TRANSPORTATION or MEATS.

There is hardly subject of more pressing,
practical interest to the dcnizcns of our soo-
board cities than that above named We
mainly grow our Fruits and Vegetables within
reasonable distance; our Drc;,dStuiis aio little
affected, save in price, by thousand miles of
carriage but our Meats are made not only
dear but unwhOlcsOme by the transportation
of the animals on cars or vessels; and the
rapid increase Of our population compels us to
draw our supplies from sources more and more
remote, increasing both the cost and the dcte-
IiOration. 1t is sober fact that most of the
fresh meats eaten in our City reach us in n
condition which units them for the food of
men, or even of any dogs but such as are
vicious and worthless. Crowded upon sitting
cars, subjected to a motion at once strange
and discomforting, kept thus for days without
food, drink, or rest they reach us in high
fever, and are slaughtered and eaten in that
state. 1t should be provided by law that no
animal should be killed for food that had not
been kept on clean, sweet grass OF hay, and
allowed free range for exercise, throughout
at least one month subsequent to his Transport
tatiOn by car or vessel and Immediately prior
to his being driven to the slaughter-pen.
Our present machinery of transportation for
animals destined for food is disgrace to civ
ilzatiOn.
We have the prospectus of Baltimore and
"Texas Steam Transportation Company" which
proposes to bring the meat of freshly slaugh-
tered beeves from Texas to Baltimore by steam
ships furnished with refrigerating apparatus
invented by Mr.. Chas. Teller of Paris, which
operates by cooling the air of the hold or room
in which it is transported. We are told that
said room or hold has been kept very near the
freezing point by this apparatus, throughout
trip of twenty-One days from Rio Janeiro to
London, though the mercury outside stood at
1Oj to 1879, and the ocean itself (undcr the
equatO) showed so to 900. We are also told
that a company has been organized in Paris.
with capital of $2,O00,OOO which PURPOSES to
run twelve steamers between the mouth of
La Plata and France, to supply Paris with
fresh beef from the immense herds which ira
verse the Pampas. We hear of other cOmpa-
MES organizing in Paris to bring fresh meats
by rail from Hungary and Gallicia, and one
organizing in this City to lay Texas under con-
tbution for the replenishment of our larders-
all to be supplied with the Teller Refrigerator.
SO far, well and the calculation of profits
10 be made by those who embark in this en-
terprise are really dazzling. Yet we look with
interest, but without success for an account
of one single voyage yet made by vessel
fitted with this Refrigerator from any meat
producing to q meat-ncedng country, where
from "a net cash profit has accrued to the stock
holders. And, as we heard of such vessel
being fitted up and dispatched on her errand
last Summer, it does seem that rcsults-not
mere calculations of what wU be-arc now in
order.
We say this without the fantcst wish To

We have now precisely such Liquor Laws
as our Late Democratic Legislature saw fit to
make or to RETAIN and none other. The next
thing in order is Democratic evasion or viola.

much of the act Of 1867 as required each onnli-

decided to override that opinion. At their first
meeting, on Saturday, they accordingly made

The Uoa,an's Jouradl, under the head OF
"What Women are DOING has the following
among other prcmonitions Of 1.-The Good Time

",Birs Smith and Husband is the style OF Ierrc

We are acquainted with several 'such firms.
In fact, we doubt that there is {? school district
without one or more of them. The "Womans
Movement" may have contributed to their
multiplication, but they are by no means a
novelty.
We hate to say aught disparaging to a lady,
and the matter of tact is o%;a in regard to
which we are most d'anuent in our criticisms CT
the sex; yet r % must say that "hrs. SMITH
seems to us less clever than many women
within the circle of our acquaintance. They
put on their signs "Mr. Smith and Wife," but
manage to boss the job all the same. And we
can't help thinking that their way is more
dcxterous than hers.

Senator Brownlow has sent home to his con-
stituents what we cannot help considering as a
most unnecessary apology. He says that a
reference to the record will show that he
has "always been right and has always voted
"for extreme Radical measures" but he adds
81 make no speeches." not appearing, the
modest man, to suspect that such reticcnce is
the very crown and glory of his Senatorial ca
reer. He makes no speeches for the simple
reason that he "has lost his voice.; but he
spoils every thing by adding: eff l had not
"lost my voice, it is likely would be talking
"too." Suppose all the Senators had lost their
voices before the beginning of the endless
Georgia debate-what would have been the
loss to the country However, Mr.. Brownlow
has the good sense to say: ave have quite
"toO much talking in both Houses" and never
came truer remark from him i'll pulpit or in
forum.

Our hired men in Washington certainly
show great dissemination to attend to bust
ness. Just see how matters stood last Friday
afternoon in the House. Not less than twenty
members at that time asked for and obtained
leave of absence for periods of from three to
fifteen days; while upon that very day there
were nearly fifty members absent on leave,
making grand but discouragng total of sew
enty absentecs! If it would do any good, we
might comment either savagely or sarcastically
upon this epidemical delinquency; but the
Oilense is so old, well-cstablished, and respect
able that wrath, we fear would be wasted
upon it. If the House some fine morning
finds itself without a quorum, and without the
possibility of getting one together by the aid
of the Sergeant alarms, it will have only
itself to blame for its ridiculous position.

Marshal SerTano has abandoned, seemingly
as in vain, the reorganization of the Spanish
Government. and has resigned that task to
the Ministry and the Cortes. We should
be glad to believe that the work is
intrusted to capable hands, but un-
fortunately there is little left of the
Spanish Ministry now that Topete and Becera
and Scrrano are retired. Doubtless Echegaray
will follow, AMI the control of affairs will be
given up TO Prim and his followers. The dis

The approaching election in France is pre-
ceded by ruinOrs of an attempt to assassinate
the Emperor. Several arrests have been made,
including officers and members of workingmen's
associations. The details are just full enough
to indicate that if the report affords sufficient
excuse for a surveillance by the police on cleo
ton day that shall practically prevent voting
by the opposition, it will have served the pur-
pose for which il was started.
