WASHINGTON, Sept. 3, 1871
Parties who have just arrived here from Savannah
positively assert that there cases OF yellow fever
IN that city; but for mainly in regard to the
commercial interests Of the city there is a studied
method on the part OF the press TO withhold any
information on the subject from the public. II Will
be remembered that the same course was pursued
until the news reached neghoorIng cities that the
Charleston press would acknowledge that the fever
had actually existence IN that CITY, The strictest

\ Difficulty About the Treaty.
From the Mobile Register. !

From the Mobile Rogister.l
- We have not seen the text of Lord
RedeSdale'S argument in the British
House of Lords against the Washing
ton treaty, and know nothing more of
it than can hr gathered from second
hand sources, and that little is enough
to indicate that there was some pith and
substance in his objections. AS we un-
dcrStand them, they ran substantially
thus:
You (he United Statcs) claim dam
ages from us (Great Britain) for injuries
inflicted by Confederate cruisers, which,
rs you aiicgc, were fitted out by our con-
nivancc, or failure to hinder them when
we could and should have done so.
Even if this be true, Great Britain is
only scconCnrily responsible. She stands
only in the position Of an cndorser.
Your redress should in the first place be
obtained from the Confederate States
the party that inflicted the mischief
upon you. Failing in that, you might
have called upon us to make good the
reparation due. But you did not fail in
that. You conquered the Confederate
States and obtained the control of all
their resources. With what propriety,
then, can YOU call upon Great Britain
to pay damages for losses for which you
have already paid yourself, in full?
We do not see how this argument can
be answered without involving the
United States in an awkward dilemma.
OF course, the obvious answer would be
that the Confederate States already be-
longed to the Union; that they We're
never out of it; and that, in reducing
the leaders of the "rcbellion' to sub
mission, the Federal Government was
merely asserting its authority over its
own. But, if that be true, there was
no hostile power at all at war with the
United States; there was no recognized
enemy; and of course Great Britain
could not have been abetting an enemy
that did not exist. She was only per-
mitting vessels to be fitted out by citi-
zens of the United States.
Moreover, the Federal Government
has too fully committed itself to an ac-
acknowledgement of the bclligerent rights
of the tOnfedcr;tcy to recede from the
position. 1t has done so by exercising
the rights of II cOnqucror in II thousand
ways, and it could not rcpudiatc those
rights without complete selfcontraGlic-
ton and self-stultitication. INut, in
deed, is;t small matter as far as the re-
uuced States are concerned. There has
been no hesitation ut Inconsistency and
self-cOntradictiOn where the South alone
is concerned, but it is necessary to be
more cautious in dealing with Il formi-
dable foreign power.
In any case, we do not see how the
American Government can consistently
claim compensation for injuries received
from a bclligerent power which she has

The Value of Local Governmess.

There are but few, even of the Demo-
cracy, who appreciate fully the peril Of
this nation. 1t is admitted on nearly
every hand that our Government, un-
der the control of the Republican party,
has, for the period of that control, been
undergoing Il rapid and alarming
change; that the strong federal features
originally impressed upon the Consti-
tuition are fast fading away, and that
we are moving steadily into the for
nation of Il centralized despotism. But
| it has not generally been observed that
| we are incorporating into our civil pol
icy features which most centralized
governments arefrec from, and which
exist only in the odious tyranies. When
it is remarked that we are loosing our
right of local government, few appre-
ciate fully the extent of that loss, and
fewer still know that in 1oosing 1t the
most revolving military despotism fol-
lows us n natural and almost inevitable
consequence. Indeed, our ancestors
claimed this right under the British
Constitution, and when it was assailed
they regarded the provocation as suffi-
cient to warrant revolution.
n Radical Congress and Il drunken
President have in II few short months
deprived us of what our ancestors won
through seven long years of suffering
and blood. No more fitting illusrra-
ton could be suggested than the fool
who destroyed the beautiful temple
whose construction progressed through
ages, whose exquisite architecture was
that handiwork of genius and whose
altar was the repository of jewels.
These facts are worthy of cool and SOL
emn reflection. The people cannot re-
fleet too deliberately upon the charac-
ter of their rights, the source from
which they spring, and the fearful
price with which they We're bought.
Peace is alWus desirable and should be
the wish of cvcry good citizen. But
there is danger in the delusions OF q
safety purchased at the expense of all
that is worth living for. There was a
generous despair that sprung from the
high sentiments of our fathers which
made them too noble to he followed by
servile children. They presented hu-.
man nature in its grandest form. There
is something sublime in the record of
their glorious achievements. Kings
We're not only their pupils but their
suppiiants, and princes We're not re-
gar(led as targets to good for theirs rssvila-
nous saltpetre.'' They had n scorn of
danger and u fierce, tiger spirit, that
made them not only brave bat terrible.
They knew their rights and mains
tanned them. They plucked victory
from the very jaws of despair, and won
the right to live as freemen.--N Netu

Greeley and the Cnrpct-Ilnggrrs.

From the Geographic report we get
of Greeley's speech ut the reception
given him in New York the other
evening, it is quite plain that Horace
is profoundly disgusted with the car
pet-bng vag,bOnds in the South. We
shall await the arrival of the Tribune
with an authentic report of that speech
with no little interest. We take it for
granted that in all essential qualities,
in falsehOod, cowardicc, venality and
corruption, combined with an inortli-
nate and overwhelming desire to steal,
the carpet-hagger is the same every
where; and assuming this to be fact, we
are ut no loss to account for the disgust
which has caused the gorge of Mr..
Greeley to rise. Looking ut the vnga-
bonds who surrounded and took charge
of him during his brief stay in this
city, the wonder is, not that he is dis
gustcd, but that any decent man, any
one who ever associated with gentle
men, could encounter such cattle and
live! Webber and the "PcOria hog"

and High Court Brown, Chancellor

most disreputable in radicalism, consti-
tutcd the especial friends, guardians,
cOunsellors and protectors of Mr.. Gree
ley, while here, and we do not marvel
at his disgust. Fortunately for the
philosopher, the weather was cooler
then than now. With the present high
temperature we should not like to take
risk on Mr.. Greclcy's life; indeed, we
considered his escape at the time moth
ing less than a Providential intcrposi-
ton. If he thinks he can do such des-
perate things with impunity II second
time, we invite him to try it. He may
wear charmed life, but the moral
filth and villainy concentrated in his
entertainers will be altogether too much
for the sturdy vegetarian.

IL II Woman Better than an Ok?

We cali attention TO the first recorded
instance, i'm this country, of Harvesting
q won,an-a wife and II mother-aIong
side of II beast of burden. A Minnesota
paper says that back of Maiden Rock,
in Wisconsin,, at locality called Plum
City, lives II s'wcde, who, having this
spring bat one OK, persuaded his wife
to carry one end of the yoke in plow-
ing, while he held the plow, and their
boy drove. The woman labored at this
extraordinary employment for two days
but was then compelled to quit it, and
take to her bed, having ruptured an
internal organ in her efforts to keep her
end of the yoke oven. Two days after
She died the physicians called by the
neighbors .iNding it impossible when
they reached her to do anything for her

Many IL discouraged mother folds her
tired hands ut night, and feels as if she
had, after all, done nothing, although
she has not spent an idle moment since
she rose. Is it nothing that your little
helpless children have had some one to
come to with all their childish griefs
and joys? Is it nothing that your hus-
band feels "Safc'' when he is away to
his business, because your careful hand
directs everything at home? Is it noth-
ing when his business is over that he
has the blessed refuge of home, which
you have that day done your best To
brighten and refine? Oh, weary and
faithful mother, you little know your
power when YOU say, ''I have done
nothing" There is book i'll which Il
fairer record than this is written over

further, that no nation has any right to
make Il large public debt permanent in
its character. You found the soil here.
After you have enjoyed it, it should
pass to your children and children g

This is bold language, says II Georgia
paper, and will strike Il responsive cord
in the hearts of thousands who say they
have no part nor lot in the Federal
debt, and are not responsible for it.
OF Congress he thus discourses:
CONGRESS PURCHASABLE.
Think of it, that Congress is almost
an article of merchandise, as purchasa-
bic as any other commercial conmod-
ity. 1 have passed through the ordeal,
and, thank God, my hands have been
contaminated. In the future, if l can
have my name inserted as one who has
honestly toiled for the people, 1t will
fill my ambition.
Mr.. Johnson proposes the following
plan for the relief of the tax-burdened
people:
THE REMEDY.
Are we prepared to pay this interest?
Let us examine this principle. $4,000,
OOO, 10000 now in the vaults of this coun-
try and Europe. Here they lie a stack
of printed paper, extracting from the
labor of the country $l5O,OOO, 900, and
the cry is still "taXes!' Now I have
a plain proposition to make. These
bonds are made the capital of the Ma
tiOnal Banks, that prey upon the coun-
try like 50 many harpics.
Let the country have II greenback
circulation, and thus be relieved of
paying so much interest on the bonds.
Now let this $3.50, O,OOO,OOO of interest
each year be considered rs an annuity
paid on these bonds, and in sixteen
years the amount will be paid without
interest. Under this plan the bond
holders will be made to takc $3.50, ,OOO,-
900 each year on the payment of their
bonds, and as it will not be profitable
for them to rcinvest in bonds they will
look over the country to find out where
to invest to advantage, and thus this
capital will aid in manufactures and
general improvements, instead Of being
in safes, corroding and eating up your
substance. Capital and power are as
male and female. Capital wants pro-
lection, as the female does. Money
and power are always impressed with
each other. They form union, and
then power is absolute. Hence it is tc
the interest of the laboring portion o

"Ict Us March Against Phillips

From the Mobile Register.l
While the so-called "new dcparturc'
does not evcrywhcr" meet with favor,
nor work so harmoniOusly as the New
York World would have us believe, we
observe that however severely it may
be handled by the strongest advocates
of a strict adherence to the limo of prin-
ciplc, they all end, when looking at the
Radical party, with one accord in the
spirit of our title "a Let us march
against Phillip.' We have yet to see
the Democratic man or press that hints
at the idea of ceaSing to give battle to
Radicalism on account Of any discon-
tent with the Democratic alignment.
The paramount, common, dangerous
enemy is to be met ard fought under
all circumstances. 1ny change from
Radical rule must be for the better, be-
cause it is impossible that any can be
worse. The Democrats must storm and

TRANSMISSION of blood from II lamb to
I, man was performed in Wilmington,
North Carolina, last Friday. The sub
.jcct was Il colOred man, an inmate of
the city hospital, who has been suffer-
ing for some time past, and who has
lately seemed in danger Of death from
mere exhaustion. When laid upon
the table he was too weak to talk and
appeared to have but a few hours of
life left to him. When his vein was
opened but one drop of blood fell from
it. The carotid artery of the lamb was
opened, and the blood was forced from
thence, by the palpitation of the ami
MAILS heart, through Il small glass tube
into the patients cephafic vein. In
this way about eight ounces Of blood
was conveyed from the lamb to the
man. The operation was entirely sat
isftctory in its results, and the patient
is now doing very well.
