plague, which recently appeared in the en-
virons OF that city, is spreading with alarming
rApidity. Horses are dying by scores and
many persons are afflicted. The local authori-
ties are helpless owing to the want of efficient
doctors and the fact that the peasants sell the
skins of beasts which heve died of disease. A
high official left st. Petersburg to take meas
ures to arrest the epidemic.

PARIS. July 14.-Advices from Oran are to
the effec. that the rebel chief Bon Amina
passed Sfsifa the evening of the 10th inst.
The attack on the town OF Kreider tho 7th
inst was for making passage for o small
force in the direction of Ain Leferit. French
troops operating agaist Stax will probably land
at the gates Of Mehida and march to Sfax be.
cause sacrifice of life would be necessary to
effect landing at the latter place. A con.
flict has occurred in the streets of Tunis be-
tween the French and Arabs and Tunisian sol
diers who recently returned from Sfax where
they were not landed for fear they would no,
fight the insurgents. The Tunisians tainted
the Arabs with being bad Mussulmans, and
shouted for holy war. One Arab was seri
onsly injured and his comrades took him to the
French legation and demanded justice.

Senate. Assembly. Total.

Necessary to q chico 70. Adjourned.
Resolution of Newman in the Assembly that
the Legislature adjourn sine die the 10th inst.
was adopted, yeas 50, nays 81.
The adoption by the House of the final adj
iournment resolution has given a fresh impe-
tus to gossip. A report was started this even
log that there is to be an election tomorrow,
but no one has any positive information. 1t is
reported that Speaker Sharpe will make a
break for Lapham and that he will be follow
ed by nearly all of Coakling's votes. The ad-
journment resolution, it is universally conced-
ed cannot get through the Senate. 1t will
under the rule go over till Saturday, and then
if there is any danger of its not being voted
down it will be talked to death as there is no
previous question in that body. The time
fixed for adjournment is 8 p m. Saturday, and
one or two speakers can talk till that time ex
pires easily.
The Conkling men held stormy conference
this morning over the question of voting with
the Democrats for an adjournment OF the leg
islature without electing the United States
Senators. Senators Strahan argued that the
Conkling men must either vote for Lapham
and Miller Or adjourn the Legislature, another
Republican caucus being denied them by the
Administration members He earnestly fa-
vored adjournment. Mr.. Hurd of Erie and
others argued that itswould cause dissension in
the Republican party to adjourn without elect
ing the Senators. Upon vote being taken on
the adjournment resolution, it was defeated
Dy small majority. Inc conference tnelA dls-
solved. Mr.. Brehm, of the Conkling
members, who had favored the adjournment,
afterward in the Assembly Chamber, in con-
versation with friends, said that Lapham and
Miller would be elected TO tomorrow, and off
cred to make bet that they would be. Other
Conkling men made the same statement say
ing that the men who voted in conference
against adjournment would tomorrow vote for
Lapham and Miller. The Administration
leaders, and indeed all well informed polti-
clans here believe that Lapham and Miller
will be elected tomorrow.

A CHEERFUL DAY.
General Confidence in the Recovery of
the President.

General Confidence in the Recovery Of
the President.
WASHINGTON, July 14.-There is a marked
change in the scenes about the Executive
Mansion this forenoon as compared with those
which have prevailed continuously since the
President was wounded. Bright and cheerful
expressions have taken the place of sad and
mournful ones. The encouraging statements
made by the physicians relative to the ultimate
recovery of the President have the effect of
relieving the terrible anxiety which has been
prevalent nearly two weeks. Heretofore at
taches OF the White House, as we'll as those
who were there on business, in connection
with the Presidents illness and those calling
to make personal inquiries, might have been
observed in groups conversing in monotones.
while to-day the sadness occasioned by the at
tempted assassination and fears which have
been entertained that recovery was doubtful
have given place to brighter hopes and the gen.
eral drift of conversation is more cheerful and
pleasant, indicating the great satisfaction
which prevails regarding the patients condi-
ton. Especially was this noticeable in the ex-
pressions OF the Cabinet on leaving the White
House this forenoon, each of whom made
pleasing and satisfactory replies to all inter-
rogatories regarding the Presidents condition.
The day is bright and pleasant with o very re-
freshing breeze, being the result of a shower
last night The guards are still kept about the
White House grounds on patrol duty and will
probably be continued until the PRECEDENT is
able to be about.

The Irish T ,aDd Pill


LONDON, July 14-The Times, in its leading
article, says It is not impossible that the gov
eminent will ask the House of Commons to
consent to sit Saturdays until the land bill is
sent to the House of Lords The Times as
serts that the published statements in regard
TO the position of the land bill commission are
unfounded, as the arrangements therefor are
at present incomplete. The News UNDER
stands that Lord Salisbury has issued a circu-
lar to the Conservative Peers, inviting them
from London as may make their attendance in
the House of Lords, when the land bill
reaches there, conveniently practicable. The
same journal says the delay caused by the dis
cussion of the emigration clause is placing the
bill in critical position.
The Times says the leaders of the Irish
party in the House of Commons oppose emil
grafton absolutely and completely, and BY in
direct and direct means are resisting the adop-
ton of the emigration clause of the land bill
They doubtless calculate that the ministry
will rather abandon that clause than imperii
the fortunes of the bill or protract the labors
OF Parliament, but whatever notifications Of
the scheme Mr.. Gladstone may accept he can
scarcely surrender its principle. The clause
was originally put forward as one of the altern.
in the sterile, over-crowded districts of Ire
land. The Conservatives and many Liberals
would regard it as breach of faith were this
alternative taken away.
The Land Bill.
The House of Commons tonight again
went into committee on the land bill, John
Bright complained of Irish obstruction, and
said members dared not vote against the emf
grafton clause. Mr. Parnell protested against
Bright's statements and said he intended to
vote against the clause himself.
Bradlaugh to Make Another Attempt to

will present himself at the table of the House
that any one endeavoripg to prevent him will
be acting illegally, and that he will resist
physical force and endeavor to overcome il If
offered.

THE MEDICAL TREATMENT.

Well Meant but Injudicious Advice.
WASHINGTON, July 14.-Dr. Bliss is in re-
ceipt OF numerous postal cards and letters from
physicians in all parts of the country suggest
ing treatment of the President from their
standpoint, nearly all of whom seem 10 ignore
the Presidents wound and his consequent
utter physical prostration, and advise treat
ment which would be suitable for one suffer-
ing from a simple malarial fever. A sample
card, received yesterday from physician in
Western Pennsylvania, addressed to DR.. Bliss,
reads as follows:-"Sir-I hear that our be-
loved President is suffering from periodical at
tacks of malarial fever. Great God, man, do
you not know that there are simple, safe and
sure remedies for this fever?" and then went
on to suggest remedies which might be we'll
enough for a patient suffering from simple
fever, but which would kill the President in
less than six hours. This is but specimen of
hosts OF letters from practicing physicians.
They send on recipes for fever, ignoring the
fact that the President is suffering from Sc
rious gunshot wound

dents case careful and unremitting attention,

Crazy OF the United States Circuit Court has

Southern Express Company to restrain the
Iron Mountain r. r. Company from charging
charges on similar express matter received
from othercompanies,a also from. discriminating
against plaintiff company. The Judge decides
% that railroad company is quasi public
property; ~ that it is the duty of all such
companies to receive and carry goods for all
alike without injurious discrimination 81 that
they must carry express matter for all compan-
les which apply ON the same terms; ~ it is not
necessary TO decide in this case whether rail-
road company can engage in the express bust
ness, but it is enough for the present case to
say that il it proposes to engage in the business
at all it must do so upon terms of perfect
equality with other express companies and the
