A New Horse Disease in Texa.

At late hour last night we visited the
city livery stable of Mr.. Worley to ascer.
tain the extent of the horse disease said to
be prevailing there. and found it much
worse than at first represented.
DIR. Edwin Townsend, veterinary surgeon
in charge, kindly showed US through the
stable. and from him we obtained the follow.
ing regarding the disease: DR.. Townsend
pronounces it cerebro spinal meningitis.
The symptoms are developed rapidly: the
first sign being a twitching of the muscles,
followed by fever. and dull and heavy
look about the eyes. Then the horse falls.
and with great exertiOn and assistance. is
raised up. The animal seemed to teed well
all the time. Before death they break out
with protuse sweating. the head drops, and
they sink rapidly, apparently from exhau.-
:ion. While in the stable we cav one
noble animal in the last .hroes Of death.
seemingly in great agony.
DIR. Townsend has not saved a horse: the
disease battles his every axertion Three
died yesterday, and two more we're dying
when he left the stable. He says the dis.
ease is endemic. not epidemic. and has no
fears that it will leave the stable.
The first remedy resorted 10 when horse
is attacked is to pull him up in a sling. aud
then administer physic.
This disease is the same as has been pre-.
vailing in New York and st. Louis, and is
far worse than the epizootic. T.le-

southern Dramatic Club

The Southern Dramatic Club Of amateurs
gave its first complimentary performance
of the season at the Sc. Charles Theatre last
night. The theatre was filled. and larger
mum Der than usual OF ladies' were present.
The performance was remarkable from the
fac: that the drama played upon the ccea.
sion was from the pen OF Mr.. B. P. Colin.
sky. member Of the club, who played the
leading part. That the piece was played,
that he played in it, and that the people
were pleased, is glory enough for the pres
ent. The drama is in four acts. and is
called Separated by Death" 1t is cleverly
adapted from an English story, being some.
what sensational. and having several
situations. The author was warmly
welcomed. as was Mr.. Stevenson, Cefalu
and Cohen. favorite members of the clue.

a Cruel Story.

! Charles Nordhof writes the foiiowln, IN
one of his letters TO the New York Herald.
Here is another incident of Mississippi
life. Abont four weeks ago a mulatto girl.

some time as servant in the house o. a
| farmer. two and half miles from Verona.

Verona. where she became a house servant,
in order to atten! an evening school. She
had been at her new place a week when

neighbor. all armed Will, ehotguns,
appeared before the house. Two of
the men came IN and demanded the
girl. saying she belonged to them. She
refused to 90 with them, and declared she
was free. which was true. Of course. They
knocked her down. took her by the feet,
dragged her thu, through the house,
through the yard, into the street. her cloth.

her on horse and carried her off. When
they got her home two of them tied her to
a tree and logged her barred back with

her to the house and chained her with a

again at night. After eome days she
made her escape and found refuge with a
Southern man, the county superintendent
OF education. who. after proper notice,
sent her TO the United States district
attorney. From the district attorneys
lips l received the accoun, Of this
outrage. Now. cruelty may happen
in any State. The part .. the story
which seems most horrible 20 ,re i
this: 1t is in evidence before tie district
attorney that the mayor Of Verona, who is
its Justice of the peace. heard the girls
cries and saw the struggle. and when asked
why he did no. interfere himself. testified
that ne thought i. was none of his bus:-
ness, as he knew that it was only negro
girl. Several other men testified that they
stood in their doors and saw the girl
dragged by her feet out into the road. 1t
was none of their business either. Finally,
l related this tale to Democratic Judge OF
the Supreme Court of the State. He re.
piled that brutality was found everywhere,
North as we'll as South: and could not,
with all my efforts apparently. make him
understand that what filled me with indig-
nation and hopeless disgust was not so
much the act itself. but the fact that an
officer of the law and several citizens could
witness 1t unmOyed-becauss it was only
negro girl.

for division of opinion.
Everything precludes a doubt as to the
accountability of the Mexican authorities
for the enormity of the Outrages and the
dangers threatening the frontier. Some of
the Mexican officials are watching Cortina's

Republicans in California.

The Republican State Convention of Cali
f0rnia, which met at San Francisco on the
eleventh instant, was a most dignifed and
harmonious body. 1t show wed State thor
! Oughly organized for good, with leaders
| governed by the best political principles
which can actuate the minds of men. The
platform adopted consists of some twelve
resolutions, embodying the wisdom of State
| policy. One of them is of even national I'M
portance, and is as follows:
Rcsolred, That the conduct OF that por-
t!on OF the people in the South who defy
the fifteenth amendment. and seek, by in
timdation or force, to prevent the lawful
exercise Of the elective franchise by the
great body Of colored citizens resident
therein. is rebelliOus defiance of the ma
tional authority. and an attempt to prevent
the election of the next President by the
people is calculated to arouse the worst
passions of men and TO disturb the peace of
the nation, and should be met by all
law abiding citizens. North and South. as
an effort to revive the flames of civil war.
While admitting that differences of opinion
exist as to the extent of the conspiracy
against the constitutional election of a
President in 1876. we deem it well to eau
ton the people against s!umbering in the
lace OF DANGER.
This resolution is an Endorsement OF the
position of Louisiana Republicans, and it
gives us pleasure to know that they will be
sustained in The future in the war ainst
the Confederate Democracy.
Tue to its practice OF garbiing reports
and omitting matters of the greatest iu.
terest to Southern Republicans, the Assc-
ciated Press Agent withheld the resolution
from his report, sending two others. of
minor Importance. out Of the twelve.
The convention adjourned. after nomi.
mating the following State ticket, the names
on which We get by mail, as the intelligent
telegrapher failed also to mention ANYTHING
about nominations:
For Governor, T. G. Phelps: Lieutenant
Governor. Joseph N. Davis: Secretary OF
State, o. II. Hallett; Controller, j. j. Green;
Surveyor. Il. Z. Gardner: Treasurer Viii
liam Beckman; Attorney General, f. D.
Sawyer; Clerk of the Supreme Court Grant
}. Taggart; Superintendent of Public In
struction, Ezra c. Carr.
We congratulate the Republicans Of Cali
fornia on their efforts to promote the best
interests of their State. and upon their cou-
servative expressions on national affairs.
They ask the Republicans Of other States
to stand united in the campaign OF 1876,
and all can see as they see that only such
uniOn is necessary to make the national
campaign . success.

Mozart Social. Literary and Deba ting
Club.

This is the name OF very fine organiza.
ton. with roll of membership far above
the average in respectability and literary
capacity. The officers for the present year
are as follows: President, William Nigers:
vics president, William Il. Mason; secre.
tary. William II. Green: treasurer. f. C.
Antoine; literary manager. A. j. Kenner.
As first started on the second of August,
1873, the association was known as the
AdeIphic Literary Society, but on the four.
teenth Of April last reorganization was
effected under the name which heads this
paragraph. At several social and literary
reunions the various members have given a
forecast of their quality. which has wrought
up to the highest degree the expec tations
of their friends and the public regarding
the entertainment to be given next month.
1t is understood that Shakespeare great
ira agedy of 'Julius Cesar will be acted on
that occasion. The cast is an unusually
strong one. and the Mozar: Club will no
doubt prove themselves worthy competitors
in the echool Of the drama.

The fellOwsteups

General FOrsythe's excursion up the Ye!
lowstone river arrived at Bismarck. on the
return trip. on the twelfth instant. The
following is the official report to General
Sheridan:
BISMARCK, D. T., June Il, 1879.
We left Fort Buford at P. NJ, Wednes-
day, May .6. and reached the mouth of
Big Horn river by the use of steam alone,
without setting spar OF warping, at 8. A.
NJ, Wednesday,, June 2. Our running time
was eighty eight hours and forty minutes;
distance travelled from Fort BufOrd, 400
miles; from the mouth Of Powder river,
l65 miles. Pushing on from Big Horn, we
had to work our way up the Yellowstone
by tho use Of lines and spars, passing Pom
peiis pillar and Pryor's river. but finally
was compelled to turn back. when within
about twenty miles of Clark's fork, having
reached point on the Yellowstone $50
miles above Powder river, and lO5 miles
from Buford.
In descending the Yellowstone We had
rise in the river as far as Powder river, but
from there to Big Horn the water was fall
ing, and the marks on the banks showed
that our stage water was at least two feet
below the usual spring rise. The minimum
depth of water by soundings on Wolf
rapids was eight teet, and on main Buffalo
idpIuo ocNcu. No stcdueu over DOln OF
them without the least trouble. We also
run up the Big Horn river for distance of
twelve miles, when We found that the
channel was so obstructed that it would not
pay to try to 90 any higher. This river is
about $50 yards wide at tho mouth. the
water muddy. and the valley proper narrow
and rough, with plenty of cotton wood along
the stream. The water of the Yellowstone
above the Big Horn is clear. feel justified
in saying that for three months of each year
the Yellowstone is navigable from it's mouth
to the mouth Of the Big Horn, and, if re-
ports are true, it is much better than the
upper Missouri for the same period.
We saw and killed during our trip buf.
falo, elk. deer, mountain sheep and bear,
and caught trout. Above Pryor's river
there is any quantity OF pine and cotton
wood for all building purposes, from
Tongue river as far west as We went or
could see. Saw nc Sioux on the river, but
ran on to $50 lodgt1 of Crows above Pryor's
river, who were OF their way down to the
Big Horn cOuntryto TO hunt. We leave this
morning for Chicago.

The Release Of Tweed Creates n Sensa-
tion-llow the Boss Appears.
The reception of the intelligence that
William NJ. Tweed had been discharged by
the Court of Appeals at Albany, created
profound sensation here to-day. Tweed
received the news from Foster Dewey. his
private secretary. He received the an.
nouncement calmly. arguing that he was
innocent and was willing to meet justice.
He was subsequently informed Iha. a
deputy sheriff was in waiting to rearrest
him on another suit. He said that did no.
matter inasmuch as he was prepared to
give the requisite amount of bail.
The Boss looks pale and careworn. Up
to late hour no official announcement of
his discharge had reached Blackwelrs
Island. 1t is expected that he will leave
the island early to morrow morning.
A bench warrant for Tweed's arrest has
been issued by judge of the Court of Ses.
sions on the criminal charge of forgery. but
orders Of arrest on civil suits will be served
