TIE RINDERPEST.

Tho prohibition just made by the treas
Try authorities at Washington, through
a circular to the collectors of our parts
OF the importation of neat cattle, hides,
&c, from England, ON account of a re-
newed development of the rinderpest in
that country, seems to be justified by the
facts, as shown by advices from the rural
districts of that country. The rinderpest
or cattle plague has appeared all at once
at Hull, In Essex, in Yorkshire, as well
in Bow and Stepney, suburbs of London.
Entire heres have been slaughtered, and
stringent measures have been taken to
isolate local outbreaks. To England this
plague seems to have been brought, as
usaal, from Germany ,IlSaxony, Silesia,
Pomerania, Bohemia and the eastern
provinces of the German empire gener.
ally are, together with Russia and Hun
gary, the great cattle-breeding and at the
same tina the great rinderpest-spread-
ing districts. In England the last cpl
demlc is estimated to have carried off as
much as 100000 head of cattle, to the
value of some 1000, 900. No wonder
That the people arc seriously alarmed al
a new outbreak.
The question threatens, however to be-
come still more important one for
GRANGE than it is for England. In 1870
france imported from Germany, Russia
anu hungary as much as ~ 900 head OF
cattle and S00,000 head of sheep. They
come in all along the frontier, but the
minister of agriculture has just issued a
decree limiting the number of custom
houses through which cattle, meat, hides
and bones can be imported. AT these
stations they are 10 be subjected to the
seyerest veterinary inspection. But it i.
evident that with long frontier line lik,
that of France hundreds, possibly thou
sands, of sick ANIMAL may be driven il
without any veterinary or even custom
house officer ever seeing them. The So
ciete Central d'Agriculture and the ag
ricultural papers, fully aware of the dan
ger, strongly agitate in favor of tota
prohibition of the importation of cattl
from Germany, and advocate the intro
duction of American cattle. Should thei
view. prevail with the government anC

Charlie Ross.

New YORK, June ga story
comes from & prominent and
well-known detective which,
though sensational it's features,
may possibly throw some light
upon case that has baffled pub
lie inquiry for the past three
years.
The story is that a young couple
belonging to one of the most
aristocratic of English families
eloped together and became
married several years ago.
The issue of this match was
one little boy, who was the darling
of his grandfather, who however,
could never forgive his daughter
for her disobedience. The old
gentleman dying, left his wealth
to the child, cutting off the mother
from the inheritance, and making
it revert to others on the occasion
of the child's death. This soon
took place, but was kept pro-
found secret, while desperadoes
were searching two continents in
pursuit of some child that would
answer the description of the
dead heir, and thus permit the
parents to enjoy the property.
These men seized on Charlie
Ross and found that he tailed in
every respect with the child that
was lost. The story OF his alb
duction and the subsequent cap
ture of the rufiians is we'll known
to the public. Ii is alleged that
at the time of the death of these
men the family became acquainted
with the story of the capture and
position of Charlie, willingly con
sentiEg to become the pensioners
of the English squire for the sake
of their child and his brilliant
prospects, and that all subsequent
efforts made by them 10 regain
the boy are merely blinds to
silence inquiry and prevent the
public from learning the fate of
boy.

these regulations laborers shall

ployee shall require or request any
working man to contribute or pay
any money tor political purpose,

charged for political opinions.

list. Louis Republican.
For an off-year in politics there
is an unusually lively promise OF
political activity in New York this
fall-State officers and Legisla-
ture will be elected, which will
choose a successor for Senator
Conkling, whose term expires
March, 1879. The senatorship is
of course the main prize, and there
are goodly number of big fish
after it, if the gossip Of Albany can
be trusted. Altogether the most
prominent candidate mentioned is
ex-Goy. Tilden, whom rumor per-
sists in charging with aspirations.
Chief among the competitors for
the democratic nomination are
Judge Church, Lieut. Gov. Dor
sheimer and ex.Goy. Hoffman.
Among the Republicans, of course,
Conklng stands foremost; but it
is limited BY the knowing ones
that Secretary Eyarts is anxious
to try himself in the Senate, while
it is almost positively known that
ex-Goy. Morgan and ex-senator
Fenton are stripping for the fight.
The candidacy Of SO many strong
men is sufficient indication Of the
bitterness with which the struggle
will be made for the Legislature,
and in State SO uncertain as

That if they were of the opinion
that the money could be raised,
his advice was to go to work
among the capitalists and raise
the $6T5,OO0 now needed; that ut
this time to relinquish the work
would be calamity which he
hoped would not befall the COM
munity that there were large
numbers of people who desired to
come to New Orleans if they could
accomplish it by rail; that the Pa
clhc Road would be the cheapest
road that had ever come to this
city. He thought the road would
be a handsome investment, and
would yield a dividend of ut least
seven per cent, and perhaps ten
or twelve per cent.
Mr.. Wheelock thought in regard
to comparing the grade of the
Texas Pacific road with the New
Orleans Pacific in point of grade,
that the latter WAS much lighter,
not exceeding scarcely foot to
the mile. That they could trans
port wheat from Texas to New Or.
leans at seven cents per bushel,
which, in his opinion, was a great
point in favor of the earnings of
the road.
Several other gentlemen were
called upon, who gave opinions
concerning the road in accordance
with the above.
BY Mr.. Jonas:
Resolved, That $675,O0O be
raised by subscription from the
citizens as an investment) and
that none of the subscriptions be
paid until $500, 900 shall have been
subscribed.
Adopted
Resolved, That mass meeting
be called at st. Patrick's Hall for
Saturday, at Z P. M, for the pur-
pose of laying before the citizens
! correct statement of the roads
'ffairs. Adopted.
Judge Kennard then rose and
said he thought it an appropriate
line to state that when the main
stem of the Baltimore and Ohio |
Road had reached its original ter
minus on the Ohio, Wheeling, it |
lad cost in cash more than the
.utire assessed value Of the city of
Baltimore at the date of the incep-
ion OF the enterprise.

If this meeting that President Z.
