LIVE STOCK.

Lawrence Journal Stoekmen all report the
cattle as getting along nicely during this sharp
weather SO far we have heard of no loss OF
either cattle or sheep. With plenty Of hay,
grain aud shelter there Is no risk OF losing any
thing in this line
The number OF live cattle exported, chiefly to
Great Britain, in the year ended June 30, 1851,
was lS5.707. valued at Sl4 SeAltS. For theyeas
ended June 80 lsS2, the number was los li9 4
decrease Of 1857, and in value OF Se,5uSei6.
The decrease was, however, no greater IN pro
portion than that generally in the expectation
of articles of food. BY an order OF the priyy
council OF Great Britain, of February. les9 all
cattle imported from the United States must be
slaughtered at the port Of arrival within ten

testified that the cost Of making coke

same coal could now be bought in Mobile
at 10, and as soon as the CoOsa river is
cleared OF distractions it can be had at 42.
Mobile was the only port in the country
70 which coal could be tiDated direct from
the mines on river tido. General Burke
concurred in the opinion that Alabama
would before long supply Central America
with coal, as she is ], 800 miles nearer than
England. The harbor improvements at
Mobile had been success as
there ia now twenty-five feet of water
where before there was only ten feet.

Warrior fields that was six miles long and

Of canal coal. The port receipts at Mobile
had increased, Gen. Burke said, from ;4O,.
600 TO $4,000. Ex Senator Willard
Warner testified voluminously upon polit.
ical end industrial questions. He said il
costs about Sl5 a ton to make charcoal
iron, the labor costing ;l43j Under
| such conditions it would be
impossible to compete successfully
with English iron makers on an equal
footing. Col. j. S!oss, president of the
Sloss furnace company, and also president
of the South IL North railroad, was another
good witness. He said his furnace could
make coke iron at sll.0O a ton. Beipg

The Man for President.

Mr.. WattersOn, of the Louisville
Courier Journal, thinks that Mcdonald
is just the man for president; and we are
quite In sympathy with him in one reason
that he gives for his choice. He is not
brilliant man he says. d" II he was,
l for one would oppose his nomination.
We do not want q brilliant man in the
White House. We want man of sound
sense and deliberation, for if we are to
come into power we shall need to go ex.
ceedingly slow" Just so. Brilliant
men are too likely to be erratic. We do
not want any 2:l0 fast and vic Gus horses

for a presidential candidate it should
examine with care the record of those
who are trOtted out for inspection,
and should resolutely reject all who have
at any time pulled wrong. There is
Bayard, for instance, who has an excel
lent record in general, but who went
astray on the electoral commission bust

that we would fear 10 fully trust him in
position where such political mistakes
would be very disastrous to the party and
the country. There was one man in the
