There was considerable CONSERVATION ycster-
day in the New York stock market, and feeling
OF general insecurity concerning railroad prop
erty, caused by the announcement that the
Directors Of the New York Central Railroad had
authorized the issue of $40, 900 in new stock
or bonds,-th alleged object being the laying Of
additional tracks. This intelligence was followed
by the announcement that the floating debt Of
the Chicago l. Northwestern Railway Company
was SO great that the Directors had authorized
the issue Of 10,000,0 1000 additional bonds. To
this it Was added that the Directors Of the Chi
cago l. Rock Island Railroad Company had also
authorized the issue Of additional bonds to the
sum Of $40, ,O00, 900. This addition of $50, 900
to the debts and liabilities OF these three railway
companies had a depressing effect upon
the whole stock market, quotations falling
from q to ~ cents. It was also understood
that the St. Paul j. Pacific Railroad, which is
leased to the Northern Pacific, WAS in trouble !;
the 1aborers on the road having suspended work
because oflarge arrearages Of pay. How far the
necessities Of these companies are felt by other
railways is not disclosed, and hence there Was q
slight panic in stocks. Money loaned to dealers
in fancy stocks has been called in, as if more
serious troubles we're looked for. Ifhalf Of this
money were loaned to the mercantile commu-
nifty for legitimate business, it would make little
difference how savage panic the stock-gam-
blers might got into.

A PLEASANT AFFAIR.

At the close of the discussions between the
Western Associated Press and the leading repre-
eentatives Of the Western Union Telegraph
Company, which took place ut the fremont House
yesterday, the adjourned session occupying the
afternoon, the members present we're the guests
of Hon. VIM. E. Orton, President OF the Western
Union Telegraph Company, at dinner at the
fremont House, given in style which John
Drake did not part With among his losses at the
fire. As the host, 11r. orton presided, Mayor
Medil occupying chair at his right. Fifteen
or twenty gentlemen, representatives Of the
press and telegraph interests, sat down to the
enjoyment of the occasion, which, after the ad-
mirable table service ended, was succeed
ed by O very happy flow Of speech, par
ticipated in by Mayor Aledill, in response to
sentiment in honor Of Chicago, followed BY

Commissioner Davenport, in New York, is rap
idly earning the honor Of being the most dis
into any house he chooses, to inquire of o nuns
wife the particulars of his business, and, if size
excludes the rufian, Davenport issues c warrant
for her arrest, Or the arrest Of her husband. He
claims to have this authority under the act Of
Congress. It is hardly necessary to say TINT no
authority exists, under any act Of Congress, to
authorize any officer to enter any house and
compel the inmates to tell him where, when, or
how long any person has resided in any place, or
what such persons business is. or anything else.
This kind of despotic espionage should be
brought to etop by tile arrest, conviction, and
punishment of Davenport and his subalterns.

The annual report OF the Commissioner Of
Agriculture contains some valuable matter
touching the disease which is now raging among
the horses Of this country, showing its origin,
and the liability Of man and other animals to
take it by contagion. According to the authori-
ty Of the Commissioner, the Epizootic Apthne,
though prevailing in Central Europe for nearly
two centuries, reached Great Britain only in
1889, Denmark in 1871, and America in 1870.
His testimony shows that the disease Was first
brought from Europe by cattle, which were
shipped from England in August OF that
year. and spread it among the Canadian
CATTLE At different times in the latter
part Of that year it was brought into Duchess
County by droves from Albany, and spread wide
" thence through New York and into Massachu-
sets. The Commissioner asserts that the only
cause of itself capable of transmitting the dis
imal diseased, while the indirect means for the
diffusion of the virus are the accumulation Of
cattle in large fairs or markets, and the travel Of
stock by rail and road. According to the best
testimony, this virus can bo carried on the
clothes. boots, and hands Of men, in
bundles Of hay or straw, and may
be preserved on the walls, floors,
managers, and drinking g-troughs Of stables, and
may even be carried on tie legs and bodies OF
dogs, chickens, and rats, which may themselves
escape the disease.
That the disease may be transmitted to other
animals besides cattle and horses is proved by
the testimony Of all the writer's since 1885. In
young animals. feeding exclusively On milk. it

Lyman Trumbul1 in the past, and ought
to be prouder OF him now than ever before.
One Of the questions presented to the people
at the present time is whether they will e1-
change Senator Trumbu11 for 'tDicl1'' Og1esby,
or Dick anybody else. We have one firing
tailed squealer" in the Senate from Illinois now.
Do We want two?
The principles We contend for will outlast tho
present struggle. Very few Of the supporters
of Grant will vote for him because OF any liking
they hayo for him or his doings. 7lost of them
detost his San Domingo performance, his Leet
d Stocking job, his nepotism, his policy toward
the South, his personal government, his low
grade OF appointments, his disregard Of law. At
all events, they have few apologies to offer for
them- They expect breaking up of parties
during the next four years. Why should it not
come now? Is it likely that Chandler, Morton,
and Cameron, the ruling spirits Of the party,
will reform things to their own disadvantage if
they Ere successful now ? On the contrary, there
is every reason to believe TINT the evils which
drove Sumner, Trumbull, and Schurz out Of the
Republican ranks will be multiplied from this
time forward, and that sheer sef-respect will
force out of the party multitude Of men in
pubEcandpriyate station who have put the brakes
on their Indignation this year, because they
fancied that there was still some remnant Of
danger to the blacks. The Liberal party is the
place to which must gravitate all the progressive
elements of Rociatv IT. ia tha on1v r7artv which
has future grounded upon the present needs
of the country, and looking forward to q higher
standard of public morality and responsibility.
Let us give it. therefore, in the coming election,
our manifest efforts, and trust to the intelligence
and virtue of the people to rescue the Republic
from party despotism utterly crushing to indi-
vidual manhood, and fraught with all the dan
gers that spring from sitting Of private con-

Over three hundred horses in Chicago, and
forty at Evanston, are sick with the horse-dis-
ease. A large number Of the animals of the
West Side Railway Company arc affected, rs are
all those at Parmelee's stables. Fifty belonging
to the West Side Omnibus Line are under treat
ment, and the disease is spreading among the
private stables AL the stables in town have
been ordered by DR.. Rauch to be disinfectcd,
and the Illinois Humane Society has given notice
that it will arrest any person using diseased
horse. Prudential motives alone should restrain
horse-ovners, Us it is said that the disease, II

hundred deaths yesterday. The curious state
ment comes from New jersey that fifty COVE

member, and that, as Mayor, be signed the war;
rants for the payment of the money. The Court
has decided that, as Mayor, he had no discretion
as to signing warrants for bills when passed by
the Auditing Board. The evidence is so strong
that Hall had nothing personally to do with
auditing the bills that the prosecution is now
claiming that he is responsible, because he neg
lected to do SO. There is no pretenco tl1ct Hall,
in any way, shared in the robberies, or was
anything but contemplate tool used By others.
How far his neglect or omission to take part in
auditing the bills leaves him legally responsible
for the frauds, is a matter yet to be decided by
tho Court. Morally he is as guilty as my Of

The New York Herald thinks that, notWith-
standing the Pennsylvania and Ohio elections,
Gree1ey's chances Of carrying New York are bet
ter than Grants. This is the testimony Of an
unpreiudiced and well-informed observer, and
should inspire the Liberals of Illinois, Indiana,
and Wisconsin to diligent and unremitting exer-
tions during the few days that remain for work.
We believe that Governor Koerner and the Lib
eral State ticket will be elected in Illinois. It is
certain that thirty or forty thousand Germanvotes
heretofore cast for the Republican nominees at
all elections, will be transferred to the Liberal
ticket next Tuesday. This is sufficient to give
the Electoral vote Of Illinois to Greeley and
Brown, if the Democrats go to the polls even in
the same numerical proportion as in Ohio and
Indiana, There still remains a large Liberal
Republican vote of American and Scandinavian
descent, to be thrown into the balance. There
has been no abatement Of the attendance at
the Liberal meetings in any part Of the
State. The crowds that have assembled to
hear Senator Trumbull, Governor Palmer, Gov
ernor Koerner, N1r. Hendricks, and the other
speakers now canrassing tho State haVo been
even greater than before the October elections,
and the enthusiasm hos in no degree abated.
We therefore tell our friends everywhere to be
Of good cheer, and to work faithfully to the end
The Grant party in Illinois are alarmed at the
evident danger Of losing the State, and have
sent pressing appeals to Cook County on that
subject. They are fully persuaded that if they
lose this county the State will go against them.
There is a Legislature to be elected next
Tuesday, upon which will devolvo the choice Of
q Senator Of the United States. Among all the
men who have deserved well Of their contempo-
raries and of posterity by refusing to say that
black is white, in obedience to Executive desires
cnd CAUCUS despotism, Lyman Trumbul stands
pre~eminent, To himself it can be matter of
| little moment whether he is returned to the
Senate or not. He could achieve no higher
fame among American statesmen than he has
| already acquired. His reputation rests upon
secure foundation, md when the
present spasm 0; partisan rage shell have passed
away, it will be acknowledged BY all fair-minded
men that ho has acted most noble and honora-
ble part in setting himself against the corrup-
tions Of the party to which he belonged, and IN
| declaring that he would not be responsible for
| them by helping to re-e1ect the men who have
| sanctioned them. One such example is worth
more tkan senatorship or Presidency. 'lhe

sion OF the bearing Of the recent decision in the
United States Circuit Court at Deslloines, con-
cerning the Republic Fire Insurance Company
of Chicago, the Court make a public statement
that the only point decided in the case WAS, that
against Btockholder for the unpaid stock held
by him, because such personal liability attaches,
according to the charter, only on assessments
made. because the losses by fire exceed the mems
of the Company, which was not the pretext for
the assessment on which this action Was based.

stomach and bowels. Il has been frequently
noticed IN chickens, and dogs and cats, after
drinking milk have been observed to have
it. It's transmission to man has also
been noticed during every great out
break Of. the disease, and cases were
observed in New York in 1870. It's symptoms IN
man are slight feverishness, and the formation,
on the tongue md inside the cheeks, Of small
blisters The Commissioner, while he states
the accessories Of the disease, unfortunately
suggests no remedies for it,-a neglect which is
ell the more to be deplored in that the disease
has now made it's appearance in this city, and
the wet weather which has set in. will undoubt-
edly tend to aggravate it.

We belieye that the public will read with uni
yersal regret the announcement of the death OF
Mrs. Horace Greeley. After a lingering and
painful illness, Mrs. Greeley breathed her last
at 4 o'clock yesterday morning. She has been
an invalid for many years, and, though possess
sing the advantage of the best medical treat
ment, and the necessary change Of climate in
extensive travel. she WAS forced to succumb to
the insidious disease which had attacked her.
Her loss will be severe shock to Mr.
Greeley, who has always held the associations OF
domestic life to be the dearest and most sacred
Of all. Mrs. Greeley leaves three daughters,
who will grace her memory, and one Of whom,
at least, has attained accomplishments that will
make mark in both society md literature. Mr'
Greeley NEE q constant and untiring attendant
ut his wife's bedside up to the last moment.

The frauds committed in San Francisco year
ago, where 1900 men, on the eve of the election,
we're put at work in the Navy Yard, and then on
election day given the Republican ticket,
printed on stiff cards which could not be folded,
and thus compelled to vote it, are being repeat
ed On larger scale. Several thousand extra
men we're put at work in the Philadelphia Navy
Yard, lust before the election, and used for the
came purpose. It is now announced that 5000
men have been employed in the Brooklyn Navy
Yard, preparatory to voting them next Tuesday.
There is no pretance that there is any work for
these men to do; they get 3 weeks wages for
political labor outside, and will be discharged
after the election.

strengthen and develop the relations OF the
press and the telegraph, and further the advan-

THIERs AND PRINCE NAPOLEON.

According to Washington despatch, the
President has congratulated II. Theirs upon the
SUCCESS OF the French Republic. The step
which the American President has taken must
have been induced by one Of two reasons:
either he has misunderstood the SUCCESS Of the
French Republic, or he has recognized in the
idea OF military force, which is all that gives the
true secret of Republican success. One recent
episode in the history Of II. Thiera' experiment
is o sufici emit test Of this SUCCESS, and
will raise very wen-grounded question
whether there is any special CAUSE for
oongratulation in the premises, least Of all from
acountry where the civil power is in reality the
only basis Of good government. We refer to the
expulsion from France Of Prince Napoleon and
his wife, the Princess Clothilde. letter which
the Prince has recently addressed to h. GreVy,
President of the National Assembly, and the
Permanent Committee, protesting against his
expulsion, and declaring his intention to ask for
reparation from the competent authorities, sets
forth the capriciousneBs and groundless charac-
ter Of II. Theirs action, and shows that his rep
resentations to the Permanent Committee, that
the Prince had come to France to surrep-
titiously conspire with III. Rouher, the ex-
Minister Of Foreign Affairs, and that
his journey had seditious intent, were either
the outgrowth Of personal hate or that he took
counsel of his fears. The Prince, in this letter,
which is very plain, modest story, shows that
he is French citizen in the full enjoyment OF
civil and political rights, and a Councillor Gem
eral for the Department Of Corsica. In 1871,
being out of Trench territory proper, he COM
Piled with the laws, and asked for 3 passport
from the French Consul General at Genera, who
granted him one after consulting wi6h the
General Government, which bore the WORDS
"Good for France. Delivered by order OF the
Government, 18th October, 1871, valid for one
year" Armed with this spassport, hemade frequent
visits to France during the year, without inter-
ference. and relying On this right, which had
