Rayagcs Of the Great Washington Plague-Terri-
BILE Mortality at the Cnpitol-List of the Dis
tinguished Dcad-M Melting and Metrical Trib-
utes to their Memory--"Ihe Evil Men DO Lives
After Them"
The terrible and widespread ravages
of that extraordinary disease called
Credit Mobilierare alarming the whole
nation. The cpizootic was as mild as
the measles compared 20 it. 1t has
already carried of many most distin-
guished victims. 1t did not come
from Canada like the epizootic, nor
from Asia like the cholera, nor from
the West Indies like tho yellow fever.
1t is believed to have started in Penn
sylvania, and, meeting with a favora-
bic condition of the atmosphere in
Washington, District of Columbia,
stayed there, and was developed by
reason of the defective sanitary ar
rangements in the political system of
the Capital. Great sympathy is felt
for Massachusetts, go many OF her dis.
tinguished citizens have been swept
off. The subjoined list of deaths will
be read with painful interest by the
public. The notices arc inserted
