Remedy for the Horse Disease.
-A practical farmer, who has had large
experience in rearing sheep, assures the Bal
timore american that the epizootic influenza,
which has attacked the horse with so much
virulence, is precisely similar to the malig-
nant distemper which sometimes destroys
whole Aocks of sheep. A year or two ago his
sheep were affected with the distemper, and
he cured them with the following simple
remedy:
Each sheep was caught and lighted match
held under its nose. The fumes Of the sui
phur and phosphorous entered the nostrils
and produced violent sneezing, by which all
the mucous secretions were thrown out. The
nose was then touched with tar, and the ami
NAL kept in dry place for two or three days
and allowed to eat nothing but soft food. The
cure was immediate, and failed in no instance
Mr.. Greeley at His old Post.
On the next day after the election, Mr.
Greeley assumed his old post as editor of the
Tribune, on which occasion he issued the fol-
lowing card:
"The undersigned resumes the editorship Of
the Tribune, which he relinquished in embark.
ing in another line of business six months
ago. Henceforth it shall be his endeavor to
make this thoroughly independent journal,
treating alt parties and political movements
with judicial fairness and candor, but court
ing the favor and deprecating the wrath of no
one. If he can hereafter say anything that
will tend to heartily unite the whole Ameri-
can people on the broad platform of universal
amnesty and impartial suffrage, he will gladly
do so. For the present, however, he can best
commend that consummation by silence and
forbearance. The victors in our late struggle
can hardly fail to take the whole subject Of
southern rights and wrongs into early and
earnest consideration, and to them, for the
present, he RENTS it. Since he never will
again be candidate for any Office, and is not
in full accord with either of the great parties
which have hitherto divided the country, he
will be able and will endeavor to give wider
and steadier regard to the progress of science,
industry, and useful arts, than partisan jour
nal can do; and he will not be provoked to
indulgence in those bitter personalities which
are the recognized bane of journalism. Sus.
tanned by generous public, he will do his
best to make the Tribune power in the broad
field it now contemplates as when human free
dom was in peril it was in the arena of polit-
ical partisanship. HORACE GREELEY.
Release Of DIR. Bratton's Bondsmen.
BY the following despatch from Wash
ington, dated on Friday last, it will be seen
that the United States government, upon the
demand of the British government, has re-
leased the bondsmen of Dr. j. Rufus Bratton
from further liability:
"The British Minister has called the atten-
ton of the Secretary of State to the case Of
Rufus Bratton, citizen of South Carolina,
who was forcibly abducted from Canada last
Spring by an American detective named
Hester, assisted by Canadian official named
Cornwall, who was recently sentenced to three
years imprisonment, the principal witness
being DR.. Bratton. 1t was not supposed that
any further mention would be made of the
case, but it appears that Bratton was released
by the United States authorities on bail, and
not returning to South Carolina, the sureties
were informed that the bail bond would be
forfeited if Bratton did not return. He there
upon appealed to the British government for
protection.
The British Minister under instruction from
the Home government, reminds the Secretary
of State that Her Majesty's government does
not tolerate interference with her laws, and
that the proceedings against Bratton, having
followed his abduction from British Territory,
that they must be cancelled. The Attorney
General has, therefore, instructed the United
States District Attorney Corbin, at Charles
ton, to dismiss the bail bond and discharge
the sureties of Bratton, and to place the pro-
ceedings against him, as far as practicable, in
the same position as before his forcible abduc-
ton from Canada.
Perfectly Resigned.
- The Petersburg Appeal, Conservative
is resigned to the reelection of Grant, and ex-
presses its feelings in the following good
humored strain:
As the "late lamented" wac :" he habit Of
remarking, "we are reminded Z. Il little anec-
dote." There lived in the Valley of Virginia
during the late war very worthy old gentle
man who was a justice of the peace, and dis
tinguished for his devotion to the Confederate
cause. Through every hour Of darkness or
sunshine he held to the conviction that the
Confederacy could not fail; that it was foun-
ded on principles as solid as the bases of the
eternal hills, and must prevail. He was in
the habit of going to the post.ofice, few miles
from his house, to get bis mail and hear the
news from the war. On such occasions the
postmaster would ask his opinion of the situa-
tion, and have himself fortified by the old
squire's hopeful views. Finally, however,
about the close of the war the news became
worse and worse, until at last the intelligence
of the surrender arrived. The sad tale hav-
ing been recited to the old patriot squire, he
took his seat and assumed thoughtful atti
tude. The postmaster then began to interro-
gate him.
"Well, Squire, things are looking very
dark !"

black, indeed-very black"
"What will become of US p inquiries the
postmaster "what shall we do?"
"Well," says the old squire, after drawing
a long breath, II don't see anything left us
except to 20 back into the Union, and if those
Yankees don't behave themselves, we must
suhip them againr'
We have another Grant Administration vo-
ted upon US, which we will have to make the
best of for four years from the 4th Of March
next. We will have to accept it; but one
thing is sure, if those Radicals don't behave
themselves we will beat them again. We are
not in the least discouraged.
