THE CATTLE DISEASE
GREAT LOSS OF CATTLE IN NOD.

We were told yesterday, by n reliable gem

cattle had died from il IN around that

The disease was introduced by several
droves Of Texas cattle which were brought
into the neighborhood and put at grazing
with the native cattle. As soon as the
latter commenced TO die so rapidly, the
citizens held a meeting TO rid themselves
Of the Texans, and they have been shipped
away. The native cattle take the disease
from grazing with and after the other
cattle. The stricken cattle get weak, eat
nothing, droop, ears hang down, aud the
head drops to the ground. II they can
reach water they viii go into it, and stand
there until they die. Tho disease is rs-

WHEREAS, The prosperity Of the whole
country. depends largely upon the success
of it's agricultural interests; and:
WHEREAS. These interests are greatly
depressed by reason Of excessive freight
charges upon the transportation OF its
products; and,
WHEREAS. It is evident that our present
means of transportation is entirely made
ouate to meet the demands Of our increas.
ing production and commerce; and,
WHEREAS, 1t is the duty, as it has been
the policv. of our government to make such
apnropriations from time to time as are de-
manded nv the necessities Of our commerce {;
therefore,
Reso1ved. By this convention of farmers,
composed of delegates from. the different
farmers organizations Of the State, aud
representing constituency of more than
200, 900 farmers, that we demand that the
necessary appropriations be made by Con-
press at its present session, in accordance
with estimates already made by United
States engineers, for the opening Of a north
ern water route for large vessels, by the
construction of a ship canal around Niaga-
ra Falls, the opening Of the Gulf route by
the improvement of the Mississippi and
Illinois rivers, and Of the central route by
the completion Of the Kanawha canal and
the improvement of the Ohio and Kanawha
rivers.
Resolved,. That we invite the cooperation
of all interested in this question, both pro-
ducers and consumers, in an earnest effort
to obtain the passage of bills at the present
session Of Congress for the accomplishment
of these improvements.

Resolped, That the right 10 control char
tered monopolies is an inherent right of
the people, and cannot by Legislative action
be alienated from them. Tie leading fea-
lures of the present railroad la" seem just.

oppose its repeal or essential modification
BY the present General Assembly.
ResoIved. That the Civil Service system
of this Government, as for Il long time adj
ministered, and as illustrated by the appli~
cation of the principle ITO the victors be-
long the spoils." is dangerous to the integ-
rity and even TO the perpetuity OF our re-
publican institutions. We condemn it in
this, that it Identifies the interests Of ap-
pointees to Office with the interests of the
dominant party and the appointing power
rather than with the Government itself. 1t
makes the appointment to places Of respon-
sibility and and trust the reward Of party
services, these appointments frequently be-
ing mere sinecures. 1t furnishes lever of
tremendous power to influence public opin-
ion, and to determine the results Of elec-
tions. 1t is a school Of political corruption,
and temptation to unfaithfulness and dis
honesty, and we call upon our statesmen to
study its evils, and present more thorough
remedy than has as yet been proposed for
it's defects.

the Illinois river and canal so that barges

they reached the Gulf, where they could
transfer their cargoes to vessels bound to
the Eastern market. the saving would be
very great. 1t would open navigation at
least a month earlier in the spring, and q
month later in the fall, while from Cairo
down it would be open all winter It
would give US not only an Eastern market
for our corn and pork, but Southern one
also. The only reason that the bulk of the
grain export does not seek that route. es-
pecially in winter, is because of the OBJ

To the Editors Of the Dispatch

To the Editors Of the Dispatch
A resolution has been made and adopted
BY our Common Council In regard to a
park, to which the " drive must be several
miles, and diversified with field, wood, and
water scenery" and committee appointed
to devise and perfect . scheme and plan for
perfecting such work and obtaining the
means therefor; and the city or town OF
Manchester is invited to appoint q like COM
mittee to confer with and aid in devisiDg
and carrying out such project. Now, Messrs.
Editors, would it not be we'll to have another
resolution from the Common Council to this
effect that the western drive, by way Of the
Free Bridge, from Richmond to Manchester,
shalt be Immediately made and Improved By
a bridge spanning the Basin, thatnot only the
committee who are invited to unite IN
the Park scheme may not have such a cir
cuitous route to travel to the hall Of the Com
mon Council, but that our Manchester friends
may see their good ,corks, and then be will
ing to send said invited committee to aid In
this admirable scheme. Our Manchester peo-
pie and their friends, to reach our parks, as
the avenues now are, on Byrd's Island
would have all the scenery desired before
reaching the city, and would be deferred from
desiring TO 90 any further Ia search Of
pleasant drives. In water. scenery along
their southern drives they surpass us, with
the noble James for many miles riding our
majestic steamers and vessels.
Give Manchester every facility for access to
our city, and her people will be the more
willing to assist in carrying out our plans for
improvement and pleasure. *.

me to call attention to "Chimborazo

bile place for public park at tue eastern end
Iof the town. The people of Church Hill
have repeatedly petitioned for park In that
section, but our Council have not thought
proper to give it much attention. Our city
needs two or three parks convenient to the
people places that our wives and children
could walk to and spend an hour or two In
the afternoon-and from which strangers
could view the city and its surroundings.
We have no objection to the City Council.

places for show and style. Give US, the
people, Monroe Park and park on Gam

talk about going up the river, and we will
make no objection. CHURCH HILL.
