Mr.. c. E. WRIGHT, editor of the Vicks-
burg Herald, just now in Washington, says
in note to the correspondent of the New
York Times, what every man in this part of
the Mississippi valley must indorse, that 1.-THE
yellow-fever cost the south many million dol
lars last year, and the depressing effects upon
all occupations are still felt. About this mat
ter the south is in a state of suspense con-
dition which is hurtful to all our business in
terests. A wise, firm national law would at
once restore confidence. If it would not en-
tirely keep out the plague. it would at least
enable the national authorities to delay its
march and give notice of Its approach The
people want just such law, and they want
its execution Entrusted to the national author
tiles, because they will not allow the trade
interests of New Orleans to prevent its en-
torcement. They do net believe that any
rights of the States will be encroached upon
by the government protecting the lives and
property of the people, and cannot be con
viDced that the question pertains exclusively
to the States, when they know that one in
fected ship can carry death and desolation to
many States"

their votes will not be arrested by marshals
and supervisors paid four dollars day for
their services. The fundamental objection
to the appointment of Federal supervisors is
that it is an unwarrantable interference of
the Federal government In a matter which
concerns the States alone. Congress has the
right to regulate the times, place and man
ner" of holding elections for members of
congress, and the house of representatives
can exclude any person whom it adjudges to
have been Improperly elected; but there is
not any warrant for surrounding the polls
with Federal officers, and subjecting the
whole electoral system of the States TO the
supervision of The Federal government.
With an army of marshals and supervisors,
with troops at their back ready to execute
their partisan orders, the party in power can
perpetuate that power as long as it desires,
just as the Radicals perpetuated their power
ia the southern States, by excluding and re-
fusing to count only just enough votes to Sc
cure a majority for the Republicans.

MEXICO AND COMMERCE.,

We have received a circular headed, ere
public of Mexico, Secretary of State" and
signed "Riva Palacio, who, as secretary of
state, informs US that by the direction of the
president of Mexico an international exhibl-
ton will be held next year in the city of Mex
leo. The president has determined on this
Lecause he believes that "the origin Of the
greater evils which, until now, our country
suffers, Is an economical rather than pohti-
cal one, and that in order to check these
evils, not only are the patriotic efforts of the
good sons of Mexico required, but also the
effective concurrence of foreign intelligence
and capital" The executive of Mexico de-
sires to forward the development of labor,
and thinks an industrial exhibition will
favor the process as well as rectify prevalent
errors regarding the country, and open
markets to commerce and favor
the opening of railways. The
invitation to take part in the exhibition is ex
tended to all nations, not excepting those
that have not established or renewed diplo-
matte relations with the republic; all can
erect buildings on the grounds of the exhibit
ton. In conclusion, the official document
from Signor PalacIo says: THE tendency to
wait for better times, IN order to carry out
great enterprises, requisite for the progress
Of cur country, was the reason why our preyi-
Gus governments maintained themselves in a
vicious circle, which enervated the best lnten-
tons in favor of the country. The oppor-
tunities wasted in waiting for better times
constantly served for the increase of elements
uncombatted, such as poverty, ignorance and
disorder; and to such an extent that no
remedy was ever put to the gravest and grow
ing evils of the country. The present ad-
miniStration. DESTROYS of availing itself of
this sad experience, is determined to inaugu-
rate new policy, and lay the foundations of
an economical reform, without which IT. Is

impossible for the country to enter upon an
era Of peace and progress" These words are
of the right stamp; and, if Mexico will sup
port the policy they lay down, an era of
prosperity lies before it. When Mexico sim
plifes and lightens her tariff, and so carries
out its provisions as to make it facilitate
trade-not obstruct it as at present-her start
on a new and prosperous career will have
begun. Most heartily we wish our neighbor
on the south success in its undertaking, and
a full participation in the trade and commerce
of the world.

Our Cattle export Trade.

New YORK, March ia petition in re-
lation to the cattle export trade will be sent
to day to Secretrry Evarts. 1t is signed by
many railroad presidents, insurance and
bank presidents, and prominent merchants.
The petition suggested certain sanitary pre-
cautions to be adopted by the British govern
ment, acting in concert with this govern
ment, whereby no danger need be appre-
hended from the expectation of our cattle.
and whereby the present burdensome edict
may be removed, or. at least, robbed of
many of its oppressive features. Mr.. Evarts
is urged to secure the relief asked for In the
petition at the earliest possible moment, as
the question is one of national Importance.
and threatens the destruction of one of our
greatest commercial enterprises.

The temperance meetings held at
the Congregational church. uoder the
management Of Rev. w. W. Satterlee.
on Saturday and Sunday last, were
doubtless the most interesting and
useful ever held in Little Falls. Mr..
Satterlee is unquestionably ono Of the
most earnest and able temperance
workers in the United States, aud his
whole soul Is enlisted in the work.
He delivered a temperance lecture
Saturday evening. preached Sunday
forenoon, talked temperance to the
young folks in the afternoon, and lee
tured again in the evening.
A temperance organization was per-
fected, to be known as the Little Falls
Temperance League. The officers are
as follows: President, E. d. Tipgle !;
vice>President, O. A. Churchill: Sec
rotary, Miss Julia A. Russell Treas
urer, Mrs. D. w. Rosenkrans exec
utive committee, E. D. Tiugle, CHAIR
man; VIM. Pedley, Mrs. J. Taylor.
It was decided to have a meeting of
the league once every two weeks, the
next meeting to be held Sunday even
ing, the first of March. Eighty per-

81. G. Stivers. Dear Sir:
I will pen you a few lines this eve
ming TO let yon know that I still re-
member the good people of Morrison
county, although I am so far away
from civilatien. We are having a
very mild, pleasant winter 50 far. We
have had but very little snow, and it
has now all disappeared IN the valleys
which is good for the stock men as
we'll as for the stock. All kinds OF
stock run out al! winter, keeping in
good condition. This part of Monta>
ma is winteriDg a good many large
herds of cattle. All the valleys are
rich with nutritious grasses, peeul liar
to the mountain ranges ; and tho vail
1eys are also very fertile when titled,
especially in vegetables and garden
truck. A few years ago everything
had to be irrigated, now the seasons
have changed so that it is hardly con-
sidered necessary. But, taking every
thing into consideration, I think that
nearly any place in Minnesota or Da.
kota is preferable to this country for
a permanent residence. The govern
ment is expanding large appropriations
every year in improving the upper
Missouri rivev for steamboat navi-
CATION. In the spring the government
will begin constructing fourteen>com>

partment they will got their annuities
and become peaceable as we'll as satis>
