SMALL Pox.-An item in the local col
umn Of yesterdays Transcript, designed,
probably, to keep down excitement in re-
gard to the small pox, makes the following
very strange assertions:
In the first place the disease is not conta-
gious; in the second place there has not been a
single case Of real small pox here, the disease
having occurred only in the milder form Of va
rioloid.
1t is hardly necessary to contradict the
assertion, that the small pox is not conta-
gious. II there is a disease in the whole
catalogue that flesh |, heir to, which is
communicated from one person to another,
1t is the small pox; and the milder form OF
the disease, known as varioloid, Is just as
contagious as the more aggravated cases.
No less than four cases of the disease have
occurred in town, originating with the col
ored girl brought up from Marysville. The
little daughter of Mrs. COutad undoubtedly
took it from the colored girl, and had what
is known among physicians as the "cOnfu-
ent" snail pox-being the most aggrava.
ted form of the disease. The other two
cases are those of Paul Coutad and Mr.. HOr-
witz; the former probably had only the
variooid, and is now said to be nearly
we'll. We mention these facts, not to cre-
ate alarm, but that people coming into
town from a distance may be on their
guard.

The resolution offered by Mr. Starke Of Ore

be referred to the judiciary Committee, was Ia

Mr. Hale thought the question was already
settled and hoped the Senate would spend no
more time on IT,
Mr.. Starke said he had offered the resolution
in order to show that he had no indsposition To
meet the charge of disloyalty any where when he
had no intention OF being his own prosecutor.
Mr. Hale merely wished to reply 20 the state

The Monitor cost less then $3.50 900. and was
contracted to be finished in ninety days.

that during the fight the men on board of the
Cumberland made three unsuccessful attempts
to board the Merrmac. He says it can not be
done.

The Washington Star thinks that before the
Merrmac can be repaired and fitted for another
test of strength, we shall have two more iron

Monitor In case OF necessity.

the Monitor and Merrimac: The inside lite in
