Germany Checking Emigration

| BERLIN, Nov. 16.-The Imperial
German government has issued an
official Cabinet decree, signed Stzen-
plitz, Minister Of Commerce, com.
| manding, in the name ofhis Majes'
ty Emperor William, tho German
railway companies to discontinue
the practice of transporting emf
grant passengers unless full rates
of charge are paid both for the per-
sons and baggage in transit.
Hitherto tho German railways
direction has carried emigrants
| from the Prussiah and other prov
inces of the Imperial territory to
the seaboard at a very low scale OF
rate for the passengers and with
the baggage Of each one free, thus
on ncouraging emigration.
The Imperial government decree
which has Just now been promulga-
ted is arbitrary and obstruets the
emigrant exodus movement by in
creasing the difficulties of the trav-
elers in their endeavor to reach
the homo seaboard for embarka-
tion.
1t is said that the German gov
ernment continues to be much dis.
quieted by the largo dimensions OF
the emigration to America. 1t is
stated that, according to authentic
advices in Berlin, the number OF
persons leaving the country for tho
transatlantic United States is grow
ing in such proportions that by the
lst of January, 1873, the figures
will he double what they were in
the years preceding the latc war
with Franco. As usual the bulk OF
tho emigrants are young men anx-
ious to avoid military service. 1t
was in reference to this movement
that tho circular from the War
Minister, by tho Emperor Williams
orders, was issued last July. AS it
has seemingly had no appreciable
effect in checking the ever-wide-
ming stream of the fugitive rush, a
second circular, couched in more
threatening terms than the first, has
been published. - -.
This latest War Office paper re-
calls to the youths in question that
they make themselves liable to the
soverest penalties by the course
they adopt, and that if they persist
in It they will be treated "as out
laws for life."
At the same time special serv
ice is being instituted for the more
effective surveillance and supervis.
ion of the districts from which the
emigrants mainly come.
But, in spite Of all this, the emf
grafton to America has been only
slightly affected TO the present
movement, when the German rail
ways are being compelled to assist
in the work of its repression.-For'
neys Press.

Cos and Johnson.
The Toxans had in this engage
ment five killed and about forty
wounded. The Mexican loss il
killed is said to be over 300 ant
about the same number wounded
!; The terms of the surrender were
that the Mexicans should doliver
to the Texans their arms, nmmuni
tion and artillery, and all military
stores, .nd return to Mexico, never

Capt. Ward thon returned to
Now Orleans and received q regi
ment of mounted mon, and was
commissioned Colonel by President
Burnett. He returned to Texas in
May 1886, and served in the cam
paign with Gen. Rusk.
At subsequent period, Colonel
Ward lost an arm while firing a
salute in honor of the independence
of Texas. Soon aftor the lndepen-
donce of Texas was achieved Gin
1910 or 1S4l) he was appointed
commissioner of the General Land
Office, which position he held for
seven or eight years, and tho re,
cords of that Office give evidence OF
his high executive ability.
He has been Mayor of Austin
four times between 1S40 and 1865.
In 1853 be was appointed d Consul
at Panama, which position he fill
cd with distinguished ability. In
the winter of 1867 he was appoint.
cd collector of customs at Cor.
pus Christi, which Office he held
for two years. He was q candi-
date for Commissioner of the Gen
eral Land Office in 1869, being de-
feated. In politics Col. Ward has
always been u Democrat of the
Jackson school. He was opposed
to secession, and did all he could
towards allaying bitterness Of feel
ing.
Col. Ward was ono of natures
noblemen, a thoroughly informed
man, industrious and prompt in
his business habits, wrote finely
with his left hand and possessed
weight of character seldom met
with.
But the old patriot and hero is
gone. Like the weather-beaten
oak, which has been shorne of its
limbs, and then prostrated by the
storm, he has fallon, and the quiet
tomb envelops all that remain of a
perfect man.

No. S--Enchanting Scenery-Little
Lake.

Perhaps there is no place in the Rocky
Mountains where beauty and sublimity
are more intimately blended than at the
Little Lake. This sheet of clear and trans.
parent water is ten or twelve miles long,
and six or eight miles broad, hemmed in
by large mountains rarely accessible. On
the northern shore the rocks descend per-
pendiculariy thousands Of feet and arc lost
In the profound depths Of the lake below.
On the southern shore, the mountains are
less abrupt and one may descend with
great fatigue, but no great personal dan
ger, to the shore. On the east, the surf
rolls and braks on q sandy shore, remind
ing one Of Old Ocean. At the western ex-
tremity, the outlet finds its way through
dark chasms and abrupt precipices, final
ly emptying into Bear River, near the
Soda Springs. The ravines Of the ada
cent mountains are filled with trees and
brush wood, which in the fall present q
picture Of surprising loveliness. The TO-
iisge If the trees there present every tint
Of colors, from the brightest scarlet to
brown. These with the sublime mountains
that enclose them are reflected on the
CLASSY stiffness Of the water, and, taken in
connection with green islands and wood
ed promontaries, countless focks ofswans
and pelieans that float in undisturbed Sc
CURLY over the bosom Of the placid waters,
contrasting with the huge mountains OF
the deep that are seen rolling and tu nb-
ling shout in the billous, altogether pre-
sent picture that, once seen, viii scarce
ly be forgotten. This lake is of exactly
the right size TO be seen with all its sur
rounding beauties o; one glance from some
convenient eminence, and be who sees 1t
win scarcely tire Of gazing on its varied
besutiss. W. AT.

The Epizootic.

This dread disease is certainly
upon us. Wc visited last evening
almost every livery stable, and
have good reason to believe that it
exists to greater or less extent at
all of them.
At the Eclipse stable there arc
ono or two we'll developed cases,
At the other stable, corner Of Post
office and oath streets, belonging
to Gregory and Bartlett, however,
nearly all of them are more less at.
fected. AT Stighort's stable, hecoR
fesses that all of them have the dis
ease, and he is smoking them with
coal tar. At Heler's stable they
all have the disease, and are con-
stantly coughing. At the City
Railroad stable We learned, at II
late hour last evening. that five
mules have the disease. We should
not be surprised, Mt any time, to
hear of n suspension ofthe running
of tho cars, if the disease continues
to spread. III
We have heard, also, of a great
many dray horses and mules, and
one or two buggy horses that were
attackod yesterday on tho streets.
So far as we can learn from those
who have been where it prevailed,
rs we'll as from the kilograms and
the newspapers, tho disease itsels
docs not appear to be very fatal,
unless pneumonia or lung fever in
tervenes. From what We can learn
of the disease, the moment the
symptoms Of the disease mako
theii appearance the animal should
have rest and prompt medical
treatment This should be contin-
ued until the animal is thoroughly
recovered, rs there is great danger
of relapse, or that the disease may
assume more malignant type.
IN HOUSTON.
From the Houston Ago, nov. 80.
The much-talked-of and much
dreaded horse disease is certainly
in this city. We have had occular
demonstration of the fact. In COM
pany with Mr.. Spann, tho boot and
shoe dealer, DR.. Burroughs and DR..
Poulson, we yesterday afternoon
visited the livery stable of Mr..
Freund, near the iron bridge, and
there We found as many as fifty
horses suffering from the epidemic.
A cough, running at the nostrils,
general languor, and an inclination
TO stiffness of the limbs arc the
most marked characteristics of tho
disease. Mr.. Freund has closed his
stable. His horses are not allowed
to 90 out for any purpose. DIR.
Cooper, veterinary surgeon, has
them under treatment, and thinks
lin ten DAYS tho stable will be clear
of the disease. Every horse is kept
closely blankctcd; is exercised at
Intervals, along the stable walks,
and is drenched with some prcpa-
ration the doctor uses. We observe
borses-and other vehicles-cough-
ing on tho street, and shall expect
the disease to be quito prevalent in
q few days. 1t is not considered
Internationally ever kills-but
NAV last much longer and leave
the horse injured in his system If
too long worked or exposed after
Ihe is attacked. The best plan,
whenever horse begins coughing,
| is to take him from work, blanket
him, and keep his nostrils drenched

THE CINCINNATI SOUTHERN ROAD PROS
PECTS

The Railroad and Law Committee of
the Cincinnati City Council had a meet
ing ON last Thursday to investigate the
status of their Southern Railroad and the
best course to be pursued under the cir
cumstances. Miles Greenwood appeared
on behalf of the Trustees. He said they
had expended S67 900 in surveys and were
not vet through. He said the route pre-
scribed in the charter had not yet been
surveyed and he did not seem to think
the Trustees were bound to build on that
line. He seemed to be confident that the
kentucky Legislature will remove the OBJ
jectionable conditions of the charter, and,
individually, said he would not be willing
to accept it and go on with the work un-
less they were removed. Mr.. Ferguson
had given it "a his opinion that the impo-
sition of the tax imposed on passengers
and freight was unconstitutional at any
rate-an opinion in which Mr. Theodore
Cook did not concur, he regarding it as
part of the contract, and binding, if ac-
cepted, as q condition of the right of way
through the State of Kentucky.
The committee solicited the opinions of
Mr.. Joseph G. Butler and Mr.. y. e.. Net
Teton, as to the effect upon the city's cred
it of issuing bonds to the amount of ten
millions of dollars or twenty millions of
dollars. They believed the effect would
be to depreciate it. In the opinion Of the
former, the road constructed and equipped
would cost not less than twenty-six mil
lion dollars. t~r
Mr.. Cook, said, from consultations he
had recently had with gentlemen of large
means of this city, he felt prepared to say
that if the city would buy the Kentucky
Central Railroad, (Which, he thought,
could he done for about So, 100000 after the
pending suit is decided and lease it-that
is, virtually give ito company of re-
sponsible men that would be started if such
Willingness were expressed, that company
would build three lines of Southern rail-
way connections-to Nashville, Knoxville
and Chattanooga The enterprise had
taken no definite shape as yet, but he felt
justified in saying that such a company
would very speedily he formed here if the
city would agree to make the purchase in

WHERE Is THE DIsAFFEcTIoN'


A farmer in Illinois, on one occasion,
applied to his family physician for medi-
cal aid, for" said he, they say the
neighbors are all dying with fever" The
doctor intimated that there must be some
mistake about it, for he had heard nothing
of the epidemic. But the farmer persisted
in his story. To ascertain the truth of the
report, the doctor began inquiry about the
neighbors by name, taking in the whole
neighborhood for miles, and ended by
finding that his alarmed patron was not
able to give q single instance upon which
to base his extravagant and sensational
story.
The incident has its moral. We hearvery
much said Just now about the widespread
and universal disaffection pervading THERE
publican ranks. We hear that everywhere
the people are dissatisfied with President
Grant and his administration. Is this so q?
In what better way can we decide this
question than by pursuing the policy of
our Illinois doctor? Apply this test at our
doors. How is ii in East Tennessee ?
Who is dissatisfied Is there any evidence
of dissatisfaction here? we say deliber-
ately, and after investigation, that we do
not know of a single Republican in all this
section dissatisfied with the President. On
the contrary we have peculiar facilities for
knowing that his administration has
strengthened us. Before accepting these
stories. then, of universal dissatisfaction,
let us examine our own section. What is
true of us, ought TO be true of others, and
applying this test we are compelled to be-
lieve the alarm of some over-sensative
friends unfounded.
But while we believe this, we are yet
mindful of the fact that in all such mat
tiers as choosing candidate for President,
we must all be charitable and liberal. We
see no reason or excuse for reading men
out of the party because they do not agree
with us on these matters. We need the
help of every Republican in the coming
important canvass. On the eve of an i'm
portant battle prudent general does not
divide or demoralize his troops. We need
to make mutual concessions and deal fair
ly and literally with each other. Unreas-
enable and turbulent spirits there are in
every party.
Leaders are always to be found who
want to dictate, but there is a way to ST.
lence even them. Let the party in its GUS
tOmary way choose its candidates and de-
fine its principles and policy. After this is
done, those who are not with us are against
us, and then it is time to close the doors
and determine the status of those who still
! rebel. Until then, we have need to bt
| charitable and prudent. So far as we are
concerned, fully satisfied of the wishes OF
the Republicans of Tennessee, we favor
| the denomination of Gen. Grant, but We
shall support the nominees of the Phila
| delphia Convention if they should not bt
| our first choice. If those who oppose Gen
Grant will do the same we shall present {
united front and meet with success, beyond
any question.

UNION WEN A UNIT.

.etHJ0 t.SFEftt H-5N saEfE.ftRtf
The Republicans of Tennessee under
stand full well what Democracy means.
They have frequently felt its prescription
and unconstitutional legislation. They
know that In Tennessee there can be no
halfway ground. Men must here, be
either for or against the Republican party
with its glorious record and its promising
future. They are therefore content tovote
for its nominees and support its
principles. They tried division and a
" liberal policy in 1869, and it resulted
i'm putting their necls under the heels
of the present tyrannical and corrupt par
ty-a party that has most shamefully and
cruelty used its majority and the power 1T
holds. The people of East Tennessee
know its spirit and purpose very well, and
they will be very slow to lend it in any
way encouragement or support.
The Nelson's, the SEWERS, the Baxters
and the Gauts of East Tennessee have
been made to feel its intense ma
levolence and its Ceep-rooted proscrip-
tive policy. They have been cut down one
by one, and been made to feel in many
ways that when Democracy was in the
minority their influence and zeal were
cunningly used and appreciated, but that
now, when they were no longer needed,
the spots on their record make them
unavailable and USELESS for further politi-
cal uses. We do not wonder that these
presided and abused men should
turn from Tennessee Democracy to find
more congenial associations. Let them not
tarry longer. Their old Union associates
in East Tennessee would be glad to battle
with them now against Tennessee Demo-
cracy as they did in 1861. They can not
meet them, however, upon any third par
~ grounds. This is no time for division
of forces. The time is not opportune.
The great battle this year is to be fought as
it was in 1868 between the Union Repub-
lican and the Rebel Democratic parties.
They must choose between these parties,
and their course ought to seem very clear
to them.
Democracy in Tennessee is very differ
ent thing from Democracy in Ohio or Con-
| necticu. The course of this party in Ten
nessee leaves them no alternative. They
| cannot continue to act with men who de-
| spise and prescribe them. ET

VALUE OF THE SIGNAL SERVICE.

The value of the Signal Service to the
shipping interests of the country is illus
trated in a comparison of the losses sus-
tanned by vessels at sea in 1870 with those
of 1871. The comparison for November
and December of the two years is as fol-
lows: Total number of vessels destroyed
in 1870 was 1865, and men lost o. in 1871
vessels lost were 233 and men lost %. In
this classification of losses the number of
vessels wrecked by high winds in 1870 was
80, while in 1871 it was Is. These casual
ties occur only during storms, which
the signal service are able to foretell and
give warning of. If these were the re-
suits during the first year of the signal
service, it is natural and safe to predict a
still more satisfactory showing for the COM
ing season, when the system will be in
complete and thorough working order
along the great lakes and the seabord, du-
ring the entire year.
