TEXAS CATTLE PLAGUE.

-
We take the following extract from the
report Of a special committee Of the Hi
nois State Agriculture Society, appointed
10 investigate this mysterious disease.
The gentlemen went to Kansas, where
there are large numbers Of Texas cattle
grazing and aeclimating, to observe the
disease as it appears among them, and
try to ascertain the way By which it is
communicated to native cattle. Their
observations and information confirmed
the impressions which their investigs-
tons of this malady In Illinois produced,
and are expressed below:
/. That isolation of native stock from
the Texas herds is imperstively de-
manded during the hot and generally
dry months of June, July, and August.
2. That one days contact, or the crosse
ing Of the trail or herding ground Of
Texas cattle by natives, does not effect
the native stock, but continued contact,
or grazing after them for two or three
weeks. is necessary to produce the dis
ease.
8. That native cattle do not contract
the disease by being fed with Texas cat
tie in dry lots.
4. That in no instance, coming under
our observation, has the disease been
disseminated by Texas cattle that have
been wintered In Arkansas, Kansas, Mis-
souri,, Illinois or Iowa; nor has the dis
ease been known to prevail in any of
these States after the Rutumnal rains
and frosts. Grazing upon the same
ground that Texas herds have grszsd
upon, we have said, is a necessary o a
dition to the development OF the
disease, and feeding upon dry lots
does not provide such condition hence
the transportation of native cattle from
Illinois to New York in the cars that
Texas cattle have been transported in
will not produce the necessary condition
to develop the disease; moi will the
transportation of Texas cattle by rail
from Kansas to Chicago or New York,
they being. fed in pens provided by the
railroad companies, spread any disease.
The introduction of Texas cattle, after
the fall rains al d ( ost, into the pastures
and feed lots of Illinois farmers, may
be done without the fear of producing
this mslady.
Twenty-Five to thirty thousand head
of Texas cattle are now grazing In the
vicinity of Abeline, Kansss, most of
which we saw, and we say, without hest
tation, that we have nsver seen more
healthy and thrifty cattle than we saw
there. VIVA

last. At q meeting st BartIett's Station,
LAST week, he ~cOncocted the scheme,
which progressed so far as that 81 an
early heur Saturday evening more than
one hundred armed men awaited the
signal for destruction; but, at the last
moment, BARBOUR grew fsint-hesrted,
relented, and gave up the job. Visions
Of a sour apple tree or a lamp post,
and the hell that awaits him beyond,
wera too much. foC even this precious
villain, andhe repsnted him Of even tbs
attempt, and left the city between night
and morning, fearful, II he remained for
daylight, that the sun night make

fession for the leading Republican orgsn
to make as to the character and conduct
Of It's leader. Only a little while since

Hon. Darcy McGhee, entered the courtroom
ard returned a verdict OF guilty against Wha-
len. The prisoner exhibited but little signs OF
emotion.
A large crowd was outside the courtroom
this morning, bat very few were admitted.
The prisoner, on being brought in, looked pale
and nervous. b jury having been called and
answered to their names, were asked the usual
questions. when the foreman replied that they
had found a verdict 81 gnilty. The prisoner,
who hear the announcement with composure,
made long ADDRESS 10 tte court, in which rs
very emphAticslly and soiemuly asserted his
entire innocence Of the crime. He denied
having any connection with Fenianism,
and declared that he had been con-
demned because he was a Roman Catholic,
and that false eVidsnca had been deliberately
given to convict him. He was going on 10 speak
oEthe cruel treatment Of Itshmen ny England,
when he was interrupted by the Chief Justice,
who pointed out TO bin tnst whatever Tigor
be the case else where, in this country Irish
nen and all other classes were treated alike
before the law, ana he had nJ reasonable
grounds Tor oomplaist. After solemnly cau-
uoning the prisoner agatast any hopes of par

ture, HIs Lordshtp s~enteneed hin TO Oe exe3u-
ted on Thursday, the 10th of december next,
betW cen 10 am. and 4 p, IN. Jhe prisoner
was then removed. The most intense excite
ment prevailed around the courtroom during

THE MAINE

The Republicans, Is vas TO be ex-
pected, are growing Justify over the re-
turns from Maine. In order to correct
the a-ppreheDsions of the timid, and to
prove the incorrectness Of Radical as
sumptions OF "victory and gain" even
in that stronghold of Republicsnism, we
append the following vote in MaiEei for
Governor in 1866 and 1867:
MY Dem, Rep. Rep.Msj, Total Vote
ls65---.A9 90 69.6S H,69 HISS
Ls67--4S,Ss 1852 uS42 lVS,S2
The total vote in 1867 was $500 less than
Ia 1856, and the Republican majority fell
Is. 34S; the Democratic vote only in
creased 4O43. The reason for this result,
says the Philsdslphis Age, was, that the
Radical constsbulary liquor law OF the
preceding session was so odious that
many Republicans voted against their
ticket, and many thousands did not vote
al all, as the figures show. Butthe Rad
zeal Legislature, elected in 1857, removed
the cause OF the disastrous falling
of of 16,34s in their majority, and
the same cause, therefore, will not ope-
rate this year ct all. Hence the vote of
Monday must be compared with the vote
OF 1885, and the gain or toss, of the Re.
publicans viii be measured by the test,
whether their msjofity will be greater,
or less than q, $50. 1t would be As unfair
to measure the result by the vote on the
constabulsry liquor Law in 1851 a it
would be to apply the. same test to the
result in Massachusetts in the ssmeyesr,
oa the same issue. According to that
test, we carried the State OF Msssa-
chusetts. But in that State, as well as
in Maine, the odious law has been
changed, and the result in both States
must now be compared with the vote Of
1865, when parties, in both States,
squared of, as they viii do in 1858,
without the disturbing element of an
odIous local law. Hence, We will be pre-
pared, when the true returns from Maine
shall come in, to compare the result
with that OF 1866. Every vote Of major
less than q, $50 will be a Rspubli-
can loss, aRd a Democratic gain. If the
msjority should exceed 1850, We will
c~heerfully concede q Republican gain.
