The cry Of some people is that the
slaughter of BIRDS" must be stopped.
IL is certainly n question as to what
bounds the prevention Of killing or
trapping birds should be carried. A bill
pending before the Legislature of In
diana to prohibit the killing of quails for
five years is strenuously opposed by the
farmers on the ground that the increase
would be so great 10y the end of that
time that all the grain in the State would
not suffice TO feed them. An exchange,
commenting on the subject, says:
There seems to be good cause for this
fear for if there are 500,0 600 quaiIs in the
State and each pair produced ten chicks
"a year both small quantities. the total
humber at the end Of two years would
be Is 100000 and at the end of the fifth
year 3 .SeS, 100000, which would require
$4,000, 900 bushels Of grain per day TO
feed them.
In Kansas the cry is: "Prescrve the
birds they Will destroy the grasshop-
pers." Now, which is bcst-that the
crops should be destroyed by the birds
or the grasshoppers.

more useful TO the country and the ad-

contest wall then rest principally between
Matthews and Taft.

THE PRESIDENTS CABINET APPOINTMENTS.

Although the country for q number
of days was anticipating such cabinet
as was appointed, when the names
wero finally sent into the Senate for con-
firmation quite a commotion was Great
cd. Conkling objected to this man, and
Blaine TO that man, and in fact there was
more or less objection TO every one oil
them. 1t seemed fer while as If Re.
publican Senator'S were on the point OF
reading the President out OF the party,
and the Democrats on the alert and iu-
bilant at The possibility of prospect OF
dlsrupting the Republican party. There
was in fact seemingly a tendency on the
part of leading Republican Senators to
create n rumpss, because President
Hayes had not followed their dictation
in the construction of the cabinet. But
few days passed by and the better
Judgment of The dissatisfied Senators
gained the asccndancy. They gallant
by wheeled into line, and, apparently at
least, ratified the nominations of the
President. The party is thus as united as
ever, and the mass of the Republicans
seem 20 indorse President Hayes policy
as foreshadowcd in bis cabinet appoint
ments. The appointments have all been
confirmed, and he construction Of the
cabinet is now as follows Secretary Of
State, w. NJ. Evarts; Secretary of War,
Goo. w. McCrary Secretary of Treas
ury, John Sherman ; Secretary of the
Navy, Richard W. Thompson Attorney
General, Chas. Devcnr; Secretary OF
Interior, Carl Scharz Postmaster Gen.
eral David NJ. Key.
Of course it is not such q cabinet as
this Republican, or that Republican
might choose, but it is admitted to be
very able one in the main. We believe
that it could not have been much i'm
pro-ed on and will satisfy the greater
portion of the Republican party.

The Chesapeake and Ohio road Is adding

to the tank at the round-house. The water
will be forced up an incline Of about thirty
feet in distance or about three hundred
Yards. The water is brought from small
spring which fortunately happened to be on
the grounds. Every day or two we hear
that the first division will be established
here, but it has not yet been done. It Is,
however, one OF the inevitable things, as
the necessity OF the road seems to demand
it, and we rest satisfied that our predictions
in reference to the importance Of the ap-

end will be fully realized.
The ladies and gentlemen OF the different

The splendid weather OF the last two

In the MAYORS Court This morning the
case of W. c. G.. Andrews, OF LittletoD,
N. c.. charged with passing two forged
drafts ;r.this city last week, one for $50 and
one for $40, was called for examina-
ton. ! Mr.. Heptinstall who Is alleged
to have drawn the drafts-that is,
whose name was signed to them-failed
to appear to give evidence. The
drafts were drawn on billiard & Moore, Of
Norfolk. The accused having previously
adu,itted that Mr.. Heptinstall's name was
forged. nothing remained but to establish
the fact that he passed them. This being
done, he WINS sent on to the Hastings Court
for trial, and remanded to Jail. Andrews
is mere youth, Of very respectable connec-
tions in North Carolina, and the son Of q
most worthy Methodist minister. He says
the forgerIes were committed by party
named Butts, who has recently figured
around in Petersburg, Richmond, and Nor
folk, who led him into the commission OF
the offence.
The funeral of the late Justice Samuel 81.
Phillips, of Mechanicsville, Chesterfield

vious year.
The February term OF the Hastings

being altogether Of civil cases, and very
small one, the session will lie brief.
The scenes around the warehouses have

tobacco were large. The planters are en-
tirely satisfied with the prices they IRE now
realizing, which are better than at any time
since the new year.
Matters in the city are quiet. Intense in.
interest is felt as to the decision Of the
Electoral Commission in the Louisiana case.
People are generally hoping for the best,
but are IN nowise confident.
Business Is unusually good, and has been
