SALT LAKE, April 30.-The Third
District Court was opened this morning
by the Territorial Marshal instead OF
United States Judge Strickland, who
announced the decision of the Supreme
Court, and said he would recognize the
Territorial Marshal and Attorney Is the
executive officers of this court. At
tOrney High presented a certified copy
Of the decision of the Supreme Court OF
the United States i'm the Englebrecht
case, and in conformity with the ruling
therein, that the manner Of drawing
petit jurors since September, 1870, was
illegal,i moved leave to enter a ROUe
pros. as to the indictments found in
that time, and that the prisoners be re-
leased. The court ordered a ROIIc pros.
to he entered and the prisoners to be
turned over 70 the Territorial Marshal
to be released during the day, unless
steps were taken TO detain them. The
number that are to be set at liberty is
fOrty-five, including twenty-four for
murder, ten for lewd and %lasciyiOus CO.
habitatiOn, two for adultery, three for
riot, and three for libel. The court also
ordered the transfer from the United
States Marshal to the Territorial Mar
shall of some forty prisoners for various
crimes, not yet indicted.

SMALLPOX FLIES.
A Singular StOry-A Cloud and Sea Of
Black Flies.

From the ST. Louis Republican,
An almost incredible story comes
from the Indian ocean. The ship Al
thea, which had been on a three years
cruise in the Atlantic, Pacific, Southern
and Indian oceans, arrived at Mel
bourne, Australia, with only twenty
eight men, her original crew having
been foTty-five men. The rest had died.
Captain Arlington, the skipper of the
ship, told a terrible story of suffering
and death. He said that in November
last, when the vessel was near NADIA
gascar, q dense black cloud was discov-
cred approaching the ship. They inn
mediately prepared for a storm, such an
one as often happens in that latitude.
The cloud came on with a terrible roar
ing, and it proved to be a gigantic
swarm of black flies, which poured upon
the ship like anavalanche. They stung
the men to madness, and loaded the
ship down until she came near founder
ing. A{ter some hours of this horror
the plague was blown off by a mighty
wind that swept down from the
Red mountains. Sailors are SUI
perstitious, and they began to
be superstitious after this event.
The captain pushed on, however, re-
gardless of the circumstances of his
men, across the Mozambique channel,
seeing no more of the flies until near Sa-
fala, when they ran for a day through a
rotting mas of these insects that COM
pletely covered the service of the sea,
and filed the air with a loathsome
stencil. Eight of the men took sick and
five of them died covered with postules
resembling those of smallpox. At last
the vessel reached Sofala and found the
inhabitants suffering from the most ma
lignant type of smallpox, and dying in
great numbers. The physicians held
that the disease had been prOpagated by
these flies. The Althea fled from the
stricken shores; more men died, others
went crazy and threw themselves over
board, and the vessel plowed on toward
the ComOra islands through masses of
rOtting flies. The COmoro islands SEEM
ed to be free from the pestilence and the
wasted crew recuperated there. On
leaving there the voyage to Melbourne
was a constant battle with flies in the
air, their noisome stencil on the sea,
and all sorts of diseases on board the
vessel. Egypt's plague of flies in the
days Of Moses could have been no worse
than this.

Steiger for Islander.
At a meeting of the association of vet
eran soldiers and sailors who We're de
frauded of bounties by the swindlinp
operations of Collector Hermann, held
last night, a report was received stating
that suit has been instituted against An
drew Willmann and other bondsmen IN
the case for the recovery of the money.
Specials from Albany report that Judge
Cardoza has rendered his resignation In
anticipation of an unfavorable report
from the Judiciary committee. The
Times calls on the Legislature not to per-
NIT him to save himself from impeach-
ment by resigning.
The trial of Libbie Garrahrant for the
murder of Ransom Burroughs continued
yesterday at Paterson. A girl of ten
years, daughter of the supposed MUIR
dered man, gave evidence damaging to
the accused. The case still goes on.
A rllmor current some time ago was
revived yesterday, 10 the effect that the
Western Union Telegraph company is
about TO buy out the Pacific and Atlantic
line, and afterward raise their tolls. The
report was probably started by some one
who desired to bull the stock Of the West
ern Union company.

GENERAL WILLIAM A. qUARLEs.

From what we see and hear We
are satisfied that General William
A. Quarles viii be the Conservative
candidate for Congress in the Clarks-
vile district. If the people of the Sew
enth district are wise they viii readily
unite on General Quarles and unsni-
mOusly elect him to Congress, where he
viii reflect the highest honor upon him
self and the State Of Tennessee. He is
an eloquent, argumentative and telling
speaker, and his appearance in the Con-
gress of the United States would pre-
sage the return OF the days when Ten
nessee had giants in the councils Of the
nation. We regard General Quarles as
the possessor Of one Of the brightest in
tellects that adorn the South. Our
whole country scarcely bears upon
its annals a name mere brilliant,
OF more chivalric. Trained in the
school Of Andrew Jackson, General
Quarles early imbibed the noble princi-
piles and patriotic sentiments Of that IL
lustriOus friend Of the people. His short
but brilliant public life has been de-
voted to the honor, glory and welfare of
his country. All are familiar with his
courage, and the patriotism which he ex-
hibited in the late struggle for liberty
and independence. He has filed the
most conspicuous and responsible posi-
tons; the duties of all which he has dis
charged with consummate ability.
Moreover, no truer heart ever beat in a
manly form than that found in the
bosom Of General William A. Quarles.
His affections are ever stronger than
his resentments. He is IN of Tennes-
sees cherished idols, and we trust his
advent ON long and brilliant career
viii be ~signalized by and election to
Congress in November next.

HON. ]. ]. DUBOSE.
Call upon Him TO Ran for Congress
His Legislative Record.

EDITOR ApPEAL-Allow me the priv
iege Of making a few suggestions
through the columns of your valuable
paper. As the time will soon be upon
us wheu we must begin 10 look around
for a suitable man 10 represent us in the
next Congress, and while we have many
able gentlemen in our midst whose
claims l have no disposition to ignore, l
would Ike to direct especial attention TO
those we have weighed in the scale and
found equal 10 the occasion, therefore
would particularly urge the claims Of
our tOwnsman, Colonel J.. J. DuBose,
who SO ably represented Z district as
State Senator in the last Legislature.
His past record especially recommends
him to the dOwn-tnOdden taxpayers,
whose interest, he so nobly represented
i'm getting the ruinOus law changed, re-
ducing taxes from sixtyto fortycents on
tie one hundred dollars, while the most
odious features of the tax law were the
result Of enactments by previous Legis-
latunes.
Taxpayers should also bear in mind
the fact that Colonel DuBOse wa chair
man of the committee that drafted a bill
which was introduced into the legisla-
ture to reduce the salaries of county
officials to a reasonable amount, say to
four or five thousand dollars e rannum,
while the pay OF most of them, as the
law now stands, amounts to from ten to
twenty thousand dollars, and two Of
them from thirty to forty thousand dol
lars.
BY Colonel DuBOse's advocacy of this
bill il passed the Senate by almost a
unanimous vote. II the bill had passed.
the legislature il would have saved
Shelby county alone from fifty to sixty
thousand dollars a year. But the infiu-
enee of Ofice-holders, brought to bear
upon members of the House, which in
iuence concentrated at Nashville from
all parts of the State, purpOsely to kill
the bill, proved successful in accomplish
ing that object. These are only q few of
the bills of which Colonel DuBOse advo-
Gated and urged the passage. Colonel J.
]. DuBOse's constituents, in whose in
terest he so ably labored, should show
their gratitude in rewarding him as their
public servant by an Endorsement of his
acts ON his return. OF him they may
say "weIl done, thou good and faithful
servant thou hast done well, 60 and
do likewise. Let him be given the NOM
inatiOn for Congress from this district
At the next election send your delegates
10 the nominating convention to vote
for DuBose first, last, and all the time.
We hope that Colonel DuBOse will be
induced to announce himself as candi-
date for Congress.

Uncle Sans Retreat-The Carlists-ThC
Liverpool Strike.

LONDON, April 30.-The Times, of this
morning, in an editorial upon the pres
ent phase of the Alabama claims ques-
ton, congratulates the United States
Government for proposing that the liza
bllities of neutrals shall never extend
beyond the direct consequences OF
breaches of neutrality, thus, says the
Times, paving the way for a satisfactory
settlement Of the differences now exist
ing between England and America.
A special from Bayonne, France, to
the Times says there has been several
petty encounters between the insurgents
and the government troops in the
Basque provinces. In Trent, two hun
dred Imperialists routed twelve hun
dred Carlists. Reports are very CONTRA
dictory in regard to the Associated
cause. Don Carlos is on the decline.
On the other hand it is reported that his
prospects are exceedingly bright. Three
companies of Imperialist troops were
surrounded by a large number Of Car
lists but succeeded in breaking through,
inflicting a loss of fifteen killed. There
has been a tremendous decline in
prices in the bourse of Madrid. Ex-
IRENE Republicans refuse to recognize
the authority of Costello Fiquaras, be-
cause he discountenanees the insurree-
ton.
