THE TEXAS CATTLE TRADE.-It is es-
timated that during the past season 600,
600 beeves were driven from Texas to
Kansas, Nebraska, and the Western
States and Territories 1t takes about
10000 head of beeves yearly to supply
the Indians. The Government pays for
these, having concluded that it is cheap
er to feed the Indians than to fight them.
In all the range of country between the
Rocky Mountains and Mississippi River,
as high up as British America, they re-
ceiye beeves from Texas. Of late years
the drovers have discarded the old-fash-
toned Spanish cruel rawhide whips in
the management of cattle, and use no.
thing more than switch or little riding
whip. The drove in few days after
they start become quite gentle and man.
ageable, and drive like gentle milch
cows. They drive them but six or eight
miles a day when on long journey,
and the drove improves and increases in
flesh under such management when the
grass is good The drovers take along
their tents, provisions, cooking utensils,
ETC., in wagons, and live with a good
deal of comfort.

REPUprAwoN.-The Richmond En-
Quirer says that IF the population of

debD would do any good there would be
some sort of incentive to acquiesce in

preciable is gained by it, it is hard to see
the faint of repudiation imposed upon

would say, furthermore, to the honest

diation. "Who enters here leaves hope

Insurance IN CHCAGO.-The ''ques-
ton of the hour" in Chicago appears to
be insurance. The Tribune of that city
says the merchants are really driven to
great straits, and hayeto go for policies
not only to New York, Hartford, Gin
cinnati and St. Louis, but to Memphis,
New Orleans, Montreal, and ''all the
little towns from Missouri to Maine. -
The trouble is with the State insurance
law, one clause of which forbids any
foreign company to do any business I'M
til it shall have deposited 100000 at
Springfield by way of security. The
leading Chicago merchants have signed
petition for the repeal of this clause,
and the Tribune urges the Legislature to
comply with it at once. To require
such companies as the Imperial, Lon
don, Liverpool, North British and Globe
to make paltry deposit of $20O,O 900 at
Springfield is, in its opinion, to ''thwart
the efforts of the business men of Chi
cago to obtain sound insurance"

GUIzoT. The French Institute was
recently the scene OF an exceptionally
interesting event. In solemn session OF
the Academy of France, and the other
academies which the comprehensive
term institute includes-the veteran
statesman author Guizot, now eighty
three years of age, was presented with
the biennial prize of $4,000. NJ. Guizot,
who showed much emotion, said that he
accepted it merely to return it in an
other form. Following the example of
NJ. Theirs, who, some time since, had
achieved the same splendid mark of dis
tinction, he proposed to found with the
$4,000, a prize. to be presented every
three years, for the best work in poetry
or history produced within that time.
As commentary on this librraiity, We
may mention that NJ, Guizot is a man OF
very limited means.

THE CMCINNATI CoNvENTIoN.-The
Independent Republicans" of Missouri
begin to show signs of doubt. 1t is al
ready announced that the Cincinnati
gathering, which was to have been called
nearly month before the Republican
Convention, and was to be the means of
lettering the latter from renominating
President Grant, has been postponed I'M
til June. Instead of forcing a split,
they seem to intend to keep under cover
till they see whether split will not be
made ready to their hands in the regular
convention. They will take no more by
their latter move than by the first one.

WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY IA, 1872
Impeachment OF the Governor of
Florida.

The telegraph brings the welcome an
nouncement of the Impeachment and re-
moval of Governor Harrison Reed of
Florida, and that Mr.. Day, native of
Virginia, and Republican, has been APP
pointed to succeed him as Governor.
This is an event which will be cause
of rejoicing not only to Florida, over
burdened and almost impoverished with
taxes, but to every loyal republican
throughout the land, proving as it does,
that where corruption is shown to exist,
the Republican party is ready to apply
the remedy. The relief to the citizens
of Florida must be great. Under his
regime the taxes of the State have been
enormous and constantly increasing, the
legislation has been reckless and scandal
Gus, the public credit has been abso-
lutely ruined and the treasury literally
emptied, so that, at the last report, the
proper officer of the government had
not funds at his command sufficient even
to purchase postage stamp. The con-
stitution of the State grants extraordi-
nary powers to the Governor, and the
people are to be congratulated, on that
account, not only that he has been re-
moved from the power to do them fur
ther injury, but that they had the pub
lie virtue to apply the remedy.

RAILROADS.&C. IN THE WEsT.-It will

to return from Salt Lake City to San

York via Panama, in order to get East

that this course is seriously contemplate

speedy change in the weather renders
the prospect of an early opening of the

THE LATE EARL OF MAYO. - One
of the most lucrative foreign offices
of the British government is suddenly
and unexpectedly made vacant by the
assassination of the Earl of Mayo, who
has for nearly four years held the posi-
ton of governor general of India. The
earl was born at Dublin, February q,
1922, and had therefore not quite com
pleted his fftieth year when he received
fatal stab at the hands of a convict
last Thursday evening. After gradual
ing at Trinity college, he was elected to
the House of Commons as conservative
in 1947, and, upon Lord Derby's acces-
sion to the premiership in 1852, was
made chief secretary for Ireland, a po-
sition which he filled twice subsequently,
under Lord Derby's second administra-
ton in 1858, and third in 1866. In the
following year he succeeded to his faith
ers title as Earl of Mayo in the peerage
of Ireland, and in 1868 he was appointed
to the office from which he has just been
so tragically removed.
