The cattle. disease, which for man

The cattle disease, which for many
months has been attacking the cows,
bullocks, sheep and swine In Great
Britain, still prevails, and shows no
signs of abating in ~virulence. From
recent statistics 1t appears that animals
nre extensively affected by the disease
in thirty counties OF England, and in
twenty-three counties Of Scotland.
The "foot and mouth I" disease, ac-
cordlng to high authorities, has been
known: In Norfolk county, England,
for over thirty years, and no ~etfectual
remedy against Its ravages has been
discovered. Prominent English veto
rinary surgeons, however, are reported
az having arrived at the conclusion
that the disease, If allowed to run its
course without interference, seldom
destroys the affected animal.

The MELTED Coin, SILVER AND
NIcKEL.-The examination of the
fused coin received ut the United
States Mint In Philadelphia from the
Assistant United States Treasurer at
Chicago has disclosed the fact that
gold, silver and nickel have been fused
together. The chunks of rich material
had evidently been scraped up among
burnt rags and crumbled bricks and
mortar. 1t may be said that hundreds
Of dollars in gold r fused into one
solid mass with silver and nickel.
Some Of the gold coin, though In solid
masses, were not melted. These, to
the amount Of several hundred thou
sand dollars, have been separated,
counted and placed to the credit Of
the United States Government Treasu-
rer at Chicago.

Tnr Chicago journals, with great
unanimity, deny the terrible stories Of
the incidents Of the great fire, which
were transmitted by the letter writers
to the Now York newspapers. The
hanging and shooting Of inceudiaries,
the burning Of the prisoners at the
Court House, ~the'fearful profanities Of
homeless women Of the baser sort, the
robberies In the streets, are all asserted
to be "pure and baseless ~fictions."
It may be remembered that the origin
Of the fire was ascribed to the careless
ness Of a "Mrs. O'Leary," who had
taken q kerosene lamp into her barn,
where she had gone ut a late hour, to
milk her cow. The Chicago Tribune
publishes af1davlts from the accused
woman and her husband denying this
story, and asserting that 10 lamp had
been carried Into the yard or barn that
night or evening. Another affidavit
also shows that the accused parties
were in bed at the time the fire broke
out, and were rescued by a neighbor.
This unfortunate couple lost their
barn, five cows and a horse and wagon,
but saved their house, in consequence
Of the vigorous exertlons Of friends.
There seems, however, to be no doubt
that the fire In Chicago, on Sunday
night, October sth, commenced at tho
"O'Leary Barn." as n affidavit dis,
tinctly asserts that the alarm was
started by the discovery that the hay
in the Ion was on fire. The Chicago
tribune, In ajcarefully prepared arti-
Gle, states that not less than twenty
nor more than twenty-five per cent. OF
the total assets Of that city, including
both real and personal estate, has
been destroyed.

MARRIRD I'M CALICO.

A young lady In Chicago, whose
wedding was to have taken place on
Tuesday. October 10th, in church,
whose "trousseau," with all modern
elegancies, was ready, and whose
bridal presents were in a state Of
"forwardness," found herself on Mon
day, October 9th, minus "trousseau,"
presents, house and home. The other
substantial requirements for keep
ing house" were also = total loss. The
bridegroom was In a similar If not
worse predicament, and the church In
which tho ceremony was to have taken
place was a heap Of %blackened ruins.
Here was a question OF unusual i'm
portance before the joint family coun-
ell. But it ismore than probable that
II the young people went into the eau
Gus, they went III as people usually do
into conferences, with their minds
made up. For on Wednesday, with
only a delay or twenty-four hours, the
twain were made one ; the lady APP
pesrlns on the interesting occasion In
q calico dress, the only dress saved
from the fire. Tho gentleman. If he
Is a gentleman, as from his connections
he Is presumed to be, was habited in q
similar unpretending guise. No gem
tleman would outshine his bride on
their wedding day. As in all flash
Ion reports" the gentleman's costume
10 unreported, woman's rights in this
particular being rigidly respected.
The gentleman Is to be congratulated
on having found, in the ruins Of the
fire, q prize which he might otherwise
have been all his life discovering. He
might have worn the jewel, whose
price b above riches, all his days,
without knowing Its value. But the
great and terrible disaster, the date of
which will mark the beginning Of the
married life Of this young couple, will
equally mark the beginning Of their
nuptial happiness. Men and women
are much more useful and essential to
each other in poverty and adversely
than In wealth and prosperity. These
two, with life before them, have the
pleasure and advantage Of striving to-.
gether TO secure life's prizes. And
whatever Of this worlds goods and
conveniences they may secure will be
. joint acquisition-all the more val
liable that they have In their property
and belongings a mutual interest.
Moro than the usual degree Of conf
dencs must be felt In her husband by
a wife who dares to marry under such
circumstances.

| The Houston Union of the nineteenth
instant has this editorial.
Our latest information from Austin leads
| us to believe that the Republicans have
elected their candidates for Congress in the
First and Tuird Districts, Colonel Whit
| more and General Clark. 1t is probable
that the Democrats have elected their can
didate in the Fourth District and almost
certain that they have elected their candi-
date in the Second District:
But we renew the question which we
suggested yesterday. Should the governor
give certificates OF election as members Of
Congress to these latter men who. with
their party friends, openly and outragecusly
violated every element OF the laws, both
federal and State! Suppose they lad
strength enough to be clearly elected with
out counting illegal votes and after making
all the proper allowances for the number Of
Republican votes they kept away from the
polls 10y terrible and villainOus Ostracism: is
the simple fact of such inajorities sufficient
to cover up all their sins and outrages
against the rights of the people, the dignity
OF the State. and the majesty of the United
States Are these open criminals against
the laws OF the State and nation, these we'll
known traitors to and haters of the United
States government. to receive their certifi-
Gates from a Republican governor, pledged
IN the most remarkable manner to the
maintenance of law and order, and fair and
peaceful elections. without any mark of the
condemnation of the State government.
Have not these men during the whole
canvass. denied that Mr.. Davis was COVER
nor at all. denounced and deted his election
order. denounced the President OF the Uni
ted States, tearfully detained the State gov
eminent, and endeavOred to break it down,
met III a cOnspiratOus convention 10 inciie
the people into rebellion against the State
gOvernme mt. and urge them not to pay their
taxes, and done everything else that marks
party traitors and rebels, except the
overt act OF armed resistance! Aye. and
this latter element OF treason and rebellion
was not wanting. Their armed bands were
in every county in the State making war;
not upon the officers of the government, but
upon its friends, especially the more help
less-a safer course but equally as criminal.
The colOred people in the towns were lot
go much affected by these things. buc in all
country places, especially where the colored
people were few and feeble, they were de. |
tered from coming to the polls at all, by
hundreds ard thousands.
Let the governor refuse these men their !
certificates. Let them plead their cause |
before Congress. An airing of the villainOus |
and murderOus secret trickery Of the Texas |
Democracy before the grave body of our
at Washington would he |
very healthtul just now. Aud let our Re-
publican Representatives be there to plead |
The cause of the oppressed and prosecuted
Republicans of Texas against them. May
nap Congress will refuse to seat such men |
It all. At any rate, let the governor vind-
'ate himself and the people who have been
outraged. and put this mark of cOndemna-
ion upon them-witLhOld the certificates.
