Liverpool yesterday from Boston,
awaits inspection in quarantine in
the present uncertainty. Few or
no contracts are being entered
into. Traders are trying to ar
range for the slaughter of cattle at
the point of. debarkation, and
strong representations will be made
to the Mersy Docks and Harbor
Board to facilitate this. The ten
days grace allowed by the orders in
the Council are said to be sufficient
for trade requirements, and full
guarantees will thus be provided
against infection, without prohibits
ing the Importation of cattle near
the north docks of Liverpool.
There is, it is claimed, ample room
to provide facilities for the slaughter
of cattle on landing.

THE BoNDHOLDERS,
A Letter to Gov. Marks from the
Chairman of Their Committee.
Noobv;lIo A~or;oon

Nashville American.
The following letter has been ad-
dressed to Gov. Marks by the Chair,
man Of the Tennessee Bondholders
Committee:
New YORK, Jan. 90, 1879.-To
His Excellency, Albert S. Marks,
Governor of Tennessee-Sir: MY
attention has been called to the fact
that suits have been commenced
against several of the railroad COM
panies of Tennessee, to test the
question of the priority Of the lien
of the State bonds issued in aid of
their construction and equipment.
AS the name of the gentleman
who has acted as Secretary Of the
Bondholders' Committee is men
toned as plaintiff in the suits res
ferred to, l deem it due to your Ex-
cellency to inform you that these
suits were instituted on
the responsibility Of the
gentleman himself, and without
the knowledge or consent of the
committee; that the committee have
not yet instituted any suits to estab-
lish the lien of their bonds or of the
bonds they represent /; that they
have clung tenaciously to the hope,
and do not give it up, that settle-
ment with the State is practicable,
that will be acceptable to her cred
itors, and that the proposition Of
compromise of her debt, which the
committee directed their secretary
to furnish to your Excellency on
the 18th instant, with request that
the same be submitted by you to the
Legislature for acceptance, is still
open for that purpose, and it is sin
cerely hoped, and respectfully
urged, may be favorably acted upon
at the present session of the Legis
lature. ..
Permit me to add, and | assure you
that 7 say it with all respect, that |
can conceive of no greater calamity
to the People of Tennessee. and to
their creditors, than to postpone a
settlement, the speedy conclusion of
which seems to me to be of vital i'm
portance, alike to debtors and cred
itors. With respectful regard, I
have the honor to be, very truly,
EUGENE KELLY,
Chairman Of Tennessee Bondhold-
ers' Committee.

LONDON, Feb. 5.-The slaughter
of a cargo of cattle brought by the
steamer Ontario, which has been
completed at Abattoir, in Liverpool,
under the supervision of eminent
veterinary authority, specially fa-
miliar with pleuro-pneumonia, dis
closed the fact that several other
cattle besides those previously de-
tected had suffered from pleuro-
pneumonia, and that the disease
was of a very pronounced conta-
gious type. The examiner returned
to London to report to the Veter-
mary Department of the Privy
Council that the consignment of cat

1T does our hearts good to meet
with proofs that our exertions to give
to the public q good paper are appreci'
ated. When this comes from brother
of the "quill- l-driving fraternity, IL
is doubly pleasing. We are willing
that they shall use anything that ap
pears in our columns, provided al
ways they give proper credit. We are
decidedly opposed, however, to filling
two editorial chairs at the same time,
and more especially when we receive
nothing from the second. To be ex-
plicit, we most seriously object to the
Wayne County Journal, published in
Palmyra, n. Y, taking our editorials,
word for word and line for line, and
using them as original articles. For
the last two or three months has this
ueen going Oh, and we are awfully
urea OF it. Let up Brother Clemons,
let up.

sub Committee commenced proceed
ings at the Fifth Avenue Hotel
Mr.. Springer, of the committee
stated that the inquiry will be
pushed right through with view Of
concluding by Saturday at nonn
In reply to the question as to
whether Gov. Tilden had been sub
| penaed, Mr.. Springer said he has
not and I have my doubts as to
whether he will be. This, however,
does not make any material differ
ence, for in any case we shall give
an opportunity of appearing before
the committee. Smith M. Weed,
of Plattsburg, New York,
was the first witness.
He testified that he was in North
and South Carolina during the elec-
ton. Witness had a cipher when
he left here which he used from
both North and South Carolina.
He destroyed both the key and
copies of the dispatches, but said
he must confess that the dispatches,
as published in the Tribune, were
pretty correct. At Columbia he
was informed that the State had
gone Democratic, but the Can
Tassing Board would not give
certificates to that effect.
unless they were paid for it. He
telegraphed to New York, asking
if money could be furnished. He
said: 'EThe dispatches between
myself and Henry Havemeyer were
the only ones I sent" He received
an answer which he understood te
be an assent to his proposition. FL
nally a definite proposition was
handed me, saying that for 100000
or $4,000 the South Carolina Can
vassing Board could make things all
right for the Democrats. He left
for Baltimore. At Baltimore he
met Col. Pelton, who informed him
that the matter had come to the
knowledge of Mr.. Tilden, who had
refused to permit any money to be
used. Mr.. Hampton, Senator Cor
don and Mr.. Haskell had no knowl-
edge of the negotiations. Although
he said we had destroyed the
cipher key he knew that
all the dispatches published in
the Tribune were not correctly rem
dered. No money was paid by him
or by any one, to his knowledge, to
the South Carolina Returning
Board. He read dispatches signed
"W.," published in the T4a5~ne, and
denied sending them in the form
published. The dispatch commenc-
ing, :'The majority of the Board
have been secpred,:s Sc, was SUBJ
stantially correct. He did not go
to Florida, and never had anything
to do with plot to buy four mem
bers of the South Carolina Legisla-
ture.
Mr.. Springer asked: "Had you
any communication on the subject
with Mr.. Tllden from the day be-
fore the election, either directly or
indirectly, up to the time the South
Carolina Canvassing Board met; OF
did you have any after p

stated that he never authorized any
such proposition that while he
lived he would never become Presi.

SOUTH CAROLINA,

CHARLESTON, Feb. 5.-The State
Grange met here yesterday. The
most important question to be con-
sidered is the proposed strike of the
farmers of this State and Georgia,
against an increase in the price of
fertilizers purchased for cotton.
Several resolutions on refusing to
pay more than 400 pounds of lint
cotton for each ton Of the fertili-
zers, were introduced and referred.
