Nothing could better indicate than this the strength *f our position.

When a man acquires the art of reading, as hundreds and thousands of the adult blacks are now doing, his spelling book, his first, second, artd third series, his history, philosophy, and poetry are found in the newspaper. More time will be spent over a news paragraph or a telegraphic item that concerns himself or his country—spring out words and connecting sentences—th^n will bp given to passages of the same length any book. The press becomes the political gospel of the South. Upon lis logio and its truth depend the conversion of popular sentiment and the propagation of a saving grace in politics. know how apt a missionary it is hence their resolve that no converts sha^l be made among them.

By Frank Dinglestedt

translated by J. M. Hart: 16 mo, cloth, extra, $1.50. Putnam & Son, New York, Publishers. This is an artistic novel of high life, is full of scintillations of wit sparkles throughout with vivacity and fanciful humcffr, but does not, like other brilliant fire-workB, leave on the mind a mere momentary and barren impression, for it contains within itself the fire of a true sensibility and pure passion. The plot of the novel turns en a game of cross-marriages, and it contains a refutation of the doctrine of eleotive affinities, as far as that doctrine is dependent of the attraction of opposites.

(Jiov. Baklkk acted wisely in appointing delegates to represent Indiana in the Convention now in session in Springfield) Illinois, for the purpose of considering what measures are necessary to prevent the reintroduction of the Spanish cattle fever, next summer, among Northern cattle, and to consult upon other matters connected with the samt subject. Unle8t *11 the Statea north of the Texas line adopt measures in concert, which are calculated to abate the evil, it may be expeoted that hereafter the community will be exposed to tho losses occasioned by the introduction of a contagious disease among the cattte of, the country, and the risk to human life which would result from eating beef which is unsound and unwholesome.

Uniform legislation is absolutely necassary to prevent the introduction of the evil. There must, also, be full authority to act in the most nummary manner whenever the disease is discovered to exist. There should be power in the Governors of States to order tbe destruction of affected cattle, in order to prevent the infection from spreading. The want of authority to do this, the risk which was encountered of becoming personally responsible fof the value of cattle destroyed had much to do in preventing the institution of such measures as would hare been most proper last summer, in the season of alarm and disaster.

It is to be hoped that this Convention will consult with due deliberation, and make such recommendations as shall b« wise and proper, and that when such recommendations are made, there will be bo delay in the various States of the Union in passing such acts as will be necessary to protect the people. If there is any argument in favor of quarantine iwwa for the protection of human life, there are equally valid reasons for the adoption of suqh regulations in regard to the transportatlon of cattle tig will preserve our healthy herds from contagion, and guard our farmers «nd graziers against losses which to them would be particularly severe. ««.*•£ 1

tbe foli-wi.ig rwon of {114 is of the votaof ttie State of

Wisconsin, which has at last been com[pleted: Ttje vote of Burrett county was rejected for informality. This, together with some Republican votes returned with wrong electors, but meant for BejUcan electors, makes the average vote 108.900. The Democrats average 84,709 actual Bepublican majorityl 24,207.

On Congressmen the vote stands Republican, 107,814 Democrats,, 85,604 Republican majority, 22,208t*

The amendment to the Banking law abolishing the Bank Comptroller's office, the vote stood 16,499 in favor to 1,948. The proposition to charter certain "wild cat" savings banks received a very small vote, only about half of the counties having voted on it at all. The charters are defeated by from 175 to 5,000 majority. The savings bank of Milwaukee came nearest to being carried.

The stuff that juries are made of in Richmond, Va., is well exemplified in the vet diet that was rendered in the case of the murder of H. Rives Pollard. The man Grant was found loaded down with arirs, was caught almost in the very act of shooting, and was so unmistakably pointed out by the circumstances as the assassin that the chivalric populace cheer* ed him as he went to jail, and yet the Coroner's jury found that Pollard was killed by 'some person unknown to the jury!"

LETTER FBOM CHICAGO.

Corroppondence Daily Express.] Chicago, Dec. 1, 1868. Cincinnati once claimed the credit of being the greatest hog market in the country. But in this as in most other respects the superior enterprise and energy of the Chicago business men has transferred the honor. This city took the lead in 1865 and now ranks above all others as a primary market for pork, grain and lumber—those great Btaple articles.:,

THE UNION STOCK TARD8

Are tbe headquarters of the dealers in live stock. Here are gathered men from all parts of the country—Boston, New York, everywhere—who are engaged in purchasing supplies for their respective sections. Tbe yards are located about one mile south of the city limits and some six miles from the Court House. They were laid off in 1865 and cover three hundred and forty-five acres of ground. About one hundred acres are covered by pens, and these are being extended as rapidly as room is required. The hotel and other buildings occupy, forty-five acres. The "Hough House" is a large five story and basement brick building and cost alone, $300,000. Its capacity is somewhat greater than the "Terre HautejHouse.'* it has, so far, proven a paaying institution. Tbe "Exchange" is a three story brick. In it are the-bank, railroad offices, two telegraph offices, prtnting ofBce, and some forty offices occupied by the commission stock dealers, a restaurant and a saloon. The main hall or 'change room is on the first floor, r.ttoan* u.« ...

The yardB are la.id off with an eye to symmetry and convenience. Some of the principal streets are paved with tbe famous Nicholson wooden block pavement The other streets, alleys and all the pens are paved with three inch plank. Many of the pens are covered, and all are kept well cleaned and in perfect order, so that very little stench is, emitted. There are in these yards thirty-one miles of underdrainage, seven miles of streets and alleys, three miles of water troughs in the various pens, tdn iliaa of fead troughs, 2,300 gates,'1,600KPP«& jpens for cattle, and 800 covered pens for hogs and sheep also stable room' for a large number horses. Dexter Park, trotting course, oc cupies a part of the territory,

The supply of water is inexhaustible, being furnished from three water tanks holding an aggregate of 342,OOO gallons The tanks are filled from two artesian wells, respectively 1,195 and 1,200 feet deep. The water flows into the tanks fifty feet high at the rate of 600,000 gal Ions in twenty-four hours. It is thence conveyed in pipes throughoutjthe yards, in each of which is a smalll hydrant or flre plug, to which a hose can be attached in case of fire.

There is a large police force oh hand day and night, the company giving work to 180 employes. The yards have con nectionswith all the railroads of tbe Northwest, and have 17 miles of track and 60 switches or frogs.

The aggregate cost of the greund and improvements is about $2,000,000. The cost of original constructions was $1,675,. 000. Twenty-two million feet of lumber and five hundred thousand pounds of nails were used in the improvement.

The amount of business transactions at the yards is simply immems. Tbe receipts Issat year were 1,600,000 hogs, 350,000 cattle, and about the same num. ber of sheep. About one«half of these wore reshipped to other markets and the other half packed or consumed in this city. The arrivals the past week were 75,635 hogs, 7,789 cattle, 4,802 sheep.

The hog market the past week has been somewhat vascillating owing to the irregularity of the supply. The general average in price has ranged, gross $6,60 to $7,25. A strong effort was made by eastern shippers to run down prices but Chicago packers hold them up to $7,00 for choice. This, and the fact whieh is just become evident that the hog crop is about twenty per cent, short on last year, has been the cause of a good many telegrams from purchasing agents here to eastern firms not to make sales "ahead. The general opinion at present enter tained, among dealers here is a short crop compared with last year. The condition of hogs arriving now is good. Cattle are not so fat, nor the arrivals so large.
