Diseased Cnttle.

New YORK, August l0.-Thero is
some excitement in the city over the re-
port of large trains of diseased cattle
being on their way here from the west.
Ah Investigation of the slaughter hous-
es at Communipaw yesterday disclosed
the fact that most of the meat there
was diseased.
Over one hundred carloads of cattle
have arrived at Bergen since Saturday
and sixty-nine arrived at Communipaw
yesterday.
About 100 head of diseased cattle
have been killed at Communipaw anC
placed in tanks for rendering. The
market is seriously affected, and the
price for live stock has fallen off con-
siderably. The demand for beefat res
taurants has also fallen off. Guards are
to be stationed at all railroad lines 10
prevent the shipment of deceased cat
tie here, and every cattle train will be
accompanied by competent medical
officer. One instance of sickness from
eating diseased meat is reported, but
prompt measures ofthe Board of Health
will prevent further cases.

The Little Game in Louisiana.

The wandering lllinoisian who writes
himself Governor of Louisiana has
made, we hear, san official requisition"
upon the President for a military force.
According to the Constitution o. the
United States Cart. w. Sec. ~ he has
no right to do any such thing, the Legis-
lature of the State, 60 nomine, being in
session and alone authorized to make
such demand; but, passing over this
informally, which proves this official
requIsirion" a mere carpet-bag impertl-
hence, it appears from what this Hi
noisian has to say that very terrible
state of affairs exists in louisiana.
There is no protection, he declares, Ia
the courts: men are shot down
in the streets; men, women, and chill
dren have been murdered in one parish;
and prominent Unionists beset by des-
peradoes in another, &c, &c, &c. We
do not believe one single word of it.
This man Yarmouth, the pretended Gov
ernor, is, if we mistake not, the same
Yarmouth who was cashiered from the
Thirty eighth Missouri Regiment, at
Vicksburg, by General Grant for, in
plain terms, lying, aud was after that
Buffers provost-marshal at New Or
leans. Campaign horrors are dubious
at any time, but coming through this
kind of channel are beneath contempt
Radicalism, is on its last legs, and as a
desperate resource is Matching horrors
The little game has been played toe
often to win.-WOrld.
