Possibility of Infection from Woods.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 1.-The Secretary of
the Treasury received letter from promi-
nent firm in New York, calling attention to
the fact that large quantities of wool of a low
grade are exported from Egypt, Syria and
countries in their vicinity to this country
which is the principal market for them, be-
SIDES considerable quantities of bed woods
Extracted from old mastressesl from Con-
stantinople, etc. The woods are frequently
transhipped at Marseilles and England for
this country. I'm view of the epidemic now
raging in the Eastern Mediterranean, these
woods might convey infection as we'll as
rags.

with twinkling eyes and an infectious l9ugh,
was that the sheriff had in the room in
which the magistrate sat all the prisoners
under his charge The Jail was 50 insecure
that he was obliged to take his prisoners
with him, and he had them all herded up in
a corner like so many sheep. The President
remembers a little red-headed fellow, APP
parently about sixteen years old who had
been arrested for killing his own cousin in
quarrel over game of cards. There were
some half-dozen other prisoners, all crowded
into the corner aud surrounded with kind
of paling. The examination of the alleged
murderer continued for a day or two, and
the President believes he was finally dis
charged; but in the meantime he and his
friends had returned to Lawrence.
The President recollects visiting one or two
other places in the Territory, but cannoi
now recall the particulars. He did not go
up to Topeka, then scarcely more than
mere settlement, as he was informed, but
which he now knows to be large and flour
ishing city.
But for the panic of 1857 and its far-reach-
ing consequences, the President feels per
suaded that he would have settled IN the
West Summarizing the recolleetions of his
memorable trip, the President suggested that
they were entirely novel and very exciting
to him. The excitement at the political
meeting in Leavenworth and it's sudden dis
persal by the shooting; the sitting at the
dinner table in friendly conversation with
man dragged out few moments later to an
swer charge of murder committed the
night before; the incidents of stage riding
over roads both excellent and execrable; the
ride to Lecompton and the peculiar expert
ences of the visit there-all these incidents,
not unnsal to the people in Western Ter
ritory, were entirely novel and somewhat
exciting to man reared in and fresh from
the orderly society and finished civilization

ing mp location for proposed new set
Element The party consisted of Jas. A.

who appears to be spokesman, says he Is =
practical civil engineer and well acquaint-
with this Southwest country, being one
OF the pioneers In Sumner county. He
says that the location selected for the
county seat of Clark county Is near the cen
tire ofthe county, at the old Bear Creek
ranch, or rather the Soldiers Grave ranch.
40 miles south Of Dodge City on the Camp
Supply road. 1t is in fertile valley, with
living springs Of pure water on every side.
Already one Of the party has filed on I6O
acres covering the proposed town site, and
rs soon rs the organization is completed he
will deed the Land to the town site trustees.
The party has not met with any great en-
couragement from the stOckmen ont there,
and as Mr.. Lawrence expressed it, @they
don't want to have anything 10 DO with the
stockmen, more than is absolutely neces-
sary.
Mr.. Lawrence thinks that there will be no
difficulty Yin getting as many as twenty
good families from Sumner county to go
out and aid in the settlement OF Clark
county, and that the greatest trouble will
be to keep back the rabble that inmrably
inaist on taking the front Of the procession

SECOND AND THIRD DIVISIONS.

Second and third divisions of the Terri
tory roundup have been heard from. Tony
Day was at Kiowa yesterday and reported
that the 2d division WIS to have worked
the Quinlin range last Monday. This di-
vision was well supplied with men, but
had been delayed some by the high water.
The 3D. division worked the Day range last
week, or rather went through it and quit it
as too big job. There are not enough
horses or men on the 81 division, Mr.. DAY
says, and they can not begin to do the
work necessary. On the Day range alone
$4,000 strays are reported, and that being
the case a second roundup will be neces-
sary.
A large roundup outfit, estimated to con.
sist of eighty men and four hundred horses,
from the Cherokee Strip, passed up the riv-
er this week The party had gathered
about 200 strays belonging to northern
parties, and has been doing good work in
gathering. So far as can be learned the
entire party were pleased with their sue
cess in collecting the cattle of the Chcro-
Strip observation-disclosures Transporter

pert counted out the pile, one thousand of
which wasin gold, they were still worse
troubled, and actually could not count the
money. They then asked for drafts, and
