DEATH OF THE BRITISH PREMIER

The death of Lord Palmerston raises some
soiicitude in this country, as to his probable
successor at the head of the British Govern
ment, In view OF the change in our relations
with that country possible by the event. When

that Earl Russell would succeed PaImerston,

THE CATTLE PLAGUE.

The United States Consul at Manchester.
England, writing TO the State Department
under date of October 18th, reports that as yet
there is no abatement OF the great plague among
cattle that has for some weeks past created
such alarm In England. The disease threatens
10 extend to all the agricultural districts in the
British Islands. The plague is mainly con-
fined to horned cattle, but has in a few in
stances broken out with great violence in ffocks
OF sheep There is great danger that the dis
ease may be transmitted to America, and il is
suggested TO prohibit the importation Of foreign
Stock as long as the danger exists. In England
prayer is now made to Almighty God at morn
ing and evening service, in all the churches
for the stay of this pestilence.

TO GO OR NOT TO GO.

The PRONUNCIATION Of the order mastering out
such of the Veteran Reserve Corps as wish to
leave the service, leaves in the hands of at least
Blk thousand men the decision Of their own
fates at q most critical season Of a very critical
year, II the whole or even the majority of
these men go out they are so much more labor
thrown in the general market Just when the
market for labor is at the lowest Let it be re-
membered also that they leave with little If
anything more than four months pay. that Is
sixty-four dollars, minus their suffers bills
and other Indebtedness, which would leave
each man, in the month Of November, about
forty dollars in vest in a suit Of winter CLOTH
ing, and to pay board and lodging till he can
get employment. How long can he wait for
labor on that capital after he has paid for the
clothes at present prices At first view moth
ing would seem fairer OF more generous than
the leaving to these veterans, of our hardest
campaigns, the choice of going or staying; but
AL who have any intimate acquaintance with
The habits inculcated by military discipline,
know that with the soldier as with the sailor,
immediate relief offers a temptation generally
400 strong for prudence and the restraints OF
common sense. There can be little doubt that
many Of the Corps will go out to spend their
forty dollars, and then grin and bear the vi
cissituoes of hard winter as best they may.
There is another phase Of the subject which
suggests question. Will the men who leave
the corps on this order receive the bounty &C.
corded by Congressl Are the men of the corps
entitled to that bountyl Unless a positive
Congressional enactment be set aside there
seems little doubt that the men of this corps
are entitled to the si02 government bounty,
and in all probability that bounty will be paid
40 such men as may be in the corps when the
question is finally settled. On the one hand
then this order amounts to a choice between
immediate liberty to face the rigors of winter
on forty dollars capital and TO remain in good
quarters for the same winter with a certainty
of the same pay and a probability of a four
hundred dollar bounty.
As to the military expediency of the order,
Nat Is best decided by the proper authorities.
We are simply looking at the matter from the
standpoint of social economy, and viewed
from that point it does appear to us that since
some troops must be kept to do the duty this
corps is now doing, it would be far better for
their own comfort and safety to remain and do
II themselves.
