The recent exports to Europe from this coun-
try include quite a number of fat cattle. The
plan of exporting live cattle to Europe origi-
mated with New York firm, who have found
the experiment so successful that they are in-
cressing the number weekly. Other firms, it is
believed, will follow their example, and in a
short time the United States may export cattle
a largely as they do grain or any other article.
America produces millions OF cattle annually,
and in the west and southwest they do not bring
anything like fair value, unless driven hun
dreds of miles TO market, and then the expense
OF driving them so long distance eats up all
the profits. II will be well for our Texas cattle
IaseIs to consider whether some arrangement
cannot be made for the shipment of their
stock TO Europe from some southern port, with
more profit to themselves, than to drive them
hundreds, and sometimes thousands of miles

Rev. James Freeman Clarke discusses the
question, q" To Bolt or not to Bolt in the last
issue of The IHdepeRdeHt, and concludes that it
is not only the right, but the duty, of a member
Of a convention to bolt a nomination V>ch is
unfit to be made" He supports his opinion
by saying that it is merely applying to politics
the Protestant doctrine of the right of private
judgment, the doctrine of PrOtestants being
that we ought TO become members of a church
and respect its rules and teachings, except
when they are opposed to our Judgment of what
is true or false, right or wrong. So, argues Mr..
Clarke, we become members of party, and we
ought to deter to the decisions of the party in
matters OF mere expediency and where no prIn-
ciple is involved. Between two candidates We
may have a choice. but we ought to support the
candidate Of our party unless he is a man whose
character or whose policy would be plainly
hostile to the public good.

Mr.. Dormsn b. Eaton, chairman of the civil
service advisory board, has written pamphlet
in which he argues against the system of elect
ing judges by the people, and IN favor of making
them appointive. His plan Is TO have them ap-
pointed by the governors of states, and the ap-
pointments acted upon by the upper houses of
legislatures. He depicts the deplorable results
of the elective system, and believes good and
incorruptible men can only be secured through
appointment. The question is one of especial
interest in the state of New York, where the
people are to decide at the approaching cleo J..
ton which system they will have. The New
York Graphic is inclined to believe that the
electoral plan is preferable to the one proposed
by Mr.. Eaton, but thinks both are objection
able. lt suggests a new process of selection, as
follows:
at IL obvious that, were a CONF mission of our
ahltst lawyers and judges to pass upon the in
teliectual and legal qualifications of all candi-
dates for the bench, no unworthy or incOmpe-
Mt man WOHd be likely TO get place upon it.
Were the lawyers OF this city TO designate the
members Of the bar whom they regarded
best fitted for the bench, and the people to
choose from this list We should have little cause
to complain of an ignorant or corrupt Judiciary,

The trial Of steam canal boats for q prize of
Sl0O, OCO for the best invention comes off on the
Erie canal to-day. Six boats were entered.
The engineer, ID. NJ. Greene, has appointed q
man for each boat, who is to remain on his boat
during the trip and keep an accurate record of
the amount Of coal consumed the time occupied
IN making the trip, the rate per hour, the de-
tention. the number Of revolutions per minute,
and every other detail which can be of value In
making up the report. The result of the trial
will be looked for with great interest in the hope
that something may be evolved to revolutionize
the present old fogy system Of canal boat pro-
pulsion.
