THE CATTLE DISEASE.

The officers Of the Board OF Health during the past
week have examined about one hundred Texas
cattle out of three herds that have arrived here that
concerned last July In bringing the disease into
Champagne and Morgan counties, Illinois, and find
that twenty Ave per cent Of them have been seriously
diseased and IN the same manner, although not TO
the same degree rs the native Illinois cattle. This
accords with what the Health Onlcer of Chicago and
Professor Gamger, OF Kansas City, NO., had pre-.
vously informed the Board OF Health. The medical
gentlemen who have examined into this subject ex.
press the belief that although the Texas cattle may
escape the fatal ravages of this Injection In conse.

and high consideration of all true Southern peo-

Her capacities for the avocaton she now proposes
to resume, are great; she has knowledge, and
experisnce, and administrative talent, and hon

and country.
She ha, already set on foot measures for raising

Negro Suffrage,

The newly-built Chicago platform believes
that it is a good thing for Congress to force
negro suffrage upon the States of the South,
but thinks it will not do to try the same thing
on the Northern States The elections in
Ohio and Michigan, in Minnesota and Kansas,
have broughtup these iSaicals with round
turn" They felt compelled to abandon their
declared purpose of forcing negro suffrage
upon the North by Act of Congress. They
were ready, it is said, to take more " advanc'
ed grouud' THAT is their torn for usurpation)
on this question, but were restrained by the
fears of their candidate, Grant. This gentle
man seems to have had his eyes opened by
the election. When he wrote his Sheridan
letter to the President, he was for forcing ne.
gro suffrage, on the ground that it was the
sentiment of the people. He has changed
his mind on that point. The overwhelming
m.jorities against negro suffrage in such
States as Ohio, Kansas, Michigan, ETC., have
forced him to abandon his ground, and now
he wanted to go into the canvas on nun,
platform. He had tried this mum plan him
self, and he knew of no.reason why it could
not be carried out in. the party platform as
well as the party candidate. 1t was attempt
ed, and failed. Unbappily for the wire work
ers, the negro suffrage question was so stua-
ted, that to speak on the subject at all was to
become committed in some way. This is the
very singular result of the effort at Chicago
to accommodate both the friends and oppo-
nents of negro suffrage

suffrage to all legal men at the South was de-
manded by every consideration of public safe.

doctrine which we reject ourselves at home.

OBITUARY.

DIED, on the 22d of May, in Texas, DR.. j..
B. HODGES, in the 29th year of his age. His
soul has gone to the God who gave it, and his
body is laid in the silent dust But the memory
of his many noble and generous traits of charac-
ter will long live in the hearts of his friends.
Ok the 10th day of May, 1868. Mrs. ANNIS
RODGERS, wife of SIMPSON Fl. RoDaERs, Esq,
in the 49th year of her ago, a!t,r a protracted
and painful illness, bnde adieu to the cares and
anxieties of life, and entered into that rest pre-
pared by God for his people.
For thirty-three years Mrs. R. had been o
member Of Dry Creek Baptist Church, and during
that long period had adorned the. profession
which she made by we'll ordered life. Her fu-
neral servicesSere performed, ut her own request,
by her old past3r. Rev. A. P. NORRIS, in Har-
mony Church, and her earthly remains were do
posted in that Church yard, from whence she
will have part in the first resurrection.
Language fails to portray her full character.
The very large and serious congregation who at
tended her funeral gave evidence of the esteem
in which she was held. She had no enemy. Eve
ry ono loved her. This good woman had not the
advantages of liberal education, bnt yet she
could, and did adapt heraelf to tho very best cir
cles of society. On the Sabbath previous to her
death she said to o friend, speaking Of the love-
lincss Of the morning, that the next Sabbath she
would spend in the better land with friends who
had gone before her; and just at twelve on the
next Saturday night she left the world to join
those friends. Who could hut feel under such
circumstances, that it was better to go to the
house of mourning than to the house of feasting?
Mrs. RoDaRRs was peculiarly catholic. Her
house was the home of. all good people, irrespec-
tive of name. Many way worn minister of our
holy religion will remember with pride the name
of ANNIs RoDaEl.s, and the hospitablc home of
herself and kind husband on the banks of old
Dry Creek.
Those who weep for her can only mourn their
own .loss,-not hers. She was devotedly attached
to the Church. Her seat was rarely vacant, un-
less Providentially kept away. She not only
loved tho Church on Sunday, but was always
ready to make any reasonable sacrifice to be there
in the week. The membership aud the Pastor of
Dry Creek Church will feel tho loss of valuable
member-but while they deplore this loss, they
should rejoice that their loss is her gain. She
has gone to join tho Church of tie first born in
Heaven.
