HOG DIsEA3E.-Much has been written
and spoken of the fatal effects of the cholera
among hogs, but during the past week dis
ease broke out among the Logs of this section
which proved vastly more fatal than the dread
ed cholera. In most cases its attacks have
been so violent as to sever the jugular vein,
which is followed by profuso bleeding, end.
ing. in death in from Ave to ten minutes. The
hogs do not seem to appreciate it, and squeal
vigorously under its effects. As DR.. Bagbv

say The letter of General Grant,
published in our Geographic column, Is
a palpable electioneering Documents
is the overt act. The President asks
him to make any suggestions he might
deem necessary as to the assignments OF
officers, made by the order Of his supe-
rior, and he avails himself of the occa'
sion to demonstrate against the order
ITSELF He avows that Congress is the
soyereign-that a republican government
is one in which the majority of the
popular vote is supreme over the Consti-
tuition. He wrote preious letter remon'
strating against the order removing
Sheridan, which he chad hoped would
have prevented it" This is bold bid
for the Radical vote, which we had
hoped not to see. But the President
has issued the order, Notwithstanding
Grants objections, and we shall see
whether he has the nerve to stand to it.
Grant will be taken back into the Radical
fold, with slight reprimand for having
backslid for a while. johnson will
henceforth be man or an imbecile.

HG~The Memphis Chamber of Com.
merce held its regular monthly meeting,
in its room in Odd Fellows Hall, yes.
terday evening. The principal business
was the appointment of committee to
nominate officers for the ensuing fiscal
year A resolution was adopted appoint
ing such a. committee, which is to pub
lish the nominations on or before the
18th of September and until the fourth
Monday. The important matter of
collection OF the Mississippi cotton tax
in this city also came up. The matter
is to be arranged with Mr.. Sheppard,
one of the Collectors of Internal Reve-
nue. for that State, the Chamber and
merchants Of the city being in arrears
for office rent and assessors salary for
last year, which is required as a prece-
dent condition to sending a collector to
this city. The matter will again come
up at an adjourned meeting next Thurs
day, and we doubt not will be satisfac-
torily adjusted. The Chamber has now
become an institution Of our city, having
for its membership merchants Of the
highest character, and commanding a
large and valuable influence on the in
teres.s of all concerned.
