High SaIaried Europeans threat
ened With the Treatment the

A Price to be Put on the Head
Of the Governor of Bombay.
And a General Massacre Of all Euro
peans Threatened.
Very serious Troubles Ahead.

SIMLA, May 19.-The disease has
appeared in most of the cities Of
Puniaub.
Robbery by armed gangs is assuming
alarming proportions in the Decian,
especially in the POOna district, For
some time past bands of Dacoits have
been securing the country committing
daring attacks on houses and villages.
They seem to form the part of regu-
lar organization under the com
maud of one Wassado Bulmund,
lately clerk ia the financial
department. They are suspected of
having set the fire which destroyed
the government school, Boedwar pal
ace, law courts, postofice, police Office
and fifty houses in PoOna on the night
of the 18th inst. In their remarkable
manifesto to the Bombay government
they threaten another mutiny and to
put a price onthe head of the governor
unless their distress is relieved. They
inform the government that un-
less extensive public works are
at once opened, employment pro-
vided for the people, taxes reduced and
salaries of highly paid Europeans cut
down, they will not cease to plumber,
and will extend to the Europeans what
they have hitherto confined to natives.
They will kill the governor of Bonn
bay, hang the Judge of the Court OF
Sessions of Peona, carry murder and
rapine throughout the country and
engage in massacre of the Europeans,
The manifesto ends by warning the
governor that unless he at once com
plies with the acquisitions the price OF
1000 rupees will be put on his head.
-Four persons, including Wassado
and Buswund, append their signature
to the manifesto and seals. The gov
ernment, which at first was inclined
to leave the matter in the hands
of the local police, is now taking more
energetic measures.
A considerable number of troops
now patrol the country and reward
of 1000 rupees have been offered for
the of acpture Busmund.
The rain still holds off at Behar
Chota, Nagayor and the districts
around Calcutta. The indigo croT
will be very short and other crops
must suffer, if showers do not fall
very soon. Prices are already rising
There has been some rain in the other
districts of Lower Bengal, but more is
wanted.
The incendiary fires kindled by the
native malcontents continue in the
Pooua district.
The Indian police killed the ring
leaders and four men belonging to the
band of Dacoits near the city of Poo
ma, Several others were wounded.
One thousand troops are engaged in
supressing the Dacoity in the Bombay
presidency.

More Cheering News From New
Orleans.

A gentleman writes from New Or
leans under date May 18th, to a friend
in this city, who had written to him
expressly inquiring about the health
Of that city, and his replyis as follows.
What he says can be relied on most
implicitly:
Yours of the 14th at hand and
was glad to hear from you. As to
yellow fever there is none here, and
we do not expect any this summer, as
our city is very clean and healthy and
we expect to keep it so. Your city
need have no fears of it here. If a
case occurs here your authorities will
be notified at once and all others.
" j.. A. SAXON"
The following is an extract from a
letter received at this Office from Mrs.
Edwards, the lady who so distin-
guished herself as a nurse last fall:
NEW ORLEANS, May 10, 1879.
Mr.. WHITMoRE-Dear Sir; This
evening | got your paper in which
there is a statement made by some
creOles of yellow fever being in the
city of New Orleans. That cannot
be or | would know something of it.
We have had several cases of cholera,
but only the usual type of spring
cholera My idea of yellow fever is
that it exists in every part of our
State, and is only epidemic according
to the weather, when we have CON
tinued rains without thunder or light
ming, followed by intense heat This
causes our dreaded foe to appear. So
far | think our prospects for healthy
summer bids fair. We, more likely,
will suffer starvation by this laughable
quarantine of DIR. Chopin's. A party
told me last week that if yellow fever
comes they will dispense with doctors
and call in your humble servant.
One thing rest assured of, the first
thing hear of the yellow fever | will
let you know; also what form it will
take, for it is very treacherous.

The Coal OIL Case.

Special to the Ledger.l lLFtluol
JACKSON, TENN, May 19.-In the
case of,W. II, Rhea, inspector of oils
for Shelby county, against II. Wetter
& Co. and Coffin & Co., Judge McFar-
land rendered the following decision
1. Coal oil and other Illuminating
fluids, manufactured or offered for
sale in this State, are subject to inspec-
tiOn in this State under the acts Of
March "a, 1875, and March %, 1877,
and to sell said oils without such in
spection is a misdemeanor, whether
sold for consumption in this State or

q That it is the duty of the inspec-
tor to proceed at once to inspect such
oils and fluids without waiting for the
dealer or owner to negotiate sales.

IT is likely now that congress will
pass the general appropriation bills
and go home aud take an appeal to
the people against the Presidents
inconsistent yetoes. Some are Of the
opinion however that the session will
last until the lst of July. It is stated
that the Democrats are still consider
ing the propriety Of preparing for
NAL reply to the Presidents vetoes,
and two plans of proceeding are un-
der adyisement. The first is to have
it emanate from the judiciary commit
tees Of the two bodies and send it to the
country. The society is to have a
joint address prepared under a rule
which provides that when the senate
and house of representatives shall
judge it proper to make a joint address
to the President it shall be presented
to him in his audience chamber by the
president of the senate in the pres
ence of the speaker of the house. AS
yet no formal steps have been taken
in this direction.

SPEAKING of church trials, in which
the readers of newspapers are inter
ested more or less as in other current
news, the Nashville American of yes
terday says "We congratulate the
church engaged in the Lebanon trial
upon the wise publicity it has adopt
ed, avoiding the error into which
churches fall of supposing that the
cause Of religion can be injured by
the public knowing that which is. If
that cause can be injured, it is by
leaving the public TO suspect what Is
not and gossips to spread the non
existing or that which is. The further
the world goes the more it finds that
the public can be safely taken into
confidence, in churches, in political
saucuses and legislative assemblies.
The Lebanon Herald wisely took that
view when requested to withhold pub
lication because of the effect on the
public. DR.. White correctly respond
ed by publishing the state of the case
as it was, and thus full-informed
public had no room for gossip or sur
mise. Gossip stops in day when
facts are published. It's atmosphere
is secrecy and mystery. Some peo-
pie imagine that newspapers de-
sire to publish the news because it
sells. and that is true to certain
extent, but that is not all. The jour
nalistic instinct comedies with sound
common sense and wise public policy,
When people have the real facts
they are speedily done with thea,
There is no opportunity left for max
ing false facts, aud the gDssips are
"put out" because they cannot ply their
trade upon people too we'll informed
to acceptinventions for facts, ,ortoallow
ofmystery, which belongs to darkness.
SO far as the present case is iscOncerned,
publicity appears already to have pro-
duced a better state of feeling and 10
have led ia. a possible satisfactory ad-
justment, in which the public will
coincide. If the proceedings had
been in secret an adjustment might
have been reached satisfactory 10
