TERRIBLE DISEASE ALONG TIL

YAzoo.-A terrible disease similar
to the cholera, broken out among the
freedmen on the plantations along the
Yazoo River and the lower part of
Carroll County, Mississippi. 1t has
every appearance of cholera, but it is
confined entirely to the negro popu-
lation. Eleven of the latter had died
within a few days on one platation,
and lesser numbers on others, whilst
many of the ncgroesn are dangerously
sick.

THE BIBLE.-The Bible is the
treasure of the poor, the solace of the
sick, and the support of the dying,
and while other books may amuse
and instrust in leisure hour, it is
the peculiar triumph of that book to
create light in the midst of darkness,
to alleviate the sorrow which admits
of no other allcviation, to direct a
beam of hope to the heart which no
other topic of consolation can reach;
while guilt, despair and death vanish
at the touch of its holy inspiration.
There is something in the spirit and
dictation of the Bible, which is found
peculiarly adapted to arrest the at
tention of the plainest and most un-
cultivated minds. The simple struc-
ture of it's sentiments, combined with
the lofty spirit of poetry-its familiar
allusions to the scenes of nature and
transactions of common life-the de-
lightful intermixture of narration with
the doctrinal and perceptive parts
and the profusion of miraculous facts;
which convert it into a sort of enchan-
;9eI ground-its constant.adyertance
to the Deity, whose perfectioHis it

sto%ihg upon it an interest which at
taches to no other performance, aRd
which, after assiduous and repeated
perusal, invest it with much of the
charm Of novelty; like the orb of day,
at which We are wont to gaze with
unabatcd astonishment from infancy
to old age. What other book besides
the Bible could be heard in public as
semblies from year to year with at
tention that nevers tries and an inter-.
est that never clogs? With few ex-
ceptions, let a portion Of the. sacred
volume be. recited in a'mixed mul
titude, and though it has been heard
a thousand times, universal stiffness

ear is awake and attentive. Select,

and let it be rendered equally famil-
lar to the mind, and sec whether it
will produce this effect.

A party is in the last stages of declining
decrepltude that plants itself on an expiring
prejudice, TO maintain or regain political as.
cendancy. The Democratic party held out,
for years, on the slavery issue, because one
half the Union, and the controlling faction of
the party, was pecuniarily and socially bound
to sustain slavery, But, notwithstanding
this direct and dominant personal and pecu-
mary interest, the party declined steadily,
and finally, in defeat, resorted to force to re-
sist public opinion. and the fat of the people.
Slavery is abolished. The right Of personal
liberty. and of civil equality before the law,
is conceded &c the colored men, and the
country acquiesces.
Now, is it possible that, upon the mere
prejudice against color, in violation Of the
principles of free government and the equal
rights. of man, and an equal voice in the
Government organized to proteet those rig hts
and in violation OF the plainest principles Of
common justice, as well, party greatly in
the minority can build itself MP, and gain he
favor and the confidence of majority of the
people of Iowa. The idea is preposterous,
and'no man who has a future before him,
should suffer the fossilized Old Hnnker Lead
ers of a party to commit him to any such
aworn-out and waning issue. The Southern
Democracy is constrained, by the exigency of
the situation. not only to accede to impartial
suffrage, but to court the colored vote. And

THE ARGUS sNUBs THE TIMES

BEEF.-Tbe Chicago Times has a very
readable and, we doubt not, a very truthful
editorial, on the character and quality Of the
beef furnished to the Chicago market by the
butchers Of that preteutious city The e,li>
tor sets forth that only bulls and stays. weakly
cows, diseased steers aud a motley group
smothered to death, on the cattle cats and
trampled under foot by their stronger compsn.
ions, are bought by the butchers Of Chicago.
These descriptions Of cattle cost the butchers
of Chicago only Eve to six cents, and they
can sell the beef to the big feeders OF Chi
cago for twenty to twenty-five cents just as
readily as they could sell beef which would
cost them ten cents.
The good beef cattle 60 on through Chi
cago to New York, Boston, Cincinnati, Puts
burg, and other points. So Chicagoans ray
the penalty Of being provincial town, and
having smart batchers, by eating boil bee
