It is thought that Garfield's slate has been made up as to two of the Cabinet appointments. Blaine is to be Secretary of State and Don Cam erou Secretary of War. During the session of the Legisla ture we ahall have to surrender the pace on this to a great extent mat ia devoted usually to editorial comment and condensing. The Richmond Dispatch's faithful Washington correspondent, in bis special of the 8tb, says: "Tbere U much lalk about tbe orgaoiz -tioo of lUc oext House, and lbs rumor pre rails ihi tbe Republicans will unseat a oumber uf Democratic members Irom ibe Niuia A Democrat remarked to me, how ever, to-day. that he will stay "aotil the cows come home' before he will permit it. tie added that 'there is more bribery in a siogle Northern Slate than in tbe whole South.'

VOL. XXVII. NO. 93. We congratulate the Legislature upon the good start it has made. They have gone to work in earnest, without needless delay, and appear willing to get through the public business in time and go home: They can get away by February 20tb, i they so elect, we suppose, and there is no law to compel them to remain in session sixty days. We have not known a Legislature to get to work so soon and so satisfactorily as the present one in a long time. The Raleigh New- Observer whose editor s on the ground and is therefore bet ter posted than we are, at present, says : "They have introduced . already many bills of importance, covering much of the matter likely to demand action at tbe hands of the Assembly and calculated to promote the general welfare. On the whole tbe public business is unusually advanced, and we mny anticipate, from tbe determination shown by l be members to get to work, that toe Legislature iu t)e eminently a useful one for tbe State. It is conceded on all sides ibat iu material it is the beat Aasem oly we have bad sioce tbe war, and that for brains, competency and real solid men, it win compare favorably with any that has oeeu neia lor many years.

Among top donations were seven red comforts from a Children's Society of New London, Conn. Since tbe middle of November the managers have assisted sixty-two families with provisions, articles of clothing, shoes, &c, and distributed sixteen cords of wood. Tbere is no telling what amount of suffer ing and distress was averted by this timely agency; but tbere is yet much to be done, and we hope the generous ladies, who have shown themselves possessed of such liberal hearts and willing hands, may still further receive the hearty encouragement and co-operation of our citizens of means in their noble work of ministering to the wants of tbe needy poor in our midst, ArrMi of Bootblacks.

His remarks were eminently logical, practical and forceful, and he was listened to throughout most attentively.
