SPIRIT OF THE MORNING PRESS

The tniOn contains, to-day, an able and
convincing defence of Mr.. Buchanan's con-
nection with, and course on the Ostend mani
festo, and attributes the restoration Of peace
and order in Kansas to the energetic measures
of the Government here.
The Inteli,geneer, discussing the recent ir-
regularity of the California mails, says:
"ltm may be proper to state, however, that
the Postmaster General is of the opinion that
the irregularities in question are not alto
getter attributable to negligence on the part
Of tie contractors, but results in part from
The insufficient character Of the existing mail
arrangements, authorized by law, between
New Orleans and the Isthmus of Panama,
and would in great measure be prevented
by the establishment of a direct communica-
tion by steamships between New Orleans and
Aspinwall, instead of the present circuitOus
route by the way of Havana.
The present contract with the United
States Steamship Company provides for a
semi-nOnthly line Of steamers between New
York and New Orleans via Havana; and also
for direct semi-monthly line from Havana
to Aspinuall, running in due connection there
with but no provision is made for direct
line TO Aspinwall, either from New York or
New Orleans, both of which it is highly i'm
Portant should be regularly maintained"

The Portsmouth Pestilenca.

We have been shown a copy of most i'm
pressive sermon, delivered in the Court street
Baptist church, Portsmouth, Va, on Sabbath
morning, December 80, 1885. commemorative
Of tUen;y-eight members Of Old Dominion
Lodge, No. ;, 1. o. o. f., who died during
the late epidemic, by Isaac w. Handy, pastor
OF the First Presbyterian church, and member
of the order" From this sermon we gather
the following interesting facts in relation to
the Introduction Of the fever by the steamer
Ben franklin, and Of its subsequent devasta-
ton: The Ben Franklin arrived at Gosport on
the 18th Of June, where she remained for re-
pairs. This she would not have been allowed
to do had not her history been scrupulously
concealed and the health officer deceived
On the 5Oth of June three persons were sick
near Pages wharf, where the Ben Franklin
was anchored, with what some supposed to be
ysE!Or JereT; but it was not until the 5th of
July mat any ease occurred to awaken public
attention. onthat day man, who had opened
up the hold, was taken sick, and in three days
ne died OF the blaek Uomit This created some
Alarm, and connection being traced between
the disease and the Inflated vessel, she was at
once Ton the stb) sent to quarantine. 1t was
hoped, and by most persons believed, that the
number Of cases would be few, and then con-
hned to GospOrt; many, however, were of
dlrerent opinion, and those of them who
could conveniently do so Immediately fed
ihe reports from day to day showed gradual
increase in the number Of deaths and the
disease creeping slowly but steadily at length
reached the very heart of the city By this
time hundreds Of the citizens had sought
safety In flight, and the population continuing
thus rapidly to decline, by the 6rst week in
September there was probably not more than
S,VOO persons IN the place, numbering both
whites and negroes, and of this number per
hsps not zoo escaped sickness. This was the
heaviest week Of the mortality, during which
1t Is supposed that one hundred and fifty per-
sons we're swept of by the prevailing epidemic
Un The I'd day Of September, which was the
eabbath, thirty-siI persons died during the
t"enty-four hours ending that morning But
from that time the fever gradually abated
until 1t was finally banished by the frst hard
frost on the 10th Of October. 1t is estimat
that at least j, 200 persons died during the
four months Ct the continuance of the fever.
VI this number one hundred and twenty uere
heads Of families, and in forty-six families
Doth father and mother were taken away.
