How to tell Diseased Meat

In view of the fact that there
is danger that diseased meat may
find its way into the market, it
may be stated, as a guide to meat
purchasers and raisers, that heal
thy meat is firm and elastic to the
touch, and hardly moistens the fin
gers. Diseased meat is soft and
wet, and serum often runs from it.
Good meat has but little odor, and
that by no means disagreeable.-
Diseased meat has faiift and ca
daverous smell. This is best OBJ
served by cutting it and smelling
the knife, or.pouring a little warm
water over it when chopped. 1t
loses, also, ten per cent. more
weight in cooking than when heal
thy. The diseases engendered by
bad meat are chiefly diarrhoea and
tapeworm. Care should be taken
to have meat, most thoroughly
cooked, If consumers wish to avoid
all possibility Of animalcules.

A Test VorE.-The other day General But.
Ter endeavorsd to have a suspension Of tho
rules Of the House OF Representatives, 10
order to offer the following resolution:
"Thas in the judgment Of the House. all
the indebtedness Of The nation ought to bs
paid in exact accordance with the acts Of
Congress creating it. but not otherwise, that
10 TO try. all loans contracted to be paid 10
gold, to be so paid; and all loans not so oon.
tracted to be pay able, ought to be paid in
lawful money Of the United States.
Now one would suppose that no one bnt
q person who is 10 favor of robbing the
people, and who is inclined TO be . rascal,
would vote against such resolution. but 1t
was voted down by eigbty-tbrss to fifty.6vs.
The New York Eveniny Post-Radical and
ondhoIding-regards it as = test vote"
OF the eighty-tbree negative votes, seventy
were Radicals and thirteen we're Dsmocrats,
and Of the fifty affirmative votes, fifteen were
Democrats and forty we're Republicans. This
vote shows that the bondholdsrs are at work
in both parties. and it behoovss the people to
bs on the alert to prevent . bgbhandsd.
enormous public robbery. Lot them look
10 it that they vote next year for no enc for

what party hs belongs. who 10 opposed to

from that wiser one which. by cbsspsning
transportation and travel, increases produc.
ton, wealth and population. These we're
the results looked for when the State guar.
anteed the interest on the co,npany's &l2,-
100000 in bonds and provided for q special
tax Of eight cents on the 500 for twenty
years to paw the same. This subject Of re-
duciug tar'tfs on railways and teIegraphs 10
one now attracting universal attention; and
il has gaperally been found as beneficial to
the corporations as 10 the public The At
Iao.ic Cable Company reduce their charges
fifty per cent. and increase their receipts al
the rate Of $S20,0O0 per year. A London
journal, speaking Of the reduction Of post'
age in that country, says since the postage
between London aud Edinburg has been re-
duced i 800 per cent, the letters transmitted
have Increased S 900 per cent, and the net
postage receipts have been more than dou.
bled. The writer, applying the same princi-
pie to British railways, declares that com.
panies realize double the net profit by their
third class that they do by their first class
cars. Wo'lingmen's morning and evening
trains realize high profits at a far,hipg per
mile; from irst-class cars, which charge
twelve times as high rates, nothing. The
same results will occur here under the
Roberts bill, il it becomes law and is fairly
tested. 1t will be found that the second
class cars will pay far more than the road
pays with its present exorbitant and crushing
rates, and that what is Iost 10 the price Of
carrying . ton Of freight will b doubly
gained by the increase Of tonnage. The
bill has passed TO printing and is now in the
hands of the Committee on Corporations,
from which, it is to be hoped. i; may soon
be reported back without material amend
msnt and passed into law by both houses.

the incorporation, in separate companies, OF an
''air line" railroad between New York and

ington and Cleveland also railroad between
Washington and Cincinnati, making them all
subject to the same general provisions &c. The
bills were referred to a select committee: Inc
bill removing the political disabilities OF GOV.
Holden and other citizens Of North Carolina,
was PASSED, after having been amended by the
insertion OF the name of George W. Jones, OF
Tennessee. The consideration Of the National
Currency bill was resumed, and by vote OF
yeas 81, nays lG, an amendment proposed by
Mr. Davis was adopted, providing that the
ComptrolIer of the Currency shall Withdraw
from any State or Territory the amount OF cir
culating notes that they hnve in the excess OF
their population to the extent in the aggregate
of twenty millions, which amount shall then
be distributed among the States and Tcrrlto-
ries which have not their due proportion. The
amendment having totally changed the purpose
of the bill and shown the opposition OF the
Senate to the increase proposed by IT OF the
National Bank circulation, MIR. Chandler NOV

ected bya vote Of yeas 81, nays %. Without
further action, the Senate adjourned. III ~

which is now of little value. Surprising, how
ever. that the State would realize In exchange
for her interest aforesaid her own stocks and
bonds at par to The extent Of $4,000, 600
not at all impracticable entire debt OF the
State will be so far reduced as to make 1t per-
fectly manageable.
Thus much as to the principal. Now for
the interest:
The value Of ali the property in this. State,
both real and personal, may be put down In
round numbers at S334, 900, 900. The returns
to the Auditors Office of the State will show
this to be rather under than above the real
amount. A tax of forty cents in the hundred
dollars value Ordinarily not a high one) would
produce 81, $4,000. to which, if we add reve-
nue. derived from licenses for the year-to wit,
$500, O0O-we would have in the aggregate
say about $4,000, O00. This would be sufficient
to pay the four per cent. interest on the 800.
OOOOOO-the amount on which the tour per
cent. is now paid and defray the expenses OF
the Government. If we suppose the State re-
stored to the Union upon anything like equall-
ty with the other States, we may calculate on
the rapid enhancement of the public revenue
to degree that will readily admltiot reduc-
ton of the burthens OF the people.
Under this view of the future we arc con
WINGED that the obligations of Virginia will be
entirely paid. n othing can prevent it but her
subsection to negro rule, and that cannot exist
here, however the Radical frauds and disfran-
chisements of whites may for year or so,
threaten this Commonwealth with that dire
calamity. ..,- I..~- ....a., =
Whether the State can meet the next Jan
uary interest or not is altogether predetermined
There can be no assurance given, no certainty

her fate is in the hands of strangers. -Rtch.
