New-York tribune., 1870-05-27

The House votes to-day on the bill to en-
force the XVIII Amendment as submitted by
the Conference Committee. There will be the
same wordy protest of the Democracy in the
House which proceeded from that party in the
Senate. But the measure is fixed there is no
hope of defeating it except by its evasion at
the polls. That the New-YOrk Democracy will
do their best to find some method of accom-
plshing this we may be sure. The alarm ex-
pressed in the City Hall at tho bare report of
rhe original measure in the Senate sufficiently
indca tes their apprehension and desperation.

There were some of the amendments to the
Northern Pacific Railroad bill which we should
have reiOiced to see adopted. But we are not
disposed to murmur at their failure and we
gladly accept the good that Congress has sent
us without criticism. The Company has now
the additional authority which it asked for,
and the public expect the Northern road to
people the great Northwest, making its vast
wildernesses soon to blossom like those of
Kansas and Colorado along the Union
Pacific. Its completion-even its com
mencement- will swell the tide of
German and Scandinavian emigration
until Minnesota and Dakota will be as popu-
lous with those hardy and fruitful races as
Wisconsin already is. And low, gentlemen,
give us also the southern route to the Western
sea. The Southern Pacific Road will accom-
plish for Texas, Arkansas, and Lower CaifOr-
mia all that the Union Pacific has done for
Kansas and Colorado, at the cheap cost of

Gen. Negley of Pennsylvania seldom makes
speeches, but in the House his votes and action
are generally right. His brief remarks yester-
day to the agent of the English shipbuilders
who oppose the revival of American naviga-
ton, that American apologists for English
"offenses could only be regarded as accessory
thereto" was at once terse and true. If the
manner in which he supported his opinions by
knocking down the insulting agent was not
precisely cOmmendable, the punishment which
was inflicted was certainly provoked and
abundantly deserved.

One of the smaller morning papers has re-
port of significant Fenian session at st. Paul,
Minnesota, and a gathering of the clans at
Duluth, all under the direction of Gen.
Mcmahon "This information" the reporter
adds, lis not generally known" OF that there
can be no doubt-especially as Gen. Nc
Mahon has not been in Minnesota, or anywhere
near that State, and on the particular day men
toned in the foregoing report was to our per-
sonal knowledge in New-York.

"If Gen. O'Neil continues to display the
"same military ability" says The San, "he
can hardly fail to give the British more seri-
"ous trouble than they now apprehend.' Well,
opinions differ. 1t will be consolation, how
ever. to the captive commander to know that
his acuteness and discretion are so highly ap-
preciated by one Of the first military authori-
ties in our country. -

In reading the rather gushing commenda-

THE VAPoR COOK STOVE There is on ex-
hibItion Oppose the postoffice, the celebrated
Vapor Cook Stove, which TO those who have
not seen IL cannot help being great curiosity.
We will not attempt description of it further
than TO say that while being the simplest thing
In the world, ii Is at the same time the most
useful and satisfactory. 1t il about five feetin
length, with four holes, and occupies but little
more room than the ordinary cook stove. The
fuel used Is stove oil, which is supplied by n
pipe running the whole length OF the stove,
from which there are branch pipes with burn
ers attached. These burners can all be used
at the same time, or separately. The advantage
which this stove mpst'baye is In proportion to
the fact that neither stovepipe, chimney, coal,
wood, or anything else is required to 'run ii, p
except the stove oil. which Is remarkable for
eheapncss, being manufactured in Cleveland,
and sold at fourteen cents per gallon. The
stove Is 50 constructed that the heat produced
can be as great may be required, at the same
time that IL is regular. Attached to the stove
is baking apparatus, which is perfect in adap-
tation, and may be removed when desired. We
advise everybody TO go see the stove. Any
thing that may tend to lessen woman,s WORK
| or render that work more pleasant and expedt
tious is certainly desirable, and we are quit
inclined to the opinion that this is calculated
/ for that purpose.

Resolved, That in Bro. Low we recognize n

away from our sight and our meetings forever.
We mourn his loss. and while we scatter the

assumes immortality, and life becomes an un-
fading endless splendor,
Resolved, That we sincerely tender to his
sorrow stricken and bereayed wife and rela-

Wehsve heard Of late some complaints about
the time Of opening the postoffice here in the
morning. Most Of our laboring citizens have
to commence work ut o'clock, the time for
opening the postofice, and rs n consequence
are unable to get their mail until evening.
Few, IL any, OF our citizens aware of the
amount OF work performed in the postoffice. II
has increased until it is now treble what il
used to be. Our mails, coming and going in
the night as they do, necessarily make great
deal of night work. Thework is scarcely ever
finished At night before IL o'clock, and is re-
sumed at O'Clock in the morning. in order tC

into an elaborate article in favor Of voting to

We have the descriptive flower catalogue OF
A. Whiteomb, Of Lawrence, an old and well
known printer Of this State, which contains u
remarkable variety Of roses, verbenas, chrys-
anthemums, geraniums, etc. We recently had
the pleasure Of visiting his greenhouse, and OF
seeing his rare and attractive display OF dow
ers, and we can add our testimony to his rep
reservations that he has more and better than
any other florist in the State. We sometimes
wonder why 50 few homes are ornamented and
gladdened with beautiful flowers. Their cul-
tiyatIon ought not to be neglected, especially
as every one must have a taste for them. Every
yard in our city should have its flower bed or
beds, and the ladies should see to it. even il
their husbands should seem to imagine it 4
"waste of ground in the fashion of crotehety

We are glad that our citizens are paying
considerable attention TO shade tree planting.
Nothing will do more to make our city beauti-
full and therefore attractive than the planting
OF maple, bOx-elder and other shade trees all
along our streets and avenues. The most
beautiful cities in tine country are made so to a
great extent by reason OF having those of their
streets that are removed from the business
portion OF town lined with the finest kinds o.
shade trees. It is wise to commence at once
this species OF ornamenting and to engage in il
just as extensively our ability will permit
A ride around town convinced us that the
work has been rightly commenced by large
number Of our citizens. ItwOuld be well Il
place trees at least from eighteen to twenty
feet from the fences, rs the city Council seen
disposed to require the building Of sidewalks
of a generous width.

We have received the first number Of the
Citizen, n paper published at GuiIford, Wilson
county, by J. s. Gilmore, which IS really a
model Of typographical beauty. The selee-
tions and editorials are refreshing, and the
amount OF local matter given distinguishes the
the paper in this respect. Mr.. Gilmore was
long an employe Of this office, where he
learned his trade, and our acquaintance with
him leads us TO believe that his paper cannot
help being q success. Wilson county now has
three papers, which, we understand, are COM

inson was chosen Chairman and VIM. An
drews, jr., Secretary. Mr.. Eskridge was called
upon for 4 statement Of the proceedings had at
the railroad meeting held ut Neosho Rapids on
the 10th inst. Mr.. z. complied. Mr.. F. R.
Page, of Neosho Rapids, affirmed that his
township (Jackson) stood ready TO vote its
share of aid to the road, and that the people of
that township were not willing to lose this i'm
pOrtant railroad connection without first hav-
ing made every effort in their power I'm order
to secure il.
The following resolutions were presented by
Mr.. Eskridge, and, on motion, were adopted:
Resolved, That this meeting regards with
favor the proposition 10 aid the h. q. Il $. f.
railroad, and believes it to be for the best in
terests OF the county to secure the road pid
NeoshO Rapids upon any reasonable terms that
can be agreed upon With the company.

lutions adopted by the people OF Neosho Rap
ids ON the 10th inst.
Gov. Crawford and Col. Robinson were add
ed to the committee appointed at NeoshO Rap
ids meeting, for the purpose of visiting Kansas
City to consult with the railroad authorities of

ing the construction Of the road to this place.
The meeting thereupon adjourned.
We hope no effort will be spared to bring
this road to Emporia. We are of the opinion
| that we ought to have gone to work little
| sooner; but it is not too late yet, if we show
the proper amount OF energy and enthusiasm

trees last Saturday, from Illinois, and conse-
quently there are agood many more orchards
in Americas township to-day than there were
last week. The trees were generally in fair
condition, though not SO good as they would
have been had they been taken out of the Lyon
county nurseries, and we don't think they
were any better trees. The nurserymen ofthis
county will have to adopt the plan Of canvass
ing, or the Eastern dealers will outsell them.
Trees grown right in our own county ought to
be preferable.
