RECEIVING STOLEN IRoS.-Frederick Kicks,
small German, was brought before the Mayor
yesterday to answer for being drunk. A wit
ness testified that she had been much annoyed
by parties of boys and negroes carrying iron
through her alley and throwing 1t over into
the yard of Ricks, when he and his wife conld
pick it up and carry il into the house. The
language used by the boys and negroes on such
occasions was offensive and obscene. 1he
Mayor postponed the case until this morning
held to bail for his appearance at that time.

DURHAM CATTLE.

The short horn Durham cattle hold their repu-
tation well, wherever bred and The prices at
which they are sold remain as high as ever. Mr..
Thorn, of Duchess county, n. Y, paid $4,000 for
a Durham bull few years ago in England, and
was offered fair advance on that price, by gen.
teman who wanted to retain him in that coun-
try.
The Durhams are best adapted to smooth, rich
lands, where the grasses grow very uxuriantly-
pasture lands where clover grows foot high, all
over the field, is what they need.
AS mixers, it is only occasional animals that
are noted for the large quantity ofmik produced,
not every cow, nor 50 mahy Of them as to render
that breed particularly desirable as dairy COWS
but for beef no cattle in the world excels them in
the quality of the beef and the weight of the car
cass.
A good young Durham COW, full blood, is worth
from 5000 to $500, and yearling heifers, about
500; and they will, probably, bring those prices
for many years 20 come.
Our native COWS are much improved by cross
ing with the Durhams, many stock breeders
can testify. -

MISSISSIPPI NEVER Our OF THE UNION
The Supreme Court Of Mississippi has deci-
ied that the State has never lost its organiza-
ton as government by reason of secession or
war, but that it was in all respects not only a
de tacto but de .jure State, and that the func-
tions of the government were rightly and con
sttutionalIy exercised by those who exercised
the executive, legislative and judicial functions
during that time within the State. The opin-
ion Of the court was delivered by Judge Harris
Judge J. Sballverger, of Mississippi, has also
decided that sales and executory contracts made
before the surrender, and founded Open Con
federate treasury notes as consideration, we're
valid and can be enforced nov.

THE CAPRICE OF FAsHIoN.-Lyons, France,
is in distress, because the world no longer buys
her figured silks, In 1858 she exported Sl7,-
100000 worth, but in 1865 she exported but
$4,000, 900, and. this year but 81 100000. Her
people, thrown out of employment on account
Ct the caprice of fashion, are 10 a condition of
extreme suffering Having exhausted all the
charity of her own people, Ly' rs begs the
world to return to its former tastes and wear
again the igured silks. This is echoed in Paris,
and that the ladies there, who lead the world,
can resist the tale Of woe from their suffering
countrymen and women is scarcely to be cup
posed. Their journals urge return to the fg
ured silks, and Eugenie's dress maker will prob.
ably settle the question by going back to the
t5les Of the last decade E.

CoNGREssMEN AT LARGE.-Tbe law of 23d OF
May, 1880 fixes the number of members Of Con.
gress at two hundred and thirtythree, who are
redi>tributed- among the States after and in 1c-
cordance with every decenniat census. An act
of March 4, 1862, increased, however, the mum
Der of Representatives from two hundred and
thirty-three to two hundred ard forty-one, by
allowing one additional Representative to eight
States, of which Illinois was one. The numuer
of ofCongressmen of Illinois was thus raised from
thirteen to fourteen. The State Legislature OF
Illinois. instead of dividing the State into fou--
teen districts, preferred to elect only thirteen
members Of Congress in separate districts, and
to have the fourteenth elected by the vote of the
whole State. This is he"Congressman at large"
for which Office General Logan has just received
majority approaching sixty thousand Illinois
is the only State in the Union which has Con
gresham at large" mot counting the States
which elect only one Congressman.
