LAST year, in the months of June, July
and August we had here at Cairo i inches
5l-lOo,hs more rain than during the same
months this year. Last year the highest
notch the thermometer reached was So
and this year 95 the lowest temperature
last year in July was 90 and this year %,
So, July 1871 was hotter than July 1872
and July 1871 was cooler than 1872. This
is somewhat paradoxical, but true. lfyou
don't believe us ask Watson. In August
1871, the mercury reached SO, and in 1872
it went up to 80; in 1871, it went down in
August to co, and in 1872 to 62. So,
August 1872, according to the mercury
and our recollection, was hotter than
August 1871.

GERRYMANpERlNG

We expected no less than that the Gem
eral Assembly would do pretty handsome
thing for the dominant party in redstrct-
ing the State this year; but we expected
further, that, in doing its best to reduce the
number of Republican districts, it would
hardly go so far as to try to reduce four
into one. That was bagging the political
game little too flagrantly for any outward
show of fairness on its part. But even in
doing this, had we conceived it possible, we
still expected that there would be at
least some shop of fairness. if there
really was mono in fact. But when
its gerrymandering ingenuity goes so
far as nearly to crowd three districts into
one, because they happen to be Republic
cans, and make the new district from fif-
teen to twenty thousand larger in popula-
ton than its own adjoining one to accom-
plish its object, the ingenuity of the thing is
Zoo rascally for anybody to approve. Had
the 4th District been so reconstructed"
as to have embraced the present Represen-
tatives from the I'd, Sd and 4th Districts
we mean their present residences-political
tricksters might have shrugged their
shoulders, and sworn it was 'big thing"
but how would it have been viewed
by honest, right-thinking men ? And
yet the Legislature came within
an ace of doing just this thing, and
might as well have done it as to have
so gerrymandered the 4th and I'd Districts
as to bring Mr.. Stowell and Mr.. Plat into
one and the same District. To commit
this fragrant injustice they have made the
18th District over fifteen thousand greater
in population than the 9Th, and larger by
several thousand than any other District in
the State. Are political co1tps d'etat of
this sort exactly what our opponents
would like to have the credit of achiev-
| ing? If so, we are content. We can
afford to go before the people in denun-
citation Of an act Of such fragrant injustice,
far better than any perpetrator of the
act can afford to stand before them and
justify it.
The people are not all so utterly lost to
sense Of right and justice as to look ap-
provingly on such measure. 1t might go
down with those who approve of political
chicanery as arule, but those demanding a
stop of right, justice, and fairness, if not
any of their substantive qualities, in deal
ing with political opponents, will condemn
the act.

DOGS OR SHEEP =?

We are still in receipt of more letters
than we can print, approving the course of
the JOURNAL in reference to the dog-law.
The people are evidently awake to the i'm
portance of the subject, and are pressing
their demands for an effective dog-law
through the channels of the public press
all over the State. The vital question with
them is: "Dogs or sheep 2" and they
are not long in making choice as be-
tween the two. We have urged this sub
ject so strenuously, and in so many differ
ent forms of appeal to the General Assem-
bly,, that it seems work of
supererrogation to 60 further. And
yet the subject is one of such vital moment
to the farmers Of Virginia, and has SO many
considerations of urgent necessity and
utility coupled with it, that we are con-
strained to urge it still further upon the at
tention of our Legislators. There is no
single interest in the State which so urgent
ly demands their consideration at this time.
Millions of dollars in direct annual profit
to our farmers are dependent upon it. and
still other millions in indirect advantage to
them. Sheep are worth all the Guano
islands in the Pacific as fertilizers upon our
soil, while the dogs we should
be rid of under proper dog-law,
ara nuisance everywhere. They
are not worth the hides to their backs in

ONE good result will come from the re-
cent attacks made upon the administration
of General Grant. There will be time
enough to show that all the charges made
are utterly groundless, before the Presi-
dental contest is fairly entered upon. So
far as these charges have been followed up
by investigation and scrutiny, they have
turned out to be utterly unfounded and
his enemies must see that his prospects for
denomination will grow stronger and
stronger with each unsuccessful attempt to
fasten false accusation upon him. The
virulence Of some of these attacks will ne
cessarily carry its own antidote with them.
In fact, it has more than done SO in several
instances already. 1t has strengthened his
popularity with the people, and intensified
their purpose to rebuke his malgners in
the most emphatic manner possible--by
his denomination at all hazards. In this
way the enemies of General Grant, without,
of course, intending it, are daily and hour
ly Strengthening his chances for the Presi-
dency. 1t is fortunate for the Republican
party that these ''reviling accusations
show themselves far enough in advance of
the Philadelphia convention, to be met and
thoroughly disposed of before that time.
