Gov. Jackson and Gen. Price having
solicited an interview with Gen. Lyon,
the latter agreed to guarantee them
from arrest during their journey to and
from St. Louis. They arrived in that
city on Monday. and an.inteEyiew took
place at the Planters House, in the
presence Of Col. Blair and Maj. Conant.
Jackson and Price insisted that no
Federal troops should pass through. or
be stationed in the STATE. being willing
to stipulate. on their part. that the State
troops should be disbanded. tyam
Gen. Lyon refused his assent to any
such terms. He said if the Govern

measures would be resorted to, in order
TO arm the Secessionists. The PROPOSE

WHAT is THERE TO QUARREL ABoUT.-In view of
the fact that the main point of disagreement between
the North and the South is said to relate to the
territories, and in presence of the recent leg
islation of Congress under this head the Baltimore
american pertiHently asks, what is there left to
quarrel about?" 1t says:
During the session of Congress which has just
closed acts were passed to provide temporary gov
ernments for three Territories to wit Colorado,
NeradG and Dacotdh. The act relating to Colorado
has been published, and it is noticeable fact that
it contains trace indication of the famous Will
mont proviso, any prohibition against the in
PRODUCTION of slavery, but the contrary the sixth
section of the act prescribing the legislative power
of the Territory expressly declares, among other
things, that no law shall be passed impairing the
rights Of private property; nor shall any discrim-
ination be made in taxing different kinds of prop
erty, but all property subject to taxation shall be in
proportion to the value of the property taxed We
presume that the acts relating Nevada and Dacoah
are of similar import Now, when it is considered
that all three of'these Territories are north of the
line of $3.50, and that in the new territory now
owned by the United States south Of tibet line which
is more than twenty times large as the whole State
of Maryland slacery actually erists and Is recog.

be asked, What is there to quarrel aboutr"

No Convention
Convention,

The return from the county of Davie had not been
received, and consequently is not included in the
above. The vote in that county was 263 and 1874
against Convention; this added would increase
the majority against the Convention to 666.
Some of the presses in the State though earnestly
devoted to the preservation of the Union regret this
result; but we inclined to think that the people
have made a proper decision. The policy of the
new Administration is not yet sufficiently developed
to enable Convention to act Understandings; and
to watch and wait" for a while would, in our opn-
ion work no detriment either to the honor or the
interests of the State If the North continues to
fuse proper guarantees for the rights we justly claim,
we can dissolve our connection with them as we'll
six or twelve months hence, at any future time,
as now. Too much haste might involve the State
in large expenditures without securing any of the
advantages for which the South is contending. We
think appearances indicate peaceful termination of
existing difficulties; and we have good hope that no
long time will elapse before shall see returning
that "more perfect unon" which the founders of
the Republic so earnestly abored to accomplish and
all the stars again shining in glorious galaxy.
But the result Of the election for delegates to the
Convention shows a much stronger anti-secession
feeling in the State than is manifested by the vote
on the Convention question. 1t appears as we'll as
can now be ascertained there are eighty Union del
egates elected and forty secessionists-two to one
and this lake to be about the true expression of
the feelings of the people.
The State Journal classes the delegates elected as
46 Southern Rights, % conditional Submissionsts,
and 80 Submissionists. This is mistake; there
are no submissionists, as far as we know, in the
Union party in the sense in which the Journal uses
the word The Union men will be found to be as
jealous supporters of the rights of the South as the
most mpetuous of the fire-eaters, but rational
in their mode of securing them. Hillsborough Re

virtue and judgment for that selEgovernment but

MIAsM AND PUBLIC HEALTH.-An interesting CON-
municaton has recently been addressed to the Acad
omy of Science by NJ. Grimaud dc Caux, who, as our
readers may remember, gave, some months ago,
description Of the system employed at Venice in the
construction of cisterns. In his present paper, NJ.
Grimaud de Caux remarks on the different effects
produced by the emanations of saline and those of
fresh water. Venice for instance, lies we know,
in the midst of salt lagoons, while the surrounding
districts are Nasty through the agency of fresh wa
ter, which the Venetian Republic had, by vast and
costly hydraulic contrivances carefully excluded
from the lagoons Now, although this marshy soil
is constantly immersed in the emanationS from the
lagoons it is fact that the ague very rare NAL
ady at Venice, while it is proverbially endemic IN
the adjoining marshes, and to such an extent that
the custom-house officers stationed at FuSine, some
years ago. were entitled to daily ration of quinne
at the charge of government Hence 1t appears,
that while fresh-waer emanations relax the fbers
of the human body without any other redeeming &C
tion the emanations from salt water, although they
have the same tendency to produce relaxation, yet,
at the same time, are pregnant with corrective
which neutralizes that effect. NJ. Grmaud de Caux
proceeds to examine the Of noXous exhalations
in the dwellings of the humble classes of Paris. In
such dwellings there is generally paved court and
a pump yielding spring water The court, which IS
generally of less than moderate dimensions receives
all the foul waters from the sinks, which is carried
AWAY by the cutters and while the water which
occasionally runs waste from the pump washes both
the court and cutters, it also filters between the
paving stones, carrying with it some of the putrid
particles which it is supposed to wash away. The
consequence is that in the course of a very short
time, all the ground under the pavement becomes
infected; if stone be removed its bed is found to
be black and fetd so that it is not surprising if its
efvia produce the effect the marshes around
Venice. To remedy this, NJ. Grimaud de Caux
commends, among other things, the adoption of
better system of paving and drainage and suggests
bitumen tagging as an admirable material for the
paving Of courts and footwalks Many parts of this
paper we'll deserving the attention Of those to
whom are confided the sanitary interests of New
York, and other baldy-sewered and densely-popula-
ted American cities
