SAYS the Shelby, KY, COUrdnt: We
notice that many farmers of this county
are turning their attention to the raising
of sheep, and numbers of them have
been brought into the country. Nothing
has proved so profitable to the farmers
as wintering a lot of ewes. Enough
lambs may be sold the next season to
pay for the ewes, and the wool will about
pay the cost of keeping, leaving the ewes
as profit.

Political CONSISTENCY IN THE SOUTH. 1t
is not always easy to understand the logic of
politicians in the South. We find the Jack
son Clarion, for instance claiming that the
conservatives Of Mississippi ought to be rec
ognized in the next election for United States
Senator, while bewailing the fact that the ne
groes are not allowed a proportionate share of
the Offices by the republican party. In the
event of the recognition of the conservatives
the Clarion demands ga genuine, bona tde
representative of the people," naming jeff
Davis first in its list; but if recognition can
not be obtained it would prefer two negro
Senators. Would the Clarion teach us that no
white man, unless he was an "original seces-
sionist," is fit to represent Southern State
in Congress? This is as shortsighted as the
policy of the republicans in electing carpet
baggers not because they are carpet-baggers,
but because they are corrupt

RUSSIA AND THE CENTENNIAL. Ofen-
burg, the representative at Washington of the
Gar of Russia, denies that his government
has expressed On opinion unfavorable to the
Centennial, and this denial is of course, en-
titled to full credit. Russian diplomacy is too
thoroughly inspired with the spirit Of true
politeness and proper consideration to have
let slip the observation reported as coming
from St. Petersburg, and which the Baron
now corrects. There is plenty of time yet to
learn what the Centennial will be, and we
doubt not it will prove worthy the occasion it
is intended to commemorate.

Soup KITCHENS. streets swarm with
grown people and children who beg with the
declaration that they are hungry, and it is
probably true. Distress exceeds its ordinary
limits, comes out of its usual districts and
forces itself with pitiful appeal into streets
unaccustomed to see it, and into houses on
all sorts of pretexts. 1t is even reported that
there have been some cases of starvation.
Are the resources of the public charities equal
to the occasion, and are their efforts equal to
their resources? Exactly how all the large
amount of money given for charity is spent
does not appear, but some proportion of it
applied to the establishment of free soup
kitchens at different points in the city would
do great service in these severe days and
nights

AN AFFAIR OF HoNoR.-General La Mar
mora has received two months leave of alb
sence from the Italian Chamber of Deputies,
and this is somewhat ostentatious way of
letting the world know he wishes to be free to
leave the country if necessary, and that the
date of his return may be uncertain. n
reuiendra Pdques, on d la 7rinitS' Perhaps
he proposes TO challenge Bismarck. Advice
would be thrown away on q desperate gentle
man of this sort, and ours, moreover, would
reach him too late otherwise we would tell
him he had better stay at home. Bismarck
is a very lucky man, and La Marmora has
hitherto been precisely the other sort of man.
and this is scarcely case in which the luck
is likely to run out and change on either side.
1t was an ugly observation for Bismarck to
say that La Marmora's statement was a lie.
But he was in a tight place at the time, and
broke through without regard to whose toes
he might tread on ; and that is precisely what
he will do again. He is very tough GUS
toner, and La Marmora will do well to leave
him alone,

A Coop MOVEMENT IN TAMMANY.-T ques-
ton of rapid transit is evidently taking hold
of the public for even the Tammany General
Committee has stepped aside from its political
course to take it up. The report presented by
Mr.. John Kelly on the permanent organiza-
ton of the General Committee urges. among
other things, rapid transit for New York as
"of the utmost Importance and now demand
ing immediate attention" That is the way TO
talk, and if the republican organizations will
cooperate in the matter, leaving politics and
iobbery out of the question, we shall soon have
what the city SO much needs.

The Elections in Great Britain.

The news of this morning does not warrant
us to promise as yet any decisive opinion as
to the final result of the present election con-
test in Great Britain. Up to yesterday morn
ing four hundred and twenty members had
been elected OF these two hundred and
twenty-seven are conservatives and one hun
dred and ninety-three are liberals and home
rulers. The returns from Scotland and Ire
land come slowly in; but such returns as we
have show that in both kingdoms public SEN
timent has changed somewhat since the last
general election. The polling yesterday de-
veloped the home rulers in strength and
showed continued conservative increase.
After the last general election Mr. Gladstone
found himself at the head of party which
was so strong that it could treat opposition
with contempt. His powerful majority made
him almost despotic. No Prime Minister in
many years has conducted public affairs
with so high hand At the same time
in all that he has done be has had sin
gle eye to the highest welfare of the empire.
He sought power for the purpose of abolishing
certain standing grievances; and when the
power was placed in his hands he stood to his
word and labored to redeem his pledges If
his legislation in the interests of the Irish
compelling him to relinquish the reins of gov
eminent, or if, as rumored, he has already
resigned, he will always have the satisfaction
of knowing that his name will live in history
in connection with great reforms and noble
principles. If he has not completely recon-
ciled Ireland to English rule he has removed
two great grievances, and time will ultimately
prove the beneficial character of his legisla-
ton. His Irish Church and land reforms
his bold though unsuccessful attempt at Irish
University reform his abolition of purchase
in the army his educational reforms for Eng
land and Scotland-these, taken in connection
with the happy results of the Washington
Treaty, will make his first tenure of Office as
Prime Minister one of the most memorable in
history. If he has ruled with too high hand,
and pushed his measures with too much in
tensity of purpose, it has been less for selfish
ends than for the general welfare of the
empire. When man fights for great prin-
ciples and with due regard to the public
good he can afford to stand defeat for in
such case defeat is no dishonor. 1t is far
from certain, however, that Mr.. Gladstone
will be defeated. 1t begins to seem probable
that in the next Parliament the liberal ma
jority will be somewhat diminished, if it does
not disappear that parties will be more
equally divided, and that consequently for
some time to come there will not be any ex-
treme legislation.
The New York herald. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1840-1920, 1874-02-07

some hope that we may secure from the Legis-
lature this session such q law as We propose Ii
this is to be the solution of the problem, then
it is waste of time for the House to consider
private propositions. The plan of construc-
ton, like all other matters, will be left to the
commission, who will have plenty of projects
from which to choose. The correspondence
published in the HERALD has already thrown
out many useful suggestions. The under
ground plans; the elevated plans, such as the
GILBERT" the viaduct built of masonry; the
sunken road between blocks, bridged at the
street crossings, all have their advocates. The
final decision of the commissioners would be
reached from the considerations of speed and
economy in construction, durability and pub
lie convenience. The advantages of the over
ground propositions to the underground
are mainly that the cost can be more accu-
rately calculated; that the work can be more
rapidly done; that nothing is left to chance or
experiment; and, finally, that people would
rather travel above ground than through
tunnel. Still, any plan that is found to be
practical and to promise success would be
adopted by an honest commission. Besides,
the commission would also have the opportu-
nifty to consider the practicability of making
the riverside streets as proposed some time
ago, and building viaduct railroad along
them without any cost for right of way. We
are confident that the people of New York APP
prove of the proposition to place the control
of this rapid transit question entirely in their
own hands, through responsible and accept
able commission, and it is to be hoped that
the State Legislature will no longer daily sus-
piciously with the subject.

A Double Session OF the Oyer and Ter.
miner.
There are number of prisoners in tho
Tombs who have been confined for terms vary
ing from three years to three months awaiting
trial for criminal offences. There should DO
no occasion for such delay, and there would
be none but for the fact that the business be-
fore the Oyer and Terminer is larger than any
one court can dispose Of Our criminal cases
In New York are getting to be very similar to
the old chancery cases in England; they
threaten to hang on until the parties interested
in them grow from black-haired youths into
gray-haired old men before final decision ia
reached. About two years AGO a law
was passed authorizing double session of.
the Court of General Sessions of the Peace
when the accumulations and the pressure of
criminal business shall, in the discretion of
the Recorder or City Judge, demand it. This
law has been found to work we'll, and has
enabled the Court to dispose Of large num-
Der of cases which would not have been
reached but for the double session. The re-
lief thus afforded is not, however, sufficient,
and we need law authorizing also double
sessions of the Oyer and Terminer. Tho
criminal cases should be worked off quickly
and the jails relieved The best way to &C.
complish this is by holding two Courts of
Oyer and Terminer as well as two Courts of
the General Sessions at the same time

GOLD SrEADY-The price of gold has fiuc-
tuated very little during the last week, not
withstanding all the talk in Congress about
initiating the currency. 1t has stood between
III and 49, and for the greater part of the
time at 111s to 111s. Even the gold opera
tors cannot disturb it. The truth is, when the
Secretary of the Treasury keeps out of the
market, as he has been compelled to do lately,
and our exports are larger and imports smaller
comparatively, there is nothing to cause dis
turbance. If Congress would let the currency
alone and we should have healthy state Of
trade gold would gradually decline.
The New York herald. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1840-1920, 1874-02-07

Limiting the Session OF the Legisla-
turc.
By it's limitation of the per diem allowance
of members of the Legislature the constitution
of this State seems to favor the notion that the
yearly session of the lawmakers should be re-
strained to the period of a hundred days.
though the fact that members are permitted to
continue to serve the State without salary be-
yond that period indicates also that the
trainers of the constitution gave the hint for
the limitation with becoming modesty. Occa-
sions may possibly arise when the Legislature
ought to be perfectly free to continue its ses-
sions to any period deemed proper, and it is
for this reason that the constitution has not
specifically assigned q term to the session. In
asmuch, however, as the occasion has never
yet arisen when all the legitimate legislation
of any session could not be done in less than
hundred days, it is much to be regretted
that it is the practice to extend the session
beyond the indicated period It is desirable
that the session should be as short as possible.
Twenty or thirty days are amply sufficient for
the legislative business of every year, and not
an hour more is ever given to that business;
but the remainder time is devoted to jobbing
and to those practices of buying and selling
votes that have made the State capital a mar
ket and the State Legislators mere retail ped
lers of political power. Naturally worthless
of this sort assume the loftiest possible stand
ard of virtue and dignity, and denounce as
buncombe the proposition to shorten the ses-
sion made just now again, as it has been fire.
quently hitherto; but we apprehend that
members of the Legislature will talk bun
combe or do worse. and they had better talk
buncombe, especially when it has tendency
to urge them to go home.

WHO Is BRIGHAM YOUNG ?-Some five or
six weeks ago we published letter from
Stockton-on-Tees, England, covering a state
ment of remarkable facts, which the writer
believed justified him in the conclusion that o
certain William Brigham, of Stockton, natu-
raj son of a man named Young and a woman
named Brigham, was no less parsonage than
Brigham Young, the Mormon Prophet; and
that, if so, the first wife of Brigham Young
an old woman still living in England and
in state of extreme poverty, has claim
upon him for support which he cannot safely
disregard. We publish to-day on the same
subject a circumstantial statement from an
English paper, which materially strengthens
the primd facie case of Mrs. Brigham, of Eng
land, as the first wife of Brigham Young, of
Utah
