MALIGNANT TYPE OF ErIzooTIc.- Mr.. Joshua
Horner, large glue manufacturer in Balti.
more reports to the San, of that city, that al
this season of the year he usually receives from
81 TO % dead horses per week, but during
week before last, owing TO the prevailing cpl
demic, he received 10; but last week, imme-
diately after the damp weather, be received
co, showing that the exposure to dampness
and too early exercise had greatly increased
the fatality. DR.. Wayson, veterinary sur
geon, made numerous post mortem examina-
tons of the bodies for Mr.. Horuer, and found
that the disease developed viruent and ma
lignant character not heretofore noticed.
The horses exposed TO the stormy weather
of last week were found to be affected not only
with influenza in the bronchial tubes and
throat, but the liver and lungs, and even the
walls of the stomach were found diseased and
heavily coated with mucus, and in many cases
the lungs of the animals were almost -otted
away. Mr.. Horner expresses the opinion, from
his experience with the dead animals, that the
malignant form is invited by the exposure
and over-woIking of the animals when in a
weakly condition.

TIE HEALTH OF Mr.. GREELEY.-A dispatch
from New York to the Baltimore Sun, dated
Monday evening last, stated that it was cur
rently reported that Hon. Horace Greeley had
become insane. We learn from Washington
that the rumor created profound sensation
there, but private dispatches received in that
city from New York stated that Mr.. Greeley
was in dangerous condition from excessive
nervous prostration brought on by the excite
ment and anxiety of the late campaign, and
by the death of his wife and by an affection
which has overtaken his eldest daughter. He
has performed no mental labor since writing
the card announcing his return 10 the Tribune
but it does not appear that his intellect is i'm
paired, though his mental and physical organ
ization are seeking much-needed rest out of
New York.

A correspondent of the New York Jourp,

A correspondent of the New York Journal
of Commerce propounds the following inquiry:
and are doing business in New York.
A owes 81, goo, and gives check on a New
7 DIRK bank for the amount. Il owes his cor
respondent at Baltimore a like sum and RENTS
AS check to him. The Baltimore correspon
dent sends it on to Chicago, whence it is sent
to New York. Two days after the date of the
check the bank fails. Who suffers the loss?
The Journal says that the trouble all came
from the action Of 3, and he must bear the
loss. He should have drawn the money in
stead of sending the check TO Baltimore. If
the bank had been good for several days after
his Baltimore correspondent received the check
so that in the ordinary course of collection he
might have obtained the money by depositing
it in bank for this purpose, might have
transferred the responsibility to him. But as
it stands, B must make his remittance to Bal
timore good, and cannot come back on A, if
the check continued good for two days.

PARDON OF A KU-KLUx-The President has
directed the issue of u pardon to Reuben @
foung, of Alabama, convicted in May, 1872
of being implicated in a Ku-Klux conspiracy
and sentenced TO be imprisoned for ten years
and TO pay fine of one thousand dollars.
1t is now stated that the President intends
pursuing policy in similar cases based on a
petition for clemency signed by leading citi-
gems of both political parties residing in the
locality and familiar with the charges on
which conviction and Imprisonment were Sc
cured. II this be true, and we sincerely hone
II may be- it is greatly to be desired that the
good men of both parties will urge the release
OF all the ku-klux prisoners as soon as posi-
bic. Their incarceration reflects no credit up
on the government at this time. They and
their families have suffered enough, and now
in the midst of their rejoicing over their great
victory, it would be fitting finale to set these
prisoners free.
