PEoro,fp New TERRITORY ALREADY
Il bin has passed the Senate organizing Il
new territory to be called Huron, out of
the northern portion Of Dtko.a. The pro-
posed territory i in the form Of plral =
telegram, with the British possessions rs
It's northern boundary, Minnesota on the
east, Montana on the west, and the re
manning portions Of Dakota on the south
The region cml.raced within the limits Of
tie proposed territory possesses a popula-
ton estimated at O.00U. One of the rca-
sons urged for the organization of the new
territory is that Southern and Northern
Dakota as that territory is now consti-
tu.cd, practically form two distinct COM
munitie~, widely separated by absence Of
convenient facilities for mutual inter-
course.

the Southern Congressman there are very
few who talk war, while the number nt
those who openly declare that the South
will do nothing to stir up trouble in case
Hayes is lnauguratcd, increase daily. The
universal undcr-currcnt of conservative
sentiment among Southern men has. with
in the present week. had marked effect
upon the northern wing. in spite of the Of
forts TO ridicule all statements of its exist
ence. Aside from this, the Tilden mana
gers are becoming discouraged over the
indications from the South They have
virtually given up the idea of beltcrinr
their condition by any showing their COM
mittees can make from either Florida or
South Carolina. and even in regard to
Louisiana they begin to feel that whatever
techncalities of law their committee may
claim in their favor. they will not be able

Vermont Dairymen's Association.
EIGHTH WINTER MEETING AT BURLINGTON
JANUARY 18TH, 18TH AND 18th, 1871.

EIGHTH WINTER MEETING AT BURLINGTON.
JANUARY 18TH, 18TH AND 18TH, 1871.
1t is now decided to hold the next meet
ING of the Association in burlington as
above.
Several of the ablest speakers in the
country upon dairy and related topics are
engaged for the occasion. To announce
our programme ut this stage would be
altogether premature. We may. however,
name few of the more prominent speak
ers whose topics are known. Professor
Noah Cressy, NJ. d.. veterinarian. whose
original topic was "DiseaSe Germs,
has lately proposed to substitute two
others, if desire l-namclv. ''Discases of
Dairy Cows" and the . Higher Education
of Farmers,'' which will probably be ac-
cepted as likely to interest quite us large
L proportion of Vermont farmers Is the
other. Mr.. y. A. Willard will decide
upon his topic after two or three others
have upon theirs. Mr.. A. w. Cheever of
the New England Farmer, will discuss in
his practical and highly interesting man
ner, the subject of . Soiling Cows Prof
Witherell of the .Americn1 Cultirator, pre-
pares Il paper on Experimental Stations
and Experimental Farms" Mr.. Will
liam Cooley Of Waterbury Center will
describe his series OF experiments IN set
ting milk for cream. by which he claims
he has discovered Il method Of gcttin. AL
the butter of the milk ia less th.n twelve
hours time. thus enabling dairymen TO dis
pense with three -fourlhs of all the room,
fixtures and appliances for setting milk
He propose, to exhibit his process in ;tc-
tu;l op ration. Other reports of expert
mcnts in setting milk in competition for
the Allen prize refrigerator, worth 500,
are expected, but the time has not closed
for receiving them. and we are not at lib
erty to announce them until the meeting
Several of our friends have not ltl time
to reply since they were invited. Several
experts and specialists who have not yet
favored Us with their topics, and who dc
not care TO be announced in advance, viii
attend and take part in the meeting.
Several of the members If the As
socation will prepare papers. We
confidently expect 10 make Til, no,
only the best meeting of or series, la,
the best and most valuable one OF the sea-
son. The usual invitation is extended to
members TO submit any questions to be
answered by the experts and specialists
who favor rs with their attendancr. 1t is
desirable that they be- sent in advance Il
the secretary. Opportunity viii he al
f"rlci all manufacturers and dealers in
dairy requisites and dairy prulucts To pa,
their wares on exhibition III proximity to
the place of meeting. and a committee
viii be- appointed To examine and report

THE AMENITIES OF ENEMIES IN CONGRESS
A PROBABLE SETTLEMENT OF THE
ELECTORAL OUESTION-A NEW NAVAL
BIlL-CoMMoDOR AMNENs MARINE
RAM.
Nothing surprises visitors to the nation
al hall of legislation, so much as t'e
amenities of enemies | mean OF political
enemies. Senators Morton and Thurman
are, for instance, in Il state Of chrome bell
rcrancv, ALWAYS graphing each other by
the political throat. each showing the otil-
or 10 be tlimsy. false. and illogical; each
unable to look upon the sins and herc,ics OF
which the other is the political representa-
live with the least degree OF allowance
But before and after debate they may be
seen in the friendlic>t conversation talking
and laughing like college chums. Ihert
is strife and cnmity of 4 bitter personal
character in both the House and Senate,
but it is the exception rather than the ruie'
that this is marked by party lines.
The opinion that, after all. there may
be IN amicablc adjustment of the prcsl-
cnt. Tie president of the Senate has
named Senators Elmund-. of Vermont;
Morton, of InGi,na; Freinghuy>en, OF
New Jersey; Logan, of Illinois; Thurman,
of Ohio; Bavard. Of Delaware; and Ran
some. of North Carolina; four Republicans
and three Democrats. to confer with 4
committee from the House consisting OF
four Democrats aud three Republicans.
The object of this Joint committee is to de
eide upon some matters of settlement OF
the Presidential difficulty. and lis simple
appointment, even if it should not accom-
plsh all that is hoped, is IN important
point gained for peace, since it IS \ con-
cr>sion on the part OF b til Houses Of Con
yrc>s, and t:,cit acknow cigem"nt OF
their ntcrd,prndence. The pcrsoncl OF
the Senate committee is of a character that
gives reason TO hope that 4 satisfactory
result may after al be reached by arbltrt-
lion, and men of both parties look to 1t
TO rescue the country from the prriIs
which ovcrh,ng it, Mr. Randall VIII ;tp-
point the members Of the House committee
