The State Offices.

1t seems not improbable that in the cleo
ton OF State officers the Democrats will
make q distribution OF places according to
congressional districts as far rs they can do
80 without hurt to the public interest.
Exactly what plan will be ado pied cannot
be predicted. That will no doubt be the
subject OF much discussion. 1t is quite
certain, however, that the Democrats will
not adopt that odious feature Inaugurated
by the Malone caucus by which, under
pretence OF apportioning patronage to the
various districts, ii was sought to take
from heads Of departments the authority
TO appoint their own subordinates. A just
and proper and satisfactory recognition OF
all sections of the State can. and very likely
will, be made without following the false
steps OF the Coalition caucus.
The State offices to be filled are the two
Auditors, Treasurer, Register of the Land
Office, Secretary OF the Commonwealth,
Superintendent Of Public Printing, Super.
intendent and Storekeeper OF the Peniten-
fmry. All OF these will enter upon their
duties January 1, 1884. Railroad Commits
sioner may have to be elected by this
Legislature, but he will not go into Office
for good while to come. Independent OF
these State ofEcers-elected on Joint bal
iot-each house elects its own clerk, ser
geant-at.arms, door-keepers, &c.
The Coalition officials filling these places
are rapidly preparing 10 vacate.

OUR CAVALRY COMPANY.
Some Suggestions from Dfsffn'

/ am glad to learn that we will soon have
troop OF cavalry in Richmond. The per-
sOnrel OF the officers as at present indi-
Gated gives us evidence OF an efficient and
successful organization OF wel-appointed
and well-disciplined troop. They are all
veterans OF the war, who were familiar
with the boots and saddle" the roar and
rattle OF artillery, and CHATTER OF the sabres.
With sabres and siX-shooters the troop
will be well armed. There is no real diff
Guilty i'm procuring from the Ordnance De-
partment in Washington complete equip.
ment OF horse equipage and arms for full
troop OF horse.
Every man should own his horse, and
with diligence in attention to drill the troop
will be in condition to show good practice
with the pistol and the sabre by the next
annual competitive drill. Riding at the
heads with the sabre is far more exciting
than fitting az the ring as practiced In our
sO-called tournaments" But nothing |
have ever tried equals in excitement and
effect the riding at the heads with the six
shooter. have known a troop in which
twenty men would put five balls out OF six
into the target ut full speed.
The formation in single rank il the pro-
per formation nov, as used by Generals
Forrest, Armstrong, and many OF our
ablest cavalrvmen, and by General Averill.
Of the Federal cavalry, than whom none OF
their officers were more efficient or en-
lightened, or had better disciplined corps.
/ believe we are going to have great
success with our troop, and it will be the
nucleus for greater things hereafter. Ii
will serve, as the Howitzers did, as a school
for young officers for the next war.
