear cf his party for half CEN
fury We may have occasion to re-
fer again to his vote on the provision
of the bill, which was so clearly an
tagonistic to the interests of his con-
stituents. Should he be so unfortu-
nate as to be the nominee of GREENE's
Convention next week, he will have
enough to answer for in his Congress
sional and public record, without any
needless embarrassment now to his
friends who are pressing his claims.
