DISEASE AMONG THE HORSES OF THE
BRooKLIS CITY RAILROAD CoMPANY.-A
disease has broken out among the horses Of
the Brooklyn City Railroad Company, at
the stables situated on Fulton street. The
symptoms, which first made their appear
ance among these horses at that stable on
Monday morning last, were partial paraly-
SIS, the animals rejecting water or food Of
any description, the muscles of the throat
being habby and relaxed. Veterinary
surgeons were summoned, who pronounced
it to be disease of the brain and spinal
column, and to be of en- epidemic form, a
species of malaria, which is not, however,
infectious or contagious. A post norton
examination of one Of the horses was made
on Wednesday last, when the spinal cord
was found to be much diseased, and covered
with tubercles. SO far ten horses out Of
the thirty-three have died. The technical
term Of this disease, which is confined to
the horses at the stable in which it appear
ed, is cerebro-spinal meningitis Ne'e

DARING STAGE ROBBERY IN OREGON
About sunrise Sunday morning last, Au-
gust I'd, as Hailey's stage was proceeding
from La Grande to Meacham's, and when
about three miles on the other side Of the
Pelican Ranch, it wasattacked by four
masked highwaymen. Sheppard, Wells,
Fargo s. Co.'s messenger was aboard, and
"Doc !" Austin driving. The horses were
trotting leisurely along, and "Shep" and
" Doc " were about to Jig hit their cigars and
enjoy morning smoke when the four men
suddenly sprang into the middle of the road
ahead of the stage, two armed with double
barreled shotguns, and two with Henry
rifles, saluting them with q peremptory
order to throw up their hands, which they
at once complied with, seeing at once that
the "drop" was altogether in favor of
their assailants.
One of the robbers then ordered "Shep"
to throw down his gun, which he not at
once obeying, the order was repeated, with
the admonition that he had been told the
last time. "Shep" still not complying,
"Doc" threw the gun overheard. The
robbers then advanced and ordered the
driver and messenger to get down, and the
passengers, four in number, to get out.
They were then, with the exception Of the
driver, marched about hundred feet ahead
of the stage, being told to keep their backs
to the stage and not to look around. 1t is
unnecessary to say that this order was also
complied with, seeing that two of the rob-
bers stood by with Henry rifles pointed at
their heads. One of them proceeded to
ago through" the express box and mail
bags, which he accomplished in very
inc Inc Doc to assist him, took off the lead
horses.
The passengers were then searched and
relieved of their loose change. Major
James r. Mears, paymaster United States
army, and his clerk, James A. Waters,
were among the passengers, the former OF
whom lost all his private funds, though ne
succeeded in keeping large sum Of Govern
ment money concealed on his person. One
passenger, who was not dressed in thigh
toned . rig, was not overhauled, and came
out sixty dollars in coin ahead thereby.
The driver was then ordered to mount his
seat, the leader of the band crying out " all
aboard for Umatilla," and at the same time
telling him to not mind looking back. The
amount taken is somewhere in the vicinity
of 5000, between $4,000 and $1,000 OF
which was taken from Wells Fargo's trea-
sure box. There were several valuable
watches among the passengers, which the
robbers had no inclination to take.
In the afternoon John HALEY came back
to the scene of the robbery, and found the
lead horses about a mile from the spot, but
no traces of the robbers could be discovered
Up to this time nothing has been heard Of
them, no clue discovered as to the direction
taken, and but little hope is felt OF then
capture. A reward Of $4,000 has been OF
fered by Wells, Fargo & Go. for the arrest
and conviction of the robbers.-Grand'

A VALUABLE MOTIVE PowER.-There is
now on exhibition at No. ga Bowery COM
bined gig and circular saw machine, the
patent Of its inventor, Mr.. H. Hassenpfhug.
The machine is simple, small, and compact,
and can be run either by treadle or lever
power, or by both, and each saw can be
used alone, or both saws at once. The lever
power is on entirely new method Of apply
ing hand-power to machine, and resem-
bles somewhat the walking-beam of q
steamer in its action. The saws can be run
with ease ct very high rate of speed, and
that they are run very powerfully is proved
by their cutting easily through and through
four-inch planks of dry white oak, white
ash, or rosewood-the gig-saw even cutting
a plank of that thickness into various
shapes when run by treadle power alone.
The machine is also useful and rapid in
cutting cord wood will saw two-inch plank
as rapidly as if propelled by steam. The
machine can be used wherever power is
wanted, thus dispensing with the agency Of
steam. 1t is portable and cheap, the price
being sl65 for the combined saws, and $40
for the circular saw alone. 1t is covered
by three patents, the last patent having
been obtained about year ago.-Ne,c York

Buffers New ORLEANS CAREER.-The
New York Sun, in its issue of the 18th in
slant, asks for evidence Of General Buffers
propensity to appropriate the spoons Of
others. The instances are innumerable,
and are easily susceptible Of proof. AS a
specifc one is required we will select that Of
Dir. Campbell. During the occupation OF
the city Butler seized his house, and upon
It's restoration the silver was retained and
carried north by Butler, some of it having
.ince been seen in his own residence. 1t
consisted Of nine dozen pieces, all marked.
4 suit for its recovery is either about to be
or has already been brought against the
spoon fancier. 1t is notorious that the first
act Of Butler was to institute search for
silver plate, all Of which he protested to
confscate in the name of the United States.
So actively did he prosecute the search that
many of the resident families endeavored tc
transport their plate to Europe. Mr.. Ham
ihon Wright and Mr.. ellis, two of cur most
respectable merchants, were arrested and
sent to Ship Island on this charge. In one
case, Butler succeeded in capturing the
silver in the other, it eluded his vigilance.
If the New York S,n is sufficiently honest
in it's desire 10 investigate this subject, we
shall return to the subject again, with nu-
merous other well-credited and traceable
charges, selected from she host of instances
Of the spoon spoliation, either committed by
Butler himself, or IL his name by the crea-
lures under him.-Ne,c Orleans Times, al

President Johnson on Standing
Militia Armies I'm the South.

WASHINGTON, August 29.-Hon. John G..
Burch and Colonel L. C. Beech were recently
appointed delegation by the Tennessee
Conservatives to visit the President. Mr..
Burch, being unable to come, delegated his
powers to Colonel David Looney, who, with
Colonel Beech, had prolonged interview
with the President. The President re-
ferred the delegation to the recent orders
as the limit of Executive power, but
assured them that every power authorized
by the Constitution and laws would be used
to secure freedom of ballot without the in
reference of State or Federal troops. The
President takes the ground that the Consti-
tuition forbids the maintenance Of standing
armies in any State, and that the act
of 1865 disbanding and forbidding mill
tia and volunteers is absolute in the
South. He says militia duty is incumbent
on every citizen, but is an emergency force
subject to be called from the pillow or loom
at any moment, and from which no citizen
can escape; but that standing army Of
paid troops in any State, unless called for
and controlled by Federal authority, is re-
pugnant to the Constitution and laws.
Every power of the Government will be
used to put down standing armies of paid
troops in States.

ACow on A RooF.-A Detroit paper says :;
son Saturday afternoon q drove of cattle,
which had arrived in by one of the steam
boats, were placed in an enclosure near
Wards warehouse for safe keeping, and OF
course it was presumed they would be safe.
A COW, with lofty ideas, however, saw tit to
climb, and by means of some lumber, wood
etc., that had been piled up, she was en-
abled to reach the roof of an adjacent shed,
and then take survey Of the surrounding
country. Once on the roof, she attracted a
good deal of attention, and drew out quite
a crowd of people,. She gazed around
awhile, frisked about her elevated position,
and enjoyed a lively time generally. Finally
she risked her carcas upon sky-light in
the shed, and in q remarkably short space
of time went through into carpenters
shop, much to the astonisment of q Jour-
newman workman and damage of a large
quantity of glass. That COW was turned
into beef.

ATLANTA, GA, August 29.-ln the House
to-day Sims Ia negro) had the floor in de-
fence of negro eligibility. He said he was
at the Charleston Convention in 1860, and
was glad to see Mr.. Yancey withdraw his
delegation for it was the silyery lining for
the great cloud of liberty for the colored
man,
A point of order was raised whether the
tifteen-minutes' rule was in force.
The Chair decided that each member had
unlimited sway.
Sims continued his speech. He said, if
turned out of the Legislature, the negroes
would rally again with such an army as the
people of Georgia had never seen before.
The northern people loved us because we
are citizens and of the same blood, and if
all the tribunals of Georgia sustain our ex-
pulsion it shall not stand. God would not
allow the North to succeed in the late war
till the negroes were declared citizens, and
Chief Justice Taney's decision was reversed
by God.
Sims held the floor during the entire ses-
sion, resisting all motions to extend his
time and give him chance to finish some
other time.
