From East To West.
For years the West has been talked of
and written about as furnishing cattle
for the East, but from recent movements
it appears that the trade has been re-
versed and the East is now furnishing
cattle for the West. In Southern Ala
bama and West Florida 800 head Of cattle
were recently announced as about to
start for the Texas Red river country,
and our exchanges in Southern Georgia
and Middle Florida have for some time
been complaining of the raids of the Texas
herdsmen upon those sections. The facts
indicate a great cattle boom out West.
where natural pasturage is still plentiful,
and that Texans and others find it more
profitable TO transport our Eastern cattle
to the Western pastnrage to be fattened
for market in single sea-
son, than to await the slow
process Of raising them at home.
The best of them will doubtless be used
in forming new herds, or TO I'LL up the
ranks depleted by the thousands shipped
to Europe and the North, but a large pro-
portion after a few months grazing will
doubtless again travel East for market,
this time in a higher latitude. The re-
mOval Of so large a number of cattle from
the sections named, will, of course, have
the good effect Of much improving the
natural pasturage of those sections for a
time, but it will also have the evil effect
Of compelling the people heretofore sup
piled by those sections to consume more
imported beef at higher prices. In the
main, therefore, we do not see that there
will be much gain TO the East by the ex-
change. If, however, those who have
now disposed of their scrub stock would
turn the proceeds into better breeds and
take advantage of the opportunity offered
to free themselves from dependence upon
so inferior and uncertain a source of sup
ply Of milk, butter and beef, there would
be a great gain to the East, and other sec
tiOns would be equally obliged by a sud
den Eruption Of the Texas COW boys.
The New York correspondent of the
Philadelphia Ledger, writes that ''Outside
Of New York there is increased pressure
Oh the part Ol the AtduEIs ~ nave tue new
York feUd closed up as speedily as posi-
BILE, so that the party may get in line as
speedily as possible for the Presidential
campaign. This pressure is especially
urged from New England and the North
west. and / now learn that, in Difference
to this sentiment, the so called Executive
Committee Of the Central Organization
will have a meeting about the 18th inst. to
consider the plan recently presented by
the committee of eighteen. This Executive
Committee, il may be observed, is CON-
posed largely 0fthe Presidents friends in
Guiding Bernard Biglin. Michael Crea-
gan, John r. Lydecker, Michael Burns
and Robert G.. McCOrd }, and it is morally
certain that whatever conclusion is ar
rived at will be in harmony with Mr..
Arthur's views of the political future.
The half breed members of the committee,
within the day or two past, have had Oc-
casiOn to have this circumstance brought
home to them in an unmistakable way,
and it is not surprising, therefore, that
they begin to be suspicious that they are
not to be somewhat Overruled. 1t is a

Antwerp is now the second seapOl of
the Continent, having Outstripped Ham,
burg, Rotterdam and Havre. 1t received
in 1882 the large number of 4,25s ships,
measuring 3,345,747 tons, and carrying
3.l20. 1 10 tons of actual cargOes. London,
Liverpool and Marssilles alone surpass
these figures. The quays bordering the
docks extend to about 1000 yards. Rail-
ways and warehouses are amply provided.
The sums laid on the improvement and
fertilization of the port amounted to So
496, $50 down 20 the year 1881.
Gen. Arson McCOOk is authority for the
statement that the Mexican Government
takes better care OF its people than the
United States Government. He says that
they don't permit the railways to rob peO-
pie in that country as they do in this,
illustrating his statement by the fact that
the traveller on the Southern Pacific pays |
ten cents a mile, ordinary fare, so long as
he is in the United States, but as soon as
hs crosses the boundary into Mexico the |
rate drops &c three cents a mile.

According 10 the Manchester Union,
New Hampshire is not the only New Eng
land State ia which schools in the rural
districts suffer from psucity Of pupils.
The Secretary Of the State Board OF Edn-
cation in Connecticut says that there were
in that State last year ffty-three schools
thai did not average three children each,
352 that did not average ten, and :, S35 that
did not exceed ffteen."
The New York Sun feels sure that
ssthere is no safety for the country except
in turning out the Republican party and
getting rid OF the immense array and

ed upon every branch Of the public SER
