"there Is to-day, unquestionably, majority
who agree in recognizing the necessity and
"seeking the accomplishment of higher and
"better tone in the government of the coun-
"tryn The Convention at Albany yesterday,
even had 1t been as small numerically as its
opponents hoped, instead of being as 1t was
large and influential assembly of representative
men. would have been entitled to the respect
full consideration which belongs to sincerity
and earnestness in any direction. They may
not represent so much as lllance of power,
though the fact that last year, when the dis
satisfaction with the two great parties was
much less than now, they did hold 1t and elect
their ticket selected from the other
two, is somewhat Indicative of their
strength. :. Whether they do or not,
they have at least presented sound
BODY of political doctrine for the general ac-
ceptance of which the best men in the country
are striving; and the platform of these men,
who have no Offices to ask, may well be taken
as a model by the party conventions which
are soon to set forth the principles On which
they purpose to appeal for votes.
The Convention wisely refrained from max
ing any nominations for State officers or tax
ing any action which might look like debating
candidates OF offering bargains to any other
organization. We presume the purpose of the
Convention Is to wait till the two parties have
made their nominations, and then to choose
from one or both, or if necessary out
side of both, a ticket which they can con-
scientiously support and commend to their
fellow-citizens. We do not see how any rea-
sonable objection can be made to such a
course The position of small but compact
and earnest body of Independent voters, hold
ing no relations with either party, but ready to
support the good men and oppose the bad
nominated by either, can hardly have any
thing but wholesome influence upon politics
and parties.
Already their victory last year. and their
determined attitude since, have been seen to
produce wholesome effect upon both of the
great rival parties. Their demand for good
men, whom the people can safely trust, re-
suits in the certainty of the denomination,
greatly against the will of the Ring managers,
of John A. Dix, our present Model Governor.
1t makes equally certain. greatly to the wrath
of the Canal Ring, the Tweed Ring, and
whole host of ward tricksters and the
minor corruptiOnists in politics. the
nomination of Samuel j. Tilden, the
man to whom, more than to any
other human being or agency, New-York owes
the overthrow of the Tweed dynasty. Both
have deserved well of the State, and have
the confidence of our citizens. 1t becomes,
therefore, of more Importance than in some
other places to know what policy the
parties, which are forced to accept them
as standard bearers, profess willingness to
carry out if intrusted with power. The
sagacious men in both parties will do well
then to consider very carefully the leading
resolutions in the Liberal platform, and par
tlcularly those relating to specie payments,
the third term, and the gag law.

The Massachusetts, Democrats nominated

adopted a series of resolutions better than the
average 80 far as National politics are con-
cened and advocating, as usual, ga vigorous
"reform in State affairs, a reduction of ex-
"penses. and strict economy" The manner in
which the party out of power resolves in favor
of economy and reform is always very re-
freshing feature of political conventions. The
Massachusetts Democrats oppose the prohlbi-
tory law and advocate "a stringent judicious,
"and eficacious law for the restriction and

command under Gen. Miles overlook force

after a brief engagement, resulting in consid-
cradle loss TO the enemy. From what is known
respecting these rowing bands of savages, it

A Car Load ofsIIk worms Eggs.
From the Chicago TINES. DECEMBER as.

From the Chicago TINES, December 26.
One of the most valuable eonsign-
ments that ever passed "across the
continent arrived yesterday after
noon.
One freight car contained goods
whose value exceeded 100000
The enormous cost would be in it
self circumstance worthy of note,
but the popular character of the
goods gives to the affair additional
interest. The consignment was a
car load of silk worms eggs, en-
route for France. They were pur-
chased in Yokahoma by the French
Government, and arrived in San
Francisco December Is. Only three
days were lost in transferring them
to the freight car, and Decem-
Der 19 the precious packages
commenced their trans-continent
journey. 't
In this country very few are fass
miliar with the silk worm, and can
have no idea of the appearance
of the eggs. In England, where the
climate is subject to extremes of
temperature, the silk worm is as
common as a pet canary. Boys and
girls all boast a box of thriving silk
worms and take as much pride in
winding off the golden thread from
a cocoon as the youth of this country
in the possession of marbles and
such toys. The silk worms eggs is
about one quarter the size of pins
head, and the reader may gain an
idea of the number of eggs now on
their way to Paris, when he learns
that on this one car there are nine
and half tons of eggs.
The eggs are packed in leaves,
layers upon layers, and placed in
air tight tin boxes, which are in
turn covered with mating. Fhe
car is kept at temperature below
the freezing point, and no light is
admitted. The mating covered
boxes are piled on either side
There is nothing te ba seen there
but mating and he appearance of
boxes is certainly not Indicative of
the value of the contents. This is
the first attempt yet made to i'm
port silk worms via. the United
States, and if human foresight avails
anything there is every reason to
look for success,

hour she had gone"
Connor had risen. He stood up, trying
to steady himself; looking at the captain
with his eyes dry as two stones. Then
he turned TO his friends-"Pve got my
death, boys" he said, and then dropped
to the floor like log. They raised him
and bore him away. In an hour he was
home, on the little bed which had been
made ready for Nora, weary with her
long voyage. There. at last, he opened
his eyes. Old Mr.. Bawn bent oyer him
he had been summoned by the news, and
the room was full of Connor's fellow work
men.
Better, Connor2" asked the old man
"a dale" said Connor. "Pll be with
her soon. And look ye, masther, I've
learnt one thing-God is good; he would
not let me bring Nora over to me, but he's
taking me over to her and Jamesy-oYer
the river-don't ye see it, and her, stand
in on the other side to welcome me?"
And with these words Connor stretched
out his arms. Perhaps he did see Nora
heaven only knows-and. so died.
