Turkeys, Live and Dead WeigM.-
1t is stated that in the method of
dressing turkeys for the New York
market, where only the blood aud
feathers are removed. the loss is very
small but for the eastern markets,
where the heads and entrails are re-
moved, the loss is one-tenth the live
weight. a Turkey weighing alive
81 1>2 pounds, after dressing by the
first method weighed 90 l-2 pounds
"a loss of 2 pounds, or toI5,' when
ready for the spit he weighed 2S IA
pounds loss of 8 IA pounds, or
nearly oue-tenth. So if the price
for the latter style of dressing is 20
cents per pound, then 10 cents live
weight is about right, or less if the
labor Of dressing is counted. A little
calculation will show how much per
pound the labor of dressing costs.

that we would have to trade with the
Southern States, which ought to afford
a legitimate market for our manufac-
lures. I wrote at once TO the presi-
dents of Southern roads connecting
with the roads Of our own State, and
placed the subject i'm rs strong light
as ! could, that Southern manufac-
turers and merchants should have the
needed facilities for supplying their
products and goods to Southern con-
sumers, who preferred to have them
Courteous and prompt replies were
had, but no remedy was suggested
except by Gen. Malone, whose plan
was prO-rated tariff between all
roads in Virginia connecting with
more Southern lines-thus avoiding
focal tariffs which were charged on
all goods transferred from Que road to
another.
Within the next twelve months a
proper system Of pro-rating was
adopted, and | have always given Gen,
Malone the credit (and | think he
deserves it, Of breaking down the
former ruinous charges of freight
which passed over several lines Of
road. The effect Of this system was,
that instead of costing in freight more
than an article was worth in Virginia
to place it at some points in Georgia,
it could be placed there at a cost sat
islaCtory to the purchaser and under
this system the products of Virginia
manufactures and merchandise could
find a market in States which were
,Nirglnia's natural allies. AS a conse-
queEce, the business Of our firm was
soon carried into North Carolina,
South Carolina, Georgia, Florida,
Alabama, Mississippi Louisiana,
Texas, Arkansas and Tennessee,
when before, it had been limited to
Virginia alone. What was true of us
was true of others, and the effect on
all manufacturers and dealers was the
same.
In the nomination Of our next
Governor, trust that political trick
sters can be headed off, and that we
shall have gushing sentiment from
the masses, which viii permit no re-
straint in favor of a man who will
give heed 10 the material interests OF
The people on all questions involving
! debts, taxation, immigration, educa-
ton, agriculture, manufactures, mi
ming, transportation, de-, | think
Gen. Malone is such II man : but if he
should not be tie choice Of the con-
ventiun, there are others, such as Gen.
w. II. +. Ice, Robert Beverly and
others who will walk in the right path.
Very truly and respectfully,

Not only so, but over and again;
during the last two years, has he
told the editor of this paper that
the Funding Bill was not only un>
fortunate, but clearly unconstitu-
tional, and that he would vote for
no man for the Court of Appeals
until he had absolute assurances
that he would, rs a member Of that
Court, vote with Judge Staples to
make it nullity.
We speak what We do know
when we say these things, and we
speak them to the credit of cur
dead friend, who had the courage
and magnanimity to acknowledge
his error and to turn and try to res
lieve the State of the bondage he
had helped to impose upon her.
Cochran is dead, but his work of
reform must not die. We must
redeem the legislature, and we must
vote for no man for Governor who
is not in favor Of REIMBURSEMENT
ofIthe public debt and determined to
cut the chains of this Funding Bill.

SALTVlLIE, VA, I
July 3rd. 1877 !
To the Editor Of the Ne1O8
1t affords me pleasure to see that our
prospect for having the best Governor
Virginia ever had is Frightening every
day. | have been much gratified Of
late, in conversation with influential
gen llemen of Southwestern Virginia,
on the subject of the approaching
election, to see the petite prejudices,
heretofore rankling in the breasts Of
some, arc giving way to nObler impul-
SEES. The people seem now to realize
the wants of the Old, weather-beaten
State, and are strongly in favor Of
General William Malone" for their
next Governor. No one can honestly
deny the fact that he is eminently
suited to this Office, and what he has
already accomplished in the past
should be a sufficient guarantee of
what he will accomplish in the future,
if made Governor of Virginia. His
untiring energy, his unsurpassed fl
wandering ability, his sterling integ
ritY, his thorough knowledge of State
and State affairs, and the wants Of
Virginia that have so long been grOau-
ing under the weight of her pecuuiary
difficulties, all call loudly for h IN at
her helm. Our people should ever
feel grateful to General Malone, not
only on account of his invaluable
military service in their late struggle
for liberty, but for rescuing them from
radical rule aud from the iron.Leel of
tyrants.
Having been closely associated with
General Mahore for number of years
past, ] can confidently say that |
know something of his ability and
worth, and if the people of this State
will consider well thsir interest and
make him their next Governor, they
will never have cause for regret, and
will see (under his administration the
tattered garments of our old, mother
State renovated and her flag proudly
waving over their heads.
Hoping to see Gen. Malone Cover
nor of Virginia, and, after he has rid
us of our State burdens (Which he
will do then to see him Chief Magis-
trate of these United States, | remain,

THE DYING TESTIMONY OF
SENATOR COCHRAN.

The death Of Judge Cochran, on
Monday of last week, calls up one
of the most forciblc lessons Of the
day. In 1871 he voted for the
Funding Bill, and, though he died
at the early age Of 40, he lived to
regret that unfortunate and mis-
guided step in his youthful career.
Since 1870 he has been a member
of one or the other Of the houses
Of the General Assembly. In
mitigation of his great mistake it
must be said that this vote for the
author Of our greatest woes was
one of his earliest legislative acts.
lie was then but 35 years of age,
and was misled and deceived by
the message of Gov. Walker, who
had determined to induce the legis-
lature to wrap around Virginia the
chains of financial bondage so that
she could not disengage herself
during the present generation
Gov. Walker made it appear that
the property of the State was ais
most double its actual value. The
tllIacies Of that message are now
patent to all the people Of the
State, and, though they are now
dead and impalcd ON public opin,
ion, they lived long enough to de
ccive the lamentod Senator Coch-
ran.
During his recent Senatorial ca
rccr he was one of the un-
iiinching anti-funders OF the State,
and often has he told lis friends
that his vote for the Funding Bill
was the most unfortunate act OF his
official life.

the Southwest speaks thus decidedly.

we see one Of her chief. her ablcst and
