its intelligence of all kinds, daily or weekly,
its reports of markets, and its accounts of
daily or weekly occurrences, is the true

Epidemic In Ireland.

The British Medical Journal says: Great
interest amongst physicians and much
public alarm has arisen in the Irish metro
polls from the ohcurahce of several cases
of a disease previously unknown there. The
first case was on the 18th of March, 1866, in
the person of a most healthy student of
medicine and three others took place with
in the succeeding month. but during the
present year over twenty cases have
occurred in Dublin, and the neighbor-
ing suburb, Kingstown. Sudden prostra-
ton, almost black purpuric discoloration of
the skin. and death within very few hours
have marked all the cases. The duration
of the disease from seizure to death (for all
the cases have been fataI has varied from
seven to ninety hours. In several instan-
ees there has been coma for some hours be-
fore death; and in few, tetanoid spasms
and Increased scnsibility which symp-
toms indicate that the malady may
be closely related to cerebro-spinal
meningitis, which was epidemic in Ireland
in 1876, and in West Prussia in 1866. No
rank i'm life has more than another attract
ed the disease, which numbers among, its
victims one nobleman, two students of our
professions, three soldiers, and some other
persons living under the best hygienic cir
cumstances. The fact that it preceded and
Immediately succeeded the outbreak of
cholera in Dublin, Kingstown, and Tulla-
more, has suggested to some that it may be
same cause, but there is no other evidence
whatever of the relationship. From. DR..
Mapother's report, it would appear that
the disease is not at all communicable, for

The Interest ON the Alabama

[From the Montgomery Advertiser. May III d
John Whiting, of this city, the States
financial agent, left for New York yester-
day. He goes tor the purpose of carrying
into effect the arrangement for paying the
interest on our bonded debt, which will
shortly be due in London. The interest on
a portion of the London bonds is payable
annually on the 1st of June, and upon
another portion the interest is to be
paid semi-annually, on the 1st of
January and the 1st of July. Governor
Patton, with characteristic energy, has pro-
vided the funds necessary to pay this in
terest. The aggregate amount of currency
required for the purpose, including the
premium on exchange, is $93,2S6. The
sterling exchange for the June interest
having been forwarded to London through
the agencies of the Bank of Mobile, MIR.
Whiting will remit from New York the
amount necessary to pay to coupons falling
due the 1st of July. The interest on the
New York bonds is payable semi-annually
ON the 1st of May and 1sta of November.
The May interest, as we. stated short time
since, has already been paid. The amount
required, for that purpose was $64731.
Hence, the aggregate amount of interest
paid at New York and London in May,

Our Meeting on Tuesday.

The meeting of the Democracy, on Tues
day, although in consequence of the in
tense heat and the clouds of dust impreg-
mating the air along the principle thor
oughfares in the country, not so large as
some others that have been held in the
county, was, nevertheless, very fine one,
and the attendance of voters was fully as
large as anticipated.
At the grove, the Hon. VIM. Allen presi-
ded, and introduced Mr.. Pendleton to the
audience. The Honorable gentleman then
proceeded to deliver one of the finest
speeches of his life. We have heard him
on various occasions. and have read great
manv of his able productions, but his effort
on Tuesday, eclipsed them all. 1t was
brimtul of logic, wit, satire and beautiful
metaphors. and the peroration was the
grandest thing we have ever listened to-
We regret that we are not able to lay the
speech before onr readers, as we are not
willing to mar it with synopsis.
Frank Hurd was then introduced to the
audience by the President, with the remark
that he was "a little lame. but not half as
much as the Constitution" Mr.. Hurd
spoke with great earnestness and effect,
hurling an avalanche of argument against
the theories of the destructives. 1t was
one of the most eloquent and convincing
speeches of the campaign.
In the evening two large meetings were
held in front of the Court House. An Eng
Iish meeting was addressed by Judge Van
Trump and Mr.. Stafford at the south end OF
the building, and large German meeting
was addressed by Judge Lang at the north
end. The speeches in both languages were
replete with argument, and powerful expo
sitions of the corruptions and dangerous
tendencies of Radiralism.
The distinguishing characteristic of both
meetings, afternoon and evening, was the
close and thoughtful attention paid to the
