In all the ether cities where gold is

TcSus Cuttta Disease.

Under tho above caption the
Prairie Farmer, western agricul'
tural paper, makes some statements,
interesting ut this time 10 Texas
cattle raisers and dealers. This
western paper looks forward to the
day, which it thinks now near ut
hand, when the railroads from st.
Louis and Kansas City into Texas,
will be the means Of enabling us to
barrel the beef for market our
selves, or permit the cattle to re-
main on our rich prairies until the
packing season, instead of being
driven, as at present, until they be-
come worthless from poverty.
With the rapid opening of rail
road communication with Texas,
the time is net far distant when the
stock now brought North to fatten,
will be allowed to remain upon the
rich plains Of the Southwest until
tie packing season. They will then
be barreled there, or brought North
and East for packing. There is no
country in the world where cattle
are said to get iattcr on grass pas
ture than in Texas; and the quality
Of that beef, when well fatted, is
really choice. We can well believe
this, as we saw last week in Chi
caga packing house, a lot Of Texas
beevos only slaughtered some twelve
DAYS from the Red River. There
was not an animal but would mako
"India mess" beef, which is the best
grade; while q lot that had been
driven overland to Abilene and
packed in the same house. would
not yield one.third Of the amount
of the best grade the balance being
worth at least thirty per cent, less
in the market. This long route OF
six hundred miles to the extreme
Western frontior, will very soon be
superseded by the Southwestern
railroads, that are stretching their
iron arms from several points, and
the. cheaper and equally rapid river
routes. Cattle can now be laid down
at Chicago at less rates from tho
Red River or Now Orleans, than
from the extreme western shipping
points on the Pacific Railroad.

ABUSE OF THE FRANKING PRIvI.

ABUSE OF THE FRANKING PRIvI-
LEGE.-There came to he Cincin-
matt postoflicc yesterday, five mail
bags filed with "a paper called the
New York Mercantile Journal,
amounting in all TO about five thou
sand copies. Each of these papers
bore the frank of John Lynch, NJ.
c. Upon referring to the Congress
sioual directory, we find that John
Lynch, " c., is from Portland,
Maine. We also find that his name
is not written but stamped upon
the wrappers. Now, how did the
New York publisher come in pos
session Of Mr.. Lynch's stamp? Did
he forge the name2 Did he pur-
chase it of Mr.. Lynch? Or how
did be come to use it? On the pa

On a beautiful level prairie bot
tom OF the Smoky Hit river, less
than Two years ago, tho frsI house
was put up, which designated ihe
location Of Abeline, a point, los
miles west Of the Missouri River
Within six months, Just passed,
nearly lO0 600 head Of cattle have
been brought hers aud shipped east
ward in ears. Abeline has therefore
become a place oreraowlng with
lils and greonhaeks, As may DO
imagined, whlskey and gamb'
lers are also plenty. The place

oltemenl sprang upu suddenly, rs
greasy aud rs peculiar as some OF tho
petroleum oil places ia Pennsylvania
or West Virginia.
Just now Aboline Is comparative
ly quiet, for the business seasons
have drawn almost to n close. For,
haps uuo hundred cattle ears stand
or the extensive side track, waiting
the arrival of any b5laied herds
Cold winds, snow and dead grass
have suspended the business. As
soon rs grass has started enough
far cattle to feed on in tho spring
the droyers gather their purchases
together Ia Northern ToXas and the
Indian Territory, some five or six
hundred miles south OF this place
and commence the journey. They
begin TO arrive here about the LIST Of
June. A largo number Of those
who bring up these cattle dispose of
them at once for cash, to the dcelcrs
here. Tho drover don't take drafts.
1t must be ready money, and MS ho

The cattle arc purchased in
Norlern Texas and the Creek IN

dollars per head. After being
brought through to this place many
of them are quite poor, and few OF
them good beef. They will average
in weight, from five hundred to one
thousand pounds each. Wintered
over in Kansas, they make excellent
beef the following summer and
will bring, in the Chicago market,
within three forths Of II cent Of the
price Of Illinois fed steers Drovcrs
who sell in Alkaline get from $50 to
$50 per head. In estimating tho
profits, the fact that gold is required
TO buy them, while they are sold for
greenbuclis, must be considered.
Drovers are well satisfied with their
past summers work.

REMOVAL OF POLITICAL DIsABILI-
TIEs.-Referring to tho recent able
and statesmanlike speech of Mr..
Ferry, of Connecticut, in the United
States Senate, the Springfield Re
publican observes:
"That there is no longer an eX-
cuse for perpetuating the political
disabilities placed upon ex-rebels,
which had their origin in mistaken
principle and policy, is now conced-
ed by many leading Republicans, in
and out of Congress. And, without
seeming TO confess our error, if there
is any false pride Of that sort left,
this Congress may well do what lies
in its power for the completion of
reconstruction and the perfect resto
ration of the South, and not leave
its own proper work to its success
scr. Besides, there is likely to be
in some of the reconstructed States
a necessity for giving to the white
citizens their full share of political
power, after these States have re-
claimed their right to organize and
arm a militia. which cannot well be
kept from them as equal States in
the Uuion. The speech Of Senator
Ferry, of Connecticut, on Tuesday,
in support Of bis bill TO remove the
political disabilities imposed by the
reconstruction laws, presents clear
" the views that ought TO prevail,
and we think are likely to, with the
present Congress. /"

DEATH OF THOMAS AFFLEcE-The Bren-
ham correspondent of tho Houston Tele-
graph, under date of Jan. lst, has the fol
lowing:
We regret to announce tho death
of Thomas Aflieck He died at his
home eight miles from this place,
on Wednesday night last. He had
only lately returned from Calves
ton, where he had established him
selfin business. His health had been
tottering for some time, and soon
after returning to his family, he be.
came worse, and his disease, assum
ing the form Of congestion, hurried
him rapidly TO the grave even be-
fore danger was feared by his friends
and relatives.
lie was not only good, but in
our Judgment, great man, and at
least fifty years in advance of the
age in which he lived. AS man
Of science, he occupied proud po-
sition, but not one equal to the
greatness Of his conceptions. lie
did much rs writer for the or
chard, the garden, and all the
branches of agriculture, and the re-
cord he has made of his greatness,
will be better appreciated now that
he has left us. Because he was
ahead of his age, many thought
him visionary, but the day will
come, when men will say that n
monument should be erected to his
memory. Had he possessed the
means, he would have developed
plans, formed in his great mind,
that would have placed him far up
among the great bcnefactors but
the want of the means crushed
down his aspirations, and others,
not halfso worthy, will reap glory
from his conceptions in the future.
We regret to put this on record (;
but who, that has read OF Fulton,
Watts, and a host of public bene-
factors, will dare dispute it? Thorn
as Affieck was bcnefactor, and the
day will come when the world will
honor his memory.
