NEW HORSE DISEASE.

A disease far more fatal than the epizootic,
which ragged so fearfully and with such disas-
trous results among horses, has broken out in
portions of Ohio. AT Akron over seventy
horses are affected and about twenty-five or
thirty have died from it. The Beacon, of the
above named place, says that among the
symptoms of the disease staggering gait and
loss Of appetite seem to be the most promi-
nent and prevalent, accompanied with VIC
lent cough and fever. Postmortem examna-
tons have shown that the lungs were partcu-
larly affected, these being black and rotten.
great deal of inflammation was noticed
about the case Of the heart, and tie condi
ton Of the liver evidenced a great deal OF
bile in the blood. The mucous membrane
was also highly infamed; in fact shattered
state of the system was manifested. The loss
of appetite, leading veterinary surgeon con-
tends, is the first dreaded note of the disease.
for as the animal refuses to take nourishment
and drink it Is almost impossible, in many
cases, to effect The fatal cases in Akron
thus far have had a run of eight days, and as
the weather grows colder the fatality in-
creases.

d. Appleton G. Co. have added another val
liable work to their International Scientific
Series Its title is, "The Science of Law
The author is Sheldon Amos, barrister-at-law,
also Professor Of Jurisprudence in Univers-
ity College, London. This is not a work ex-
pressly for law students, but for all such as
are engaged in Studying the physical or NOR
al sciences. Its scope is broad. 1t is not
confined to telling what law is, but shows how
laws are made, what is their operation upon
the mass of mankind, and to what purpose
they should be directed The headings to
the several chapters give an idea of the book
and are as follows: Recent History and
Present Condition of the Science OF Law; Prov
ince and Limits of the Science of Law; Law
and Morality The Growth of Law; Elemen
tary Conceptions and Terms; Law in Rela-

POLITICAL.

The railroad interests of Pennsylvania are
urging the claims of William A. Wallace,
democrat, State Senator and late President of
the Texas Pacific Railroad Company, for the
seat in the Senate now occupied by Scott, re-
publican, whose term expires on the 4th Ct
March next.
Senator Morton is very likely to RETAIN in
California all winter, and Senator Logan is in
such poor health that he does not expect to be
of much service at the next session. The in
fia,ion party will consequently be short OF
leaders in the body where they need them
most. Perhaps if Senator Morton stays long
enough in California he will learn by practi-
cal experience that gold as a medium of cur
rency is not such a relic of barbarism after all.

INDIAN DECISION.

The Supreme Court of the United States
has recently decided that the Indians who
maintain the tribal relation, and who occupy
reservations assigned to them by the United
States, are really only tenants of the proper
ty, the fee remaining in the United States as
the owner of the property. Probably the
Court has at last reached the correct and
practical solution of the long vexed question
of the relations of these tribes to the nation.
Their independent sovereignty has been one
of those indistinct theories that has proved
costly and mischievous; it is something like
the democratic theory of State sovereignty
The most direct effect of this decision will be
the annulment of score or more of rascally
and fraudulent contracts with the Indians for
cutting timber on their reservations. This
whole business of dealing with the Indians
has always been marked with more or less
fraud and especially these timber contracts.
Hereafter, if the privilege of cutting away
these forests is granted to any one, it must be
done by the United States direct, and not
thorough the irresponsible Indian Agencies.
No one will regret the calamity that has over
taken these spectators. Chiedgo Tribune.

The New York observer is paper which

democrats succeeded in obtaining the
power to elect United States Senator,
they chose for that position the most no.
torious copperhead in the State, whose
vote in the Senate will be cast every time
for the Objectionable principles of the class
which he represents. BY the elections
this fall the democrats have the power to
elect several United States Senators. Up
on whom do they propose to bestow the
honors at their disposal? In New York
it might be supposed they would re-elect
Mr.. Fenton. He is a liberal republican.
the lieutenant of Mr. Greeley in the cam
paign Of ~, the ally of the democracy in
that fight, and entitled by his position and
service in the coalition to a re election at
the hands OF the democrats, if they have
any regard for the rights and claims ofthe
liberals. But so little respect have they
for their republican allies that the name
of Mr.. Fenton is not mentioned as y can
didate, while Horalio Seymour is the IA
vorite. In Missouri senator is to be
elected to succeed Senator Schurz. The
democrats have q majority Of the legisla-
ture and can elect whom they please. Sem
ator Schurz was President the convention
at Cincinnati which nominated Horace
Greeley for President, and acted with the
democrats as liberal republican; why
ehn,,1J bo pr Io rot I,rpp1 n fhn Spnntn ly-
the Missouri democrats? Because they
are determined to have Bourbon in the
Senate, one upon whom they can depend
to vote for measures acceptable to the
friends of jeff. Davis. In Pennsylvania
the democrats have the opportunity and
power to elect United States Senator,
and upon no other than Jere Black. Mr..
Buchanan's old Attorney General, do they
propose to bestow it. And thus tend the
democracy everywhere.
Thus it appears that liberal republican,
ism has proved a perfect fiasco. Its or
ganization is gone, its leaders are treated
with contempt by the democracy, and the
hopes with which they started out have
ended in disappointment. Were Mr..
Greeley living to witness the condition of
the party to which he became sponsor, he
would Indignantly turn his back upon the
democracy and return TO the republican
party, whose principles he honestly be-
lieved in and from which he became sep
arated by but temporary alienation and
the alurements of ambition.

The Calais Times is not far out of the
way, when it says, in speaking of the am
munition that is being expended on the
Senatorial question:
Every daily in the State may unite in op-
posing Mr.. Hamlin, and he will not lose halt
dozen votes in consequence. The same pa
pers may unite in advocating his claims, and
his strength will not be perceptibly increased
thereby. This question was settled by the
people last September. The sentiment of the
members of the Legislature then elected is
about the same now as at that time and will
vary but little in the next six weeks"

A private letter from St. Pierre, Miquslou

gives an account of a terrible tragedy which
has taken place at Indian Tickle, Labrador,
on the night of the 18th Of November. The
victims were two families named Morrison,
numbering nine persons, only one of whom, a
girl, escaped. 1t seems that oflate gangs of Es-
quimax Indians have been committing robber-
les at huts and stores, and that after the cap
ture of several of the Indians they were pub
licly chastised by whipping. The Indians
sought revenge, and on the night of the 10th
visited the dwelling of the Morrisons and shot
and stabbed to death eight of the nine persons
residing there. One Indian was also shot.
