The Cattle scourge.

The United States consul at Manches-
ter, England, under date of February 2,
1866, informs the Department of State
that there is no perceptible abatement in
the ravages Of the rinderpest, and that
all attempts to check its progress by vac
cination Of the cattle has proved an en-
tire failure, no exception or mitigation
having been secured by the operation.
Official reports, published on February
2, announce 11,745 as the number of new
cases for the previous week. This is a
frightful mortality. In the county Of
Cheshire, which borders upon Manches-
tel, the prevalence Of the disease is com
paratively recent, yet, up to the Both ul.
timo, there were 1928 cases-died, IT,,
O42; killed, 700; under treatment, 5,547;
recovered 1,245.
The consul states that "American far
mers can hardly appreciate the oyerwhel-
ming ruin to which the English dairymar
or grazier, who has no property in the
soil, but whose whole living is in hi
focks, must succumb. The distress il
indeed beyond description in parts o
Cheshire and elsewhere. Some farmers
lose 40, others less, according to thei
possessions. Under their utter helpless
ness to devise measures Of the least avail
and the certain prospect of reduction tt
absolute poverty which is generally hope
less here, many have lost their reason.
'The most stringent measures are takel
to keep the disease out Of Ireland, AM
SO far, I believe, with success"

The White House Robbery.

On the 18th ult., in the lower House
of Congress, while the Committee Of the
Whole was considering the Miscellaneous
Appropriation Bill, Thaddeus Stevens
made the following startling disclosure of
the manner of conducting affairs at the
White House, duling its occupancy by
the "loyal' party.
"Although the President desired to
have it r~efurnished in the most economi-
cal style, it would take this amount in
addition to the $50, 900 already appro-
priated this season. He added that near
~ every useful article, including bedding,
furniture, the gold spoons bought in Van
Buren's time, as well as ornaments, had
been removed from the White House, by
irresponsible parties, during, the six weeks
succeeding the death of Mr.. Lincoln"
Thus the fact is officially announced
that grand larceny was committed in the
White House, between the time of Mr..
Lincoln's death and the occupation Of
the building by Mr.. Johnson's family,
which will take $4,000 in addition to
the former appropriation, to make good
Bedding, furniture, carpets, curtains, gold
spoons, and nearly every useful article in
the building, were carried away. By
whom was this Wholesale robbery com
mitted? The stewart, an honest "loyal
ist,' had charge of the building and pcs
session of the keys, and "poor'' Mrs. Lin.
coin was there, too unwell, it was given
out, to accompany her husbands remains
to Illinois. although she packed up AM
had shipped away several car loads o
goods, her political friends say it is
gross SANDER to insiuuate that she tool
away anything thai did not belong to ler
If she is Innocent who are the guilt,
persons? The people, who foot the bills
have a right to know, and we hope Con
gress will cause an investigation to b
: made at once.
1t must be borne in mind that thi
; White House larceny is confined exclu
siyely to the "loyal'' Abolitionists. N
| Democrat is connected with it in an
manner whatever, The whole transactio
is a part of the general robbery that ha
been going on for the last five years.
t is to be hoped that these things have ha
! their day.-M. Vernon Banner.
