THE HORSE DISEASE.

NEw YORK, October 23.--The horse
disease is spreading rapidly in this city
and vicinity, and is becoming more vlo
lent every hour There is not horse
car or stage line that does not suffer
more or less from the disease. Nc
horses have yet died rom the disease
and every effort is being made to con"
fine the disease to it's present limits
The Herald of this morning states that
within the past twen,y-'our hours iooV
horses in this city have been stricken
v;tb the disease. No fatal cases have
vet been reported. The disease. 1t IL
said, has also appeared 10 an alarming
extent amoug the horses belonging io
the Adams Express Company.
BUFFALO,, October 2S.-The horse
endemic 10 this city and at all po'n's,
along the canal is still prevailing and
has created great havoc. Many alal
cs.es have been reported this morning
The disease appears to have developed
itself into a more serious and fatai 'orm
than in Canada. There is scarcely .
horse to be seen ON the streets. ana al
th. canal boats are being toWed oy

From the New York Correspondence Of the
Buffalo Courierl
Mr.. Allison, the eminent car manu-
facturer of Philadelphia, has been stop
ping for few days at the house of a
Democratic friend in this city. He is
an earnest supporter of Grant and
worked bis nails off for the Hartranft
ticket. But if he keeps company with
knaves he is not fool, aud when
pressed home for an honest answer to
the question OF how many fraudulent
votes he supposed were cast on
Tuesday last, for the Moyamensing
candidate, he replied: "No! less than
twenty five thousand"
On my way home, last night, | fell in
with a company Of Reddys boys, and
found their company rather entertain
ing. They were just home from PhiIa'
delphis, having succeeded in making q
little pile OF visiting many polls, and
leaving the name Of Mr.. Hartranit
with the people behind the rail. One
party OF twenty five men, living in the
Eighth ward OF this city, drove around
the city of Philadelphia in an omnibus,
drawn by four horses, and voted at
forry-fve different polls, and wound up
the days sport by putting in second
ballot at the poll where they began
operations. They were supplied with
lists OF names by The. Allen to answer
to at each polling list, and were only
one OF four gangs from the Eighth ward
of this CITY. II the others did as well
as this, they alone added 1900 votes to
Hartranit's majority. One man, who
didn't believe in crowds, but quiet
business" admitted to voting sixty one
times-or, rather, as he corrected him
self, to putting in sixty-one ballots.
He supplied himself with the names OF
four or five men in each election dis
trict of a wealthy ward, and went early.
He voted for one, stepped outside the
door and allowed two or three others
to vote, then came back aud voted
again. Didn't the Charles trouble
you?' | asked. You're a little green
lambkin. They always told me when
it was time to leave tor another poll,
and | generally left" But the stories
they told of their adventures would cot
be credited. A reporter who went with
one Of the gangs voted at thirty.two
polls. He is writing q pamphlet, which
will be published next week, giving the
names and residences OF about two
hundred and fifty repeaters from this
city, with a full exposure OF the differ
ent methods employed.

From the Weston Democrat
A RemIntscence or Stonewall
Jackson.

Our friend John P. Peterson, who, BY
the way, relishes q good joke about al
well as any man of our acquaintance
tells the following unpublished reminis
ceuce OF the great TANKER:
When l wss quite a young man,
"StonewalI," who was then about seven
teen years old, was deputy constable
in this Lewis county. Close by my
farm lived a man named D., who
always paid his debts according TO la,c,
and not otherwise. Somebody had
sued the old fellow, and obtained iudg-
ment against him, ana young Jackson
was seat by the Justice to levy on sutti-
cient property to cover the execution
and costs. Armed with the authority
OF the law, Jackson (then mere strip
ling) went to the troublesome custo-
mer's farm, had some conversation
with him, and happening to see a colt
near by, which he recognized as the old
mans property. he Immediately levied
upon it, and told D. that he would
call for it on the following Saturday.
Great WAS the old fellows rage when he
discovered Jackson's errand, and he
swore big oaths that if jackson laid
hands on the colt he would kill him,
sure! On Saturday morning jackson
appeared on the farm again, and seeing
the old man, he asked him where the
colt was. He replied, profanely, that it
was in the stable, and il he attempted to
take it out, he would be the death OF
him. Jackson said nothing, but started
to the stable. On arriving there, he
found that D. had piled rails
against the entrance. in q way that
rendered it impossible to take the colt
out, without first removing them.
Without a word he commenced 10
throw them aside when D., seeing
that Jackson was not to be scared with
words, picked up huge sake, and
raising it high in the sir, made rush
for "the little constable" just as the
old fellow got within striking distance,
Jackson pulled out a small single-bar-
relied pocket-psto and pointed it to the
breast OF the unruly defendant. The
old feIIox halted, and cussed and cnssed,
but all to no effect. Jackson quietly
pulled down all the rails with his lett
hand, and kept the pistol in good range
with the right, and when he cleared the
entrance, brought out the colt, mounted
him aud rode off. This was done With
out a word of abuse on Jackson's part,
and as coolly as if he were engaged in
eating his dinner. ! was standing by
at the time, and have bad many good
laugh since at the rage and consterna>
ZION OF D., and the cool bravery OF
the "boy constable"

The South Carolina Hoses.

1t is a little singular that the Crane
organs refuse to raise . cheer over their
great moral victory" in South Caro-
lima. Why this studious silence? Why
not exult over the success OF Moses in
South Carolina as well as over that OF
Hartranft in Pennsylvania? Is not the
Southern ex-Spesker as pure q patriot
as the Pennsylvania Penitentiary can
didate2 Is not the name of Ransler
as good to conjure with as that OF
Yerkes or Cameron? Go to; because
Moses is not virtuous shall there be no
more Scots and Kimptons in the South
as well as in the North? And, then,
Moses is for Grant; with this intent the
Evening Express gives him the follow
ing frst-rate notice:
South Carolina has elected the man
for Governor who hauled down the
American Union flag in New Orleans,
and who, according to General DIX,
ought to have been "shot upon the
spot" But these old rebels, Mosby and
Moses, with General Dix, all stand
upon the same platform, and are all for
Grant. And yet such men are shocked
to see Democrats voting for Greeley and
Brown. This Governor-elect OF South
Carolina is one Of the worst Affections
heaped upon the Soutbern States. As
Speaker Of the Assembly at home, he
issued pay certificates tor 81 100000 10
cover $l50,0OO due to members Of the
last Legislature. This was but one OF
his accomplishments. Another was
with the Greenville and Columbia rail,
road, belonging partly to the State and
partly to persons. A ring, including
the State Treasurer, Moses. Crews,
formerly q negro trader, and
now Grant Senator in the
South Carolina Legislature; II. II.
Kimpton, financial agent Of the State
got control of the South Carolina State
bonds, hypothecated a part Of them in
New York city, aud, by using this
money, bought up all the stock Of the
Greenville road at sl.75 per share, the
par value being $25. They then sold
to themselves az individuals the State
stock at the same deprecated
figures, then procured legislation
to authenticate the eale, and
proceeded to issue bonds, procuring leg,
islation to endorse them for $2 SOL, 900;
and then, after disposing OF the bonds
and taking the proceeds, sold the road
for $4,000, eleven members Of the ring
receiving the large sum of 100000.

The San Juan boundary Question.
LONDON, October 23.-The written
judgment in the San Juan boundary ar
bitration between the Government oil
the United States and the Government
of Great Britain has already been given
by the jurists to whom the case was
submitted, and it now only wants the
signature of the Emperor William. 1t
decides in favor of the United States by
fixing the line of boundary demarca-
tion by the route of the canal De Horia,
the point which Great Britain disputes.
The cause of delay in communicating
the judgment is that Englisb intrigue
is on foot, the object OF which is to so
modify the Emperors judgment as to
cause the arbitration to be a failure,
Oio Russell, English Minister at Berlin,
therefore strives to prevent the Emperor
from acting on the judgment rendered by
the jurists aud is endeavoring to raise
a false issue. An editorial article was
published in the London Times, on Oc-
tober Is, which was inspired by the
Foreign Office. 1t presents the views Of
the English Representative at Berlin,
saying that the Emperor may decide
upon any one Of three channels and
fslsi6es the words OF the treaty. Should
Russell ia,l to get declaration favor
ing the intermediate channel for the
boundary, he is TO labor for negative
judgment. The efforts of Prince VIC
toris, wife ofthe Crown Prince, have been
enlisted by those engaged in the in-
trigue. Herr Won Bleichroier, Ger
man banker and an intimate associate
of Bismarck, is very useful in the MAJ
ter and has just heen appointed British
Consul General at Berlin.
His Royal Highness, the Prince Of
Wales, and Sir Hugh Henry Ross have
been created Marshals of Great Britain,
vice Sir John Buchanan and Sir Geo.
Pollack deceased.
