THE CORRUPT LOUISIANA JUDGE =
Judge Durcl Of the I. S. Court, who upset
the Government Of Louisiana, was brought 10
disgrace by his reckless pcrverslon Of law, be-
fore he usurped power over that State. The
Supreme Court Of the United States, in Cash
VS. Jcrlell Oh Wallace 2OOl. in overriding one
Of this mau's decisions. administered such a
rebuko as nowhere else has been uttered in
the history Of the court. This was its lam
gnage:
1T is seen from the bill and decree that
while the United States was not made de-
PENDANT. and while it is well settled that it
could not be sued in the court below, the only
relief prayed BY the bill was relief against the
United States. and the only decree rendered
which was not merely formal was a decree
against the United States for over 5000 900,
and a further decree barring her right to assert
her priority as a creditor Of the bank n the
distribution of its funds.
1t is strange that in any court protesting
to administer the English system Of equity
Jurisprudence such decree could be rendered
against any one not party to the suit, and
who had in no manner appeared in the case
ana i. is almost Incredible that 10 any Federal
court Of this Union. except the Court Of
Claims, a moneycd judgment could be rendered
against the United States. Rich. Dispatch.

FAUQUIER COUNTY. "A letter from Upper
vile, in the Richmond Enquirer, says:
This. before the war, was the great grazing
county of the State, bu: the losses consequent
upon the war have SO crippled many of our
people that they cannot buy stock 40 largely as
before. However, many very fine cattle are
still fatted for the Georgetown, Baltimore, and
New York markets. and with the exception Of
the year II, the profits have been more than
handsome. Men have grown rich since the
war by furnishing the cattle and having then
erazed for half the profits making sometimes
p per cent in less than six months. One of
my neighbors realizes profit each year Of
nearly $4,000 from his cattle alone. Yet, in
spite of all this, much OF our best grazing land
is 10 market, and there seems to be no buyers,
scarcely. Good lands may be now bought for
less than for forty years before, upon which a
man of fair judgment. with application 70 his
business, could be guaranteed certain profit
of at least Is per cent. % cattle alone. The
best evidence of the estimate in which our
lands are held by our people who know them
is the fact that men Of capital raised here.
seldom 90 elsewhere to invest 1t.
A few days ago part Of farm, near this
place, belonging to Mr.. y. LII, was sold to a
gentleman in the Deighborhood to1 so per
acre, just $25 less than it would have brought
at the commencement of the war This * Que
of the richest and most productive farms in the
county, and has always We'll repaid, in gcner-
Gus crops, the labors Of those who cultiVat

Chattanooga is not the least excited
over the few cases nov existing there,
and although several cases Of cholera arc
known to exist yet the psop!o think so
little of it., that not one Of them can tell
Just how many there are in the place.
The general feeling throughout East
Tennessee is that King CholerI has about
completed his work in these regions, and
has departed for other parts.
1t is reported that one man was dying
with cholera a. Nlorristown yesterday as

We can expect nothing else than to have

RAILROADS AND RAILROAD
OFFICIALS.

We trust those Of our citizens who
have been heretofore inclined to look
upon tho establishment of Railroads in
this country as a public calamity, and
upon Railroad officials as q set of human
sparks whose only object in life was to
slaughter all the Innocent swine, sheep
and cattle that came in the way Of their
murdcrous machines, will be inclined to
take a more charitable view of the sub
ject when they learn what Railroads and
Railroad men have done for our afflicted
town during our recent troubles. In The
first place the Railroad has transported
free Of charge all the physicians and
nurses that came from abroad to assist in
caring for the sick, and collins for the
lntcrmcnt Of the dead. 1t has also car
ried supplies of medicines and provisions
provided by sympathiziug friends at diff,
fcrcnt points, without compensation.
In addition to this, an examination of
our list Of contributors to the relief fund
will show the names of Capt. Jacques and
c. NJ. McGhee. Vice>P Presidents of the
Road who gave fifty dollars each, and a
number of other Railroad employees WHO
contributed literally for our benefit. 1t
is TO be hoped that the habitual grum,
blors against all kinds Of public improves
ments will at least give the Railroad eff
Gals credit for that liberality which their
own narrow minded souls have never been
able to approximate, and cease their
croaking until they have shown something
of the spirit which has actuated these be-
ncvolent gentlemen in their noble efforts
to succor the unfortunate.

men in the bloom of youth and pride of
manhood and womanhood were suddenly
stricken down, and before a physician
could reach them, they became pulseless,
and death had plainly marked them for
his own. For several days there seemed
to be no escape but in instant fight from
the scene of pestilsnce. Later in the
course of the epidemic, our physicians
seemed to have discovered a remedy
which checked it, and it is hoped that a
valuable discovery has been made which
may in the future strip cholera of its ter
rors and relieve other infected places from
the terrible scourgo to which VIC have
been subjected.

THE CH OLE
Pathology and Treatment.

The following communications to the
Knoxville Chronicle, by Dr.. WIN. r..
Sewer, VIC republish for the benefit Of
our readers. DR.. Sewer is a physician
of long experience. He has a mind nat
uTally given to scientific Investigations,
which, with bis experience in the treat
ment of diseases of all kind both here
and elsewhere, entities his opinions to
more than ordinary consideration at the
hands of the professional as well as the
general reader.
In a letter to tho Chronicle, dated
August 6, 1873, he says:
"EDIToRs CHRONICLE: | had hoped
to have an article in your issue of to-
morrow IN the subject Of the prevailing
cholera, but my duties in the present

carefully guarding the property of those
who were absent from the d~epredations Of
those who seek such opportunities for ply>
ing their ncfarions vacations. His SER
vices have been invaluable to the citizens
of JoncSboro', and should never be for
gotten by those he has so faithfully aud
efficiently served. We trust the time is
not far distant when his valuable services
will meet with their appropriate reward.
There are also many others who deserve
the highest need Of praise for their noble
efforts in behalf of the afflicted. First
ana foremost we would mention Drs. W.
r. Sewer and Il, L. Deaderick, in behalf
of whose courage, skill and professional
ability too much praise can not beawardcd.
To them, in a high degree. is due the
credit Of alternating the suffering of those
stricken down with the disease, and of
arresting its further progress in this CON-
munity. There are others who have also
rendered important service in behalf of
the suffering, who should always be re-
membered with grateful hearts by the
people Of Jonesboro'. Below We give a
partial list of those who remained to look
after the interests of the sick:

Mountain Retreat.

This lovely and quiet retreat" situa,
ted twelve miles south of J%onesboro' and
eight miles southwest of Embreeyille,
has become in the last three weeks quite
a noted place. Several of the stock,
holders of the property known as CLARK
SEring'' hayeing erected convenient and
substantial cottages, are now occupying
them and enjoying themselves as well IS
they possibly could under the eilcum>
stances. 1t is true the sad news daily re-
ceivel from JoneSboro' during the time
of the prevailing disease had a saddening
effect, for it was expected on the arrival
Of every courier to hear of the death of
some dear friends who were willing to
remain in the doomed city aud risk their
own lives for tho good Of the sick and aE>
flicted. Now since the news is all favor
able for those who have survived the ter
rible scourge, it has an enliyehing inau-
cncc and we can notice a marked i'm
proyement on those who were SO greatly
depressed.
The grand old mountains, tie salu-
brious breczes, the romantic scenery and
the quietude of the place causes a pleas,
ing sensation to those who have long been
deprived of rural life. The pure cold
mineral water that bubbles from the
mountain base, is invigorating and reStor-
ing to health the weak and feeble, and
causes a desire with many of the citizens
to remain for several weeks to enjoy the
the great restorative luxury.
Nolachucky and Cla.k's Creek are rich
with different kind of fish, and every
day can be SEGA some of our citizens
waiting patiently on the bank for a nib.
Die, anu they are generally richly re.
warded for their trouble.
Croquet is the popular game, old and
young amusc themselves with the ball
and mallet.
Owing to the excellent medicinal
quality of the mineral water at this place,
the rich and fertile country along the
riter, the romantic scenery, etc., VIC
would not be surprised if Mountain Re-
treat in a few years will be one of the
most popular watering places in East
Tennessee.

There are ''times that try mems souls"
and there are also circumstances that de-
velop men. Many previously obscure indi.
vidoals, who, under ordinary circumstances,
avoid notice, in times of great public
emergencies come forth and exhibit at
once all the qualities that distinguish the
hero from the common man.
Tho late fearful scourge of cholera in
Jonesboro', while it has in many cases
developed the weakness and natural timid-
ity of some individuals, has caused Others
to exhibit, in a marked degree, that true
heroism which knows and appreciates the
danger before them, but prompts them to
face it from a sense of duty. Among
those who have distinguished, nav, i'm
