HOUSATONIC VALLEY MILK ASSO-
 CLAYTON.

The Housatonic Valley Milk Association held meeting at Kent, May 29th, N. Hart, Esq, President. The attendance of the members was very large, and all the topics brought up, were thoroughly dis, cussed The Committee consisting o1 Messrs. Hall, Hart and Brewster, who had just returned from New York, made full report of the state of the milk enterprise.
 From their statements, it appears, that though there is some trouble from strong milk and sour milk, yet there is no diff culty in curing the milk properly, so that it will arrive in perfect order, and give en- tire satisfaction to the consumers.
 After discussion upon the return of cans, the following resolution was passed:
 Resoloed, That the Executive Committee be authorized to employ a man for 8 time not to exceed six weeks,) to go to New York, to look up the cans and see to their prompt return in proper condition, to ex- amino the quality of the milk, and attend to any other matters of interest pertaining to the business of the Association, and tc report twice week to the Vice President at each station.
 The care of cans and curing the milk were discussed at length by various mem. bers. The following resolutions were then passed unanimously:
 Iteso!0ed, That this Association will sus tain J. N. Baker & Co.,, in rejecting all milk which comes in in bad order, other than those exceptional cases which occur with most dairymen.
 ResoIoed, That we deem it necessary to the successful prosecution of the business to exclude all persons from sending, whose milk comes ill bad order, after giving them fair notice and proper instruction.
 Resoloed, That there should be good understanding between this Association and our agents, J. M. Baker lS Go. That 1t is our right to be recognized, and that VIC invite and promise cooperation in de- yeloping the milk business.
 Resol0ed, That the Vice President at each station be instructed to ascertain the temperature of all the springs in use-to examine the conveniences for curing milk, of all who are sending it, whether mem bers of the Association or not, and any thing peculiar in the management of the milk on the part of any individual, and re- port the same to the President. -,.
 Resolced, That we accept tho report of our President and Executive Committee, and that we hereby express our confidence in tho integrity and untiring industry of our agents, and that we pledge ourselves to sustain them by all proper means, in the curing and delivery, of milk by all who are engaged Tn the business; to the end that the milk produced and marketed by the Housatonic Valley Milk Association, shall maintain its present high standard for pu- rlty, richness and good keeping qualities.
 The meeting then adjourned si,ae die.

alona, Is hefors them AK would the
rebels ever consent to tax themselves
to make an appropriation to pay PEN
sions to Northern soldiers unless
theirs were provided for also? 1t
would be contrary to human nature.
They would insist that the rebel SOL
der be placed upon the same level,
the same platform, with the Union
soldier, or else no appropriation
should be made at all. 1t would be
contrary to the first principle of hu-
man nature that these men should
consent TO tax themselves and the
whole country, to pay the. pension OF
Union soldiers, while their own COM
rades in arms, and their widows in
poverty are unprovided for. Conse-
| duently it is the necessary result of q
diers be placed upon the same plat
form with the Union soldier. They
would not only become his
equal, but superior by the domination
of the Democratic party. [ do not I'M
derstand how Union soldier can ex-
pect to become an associate politically
with the mass of the rebel soldiers.
l don't understand how he can con-
sent to rally under that party banner
that is sustained by the rebels, by the
men of the North who didn't sympa-
thlze with him against those whom
he was fighting. a Union soldier is
therefore out Of place, and / tell him

heart is with the soldiers, [ tell him

sake of votes. They may even

him for turning traitor to the prin-
ciples for which he fought Zap
plause.] Now, my friends, we all have
duty to perform. Our soldiers went
to the field; they left families and
friends; they left home, comforts and
pleasure; they went to the field, and
risked everything. What did they
do it for? They didn't do it for a
! spree, for the fun of the thing. But
they thought they were fighting for
something; for the preservation of
the Republic and certain great
principles. If this Union is worth
fighting for, it is surely worth pre-
serving. 1t would be the very ex-
treme of folly after fighting for this
Union, to come home and in time Of
peace yield all up at the polls. If il
is q good cause, stand up for that
cause when you come home cheers
for the work is not done.
You are now in that peculiar stage
when the fruits Of the struggle of tbs
last eight years may be lost by the
loss of an election. The work will

are not only reconstructed but have

lished upon a loyal basis. When thai
is done, your work is done. The work
is now only in the third stage of the

A FAMILY JAR.
The Democracy Not Harmonious.

By dispatches to the Cincinnati pa
pers, we learn that the Democracy in
the interior of our State are not as
harmonious as they are here on the
border, in the shadow Of Kentucky.
Adopting FRANK BLAIR's tactics,
they have deposed the Chairman of
their State Central Committee, APP
pointed by the last State Convention,
declaring him to be Unconstitutional,
null and void" and put another in
his place. Mr.. DEvRLIN, however.
don't submit easily, and goes for the
whole pack with spirit. We give the
facts as we find them in the Cincin-
natl Commercial: .H
INDIANAPOLIS, Sept. 13.-The little
misunderstanding between the Pen
dleton and Hendricks wings of the
Indiana Democracy, that had its
origin at the New York Convention,
has eliminated in the removal of LATE
Develin, the Pendleton chief mana
ger in Indiana, from the Craftsmanship
of the Democratic State Central Com
mittee, and the substitution of the
Hon. Joseph Mcdonald, a warm per-
sonaf friend of Senator Hendricks.
The friends of the latter gentleman
first forced Mr.. pevelin to sell the
Sentinel, the organ of the Democratic
party In Indiana, and now they have
attempted to disgrace him with the
party by removing him from the chair
manship of the State Central Com
mittee. Late, however, is full of fire,
aud proposes to fight back. He is
the editor and proprietor of paper
called the MifTor, published at Cam
| bridge City, from which he has taken
the Democratic State ticket, and
opened a war upon Mr.. Mcdonald,
| his successor who has been the in
strument of the Hendricks men in
this controversy.
The business off managing the
Democratic campaign IS now in the
hands of a committee composed Of
Joseph X. Mcdonald, heavy specu-
lator during the war; Riley Hogshire,
an ex-substitute broker, and DR.
| Athon, who was to succeed Governor
| Morton, in case the Governor was
murdered by the Sons of Liberty
This unexpected attack on the part OF
Devehn has created great sensation
among the Democrats here, as it is
well known that Develin possesses a
considerable popularity among the
I'VE men of the party, and it is feared
tnat TINS continued persecution on the
part OF the Hendricks faction will
create a sympathy in his favor. An
effort will be made to hush the mat
ter up, but Develin is full Of fight,
and may not be so easily souelched as
the leaders suppose. -
Mr.. DEvELIN's opposition to the
Democratic State ticket will swell the
Republican majority several thousand
in the old Burnt District.

A Few Words TO soldiers

Centerville, devoted a portion of it
exclusively to the Soldiers. We copy
what he said to them, trusting that
the Soldiers of this county and dis

upon the truths they express. The
Governor said:
If there is any man here who was a
Soldier In the army, and fought to put
down this rebellion, who is inclined
to vote the Seymour ticket, let me ask
that Soldier kindly, if he is not in
strange company. / ask, who were

Does it mead 1ight?"
1t means s.rIlply this, that the Dem
ocrats and Conservatives of Indiana
intend to have a pedcedLle election at
al hazards.
1t means that the Democrats and
Conservatives have as much right to
the expression at the polls of their
political preference as niggcrs and
Radicals, and intend to exercise that
right. - 1888
1t means that Democrats and Con-
servatives intend to see that every
man, regardless of his political opin-
ions, is allowed to cast his vote.
1t means that the disgraceful scenes
OF 1864, when ex-Mayor Baker dared

1t means, should the Radicals at
tempt to overawe the people with
