CHEAP CARRYING,

The National Transportation COnven-
ton at Washington-Ncces sity OF Cow
crnment Water Routes Through the
Country encouragement of Trade
and Industry.
WASHINGTON, Jan. IL, 1874
The National Cheap transportation Convention,
at the meeting this morning, was addressed by
Colonel Frobel, OF Georgia, as the representative
OF Governor Smith, OF that State, who had been
invited by the Convention to speak on the subject
of cheap transportation. but whose oficial duties
detained HIM at home.
Colonel Frobel showed the necessity of some
cheaper mode OF transportation than at present
exists for the heavy products Of the country, and
that water Afforded the best means for the accom-
plishment OF this desired end. He advocated y
national system, the benefit OF which would reach
all sections and all interests, and considered as
folly the cry that the country could not afford
such works, comparing this cry with the folly OF
the farmer who would suner thousands OF bushels
OF grain TO rot In his field because ne could not
AFFORD to pay $50 TO buy wagon TO haul 1t to =
profitable market.
THE SMALL POLITICIANS
had opposed generous system OF water improve
ments on the ground that 1t was to cost
500, 0OO, 900, and uttered this from end Of
the land to the other, and this answered the want
OF need. This drowned the voice OF the people;
and from behind this pretence OF a virtuous
economy they tolled the death knel OF prosperity
In this cry, "a hundred millions.n
Colonel FrObcl spoke at length as to the neceS-
sty OF building up our manufactures and
HOME TRADE BETWEEN THE STATES,
and reviewed the present condition of the cotton
interests showing 1t was rapidly decaying, and, In
conclusion. reviewed the present financial condi-
ton OF the country and its causes. He was ire
quently applauded during his remarks.

As the vote was being cast after the reading OF

most disgraceful nature occurred, whistling, yell.

impossible. "Get bigger hail." said one. "Ad-

yelled and demanded attention in its highest pos

the din and confusion which was great enough to
render the most sane man in the party an absO-
lutte lunatic. Hats, hands, handkerchiefs and
Overcoats waved in the air In the most ridiculous
manner imaginable. Yes, cries, expostulatons
maledictions end peals OF heartless laughter was
the peculiar and excruciating music OF the
moment. Every one was upon his feet shouting
stamping and gesticulating as II It were the last
time he would ever have an opportunity to make .
noise.
An election Of trustees was simply impossible,
but Mr.. Mason arose aud cried out, Mt the top OF
his voice, that the meeting was adjourned
to receive the votes, and that the election would
go on during the afternoon, stating that at eleven
A. NJ. tomorrow the election would be continued,
and that those who did not vote to-day could come
and do so at the appointed time in the morning
thus was the dSgraceful scene ended for to-day.

Ants in India.

With the first moisture they come in
all their generations ants of all
colors, black, red and white and OF
all sizes, from the pestilent little ant,
which, scarcely visible, luxuriates in
the sugar when the careless servant
omits to place il in water, TO the huge
black ant which sharply bites the
baby, or the great red ant, which
builds nests larger than those of
hanging bird in the branches OF the
trees. But most destructive of all the
ant family is the famous white ant.
Anything is acceptable To a white ant,

i've power IS astonishing. i had occa-
sion lately to enter an unfrequented
store-room for an empty pine packing
box of moderate size, in which had
come goods from home but, in place

which had proved too hard for their
teeth; the box itself the white ants
had eaten up. "How do you save

Of such destruction. IL is pertinent

grain, Brussels and tapestry carpets
by never buying them. The wealth.
est people in India only use common
cheap cotton fabrics or grass mattings
on the floor, which one can afford TO
renew every two or three years. As for
other things, water and metal are our
great preseryatives. IL is a curious
fact that while the white ants are thus
numerous and destructive throughout
India, they are never found in cities !;
the natives say that they dislike the
noise and jar, which, as they always
work in darkness and quiet seems
probable enough. II Correspondence
