The CATTLE PLAGUE. 1t app

The CATTLE PLAGUE.-It appears that this
disease, now prevalent in all the Northwest
catte-raiSing districts, is not the rinderpest or
the pleura-pneumonia, but species of infec-
tious fever of malignant type. It appears to
have been carried to Illinois by Texas cattle,
and is, therefore, known as the Texas fever"
Some suppose it to have resulted originally
from the close packing in cars to which the
animals are subject when being conveyed from
various parts of the West to the pasturages in
Illinois and Indiana. About thirty thousand
Texas cattle have been taken to Champaign
County, Illinois, during the last three months,
aud it is supposed that the disease was generat-
ed among these during their long journey, and
that the rest have been injected with it,
We devote a large part Of our space to the
illustration of this subject. On pages 552 and
553 will be found number of illustrations Of
the reception, appearance, and disposition of
the cattle-the good, bad, and indiherent-at
the Communipaw abattoirs
| One OF these, the first in the natural order
of the story, though not first in the arrange
ment of the pictures, represents the unload
inc Of cattle from the cars" 1t has been ar.
gucd, as before stated, that this disease results
from the manner in which the animals are car
ried. 1t is not an improbable though general
ly disputed theory. without warning or
preparation" writes person familiar with the

are at once driven to the stations, forced into
the cars, and started for the great markets.
| Wearied through the long days and hours of
standing, frightened by shrill noises and the
roaring Of passing trains, wrenched by sudden
starts, hungry and thirsty, whether in sum-
mer's heat or winters cold, and saved from
falling, in their exhaustion, only because they
are so closely packed they are obliged to stand,
it may be inquired whether their prisOn- hous-
es, named cattle-cars, reeking with fkh, have
not, through years, accumulated from these
agonies the germs of the disease which, at last,
has burst forth to avenge their sufferings -
1t is understood that on all Northern roads the
drovers are compelled by law to feed and water
the cattle every twenty four hours, hut on the
Southern roads, by which the Texas cattle
come, there are no such wise regulations.
And it is not certain that the Northern drov
ers fully comply with the law. The only place
at which cattle are watered on one of the prin
cipal routes between Chicago and New York
a four days journeys at CheStline, and there
they are not fed; and frequently, in order tha
the company may make up lost time, the ami
mails go unwatered through their long Journey
When cattle received by the cars are founC
to be infected they are Immediately slaughter
ed at the abattoir at Communipaw, by being
knocked in the head, and Immediately dragged
to the steaming vats, and boiled until the grease
is extracted. Many of the diseased cattle die
before they can be killed d-Harper's Heekly.

HOW THE LAWS ARE EXECUTED
MEMPHHR


AT the close Of the recent term of tho
Criminal Court at Memphis, the grand
jury submitted report touching various
matters coming under their observation,
and in regard to the transaction Of busi-
ness in the Justices coErts, they say
But two Of the Magistrates fully comply
with the law requiring them in all State
cases to reduce to writing all the testimo-
nv, and forward the same to the court TO
which the prisoner is bound to appear.
Nearly all the Magistrates fail to recognize
prosecutors to appear before the grand
Jury. The failure Of the Magistrates to
perform their duty in this respect ia one Of
the causes Of delay in pushing business for
ward in the Criminal Court. The Law
does not permit every person 10 serve
State process-no person except fhe Sheriff,
his regular Deputies, regular Constables
and Metropolitan Policemen, have power
to do 80 and no person has right to
serve civil process from Magistrates courts,
except the Sheriff, his Deputies and Con-
stables, except in cases when ''there is no
officer at hand and the business is urgent"
when the Magistrate may appoint some
person to execute process. Every Magistrate
10 the city, except Squire Herman, has from
one to eight chosen parties regularly sta
toned al their Offices, whom they style
their Constables, and who are especially
deputized to execute civil process, and
whom most of the Magistrates deputize TO
execute State process. They give no bonds,
are not sworn, aud although among them
are few respectable persons the most are
proven TO be loafers and yagabonds whom
il would be the duty of the police to arrest
The result Of all this is, with seventeen
Magisiratesand fifty deputy Constables, with
their rivalry, their anxiety to make money
and their zeal to Guido each other in sub
serviency TO the demands of those who en-
ploy them. that suits are stirred up, the
laws continually violated, and the so-called
administration of public justice by the
Magistrates Of the city of Memphis is a
nuisance and farce. All the Magistrates,
except Esquires Daily and Hall, accept fees
in advance in States cases, while some of
the Magistrates demand their fees in such
cases in advance; all Of which they are
advised is in violation of law.
The taking Of STRAW bail" is a crying
evil in Memphis, and the jury recomN
mend that greater scrutiny be instituted
into the solvency OF those proposed as
bail
