hundred per cent. The varied issuesof our bonds and the gold and paper inte rest of the same, is alluded to at some length. This the President declares un just, that equal and exact justice re quires that all the creditors of the arov- ernment should be paid in a currency of equal vaiue, not gold lor one and paper for another. He favors the measure of retiring our paper currency, that the return of gold and silver may cease to be articles of traffic, and return to our avenues ot trade. It is unreasonable to expect, he says, a return to sound cur rency, so long as the government, by continuing to issue irredeemable, fills the chauuels of circulation with depre- ciaieu paper.

The attention of Congress is earnestly invited to a thorough revision of our revenue system, and large reduction in the number of articles taxed is urged. President says peace has been secured with flie Iudians, but that he has no official details from the commission. The reports of the Interior, Navy, War and Postoffice Departments are briefly alluded to, but the figures have been published heretofore. 1. BwaA-r? 1 t-ij ii auaiiDj aura a incident says Mexico is relieved from for eign intervention, and peace reigns in Central and South America.

The United States were creditably represented at the Paris Kxpositioo, and at a general conference of all the nations. Of the Alabama claims the President speaks as follows No -arrangement has been reached for the settlement of our claims tor British depredations upon the commerce of the United States. I have felt it my duly to decline the prop osition of arbitration made by her Majesty's government, because it has hitherto been accompanied by reservations and limitations incompatible with the rights, honors, and interests of our country. It is not to be apprehended that Great Britain will persist in her refusal to satisfy these ju6tand reasonable -claims, -which involves the sacred principle of non-intervention, a principle henceforth not more important to the United Slates than to all nations. The President says that a treaty has been concluded with the King of Denmark, the session of the islands of St.

Thomas and St. Johns to the United States. The President asks pay for Alaska of Congress. The President concludes as- follows The abuse of our laws by the clandes tine prosecution of the African slave trade, from American ports or bv Amer ican citizens, has altogether ceased, and under existing circumstances no apprehensions of its renewal in this part of the world are entertained. Under these circumstances, it becomes a question whether, we shall not oronose to her Majesty's government a suspension or discontinuance of the stipulations for maintaining a naval force for the suppression of that trade.

In the management of cows during the winter, the following are wise sug gestions 1. Always furnish warm and well ven tilated apartments. 2. Observe cleanliness: curry the ani mals daily, and clean out the stalls twice dav. wnmt- A cow's Btomach is a faithful chronometer 4.

KeeD the animals constantly in condition by a full supply of wholesome food and regnlar attendance. 5. In cold weather, the less they are turned out and exposed the better. 6. Give a portion of roots or meal in winter with hay, and more if straw is fed.

Increase it toward spring, and gradually diminish it as the grass comes. 7. Turn cows to pasture gradually an hour the first day, two hours the next, and so on. If any of onr farmer readers have barn yards or cow yards, or corners where cattle haye lain for several years, we conjure them to dig out about a foot of the earth before the ground freezes, haul it upon the grain fields or meadow and fill up with mnck, waste earth from the ravines, or with sods, for the purpose of receiving the manure during the winter. This will afford an immense addition for spring use, which will tell largely in liberal ears of well-matured corn, SPECIAL NOTICES.

SYNOPSIS OF PRESIDENT'S MES A Q-E; The following is a summary of the President's message The President opens by saying that the continued disorganization of the moil, to which the President has so often called the attention of Congress.

is yet a subject of profound and pa- iriouc concern. iie says it is therefore a source ot profound regret in complying with the obligation Imposed upon the President by the Constitution to give Congress, from time to time, in-lormatiou of the state of the Union. I am unable to communicate any definite adjustment, satisfactory to the American people, of the question which, since the clone of the rebellion, have agitated the public mind of the country. Candor compels me to declare that at this time there is no Union, as our fathers understood the term, aud as they meant it to be understood by us. The Union which they established can ouly exist where all the States are represented in both Houses of Congress.

To the President' the process of restoration seems perfectly plain and simple. It consists merely in a faithful application of the Constitution and laws. The execution of the la ws Is not now obstructed by physical force there is military or orther necessitiy, real or pretended. which can prevent obedience to the Constitutian, either or South. All the rights aud all the obligations of States and Individuals can be protected and enforced by means perfectly consistent with the fundamental law.

It is clear to his apprehension that the States lately in rebellion are still members of the National Union. When did they cease to be so The ordinance of se cession adopted by a portion, in most of them a very small portion of their citizens, were mere nullities. If all admit now -that they were valid and effectual for the purpose intended by their authors, we sweep from under our feet the whole ground upon which we Justified the war. The President elabor ates these -views at great length, and then being sincerely convinced that these views are correct. would be unfaithful to my duty if I did not recommend the repeal of the acts of Congress which place ten of the Southern States under the domination of military masters.

If calm reflection shall satisfy a majority of your honorable bodies that the acts referred to are not only violations of the national faith. but in direct conflict with the Constitution, I dare not permit myself to doubt that you will immediately strike them from the statute books. The President proceeds to say- that he has no desire to save, from the just and proper consequences of their crime, those who engaged in the rebellion, but as a mode of punishment the measures under consideration are the most unreasonable that could be invented. Many of these people are perfectly in nocent; and of those who are gnilty with their own consent, the degrees of gnilt are as various as their shades of character and temper; but these acts of Congress contound them all together in one common doom. Indiscriminate vengeance on classes, sects, parties, or upon whole communities, for offenses committed by a portion Q-tthem gatiS- IPLsToramon in the barbarous Ages; but Christianity nnd civilization i .1.

aeAa-eoel Vl lkv. to a punisnmenh cruel auu unjust would meet the condemnation ot ail unprejudiced and right-minded men. The primitive justice of this age, especially in this country, does not consist in stripping whole States of their liberties, and reducing all their people, without distinction, to the condition of slavery. He says he is aware that it is assumed that this system of government for the South is not to be perpetual, it the guarantees of, the Constitution can be broken provisionally to serve a tem porary purpose, aud in a part only of tne country, we can destroy them everywhere, and for all time. Arbitrary measures ofteu change, but they generally change for the worse, lt is the eurse of despotism that it has no halting place.

The president men says 111s mamiest-ly and avowedly the object of the laws to confer the privilege of voting the negroes, aud to disfranchise such a uumber of whites as to give the former a clear maiority of the elections in the Southern States. This, to the minds of some persons, is so important that a vi olation ot the constitution is justified as the means of bringing it about. We are not permitted to do evil that good may come but in this case the end is evil. The subjugation of these States to negro domination' would be worse than the military despotism under which they are now suffering. The blacks in the South are entitled to be well aud humanely treated, and have the protection of just laws, for their rights of person and property.

If it were practicable at this time to give them a government of their own; it is questionable to do so but now they are permitted to elect legislators, organize States, and elect Presidents. No independent government has been maintained by the ne groes. The message goes on to argue the dangers of the elective franchise, and saya that four millions of degraded slaves yesterday cannot be made intelli gent Ireedmen to-day. The President is willing to join in any plan to better the condition of the negroes in all their rights, save traus. mitting to them our political inherit ances.

He alludes to the uncounted millions that the Congressional plan has cost, and says it will increase the burdens ot taxation, and may -bankrupt us. We must delude ourselves. It will require a strong standing army and probably more thau two hundred millions a year to maintain the supremacy of negro governments where they are established. i The money thus thrown away, if put into a Binning lund, would pay the national debt in tifteeu years. It is in vain to hope the negroes will maintain their own ascendancy.

He discusses the extent to which the President may go toward protecting the constitution, and opposing the unconstitutional acts of Congaess. and says it has caused him much solicitude, and he believes the executive resistence to unconstitutional acts might, in high times of party excitement, lead to civil war. The executive would concede much to preserve the peace, but there may be times when he would- have to take a stand regardless of the conse quences. The so-called reconstruction acts do not come within the purview just mentioned, though clearly uncon stitutional, ine people are not wholly disarmed of the power of self-defence in all the northern States; they still hold in their hands the right of protection and the late results of the ballot shows, he sarys, that his faith in the peo ple was not misplaced. The Civil Tenure Bill is next discuss ed.

and denounced as unconstitutional aud extra-judicial, and promotive of fraud in preventing the removal of dis honest officers. The President then elaborately dis cusses the financial question, and invites to it the early consideration of Congress. In comparing the currency circulation of seven years ago with now, he says that the striking facts made it the obvious duty of the Government to take such measures as will enable the holders of the notes and those of the National bouds to convert them, without loss, into specie, or its equivalent; A reduction of our circulating paper medium need not necessarily follow, tbis would depend, on the law of demand and supply; although it should be borne in that by making legal a C2ESAR AUT NIHIL 'Equal to Any and Second to FT!

N. Walker, Palmyra; John Conger, Eudora; J. 11. Harrison, Wakarusa; Thomas S.Murray, Grant Wilson Shannon, and Ely Moore, Lawrence, as a central committee of the county. The following are the resolutions Whbkeas, Our State debt has now assumed the frightful sum of nearly nine hundred thousand dollars, having been nearly doubled within the past year: aud whereas, Douglas county is about to assume the payment of three hundred thousand dollars in bonds to the Leavenworth, Lawrence Galveston Railroad Company, whereby onr annual taxes will be largely increased; aud whereas, our taxes are now over four per with a prospect of being still increased therefore, be it Resolved, That we demanu of our State and county officers the strictest economy in the administration of our totate and county anairs, ana that we are opposed to all appropriations of our public fund, unless the necessities of our people demand them, aud until our people are belter able to stand the oppressive burdens of taxation.

Resolved, That we do not regard a national debt as a national blessing, but, on the contrary, as a sore and great calamity such debts are constant drains upon the naiihood of nations, and pander alone to the passions of the non-producer aud worthless. As citizens, we desire to see our national debt paid, to the last dollar; paid without delay, in the same national currency that the tanner gets tor his products. the artizan for the work of his hands, the laborer for his toil and sweat, and the merchant for his goods. liesolved, 1 hat Uongress torcecl upon the nation a currency 'Teceiveable iu payment of all debts except imports and the interest on the public debt;" and that there might be no misappre hension ot the terms ami intent of the law authorizing the issue of this currency, each note was made to contain a succinct statement of the purpose for which it was intended hence, to pay the public debt in coiu, would be con trary to the law creatine it, manifestly subversive of the legal rights of every tax-nayer and the advocacy of such a i rolicv is an attemnt on the part of un- I Sl.lUUttill3 tCljllBtl UllllUB selves and impoverish meu of less wealth and more toil and we demand that the three thousand millions of bonds on which no Stale, county and municipal tax is paid, shall be placed on the tax-rolls of every State and Territory iu the land, that there may be no unjust discrimination against the poor and in favor of the rich man. Resolved, That the present registry law is unwise, oppressive, expensive, aud, and as we believe unconstitutional.

The election laws in effect prior the passage of this one, were amply suflicicut to protect the purity ot" the ballot-box, and instead of increasing this protection, the operation of this law has temporarily disfranchised many our best citizens; while, iu the enactment of laws which can be made general, it is the duty of the Legislature to give them a uniform operation throughout the State, and not, as in the pres cut instance, to confine their working a few counties. We therefore de-demand that said law be repealed at the next session of our Legislature. Resolved, That we hail with unbounded enthusiasm aud joy the immense victories lately achieved by the Democratic party. They are evidences that the minds of the masses cannot long be successfully led in a wrong lirection, and that their hearts when governed by the salutary influences of peace and left to their natural impulses and dictations, always beat true to the eternal principles which formed the basis of our government at its glorious inception. Resolved, Tiat it is a duty we owe to the Democratic party and we hereby call upon Democrats in all parts of the St; te and county to join us in a recognition of this ditty to organize the party at once, and do all we can to restore onr whole country fTfitg pristine peace, prosperity and vigor, allay tho bitter animosities that have threatened our national existence, purify our politics, mould public sentiment to a just policy toward all sections and classes, and permeate our political system with the theories which were lie promptings of our forefathers when they laid the foundation of the nation.

On motion of Wilson Shannon, it was' Resolved, That power behereby given to he Douglas County Democrat ic Cen tral Committee to appoint a township committee in each township in the county, for the purpose of completing more fully our 'ounty organization. After several addresses, the convention adjourned sine die. WM. CH Rt'a'I'I AN, Ch'rman. N.

aa--a VliMIe Country INseals. The New York Eveuing Post, confesses very wholesomely of the needs of the country, as follows At this particular juncture it is not the cue of statesmen to declaim about national unity, which, iu every legitimate sense, has been secured and established by a method from which there will be uo appeal, and in every other sense means central aggraudijemout. But. it is a time to declaim and to act against the concentration of 1'uuctions at Washington. Already, by a strain of the powers granted, tho centripetal force has become enormous.

Already the whole couutry stagnates nuder a plethora of central legislation a veritable congestion of the brain. What wo waut 110 is depletion a reduction of offices, an economy of expenditure, $. strict and rigid system of, taxation, the stoppage of frauds, a contraction of the volume of the currency, a smaller army, and, in short, a return to the normal condition of things, which the grand and exorbitant, but necessary demands of the war have deranged.

Iu tl)p pourse ot this report, the architect states that some estimate may be formed of the magnitude of the work from the fact that, although the space covered is but square feet, the following amounts of materials have been used in its con struction since April, 1H67, viz 1,7501 2 yards concrete, 2,242,000 bricks, 80,000 cubic feet rubble masonry, 80,000 cubic feet trranite, pounds iron beams, 387,603 pounds cast-iron work, 20,700 pounds wrought-iron anchors, 109,540 feet timber for scaffolding, cf ntres, and platforms. The amount of excavation performed is cubic yards.
