Gen. Pierce's Cabinet.

Cabinet speculations more active than ever
in the region of the metropolis of the Union. Ru-
NOR now assigns CALEB CUSHING, of Massachu-
sets, the Premiership. We cannot believe, how
ever, that Gen. PIERCE will make selection SO
little palatable to the party of which he is mem
Der, and certainly carrying with it little of the
prestige, winch is certainly not uncaed for under
such circumstances.
We know but little of Gen. CUSHING, and he
may be well qualified for the proposed position,
but he does not occupy the position before the
country as a prominent and leading man which
should be occupied 10y aspirant for the high Of
fee, in connection with which he is proposed
Gen. PIERCE should call around him the ablest
men of his party, no matter whether they be Old
FogieS or Young Americas, and should endeavor
thus to fortify himself tor all the important queS
tons, foreign and domestic, which we may reason
ably expect to arise during his administration
Whatever then may be his selection of Cabinet
officers, we hope 10 see him surrounded by the
soundest and ablest men of his party, by such men
as will reflect honor upon the Offices TO which they
may be appointed. We wish to see his admins
tration and all administrations conducted ably and
prosperously and such result can best be attain
ed by the appointment to high offices of the most
talented, most patriotic and able nen i'll the party
TO which he belongs. Such appointments will
best serve to give fair test to the principles and
policy of the party coming into power.

Virginia Legislature.

1t is generally assumed by the Richmond pa
perS that the Legislature will adjourn on the 28th
OF February, as now agreed upon. Much business
has been done, but much remains undone and
whether our Legislators will feel authorized to ad-
journ under the circumstances, is problematical.-
The tax bill is not yet acted upon, and is the du-
ty ofthe Legislature under the Constitution to pro
vide the means of payment for the money bills
which it may pass. Heavy appropriations have
been made, aud it will require good deal of fore
sight md care, to make judicous arrangements .or
theliquilation of the liabilities which have BEEN
incurred during the present session. We hope that
this will be we'll done, as the important improve
n1ents which the State has, at last, determined to
foster and protect, will else, be practically without
the aid so literally poured out upon them at the
present session. How much is it to be regretted,
that Virginia has been long in procuring her own
true interests. and on what foundation rests the
true prosperity of the State Better late than new
TT, may prove too late in the present instance,
though we truly hope that she may yet receive,
from her improvements, all that their most sanguine
friends anticipate, and yet be able TO rejuvinate
and direct her wealth and energies in permanent
and prosperous channel.

The Interior Route.

As the time approaches when a decision will
be made of the route OF NJ. q G. Railroad from
Wheeling, the friends OF the interior route are
zeaously exertinE themselves, 10 secure Tor their
line fair hearing. They have appointed active
committees to obtain subscriptions OF stock, and to
secure releases of the right of way. A committee
from Woodfield visited Marietta yesterday, and
made representations of the interest felt in the sub
ject by the citizens of Monroe county, which salts
fly that probably 100000 stock will be subscri-
bed by them in case the interior route is adopted
They have also suggested denomination of
tsome parts ofthe line surveyed, and are confident
that the road can be built in 65 miles, and
line which, will save heavy tunnel, and one or
two deep cuts, on the line recently run.
If the friends of the interior line present the d.
rectors. as they think they can, free right of way
| a nd stock subscriptions OF $4,000 to 500 900.
their line will have the advantage ofthe river line,
on the score of expense. If they also save twelve
miles in the lineral distance it is very possible tina
thei! line may be practically the shortest But
this equation of distances can only be settled by
the engineers.
We have seldom seen men more warmly enlisted
in any enterprise, than the Woodsfield men are in
this oneand they say that they represent the gen.
eral feeling of the citizens Of that county.

The 4th of March.

Two weeks from yesterday the present Executive
of the United States will retire from his elevated
position, yielding up the honors, responsible ities
and anxieties of the Office to his successor General
Pierce. Though we would have had it otherwise,
yet we may well laugh as cry over the fate that
has belallen US; and to help us out, we will make
draw upon the philosophy of our friend ALBRIGHT
of the Guernsey Times, who by the way, is good
Wing and very clever gentleman. Hear hIm:-

A CASE OF CoNsc1ENcE.-A reverend gentleman
Of the Catholic Church called at our office on
Saturday last and handed thirty dollars in gold
which he stated had been delivered by person in
the confessional to be disposed of as above men
toned. We presume it to be case of conscience
connected with some transaction of which we
know nothing, and of course could inquire MOTH
ing of the worthy priest who received the money
under the seal of confession. The mention of the
incident may possibly serve to prick the conscences
of some delinquent subscribers to our own OF 9TH
er journals; though, in regard to our own, we
must in grateful justice acknowledge we have but
title to complain of-Nat. Int.

IMPORTANT TO HElns.-Under this caption, the
Jacksonville (Florida) News of the 18th. instant,
has the following paragraph:
can advertisement appeared in our columns, a
short time ago, signed by Mr.. Ell. Gomez, Spal-
ish Consul at Key West, notifying the legal heirs
of Gov. White (under the Spanish Government)
that they might learn something to their advan-
tagc by applying to the said Consul. 1t is general
ly known, we believe, that Governor White died
1911, and although he intended the King of Spain
as his heir according to his testament, he after
wards, in codicil, declared his relatives in Ire
land his only legal heirs. Governor Henry Whites
relatives may be found among the Irish emigrants
now in this country.'' tit

Body, and their associates, TO construct at their

The bill provides that when the telegraph is

on condion that they give to the United States a
priority in the use oft forever, and 10 the numbe.
of seven thousand words monthly.

New RAILROAD ENGINE.-The memorial presen
ted to the United States Senate, by Mr.. Foote, OF
Vermont, from Col. j. S French, of Virginia, ask
ing the aid of the Government in testing newly.
invented machine to overcome the grades of rail-
roads, will attract attention. In presenting the me
mortal, Mr.. Foote said:
There is now model railway and engine of Col.
French's improved plan upon daily exhibition in
the rotunda of the Capital, so that can all ex-
anime 1t for ourselves, and form our ow judgments
OF its practical utility from perso al inspection.
hope all will avail themselves of the opportunity
of examining this model. 1t is enough for me to
say for the present that have examined it with
some care, and with very great interest," and have
quite satisfied my own judgment of the practical
bility of Col. French's plan, and of its ultimate
complete gucceSs. The great practical ends to be
attained by this improvement are to overcome
heavy grades, much heavier than are now deemed
practicable; to lun all grades, higI, or low with
much lighter machinery than is now in common
use; and the greater security against trains being
thrown from the track. If these ends are attained,
it follows that vest expenditure will he saved in
the grading of roads, especially in the rough and
mountainous districts OF The country; a vast ex-
pense III the wear and tear of roads, caused by run
ming heavy class of engines upon them, will be
saved; and the hazards of personal injuries will be
greatly diminished. These are most important and
desirable results, and Of universal interest.

different manner in which many of the lots inten-

end, they consult their own interest by sending
their crops forward in merchantable order.
