Address J. n. RLEVES 7S Nassau St., New Yerk' ' Sept. 1.1 v A HEX COXVEMOX. On rriday, Februaiy 1 4 tli St. Valentine's Day the hens on the ranch of Peter Jones, Esq., two miles north of Portlaml, held a Convention. They had learned that Mrs. Dnniway of the JS'cic JVortlnrest, had called a Convention of the strong-minded ol the weaker sex and the weak-minded of the stronger sex of the human species, to meet in Portland on that day, for the purpose of declaring for woman's rights, and they therefore, deemed it an opportune time for them to hold a Convention for the purpose of declaring for hen's rights. Peter, who understands "hens' talk" to perfection, noticing a lot of old hens together with two or three of his old emasculated roosters (who had for some time been denied mautal privileges by the game cocks of his poultry yard) making tracks for an old shed along side of his hay-stack, followed them up, and when he ascertained the object of the Convention, he proceeded to take notes, and has furnished the same to us, our enterprise enabling us to pay more roundlv for the same than any of the Portland dalies were enabled to do, which we lay before our readers : After the7 had assembled to the number of some fifteen or twenty, old Mrs. Shanghi moved that Mrs. Dorking take the chair. This motion was seconded by an old speckled hen, whereupon old Aunty Shanghi put the motion, and after a unanimous cluck from the liens, deehuvd the motion carried. Mrs. Dorking was then escorted to the chair, which was a little-pile of rotten straw, and declared the Coir, entiou open for business. .V little brown hen arose and said that she thought it would be proper for some one to state the object of the Convention, ami she therefore called upon old Mrs. Shanghi to do this, as she was a sort of leader in the movement. Here followed loud clucking for Mrs. Shanghi, during which she mounted the straw pile, and spoke as follows: MIIS. S-IIAXOMl's SI'KliCir. J ML, a- 7fi,.t: Wo are assem bled at this time for the purpose of asserting "hen's rights." For six thousand years, in fact, ever since "Old Adam was born," as the poet, hath it, hens have been compelled to do all the laborious work about furnishing eggs and propagating our species, while the roosters, who arrogate to themselves the proud tith 1)1 COCKS of the "walk" do nothing in the world but dress up in their Sunday best ami strut around us. (Oreat sensation, with cries of "loo true.") We do all the drudgery of the hen world, for which the roosters think us amply recompensed if they but walk around with us, and Hatter us by bestowing their profound attention on us, and the hens ever since our gre at natural ancestor laid the first egg in the arden of Felon, have for these idle attentions slavishly deme all the drudgery work. Put the world is getting wiser. Women are striking fen their rights, and now is the time for hens to st tike lor theirs. (Oreat applause.) liens must claim a little of the strutting privileges now all arrogated by the roosters, and shirk oil nj. on lliem some of the drudgeries of our species. We will no longer submit to be at the bottom everv time. (Enthusiastic aiuilauseO We are iust as good as the roosters and there is no sense in allowing thein to rule over us as they have always done1. Ileus, will you any longer be skives 'i (Oreat clucking and confusion.) Will you do all the drudgery and be silent? (Increased clue king.) If not, then let us strike for the rights of liens, to be on an equality with roosters. Here old Mrs. Shanghi all out of breath, waddled offof the old straw pile amidst renewed applause. After comparative silence was restored, Mrs. Cochin China moved that a committee on resolutions be appointed. This motion prevailed, an I the chair appointed a committee of two old hens and one dilapidated old rooster, who, afier having gone around Xo the oilier side of the haystack and staid for some time, came back, and the old rooster reported the following resolutions to the Convention : KKSOLUTIONS. Whereas, In the course of hen events it becomes necessary, in order to keep up with other feminine species on this globe, to discard old rules and establish new ones, suitable to the times, Juso'rt J, That we, the hens on Peter Jones' ranch, assembled in Convention, declare our jmrpo.se to never cease scratching and clucking until we get our rights as guaranteed under the fouiteenth and fifteenth amendments. That we declare it to be only just and right for the roosters to share with us the burden of hen's existence, and to that end, we do afiirm our unalterable purpose to require of the vooters. COURTESY OF in as much as we have to lay the eggs, that they shall henceforth, as their share ot life's duties, sit upon them and hatch them out. Jicsolcol, That we demand of the roosters that hereafter they shall do half the scratching for our young progeny, while they shall allow us to do 1 1 ill f the crowing. JixolccJy That the sympathy of this Convention be now tendered to the women in Portland, who now; like us, are striking for their rights. Jkcttvlced, That the thanks of this Convention be tendered to old Mrs. Shanghi for her great efforts in behalf of hen's rights. After reading the above resolutions, the sick old cock who read them, moved that they be adopted by acclamation. Before this motion was put, a young pullet suggested that the resolutions ought to be amended so as to require the roosters to lay half the eggs : but several old liens rose and told her that, although that would be no more than iair, they regretted to say that they believed the thing to be impossible. Another young hen thought that that portion of the resolutions which demanded the right to tlo half the crowing, was inoperative, as she elid not believe that hens could crow. This remark caused great excitement and wrath among the old hens, and brought to her feet old Mrs. Shanghi, v." ho said she was surprised to hear such a remark from any hen of any sense. She saiJ that hens could crow as well as roosters, after they got used to it. It was all a habit that had heretofore been arrogated exclusively by the roosters. She herself had been practicing to crow for two or three years, and she believed that she could crow as well as any rooster in the land. Here arose on all sides the cry of '"question," "question," whereupon the chair hen put the resolutions, and declared them unanimously adopted. Here one old hen, whose time had come to lay her egg, and who had been for sometime moving about uneasiiy, moved that the convention adjourn, which motion prevailed, and the Hist hen's Convention in Oregon was declared adjourned nitc id'. The Printer's Instate. The ori liter's dollars where are thev? A dollar here, and a dollar there, scattered over numerous small towns all over the country, miles and miles apart how shall they be gathered together? The paper maker, the building owner, the journeyman compositer, the grocer, the tailor and his assistants to him in carrying on the business having their demands, hardly ever so small as a single dollar. Put the mites from here and there must be patiently gathered and diiigen ly hoardcel,or the wherewith to dis charge the liabilities will never be come sulliciently bulky. We im agine the printer will have to get up an address to those wildly scat tered dollars, something like the following: 'Dollars, halves, quarters, dimes and all manner of fractions into which ye at3 are divided, collect yourselves, ami come hemic: xo are wanted! Combination of all sorts of men that help the printer to become a proprietor, gather such force and demand with such rea sons your appearance at this coun ter, that nothing short of a sight of you "will appease them! Collect yourselves, lor valuable as you are in the aggregate, single you will never pay the cost of gathering. Come in her-, single file that the printer may form you in'o a batal lion, and send you forth again, to battle for him and vindicate his credit." Pender, are you sure you haven't a couple or four of the printer's dollars about you? (Jo down into your pocket and see, and if you have, go straightway and pay him for he is in want of the money to enable him to furnish you with the paper every week, and to keep his little ones from crying for bread. Co right along ami pay your print er what von owe him. Congressmen are earnestly agi tating the necessity of increasing their pay to -M 0,000 per year. In view of the Kansas bribery devel opments that amount does not seem extravagant, for, if it takes G0,000 for a man to buy his way into an office which he is to hold for six years and that is the amount claimed to have been ex pended by CahTwell how in the world can he "get even" on a less amount? To be sure ordinary peo ple might see another method in the inauguration of more honesty and the doing away with the whole sale bribery 'that has come to char acterize so" many of our popular elections, but then common people cannot be expected to understand the necessities or the ethics that govern politicians. l'ainesviUe Journal. BANCROFT LIBRARY, A Neat l,ittlc Procession. From The New York Sun. On the -1th ot March the follow ing 'talented and high toned pro cession will proceed down the Cap itol steps at Washington, and af ter appropriate Music by the Ma rine Panel, be elispersed to various parts of te country: The Hon. Schuyler Colfax, of South Pend, Indiana. The lion. James W. Patterson of Dartmouth College, Xew Hamp shire. The Hon. James Harlan, of the Washington Chronh'le newspaper. The lion. Samuel C. Potneroy, of Atchison, Kansas. Old Ames. The procession will halt at the foot of the avenue and be address by Mr. Colfax, with the following remarks, accompanied by a smile: "Xeither Oakes Ames nor any other person ever gave or offered to give me one share, or twenty shares, or two thousand shares, in the Credit Mobilier or any other railroad stottk, and unfortunately I have never seen or received the value of a farthing out of the two hundred and seventy per cent div idends, nor the eight hundred per cent dividends in cash, stock and bonds you have read about every day for the past month, nor one hundred per cent, nor one per cent, nor the tenth of one per cent." Mr. Colfax will then repeat the following challenge, uttered and published in the teeth of the whole world at South Pend in Septem ber last: "I have said that I would like to buy twenty shares at par, if attain able in the Sludebaker wagon Com pany or the Pirdsell Clover Sepa rator Company here; and I chal lenge either e:ie of the last two companies to give me such an op portunitv now or hereafter." He will be followed by Prof. Pat terson, who by special request will positively for the last tinm repeat his touching farewell te public life in the following beautiful language: "Of this outrage done It) the fair fame of nun who have lived without reproach for half a century bv driving them into the gaze of the public with a scourge of epi thets which should be laid upon the lowest criminal with caution; of the torture inflicted upon men sensitive cd" their good names by subjecting them te Legislative in quisilions without sullicient reason, I may take occasion to speak elsewhere-; but here I close, simply re marking, if such things are to con tinue1, all decent men will leave public life, as I do, with pleasure and not with regret." The Pev. Mr. Harlan, before pronouncing the benediction, will hold up to public scorn and repro bation two checks of Mr. Duraut for -$5,000 each, with the following impertinent discourse: "The expenditure of money at elections is a growing evil. The apology fordoing it on one side is that it is done on the other, and the peril grows out of the fact that il is ofte-iNiandled by unscrupulous agents, make a use of it not contem plated by those who furnish it. A imblie sentiment that will make it perilous ie ;i iiiiium.iii; 10 .iiiim iiie- expenditure of money to iuiluence elections without restricting its uses within clearly prescribed lim its is one that need strengthening by all the arguments our best men and purest journals can adduce." The Hon! Samuel C. Pomeroy, known to the general public as the "Christian statesman," and to the lobby as "Subsidy Pom," will fol low "lb-other Harlan, bearing on his manly shoulders a transparency bavin0" one side inscribed with the following ceitiHcate of character, eulogy and obituary, from the pen of tlie eminent saint who precedes him : "We are utterly at a loss to ac count, for such a representation of Mr. Poineroy. Those who know him intimately and well believe him to be one of the truest and purest of our public men, as the'y know him to be one of the most generous. Pis benefactions have made hundreds of worthy families reioice. Those who ought to know him thoroughly regard him a-; sin gularly unselfish, caring only for monev as he can use it, not to ag grandize himself, but to accomplish some good." On the opposite side of the trans parency of the truest and purest and most generous of our public men olleiing in his ".singularly un selfish wav" -??,000 in greenbacks to State Senator York, of Kansas, "not to aggrandize himself, but to accomplish some good,'' and. make "hundreds of worth v lamiues re ioice.'' The dastardly conduct of York, in turning over the whole sum to the speaker of the Kansas Legislature and thus obstructing ami defeating a benefaction which might have made hundreds of R-orthy families rejoice will be only referred to in the inscription: "Man s inhumanity to man makes countless thousands mourn. Olel Amesjiiay or may not make some remarks. He is a man of in termittent memory and spasmoelic utterance'. lie will be accompan ied by an army wagon containing vouchers ami memoranela. Jim Xye would like to accom pany the procession, but being a man of profane discourse, and hav ing threatened to lead Prof. Patter son over to the Patemt Office and deposit him as a "model of a damn ed fool," he has been barred out. Aside from the gentleman nam ed no wind instruments will be al loweel in the line. Senator Pome roy, being an earnest advocate of hepior prohibition, insists that no one, even in the band, shall take a horn on the occasion. The flags on the Capitol would be placed at half staff on the occa sion of tlie departure of so much virtue and frugality, were it not that, with Caldwell, Clayton and Chandler already in the Senate, and Patterson, of South Carolina, Jones of Nevada, and Allison, of Iowa, coming in, the outgoing saints will not be missed much. His Mission. Hon. Samuel J. Payard, of Xew Jersey, lias written a lette r. dated January 21, in which he says: " I am satisfied that our Straight out movement was right ; and that it accomplished its purpose. It was a protest elesigneel to defeat the coalition and give the Democrats an opportunity of organizing their part)'. It did rouse the elements of Democratic revolt against the Paltimorc bargain and sale traders. Put they have neither the wisdom nor the honesty to acknowledge their mistake and to resucilate the party on the basis of the platform of the Louisville Convention. 1 will not act with those who be trayed us, nor with those who can be betrayed with impunity, who have neit her the moral courage to resent a foul wrong nor the sagacity to adopt the only course which can retrieve with honor the errors of the past. I shall hereafter act and vote with the Pepublican party a iartv which knows its friends. and is not led by its enemies, I was with them in heart during the whole war, and nothing but very peculiar personal considerations and circumstances prevented my acting with them from and after the attack on Fort Sumter. The mission of the L-traightouts is ac complished, and the coalation party has an offensive ordor which is in tolerable. It is a spurious, illegiti mate offspring of counterfeit Re publicanism. The genuine, original Pepublican party is preferable to my such hybrid progeny. If the Hon. Samuel is not a fool the above is the coolest affair we ever heard of. And yet, while a majority of those who met at Louisville were the very salt of the earth, there were a good many as' utterly rotten as tlie above person shows himself to be. The Straight- out Democrats refused to support reeley because he represented Grantism, Mongrelism, niggcrism, in fact amalgamation; but a greater number supported him because they hoped he had outlived this hideous uevilism, and if elected, would finally abandon it and come out a white man at last, but the Hon. Sam. says he has been a Plack Pepublican at heart ever since the attack on Fort Sumter, anel now ives notice that he will act with the black party! How such a man could take exception to Greeley passes our comprehension ; but we can easily understand his assertion that such " Straightouts" as him self fulfilled their "mission" when Grant was elected. AT Y. York Habits. Habits have more to do with our success in life1, with our happi ness or misery, than all other causes combined. Py habits we mean those manners of doing every day things which have become by practice so much a part ot our character that we involuntarily fall into those manners, and only avoid them by an effort.
