A SENSATION STORY SPOILED.-A story
is going the rounds OF the press 10 the eff
feet that President JOhnson's brother, who was
recently accidentally wounded at Velasco, Tex
as, died from the effects thereof, because
the ''rebe" physicians refused TO attend him.
The story further says, the sons ofthc deceased
are responsible for the statement, and that they
had to send to Columbia, one hundred miles
distant, for federal surgeon TO attend their
father, the delay causing his death. A cores
pondent of the New York Times thus dispOSes
of this sensation story:
"The sons of Mr.. Wm. n. Johnson were not
in Texas at the time OF the death of their ia
ther, and are doing injustice to his memory, rs
well rs to the medical faculty of BrazOria cOun-
tv, by sanctiOning sensation article (of similar
import) which appeared several days since.
There was not at the time of the accident, nor
has there ever been, areSident physician i'll We
lasco. The place is not large enough TO sustain
one. The remarks, therefore, attributed to the
medical faculty OF YelascO are manufactured
for a sensational purpose, for they are utterly
untrue. The distance from IelaSco to Colum-
bia is but 2S instead of 100 miles, at which place
there were three physicians, and all the polltl-
cal friends of President Johnson. Drs. Morris
and Anthony could not leave their patients, 1t
being sickly period the other amputated
Mr.. Johnson'S arm, after which he lived about
ten days, hut being an old, feeble man, sank
under the shock. The writer was in Columbia
at the time Of the death of NJ. Johnson, and
there was every mark of respect shown him by
the people attending his funeral.

CATTLE PLAGUB.-InC department oil state
at Washington, has received adviceE from our
Consul at Liverpool, to the effect that the cat
tle plague is still on the increase, both in Eng
land and Scotland. During the week ending
December 10th tho number Of cases reported
to him was between seven and eight thousand.
The disease is most alarming, and is causing
the greatest anxiety and mcaSimeSs throughout
the cutre Kingdom. The Consul also states
that somo writer's contend that it is a kind Of
smallpox, but from his own reading, and from
conversations among the people, he is inclined
to believe that the malady is not well defined,
and as yet no certain or fixed remedy for its
cure has been discovered.
WASHINGTON CITY AND NEGRO SUFFAGE.-At
the recent election held in Washington City to
ascertain the sense of the citizens upon the
question of extending the elective franchise to
the negroes, the vote stood six thousand six
hundred and some odd nays to thirty five yeas.
The force of this vote is attempted to be broken
by the allegation that the friends of negro sut-
| irage determined not to vote, and staid from
the polls. Ii is shown, on the other hand, that
the vote cast at this election is the largest VOTE
except twO ever east i'll the city of Washing
| ton, and is but little exceeded by those two.
The design of this election was to impress the
contemplated legislation Of Congress ON tho
subject of negro suffrage in that city. This de
sign appears to have failed. While the subject
has not yet been acted upon by Congress, it has
been the theme of action in Republican eau
Gus, held on the night of the 10th Instant. 1t
! is said that the caucus agreed, by a two-thirds
vote, to support the bill now pending, with the
notifications proposed by Judge Hale, of New
| York, viz: that only those colored hen shall
vote who can read the Constitution Ofthe United
States, and those who have served in the army.
II was claimed that this was common ground
for compromise, and would preserve harmony
| in the party. TuADDEUS STEVENS is reported
to have become quite indignant at this, and to
have insisted upon universal suffrage or nothing.
The agreement in behalf of qualified over uni
versal suffrage is claimed as something Of L tri-
umph by tho conservative Republicans. 1t is
worthy of note that this subject was conSid-
| cred and discussed in the House of Represen-
tatives on Wednesday, the 10th instant. Three
speeches wero made in favor, and one against
it, Tho galleries wore crowded, and warm
interest was ovinced by all present. One of
the speakers, Judge KELLY, of Philadelphia,
stated that he had been informed by the Pres-
dent that he favored impartial suffrage in this
District" Tho statement is contradicted.

What do they Wish2

The country is ringing Says the New
York Journal Of Commerce) with the dis
putes of politicians in Washington. What
do they wish? Taking Mr.. STEVENS of
Pennsylvania as the exponent of the party
he leads, Swhat is II that he wishes? The
Union Not at all. lie can have that any
day. 1t is only to say the word and the
last memory Of the war will vanish in the
atmosphere Of peace and perfect union
What then? Powerp Nothing else. The
simple solution Of all anxious caucusing OF
the radical party is found in their desire to
preserve power in their own hands. The
evidence is in their acts. What is their
present emotion what the present subject
of their most earnest deliberations? How
to prevent the President from making ap-
pointments to Office of men not belonging
to the radical party. What subject occu-
pies nine-tenths of the time Of the majority
in Congress. What is the burden of the
amendments to the Constitution which they
proposed. Nothing but the preservation OF
power in their own hands, and the prevent
ing of opposition votes, either now or in
the next Presidential election, Ii What a
blessed calm the people would have If these
factionists were only removed from power!
