Three of the cows belonging to Mr. Higgs's dairy
were attacked with the cattle plague on Friday, and
four more on Saturday last. It was then ordered
by the cattle inspector that all the remaining cows
(23 in number) should be slaughtered and sold for
human food, in order that the disease might not
spread further.

TIIE PRESIDENT AND THE OLD POLITICAL
PARTIES.—The New York Herald says the response of
President Johnson to the delegation of Democratic
politicians from Pennyslvania, who called at the
White House a few days ago, has the ring of the
true metal, which distinguishes at once the states-
man from the mere trading politician. In reply to
their professions of endorsements and support of
his Administration the President said :—" If you
come to me as patriots, I feel I may count on the
support you offer; but if as partisans only, it is
more doubtful, as I shall not swerve from my sense
of duty for party men or party objects." This is a
noble utterance, worthy of the patriot and statesman
who now occupies the Chief Magistrate's chair of
this great republic. They are words which will
cheer the hearts of and encourage every true Ame-
rican. In making that assertion President Johnson
touched a chord in the hearts of his countrymen
which will return to him a cordial response from
the remotest corner of our land. The Herald trusts
that upon this he will stand, and that upon " this
line he will fight it out if it takes his entire term."
All who have carefully watched and scrutinised the
course of Andrew Johnson since he assumed the
duties of the Executive of the nation must have long
since realised that he was guided solely by a sense
of duty. From the very commencement of his Ad-
ministration his public acts, decisions, and procla-
mations have all clearly indicated that the interest of
the country, and not party, prompted his course. To
such his brief speech was useless, and contained
nothing new. It is well, however, that it was made, for
the most obtuse cannot now fail to comprehend
the situation. There is no longer room for doubt.

At the late convention of coloured people held at
Augusta, Georgia, resolutions were adopted opposing
universal suffrage, but favouring the voting of such
coloured men as can read and writo well, with the ad-
dition of the proper qualifications ; that all vices and
crime among freedmen should be discountenanced; that
the Freedmen's Bureau should compel negroes to work,
and make contracts, if they required. to do so, voluntarily ;
that Southern property should not be confiscated, and
condemning the proposition that the Southern States are
practically territories.

vice.—To all persons who suffer from bilious headaches,
disordered stomach, biliousness, or flatulency, those pills
are most strongly recommended as tho safest, best, and
quickest mode of obtaining ease without weakening or ir-
ritating the nervous system. Holloway's pills aro espe-
cially useful in clearing away excess of bile, which usually
produces fever unless remedial means be adopted without
delay. In asthma, bronchitis, and congestion of the lungs,
they may be relied upon for removing all danger, and by
purifying and regulating the circulation they efficiently
prevent relapses by rousing the liver to a fair secretion of
bile and quickly carrying it from the system. These pills
ward off low spirits, listlessness, and those distressing feel-
ings viten called norym.
