CATS FOR RATS The best remedy we
have tried Tor rats, is cats | had rather
keep half a dozen cats than that number
Of rats. Once we thought we could not
endure 4 cat on the premises, but when
the rats ran verywhere-through the
buildings, into the garden, chicken and
gosling coops, and would face a person
with such an insulting look-we caved in.
We keep three Zone is eight years old)
the year through at times there are more.
What we cannot give away we allow a
free ride, when old enough to take care OF
themselves a cat should not be fed any
meat; give plenty Of milk, some potatoes,
crumbs of bread, etc. Rats, for the past
ten years, have been few and tar between
the cats stand as sentlnels, and take them
soon after making their appearance on the
farm. Cor. New York Tribune

RETRENCHMENT,

This word has become the rallying cry of
the times, and every department of the
Federal Government is required to cut
down its expenses in every item possible
In the Post Office Department, it appears
that the most rigid scrutiny was made by
Mr.. Creswell when the estimates were
being arranged for the ensuing year, and
that every thing was then placed at the
lowest possible figures. This determine
ton to shorten sail and prepare to ride out
safely the present financial storm, speaks
in favor of the Postmaster Generals deci-
sion of purpose and executive ability.
In SO large business as that necessary
to conduct any one of the great depart
ments of our government, it is unavoida-
BILE that a great many inefficient and use
less officers will remain Notwithstanding
the closest scrutiny, and We hear it often
more than limited that an army of especial
agents." who make pretense of looking
after the mails could be spared with ad-
vantage to the government, and without
detriment to the Post Office Department.
These "specials, if the real agents and
clerks who perform the work, do not all
give most false representation OF matters,
are ignorant of the duties which they are
supposed to be appointed to supervise and
watch; and to general inefficiency is added
lack of interest which makes them about
as useful to the service rs a fifth wheel to
Il coach.

1874.

The old year Of '713 has past and gone,
like its predecessors laden with human ills
and woes; but many were the joys that
ushered it in and ripened as it unfolded the
days, and the sands in the great hour glass
told the moments as they flew, and has
tened on to eternity. The churches held
their customary midnight service, and
watched the dying year depart and the
New Year ushercd in. The bells of Trim
ity and the Presbyterian Churches in town
were tolled as the midnight hour approach
ed, and rang merry chime when the
young heir to the throne of Time came in.
A party of our young men adjusted their
watches to correct time, and when the last
moments of the dying year were flying
they struck twelve solemn taps on the
Court House bell, and as the last solemn
chime died in the distance, and the infant
year entered upon his heritage, joyous
peal was rung, and the band struck up a
lively air.
Ring out wild bells to the wild sky,
The flying cloud, the frosty light;
The year is dying in the night;
Ring out, wild bells, and let him die.
Ring out the old ring in tho new,
Ring happy bells, across the snow;
The year is going, let him go:
Ring out the false, ring in the true"

B- Postmaster General Creswell was at
his home in Elkton on Sunday and Mon
day last. He returned on Monday night
to Washington. Mr.. Creswell firmly re-
tains his Jacksonian faith in hard money,
and is in favor of resuming specie payment
by the Government by the first of next
April at furthest. Some degree of quite to
dare and do, he thinks, is all that is re-
quired by the Secretary of the Treasury.
Let Congress authorize the borrowing of IA
$100,0O0,00 gold and resume payment
of the greenbacks in specie at once
This view Of the finances meets our idea
as expressed in The Wig some time since
The very fact that the Government intend
ed to resume in earnest, would exert a
moral effect that would go far toward
equaizing gold and greenbacks. By the
time the Treasury was ready to pay out
specie for greenbacks, they wonld be held
all over the country at par with gold.
This would initiate the currency SO much
desired and strongly advocated by the west
and some other parts of the country in Il
real and substantial manner, followed by
all the beneficial results claimed for an
increase of greenhacks, without any of the
dangerous tendencies, which follow irrc-
deemable paper money mutations.

What has become of our quondam
cold water Brotherhood who came down on
the rum trade with the frosts of last au-
tumn, and threatened blight as sudden and
whelming as the death of the flowers be-
meath the touch of the hoar fingers of
Boreas? Waxing and waning in the au-
tumn days are they going to give up the
contest, after making such formidable pre-
parations for vigorous campaign? 1t
was the purpose to petition the legislature
so extensively this Winter that in procur-
ing signers, every voter in the State was
to be appro ached and so large majority
Of the whole voting population of the
State secured as petitioners that no mem
Der would stand in dread of being cut at
the polls in future election when called
upon to make sacrifices for his State. The
legislature ought to be followed up with
strong lobby and long petitions for more
popular license law.
The Alliance advertised an adjourned
meeting to be held at Elkton last Satur-
uayy DuI We 90" vi lCdlu VI LuC
meeting. Neither have we seen any thing
of the petitions which were promised to be
passed round for names in favor of "local
option before the meeting of the legsla-
ture. The ancient mariners in the cause
should not relax effort and grow weary of
well-doing, or give over to despair. because
the Republican party were not successful
at the late elections. Their candidates
were denounced because they refused to
subscribe to a dictated pledge. Such
abandonment apparently to despair after
the defeat of the Republican candidates,
looks like the faith of the Brotherhood
had adopted them as its sheet anchor. If
this is true Interpretation of the appar-
ent paralysis manifested by the Local OPP
ton leaders, why was such threatening
demonstrations of distrust as well as porer
made to head our ticket? We have been
waiting for a petition to come round, but
have waited in vain. We greatly fear that
drought has absorbed the thunder clouds
which threatened deluge last Autumn.

now exists is worse than none, aud is bet
ter calculated to promote fraud than to
prevent it. Ten thousand names are car
ried to the lists from which "repeaters
can make their selections, and vote all day
with impunity. The Register, who is
often an illiterate and corrupt person, is
clothed with judicial powers which should
only be exercised by learned and upright
Judges. 1t is no justification of the law to
say that an act somewhat similar in its pro-
visions was passed in 1865. Under the act
of 1865 the Registers had no such extend
ed jurisdiction nor summary powers as
they have under the act of 1870. We are
willing to admit that for the convenience
OF the Judges of Election it might be pro
per to have registry law applicable only
to the city, but the officers who execute it
should be hedged in by the strictest statu-
tory Limitations, and they ought not to be
the judicial autocrats that they are under
the act Of 1870.
One complaint, however, is brought
against the present Registry law which we
think is unjust. The Sun suggests that it
should be so amended as to make impossi-
BILE the payment Of such outrageous bills
as the one recently passed upon and allow
ed by the City Council. We think that
the Act of 1870 is sufficiently explicit upon
this point. The compensation fixed by
law is not excessive. The demand made
upon the City Treasury by the Registers
for upwards of $780, was not under color
Of law, but in defiance OF law. We are
satisfied with the Act of 1870 upon the
score of economy. When the dishonest pur-
pose is present, statutory restrictions are
of no avail, unless they are enforced. We
complain that the City Council, acting in
its legislative capacity, violated the law in
ordering the payment of such bill as fla
gravity as the men who presented it.
The Legislature ought to promptly re-
