ITO THE PUBLIC.-The experience of
i the past two years has shown the necessity
OF strict adherence to cash sales. All importers
and manufacturers require of us cash at the ex-
pration of each month, to meet which we find it
impossible to rely upon collections, and have to
resort to means outside our business. This We
wish to avoid, and WILL therefore, after the LIST of
January, 1859, sell strictly for cash.
A settlement at the end of each month by such
whom it may be more convenient will be consid :.
cred equivalent to cash.
All persons indebted to US will confer favor
by settling by the lst Of January, or as soon at.
ter as possible, as we are DESTROYS of closing up
past accounts and are much in need of funds.

1t must be gratifying to every West
Virginian to SEQ what u fine beginning
has been made in this direction. The
reports were mainly made up last June,
and show the results of the first year
only. There has been steady advance
since then, and the attendance now is
from wider range of patronage and q
more advanced grade of students.
Those who have been going abroad to
College are beginning to learn they can
do as well, and attless cost, in their own

MISSOURI.
ST. LOUIS, March s.

81 hOU1SI MAtCu o.
Well informed parties say that the
difficulties between the settlers on the
Cherokee neutral lands of Kansas and
the Railroad Company, are being sat-
isfactorIly adjusted, and that the set
tiers on these lands are rapidly
paying for their claims on Mr.. joys
terms. The terms are the appraised
price fixed by the Government Com
missioners on the five years time at
seven per cent. interest. The settlers
are to pay nothing if the Border Rail-
road from Kansas City, to the sothern
boundary of Kansas is not built ac-
cording to contract. This road is to be
constructed by Mr.. Joy by the 18th
OF October next.
A large delegation of Kansas men
have passed through here en- route to
Washington to endeavor to obtain by
the Senate the ratification of the Usage
treaty, made by Commissioner Taylor
with the Usage Indians of Kansas, by
which 800, 900 acres of land were ceded
to certain railroads. A modification
Of the original treaty has been agreed
upon by the parties interested, and it
is thought there will be no further diff
ficulty. The latest arrangement is, that
100000 acres of these lands shall go to
the Leavenworth, Lawrence and Gal
weston Railroad, 2,O0O,O ,OOOacres to Atch-
ison, Topeka and Santa Fe; 10000 600
acres to the Fort Scott and Sedalia
Road, and 1000. 900 acres to the Neosho
Valley Road.

Ghe9nteltiqetnce1:
THE LATEST CABINET DEVELOP
MERTS.

Since the paragraph on the second page
under the caption "Cabinet Changes
was put in type, we have special tele
gram from our Washington correspond
ent which puts different face on Mr..
Stewards intentions. From this it ap-
pears that he proposes to evade the law
by putting his business in the hands OF
trustees during his term and receiving
no part of the profits; and if this propo'
sition is satisfactory to Gen. Grant, he
will hold on.
While this might be technical es-
cape from the difficulties, it is doubt
ful II the spirit and real intent of the
law would not still be violated. 1t
seems probable this disability was Gre
ated not so much to prevent the Secre-
tary from using mis- position for imme-
diate and direct personal profit as from
II fear that a connection with CONNER
cial interests would lead TO an admins
tration of the Office for the advantage
of these interests and to the detriment
of others presumed to be Rntagonistic
to them.
If Mr.. Stewart persists in this course
and holds on under existing circum-
stances, we fear it will ultimately lead
to great dissatisfaction and serious
trouble. His very anxiety to secure the
position will operate against him in the
public esteem, and he being sustained
by the President, it will widen the
slight breach now existing between
Grant and Congress-, that will end, no
one can foresee where. 1t is certainly
very much to be desired for the sake OF
harmony at Washington, that Mr..
Stewart should get out of the way and
relieve both Grant and Congress from
present embarrassments.
The truth is, this little imbroglio over
Mr.. Stewart contains the seeds of q
very large war, not only as between the
Executive and Congress, but between
the tariff and free trade men in Con-
gress. All accounts from Washington
concur In saying great deal of excite
ment and feeling exist over it. The
elements there are in condition for a
first class explosion. We trust there is
no purpose anywhere to provoke one,
because all the business interests OF the
country require that the new admins
tratlon shall move of smoothly with
out collisions or excitements. A colli-
sion between Grant and Congress just
now would be fine sport for the Demo-
cracy, but the country in general would
be grieved over it.

Greeley at the inauguration Ball

The Washington papers contain
amusing accounts of Horace Greeley at
the Inauguration Ball. They say that
his venerable white head and specta-
cles made him conspicuous object
wherever he moved, causing him to be
recognized by everybody. He looked
like cat in strange garret, in the
midst of the gay throng, and was con-
tinually getting stranded in some hope
less position. At one time he was fast.
ened upon a stairway. in an eddy OF the
two currents Of moving humanity, for
nearly an hour. Slow OF motion, he
was continually being crowded, and
hustled and crushed by the pretty wo-
men revolving about. This last expe-
rience he seemed to rather like; but he
swore good deal, in the oldest and
most miscellaneous style, when jam
med and jolted for two hours at the
cloak rooms, in quest of his white over
coat. One would as soon expect bull
let from a rose bud as an oath from
Horace Greeley, but he certainly did
curse most ferociously on this occasion.

THE CABINET.
What the Newspapers think oft.

What the Newspapers think OF IL.
NEW YORK, March 6.
The Herald says, of the new Cabinet:
We see in the new Cabinet that Grant
has given the managing Republican
politicians a wide berth, that he has
chosen his men for business and as his
subordinates, and with not the remotest
idea that they are to be his masters or
his coequals in the administration.
The Tribune says, the new Cabinet
means business. Emphatically, each
man was chssen by General Grant ex~
pressly to aid him in carrying the
programme OF economy and integrity
embodied in the inaugural.
The Times says: This Cabinet Will
not commend itself to the favor OF
politicians, because it has not been taken
from their ranks; nor are the men who
compose 1t sufficiently we'll known to
the public at large to command In ad-
vance the full confidence of the COM
munity. But in the very freshness OF
its character, in the fact that its MEM
bers are business men rather than poll
ticians, and are likely to make the prac-
ticaI interests of the country their first
care, we see ground for believing that
the Cabinet will, in its practical work
ings, vindicate the wisdom OF its selec-
ton.
Tho World says that President Grant
SuCu d OADluoL hO
clan would have advised and such a
Cabinet as no newspaper could have
conjectured; Cabinet which fills his
poll itical opponents with wonder and
his political friends with suppressed
dismay. It derides the appointments
and say that not one of them has ever
been known in the councils of the ma
ton.
The Evening Post believes that Presi-
Iant Grant take a false Rtep in his re-
commentator to Congress to-day. 1t
says that the law which he asks to be
repealed is a proper and salutary one,
and Mr.. Stewart may easily conform to
it by disposing OF the vast mercantile
business he has managed so success
fully.
DeTRoIT, March 9Th.
There was much anxiety to hear the
names OF Grants Cabinet, which were
bulletined yesterday afternoon. This
morning the Tribune confeSses to some
disappointment and say, taking it al
together it is not a strong Cabinet, and
thinks there will be changes i'll its
composition before long. The Post
says the Cabinet does not strike as one
that will command at the outset the
unqualified confidence of the country,
and thinks the selection of Mr.. Wash
burne indicates a vigorous and thor
oughly American foreign policy. The
Free Press says of the Cabinet, there
Is not first class man among them,
not one of them could receive the sup~
port o. his party at home for the place
selected to fill. John. s. Newberry,
prominent lawyer states in card this
morning, that by the law of 1898. A. L.
Stewsrt is ineligible to the office OF Sc
cretary OF the Treasury unless he dis
poses Of his business before accepting
Office.
