The measure in question combines the thiee offices into oue, with but small increase ot expense. Benator Kennard has been ap- prised of his sppointment as 0oe of the bourd of appraisers of Chero- kee lands in Kansus and Tndian Territory, with the neat Little salary of $6 per day and expenses. This is the office which bus been made otorious by the testimony of Small, representative from Clay, before the B. & M. investigation committee, | in which he siated that Hitchooek, nret through ex-Gov. Butler, and Al d directly said “thsi Mr. Hitcheock had received fcom the Secretary of the luterjor a letter placiug at bis disposal an appoint- ment as appraiser of certain lands, which 1 uuderstood him fo_be In- disn lands out in Kansas * * & aud he proposed to give me a sight atit.” * * * i had been ofier- «d to two others, Fitchpatrick aud Mjlls by other parties, but Butler clnimed that he had the the exclus- ive coutrol of thal appointment, aud that he had offered it to anoth- er, who was hesitating to aocept it, and 5o he felt_at liberty to bestow it upon Bmsll. This i the office which Kensrd obtaine for his 1es timable services in the late senato- rial contest, and uniike tle young men referred to Tom accepts any- thing. THE JUDICIAKY COMMITTEE reported a goodly mumber of bills to pass and put an end to the ex- istence of (1) bill relative to trans- fer of personal property; (2) for pro- tection of innocent jurchasers of mortgaged personat proporty. This committe has had more bills refer- red to1t than ony otber, awd has suc cesstully disposed of more than any other. ‘Oue matter of nnportance which was referred to seems to lie quietly somewhere, viz: 1 resolu- tion referred to ina former letter as pertuining to that 38,000 with wii Jamesand Webster are said to have been connectea.

In answer t0 & question as to his opinion of the presidential muddle, he replied that he was like a great miany others—he didu’t have any decided opinion, but from the tele- grams of (he last two days, e thought the prospects for Hayes lovked very favorable. It seemed {0 bim that the judges were voting according to ‘heir partizen feelinge, allhough be might be mistaken, and their decieion eminently cor- rect.

The fact that the Auditor did not draw his warrant in payment there- of ie evidence that they were not issued according to law. If there e uny ground for these objections, the bill had better die in the House, and it may be well for Senators to give the bill & thorough perusal, as the Benator from Cumiug is usually clear in his opinjons By the second act which was passed in this body, 1t is provided that the Biate may sue and be szed in the same manuer in the District Courts as individuals.

The bill passed the committee of the whole by a vote of fifty to twenty-nine. Messrs.

'Lhe bill provides that at the election next fall three men shall be elected to constitute what shall be known as a board of education, each member to receive for his services three dollars per day for time employed. The board is to take the place of the county superin tendent. The bill paseed the committee as introduced, with but few unimpor- tant chunges, save the striking out of the fi'th section by motion of Shelby.

This 19 that there are none iu the car, and that there never will be until social reform in Turkey attains proportions the magmtude of which even the mest edvarced ofthe eune Turque’ paity shrink from contemplating. I notice that there is a door st the end of our car, which is being con- stanily opened and shut to give 5 to the couductor as be col- s the tickets. That portal ieads the ladies' compartment, and theremn they sit veiled, but by no means up to the eyes. There are some with bundles, and there sre otbers with babies, and, as a rule, the majority of these fair wearers of ine yashmak are giggling. To me there is no more beauteous sound iu the world thau that of the laughter of women; still you have a natural dewre to know what they are amusing themselves at. Tue gig- livg Turkish ladies are inscrutable. A volatile Krench friend of mine here assures me that les pelites dames Turques always begin to lsugh when they see a Frank, and it you passa carriage with a pair of Tarkish ladies m it and blow kisses to them, the fair inmates invariable return them to you. 1 am afraid, however, that my informant 1s an uncousequential youth; and I, at all events, should dread to venture upon such pbeumaiico-osculatory telegrapby. Supposing that it had turned out that I had wafted Kisses to ene of the wives of a_Bimbashi, a Kamakan, or a Zaptieh? There is borror 1 the thought. That tne couductor even should have been permitted to go backward and for- ward in this compartment full of possible Kadins and Khanums puz- zled me somewhat. To be sure he was black and that fact may have had something to do with the im- munity which he appeared—the burly rogue—to enjoy. We started at lust, the driver winding & most unearthly dirge on ahorn. I looked around, and per- ceived, to my delight, that, with the exception of my companion, I was in_exclusively Oriental com- pany. There wasnot & single stove- Ppipé,’ hat—nay, nor a wide-awake, or a ‘soft felt'—beyond our own in the car; and on counting beads I discovered that even the fezzes were in a minority. The turbans ‘had it,’ at least tive to four. I had an inkling, too, thus early of the remarksble social equality which tempers despotic institutions among this essentially democratic race— this people among whom, even as things uow stand the caikje or the cobbler to-day may entertain hopes of becommg Capidan Pasha or Grand Vizier to-morrow. Perhaps the turbaned gentieman, fluttering i grimy rags, who eat by my side in the tramway car, was thus des. tined to flourish as a Bashaw with three tails. He certainly looked s though a turn in the tide of his af- fairs would do him po harm. Next on the other side, wus a patriarchal personage with a lo.: - white beard, a pelisse lined with expensive furs, a cashmere shawl, worth at least 100 guiueas, round his ample waist, and a green turban, He was, so they gave we to understand, an Emir, & descendant of the Prophet.

It has been sufllciently shown that swarm of locusts obser ved by Prof. Robiuson hear the en- trance to Boulder (anon, Colosado, traveled a distance of about 600 ailes to Esstern Kansss and Mis- sourl. Though the swarm was first observed at some distance north of | Deuver, Col., it was then on its way from the north, and may have come from some parts of Wyoming 200 or 300 miies to the northward Though the winds way vary, and cot nter-currents exist, and aform- gu = from due north, such as often 8w ep over the plains, and local routlierly breezes may retard their flight, the course 1 either eastward or southeasteriy. We know enough of the winds in the Western States and Territories to lay down the law that the general dircetion of the wind in July or August, along the eastern slope of the Kocky Moun. tains and on the plains, is from the west and northwest, and accords with the eastward course of the locust swarms. On the froptier of the Western States, in Colorado, orin the Terri- tories of Wyoming Montana und Utah, where the losses by the rava- ges of the locust can not be easily made up by importations from con tiguous Territories, it seems the most practicable mode to provide in years of plenty against years of want. We should imitate on a grand scale the usage of the ancient Egyptiaus under Pharaob, who laid up for times of famine Itissaid that this has been done on a small scale by the Mor- mops 1f this were done in the Far West, in seasons immediately aiter preceding insect years, which had been predicted by entomologists, in copjunction with the meteorologists, we should be saved the distrese, destitution, and even loss of life from starvation, which bave result- ed from 1gnorance of the laws regu- Iating the appearance of destruetivo insects, especially the Western locust By simultaneous observations for a number of years over the region liable to be vistted by migratory herdes of locusts, addedi to the know- ledge we are already possess, it will not only be possible to predict the course of cert: “warms from their breeding-places and their provable destination, so that when 2 swarm starts from Montana or Wyoming, its arrival in Colorado & week or a fortnight later may with some cer= tainty be predicted, and, again, its arrival in Kavsas and sdjoining States be announced with a certain amount of precision, as has already been doue by Mr. Riley, but we ehall be able to foretell tie course taken in the return flight of their progeny in the suncceeding year. The solution of the problem, T think must ve sought in the dircction of the preysiing winds during the middle of June, the time when they become winged. It may be found after a series of careful biolog- ical and meteorological observations that ihe prevalling winds at this season are southerly and s utheast- eriy | It is not only of grest scieuifi | interest, but of lugh practieal im- in seeking for remedies sgainst ite | meteorological phenomena and the | in this country, but | Eastern States the sutamers of 1860 | of the eggs laid the year vievious, | X0 feet of | As| s the tree- | T portance, to collect all facts bearng | | on the re know where the locusts go in their refurn migrations the second year | as we only know that they do fly a | J. certain distance northwestward. | | We want to ascertain the extreme western Hmitsof their return migra- | tion. Wealso want (o learn wtether they return to their original breed- ng places on the eaciern slopes of the Rocky Mountams, or whether the westerly course of the winds, if | it be westerly, drive them back and scatter them, so that they do not breed extensively. A commission of entomologists should be appoint- | ed to make s thorough detailed study for several successive seasons of the habits of the locusts in the territories montioned.

Let us for a moment look at the losses sustained in the United States from the attacks of jnsects, The annual agricultural products of this country by the last census amounted to $2,500,0,0,000.
