SUMMARY OF NEWS BY ENGLISH
MAIL.

The sentences passed upon four persons
connected with the Frankfurter Zeitung
for refusing to disclose the authorship of
an incriminated article, has been confirmed
by the Appeal Court.
1t is stated from Constantinople that
the frontier question is in fair way of
settlement between Turkey and Monte
negro, and that the relations between
the Porte and the Servian Government
are very satista Glory.
The strike of the Pennsylvania c%olliers
is at an end, the men aving acceded to
the employers terms. Several leaders of
the Trades Union have been convicted of
conspiracy and riot, and have been SEN
fenced to terms of Imprisonment.
Great evaporation exists at present
between the Republican and the Bona
partist representatives, in Paris arising out
of the report of the committee which inquir-
ed into the Nievre election, and which i'm
putes to NJ. Rouher and his friends an
organized conspiracy to restore the EN-

A stranger, otherwise well posted in the
department of general news, who happen
ed to read the official notice, published in
our last issue, by which the Presidency
makes known that a quarantine Of IA days
is established for vessels from this island
arriving in st. Thomas, would perhaps
first ask, what then is the matter in that
healthy little island, all of a sudden7 And
on learning that the cause of the hard
doom was a case of small pox in one of
the towns of the island, he would, we
fancy, be led to suppose that we had been
too intimately connected with Ponce, Por-
torico, or some such dangerous neighbour.
He would, however, be far from the mark.
, 1875-07-21

Not from Portorfco, not from st. Thomas,
from which latter place, however, people
giving credit to certain public statements,
might have half way ex pected it, did the
cause of our present isolation arrive. From
New York, where, it would seem, the
foul disease always turks, a solitary case
was brought to Frederiksted, some three
weeks ago. How did it happen that the
authorities concerned were not up and at it
as soon as the enemy was in sight, pro.
vided as they are with all the necessary
apparatus for warding off the dangerP
What was the Hospital and Quarantine
Commission of the good town OF Frede-
liksted doing9 We cannot tell exactly,
our correspondents at that place being r-
Their slow in the operation of quill-driving.
In the absence of better we must resort to
general rumours. According to these, the
man with the small pox was put in the
common hospital, although of course in a
room by himself. A woman, who said
she had had the small pox, was made sick
nurse. 1t proved q deception she had not
had it, AID soon caught the disease and died.
Then came the quarantine.
Now, if this were all, it would seem
hat the quarantine could not be very we'll
justified. But this was not all. The man
recovered the woman, as stated,
died. But before this happened, it
appears, according to what we have
learned, that things occurred which to
ordinary mortals would appear not to be
quite in order. The isolation of the small
pox patients from the other patients in the
hospital was not perfect, the clothes of
the woman were carried to her home, al
though they were soon found there and
burned. These circumstance and others
OF minor Importance, perhaps, would
seem to justify the measure. taken by st.
Thomas. If, now, it was from the eperget-
ic action from over the way or the native
good sense of the local authorities, or
both combined, we cannot say, and care
not to investigate, one thing is certain
we have it from very good authority
every measure has now been taken t6
confin1 the disease to those-We hope they
are few-whO came in contact with tho
first cases. Up to date there has only been
five other cases, which can all be account
ed for from the mistakes made in the be-
ginning 1t is useless now to ask such
questions as these Why was the man
allowed to come ashore at all, if it was a
clear case of small pox? or if admitted
ashore why was he not put in an isolated
buildings The mischief is done, and we
are glad to learn that every thing is now
being done to remedy it, and hope that
these efforts will be crowned with success.
1t is the first time in the annals of this
island that a quarantine has been establish
ed against it. We do not, by any means,
complain Of the measure, but we venture
to hope,-that hope being based on the
action taken in the matter-that it will
not last long.

THE LATEST DREAM OF ST. LoUIs-sHAK-
ING OFF THE EAST.

A leading 81. Louis exchange has
these editorial views: The shortest
distance between two points Is
straight line. This mathematical axi.
ON admits of neither arguments nor
denial, yet our merchants seem to pre-
fer any regular course to reach the
goal of prosperity and fortune, or the
whirlpool of circles and rings, which
more frequently lead to disaster, than
a straight line. The nearest and
cheapest possible route by which the
Valley States can ship their produce
or obtain their imports, is by the Mis-
sissippi river.
Still strange as it may seem, We ship
our flour and wheat, first 1900 miles
by rail east to Baltimore orNew York
thence across the Atlantic to Liver.
pool; again, recrossing the Atlantic to
the South American coast, and south
to Brazil, thus making triangular
voyage ia Rio of fifty days, not inclu-
ding delays when we could, by direct
voyage from the mouth of the Missis-
sippi, accomplish the same voyage in
twenty-one days.
The idea that wheat should be ship
ped first to New York, thence toLiver-
pool, to be ground into flour, and then
to Rio, should strike our millers as an
absurdity, and yet it is donel Mans
nature is generally adverse to the acc
complishment of any object by
straight course, upon the principle
that uncertainty is more alluring
than a fixed fact Men rush wildly
into silver mine speculation, and all
kinds Of impracticabilities, instead of
pursuing a straight line for the attain
ment of q fortune.
The road to prosperity for the Val
lev States, whose commerce is valued
at two billions of dollars per annum,is
to open trado with Brazil by direct
line of steamers from the mouth of the
Mississippi river, which would in a
short time build up for us CONNER
cial intercourse unsurpassed for its
dazzling wealth, by mutual exchange
of products. Yet it would appear, al
though we have millions of capital ly-
ing idle. we have neither the enterprise
nor the energy to put the Mississippi
Valley and Brazil steamship line into
operation.

authorities that they have pursued mis-
tiken policy in attempting to persecute
their citizens of any particular creed. The
expulsion of the Sisters cannot be con-
strued as anything less than persecution,
and, as we have explained, it is q persecu-
ton for which the average Mexican citi-
zen seems to hold the United States, how
ever unjustly, to a strict responsibility. 1t
does not appear that Americans In Mex
leo have violated any law, have abused
any privileges, or have infringed upon the
rights of any sect but it does appear that
because Americans have attempted to wor-
ship in accordance with the dictates Of con-
science under the protection Of Mexican
laws, of time when the Mexican Govern
ment was incapable of executing those
laws, they have fallen victims tomurderous
prosecutions. Behind all this bigotry and
fanaticism, however, there exists the nat
ural inclination of the border Mexicans,
half.breeds and renegades, refugees from
Justice, and a mixture Of American
and Mexican banditt, TO plumber their
more prosperous and peaceable neigh
bors on this side of the Rio Grande. The
raids from American soil to the southern
bank of that river have always been made
by Indians for whose acts we may be in
part responsible, but the plain deduction
from all the facts at hand shows that the
moral responsibility for the border troubles
resides with the citizens of Mexico them
selves, and that citizens Of the United
States have seldom, if ever, assumed the

THERE were some features of the SPELL
ing-match at Lincoln Hall last night thai
were Objectionable, but it is probable that
it passed off as smoothly as such contests
generally do The immediate result was a
demonstration Of the superiority eager
superiority, in fact-Of our Grammar School
scholars as regards orthography, and the
cordial willingness of the more public
spirited printers of the District to contribute
to the instruction and amusement of the
public and at the same time to do some
thing generous in behalf of praisewortAy
charity 1t is possible that in the opinion
of majority of the audience the teacher
did not succeed as well as his scholars, -
and gentle and encouraging coincidence
will be rendered TO the unfortunate partici-
pant who fell a victim TO the skill of pro-
fcssional translator At the same time the
sympathy of all who were present involun-
tarily went out with chivalrous impulse
to each competitor of the gentler sex. In
the final contest, it will be conceded, the
Grammar School scholars had the advan-
tage of fresh recollections Of recent training
and practice, while their opponents labored
under the disadvantage of not being accus-
toned, SO to speak, to spell orally. In other
words, the printers are habituated to spell
''by sight. " seeing word in type or in
proof, and Judging from its appearance in
that shape whether it is right or wrong,
rather than by its complete sound or the
sound of its syllables. As a whole, the
affair was accepted by the large audience
as a decided success. The young dame
who won THE NATIONAL REPUBLICAN
medal is entitled TO distinguished honor,
and with our readers in general will no
doubt appreciate the design which prompted
the offer Of the prize as a commendable
effort to stimulate laudable ambition for
supremacy in a useful branch of what
