n isAesideut that this appropriation is but a
drop IN the bucket to what will be required to
e~xtefEainate the disease.
H they stop here, the money already spent
will avail nothing. 1t appears by the testi-
monyaof stock owners, that the disease is as
contagious as smallpox. When the cattle are
turned out to pasture, as they must be very

This difficulty will put a damper on the
State Fair at Springfield next fall. People
say they would not let their cattle go there at
any price. Buyers at Brighton are very sus
picious of beef from this locality. II is
thought that the process of determination viii
occupy the summer months. A report was
tn circulation this morning that one of the
commissioners had resigned, and a second
thought seriously of doing the same thing.
The Traveller states that the Governor and
the Commissioners had held 8 meeting at the
State House, and had discussed the expedien-
sy Of calling an extra session of the Legisla
ture. Il was finally decided that a medical
board of the most experienced veterinary sur
geona should be employed to make further in
vestigation. and the killing of cattle be sus
pended until the result of their observation
are known.

Legislation in Congress.

Congress has been making up for the time
lost in e~ffecting an organization, by its unusual
industry and promptness in the work OF tegisia-
ton. 1t has reported out Of committees and
passed more bills than any previous House IN
the same length of time. Many of these are OF
a very important character. Three OF the ap-
preparation bills have already passed, and all
the others have been reported by Mr.. Sherman,
from the committee of Ways and Means, IN
Guiding bills for legislative, judicial, and execu-
tive expenses for the naval service ; for sun
dry civil expenses of the government for the
Post Office Department, for the years 1860 and
1861 and for consular and diplomatic eXpen-
ses. The Pacific Railroad bill prepared by
Col. Curtis, and reported some two weeks ago,
and Mr.. Morrill's Tariff bill, are ready for the
final action Of the House. The tariff bill has
been amended by a provision for the payment
of outstanding treasury notes, in part by aper-
manent loan of twenty-one million OF dollars.
Mr.. Grows homestead bill is to be consid-
cred in the Senate one week from next Thurs
day, when a vote will be had upon it. 1t is
stated that Mr.. Grow will shortly introduce
bills for the organization of the Territories Of
Dacotah, Pixies Peak, Arizona and Nevada.
OF private bills, there are three hundred and
twenty-six on the calender a large portion Of
which will be crowded off by the pressure of
important bills of a general character. The
business of Congress viii not be materially re-
tarded by the Conventions although there
may be a few days in which there will not be a
quorum. Members are availing themselves of
the stagnation in legislative bushes, to deliver
themselves of speeches on general political top
les, for publication and home circulation and
as the delivery of these speeches has become
one of the chronic necessities Of Congress, thu
present is a good opportunity to get them of,
so that when the members are again ready for
work there will be no delay from this cause
From present indications, an adjournment early
in June may be expected.-Stuts Journal.

UTAH, March 81.
Some time ago Heber Kimball was lectur-
ing some missionaries who were preparing to
start out on foreign missions, III the Taberna-
Gle, and said to them Brethren, l want you
to understand that it is not to be as it has
been heretofore. The brother Missionaries
have been in the habit of picking out the
~prettiest women for themselves before they
get here, and bringing on the ugly ones for
us hereafter you have to bring them all here
before taking any OF them, and let US have a
fair shake" The old reprobate then had at
least a score of women whom he called wives.
History shows that %polygamy has never ex-
listed in any community for fifty years without
women becoming an article of merchandise
The traffic has already commenced in Utah
l will mention one Of the several instances
brought to my notice. At Ogden City, about
ninety miles north of this place, in July, 1858,
a young English woman was sold to a man for
a wagon load of pumpkins, the pumpkins to
be paid at pumpkin time. When payday
came the fellow took the woman back, and
said he didn't want her. Of course the par
ties rued bargains and quit. This story may
seem very ridiculous, but it was told to me,
and its truth vouched for, by a lady who was
sold, and she has been intimately acquainted
with her ever since her arrival in this Terrific
ry. l have no reason to doubt its truth, and
give it to the world as illustrative of the esti-
nation in which women are Eeld by the Nor
mons.

CHARLESTON, Midnight, April 24-Tbe
Douglas managers express a willingness that
the Cotton States should recede, regard
ing such a movement as quickening the
chances for two thirds, but do not estimate its
effect on the remaining southern States. The
result now depends greatly IN the shape the
platform may assume.
The Douglas men claim an accession OF
more than twenty votes, by the rule allowing
delegates to vote Individually in delegations
which have not been instructed to vote as a
unit. He will gain eight or ten in PenHsyl
vania, and If New York should unite, as ex-
pected, he would have more than a majority or
| the first ballot.
It is said that if Mr.. Douglas be nominated
he viii come here TO address a ratification
meeting.
P. S.-Tbe Committee on the Platform
have just adjourned after a six hours session
They had an exciting discussion. One test
vote was taken on the Cincinnati Platform,
pure and simple, which was rejected-7 nays
to I6 ayes.
Mr.. Stephens then moved to incorporate
with it the principles of the Dred Scott de-
cision, which is still pending. 1t is believed
that it will be adopted tomorrow, and be re-
ported TO the convention as a basis settlement,
/, A. M.-The more conservative portion of
the South have conferred with the Cotton
States. and persuaded them to remain in the
convention util after the nomination, with a
view of controlling it if possible.
The present belief is that there will be no
vote till then, as Alabama instructions fix no
point of time for a secession. 1t is not inn
probable that a contingency may occur, in
which John Cochrane and others in the New
York delegation, may go with the seeding
South, if the platform be unaceeptionable
looking to an ultimate fusion Of the Wood In
terest in the State OF New York. He will
vote for Douglas unless sudden reaction oc-
ours, and his friends claim 152 on the first
ballot, that included.

The Charleston Convention has been in full
blast since Monday last. We have advices up
to Wednesday evening. at which time nj bal
lot had taken place. The city dailics have
contained columns upon columns of dispatches
and correspondence, which are as conflicting
in their statements as were the speculations of
the friends Of the several aspiraRts in advance
of the meeting of the Convention, and leave
the result in as much doubt as it vas a week
or a month since. The friends of Douglas
remained confident of his success, while his OPP
poncnts scout at the idea of his receiving the
nomination, and ayow their determination to
reppdiate him if nominated. There are plots
and counterplets, and combinations Of all
kinds charged and limited at. The atmosphere
is hot, bat the political thermometer indicates
still greater heat in the breasts of the politi,
clans, while neither approaches in intensity
the hatred of Douglas manifested by the dele
gates from the Gulf States, whe threaten Sc
eession if he is nominated or a platform to suit
their views is net adopted. An open rupture
and grand explosion seems highly probable.
CALEB CUSHING, of Mass. is President Of
the Convention, which is regarded as an anti
Douglas triumph but the settlement of the
cases of contested delegations and various pre-
liminary votes, indicate that bis friends art
the strongest party in the Convention.
We subjoin a few of the latest dispatches
and if any decisive intelligence is received be
fore going to press will announce it:

He had some $4,000 in his room, the greater

THE RIVER AND THE IsLANp.

A wonderful stream is the river Time.
As Il runs through the realm Of tears, 4
With faultess rythm and musical rhyme,
And a broader sweep and surge sublime,
And blends with the Ocean Of Years.
How the winters are drifting like fakes Of snow
And the summers, like buds between,
And the year In the sheafso they come and they 80,
On the rivers breast, with its ebb and flow,
AZ 1t glides In the shadow and sheen.
There is musical isle up this river Time,
Where the softest Of airs are playing
There is . cloudless sky and o tropical CLINE,
And q song as sweet as q vesper chime,
And June with the roses Is staying.
And the name OF this isle is the Long Ago,
And we bury our treasures there;
There are brows OF beauty and bosoms OF snow
There are heaps Of dust and we love them So
There are trinkets and tresses Of hair.
There is a fragment Of song that nobody sings,
And part Of an infants prayer;
There Is harp unswept, and Lutte without strings
There are broken vows and pieces Of rings,
And the garments she used to wear.
There are hands that are waved when the fairy shore
By mirage is lifted in air;
And we sometimes hear through the turbulent roar,
Sweet voices we heard In the days gone before,
When the wind down the river is fair.
Oh, remembered for aye be that blessed isle,
All the day Of life till nightL
And when evening comes with its beautiful smile,
And our eyes to slumber are closing the while,
May that Greenwood Of soul be In sight
