Il appears that the epidemic which recently
prevailed at the Washington Asylum, said to
be- a malignant type Of the typhus fever, y
originating in great measure from the over
crowded condition of the institution, has again
broken out among the inmates and at present
quite number are down with it. The au-
thorities are busily engaged in taking meas
ures to prevent its increase and many of the
inmates are being removed from the building
to tents loaned by the Government and erect
ed on the grounds for theirshelter, while the
building is subjected to purifying process. 1t
is to be hoped that by til meauS being used,
further ravages of the disease may be stayed.
One of the last victims is Mr.. Josias Adams,
who has been for number Of years the lnten-
daut. He died after an illness of about two
weeks.
The Washington Star says 1.-THE Govern
ment has received adyces from Richmond,
Va, stating that the negroes of that city and
of the surrounding country, are contemplating
the project of having some public celebration
on the Lnlrd cay OF Aplii next, JIG ahnl'eisa-
~ of the fall Of Richmond. General Terry,
commanding the Department, advised aud
warned the colored people not to attempt So
imprudent demonstration; but it appears
. that the movers 10 the affair are still engaged
in~perfectiug the arrangements. 1t is needless
to say that any such demonstration by the nc
groes will no. be permitted by the Government
authorities, and measures have already been
taken to prevent auo celebration Of a public
character.

From New York.

New YORK, June 26.-The morning
papers contain the following special dis
patches from Washington:
Governors Swan, Cox and Morton are
understood 10 be in no haste in conven-
ing their respective Legislatures to act
on constitutional amendments, and 10
have signifed the same to the President.
Tennessee men now here doubt
whether Gov. Brownlow can get quo
rum together in any reasonable length
Of time
Gen Howard, Of the Freedmen's Blu
reau, has Just received a report from
Captain s ~ Clark, an inspector OF the
bureau, Of its operation in 81. Mary
and Calvert counties, Maryland Capt.
Clark reports matters in very unsettled
condition. The most encouraging fea-
ture is the fact that a considerable num-
Der Of colored people residing in the
above named counties; are owners and
lessees Of lands. The wages paid la
borers are for women, FIVE dollars per
month; for men, eighteen dollars, and
twelve dollars with rations and quarters
Notwithstanding the negroes work well,
vet bad feeling still exists between the
two races. Neschools for freedmen have
yet been established, the white citizens
being unwilling 20 conntenance them.
The most general complaint among the
freed people is concerning the loose
manner in which their children are
bound out Over FIVE hundred children
have been apprenticed since last Novem-
Der, and some planters have as many as
ten children bound TO them. A Mrs, X.
ID. Sollars, living in Calvert county, has
three children bound to her, one Of whom
she hires out TO doctor, receiving com
pensation for its services
The provisions Of the Civil Rights ball
are entirely disregarded Judge VIM. II
Tuck, at the May term Of the Criminal
Court Of Calvert county, sentenced four
men to be sold into slavery for periods
ranging from six 20 eighteen months.
The offense Of which these freedmen
we're guilty was petty larceny.

REPUBLICAN HARMONY .

The Albany Argus says THAD. SIS
VEINS declared, while he was applying the
lash to his followers, whO eurled under
his dictation like whipped spaniels, that
the clause disfranchising rebels until
1870, was the vital point to the whole
proposition, and that without it he would
not give the snap of his finger for it
The proposition has gone before the Sen
ate, and this vital point has been
stricken out by unanimous vote. This
shows that the party has no principle,
no fixed purpose or rule Of action. The
whole machinery Of the Government is
sought to be used to perpetuate a party.
The interests Of the country are lost sight
Of in their effort to power. What one
considers as vital, the other repudiates

"A literal compliance with the orders
of this military department for the year
1862, would have caused a series of mill
tary executions, before which this oue
would have faded into insignihcance.
Why does not some one call upon this
monster TO produce the military orders

discriminate butehery, as is TO be in
ferred from this language, why have they
been allowed to sleep in bloody oblivion

Memphis riots, made by Col Johnson,
Inspector General of the Department Of
Kentucky, and Maj. Gilbraith, aid to
Gen. Howard and Assistant Commits
sioner Of the Freedmen's Bureau, has
been made public. They say that the
remote cause Of the riots was the i'll
feeling existing between the low whites
and blacks, both of whom are equal in
intelligence, being as degraded as hu-
man beings can be, and each rival claims
superiority over the other
The direct cause was q collision be-
tween the police aud the discharged col
ored soldiers. The civil authorities took
no official action in the matter what
ever The City Recorder made a speech
to the mob, urging them TO kill the en-
tire negro race, and burn up the cradle.
The quarters of Gen Runkle were also
threatened with destruction Three
negro churches, eight school.houses, FIVE
of which belonged to the United States,
and about fifty private dwellings, occu-
pied exclusively by negroes, were burned
The loss to the Government and to the
negroes will foot up to sos, 800, and prob
ably much higher.

PRIVATE ROADS UNCONSTITUTIONAL

The Supreme Court of the State OF
Illinois. in the case OF NEsBIT VS.. TRun'

authorize the taking of private property
except for public use. The decision will.

Seward, Napoleon and Maximilian--A Bit
of Bosh-Santa Anna to be Watched.

NRw York, June 26.--The Herald $
Washington special says 1t is stated by
prominent Senators in Washington that
Mr.. Seward has concluded a secret treaty
with Napoleon by which the United
States is debarred from interfering with
the movement of the foreign troops now
supporting Macmillan. After the with
drawal of the French Macmillan, IT IS
understood, will offer himself as a candi-
date for the Presidency of the Mexican
Republic. ra .aeii
Having secured that position, he is to
take advantage of any small revolution
of which Mexico affords SO many, and
declare himself Emperor, thereby flank
ing the Monroe doctrine, and having a
firmer Imperial throne than at present
1t is probable the Senatk will solicit in
formation from Mr. Seward concerning
this little game.
The same special also says dispatch
from General Sheridan to General Grant
states that nine-tenths of the Mexican
people are opposed TO the longer reign Of
Macmillan, and that when the French,
Austrian and Belgian troops are with
drawn he will have no supporters in
all Mexico The dispatch further states
that Santa Anna is understood to
be here in the interests of both the Maxi
milan and the Church party and should
be closely watched by the United States
authorities. 20 ansd nA8K "a
