One thing is remarkable about the
growth of Iowa. While it has in.
creased rapidly, this increase has
been difT'used over its extended sur
face. There have been no large
cities built, but many small ones
have grown into respectable size, and
numerous small and flOurishing vii,
lagos have arisen in all parts of the
state. Iowa has doubled her pOpula-
ton in the last ten years, and now
numbers 1000 inhabitants, yet
she scarcely contains city exceed
ing %, coo people. This grows on: oil
the agricultural character of the
State, and her vast surface, which
almost equals the area of New York
and New Jersey combined. 1t is no
disadvantage to her that she has no
large city, for large cities are gene
rally great evils, and are too often
plague spots upon soCiety.-ROcheS-

Wyoming Coal.

The western papers bring wonder
full accounts of discoveries of coal in
Wyoming territory, covering, rs
already ascertained, stretch o.
three hundred miles along the
Pacific railroad. If the accounts
be not extravaganza, the deposits
must excel the anthracite deposits o
Pennsylvania; and in quality
heating properties, freedom from
sulpher, etc.-is equal thereto. 1t il
claimed that it will propel an engine
seVenty-fve miles while Il ton q
Lehigh coal will propel one forty
miles; that il will generate l0,00C
feet of gas per ton while Lehigh coal
averages but $500 feet per ton that
it is excellent for smelling; that il
has a very small proportion of waste
in the shape of ashes and clinkers
together with many other superior
qualities. In short, if half of what
is claimed regarding these coal fields
are true, Wyoming is destined to be
one of the richest States in the
Union, and the development of hel
coal mines one of the most wonder.

COMPUTING INTEREST. Here is q
new rule for computing interest. 1T
is so simple and true, that every
banker, merchant or clerk, should
post it for reference. BY no other
arithmetlcal process can the desired
in formation be obtained by so few
figures:
Six per cent.-Multiply any given
number of dollars by the number OF
days of interest desired, separate the
right hand figure and divide by six.
The result is the true interest on such
number of days at six per cent.
Eight per cent.-Multiply any given
amount by the number of days upon
which it is desired to ascertain the
interest, and divide by As, and the
result will be the true interest foI
the time required.
Ten per cent Multiply the same
as above and divide by SO, and the
result will show the interest at ten
per cent.

BLOOD HORSE ASSOCIATION.

Refusal TO ReInState Mr. Smith.
The Blood Horse Association met in
their room, at the Merchants Exchange, at
eleven O'Clock yesterday, President john
son in the chair, and thirty-three members
present. The minutes of the previous
meeting were read and approved. The
primary object of the meeting was to cor
slider and act upon the motion made at a
former meeting to reinstste Mr.. E. A.
Smith, who had been expelled for alleged
unbecoming conduct with reference to the
loss of a race by Regent at the late meet
ing of the Fall Association over the Nash
vile Course. On solicitation of the Men,
this Association, insisting that the action Of
expulsion by the Nashville Association was
based upon error in the premises, the mo-
lion to reinstate was entertained. The
subject was thoroughly cenvsssed, the de-
sire of the members of the club appesringto
be the maintenance and vindicstion of the
integrity Of the Association, rather than the
inhictiOn of punishment or disgrace upon
any one. The President read letters from
]. Wallace Harper, of Memphis; from
Maj. Viely and others in regard to the
charges against Mr.. Smith, the object of Mr.
Harper's letter being to vindicate himself,
the Association and all concerned from tse
results growing out of the charges referred
to. Various suggestions, inquiries and re-
marks were made by members of the Club
touching upon the matter. After lengthy
and protrected discussion and investiga-
ton, the vote was taken by the call of the
roll upon the subject of reinstating, which
resulted in a refusal by vote of 8 for to
10 against it. Thus the former action Of
the Association 10 his expulsion was SUE
tanned, after which the Association adj

Grant Denies that amy Alabama
Note has been Sent TO England.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 19.--It is officially
ascertained that the letter to recall
Minister Motley is now on the way to
England. Until it shall have been received
by him, he will of course be regarded as
the representative of this government at
the British court. The assumption in
England that Russia and the United States
have secret understanding does not ap-
pear to have any good foundation. The
President, this evening, being asked as to
the truth of the London. telegram on the
subject of the alleged dispatch to Secre-
tary Moran in reference TO the Alabama
claims, replied that the first he had heard
of the matter was in the morning papers.
Collector Murphy-Schurz ClOseted
with Fish.
There is no truth in any of the reports
that Collector Murphy, of New York,
will be removed, nor of his resignation
having been rendered. There is authority
for stating that the official conduct of
Murphy is thoroughly sustained by the
administration IN every particular.
= Senator Schurz had long interview
with the Secretary of State to-day.

GRANTS ssPRIVATE BUSINESS
1t was given out when Grant went to
Philadelphia few days ago, that he bad
gone there to attend to some private bust
ness, and that his visit had no connection
with public affairs. The nature of the
s'private business" he had on hand is thus
stated by the Washington correspondent
of the Philadelphia Inquirer, a Radical
journal:
''There is no doubt but that the Presi-
dent went to Philadelphia to get an OPP
portunity to quietly consult his friends as
to the selection of Cabinet officer from
Pennsylvania, he having made up his
mind TO appoint one. Senator Cameron
has recommended Col Forney. To
gentleman who recently spoke to the
President on the question of recognizing
Pennsylvania by Cabinet appointment,
he replied that he had offered five gentle
men places in the Cabinet, who had all
declined, and he had not yet given it up.
1t is understood that the five he alluded 10
are George II. Stuart, Lindley Smith,
Adolph E. BOrie, Judge McKennan and
Judge Strong.
eff he now makes selection from
Akermsn, Secretary Fish, or Postmaster
Creswell will have to be retired. All
three represent States which will, in all
probability, vote for the Democratic can
didate in 1872, and the President, being
now openly candidate for reelection, is
on the alert to secure Pennsylvania, with
out whose vote he has, for the last week,
for the first time, conceded he could not
be reelected.
'His faith in Pennsylvania politicians
centres almost holly in Senator Came
ron, but nearly all the Presidents former
friends are adverse to his surrendering SO
completely to the influence of the Sage of
LOchiel, and this Is what now troubles
him. The Postoffice Department is Sena-
tor Cameron's objective point. He IS an
old friend of Mr.. Creswell's, and he has
now apparently unlimited influence with.
him, but he has told the President that
he must concentrate all his power in
States which he can carry 10 1872, and
Maryland is not one of them. He says
he does not want to be considered as ask
ing Mr. Creswell's retirement. but if he is
to go, he wants Col. FOrney to have the
place, and then gives reasons why
change should be made. Were it not for
the Presidents being candidate for re-
election, nothing would be done, but he
is growing anxious and nervous on this
point, and will talk freely with any one
upon his prospects for arranging delegate
elections and electoral votes"

FROM ITALY.
Italy out of the Russian Ring
Prussia aud the Pope.

LONDON, Nov. Especial TO the
Herald-A telegram from Florence, of
the 18th, says great excitement prevails
there over the war question in regard to
Russia's position on the treaty of 1856.
The popular enthusiasm is in favor of ad-
herepce to the cause of Russia. The re-
port that the ministry is resolved not to
take Joint action with England and Aus
tria is well received. The position taken
by the Cabinet is understood to be de-
termination to hold entirely aloof from
the complications that may grow out of
the question. The Government will have
enough to do in harmonizing the new
state of affairs at Rome.
The official papers state that reports of
Prussis's intended interference in behalf
of the Pope are entirely uufounded. They
were started by agents of Austria for
selfish ends.
1t is certain that Italy's position will be
that of entire neutrality.

VIRGINIA AND PALESTINE.

In a speech before the Agricultural So
ciety at Staunton, last year, Commodore
Maury elOquently remarked:
'.Did you ever reflect that Virginia is
in the same latitude of the Promised Land
that the same skies upon which David
and Solomon and our Saviour gazed, are
garnished for us as for them; that Plei-
eades, Orion and Arcturus rise and set and
shine upon US as they did upon patient
Job; and that everything that is grown
there, from the fig and the vine and the
corn AMI oil, grow here as well, and other
things besides3 Did you know that Vir-
ginia and North Carolina have given the
greatest gifts in the vegetable kingdom
that men have received since history be-
gan-;hat Indian corn, potatoes, and to-
bacco came from this part of the world ?"
