SAN Francisco, September 25.-The
! American consul at Callao reports that the
| smallpox is epidemic in many of the sea-
| port towns between Valparaiso and Panama.
| The letter of the American Consul at
| Callao, adds In one hospital at Santiago,
Chill, out OF titty-eight patients entered in
one week, ffty-siX died, and as there are
eight or ten such hospitals in that city you
can conceive its destructiveness. The DIS
ease is making its way steadily to Calla0.
The board OF supervisors in addition to
their action reported yesterday passed an
order submitting to the people a PROPOSE
tion to give a subsidy of $250O 600 to the
Central Pacific Railroad Company to con
struct bridge across the bay to San Fran
cisco at RavenswOod, thirty miles south of
this city. Before the vote was taken the
supervisors were served with an application
for an injunction from one of the district
courts on the complaint of a number of citi-
zens who charged that the supervisors had
been bribed for $500, 900 to pass the pend
ing orders in the interest of the monopoly.
Disregarding these sworn charges, the su-
peryisOrs proceeded to take final action in
favor of the measures thus protested
against.
A legal investigation of the facts will be
had. Public sentiment appears to be
almost a unit against the action of the
supervisors, and both. the subsidy schemes
are certain of rejection by the people, a
vast majority of whom favor the indepen-
dent thirty-ffth parallel road in connection
with the Central Pacific as the only means
of release from its oppressive domination

CLEVELAND, September 25.-During
speech, MIR. Greeley denied that he said at
Nicksburg, a year ago, as had been falsely
charged, THAT the time would come when
the soldiers that fought with Lee and John
son would occupy. as proud q posi-
ton in the hearts Of the American
people as the soldiers who fought with
Grant and Sherman" No such words
as these ever escaped my lips. No such
thought as that ever entered my head.
What he did say, speaking of the war
wasted, heart-broken people, was that he
trusted the dav would come when the SOL
dierIy qualities and military genius Of Lee
and StOnewall Jackson would be regarded
as part of the heritage of the American
peoples that they would be spoken OF as
American soldiers in a cause which, though
a bad cause, illustrated the military capa--
city, genius and energy of the American
people.
