General Beauregard's Will.

New ORLEANS, Feb. 28.-The
will of the late Gen. P. u. T. Beaure
gard was probated today.
His estate, with the exception OF
a few small requests. is left to his
children. To the Soldiers Home
he gives $500. To the city of
Charleston, s. c., the general gives
sword which was presented tn
him bv some ladies of New Orleans
IN 1851, as a token OF honor for
his services in capturing Fort
Sumpter.
To the state of louisiana he be.
queaihs lifs-sized portrait of the
teslator painted by Mr.. Genin, the
well-known artist of New Orleans
and by him presented to General
Beauregard.
After disposing of the property
the testator instructs his executors
to have his body cremated, pros
vided, however, that there be cre>
matOry in successful operation in or
near New Orleans at the time of
his death. The general gave as
reason for wanting his body cremat>
ed that he considered cremation
better for the sanitray condition OF
such a climate as Louisiana than the
present mode of burial. As there
IS no crematorY anywhere pear, this
request was considered void.

RALPH DAVIS DISCARDED.

Judge Estes, of the circuit court
of Shelby county, rendered dicis-
ion Saturday morning in the Simon
Davis case. The readers of The
BULLETIN are familiar with The
case, consequently it is unnecessary
to go into details. Davis was &C
cused Of conduct unbecomlng a
member of the legal profession.
After listening patiently to argu-
ments of attorneys, and carefully
weighing the evidence of the wit
nesses. Judge Estes formally dis
barred Davis from practice in any
of the courts of Tennessee. A
motion was Immediately made by
Homes Cummins, attorney for de-
PENDANT, tor a new trial. The mo
ton was overruled, whereupOn an
appeal was taken to the supreme
court. Whether the verdict OF the
lower court is sustained or reversed,
the character of Ralph DA Wis will
forever rest under cloud, and dis
grace will be attached TO his name.
He has been denied the right to
associate with honorable gentlemen,
in an honorable profession.
AT present, ne is speaker of the
house of representatives of the state
of Tennessee. Unless he resign:
this position, the members should
take s cps Immediately to lmpeach
him.
Ralph Davis is young, and has
plenty Of sense. Perhaps he vii

opinion the best thing he can do II
to move to some other country.

IT is no longer a question of doubt
as to which party will control the
senate. Democracy will have full
sway in all branches of the govern
ment, tor the first time in over a
third of a century. The next two
years will be a critical period in the
history of the democratic party.
We have a brave, honest, fearless
leader in the person of Mr. Cleve-
land, who has surrounded himself
with able advisors. If the promises
to which they are pledged are full
filed, in our opinion the country
will he benefited. If these prom
Uses are not fulfilled, four years

Shrinkaae in the Cattle Crop.

WASHINGTON, ID. G., Feb. 26 =
The department of agriculture has
just competed its cattle census.
The results are startling. There is
a decrease shown in the mum Der OF
stock cattle, and it is of such pro-
poi tons as will have marked eff
feet ON prices the coming year.
The statistics show:
"The scarcity of feed IN Virginia
induced farmers to sell off feeding
bullocks closely. The nO-feuce law
in some of the Southern states has
caused a reduction of nun bers. the
more worthless of the old STOCK HAYS
ing been sacrificed to the manifest i'm
prOvement of the existing herds.
The low price Of cattle RAthe ranch
regions, and the encouragement
after long waiting for rise, have
tended 10 reduce the mum bers of
cattle. In many cases the growers
of cattle have transferred their in
terests 10 horses. There appears
lite change IN numbers OF mich
cows, slight decline being reported
in some states, and small Increase
in others, especially in the districts
of enlarging population in the dis
tant West There is less finc ua-
ton in this class of farm animals
than In any other, as the milk sup
ply must be Kept up, and ample
provision made for the relative uni
form requirement of butter and
cheese factories"
But the census of stock catlle.
shows there are 1857 043 fewer
now than one yesr ago, An Increase
in values over last year is noted,
and the statIstician says:
''In the case of cattle it seems to
be the beginning of an advance,
which promises still higher values to
growers, in sympathy with the rise
in prices OF beeves ready tor
slaughter"
The reduction in the number of
hogs in the country IS made still
more notable by the conlem plaiIon
of the department census. THIS
country has 6,330.212 fewer hogs
than one wear ago. The decrease
Is about II ser cent.
