with foreign countries that they
contribute means and influence
necessary to secure the performance
OF tho postal service herein indicated, as
well as adequate commercial transporta-
tion to all foreign countries whatever.
Such organized postal service and CONNER
cial transportation Is specially urged as
being in all cases absolutely necessary to
insure that regular and continuous trans
portation and delivery OF passengers,
merchandise and correspondence between
production and consumption, as Is indis-
pensible to the market control and tinan-
cial transactions Of the modern commerce.
On the project Of treaty between the
United States and France.
The Committee, having examined the
proposed form Of treaty between the
United States and France, offer the follow
ing resolutions in regard thereto:
ReaOlred, That in the opinion OF this
Committee the project Of treaty between
the United States and France, together
with the important commercial exhibits
accompanying the same, as signed and sub.
mitted to the treaty-making powers OF
the two countries respectively, deserve at
tentive consideration; that in the opinion
OF this Committee an agreement OF recip-
rocal trade would greatly promote COM
mercial interests, as iG would confirm the
ancient antilles OF the great contracting
parties.
ResolRd that the reduction Of port char
ges being an essential step towards the en-
couragement Of foreign commerce, this
convention strongly recommends the mer-
chants Of every shipping port to use their
utmost endeavor to secure their reduction
SO fur as may be consistent with the gener-
al interests Of trade.
Resoltd, That in view OF the great OBJ
stacle presented to foreign commerce by
the bars at the mouth OF the Mississippi,
and OF the success which has attended the
present efforts for their removal, this Con-
vention urges upon the Government the
paramount importance and necessity OF
prosecuting the work already begun, until
the greatest possible improvement is fully
and permanently assured.
Resolved, That we recognize the great
forming with its connections an
all rail route from all sections OF our coun.
try TO within 90 miles of Havana, reducing
the time from New York to Cuba from
1872 hours to about 60, and afiording an
outlet for the surplus products OF great
Ohio, and Is 9S2 miles shorter to Cuba
than by way Of New York, a line calculat-
ed to bring us in closer mail communica:
ton with the West Indies, Central and
South America, and We urge upon the
It's completion as calculated to
greatly promote our trade with those

Tho s,rIke at the chicago stock Yards.

CntcAGo, H., December 6.-The strike
at the stock yards continues, and this
morning Armour & Co., hearing that their
men proposed to quit work, Immediately
discharged them and hired others. There
are 5000 hogs on sale at the yards, and
the Stock Yards Transit Company have
notified all railroads to take no more hogs
until further notice, there being no accom-
modations for them ut present, and on nc
count Of the unprecedented low prices for
provisions, packers don't care to engage
more heavily in business than necessary.
There is no probability Of the strikers get
ting theirs terms. It Is reported that the
strikers are waiting for some advance from
the employers to get back at old prices.
The strikers ut the stock yards seemed
more reasonable this afternoon and it is
expected that they will go TO work in the
morning at the old rates. The packing
company has arranged to send its hogs to
East Louis ii the strike continues.

army cost 81 900, 900, while the transporta-
ton OF food, clothing, etc, for the Indians
only cost $225, 900. A glance would show
that the Department Of the Interior got
It's transportation at cheaper rates; He
did not attribute any OF these things
to dishonesty Of the army, but rather 70
their cavalier way OF looking at and deal
ing with things. Soldiers never thought
OF the cost OF thing II it was thought to
be necessary; as an instance, he mention
ed that at the close OF the Sioux war there
were about &C, 900 horses, ponies and mules
taken from the Indians for which cows
were to be given to them, and 1t turned
out that these ponies and mules cost Sol ,4l2
beside the COWS, and that to sell them
cost S., ,0S3 additional. This was an in
stance OF their cavalier way, which was
not found in the Interior Department.
G. G. Watkins, Inspector OF the Indian
Department, followed Schurz and opposed
transfer. He explained the mode OF in.
speCtion OF Indian supplies.
Friend Miles gave his reasons why con-
troll Of the Indians should not pass TO the

| LONDON, December 6.-Betore the pass
age OF the message in the House OF Com
mons, Mr.. Mccarthy Downing, complain.
ed OF the absence in the royal speech oi
any promise to redress the Irish grievances.
NIessrs. Porter and Sullivan, Irish mem.
bers, protested against the Afghan war.
The Home Secretary promised that when
the last OF the message for the session was
produced, 1t would be found that Ireland
had not been forgotten. ~
In the House OF Commons, this after
noon, Mr.. Whitbrod, Liberal, gave notice
tina. he would offer resolution disapprov-
ing the Afghan war, and asked for the ap.
pointment OF day for its discussion.
The Chancellor OF the Exchequer said he
could not postpone the discussion OF the
Government, and the resolution was fixed
for Monday next. Upon this announce
ment Lord Harrington applied TO the
Government to give place to Alr. Whit
brod's resolution. Mr.. Gladstonesupport-
cd Lord Hartington's appeal, but Sir Stat
ford Northcote stating that the Govern
ment's motion, not necessarily meaning to
charge all costs OF the war to India, he
could not consent 10 adjourn the discuss
ion.
The Secretary OF State for India, in the
House OF Lords, and the Under Secretary
for India, in the House Of Commons, will
Monday move the following resolution: +.
Res0ired, That Her Majesty having di-
rected military expedition OF her forces
charged upon the Indian revenue, to be
dispatched against the Ameer OF Afghan
istan, this House consents that the reye-
nues OF India shall be applied to defray
the expenses OF military operations which.
may be carried on beyond the confines OF
Her Majesty's Indian possessions.
Northcote ultimately yielded, andagreed
to postpone the report on the address till
Monday, when it will be the first subject
to be discussed, and Whitbread's resolu-
ton will be moved as the amendment
thereto.
Lord Harrington gave notice Of the in
tention OF himself and his followers to
support Whitbread'sresolution.
SIR Stafford Northcote said: The refer
ence in the dispatch OF Lord Lytton to
the possibility Of direct understanding
between England and Russia for wiping
out Aighanistan, could be only regarded
as personal opinion Of the Viceroy as to
the probable result OF the Ameer's policy.
There was no ground for supposing 1t re-
ferred to any direct or formal proposal.
DIVIDE THE spolLs.
In influential quarters 1t is believed that
an arrangement with Russia for the settle
ment OF the Central Asia question Is on
the tapis, and it is likely to assume the
form Of a partition OF Aighanistan.

vienna, Dec. G.-The ministerial crisis
at Constantinople has produced very un-
favorable impression here; kheireddin
Pasha, the new Grand Vizier, Is one OF
Austria's bitterest adversarics. He urged
the Sultan to forcibly resist the Austrian
occupation OF Turkish territory. He is
regarded here MS an unscrupulous schemer,
capable OF fastening Turkey to her ruin.
The change Of the Ministry is believed to
be mainly attributable to Russian intrigues.

u,nt. for our West virginia Farmers.

In an address ut the International Dairy
r,ir in New York, on Monday evening,
General b. +. Butler sought to dispel the
Sll,cy that successful dairy farming re-
"ni,es the ownership OF very extended
..,eoyc 1t is doubtless true, as pointed
on, by General Butler, that the common
iSsa Of dairy farm" is the proprietary
Ja domain which in Europe wouldbe al
NM, A principality. On the contrary, the
G,iry like all other agricultural indus
,,irs, may be most proltably carried on by
,bo.e whose lands are OF the most limited
,,,4nt and the most highly cultivated.
In other words, that the COW is most
p,oRtably kept and produces the best re-
.nl,s where land is the most subdivided.
The condition Of agriculture in France is
cited in proof Of this statement. In 1868,
before losing part OF her territory Us
,e,ult Of the war with Germany, France,
with not so much area as Texas, raised
more wheat than the United States
all told. In that year the wheat crop Of
France was $50 ,O0O, 900 bushels, and for the
s,ne period the wheat production OF the
United States was only about 240, 100000
bashels. In 1867 we sent to England
wheat to the value OF S0,0OO,OOO, while in
the same year France sent to EnglandSll,-
mOOO worth Of butter to spread on the
bread made from our wheat. AS an exam
ME Of what may be the profits Of the
smaller industries Of farming, which, by the
farmers OF the United States are reckoned
almost yaluelcss, it is IN astonishing fact
that in the year 1865 France exported as
much in value of eggs to England alone
a. We exported Of bacon and hams. Two
Shhs Of the people in France live in the
cities and thrce.tifths live in the country.
This is surprising result as compared
with England, where four-ffths OF the
whole people live in towns and one-fifth
only in the country. There are nearly g.
10000 houses in France, and far the
greater part Of them cottages, with small
plots Of land. Nearly the whole OF this
number arc small ireeholds belonging to
their occupants. 1t is plain that the secret
Of these wonderful results in the tillage
Of the soil is the minute subdivision of the
land. -l.r 0H -'-
