THE CATTLE PLAGUE IN GREAT i.ra2 s' BRITAIN. "a sa f71ff -,
MONTHLY REPORT OF DEPARTMENT OF AaRIcuL rfa3t TURF FOR OCTOBER.

The most interesting subject treated of in this number is the Cattle Disease in Britain. The incest care and attention seem unavailing to prevent the ravages of the disease. A wri- ter speaking of the herds of Miss Coats and Lord Granville, says that, They abode in all vaccine luxury and comfort, being of the high ly privileged class, yet the disease defied all curative treatment amongst them, although at- tended by vetrinary surgeons q"
 France, by an imperial decree prohibits the introduction of all cattle, their skins or other fresh portions from England, Holland, or Bel giunl, while the importation of cattle from oth- CT places IS only allowed at certain ports and under severe restrictions. -... .@ e Ireland, being as yet free from the disease the English Privy Council prohibited by an act dated Aug. 25tb, 1865, their importation into Ireland from Great Britain of any COW, heifer bull, buttock or calf.' Since that date, becom ing aware that the disease may be communities ted by other means, they have added to the prohibited list 'any skins, hides, horns, hoofs or other parts of the above named animals
 More recently it is discovered that sheep are capable of taking the disease, and of communi eating it in turn again to cattle. Seven Aun dred sheep are reported to have died from one flock, owned by a Mir. Harvey member. of Par liament. .... .-
 Prof. simond's Report, establishing the fact that sheep were also affected, was promptly acted on by the government, and all animals including sheep. lambs goats and swine,' were included in the prohibition. .. '.
 We agree fully with the Report of the Az ricultural Department, that it is matter oi the greatest importance, not only to English men but to Americana Let the cattle ans sheep growers of this country look we'll to thei situation, and remember the old adage tha an ounce of prevention is worth pound o cure.'

VIII they be Punished.

The opinion scems'.to bo growing
that, if tried by civil courts, none of
tho rebels will be hung for treason
1t would be impossible TO find twelve
men in the United States who bad not
expressed an opinion as TO the guilt or
innocence of jeff Davis, so that a jury
could never be obtained. We suppose
that if the leading rebels are to be
tried by civil courts every traitor Of
them will escape punishment. But
there are many ways of killing dog.
There is evidence at Washington i'm
pllcaiing Jeff Davis in tho inception
and execution OF the plot to II sassin-
atc President Lincoln and upon this
and the recommendation of the Judge
Advocate General, President Johnson
has offered reward of 500, 900 for the
arrest of the distinguished rebel and
might've. Othcr and less rewards arc
offered for the arrest Of five other lead
ing rebels, who "incitcd, concerted and
procured ' the assassination.
We notice further that indictments
have been found in Pennsylvania
AGAINST certain rebel officers who ac
companicd Leo 10 Gettysburg, for
murder and arson. Also that the rcb-
cl Exchange Commissioners Ould and
Hatch have been arrested for misap
propriaIing supplies and money sent
to our prisoners. ....
There is hope that in some way
these men will receive justice. Hun,
drcds Of them havo been guilty OF
murder, arson and robbery, and might
be tried upon any Or all Of these char
gcs. Every rebel officer who had con

il the leading rebels can be tried

we believe that in some shape justice

Since the South is whipped and it is
impossible to deny it, tho leading rcb
els arc trying soft soap upon us hycnas
rs they called u.s. Nevertheless, in all
they say, wo notice tho old insolencc
anC arrogance breaking out. Gcncr.
al Lee spys that tho war was to settle
the State Sovereignty question, and il
has been settled against them; that
jeff Davis is no moro to blanc than
any other rebel, and that the Govern.
mcnt should forgive tho rebels, or they
wi continue the war. Ilo talks OF re
bcllion rs though it were Il very slight
mistake which they made, and which
ought not to oifcnd any body very
much. They havo tho ciTrontcry to
thinl; that they should be allowed to
return with all their former rights and
irancli cs, and nave the old con.idcra'
ton shown them. General EwcIl has

This will do TO beg oil with. But the
fact H. that the Southern people did
advise tho assassination OF Lincoln
that before his first inauguration it wa,
boldly talk I'd Of in public speeches, in
newspapers, aud in public and private
conversation, and that tho plot wa,
laid to assasSnato him on his way to

pic is not so bad that they have for.
gotten this in four years. The thing
has been threatened and talked of dur.
ing the whole war, not only by rebels
but by Northern Coppcrhcads, and it
is u little surprising that the people
wcro SO much astoundcd at the deed
as they were. AT II meeting OF South
crn men held in Memphis, on the Is,
instant, the following resolution was
adopted;
"hcsolrd, That tho United States
ought to bc M mNgnanimous to forgive

calculated to battle impertinent curl

ground close to the penitentiary, where
for some years folons haze been buried.
Booths body was deposited here, and
the earth over it was smoothcd and
carefully sodded over. Other graves,

pg-Wo have received a communi.

B4- We have received communi-
cation from Judge Van Trump in rela-
tion to the late proceedings against
him before tho Ohio Legislature, but
from its length and tho lateness Of the
hourat which it was received, we arc
Obliged TO postpone the publication
until next week. Tho people arc
looking anxiouSly for this document,
and we have no doubt it will be read
with interest. 1t belongs to the his
tory of the times, and is another in
stance in the long catalogue of pcrse-
cutions for opinions sake.-Edgle.
There is a cool impudence in the
above which reminds us forcibly of
the Southern rebels. They seeded,
organized Government, raised an
army and went TO war, and all the timo
had the cffrontcry to charge us with
making war upon them. The meaning
Of the above is that the Ohio Lcgisla-
ture prosecuted Judge Van Trump for
opinions Sake, when the fact is, that "a
political friend Of Judge i an Trump,
and ono who has always voted with
and worked for the party, and who
made ShisIcr Sheriff of the county,
had a complaint presented to the Leg
islaturc, charging the Judge with Sc
crctIy consulting with fugitive from
| Justice, and with conduct and language
unbccoming II Judge The Eagle calls
this persecution for opinions sake
II cannot mean that the complainant
prosecuted the Judge for opinion S
sake, for they agree in their opinions,
1t means, Of course, that the Ohio
Legislature did the prosecuting. There
is a coolncss and impudencc in this
which would bo sublime if it were not
ridiculors.
We fail to see the persecution, The
complainant, Charles Miller, sworo to
the main statements of the complaint,
but Samuel Iantz very conveniently
couldn't remember anything about is.
His mepory stuck until ho reached
tho corroboraling point, and then, oh
base troacliory! left him suddenly.
The report Of the Legislative Com
miltcc stated in effect, that so fdr as
they hdi 92aG, there was not sufficient
in the evidence 10 justify The removal
ofJudgc Van Trump. ~
We are rather sorry that tic case
did not 80 further, If Van Trump is
innocent, we should like to have his
innocence established and if guilty
he should be punished. Mr.. Miller is
not TO be condemned by those for
whom he has worked in the party, as
guilty Of false swearing. lIc has had
the honesty to dcnouncc several of the
Judges decisions as partisan, and wo
do not like to have him chokcd off with
out further hearing. ... .
