The Ouachita telegraph. [volume] (Monroe, La.) 1865-1889, 1879-02-07

The legislature adjourned sine die
Saturday last. We are without the
information necessary to say what
laws of q general nature were enacted,
more than tho calling of the Conven-
ton and the repeal of the charter OF
the Louisiana Lottery. This last
measure meets with the opposition of
the Lottery company, and it is given
out by the Company's attorneys that
the question of "vested rights" will be
carried all the way up to the U. s.
Supreme Court. We do not risk
much in predicting that the force of
public opinion, If not the courts, will
finally crush the Lottery.

THE RUSSIAN PLAGUE.

LONDON, Feb. 3.-The British Medi-
cal Journal publishes the following as
to the origin of the pestilence in Rus
STA: A Cossack, returning from the
! war of Wetlianka, brought his lady,
love shawl, which was probably
part of his spoil. The girl wore it two
days and sickened, with all the symp-
toms of the plague, and died during
the following four days. The other
members of her family sickened and
died. The disease spread rapidly, but
the local authorities did not pay any
attention to it until hsn the inhabit-
ants of the village had died, and those
remaining were unable to bury the
victims. The epidemic had assumed
serious dimensions by the 25th of
only informed of it officially on the
18th of December. Ten days further
time elapsed before any systematic or
energetic means were taken for prevent
ing it spreading further. The authori-
ties have since then exerted them
selves to the utmost to make up for
lost time. AS the only way of arrest
ing the disease is to prevent all COM
munication between the districts
where it reigns and others which are
healthy, a double Gordon is being form
ed, firstly, in the towns and villages,
shutting off the streets where the plague
reigns from the rest of the place; and
secondly, by surrounding the places
with troops, so that nobody is allowed
| to pass in or out, guarantees also being
instituted on tho borders of infected
Governments, and are strictly watched.
The population are said to take an &C.
tive part in preventing the crossing of
the sanitary line, which begins at San
yanowska and runs upward on both
| borders of the Volga, to Batagnasza.
Quarantines have been founded in Sa-
| repta, Iwanowka, Otrade and Zaritzen.
A great drawback is the want of meGli-
cal men. The panic in Russia is almost
incredible. Every class and station in
life have petitioned for the entire cessa-
ton of all intercourse. Even postal
communication between the rest of
Russia and the Volga. Letters sent
from Astrachan and Zaritin are not re.
ceived by the persons to whom they
are addressed. Some people even re-
fuse to take paper money, fearing the
germ of the infection might be COM
municated through it.
The Times's correspondent at Berlin
says the Russian railroad cars are no
longer admitted 10 German territory.
The export of grain from Poland will
suffer severely from this restriction.
The Roumanian Government is dis
cussing the expediency of prohibiting
transit of Russian provisions sent to
victual the Balkan army. The Rus
sian Sanitary Commission has proposed
to shut off the Volga line from all
intercourse with Western Russia, and
permit communication only under
quarantine.

trotluced in the two Chambers and
legally enacted; but on presentation
to the President, he refused to sign
them. The crisis was reached, veto
would have been useless, submission
was impossible, the resignation had to
follow.
The following is the text of President
letter announcing his re-
signation:
At the opening of this session of the
Chambers the Ministry presented to
you q programme which, while afford.
ing satisfaction to public opinion, APP
peared to the Cabinet such as might
be voted without danger to the security
or good administration Of the country,
and, putting aside all personal views,
I had given the programme my ap-
probation, for was sacrificing no
principle to which conscience COM
nnanded me to remain faithful. To-day
the Ministry, thinking to respond to
the opinion of the majority In the two
Chambers, proposes to me, In regard
to high military commando, some
general measures which c0nsider
contrary to the interests of the army,
and consequently to those of the coun-
try. I can not subscribe to them.
Any other Ministry taken from the
majority would impose upon me the
same conditions. consider myself,
therefore, bound to shorten the du-
ration Of the mandate which the
National Assembly confided to me;
and I therefore tender my resignation.
In quitting power, I have the consola-
tion of thinking that during the fifty
three years which have devoted to
my country, either as soldier or citizen,
have never been guided by scnti-
ments other than honor and duty and
absolute devotion to my country. /
request you to communicate my deci-
sion to the Chambers.
IMAGINATION, Duke of Magenta.
His successor, Francois p. ]. Grevy,
is lawyer and statesman by educa-
ton, and q Conservative Republican In
full accord and confidence with the
ruling political element of the country.
Contrary to expectation, his elevation
has been peaceful and acceptable. The
French are mercurial and have been
the butt of much criticism fortunately
they are wiser than In 1880, 1S4S or
1871. 1t augurs we'll for the Republic
long may it live!

RESIGNATION OF PRESIDENT MAC
MAHON.

Marshal MacMahon succeeded Pres
ident Theirs in November, 1873. Like
most other military men, he has ex-
pected and endeavored to rulo the
nation just as he had commanded his
brigade, division or corps of tho army.
1t antagonised the civil authority and
tho constitutional foundations of the
government, and has caused mutual
chickering's almost from the day of his
Inauguration. The sentiment of the
French is Republican the politics of
MacMahon are Imperialist, Orleanist,
Legitimist, or anything In opposition.
A year ago the Government was on
the verge of war with the people.
Gambctta- was condemned to impris-
onment and heavy fine for daring to
oppose the measures of tho President,
1t was then an ultimatum that Mac
Mahon must either submit to the
wishes of the people as expressed
through their representatives, or resign.
Their was no other alternative. and
submission followed.
The quarrel now is over the com.
mands of the different army corps.
They are and have been headed by
Imperialists, &c. 1t seems that the
Republicans are becoming distrustful,
and desire to put the army IN the
hands of their friends. Bills were in.

The General Assembly passed an
Act, which has been promulgated, de-
taching Caddo, De Soto and Bossier
parishes from the Monroe Supreme
Court district, and making all cases
nom those parishes returnable at New
orleans. The district still embraces
niteen parishes, but the term of the
Court here will be shortened consider
ably by the change made.
