Horse Cholera.

A terrible malady has broken out
among tho horses in New York
Brooklyn, Jersey City and vicinities
Moro than 10000 horses arc sick, yc,
few cases have proved fatal. Typhoid
Ldryngitis is the name given to the
disease by tho horse doctors, who de-
scribe its symptoms thus; The in
flammation Of tho throat extends 10
tho lungs and rapidly grows more
alarming, and whom coughing occurs
it is fcarfully convulsivc. The animal
stands in the stall as if benunbcd OF
paralyzcd his head hangs low, to the
floor, and his breath comes aud goes
with quick and sharp movement
His body Is quite warm, but his ex-
lremities grow almost icy cold. This
seems to be the warning OF the fatal
ending of the malady, and if il contin-
ues as widely prevalent as it now Is
for few days longer there can be
little doubt that hundreds of the
horses that are effected will droep and
die. Tho disease will have reached
its climax and the relapse after an ap,
parent improvement, as in the case Of
II human being, in a fever, will then
begin suddenly but fatally. The dis
order has also broken out in Philadcl-
phia and Baltimore, aud it looks now
as though it was moving southward.

The steam ship Missouri was
burned at sea on the morning OF the
22d of October, near the Bahama
Islands, aud about eighty persons
either burned TO death or drowned.
The alarm Of fire was given while the
guests were seated at breakfast, and
in less than forty minutes tho whole

New York Herald, in alluding to the
destruction of the vessel, says:

the destruction Of the BicnvilIe. A
sad picture of inefficiency and entire

presented by the mcagre reports.

broad daylight, when all the eighty
eight persons on board were wide

their wits. How could it be that the
flames were not promptly put out :
How was it that every Que Of the

Il True y'iesc Offhe Pennsylvania
Election.

The Golden Age, edited by Theo-
dorc Tillon, gives the following true
picture of tho recent election Penn
sylvania has given 10 the country the
best of all reasons why the Republican
party should be defeated. The Hart
ranit victory in that Stated victory
by dishonored over an honorable
mau-a victory whose swollen major
ity was heaped up by repeators and
magnifiod by fraud--a victory OF the
penitentiary and perjury -sueh a vic.
tory is worse than defeat. The Re
publican party of Pennsylvania com
mitted suicide on the Slh Of October,
Whom the gods would destroy they
frat made mad, ltnecds no prophetic
foresight to zee that sooner or later
there is sure TO be popular rcvulsion
against the Hartranft t''po Of public
service. 1t is generally confessed
that il this mans ticket had been left
to its own merits to sustain il, and
had not craflily borrowed an extra
ncous help from Grant aud the necessi-
stiles of the next Presidency IL would
have gone down into the dust under
the weight Of 1000 adverse majority.
The Republicans Of Pennsylvania,
therefore, stand convicted of voting
for Governor whom in their hearts
they despise, for the sake of re-elect-
ing Federal Administration which
thus becomes a partner 10 the frauds
OF the most gigantic OF State Rings.

GRASrIsM IN SouTH CARouNA -

A gentleman well known in the

Harmon, purchased plantation in
South Carolina in the year 1868. In
1869 he paid thereon $40 in taxes. -
In 1870 the taxes were 1888, In 1871
the taxes were s5l0 For the year
1872 taxes to the amount OF $1,000
were levied on the platform, where
upon Mr. Harmon abandoned tho
property. That simple fact illustrates
better than any argument the system
in vogue under Grants lieutonnnts in
the luckloss Southern country Ano
