dent is dissatisfied with the conduct Of the
leading men Of the South, many of whom
he has pardoned
The body of man was found IN the Hud-
son river to-day, supposed at first to be Mr..
King, but it proved to be that OF a German.
The expression gains ground that the body
will not be found.
Preparations for the reception of General
Giant at the Fifth Avenue Hotel, on Mon.
day, are being made, regardless of cost.
The 1ii6ane's Washington special says :
The President has plainly intimated that he
will hereafter show greater discrimination
in granting pardons.
Among the visitors at the White House
yesterday was notorious ex-rebel General,
who insisted on sending up his card, with
the request that the President would imme-
mediately grant him a private interview.
The President returned the card, With a
verbal message that he considered the re-
quest impertinent and could not accede to it.
Among the applications for pardon is
Martin j. Crawford, formerly prominent
member Of Congress, from Georgia; and O.
prominent rebel during the rebellion.
The Wortd's special says there were large
numbers of pardon seekers and other visit
ors at the White House to-day. President
johnson had given orders not to allow them
IN the lobbeys as he wa too much engaged
to see anybody. They contented themselves
with inspecting the East room.
The guard Of soldiers who have been sta
toned around the White House for the last
two years, were yesterday, by order Of Pres
ident johnson, removed.
The Herdld's special says: kilograms
were received last night BY the President
General Fiske and the Freedmen's Bureau,
signed by seven or eight leading influential
men of Tennessee which demonstrate against
the anticipated removal Of the supervising
officer of the above Bureau now on duty in
that State, and the appointment Of a civil
ian of the State instead.

The Cattle Plague.

Minister Clay has addressed letter to the
Secretary ofState, dated st. Petersburg, Oc-
tober H. in which he says: II deem It my
duty to warn the United States against the
importation of the cattle plague into our
country Being farmer and feeling great
interest in such subjects, | have read every
thing upon the subject which is accessible.
and ] viii give you only the result of nv con-
clusions and observations Thecattle plague
is the cattle pest in this country 1t is more
or less prevalent, and generally kills whole
herds; like cholera, it is both contagious and
infectious. By those terms | mean to say it
is communicated from one animal to another
by physical imposition of the virus upon
any animal from any object containing the
virus and also that the virus may be carried
in molecules in the air, and thus produce the
disease. 1t evidently did not originate de
MORO in England, but was carried there by
ship loads ofcattle from Russian Baltic ports
Ii this theory is correct then allimportations
of cattle from abroad should be at once pro-
hibited by Congress, if not otherwise posi-
bic to be prevented and it would pay well to
call Congress together for that purpose only.
No ship having COW or sheep or animal
from Europe or countries having the best

must at some time, having originated from
violent disregard Of natural laws, and this
as others; but / am of the opinion that there
is nothing in the management of cattle in
Great Britain or America to generate the
disease. So also, no sanitary precautions
can arrest it short of absolute non intercourse
believe it TO be species of blody murrain,
aggravated by the marshy nature of Northern
Russia and the utter disregard of all the
laws of health which is shown to man and
beast, especially in regard to ventilation and
cleanliness, which prevails in these cold eli
mates, where great expenditure of heat is
required, and fuel and food scarce. The
same causes are producing now the aggra-
waited typhus fever here which is called out
side of Russia the plague England was
warned long since of the danger of direct in
fectation of cattle from Russia, but failed to
heed the advice. | trust our country may
be more wise and more fortunate. =

The whole number of routes restored Is
24l, comprising Is, 553 miles of service, and
the cost is 1895, 796 less than the contracts
for the same service in existence at the
breaking out of the rebellion. Commenting
on these statistics, the North Ame,Tcqa says
that the whole of that amount was taken
out of the National treasury without any
justification, and through the connivance of
the Southern politicians who controlled Con-
gress and the Administration. The mode
of cheating is thus explained Where a
mail route branched off from main route
of travel the contract was made, not from
the starting point of the branch, but so as
to cover the whole of the main route, which
was paid for thus as many times over as there
were branches starting from it. OF course
the politicians who managed this fraud must
have regularly received their shares of the
plumber. The Postmaster General esti-
mates that the mail service at the South,
as now organized, viii be self supporting.
If the rebels can succeed in prescribing the
circulation of loyal papers again, as they are
now trying to do, and keeping the negroes
and poor whites in the same abjeet ignorance
as before the war, it will be matter of
doubt whether the service can be made to
to pay In view of this, the National gov
ernment clearly has right to protect the
the mails and the rights of the people a.
gainst the pernicious designs of the rebels,
and we presume that Congress win adopt
stern repressiye measures for that purpose,
or else refuse to appropriate money at all
for the Southern Mail service Harrisburg

LANES KNITTING MACHINE. Col.
Lee, of Springfield, Massachusetts, has
upon exhibition at w. Fl. Sinners cor
ner store, one of the most complete knit
tlng machines of lineage. Its simplicity
OF construction, remarkable movement,
and perfect operation, is not only aston
ishing, but very instructive. Just
imagine full length stocking turned
Or IN twenty minutes. The machine
consists of two parallel rows of needles.
so constructed that the stitches can be
taken up, round or flat. The number of
needles in each row are twenty four, but
so arranged as to use only as many as
may be desired. The needles perform
four distinct crochet stitches. it is one
OF the most ingenious machines from
fankeedom that we have ever seen.
Every matron can do her own knitting
now, with little or no exertion, and the
old fashioned needle will be turned over
TO The lord of the family for pipe cleaners.
Those used by Mrs. Partington will be
given to Ike to punch the cat with. Col.
Lee will leave the city tomorrow.
Ladies desiring to see the machine i'm
operation and fully explained, can be
gratilied by calling mt the Corner Store.
and asking to see the Lamb Knitting
Machine. The great beauty of the ma
chine lsiis simplicity, as there is nothing
complicated about it; hence its superior
advantage.
