The Cattle Plague.

This fearful pestileuce is still on the in
crease, and the leading agricultural So
%cieties and writers are urging the gov
eminent to put an immediate stop to all
fairs and markets-thus, as we understand
it, prohibiting in effect all sales except
those for prompt slaughter by the butch
ers. If this is not done, the council Of
the Royal Society urges that all cattle and
sheep and pigs brought to any market or
fair be forthwith branded and not allowed
to leave the town alive; that all coming
in from aboard be slaughtered on arrival;
that none be allowed to leave any farm
or place in which there has been a case of
the plague within two months; that all Of
Tered for sale except on the premises of the
owner, or in any place where they have
not been owned for period of at least 81
days be branded and slaughtered within
As hours; that these regulations should be
enforced by heavy penalties, and that gov
eminent institute experiments on a large
scale "to ascertain the real character 0 fthe
plague, and to test the various methods of
presentation and cure-Eaglsh Paper.

The Fenians.

The Fenian Brotherhood have at last
settled their difficulties; or rather they
have demonstrated which is the stronger
party. It seems their organization is
somewhat similar to the U. S. Govern.
ment, consisting of a President or Head
Center, a Senate and a Council. The
foundation of the difficulty appears to
have been the determination of the Sem
ate to make the fight for the freedom Of
ireland in Canada; while the Head Center,
Mr.. John 0'Mahony, was equally deter.
mined that the American Fenians should
&c to the assistance of their brothers in
Ireland. A violent quarrel arose, each
party charging the other with being trait
ors bribed with British gold. The Sen
ate, however, got before the public first
with their charges of treason and corrup-
ton, aud the tide was setting in against
0'Mahoncy.
But 0'Mahoney was not SO easily to be
put down, He called a Congress or Con-
v%ontion, a Committee appointed, the char
ges thoroughly examined, and he was tri-
umphantly sustained. The Convention
was very large, representing nearly every
State In the Union; great excitement pre-
vailed. The f%actious Senators were voted
traitors, and denounced in the s%everest
terms at the command of euraged Irish.
men. Nearly all who followed the Sen.
ate have returned to their allegiance to
O'Mahony, and the order may be regard
ed as quite as strong as ever.
The Convention expressed a firm con-
viction that Ireland will be free in a very
short time, perhaps within g few months
But England is vigorously Tightening hel
grasp, and it is hard for those not so en-.
thusiastic as the Fenians to see their sue.

Twenty-Five Thousand Dollars TO
Mrs. Lincoln.

Congress has appropriated $4,000 to
Mrs. Lincoln,as due for one years salary
of the late President. The amount is OF
slight consideration. The principle in
volved is an important one. President
johnson will receive his salary. The
country consequently pays two salaries
for the performance Of the duties of a
single Office, and when these are perform
ed by a single person, however willing the
people may be to contribute toward plac-
ing Mrs. Lincoln in comfortable circum.
stances, the right Of Congress thus to levy
on them for that purpose is atleast doubt.
ful.-Ecchange.
What right has Congress to make Mrs
Lincoln a present of $50, 900 of the PEG.
pies money? Their plea is to place her
in comfortable circumstances. President
Lincoln's estate is worth $50, 900. He
left but two sons, both young men, and
they with their mother, inherit this $780,
900. Now, we would like to know how
much more it would take to make Mrs
Lincoln comfortable. Probably this S25.

~istrate of this nation fell by the hands O
an assassin; but thousands of better mer
than Abraham Lincoln were slain in the
four years of war Just ended, whose wives
and children to-day are in the most abjec
poverty, suffering for the necessaries o
life, and they receive the pitiful sum o
eight dollars per month, or miaety-sir dol
lars a year.

Statements verified.

During the recent State canvass the
Democrats charged upon the Abolition
lists that they were in favor of negro suf-
frage both in Ohio and in the South. In
Northern Ohio, they acknowledged that
it was the real issue, but in Southern
Ohio, they pretended to scorn the idea.
But the charges have been verified by
the action of leading Republican mem
bers of the Ohio Legislature. In both
branches resolutions providing for strik-
ing the word white out of the Consti-
tuition of the State have been presented
and will be adopted unless they are fright
ened out of it by fears in regard to its
effect on the next Congressional election.
The party is committed to negro suffrage,
and it is only a matter of time when it
will thrust it upon the people, unless the
Democratic party get possession of'the
reins of Government, and save it from the
disgrace contemplated.-GhH. 4dU.

Equalizing Bounties.

It is somewhat doubtful whether Con
gress will pass the bill equalizing the
bounties of volunteers. Gen. Schenck.
Chairman of the Military Committee il
the House, made some remarks indicating
that the Committee is adverse to it. He
has made a calculation of the probable
cost and frightened himself with the fig.
ures.
It " ould certainly be but an act Of
even handed justice to give to those who
went earliest in.o the service a bounty
equal to that of. those who went latest
They had harder service, more privations
and servedlenger than those who received
the highest bounty. To refuse them equal
compensation is unjust and ungrateful,
