Cattle Plaque in Russia.

The st. Petersburg correspondent OF the
London Standard says: "The cattle plague
has again appeared in the neigbborhood of
St. Petersburg. The first case was reported
from Tsarkoe Selo month ago. and on in
quiry it was found that the infected animals
had been brought from the government of
NovgorOd by some peasants, who are to be
prosecuted for infringing the law by which
the sale of cattle is regulated. The most
stringent measures have been adopted to
prevent the spread Of the contagion. A
quarantine has been established round the
places where diseased animals are known
to exist; neither cattle, hay nor straw is
allowed to be taken from the locality, and
no cattle can enter the capital without
being subject to rigid inspection. A great
many people in St. Petersburg keep cows,
and it is the custom to send them every
morning to Craze in the neighborhood.
This Is no longer allowed. The COWS are
to be kept at home, and strict regulations
are to be enforced with regard to their
food, the cleanliness of the COW houses and
the sale and slaughter of the animals.
With view to assist the police to stop the
evil tho town council has voted grant of
5000 roubles for the disinfection of the COW
houses of the poorer classes"

Stock Exchange Quotations.
EDITOR REPUBLICAN,:

EDITOR REPUBLICAN,:
In your article of Sunday on "Stock Ex-
change Quotations" yen are in error in
supp0sing that the daily quotations of
bonds and securities are furnished by the
Stock Exchange. The committee on quota
tions meets weekly. at the close of bust.
nees Friday, and the "oticial quotations"
are then established and published in cir
culsr form, and by the daily papers ON Sat-
urdsy morning.
Last Friday the market for State consols
closed at 81 057A. Bonds were offered at
the last price and not sold, and were EVIL
deutly weaker. This quotation was in con-
sonance with the opinion Of several leading
brokers in bonds, who were consulted be-
fore the committee met
COMMITTEE ON QUOTATIONS.
The above communication comes from
one of the officers of the Stock Exchange,
and is entitled to respectful consideration.
We regret that we can not reconcile it with
actual experience. We know that at least
four leading brokers had, on Friday, orders
to fill up to 57s4 ass. They reported On
Saturday morning that they were unable to
buy any quantity at those rates. How it
happened that they let an offer to sell at
57A go by default, when they had chance
to make from Y a y by buying, can be ex-
planned by them better than by us. Per.
haps they did not hear the offer, or perhaps
the bonds offered were fractional, and not
deliverable to their customers There is some
mystery about it, which We hope the commit
tee on quotations will inquire into, at least
for their own information if not for further
use. We submit it is q little embarrassing
to one here buying for New York account
to be told by all the leading brokers that
consols are scarce at So, and at the same
time be assured by the committee on quota
tions that they we're offered at the Ex-
change at 574, without buyers. We will
cheerfully publish any short communica-
ton on this subject.

Unpublished Crime in Governor COke's
DOmiDiOns.

The San Antonio Herald OF the sixteenth
says:
In reply to an attack made on the press
by the Governor, charging exaggeration
and unreliability in regard to the publica-
ton Of murders and other outrages, we
stated that in this part of the State not
more than one-half Of the outrages ever
reached the public through the newspapers.
Our inference was based TO some extent on
our repOrtorial experience. and partly on
the statements of parties who had every op-
portunity of knowing Of the extent of the
lawlessness that prevails on our frontier.
A correspondent of the Freie Presse has
the following confirmation of our assertion
that not half the Outrages are reported:
"Highway robbery has become quite q
common occurrence. Not one-tenth part of
the capital offenses are published In the
newspapers. l can fill You up wi ole
column with murders and robberies that
have taken place west of San Antonio, of
which no newspaper has had word to say.
The reason for this is to be found in the
fact that such affairs have become of too
frequent occurrence to merit attention, and
the honest people are ashamed to publish it
to the world, that the locality where their
homes are is = perfect paradise for thieves
and sc0undrels."

An Exponent of Southern Sentiment.

The Monthly Reriec is a magazine pub
lished iii New Orleans, which lays claim to
being tair exponent of Southern literary
and political sentiment. The leading paper
of the July number is on the Centennial. !"
One paragraph from it will show the spirit
that still prevails in the South:
ut is Q misnomer to speak-ss in our
vanity We often do-of American litera-
ture,' and of the national mind of America,
- if the whole of America belonged to the
United States. We are not and never have
been q nation, but simply union of inde-
pendant States, and it 10, therefore, neither
good sense, good taste, nor common hon.
esty to lay claim to that to which we are
not entitled, and to talk of American litera-
ture, national literature, the national mind
of America and the like"

be, to push the Federal idea, with all that
the words imply, to logical CONCLUSIONS

But there will be no Presidential election
calling for show of economy; and what
has been neglected this year at the expense
of the next, can then be provided for.
Foster, Kasson and others in the House im
paled the Democrats of that end OF the
Capitol and Mr.. Kasson exasperated them
to the last degree of endurance by showing
up the great reformer as sympathizer with
the South during the rabellion, as q peace
atany price Democrat in 1864; as an in
innate with Tweed during his infamous
lead of the Empire City and State Democ-
racy; as q railroad wrecker," and as first
class fraud. Cox attempted to reply amid
great excitement, accused Kasson of lying,
and was driven into an apology by the de-
termined attitude Of Mr.. Hoar supported
by the Republicans. On the whole, it has
been disastrous two weeks for Tilden and
Hendricks. Scott Lord, q Democrat from
New York, inadvertently lead his political
associates into virtually committing them
selves in favor, negatively at least, of the
Democratic method Of conducting political
campaigns % practioed by the Ku-Klux
and White Liners in Mississippi.
The appropriation bills were all finally
passed. Bland's silver bill never came to
q vote, but q commission was provided for to
look into the merits of the silver, gold and

ization of bounties failed to reach final
vote in the Senate. The report generating
Mr.. Knott from maliciously suppressing the
Caldwell dispatch, signed only by the Dem
ocrats of the committee, was passed by
vote of 81 to 80. MAXWELL.
