If this resolution is adopted, and the West is fairly represented on the committee, it is claimed it will eman cipate the commerce of the West from the shackles of the East, and the growing trade of the Mississippi Val ley will be greatly indebted to its new member, General Chalmers, who has already impressed himself favorably upon the House, both as a speaker and thinker. women’s petition.

Resolved, That no member of the majority should undertake tlie forma tion of a Cabinet without a stipulation for freedom of uction, and guarantees against the recurrence of events sim ilar to those which have just occurred. THE REPUBLICANS GAIN THE ELEC TIONS. In tlie Department elections the Republicans have, on an average, gained one ortwoarrondissements, or general councillors, in each Depart ment.

What I*Ir. llar|M*r May* About T«*n Broeck---A Ntml of Forty-live llor«e* —Vntereaflnic View* on Rnelng and Rare florae*. X. V. Herald, 1«?.] Mr. Harper, tlie owner of Ten Broet'k, is now watching Ills famous horse at Jerome Park night nnd day. He and Ten Broeck arc almost one; he enres for him as tenderly and ns affectionately ns he would for ids own wife, and, us lie is a bachelor, there is no woman to lie jealous of Ten Broeck. When Mr. Harper is compelled to close his eyes for a few hours’ sleep or hurry to liis liastv meals at a neigh boring boarding-house, his trainer, Hurry Colston, a good-looking darky witli a little, trig mustache much dnrkor titan his skin and bearing evi dences of careful cultivation, watches over the precious charge, if not with fluinliig sword, at least witli u very alert eye. How many visitors to Je rome Park, who, having not even been deterred liy the rain, hail come out to see tlie celebrated rival of Pa role, had to return to tlie city yester day in a supreme state of disgust be ~~r. Harper wo mid not allow ven a peep at Ten ;ct a peep tlie visi- euuse Mr them to take Broeck! “He’s got his clothes on,” he would mumble, evasively. "It's ho damp tlmt I’m afraid lie'll catch cold.” "But, Mr. Harper, may I not look at him as ho is? If I just get a of his head I’ll be satisfied," tor would expostulate. Tlie relentless Kentuckian would only shake ills bead and murmur something about tlie danger of open ing tlie door and letting in a cold draught. How many men—"the no blest works of God”—were ttiere in New York yesterday as carefully pro tected against a cold as was tliis 'noble and almost priceless quadruped? TEN BROECIt’S OWNER. The readers of tlie Herald already know how Ten Broeck looks, but something of the great interest excited by tlie horse ulso attaches to its mas ter. Mr. Harper, his owner, is the perfect type of a certain hard-grained tough eluss of the Kentucky country man or farmer, a big, raw-boned, heavy-shouldered man, with a sharp, roughly-cut, long, red face, prominent nose und high cheek bones, thin lips, smooth alia veil, and with u bristly gray beard covering tlie chin anil fulling full over the necktie. A man who has spent all his life out of doors, and witli u good deul of dogged perse verance in Ids heavy eyes, which he keeps riveted to the ground as he speaks, Mr. Harper is a rattier silent man. He says but little, and seems to feel ill at ease in conversation. Nevertheless, tin writer wus able to draw out some interesting facts re- ? ;arding the man and ills horses dur- ng a visit which he paid to Mr. Har per yesterday. THE HARPER FAMILY. “Are tlie Hurpel's natives of Ken tucky?” was one of tlie questions askeu. “We are of Dutch origin,” Mr. Harper replied,speaking with that ta ble accent prevalent in tlie BANQUET TO GRANT. Special to Enquirer-Sun.] Pauls, Nov. 6.—The banquet given in honor of Gen. Grant by the Amer ican residents of Paris to-night was a remarkably brilliant affair.

Harper, used to train and run horses, lie was pretty successful at il, too, tint he never went outside of Kentucky.” “Have you any sous that have in herited your snorting abilities?” “No, sir; I'm a bachelor,” Mr. Hurper replied dryly. "Ten Uroeek’s my wife, lint I’ve got several neph ews wlio know Hometiling about hor ses—the eldest Is twenty-two. I don’t know, though, what they’ll do with my horses when they get them." FORTY-FIVE HOUSES. “How many horses liuvtsVou, Mr. Harper?” "I’ve got forty-live. They’re all Kentucky bred.” “Will vmi kindly tell me bow most of them are bred?”' "Well, I’ve got sixofthem by En dorser, out of Wagonette, out of Fun ny (J., by Margrave. One is Fanny Wells, by Sovereign, out of Reel: one by Planet, one by Knighthood one by Joe Stoner, out of Sue Wash ington' two’mares by Endorser, out of Hue Washington; lour three-year- old lilies by Longfellow, two one- year-old fillies by Enquirer, five two- year-olds by Longfellow; eight stud colts anil two yearling fillies, a marc by Extract, but of Nanturu; four or five sucking colts, one by Toni Bowl ing, and the other by Longfellow; Neey Hale, by Longfellow, out of Merriam, by Glencoe. Of course, you know ubout Longfellow and Ten Broeck. I can’t remember them all, of course.” “What are the names of ull your horses?” “Oil, 1 couldn’t begin to think of them all. There is Neey Hale; Ex tract, Eudora; Platina and Fanny Wells, two half sisters to Ten Broeck —I am breeding them. Lizzie Stone —she was very fast, but broke down. Sally M., a two-year-old filly by Longfellow: Platina, a two-year-old gelding; Wild Fellow; Dunkirk—he is an Enquirer and half sister to Ten Broeck, a very promising colt; and Hetty Hathorn, out of a half sister to Ten B about ten years ago. I went with him to Lexington, Louisville, Nash ville, Long Branch, Saratoga, Ford- hum, &c., where lie ran horses. Be fore that I kept altogether at farm ing.” "Where did you get your trainer?” "Oh, my uncle raised him, and he was grooming Longfellow and break ing our colts when I got hold of him. Everybody told methen, “Oh, you’ve got to get ’a professional, experienced trainer,” but I knew my man and kept him along, and now Hurry Colt- son is tlie front rank of the profession. Of course, all horses are bound to get off some time or other, even with the best trainers.” “You look after your liorseyourself, though, do you not?” "Oil, I don’t bother mucli with them,” Mr. Hurper returned with an air of coldly assumed indifference. "1 just tell my trainer to attend to them, and 1 foot the bills, Units all. At home I don’t go to the stables generally over once a week.” “What do you think of the Ken- tncky breed ?" "r’tliink they are the best in the world,” Mr. Harper replied witli wonderful readiness and an emphasis which showed that lie did not think tliat tills point admitted of much de bate. “What do you think of your past experience on tlie turf?” "Weil, think I’ve had pretty good luck. My uncle trained horses from eighteen to tlie age of seventy-one, ane lie got Longfellow, and I’ve been only three years at it and I’ve got Ten Boeek. But for me Ten Broeck wouldn’t be a racing horse now. He wanted to ulter him, and I had to beg him not to do it." He uilded, with tlie first glow of warmth which he had shown during the interview, “I wisli he were alive to see him now and see what he can do!” He paused for a minute, und then a cloud passed over his countenance us he added, in a subdued voice, “But, then, if he were alive he wouldn’t let him run here. He wouldn’t travel much. Louisville was as fur as he’d go in his older days." THE TURF IN ENGLAND. “Do you take any interest in racing in tlie Old World?’’ "Oh, I read about it, of course, but I’m too old to go there.” "How does it compare with our na tive turf?" "Well, I don’t know anything about their horses over there ; all I know is that they can’t bring any of them here to beat ours. I know they’ve brought here a good many young ones, and they never did any good. I think tlie English homes cross well oil our mares ; our mares give them good legs and good bot tom.” "Which do you consider the best of our Eustern horses? "Well, I think Kingfisher was the best you ever had here, although I don't think lie would have beaten Ten Broeck in his prime,” and Mr. Harper added, with an air of affec tionate pride which lit up liis whole rugged, stolid face, "I don’t think any horse cun heat Ten Broeck when he'Is Ten Broeck,” und he warmly repealed this sententious phrase, lay- tar a great emphasis on tlie “is,” and witli the writer’s best wishes for the future success and glory of his pet horse, the interview terminated, Mr. Hurper remaining still as a sentinel at the stable door to wateli over the noble creature to which the old bach elor is wedded.
