A Convention of Milk Farmers.

Iii accordance with the preliminary call for grand Mass Convention of Dairymen, issued by the undersigned some weeks since, all farmers now sending milk to New York, and all desiring to do so, or otherwise interested in the milk supply of New York and adjacent cities, are invited to meet at the hall of the Young Mems Christian Association, corner of 23d street and 4th avenue, New York, on Tuesday, the 24th day of September, at one clock, p. m., for the purpose of considering the plans which will be submitted for the re- form of the abuses of the milk business and for effecting permanent organiza- tlOn of milk producers, .s.s2 .......l.y af5
 We hardly need remind you of the ne- eessity which exists and is yearly growing more imperative, for some action which shall properly protect and adequately re- numerate this important branch of our industry-and plans will be. submitted at this meeting by which we may at once as- sume and control the entire management of this product until it reaches the con- sumer without great comparative outlay, and by which we may receive the entire profits of the business. -- ''Ss It is proper for us to state that our first notice of this movement has been received with more favor and enthusiasm than we had anticipated. The fact that not only have the farmers interested responded heartily, but that the newspaper press and the leading business men of the city and country have voluntarily endorsed the plan as at once practical, safe and effect i've, should encourage us to earnest ac- tion.- v 1 e. .s1l 1-ft sst .sv a Let every milk farm be represented at this Convention, by the presence and moral support of its proprietors, and we shall for the first time realize our power, and ensure the complete success of the movement fs73=s eTsa ' sas. No farmer interested can we'll afford to let this opportunity pass unheeded; not only determine to come yourself, but at once assume the responsibility of talking with your neighbors interested and urg- ing upon them the necessity of making one more effort before we are forced to retire from the business .elsssH as ALog

ONE RATE FOR ALL DISTANCES.

sE The above figures show that in kingdom of Belgium 8 22cent passenger rate and cent freight rate for all distances, simi- lar to postage rates, would be. more than sufficient to earn the It, 900 dollars per mile annually, which is now. raised from mileage rates. But g cents per ton for all distances would be unreasonably low suppose it made 50 and the passenger rate 12 cents. It will be admitted that the privilege of sending goods to any part of a kingdom for 50 cents per ton, and of passengers being ahleat0sgoto any point in their country for 12 cents, would be such a boon as no nation possessesi Yet by adopting these rates for all distances,
 government would actually increase pres
 ent receipts by more than amillion of dol
 lars. In Massachusetts a 25 cent passen-
 ger and 15 cent freight rate, for all dis
 tances, would suffice to raise an amount
 equal to the present earnings of the rail
 ways in the state, and as the 15 cents, -un-
 der a proper Classification of goods, would
 be broken up into rates from 10 to, f50, 1t
 seems as If Massachusetts, might adopt such a change with every prospect of ad- vantage It's passefigefs 1iiii1alsef 30. OO0,-

 with the great increase of business its adoption has ,occasioned, a uniform rate
 of 10 to 25 cents for passengers and 10 to | 90 for goods, according sto D jndicious classification, would very soon double the present railway reeeipfss in continental

Trlbaaanso Advice to the creeIeyItesss. m ties

sF z t- The Missouri Democrat thinks that the kNewe York Tribune might very appropri- ately throw out the following suggestions for: the benefit of it's friends: -''''. ] Eaa4 Don't driak too muck rum .;,sst ,,o,o. It IS very well known that all Democrats love rum above anything else, but the hot weather, ce-operating with the deliriurn tremens. may reduce the vote, unless pre- cautions of sobriety be taken ot once.
 f'o ? Don't Kin aay niagers. The Demo . cratic Party hates niggers, but the pres ent is bad time ts kill them. Postpone your intentions for the present for the good of the cause. There will be plenty of time to kill niggers, and plenty of nig- gers to kill, after we have won our glori- ous triumph in November. S% zst .s 3. Close you3' rat-pits tor the present You cannot give the necessary attention to politics if you devote great part of your time to killing rats. It IS very healthful and inspiring exercise, but just at present it would be more profitable to yeu and to me to kill off the Grant Party. By the exercise of 8 little selfsdenial, you will be able to close the rat-pits, and de- vote your entire energies to the success of the ticket. gso3.rv E--a E. zsrt
 4. Do not commit d1ay unnecessary 6ur glaries, murders O. rob6e1Ties. Although the laws are not very stringently admins tered. there is danger of an occasional conviction, and consequent impairment of your strength in November. It will be we'll to appoint restraining committees in all the Wards Of New York City, whose duty itshaH be to protect you against temptations. sza5zz t.=- a..E -t...-E
 ,. Do n0t burn d1ay Orl1lta1t asyltuis or school houses. There Is q prejudice in this country against arson, which we can not hope to extirpate before November, and 1t would be unwise to excite it at the present time. There will be abundant opportunity to burn every orphan asylum in the country after the elections of Gree ley and Brown. iGs.stst4 s.l5 =. ....o1d a.
 6. Do not sag too much about pension ing rebel soldiers. It will be time enough to discuss this subject when our party gets into power. The people at large have an idea that they do not want to pay these pensions, and although it is we'll to let the fact be known in n..ssthe South that we intend to pay them, it is we'll also to keep silent on the subject in the North.
 '. Abuse Gen. Grant i1a eeeTy possible aeay It would be we'll also to say a word about his family. Do not forget that his daughter has been abroad, and that per haps her company has not been always of the best, Consult Carl Schurz on this point. t. -.. ..r....t --. .....5. ......--

 TIE ISLANDERS UPON THE PRESIDENT. .-- In speech delivered the other evening by Gen. Hawley, at suffield, Conn, he al- luded to the charges brought against the Administration The frauds in the rev enue were no more frequent than those which are constantly occurring in business transactions. But there is Tom Murphy in the New York Cnstom-house. Mr.
 Boutwell, had told the speaker that Tom Murphy was the best Collector we had
 had for twenty years, and he came recom- mended by twenty of the best men in New York. There was at one time last Win ter nine Investigations going on, and what did they amount to? The one that had
 been said the most abOnt, the French arms investigation only showed that when the United States Government sold Springfield muskets, they were bought by people who wanted to use them. . So far as San Domingo was concerned, when the
 President found that the people were op- posed to- annexation he. said no more about it. But Senator Sumner was turned out? Not exactly. The officers of the Senate are appointed for each session,
 and although Senator Sumner had held the office of Chairman of the Committee on Foreign Affairs for long time, yet he did not hold it by life lease any more than he did the Senatorship. He had quar- feled with the President, and the Secre-
 tary of State, and would only speak to them. in an official capacity, He had made serious charges against his personal in tegr1ty, and his continuation in office was not under the circumstances desirable.
 The speaker also. referred to what he termed the small islanders of the cam
 paign, of which he said he was ashamed to speak. The President loved to talk about horses, and loved to ride after them,
 but their was no crime in that. Some people and some papers were forever talk ing about buil-pups till one would think the President lived on a dog kennel, whereas he hates dogs and never owned one in his life. Still we hear more about bull pups in the Democratic organs than we do of emancipation or universal suf- frage. The speaker was willing to com pare the personal characteristics of the two candidates. There was no man of national reputation esos utterly unfit for the Presidency as Horace Greeley, a man of whom Henry J. Raymond, who knew him like book, said, ..''he is as vain as 8 schoolgirl of fifteen, and as ambitious as Lucifer, and as malignant as Satan " Af- ter reviewing at length the record of MT. Greeley during the war, and commenting severely upon his inconsistencies, the speaker closed with an appeal for every Republican to do his duty and abide the l result. no .iaEssepns5 }aslsstsat Jo

It appears that the market for maids of all work in Oregan has been supplied for some time past by. an enterprising emi- grafton agent at Dundee, Scotland. The s'lassiess sent out.have given so much sat isfactionsto to their employers, and added so considerably to the of the agent, that he has thought. 1t wise to incur the ex- pense of visiting Oregon himself, with the view of supplying it's needs on a more ex- tended scale.@dC Considering the helpless condition of housekeepers in the Eastern States, owing to, the difficulties ,encoun- tered in the attempt to procure good ser wants, it is somewhat surprising that the .tcanny'' Scot should have taken such 8 long journey, when the opportunities for making money are so much greater here.
