The Cattle Disease.

Mr.. Nj. Z. Richardson, who was ap-
pointed by the Chicago Pork Packing
Association to accompany Prof. Gamgee
in his tour of inspection among the dis
eased cattle in Illinois, has made report
to that body, in which he comes to the
conclusion, first, that the malady is not
an infectious disease, but a form of pois
oning due to native cattle eating OF
lands polluted by droves of Texas cattle;
that no system of medical treatment can
be relied on or conveniently applied that
prevention consists III the separation and
isolation of native from Texan cattle
which should be kept by themselves in
proper Enclosures that the winter trade
in Texan cattle can 90 on without the
least danger to native stock and that i'll
all probability, even in summer, under
Judicious treatment, Texan steers can
be cleaned of the poison which infects
them. Prof Gamgee concurred in these
views, and said there could be no doubt
that simple fence would prevent the
spread of the disease. 1t was his opin-

ion that crowding, ill-treatment or neg
lect of cattle in their transportation had
much to do with the spread of the mala-
dy. The same was not contagious. 1t
did not spread far and wide. vet it had
features like plague. When proper
treatment was shown cattle there WAS
little danger of the disease spreading.
The tick common among Texan cattle
was blamed for propagaiing the di~ca,,
to some extent. Such was Il false idea.
The poison in cattle inflicted with this
plague was vegetable and not mineral, a
was generally supposed; and was there
fore difficult to be traced. Some Texan
cattle shipped TO Illinois and other North

disease.

A Horrible Outrage,

A teacher of a colored school in
Breckenridge county, Kentucky, pro-
posed to have concert and exhibition
on Christmas Eve. She was warned
that it wouldnot be permitted, but still
went on with her preparations. The
exhibition was finally held in one of
the colored churches, which was pack
ed with the friends of the school and
children. Within a few minutes after
the exercises closed, but not until the
people had left, the church was blown
to pieces by the explosion of a keg OF
powder that had been placed Under the
platform on which the children were
seated, and probably touched off with
a slow match. All explosion during
the exhibition would probably have de-
stroyed the eiitireaudience,

PROVISIONS.

The bill repeating the charter Of
the Connellsvillc Railroad was struck
from the statute books of the State on
Thursday last, without discussion in
either House. AS the Bait. & Ohio
Road have about two millions surplus
capital and are the bona fde owners Of
the road, its early completion to point
ofconnection with the same is anticipate
cd. The signs are hopeful for the
passage of a general Railroad Bill,
and, of course, theinterests of Western
Counties brighten in proportion. If
the Supreme Court can have such in
fluencc upon our Legislators, why is it
that the voice Of the People is not more
potent?

by orcr one thousand majority. Last
November, adds the 1riJunej GAH.
Hays had only 24G majority in the
district. The result is especially graft
flying and auspicious from the fact that
the Democracy threw their whole
power, with Andrew johnson at their
head, into this frstelection in 1868; that
they did their utmost to get Que fact to
sustain their noisy clamor about Con-
gress being repudiated by the people.
Here was test case; it was Congress
rersus johnson Congressman was to
be chosen the district was to say the
least very close, and needed but the
change oftwo votes in a hundred from
last October to give them the coveted
victory. They canvassca the district
with great spirit; their new Senator
(NIr. Thurman) led the long list of
speakers, among whom wesnot Vallan-
digham. That they confidently look
ed for victory was shown by the outgiv-
ings of their leading presses.

which set IN last summer and fall, and
which, as we are told every day, the
present course of Congress is sure to
strengthen, received bad set back
A Republican, gain Of over seven hun
dred votes in a single district, since

applied to the whole State of twenty

the kind of encouragement the secession
Democracy expected. Their boastcd
