The Resolutions of the Union League.

At meeting of the Union League yesterday
afternoon, the following resolutions were
adopted with reference to the death OF Hon.
Edwin NJ. Stanton:-
ReSOlUed, That the members of the Union
League of Philadelphia unite with the friends
of the country in the expression of the profound
sorrow for the death of Edwin NJ Stanton,
which we deplore as a national bereavement.
ResOlUed, That we remember with gratitude
the faithful and successful management of the
War Department of the Government by Mr..
Stanton. His fearless disregard of popular pre-
judices, and his firmness and honesty in the
performance of his duties, were as essential as
the army itself to the successful conduct of the
war, and contributed largely to preserve the life
of the nation. We remember and honor him
as power in the administration Of President
Lincoln which no adversely could paralyze,
which withstood the fiercest storms that ex-
pended their fury upon it, and which seemed
lifted up, as "a pillar of cloud by day and pillar
of fire by night" to confirm and strengthen the
faith of the American people in the great cause
OF human liberty.
Resolued, That we respectfully tender to the
family If Mr.. Stanton our warmest sympathy in
their addiction, and ask their acceptance of these
resolutions as tribute Of ourrespect for his me-
mory and of our appreciation of those public
services which render his name illustrious in the
history of nations.
ResolUed, That the Board of Directors be in
structed to forward copy OF the foregoing reso-
lutions to the family on behalf OF the League.

The Massachusetts, Board of Agriculture has
offered premiums of $780, 1925, and $75 for
treatises on roads and road making, in accord

The cigar manufacturers in Cincinnati in
sist that the price shall be reduced from one to
two dollars per thousand, and their strike
throws about three hundred journeymen out Of
employment:
Boston is desirous of making its crooked
paths straight, and has voted to widen, extend,
and straighten the principal thoroughfares, at a
cost of $2,300,000, proposing to proceed with
the work at once. The non-execution of the
Prohibitory law makes this seem desirable.
+ The Californlans are very unhappy because
the acoustic arrangements of the new Senate
and Assembly chambers are so defective that the
Legislators despair of ever being able to make
themselves heard. But surely that is not an
afiiiction without its compensations.

John Bull Does Not Object 10 Our AnnexIng

HaYIls
A late number of the London Times congratu-
lates the United States on the prospective acqui-
sition by us of the entire island of Hayti, and
draws the following gratifying picture of the
scheme-
"a population ten times as numerous as that
now existing and q trade fifty times as extern
siye as that now maintained, could easily be
supported by the island under good admins
tratiop. and such an administration the Ameri-
cans, above all other people in the world, are,
from their position. their resources, and their
character. competent to supply. OF course it is
not to be disguised that the acquisition of San
Domingo NAV be but the first step in the way of
apprandizement. That the conterminous terri
tory of Hayti must sooner or later be annexed to
the American Government on the island needs
no repeating; and that Cuba on one side and
Porto Rico on the other may ultimately pass
under the same rule, is at least not improbable.
In days, however, when the earth is thought to
be getting too small for its Inhabitants it ought
to be matter of unqualified satlsfactlon that one

We CLEAN the following items from tht
Gallatin Examiner Of yesterday:
Up to Tuesday morning six consecutive
white frosts have fallen, with ice each
night. Ponds we're frozen over Friday
night last.
The breadth Of corn land in this count '
will, We hear, be very large this year.
The farmers are backward in fuishing
sowing oats, We have heard Of no one
commencing corn planting.
We still hear Of large numbers of hogs
dying IN this county Of the cholera Ii is
especially disastrous in the western por-
ton.
Large numbers Of foe beef cattle have
been shipped north the past week or two.
We notice several of unusual weight and
condition.
The FRUIT.-We very much fear that
the chances for even a small Weld OF
peaches, plnms etc, are very small. At
this writing MONDAY morniDs) We have
had three hard, white frosts, and our in
quiries from citizens from every portion OF
our county but elicit the uniform reply.
that the fruit is nearly all if not wholly
killed. Possibly, however, in a very few
localities, a few blossoms NAV have
escaped the general blight. On
the north eide of the ridge, which
often escapes the frost when frnit in
the lOwlands is killed, we hear the same
story Of the disastrous effects of Jack
Frost. We may, however, have better
luck with the apples which are always be-
hind the peaches in blooming. We can
hear Of no damage to the wheat from the
excessive cold.
Per contra, on the peach question, we
hear from several of our farmers that a
good many peaches have escaped the late
