The Spanish quarantine authorities report that

On account Of The extremely vtrulent and con.

From the reports Of the American Diplomatic
agents and other official sources sufficient facts
have been gathered to strongly establish The
probability Of tho epidemic disease prevailing
In Southern Russia being limited but very
riruicnt outbreak OF plague, and bot simply
malignant typhus, as slated IL the trAt official

plague has prevailed for two years Ia portions

The report Of tie chief medical officer Of
Astrakhan states that an Intermittent fever,
accompanied With suppuratLng glandulnr
swel!ngs, prevailed at Wcllyanka In November,
1878. The tendency Of the disease was towards
recovery up 10 Dec. l, when the fever assumeda
malignant, paroxysmal type, causing death In
from twelve to forty.eight hours. Up to Dec.
the mortality averaged nearly TO per cunt, then
/ rapidly increased, until, on the 29th II had at
\ ta!ned 100 per ccut,--dcath resulting in every
case. The most approved treatment was cul-
ployed without benefit. Nearly oil who camc In
contact with the sick died, Including seven

has created a good deal of feeling
among lottery agents, aud they say
it eannot stand. 1t is said that the
lottery companies wal take the case
TO the courts, and maintain their
rights to the use of the mails. The
authorities base their decision upon
Che uostal laws Of 1879 which forbid
the use Of the mails to swindle the
public and they claim that lotteries
come under this head. Tie decision
is, 40 doubt, right, and it is pity
that all these swlndliug conspiracies
for all lotteries are frauds and

Attacking the Tie that Binds.

The Democratic determination to
take from the General Government the
power toprotect the ballot boxes from
fraud at the election of its own. officers
and legislators, by the appointment OF
proper supervisors. is in harmony with
the declaration that the Government
shall not be permitted to try offenses
against its own laws In its own courts.
There is studied hostility to the Gener-
al Government and purpose to disown
it at all points and hand 1t over help
less to the mercy of the sovereign
States. II there is any latent purpose
to repeat the experiment of secession
and the dissolution of the Union the
steps could not be more
taken. With the ballot boxes
the United States Courts
incspacitated, the army reduced to 8
skeleton and the treasury Of the Gov
ernment squandered on extravagant
schemes of internal imprevement-all
of which seem to be the manifest pur-
pose of the Democratic Congress-the
will retain about as much
and power of seli-assertion as it
had in the last days of the reign Of
James Buchsnan.-[Cin. Com. (Ind.).

which General Butler said he could see
no impropriety In the pensioning of
maimed Confederate soldiers. Without
action on the bill the House took recess
the evening session being for debate
only.
In the Senate on Saturday the debate
on the bill to restrict Chinese immigra-
ton was resumed. The bill, without
any important amendments, was pass

amend the internal revenue laws,
which contains the provisions reducing
the tobacco tax, was taken up and q
portion of it read, but the number of
senators having diminished to about
ten, an adjournment took place.
The House spent the session in con-
sidering the Legislative, Judicial and
Executive Appropriation bill in COM
mittee of the whole without complet-
ing it.
In the Senate on Monday House bill
authorizing the conversion of National
gold banks passed; also, for construct
ing a bridge across the Missouri river
at Decatur, Nebraska.

Lit can be shown that vicious use
is made of the federal election laws; il
innocent men are sent to prison, and il
voters are kept away from the pOlls
by them, there might be some justice
in the Democratic demand for their re-
peal. But the howl is the loudest
where thejust operation of the laws is
most undeniable. Most of the persons
indicted were so destitute of defence
that they plead guilty. The only pos
sible point Of cavil is the lightness Of
the sentences, the heaviest of which
are far below the minimum penalties
imposed by the State law. The an
guish OF the Democratic mind, howev
er, results from the thought Of the loss
of so many useful party workers. The
Washington Capitol declares that If the
law is left unrepesled "the Democrats
will not organize the next House, for
the reason that several of its members
will be In the penitentiary, whittier
two-Hul, Of Florida, and King, OF
Louisiana-are already on the road,
and travelling az fast as this engine OF
satanic Radicsllsm can haul them" +"
And this is given as evidence OF the
bad effects of the lswl-Balt. Amer.
