It is evidently a joyous life this sleighing,
with the linking bells, and the spirited
horses, and the snowshying from Che run
ners as they run. The brisk air xhilarates,.
and the robes areso comforting as the pas
sengers fly, with the wind whistlihg Dy
their cars.
But, then, to understand something OF II
here, we must remember that the chance 10
ride In the sleigh is seldom enjoyed ana "a,
that when 1t does come to the young people
they are wonderfully elated, as the horses
well know. The drivers and their happy
g passengares' y especially the eweet ones)
are crazy for speed-and more speed.
However fast the horses may be, the 6 pas
sengares - are yet faster! =.
+ So we here make the most OF our few
days OF festive sleighing, as the horses know
again, We saw horses yesterday trotting
with gay trappings and jingling bells foam
ing from exercise. The white foam, that
looked like icing to the cakes, and rivalled
the snow in whiteness, gathered at the
breeching, and along the lines OF harness,
and about the collar. and whited the lips
and the beard Of the ;steeds. And they
went! What difference, thought we, is
there between these Jolly sleigh-riders and
the people in Vermont, for instance, where
there are months OF sleighing, and where it
is the mode Of transportation-the very bu-
siness Of the country 1t is there, in COM
parison, a tame affair-just as tame as will
be the horses worked in sleighs here after
the brief season is passed. But the horses
will have their revenge. Some of these
days the riders will go forth gay and bright;
and find their runners on the mud before
night.
We somewhat envy the horses the serene
rest they will have when the runners come
to the mud. We heard a horse, the other
evening, as he walked from the shafts OF
the sleigh into the stable, say, "Well, these
"people are crazy over short time OF
"sleighing. wish this cussed business
"was over. 1t may be fun for men, but it
"is death to us horses" "Dat's So" said
the ostler.

Governor Letcher for the Sheep.

Governor L6CCQer 1OT the SnS6p.
The Wing OF yesterday publishes speech
OF Governor LETcHER's in behalf of pro-
tecting sheep from the ravages Of dogs.
This speech puts the case in the strongest
light, and if argument could have. due,
weight in the scale against dema-dog-ism the
measure he supports would slide through
the Legislature as easily as does aship from
her ways into the sea. a. go .t'
The trouble has been to tax 4 thing that
has no value; which thing is dog; But
then the dog may be licensed under the
Constitution, and In this way the Governor
and those who concur with him are dis
posed to make the worthless dog contribute
something towards the support of the State
aud the payment of the public debt. Most
Justly, too; for the dog consumes great
deal, and destroys 8 great deal more, in
Guiding sheep, which have become the most
profitable Of animals to the farmer, while
dogs are the most valuelesS known to do
nestle economy. ..~@a ~. g. ?.
Without going into the discussion OF o
matter we have so often talked about, we
copy the following from the Governors
speech with reference to the value OF sheep
to the husbandman:
The Commissioner. Of Georgia states
ttfhat 100 sheep regularly folded viii ferti-
lie, so as to double the yield OF crops, eight
acres year. AT this rate, even the number
at present in Georgia will fertiiize annually
25,544 acres. Suppose this area were
planted in cotton, and that without the
sheep manure, it would produce only half
OF bale Of cotton per acre. The increase
on that area would be IL, 772 bales OF cotton,
worth, at $50 net per bale, $685., 60D." 1t
follows, then, il there were TWO millions
Of sheep in that State, as there would be
IL sbeep-raising were properly protected,
the increased production. at the rates stated
would .be werth $4,000, 900. IL this is q
probable and reasonable calculation as to
the result In Georgia, is there reason to
suppose that II sheep We're well protected
In this State the results would not be the
same? Why, then, hesitate to adopt the
measured have introdnced?" 3l..:.5 u .. 81:
Exactly Why nots Sheep are the most
valuable Of domestic animals-dogs the
most yalueless. shan't the former be pro,
tected from the latter? To protect sheep
we shah increase the business: that rewards
the husbaHdman best and Increases the gene,
raj wealth, and to tax dogs we extract,
tribute to the public treasury from what
has been % nothing to the State. Excellent!

To the Editors of the Dispatch: -.
Gentlemen,-In your issue OF To-Day
."B.'s' letter appears to me to mislead. l.
infer from it that he has Deither travelled IN
or read much of Russia. AS far as history
explains, it shows clearly that Russia IS one
Of the most despotic Governments IN
Europe. The difference between Russia
and Turkey is The former is strong, ao-
solute Power, who. whatever its atrocities
are land they are many) has the Will and the
power to suppress information IN regard
thereto; and where it does leak out Gov
eminent cares to insult it by protesting.
On the other hand, Turkey is weak, and a
great deal OF the trouble in her provinces Is
due to Russian intrigue and ferment,, as
pretext not so much for the sake OF civliiza-
ton as conquest. I do not wish to defend
Turkish crueIties, but do say that the. free
dom of the subjects OF the Sultan will COM
mare with those of the Car. [ might in
stance the Russian Poles, Jews, Circasslans,
etc. I think the Jews, who have informa-
ton, will bear me out that their brethren
have greater suffering to endure under the
Russians than they have in Palestine under
the Turks, and last year witnessed the ar
rival in America OF religious sect driven
out by Russian intolerance. Why the con-
ference? AS far Us I learn, it assembled
partly to advance civilization, but more
especially to check Russia's advance on Con-
stantinople by removing her pretext.
The reason England sides with Turkey is
not that she approves of her government,
but by maintaining the status quo prevents
the most serious war that has taken place
for driving the Turk out OF Europe will
cause quarrel over his dominions, as there
are several claimants. Englands interest
appears to be clear highway to her I'M
mense Eastern possessions, and she thinks it
necessary that it should either be in the
hands of weak Power or her own.
Why Americans, boastful OF their free
dom, should side with despotic Russia, is a
problem I cannot solve. Yours truly,
,. t.. T. w. WOOD.

lIt IS only fair to state that the following
special dispatch, " hich has been sent us by
an occasional correspondent with unusually
good means for getting information, repre-
sents the opinions of persons high up in the
Republican sanhedrim. The coloring given
to the facts is, OF course, the correspond
ent's own; but the facts may be relied upon
to be authentic, as stated.-EdttorS BATH
more Euening Bulletin.
Senator ConkIinr's Fashionable De-
termination to Have n Concurrent
Votc.-EGect Of That, &C., dc.
WASHINGTON, january al have, as you
requested me, made diligent inquiry among
all those who are most likely to know and
most capable Of forming an opinion in re-
gard to the rumors so busily circulating in
private, and caught up by the sensational
press, affecting Senator Conkling's position
on the Senate's Jurisdiction In counting the
vote. / find that all who are entitled to
know anything about it are agreed that
there is not the slightest foundation for the
supposition that Mr.. ConkIing has grown
" weakened" t -.
The distinguished senator Is unquestion-
ably smarting keenly over his defeat at Gin
cinnati, and particularly at the manner Of
it, and the ingloriously complete character
OF his bouleversement. Coming rs it did
upon his defeat in the New York State Con-
vention, in the person Of his friend and
henchman Cornell, it was a terrible blow
indeed, and Conkling, with his supreme
self-opinion and vanity, is peculiarly sus-
ceptible to such strokes OF i'll fortune. But
in spite OF all this, his loyalty to the party
is unquestioned and unquestionable, and
whoever else may bolt or kick, he will keep
in the traces beyond doubt. I am in
formed upon the best authority that his
own family vouch for his staunchness in the
coming crisis, and some of them are SO
much piqued at the bad treatment he has
met with in the house OF his friends that
they iwould not be sorry If he did exercise
little more than usual Of his senatorial
"discretion." %I4.5't i@iEts.2.. ;"
The prevailing opinion here is that all the
Republican senators will stand firm In about
the position which has been announced for
them in advance, and that the only result OF,
the action OF the conference committee
will be the adoption!of aruIe that the votes
Of no State are to be rejected except In ODE
dience to the concurrent action OF both
houses. If both houses do not agree to
exclude theyot OF the State, according to
the official returns, then the vote must be
counted /. 10 r''. 80
/, heGadoption Of this rule will give the
election to Hayes, although as yet there has
been no decision come to in regard to the
Oregon case, which must necessarily be
provided for in some special way. But
that Hayes win be counted in by the Senate
seems here to-day, with the best possible
light upon the subject, foregone conclu-
sion. So . 80. 81.

State md National Issues in South
Carolina.
COLUMBIA. S. c.. January 2.-General
Hampton is appointing agents to receive
the tax Just levied for the support OF his
government, and five thousand dollars were
collected in Charleston to-day at his request
to be used by him for the relief Of the State
penitentiary and lunatic asylum, whose in
mates are without food. Indications are
that the tax will be generally paid.
A rumor is current that the Smith hdbeas
corpus case, involving the question who is
the lawful Governor, was prearranSed by
Chamberlain and the Superintendent OF the
Penitentiary, they having the assurance Of
q favorable decision by Judge Carpenter,
whose sudden departure for the North last
night probably gave rise to the rumor.
T. Carpenter and Judge Mackey are bitter
foes, and the former, it is said, will visit
Governor Hayes to undo any good effect
produced by Mackey's visit. can say all-
thoritatively that belief in the election OF
Hayes, and the opinion that Hayes could as
President do more for the South than Til
den, imputed by Mackey to Hampton in re-
cent dispatches, is complete misrepresent-
alton OF Hampton's views. The aid given
to the Democrats by Mackey in the late cam
vass will probably prevent any denial by
Hampton likely to reflect on Mackey.
In conversation yesterday Mr.. Sayler,
chairman OF the House committee, informed
me that majority Of his committee did not
authorize the statement that the apparent
majority for the Hayes electors in, South
Carolina is legal and devoid of fraud; also,
that the dispatch purporting to be signed
by him and two others announcing the cleo
ton of the Hayes electors was not signed
by them, and is wholly unauthorized. Mr.
Sayler thinks majority and minority reports
will be made, and is evidently OF opinion
that the rejection of the illegal precincts and
votes will largely reduce .Hayes's majority,
and may elect the Tilden electors.
