A statement of the facts concerning
Texas cattle disease made by }. Dodge
statistician of the department or agrl-
culture, as the result of an EXTENDED
Investigation, makes the following
points:
Ist. That the disease is cOmmuni-
Gated by cattle from Texas, FIOrlda,
and other portions Of the Gull COAST.
I'd. That such disease is itself IN
known in Texas or on the Gulf coast
Sd. That the cattle Communicating
it are not only apparently healChy'
but generly improving in condltIOn:
4th. That while local herds recelY-
ing the infection nearly all die, they
never communicate disease TO liners.
5th. That either a considerable IN
crease in elevation or a distance OF Two
or three degrees of latitude from the
starting point. is necessary to develop
the virus into activity and vIrulency
and q further progress Of two degrees
of latitude, and a few weeks, more
time is sufficient to eliminate pOIson
from the system.
9Th. That Texas cattle, removed 70
other missmetic sections, as the MISS
isippi bottoms up to the 18th parallel
communicate no Infection to local
herds.
7th. Medication has thus far been
of no avail.
It concludes that the disease cannot
become general, that it can exist only
with the movements of Texas cattle,
which should be regulated or sup
pressed, and that it does not result
travel but from climatic causes

The Democrats Washington special
saysthatn Notwithstanding the attempt
to conceal the negotiations which the
New York democrats have been ear
rying on with the President since
SeymOur's nomination, some Of their
~tranactiOns at the White House have
come to light. To the first gentleman
who called on him shortly after the
Convention adjourned, he was very
curt, telling them he had set their
partp on its feet and in return theyhad
thrown him overheard, and he would
have nothing more to do with them.
Further, in his own choice language
he told them to say to Mr.. Seymour
and the whole world that he had been
informed they had been FROM the first
secretly in favor Ofimpeachment, and
now they might one and all of them
go to HI as far as he cared, and
with this the first interview ended.
There have been several others and
finally, during last week, these gentle
men reported here and in n. Y. that
the Presidenthad been brought around
and would now help in the present
campaign.
They made some grand promises, as
they tell their friends, but theiTnature
has not been a~scertained. AS an evil
dence that he reallyintends to support
Seymour, the Democrats are trying to
get the President to suspend Rollins
and give the place to an avOwed Dem
Ocrat who will use the whole patron
age, as far as possible, to carry the
close States.
The Conservative Democrats of
Baltimore have met in Convention
and stricken the word Conservative
from their title. The reason is found
in the fact all the Swami C~onservat-
ives had already left them and gone
over to Grant and COlfaX.

In the course ofDr. Gray'sremarks,
delivered at the funeral ceremonies of
Thaddeus Stevens, today he said
that the hero who finished his career
at st. Helena, extraordinary IS he
was, is a far more common element
in the worlds existence and in the
chapter of Gods events, than he who
slept in the coffin this day in the
Capitol. Mr. Stevens, he declared,
was delegated as the worlds apostle Of
human liberty, and well did he fulfil
his commission. For the past few
years he had exerted upon the nation
a mere pow erful influence than any
one man hadever done in the govern

A Rebel Colonel made a speech not
many miles from BrownviIle one night
last week, and in speaking of the great
Republican party, he made use of the
following expression:
"We arraign them in the name of
own dearly beloved Confederate
dead [cheers], whose bones are strewn
all over the Southwest, killed in battle
by the ~atrociOus cruelty of the Radical
Government. [Cheers. ]"
All! ha! charge Republicans with
killing your Confederate dead" do
you? Who did the members of the
Conservative Soldiers and Sailors
Convention which met in New York,
in July last, kill? Did they ever in
jure GIG of your " dearly beloved Con-
federate dead?" Oh, no, they were
mostly on the rebel side. We have
heard it said that as many Democrats
as Republicans went into the army.
Did any one ever believe it? This rebel
colonel evidently did not.

On last Friday afternoon we lett our
Z" case and stick,n and took our brass
piece and place in the band wagon, in
company with ten other " blowers and
were soon on the road to Hamburg, in
southwestern Iowa, to do the music
for a Democratic "pow-wow," to come
off there on the next day. We had
been drilling for months on all the ma
tiOna1 airs, marches, and the usual
pieces played by brass bands, but in
our simplicity we had forgotten to
write out and play Dixie" "My
Maryland, and the like and to our
surprise, we were expected to play
Dixie first, last, and all the time. So
Smith wrote out the several parts of
Dixie for the band, and here allow me
to say, in behalf of the band, that be-
fore that Democratic meeting was over
our practice on that tune was ample,
sufficient and frequent; and now it
can no longer be said that the Brown
vile Brass Band do not know how to
play at least one rebel air.
The meeting was held in the grove
east Of the town and was addressed by
Hadley D. Johnson, of Omaha, j. S..
Morton, of Nebraska city, and Mont
gomery, of the Council Bluffs Demo
crdt. Duringaportion of the day there
was flying, from an unfinished brick
store, at the south end of Main street,
a small rebel flag. We did not learn
how it came to be taken down. The
speeches were pregnant with the worst
sort of treason; charging Republicans
with putting down rebellion, as if it
were a crime to destroy life, property,
OF spend a dime in putting down a
Democratic rebellion. The only po-
Icy of treating treason which they
approved. was the " all quiet along
the Potomac" way, detaching large
numbers of Union men to stand guard
in ~drenching storm over arlington
House )" sending back in chains all
Union men coming into our lines from
the South. They find no fault with
this, because by it rebellion would
have been successful. In short they
charge the Republicans with the fact
that they would not tie their hands
behind them, shut their mouths and
lock up their purses during the whole
rebellion, or until the Southern rebels
and Northern Copperheads had ar
ranged to set the loyal North at liberty.
The drift of their speeches and dis
courses were whining cant, and melan-
chOlly, and acrimonious complaints of
every measure the tendency of which
was to maintain the Union and re-
store the Rebel States to their normal
condition in the Government under
Union leaders. In common parlance,
the Democracy have e souredn on the
Union and all that is necessary to per-
~petuateit. Atlast the exercises closed,
and the band took their pay and left
for Brownsville.
