National Pork Packers Convention.

LOUILvILLE, September 9.-Thc Ma
tional Convention Of Pork Packers and
Provision Cealcrs, met in this city day,
with about two hundred delegates pre-
sent, representing twelve States. The
body assembled in Masonic Hall, and was
called to order by Vice President W. b.
Hamilton, of Louisville.
Speeches of welcome were made by
Mayor Chas. d. Jacobs and Mr.. J. Y.
Comling, ofthe Louisville Board Of Trade.
When the chairman attempted to an
nOunce the committees on Credentials
and Permanent Organization, delegates
from Chicago, st. Louis, and Cincinnati,
protested, claiming there were nOdclcgBtes
from those three cities, but mere spcCta-
tors. The New York and Boston del
egates protested against the action Of the
western members, and split was for
some time threatened. Finally, the Op-
posing members acquiesced in the sp-
pointment Of the committee. The com
mittees were then announced and retired.
The Committee on. Credentials made
the following report at 3 P. NJ: lnHmuch
AS there are irregularities in the crcden-
tials Of delegates in attendance on this
convention, therefore, be II
R>solr,d, That all persons identified in

Mr.. Nirby, Of ST. Lous. offered the fol-
lowing additional resolution:
R>,otr>i, That in all rules governing
the standard of mests-cut, curing and
packing Of the same-none but packers
and curers will be allowed 20 vote but
that in the discussion Of such rules before
the Convention, duly accredited dealers in
the product from other commercial
bodies in the United States, will be
permitted to participate. Discussions at
some length follow, during which the
latter resolution was Withdrawn and the
report Of the committee adopted, but
subsequently, Mr.. Kirbys resolution wa-
again presented, and the discussion Of the
question consumed the remainder Of the
day. The Packer claimed that the Deal
ers in provision and Brokers had no right
to vote on questions relating to cutting or
curing meat. The Dealers and Broker,
claimed that they were largely interested,
and should be heard on sll questions
coming before the Convention; that un-
der the rules Of the Association, they
were members Of equal standing with
Packers. The resolution was finally re-
ferred to q special committee composed
Of the Vice President Of the Convention.

QUICKSILVER. - If the price OF
Quicksilver were affected by report
ed discoveries and the organization
of companies for the development
of those discoveries, we ought, before
this, to have had check placed on
the upward tendency, and might
confidently look for large reduc-
ton at an early day. About a year
ago, the price was raised to S1.20,
and few then thought it would be as
high as Sl.55 now. During the inte-
rim, Cinnabar deposits have been
reported in various parts of the
State. and several interpretations
have been formed for the produc-
ton of this necessary article OF COM
merce. Some OF these claims have
for months been in active working
condition, but the supplies received
from them have apparently had no
effect on the market. Two years ago,
the price of Quicksilver in the mar
ket was S5c, and four years ago it
was zoe. The advance OF over 100
per cent. in less than four years
must make the business very profit
able to those who own Quicksilver
mines with large resources.

THERE are two good reasons why
Congress, this winter, ought to pro-
vide for resumption of specie pay
ments, one of which is alternative to
the other. If the republican party
has been knocked into flinders and
is not going TO survive its late de-
feats, 1t may as we'll depart from this
sphere of usefulness as universally
regretted as possible; and nothing
could give "a more distinguished
finale to its already glorious record
thanthe passage of a bill meeting
this great public want. If on the
contrary there is still Vitality in the
old organization, and it is going to
survive its reverses for future labors
on behalf of mankind, no better step
can be taken toward the revival of
its fortunes than the enactment of
.such a,measure.

Carpet.Baggers in Congress.

"Carpet-bagger" is term ap-
piled to such persons as hold office
in States in which they were not
born. Most complaint has been
made against members of Congress
who claim to represent one State,
when the facts show they were born
in some other. 1t will be seen that
many of the Western, and such OF
the southern States as have Demo-
cratic majorities, have the most rea-
son for complaint. Let us see how
the matter stands:
