The InteIIigencer ON the Territorial
Question.

The Washington IHteIligencer argues that the
organization of Colorado, Nevada and Dacotah
Territories was effected by Congress upon princi-
pies which if carried out would lead to the speedy
and harmonious settlement of our National diff
culties.-CincinRati Gazette.
These Territories were organized upon the doc
trine of Popular Sovereignty, or non-intervention
by Congress with the question of slavery-no
alIuson having been made in the Territorial bills
as to the principle Of protecting or prohibiting
slavery. Thus Republican Congress has prac-
tically acknowledged the principle laid down in
the Cincinnati platform upon that issue and which
was advocated by Mr. DoUsLAs and his friends as
the true solution of tbs distrlctaig issue between
the North and the South

A BuFFALo HuST.-A large buffalo which has

Of the city, waiting we presume, for the grass to
grow before his owner starts on an exhibiting
tour, yesterday broke from his moorings and
started in the direction of the Union Depot, bel
lowing to the best of his ability. AS he crossed
the common he attracted herd of steers and
cows and they kept at his heels believing also.
1t was exciting scene to see the herd in full
chase, and as they neared the depot the people
fed in terror, tumbling over each other and bel
lowing, some of them, almost as loud as the
frolicksome cattle After frightening the crowds
around the depot, his baffaloship made direct for
Washington street followed by his admiring train,
and by this time his keeper with choice band of
hunters was in hot pursuit. On the crowded bust

DIPTHERIA AN OLD VISITOR IN NEW ENGLAND.
The throat disease now known as diptheria is an
old disease with a new name. The word is from
a Greek word signifying skin, and should be
spelled diphtheria, and not as It usually is, dip
iberia. This disease visited this country as long
ago as 1857, and ragged with great violence. We
find, says the Portland Transcript, in PaTson
Smiths Journal, frequent notices of its ravages
in this region. Under date of October 81, 1877 +,
he says fast was held on account OF this throat
distemper. 1t was epidemic; and commencing at
Kingston, New Hampshire, spread through New
Hampshire and Massachusetts, and was two years
in reaching the Hudson River. In New Hamp
shire not less than one thousand persons fell vic
Tins to this malignant distemper and in Boston
four thousand persons had the disease, and one
hundred and fourteen died. In May, 1887, Par
son Smith mentions that seventy five had died of
it in this town. Under date of October -, 1857,
he says: 1.-THE distenper is still bad at Scar
borough. Not one has lived that has had it of
late" 1t was the most fatal scourge that ever
visited New England, and rapidly hurried its sub
jects to the grave; the throat swelled, became
covered with ash-colored specks, great debility
and prostration ensued, with putrefaction. Under
the improved methods of treatment of the present
day, il is less fatal.

Observation-Disclosures of religion have been in
progress in many parts of the State and country
during the present winter and hundreds of per-
sons have connected themselves with the various
churches. Among the places in this State where
the spirit of revival has gained Roadway are
Evansville, Princeton, Terre Haute, Vincennes,
Fort WAYNE, Madison and our own city. We
believe the protracted meetings have closed in
this city with two OF three exceptions. Meetings
are still held at Wesley Chapel (Methodist) every
night, with good deal of interest and success.
Large congregations assemble nightly at the
Christian Church, and good work is being done.
Already about twenty have connected themselves
with that church, and number of baptisms have
been made. Quarterly meeting commenced at
the United Brethren Church on Saturday, and The
religious feeling there is in the ascendency. We
understand from member of one of the Method
list churches, that during this winter about
twenty accessions have been made TO the Cen
tenary, forty to the Wesley Chapel, John Street
ten, Roberts Chapel twelve TO fifteen. num-
Der of persons have joined the Universalst church
since their new building has been erected and
completed, and quite a large congregation attends
e meetings held there--NeD Albany Ledger.
