Lieut.. Geo. M. Wheeler writing

Lieut.. Geo. M. Wheeler writing
in the army and Navy Journal has
given the subject of extending
our national boundary farther
south ward, much attention. He
thinks there is a range of noun
tains, only broken by small passes
which would be easily guarded,
extending from the Cult of Mex
leo to the Pacific Ocean, and that
there should be new boundary
made along the summit. This
would of course involve q large
acquisition, taking parts and per-
haps the whole of several States.
His argument is that new boun-
Diary SO established would be per-
manent, stop the agitation of the
subject and tend to put a stop to
border outrages by reason of set
Elements of each nation being
separated by a high and broad
range of mountains. This sounds
well. But if Mexico fails to give
herself a good government, some
other nation will do it sometime,
and ours would be obliged to do
it or permit another one; and all
will agree the latter would meet
with the indignant protest of the
American people again as it has
heretofore. Either all or none of
Mexico is the true policy. Now
our voice is for nOne.-Citizen.

The native silver is visible
throughout the seams, and the
character of the ore for milling is
excellent. Their lodges run all
the way from one to twenty feet

Patrons of Husbandryand

Perhaps the Patrons of Hus-
bandry have had something to do
with bringing about these general
reductions in the following roads:
New York, August 26.-The
following are the tariffs by the E.
RE, New York Central, and the
Pennsylvania Central, that have
just been adopted. The list of
stations, with the reductions and
new rates per hundred weight for
frst-class general merchandise,
which includes dry goods, boots
and shoes, ready-made clothing
ETC., embraces: New York to Gin
cinnati reduced from 10 to 81; to
Indianapolis from 81 to 3S; to
Louisville, Kentucky, from sc to
40; to Nashville, Tennessee, from
135 to SO; to st. Louis, Missouri,
from 81 to SIS.
Several Of the outside railroad
ticket offices have recently made
considerable reduction in prices
of tickets to the principal points
in the West. The fare to Cleve-
land is thus reduced from $l4,25
to S12 so; to Chicago S25 to Sl9-
80; and to Cincinnati from the
South $l8. None of the regular
Broadway Offices have been au.
thorized to make the reduction,
but they will probably be COMPEL
ed to come down to the cheap
rates or lose business.

A permanent constitution and
bylaws were adopted, after pro-
longed discussion.
The following resolution was
presented and laid on the table
by a close vote, 48 to Al:
Whereas, it is evident that the
members of Congress of the Uni
ted States, in voting for and re-
ceiving the benefits of what is
known as tthe back salary grab, !"
overleaped the authority delegated
to them by the people of their re-
spective States; therefore be it
Resolved, By the farmers of
Tennessee liz convention assem-
bled, that we condemn without
any equivocation whatever, any
and all members of congress from
this State, who voted for or accept
ed the back salary steal, and here
by request them to resign their
seats in congress that men may be
selected to fill their places, whose
love for lucre will not overlap
the interests of their constituency.
The following resolutions were
adopted-nOt all at once, but at
different times during the session:
Resolved, That this Associa-
tion regard the adoption of the

bandry as one of the most eff.
cient means, so far as known to

proved, the organization OF Gran
yes wherever practicable, thereby
placing our productions on an e.
quail footing with other industria
Interests.
Resolved, That this Conven-
ton instruct the Corresponding
Secretary Of this body to open a
correspondence with Jas. Holmes,
of Birmingham, England, or with
any other responsible parties,
either of Europe or of the United
Stales, with regard to the practi.
cahility Of procuring laborers,
male and female, and requesting
that all the information possible
be given relative to the matter.
Resolved, That in order to un-
derstand and appreciate the real
status of railroad management in
this State and to know whether
our grievances relative TO oppres-
sion and unfair dealing are well
founded, we deem it more wise
and judicious to approach this
great question calmly and eau
tlously.
Resolved, That with the view
of reaching the ends thus indica-
ted the convention appoint CON-
mittee of six able men, two from
each grand division of the State,
whose duty it should be to confer
with the managers of the railroads
and gather from them full and
accurate statement of facts and
figures rs to their operations.
Resolved, That this committee
be empowered and authorized to
treat with our railroad men and
to make such terms with regard
to transportation as may be mutu'
ally beneficial.
