How lie Secured the Charte

CHICAGO, June 13-Gen. Grant, accom-
panied by Mrs Grant, Col. Fred. Grant and
his wife, and Miss Sharpe, arrived here yes
terday morning. Owing to the poor health
of Mrs. Grant, the General will remain un-
til Wednesday, when he will proceed di-
rectly to New York.
To Morning NeTs representative he said:
81 accomplished the purpose for which
went to Mexico, having obtained all that
went for without any great difficulty, de-
spite the attempts of certain newspapers
and persons here to create an opposition
through talk of annexation &c, &c. The
articles published by the Chicago papers
were copied into those of Mexico, and
at first aroused little opposition; but
| went before Congress, and in a short
speech told them what ! wanted, and they
gave me my charter at once. No charter
was ever before issued in so short time.
The road will be, in all, about 700 miles
long, running from the City of Mexico
through Pueblo to the Pacific coast, while
another branch must go down to the Gulf.
II will be II great benefit to Mexico in de-
veloping the resources of that country, and
to the United States. The charter provides
for the completion of the road in ten years,
but in all probability it will be finished in
side of three years. Four surveying par
ties are already at work. | shall very likely

KiLwcII Bottoms.

A meeting was held in Easton, Md, on
Thursday for the purpose of organizing II
local board of health and following this u
public meeting was held in the Town Hail.
Mt which lecture was delivered by DIR. G..
w. Chancellor of Baltimore, on Malaria
and the Means of Preventing its Mischiev-
Gus Effects" After some Introductory re-
marks, DIR. Chancellor described malaria as
an invisible and diffusiblc vapor, generated
apparently under certain circumstances of
heat and moisture. in stagnant water, and
in damp soils, particularly when accompa-
MED with rank vegetation. Diseases thence
arise, which form the peculiar scourgc of
hot climates and even of cold climates in
hot seasons of the year. 1t is well known
that marshy districts are peculiarly I'M
healthy. 1t appears, from tables drawn by
Mr.. Marct, in which comparison is made
between marshy and mountainous countries,
that one-half of all born in a mountainous
district live to the age of AZ, whereas the
same proportion, in marshy parish, live
only to the age of %. In the hills one
in twenty of all that are born live
to 50; in the marshy districts only one
in ffty-two attans that age. In most of
the counties of Maryland a certain number
of the inhabitants annually fall victims to
malaria, while in certain districts of South
ern MARYLAND and the Eastern Shore the
distcmper is so prevalent ut times rs to in
tcrferc, in Il measure, with agricultural pur-
suits.
In the summer months malaria is pecu-
liarly destructive. 1t usually commences
about the beginning of June, and does not
terminate until the severe autumnal rains
in September or October 1t unfortunately
cncroachcs every year on other parts of the
State where it was formerly unknown, and
there is popularity in the line in which
it advances and in the mode Of its progress:
which hitherto the inhabitants have not
been able to explain 1t is now generally
conceded that this great source of human
misery may be abated, if not completely ex'
tirpatcd, by adopting the following meas
ures: /. Draining the land. 2. Cultivatine
it. g. Employing calcareous manures. 4
Enhancing land apt to be overlooked. .
Procuring wholesome drinking water. Sc
far as our own pest-holc Of Kidwell Bottoms
is concerned, the remedy of embankment il
the only available one, and in fact, the only
remedy needed.
The subject is one of vastly greater ant
more pressing Importance than any othe
to the people of Washington, and DR.. Chan
celors frightful statistics of the relativ
mortality in regions subject to malari
: should be pondered thoughtfully by thos
who have the public welfare in keeping.

ARDUL AZIz MURDER.
Midhat Pacha Denies Participation
in Mysterious Accusations Against
High RersOmnUeS.

LONDON, June 13.-Tho Constantinoplc
correspondent of the Standard telegraphs as
follows: Midhat Pacha has addressed u
communication to the sultan, stating that
personally he had no share in the murder
of the sultan Abdul Aziz, but that he as
sisted in the deposition of Abdul Aziz, be-
cause the late sultan wished to change the
order of succession to the throne and he
was also on the point of sanctioning the
Russian occupation of Constantnoplc. The
most curious partsof Midhat Pacha's COM
munication is that in which he points out
that if Abdul Aziz had not been dcposed
the present sultan would not now occupy
the throne Midhat Pacha attacks several
high pcrsonagcs, including Mahmoud Ncdim
Pacha minister of the interior, whom hc
accuses of having supported Abdul Aziz in
his project for bringing the Russian army ia
Constantinople.

in Washington at the time of his departure
on the Inflated expedition was a fine dress
sword, presented to him by his company when
promoted to u captaincy in a New York
