The amount of fat was not accurately
determined; but it was proved to be more
than one per cent. The amount of water
is probably smaller than it would have
been had the corn been taken directly from
the grain house instead of the warm room
in which it had been hanging for some
weeks. The result of the analysis proves
that there is in corn cobs a considerable
amouutzof fat-producing and Hesh-form-
ing constituents. In the sixty per cent.
of carlo. hydrates. albuminoids, fat, etc..
are found the elements which have nutri.
tive value. In order that we may obtain
some!id of its comparative worth let us

have higher value than wheat or rye

The Treaty OF Washington.
APTITUDE or THE BRITISH GOVERN
.MEEr.

Says Washington special Of May 81:
To-day Mr.. Fish received a dispatch
from Gen. SchencS, and Sir Edward
Thornton one from Earl Granville.
The British Government still request
that the substitute shall be submitted
to the Senate, which it proposes for the
supplemental article formely submitted
and amended by the Senate. They
still profess a doubt about the interpre-
tation of the words given in by the
Senate. They no longer insist upon
the absolute withdrawal, in terms, of
the indirect claims from the Geneva
tribunal, but are willing the supple
mental article should guide it's action,
provided that is conclued in terms as
last proposed by Great Britain.
The Senate amendment to the article
was to the effect that neither nation
should be liable hereafter for any indi-
rect damages growing out Of the failure
of either Government to observe strict
neutrality.
The British proposition is to have the
rule apply only to such indirect dam
ages undecided as now
The President insists on the rule in
the form modified by the Senate, and
suggests that the doubts about the
meaning Of the words objected to, refer
ring to future of cases, can be the
subject of further correspondence if that
form Of rule be accepted. An answer
to this is hardly expected.
The impression here is that the Eng
iish Cabinet is acting with reference
solely to political exigcncies and retain
ing power, and that they will with
draw from the treaty.

James Gordon Bennett.

The telegraph this morning an
nounces an event which has been for
several days impending, the death of
James Gordon Bennett, the founder
and proprietor Of the New York Herald,
n man who for thirty-six years has oc-
cupied a more prominent place before
the public than any other man in the
United States throughout the same
period. That public will unanimously
accord him the credit of having first of
all, and, from the first, more than any
other man, developed the American
daily press into what it now is. OF the
means by which he attained his dis
tinction much is held in the way of
opinion, which it would be unbecoming
to utter in the presence of death, but Of
his prc-eminent ability in the field
which he challenged as his own, too
high an estimate cannot be pronounced.
May his merits, both of brain and
hearth, be long remembered, and his
faults be consigned to oblivion. -lEobi7e

The Indians and tho President.

Yesterday morning, at 1880 o'clock,
Red Clouds party Of Indian braves
were driven to the White House. They
were accompanied by the Secretary of
Interior, DIR. Daniel, their agent, and
two Interpreters. They We're in full
war costume, and had been lavish with
the paint and feathers in decorating
themselves.
The President in his remarks addressed
himself particularly to Red Cloud and
Red Dog. He referred to the murder Of
Mr.. Powell, and he said he was salts
fed Red Cloud had had nothing to do
with it. The President advised them
to dlcide upon a permanent location,
and to endeavor, as fast as they can, to
initiate the white mans way of living.
He said that if they felt like moving
to the Cherokee country everything
would be done to make them comfor-
table. Houses would be built, cattle
sent, and schools erected for the Indian
Children.
Red Cloud replied that this time he
had come to see the Great Father unin-
vited. The agency had been put across
the river during his visit to the North.
He wants the agency of his people on
the White river.
The President replied that this place
was within the limits of Nebraska,
and the white people would cncroach
upon it. He promised to agree, how
ever, to whatever the Secretary of the
Interior and Commissioner Of Indian
Affairs should decide upon. Secretary
Delano said he entertained the same
opinion.
The Indians then retired, and after Il
turn through the White House, paid a
visit to the Treasury Washington

The bankruptcy Act.

The bill which passed the House to-
day, amending and revising the gene
raj bankruptcy act, makes several inn
portant changes in the existing statute.
The time during which bandkrupts
may be discharged upon payment of
fifty per cent. of their Indebtedness is
extended until July 1, 1878. Life insu-
rance policies to the amount OF five
thousand dollars, arc exempt from assets
available for creditors, and all judg-

filed, arc to be first and fully satisfied.

Another Radical Bid.

The N. o. Bee, of the 4th, says:
1t was stated yesterday that we'll
known citizen had arrived from WASH
ington with authority from Mr.. KEEL
logg to say, that if the Democrats
would nominate him {Kellogg) as Gov
ernor, he would concede an entire State
and legislative ticket to the Democratic
party, being authorized to pledge the
endorsement of such nomination by the
convention of the regular Republicans
to meet at Baton Rouge on June 18th.
We can safely say that w. p. Kellogg,
Of Illinois, is not the man the people of
Louisiana want for their Governor
Mr.. Kellogg was in no sense the choice
of our people for Senator. There is no
way the nominal Senator could better
please the people of Louisiana than by
resigning and returning to his prairie
home in the fruitful and prosperous
West. The means by which and the
circumstances under which his late and
present eminence were reached, should
admonish him of the little he has to ex-
pect from the white people of Louisiana.
Whatever may be said about bargains,
coalitions, compromises, conditions and
Vaccinations, we venture to pro-
claim that the Democratic party of
Louisiana will never sell themselves to
the Devil and then take their pay in
birthstone.

The Greeley movement has opened
the heart of Congress toward "unrc-

have followed so fast upon one another
that only two hundred and odd of the
best blood and highest talent iii the
land arc shut out from the citadel of
such a"government as the world never
saw With what distinguished con-
tempt must Davis view and esteem the
hatred OF the little men who control It
great government. Truly, Gin the

The Political Prospect in California.

\ California exchange says: "The in
dorsement of Greeley by the Democracy
will so demorslize that party in this
State that Grant will be safe for from
eight to ten thousand majority, and the
prospect is good for four Republican
congressman. Mr.. Sargent goes into
the Senate, and the rival candidates for
the succession TO him as It member of
the House arc Judge Cavis and Nathan
Porter. Coghlan will succeed himself
HoughtOn will be nominated in one of
the districts into which the one he now
represents has been divided, and Geo.

to be the Republican nominee for the

The Southern States.

The London Chemist and Druggist,
OF !, recent date, says truly of the South
crn States:
If the Southern United States are not
the garden OF the world, it is rather the
fault of those who are responsible for
their cultivation and development,
than from any other cause on the face
OF the earth. Cotton, sugar and tobacco
are products of such immensely as to
dwarf those which other lands bring
forth. Vast quantities of rice ana
wheat arc exported. Luxurious but
uncultiNateu vegetation also toStiiirsS to
Its Immense resources which .arr forth

rivers, riches in every variety of soil.

claimed, make it a territory which will

Two Partisan journalists have struck
aside from the beaten track of French
dueling, and not long since fought a
spirited battle in the Rue Montmartre
with umbrellas. Their names, dcserv-

blood seems to have been spilled, and
the only bones broken were those of
the umbrellas. But honor was appeascd,

Logic.

Greeley is fairly entitled to every ne
gro vote in the South. We suppose for
identical reasons every white man
ought to support him too.
Grant was II Democrat up to his NOM
ination at Chicago in 1868, and there
fore the Democrats ought to support
him, and for the same reason the nc
groes ought to vote for him too.
