Vhatbvbb may be the merits of the question concerning a contraction of the Yolame of oar currency, there is haj pily one kind of con traction which will be hailed with joy by the whole country; and there la no reasonable doubt of its feasibility. We refer to the con templated action on the part of Congress which looks to the material reduction of the national expenditure?, and snob an adjustment j of the sources of revenue as will thereby be j rendered possible," to the great relief of a peo ple overburdened by taxation. The Secre tary of the Treasury, in Lis recent report, estimates the expenditures of the fiscal year ending with June SO, 18C9, as follows: For the Civil Service 851.000,030 For J'eriflons and Indiana 31.(100 000 For the War Department proper fU.KKi.OiiO ; For ountlen 25,500,000 For the Mavy ltepiirtuient 'M IHMI.OOO For the Interest on the 1'uolic Debt.... 13J.000.000 , Xolal - ....$372,000,OJ0 j The receipts for the same period, estimated on the present basis of tariff and internal taxa tion," are as follows: From Customs ., From Internal Kevetiue, $145,000,000 , 205,00 1,001) , 1,000,000 , 30,000,000 From Hale of Publio Land From Miscellaneous Bourceu. Total receipts. ,.3S1,000,000 Deduct expenditures 372.000,000 Leaving: a surplus of. 89,000,000 Such are the figures, and they are truly formidable to contemplate. But Mr. Hooper Las introduced into the House of Representa tives a resolution instructing the Committee on Ways and Means to report a bill so modify ing our present system as to reduce the annual receipts to the maximum of $300,000,000. Such a measure will of coarse be worse than useless if Congress is to continue its present system of reckless appropriations. So long as Mr. McCullooh has nntold millions at Lis command, and full authority to expend them, we need look for no contraction from that souroe. As a general rule, it is not only inex pedient bat unsafe to adopt such a theory as that advanoed by Mr. Ilooper. Yet the prin ciple underlying it is the only one which will relieve the stagnation at present prevailing in every branch of industry throughout the country. Economy is the great desideratum, and the only remedy for our Cnanoial distress. And Lere arises the question as to how this I economy can be inaugurated. In the first place, the measure proposed by Mr. Fessenden In the Senate yesterday should receive the Learty endorsement of both Houses. It pro poses a general overhauling of the roll of each House, with the view of a reduction in the number of employ6s, and a general decrease in the expenditure of the contingent fund. But a trifle will be saved by this, it is true, but millions are made up of trifles, and if economy is infused into all the multitudinous branohes of the Government, the result will show largely in the aggregate. Not only the two Houses of Congress, but every department of the Government, must be brought within the rule. In this connection, we must ex press our unqualified condemnation of the scheme to." increase the salaries of the employCs of the different offices at Washington. It Las received the high sanction of General Grant's endorsement, much to our regret, as the country Las been led to anticipate a different course on the part Of the General of the army. If such measures for swelling the national expenses are to re ceive Lis support, Lis commendable action in cutting down the expenses of the Department of which he Las temporary control, will be more than counterbalanced. " Wo understand tbat anotLer measure is soon to be presented to tho Senate which will forward the movement towards economy. It is proposed to subject the diplomatio and con sular system of the country to a general revision, and in doing so, Congress will have an excellent opportunity for making consider able inroads upon tbe (51,000,000 at which Mr. MoCulloch Las placed the estimated ex penditures of tho civil list for 1809. There are a great number of highly ornamental but altogether useless missions maintained by us abroad, for the especial benefit of aged aud decayed politicians, all of which, including the incumbents themselves, can be safely and . profitably abolished. Included in these reformatory measures ehould be the real estate agenoy which Mr. ' Seward has established in the State Depart ment. Alaska Las been fairly and squarely bought, aud It must be as fairly and as squarely paid for. The stipulated $7,200,000 belongs to the Russian treasury, and not to our own; and the sooner the House of Repre sentatives completes the arrangements for transferring the amount, the more credit will they reflect upon the nation. St. Thomas, however, ia a different place. Whlla the former is frozen up, the latter is generally gUp. . posed to Lave been drowned out. As ice bergs are able to bold their Leads above water, they can be put to some use; but a sunken or a Mazing island would prove an incumbrance to Mrs. Toodles herself. After all, St. Thomas migLt eventually prove of some value, bat it will do no barm for the. Senate to pause and carefully examine the Bubject before confirm ing the treaty. The proverbial rottenness Which afflicts the kingdom of Denmark may pobuiUy extend to all its dependent islands. lint the true and ouly practicable method of relieving our financial embarrassments is to apply the prunlng-knife to every porson in the employment of the Federal Government. The following practical, though not very elegant, advice of the New York Tribune in reference to our foreign ministers should find a general application: "On Iho 17,W10 fellows clown to 812 000, the 112,000 Pimp to 1 0 000; tho JlO.OWs to J7.IM. an.l tlio 7S0thi to $.'0(K), ami perhans noma of tho Fntrlots may throw up their otllcos In distrust, f half of ibero did, and no others oonld be found to fill their pliices, so luucti the belter." And If the material interests of the country, either at home or abroad, should be found to suffer in consequence, we have no doubt but that whole regiments of one-armed and one legged soldiers, who are now undergoing the slow torture of starvation to the melanoholy music of debilitated hand-organs, will again rally to the rescue of the nation. They gave their sweat, and blood, and mangled limbs for a trifle; and, if they had the opportunity, they would gladly devote their heroio rem nants to the publio service for a moiety of the gum which is now received by able-bodied men who can follow the plough with profit to themselves and the country. Thfi National Republican Convention Its Time aud Place of meeting. Yestfuday, the National Republican Commit tee appointed at the Baltimore Convention, met in Washington and decided to hold the Presidential Nominating Convention of our party, at Chicago, at noon on the 20th of May, 1SC8. There is mucli to commend in the selec tion of both time and place. In regard to the time, we are glad to see that the preposterous idea of holding the Convention ia March re ceived little or no support. Six months is ample time for a campaign too ample, in faot It is an evil under which our country conti nually suffers. Once every year, for two months at least, she is convulsed with the excitement of a political canvass. There can be no possi ble doubt but that great evil is continually done by this agitation. While the caldron is boiling, business is nearly suspended ; political meetings, and not domestio concerns, monopolize the attention of all the people ; thousands of dollars are lost through idleness; habits of looseness in the performance of duties are engendered; and little good is seoured as a compensation for all the ill. We therefore think that the end of May was well seleoted. The last Chicago Convention, whiok placed the successful ticket of Lincoln and Hamlin in the field, was held on the 16th of May. No one can pretend that the country, between then and November, was not thoroughly can vassed. The place also is well fitted. We Lave an almost superstitious opposition to any politi cal movement being held near the capital. It requires the utmost political purity to escape the contaminating influence of Wash ington. Had Baltimore or even Philadelphia been selected, the Convention would Lave been run down with office-holders, who would throng to its meeting, and could not fail to have more or less influence on its action. But Chicago is too far away for any such to venture. There the body will be free from all official corruption. It is in the midst of the radical West, and will draw inspiration from all the surroundings. It naturally tends to secure the nomination of General Grant, for it is Lis own State, where Lis own friends and those who know him best can testify to Lis merits. TLe tLree conventions which Lave been Leld since our party first saw the light, met respectively at Philadelphia in 1856, Chicago in 18 GO, Baltimore in 1864, and will now onoe more meet at Chicago in 1868. The call for the Convention, signed by all the committee, is an eminently judicious and proper document. There is not a word of it to which every member of our party, what ever his minor differences of opinion, cannot earnestly and heartily subscribe: "We Invite the co operation of all citizens who rejoice that our great civil war has nappity terminated In the Ulsoomnture of reDelliou; who would hold fast the unity aud Integrity of the republic, and maluialu lis paramount right to delend to its utmost its own existence while Impel Med by secret conspiracy or armed force; who ate In luvor of an economical administra tion of the public expenditures, of the complete extirpation of the principles and policy or slavery, and of the speedy reorganization of those tiiates whose governments were destroyed by the Rebellion, aud the permaneut restora tion to their proper practical relations with the United btates In accordance with tue true prin ciples of republican government." In the call there nothing to excite the least dis cussion. On the contrary, if all who Bubsoribe to its sentiments attend, we will have a con vention representing every shade of opinion and one Harmonious wnoie. There is one sen tence in the call, which is a key-uote, which should merit the careful attention of the framers of the platform of the party. It is that whioh refers to the neoeS3ity of reform in the publio expenditures. The necessity of the most rigid economy has always been oue of the cardinal principles of our faith. At the Convention in I860, the following was the Bixth plank in our platform: "That the people Justly view with alarm the reokless extravagance which pervades every depart ment of the Federal Government; that a return to rigid economy and account ability ia indispensable to arrest the systematic plunder of the publio treasury by favored partisans; while the recent startling developments of frauds at the national me- i tropolis show that an entire change of ad ministration is imperatively demanded." These words rang out through the country and met with a universal response. To-day the same evils demand the same remedy, and we are glad that the committee saw fit to embody it in their address. With a platform Arm, mild, and embodying the living prin ciples of the day, we are Bare of triumphant eucoess. , Who, Was i to tub Exposition. The tens of thousands of common people who visited the Paris Exposition during the past summer, ruk into absolute lusigulfioauoe whu oota- jared with the loliowlng Uuf of high and mighty personages who oondesoeuded to visit the immense show of Louis Napoleon: Three emperors, seven kings, one vioeroy, five queens, nine grand dukes,, three grand dukis in embryo, two grand duchesses, two archdukes, twenty-two princes, seven priu-oof-sep, five dukes, and two duchesses. Cold Comfort. WiJF.if a man has been for weeks on the very verge of starvation, a platter of cold hash will be magnified in his eyes into a dish that might Lave satisfied Epicurus. So it is with that political starveling yclept Democracy. A jour nal which Las long been kept at a mortifying distance from the flesh-pots of the political Egypt lifts up its voice this morning in the following joyous strain: 'TllUburg, tho Sebantopol of radicalism, has fallen. Tue Democratic candidate for Mayor Wuh elected In liml i lly on tlie loth lust., bv a nixjorlly reartliliig twentyfl ve hundred. At tti Hlate election, the majority for Henry W. Wll lianif, the radical candidate for Supreme Jaifcre, w8 twelve hundred and tlfty-nlue. This shows a enjocralIc gain of thirty-seven hundred aud fUty-riltie lu less than three months. The l)cmocrut ic ca nd ldates for Treasn rer, (u t roller, and (Jit Attorney were also successful." Now for the truth of the matter. James Blackmore, a Democrat, and Samuel Allinder, a Republican, who Leaded the Independent Workingmen's ticket, were elected Mayor and City Treasurer respectively over the Repub lican nominees. With two -tickets in the field against them, the Democrats were wise enough to see that they had not a ghost of a chance for the spoils, and they therefore en dorsed the oppouents of the regular Republi can ticket. . But notwithstanding a consider able defeotion in the Republican ranks, resulting from the new labor movement, the Republican candidate for City Controller re ceived a majority of 282, and the Republican nominee for City Attorney a majority of 416; while in both branches of City Councils the Republicans have secured an overwhelmipg superiority. - In the light of these faots, the baked meats which were about to be served up at the Republican funeral Lave been ex changed for the most unpalatable of cold hash, and the obsequies will probably be tinged with considerable gloom. , EDITORIAL CORRESPONDENCE.

Kansas as a Stock-raising; Country Texas Cattls Markets Opaalng at ths Wtst Kansas Products for Colorado The Dairy Business 1st Kansas. Lawkkncs, Kansas, Deo. 9, 1807.' Topographically, Kansas may be described as an elevated, gently-rolling plateau, intersected by the wlde.sballow valley p of almost Innumer able streams. Tnere is none of tbe flat prairie monotony about It which characterizes' so much of Illinois. The traveller lu passing through tbe State beholds an ever-varying landscape, often of great piciuresqueness and beauty. The view from Mount Oread, near this city, Is one of the finest in the world. The Valley of tbe Kansas from bluff to bluff is here at least five miles wide, while the Valley of the Wakarusa, which Joins It near tbe city, is of almost equal extent, each' doited thickly Willi farms and houses, and skirled here and there with groves of timber. Tbe Kansas or Kaw river is the longest stream in the State. Its chief fork, the Smoky Hill, rises In Colorado towards the foot bills of the Rocky Mountains, and runs lu a general east erly course through the entire State. It Is aloog this great valley, more than four hundred miles In extent, tbat the Union l'dclflo Hallway Eastern Division, Is looated, being already com! pleted and running almost the entire distance from the mouth of the Kansas to the western boundary of the State. A more splendid aud productive body of land can hardly be found in tbe United Slates, nor a more natural and feasi ble route for a railroad. The Kansas river has several large branches flowing Into It from the north, such as the Big lilue, the Republican, 8olom6n's fork, and tbe Saline fork, each of which flows tbrough a re markably beautiful and fertile valley. Tbere are also In Northern Kansas a multitude of small streams, sueh as the Big Stranger and the Little Stranger, the Grasshopper and tbe Ne maha, whose valleys afford the oboicost loca tions for farms and settlements. In Southern Kansas tbere are several large valleys that almost rival tbe Kansas In extent, as they certainly do la beauty of scenery and fertility of soli. The most noted of them is the valley of the Neosho river, an affluent of the Arkansas. The Neosho has two main head streams, the one which bears the name of the full length river, and the other called the Cottonwood. They rise near the centre or tbe Slate, and fall off rapidly towards the south-southeast, uniting near the town of Emporia, and crossing the southern boundary of the State some forty miles west of the Missouri border. The whole extent of this beautiful valley is a perfeot garden. The slope baok to the high prairie is very gentle and gradual; tbe valley is wide and well wooded; the soil Is deep and exhaustless, while the climate, both from decreased eleva tion and a lower latitude. Is considerably milder than that of the northern portion of the State. This Is the favorite region fox stock- growers cattle rarely needing fodder during I the Winter, .it is not less adapted to grain, as tbe bountiful crops of wheat and oorn raised by its farmers abundantly testify. I first visited this valley In 1867, and I shall never forgot with what delight, as we drove down Into the river to ford it, near Burlington, I felt the crunch and beard tbe rattle of the wagon wheels ugainst the stones and pebbles In tbe bed of the stream. The majority of Kansas streams have muddy bottoms, but here was clear water and a pebble-paved bottom. During tbat visit we ollen drove tbrough the tall prairie grass as high as the seat of the buggy. The valley of the Osage river, or, as It Is usually called In Kansas, the llariat del Cygnet (pronounced Mary-de-gene), extends tbrough several of the eastern counties of the State, and Is a very beautiful and fertile one. The Arkansas river flows through quite a large portion of the southwestern portion of the Slate, but It is as yet unreached by the set tlement, and the character of its valley is less fully known than that of the others I have attempted to describe. , It must not be Inferred that it is only along these valleys, and their tributaries, that tbe land is desirable lor settlement The high country between the river valleys Is called "divides," is generally gently rolling, often quite level, and furnishes some of the very best farming lands in the Slate- 1 Indeed, it is the opinion ot some Intelligent farmers with Whom I have en versed, that the high prairie farms w 1th proper culture can be made more profita ble than tbe bottom" farms, . . , ' lit . . i . i ; M i ... : The first ltn pi eastern of a stranger on vUiVlcg Kansas in tbe summer, and beholding its "worlds" of pnsinre thentlre country, when not cultivated, being covero l with a luxuriant growth f jrsrn-would be that this Is a Slate eminently adapted to stock-raising, wo 1 growiug, and dairy pnipns3; and the impres sion is correct. For stock-raising on ;a large scale, I do not know what belter facilities oonld be afforded than those Offered, especially by that part of KansHS lying snuth of the Kansas river, or perhaps, more particularly, that ) art si uth of tbe great Bnnta Ke road. 1 he range for pasturage Is unlimited, and sufficient for mil lions ol cattle. The coit of wintering la vety slight, a little corn now and then being all that is Keeled to keep btootf In tooJ condition that have range In the bottoms; and tbe facilities for marketing, both Eaht and West, aro grow ing more and more perfect. Indeed, wherever stork-raising hse been gone into Intelligently here, and baa been well manntied, the result has been competency or wealth to the ope rator In a very few years. The packing of beef for exportation is beginning to ailraot considerable attention, and bas been entered upon quite largely for the present year In Leavenworth. A considerable trade lu Texas cattle is also springing up farmers here pur chasing them and fitting thera for market by grazlnnand feeding. They can -be brought fresh from Texas at very cheap figure, and after ; bcii'gfed awhile, make excellent. beef. Liige quantities of these cattle were shipped to (Jul- cngo this year by railroad, from Abvllne, a sta- lion a short distance west of KoU Riley, but j they are loo thin in flesh, after their lougjour- ii ey from Texas to make good beef without I first being recuperated by feeding and rest be fuie being shipped. Large herds ol Ilium nre l elrg wiutered Ibis seanou lu the bottoms of ihe Osatte and Net sbo, preparatory to beiu for w Hided to inaiket next spring. There is no belter, sweeter, or tenderer beef than that wnich Is fattened upon tbe prairies of Kan-ms. I a the market here at Lawrence the best cuts, such as we pay from 3d tc 40 rents a poand for lu fhiU Ueiphia, are s ld for from ID to li cents, Kaunas already sends beef aud cattle to the Eastern cities, but eventually her great martlet will be found in the mountainous milling regions of Colorado and jNbw Mexico. Toe building of the railroad up the valley of the Kansas is opening a new outlet for all the pro, eiuris of this seel ion of the State, aud at remu nerative prices. Denver Is as near ast:hloago, and will soon be as easily reached. Cattle an 1 grain can be more .cheaply raised here and transported loUnlorado than they cau be raised there. Already large quantities ot produce are beiug shipped from Hereto points still' further west on the railroad. The constant Influx of lnimigiatlou of itself creates a home market of no inconsiderable Importance. Ihe dairy business has never been gone Into to any great extent by the seniors of Kansas. I cannot undeistand why. Butter has com manded a high price here lor years, and three lotirtbs of all that Is URed In the larger towns Is now brought from tbe East. That ll would pay, aud pay largely, I have no maunerof doubt. Afchiewd farmer, living some seven or eiKht miles from this city, whose wife had learned how to make good butter In Western New York, went Into the business a few years ago, and has grown rich at it, Oihers might do the same thing, but a Western settler would generally rather raise corn at twenty-five cents a bushel than butter at fifty cents a pound. Yet I cannot doubt that ere long the superior facilities of this country for dairy purposes will be turned to prucl leal account, and be made to contribute, as tbey ought, to the wealth of individuals and the Slate.
