CRUELTY TO DUMB ANIMALS The manner in
which live stock is crowed and packed in the
cars is absolutely cruel. few days ago, we
noticed large number of hogs, which had been
shipped from Cincinnati and destinated for Rich
mond, SO jamned together in the cars, as to make
it painful to look at them, as the animals were
almost piled one on top of the other. and stick
ing out their heads wherever they could, to get
the fresh air. They were fat hogs, intended for
the butchers, and of course must have suffered
intensely. These animals, as well as others OF
the equine and bovine species, had been CARED
from Thursday until Saturday Of last week. with /
out anything to eat or drink. There certain "
should be some mode devised by which live stock
could be transported without so much deprlva-
ton of the susrenance of life and by which their
suffering would be lessened.

ARCHITECT We call attention to the card OF
Mr. Alfred Smith, Architect, who has recently
located in Staunton for the purpose of following
his profession. Mr.. Smith is recently from Eng
land, and has had extensive experience IN his
line OF business in that country. We have seen
on exhibition at Mr.. B. Clnedinst's Daguerrean
Gallery. drawing OF the Army and navy oluo-
House, Pail Mall. London, of which Mr. Smith
was architect and builder. The structure, in
Guiding the ground, cost $45o,ooo. and is mag.
nifcent building, judging. from the drawing 1t
shows that the architect is master OF his profes,
sion IN it's most comprehensive sense and that
anv designing that may be intrusted to him, will
be- executed in the most approved and tasteful
manner M n We hope those of our citizens who may
intend to build this spring and summer. will glys
Mr. Smith an opportunity Of demonstrating his
high capacity an architect.

or q base deception on Mr.. Kcllogg's
part, to issue such orders. It is pro-
Stunning that the people arc either

the manhood of those he seems to be
proud of governing, or upon their in

usurping Governor issued one of his
Executive orders to extend the period
for collecting delinquent taxes, beyond
that fixed by his General Assembly, and
in the order coolly said his order would
be approved by the legislature, if it
was considered necessary. Whoever

KELLOGG IN NEBRASKA,

We have never seen the refutation
referred to below in a paragraph taken
from the New Orleans Republican rel
ative to the disclosures about Kellogg
made by Nebraska correspondent Of
the Chicago Times, concerning kei-
logg's administration OF his functions
as Il Federal Judge in Nebraska; but,
nevertheless, willing to do Kellogg full
justice, we give the Republicans state
ment Of the matter, u.s. follows:.
The Nebraska SANDER upon G Governor
Kellogg has been refuted and denied
time and again. But still the "damncu
spot" does not seem "out.' Like the
Ephesian Dromio, we'll may his excel
lency cxclaim ooh, villain, thou hast
stolen both my office and my name! ~
We make no apology whatever for
reproducing the Chicago Timcs's letter,
believing, as wcdid, and do yet, that a
man who would employ bayonets,
frauds and perjury to obtain and hold
tho Office of Governor over al unwilling
people is guilty Of n crime OF far
greater magnitude than the prostitution
of the judicial crminc to further private
and pccuni:Ty ends. It was, in fact,
not necessary to show what MI. Kellogg
had been in any State, or in any Office
he may have filled, after the ilagitious
wrong he did Louisiana, to have made
his character, as q public man, thor
oughly dctcatablc.

by which 4 large army Of administra-

we suppose our own experience Will be

EXECUTIVE ORDERS.

The New Orleans Herald and the
OUACIIITA TELEGRAPH seem to object
to the "Executivc Orders" lately issued
by Gov. Kellogg. All such journals
arc estopped from all such objections,
since Gov. Kellogg is only carrying out
in this matter what was promised by
John McEnery, in the event of his
election-pNrticularly in regard to the
Public Debt of the State. 1t is strange
the Fusion organs do not rccollect some
things, and act more consistently
Homer Ilitt2.
About all we have said relative to
kellogg's so-called Executive orders,
WAS to ritticule the idea that Il commit
tee OF citizens could either decrease, or
augment the debt of the State, or could
furnish legal pretcxt for changing
tho indebtedness, in the least. kellogg
knew that much law, very we'll, when
he "raiscd' his committee.
We do not recall any pledge on the
part of Gov. NIcIncry, to submit such
grave question to a committee, or to
control it in any way by an "Executivc
order" Gov. McEncry is too good Il
lawyer, and too sincere III his dealings
with the people, to indulge in such
tom.foolery; or, rather, arrant humbug-
gerry and deception, for that is precisely
what It IS.
The editor of the Had being learned
in the law, we will thank him to point
us to Kellogg's authority in law for
issuing an "EXecutive ORDER" We do
not know when and where tho people
of Louisiana invested the Executive
with tho general power of ordering any
ono to do, or not to do, anything not
specifically set forth in the law ITSELF
In short, an Executive order, as we

The frost which scourgea all the vine
yards i'll France during the last nights
of April last, when also snoW and hail
fell at intervals and often in abun-
dance, has proved most fatal in Cham
payne. The London Vino Trade Re
view correspondent, in recent letter
from Champagne, says that now that
the terrible Consideration Of first i'm
pressions has abatcd, and after having
obtained as correct information as pos
sible respecting those vineyards, he is
able to estimate without much danger
of eXaggeration the extent of the dam
age inflicted. The disaster is more
general than it was first supposed.
On the authority Of the most trust
worthy accounts from all quarters, it
may fairly be reckoned that at present
II proportion equal TO two-t thirds of the
Champagne crop has been annihilnt ed.
Wines in bottles, as we'll as wines in
wood, have undergone very large add
vances, in price; which, however, have
not checked sales on the spot. The
rare possessors of 1868 and 1905 in
any considerable quantities thavc now,
according to the Reviews corrcspon-
dent, fortune in their hands, and are
in no hurry to part with their stocks.

The libel suit of Jacob Hawkins VS..

Ihc libel suit of Jacob Hawkins VS..
the Picayune is progressing before
Judge Barney Lynch of the Fourth
District Court. In the various rulings
OF the Court SO far, the plaintiff docs not
appear to have mistaken, in the least,
what would be the decisions of the
Judge. The dcfcndant's counsel, under
IynchEs law, seem to be mere ground
iings, although they bear the names,
Ogden, Hill and Randolph. Jake
Hawkins has, doubtless, strong hopes
of recovering 100000 damages. AS
things so, we rather think the amount
ought to be placed at Il million. If we
arc to have u farce, let's have n hugo
one and 10 done with it.
