We believe there S abundant evil
idence that T. F. Dickinson himself and
not his oDeputy" is responsible for the
recent outrageous frauds perpetrated 10
gME Dickinson'si ndne and designed
especially to affect the election in the
Ninth District. Mr.. Dickinson cannot
escape the penalty of f-the law by pre-
tending that some unauthorized person
has been using his signature and the
seal of his Court. The fact that these
bogus papers, beaFibg Dickinso6's sig
nature, and issned by the ream were
placed in the hands of leading Copper
head politicians in all parts of the Dis
triet, and by them distributed to any
aliens who would promise to vote the
Democratic ticket, will convince any
sensible man that they came from
headquarters, ard were a part of the
machinery by which the Ninth District
and the State of Ohio were to be car
ried for the Democrats. But we do
notfsel disposed to discuss this matter.
E. F. Dickinson will have an opportuni-
ty to prove before the proper tribunal
that he has not committed a crime
against the laws of his country, the
penalty for which is incarceration in
the Penitentiary-a crime which is as
much Worse than theft or robbery, as
the political rights Of the whole people
are more sacred than the property
rights of the individual. S>iCi

How many having the same sort of papers

that over 100 votes were cast which were

OPINIONS OF THE PRESS.
From the Toledo Blade.l

The SaadEsky Register reveals in
part the method by which the opponent
Of Gen wv H. LGibsony who is the
sPfobaie1 1Juhge of Sandusky county,
achieved his victory. The Register
states that hundreds of naturalization
cestifcates were scattered In. Erie,
Sandusky and Ottowa counties, all
dated since Dickinson's nomination,
bearing the seal of his court and the
name of the Congressman elect as
signed by the clerk one MeArdle, and
in the hands of aliens who have not
been in the country long enough to be
naturalized. The cause of justice
demands that this matter be thoroughly
investigated.
We earnestly hopethat the RepubF-
cans of the Ninth District will see that
snyss scouhdrei- -gailty Of such an abuse
Of the power his Office gives him is
sent to the penitentiaTy, where of right
he belongs. That he is Democratic

more imperative tb at the laws should
Be- vindieated. Our lawmakers ought
not to be lsW-breskers with impunity.

The Sandusky Register says that fraudu-
lent Naturalization papers have been issued
by Judge of Probate Miner of Ottawa
County, to aid in the election of Judge
Dickinson, and that paper. says il Judge
Mizner thinks the statement cannot be
proved, he had better sue the Register for
libel.
The people Of the Ninth District are
thoroughly aroused at the coming to light
of this gigantic fraud and the thing will lie
prObed to the bottom. The Federal off,
GERS Of this city are also determined that
justice shall be done, and if the people of
the Ninth District will second. the efforts Of
the Federal officers, the doors of the Peni-
tentiary will close in some oS Mr. S-y-

capitulated under an Introductory skirmish OF
notes and dispatches and had cowardly deserted
the Danish Nation and the great Danish Cues:
ton, great in so far as it forms the point at
which InternationonaI Law in Europe Is con
centrated. Those two Powers had, to use a
we'll known parallel, been invited to take
the uppermOst seats at a prlncely feaSt,
but they excused themselves saying they
could not leave their, business-emplOymentS,
and therefore on those two Powers must
rest the greatest responsibility for what has
transpired in this affair. Even in state-attalrS
it is unfortunately the case, perhaps in a some
what different sense, that the children. OF this
world are wiser in their generation than the
children of light. The french and british peo-
pie are scarcely deserving of this latter demo
mination but relatively it is applicable.
Hitherto, at least, only Prussia and Russia
have met with their IegionS on the battle fields
of Europe, principally and chiefly with the OBJ
ject and for the purpose Of treadlng under foot
Civil Rights and international Law. 1t must.
certainly be owing to mere ettemlnacy, ana
not to abject principles, that the eStern POW-
ers have deserted the great cause, and for TINS
cowardIy discretion the British Nation with its
non-interventio policy bears the whole reSpon-
sibility. The |fAnAtical desire prevailing in tn d
British People to play the part OF lrehe' tne
Goddess of Peace, to be able like her to carry
about in their arms the young PlutuS (W'alth)'
a we'll cramm.d babe, has led Britannia to
commit a c)wArdly act, a most treacheroas
deed; the Greecian Irene did, however, never
desire peace without honor, therefore the PIutuS
whom she nurSed in her bosom was a little
plump and healty Genius of Wealth, while the
Plutus now presented to the World in Veto
ria's arms, is a pitiful defOrmity, a Genius of
Famine in Europe.

HI L STATES.

The Americ N public are having a very
disagreeabIe Sc SatIon just now' IN IT,
presence of a cattle disease, which,
though not the rinderpeSt that has affi c.
ed Enrop g., seems to be equally fatal IN
it's effects. This scourge Is the Spanish
or Texan fever, and it has been imported
into the Northern States with herds from
Texas. 1t first appeared in Indiana and
Illinois a few we ks ago, and still RACES
in those States. Daring May and Jnnt
some Is 600 cattle were brought from
Texas to Champaign County, Il'n"is. ao'
driven Ivy easy stages over the pral les
pasturing as they went. In less than five
DAYS the native stock grazing on the prai'
ries where the Texan herds had graZed
were all sick or dead, while those grazing
where the Texan cattle had not appeared
remained healthy. In the first two weeks
of the disease 235 cattle died, after which
the mortality increased, one farmer losing
SIS out of 70 cows in a few days. No
animal attacked seems to have recovered.
, 1868-09-25

Upon the appearance of the disease at
Chicago the Potkpackers' Association of
that city appointed q committee to IN
vesligate The malady. This committee
was headed by Professor John Gamgee,
formerly of the Abr Veterinary College
in London, and he has made a report on
stances The First, the milk begins
Ito fail !; the animal droops its head and
ears; the head, when opportunity offers,
lis pressed against any hard or cold sub
stance. On the second day there is tremb-
ling Of the hanks, aud sborl, hard breath
Inc; the pulse is accelerated; the animals
legs b md, and are unsteady under lis
weight there is great weakness, with a
disposition to lie down aud Immediately
arse On the third day the disease usually
terminates fatally { w cattle live until
the fourth day after the attack. Thus far
only COWS appear to have been attacked.
Upon all that have died are found I'M
Imensr numbers of ticks and lice, such as
infrst the Texan cattle. Il is noticed that
IAN invariahle Symptom is suppression of
the urinary discharges when such dis
charges have occurr, d, The urine has been
very black examinations af er death have
shown the bladder to b. greatly distended,
and filled with dark coloured waller and
Ico,gulated blood No remedy for the dis
ease has been faund Professor Gamgee
SAYS the dis aSe is sImilar 10 what is called
he "darn" in Aherde n>hire, and that 1T
has been described ~ occurring in various
parts of Eur pc. The malady follows
he track ofTcxan cattle, ard is not found
. yonl, He says that sucking calves
continue to suckle their mothers without
c n racting the disease, which is not of
the class of true plaques ofelizootics, but
has IA local origin. If the cattle of the
north were removed to Tcxas they would
die Just as they are now dying in Illinois.
There is something unusually vIruIent,
however, discharged by Texan herds dur
ing the summer months. The malady has
classed in Europe among the forms
|of carbuncular %fevers, which originate on
|lildrained ~retentive soils in warm locall-
lies. He does not think there is any
danger from drinking the milk of the dis
ea>ed cows, and says he should have no
scruple in eating their flesh.
