CAIIlE DISEASE.

LETT ER FROM THE ASSISTANT SECRETARY OF
THE TREASURY To THE STATE DEPART-
MENT.
WASHINGTON, August 20.-The Acting
Secretary Of ,hs Treasury has addressed
letter 10 the Secretary of State in regard 10
the foot and mouth disease in cattle. The
following is copy of the letter:
Il have the honor to inclose herewith a
newspaper slip containing a telegrs sphic dis
patch from London, 10 which it is alleged
that Dodsop, chancellor OF the Duchy of
Lancaster, stated in the House of Commons
that it was sn undoubted fact that the foot
and mouth disease in cattle had been carried
from EnglsDd 10 America, and that the
American quarantine system in relation to
cattle s,ases gave no security sg 4inst the
convey ance OF the disease by men attached
TO. the quarantine eta,ions and by articles
taken out of the quarantine yards; and that
the system looks toto the consider alton only
of the animals themselves. / deem it due
to American interests to state that If the
honorable gentleman named made the re-
have bsen done without knowl-
edge OF all the facts in the case,
and that in some respects such remarks
are calcula ed TO mislead the public miod on
The suhjsc'. Attention is called 10 the in
closed report of the Treasury cattle commis-
soner in regard to The foot and mouth dis
ease among cattle in the United S.atss.
While it ia admitted thst this sease did ex-
ist in herds of cattle imported from Great
Britain, the commissioner gives an emphatic
denial to the present exists nee OF the di-ease
among cattle in the United States. This
state ment is considered important, because 1t
might be inferred from the remarks of Dod-
SOD, IS quoted, that the disease which has
thus been imported from Grea: Britain had
not been eradicated. Ample quarantine
stations exist in the districts of Boston and
Portlsn Me-, and as no contagious or infec'
tious disc ases among cattle in those States ex-
lat, the possibility OF the dsease being COM
municated to our cattle by cattle arriving
at those ports (Which are the only ports on
the New Enga coast where cattle are al
| lowed TO b. quarantine y, are quite remote.

past che had been boarding in Windsor,
where Livingston frequently visited her, and
the husband occasionally. The parties were
married in Spencerport, N. Y near Rochss-

daughter OF well-to-do farmer named Wm.

TIE New York Herald expressCs ths oPin
ion that "if trades unions were intellisently

both these who went and those who remain.
ed" The great csus, Of decrease in wages is
precisely the same that lowers the prices Of
other commodities besides labor-more Ia
borers demanding work than there is work
for lAborers to do. II trades unions decrease
the number Of laborers in any given branch
by helping superAuous workmen to engage
in other occupations where the sm1unt OF
demand Tor labor is up to or above the sup
ply, they would undoubtedly take the only
step that can keep wages up to a fair mark.
The only means outside of strikes by which
wages, in ef=c', have been raised, has been
by cooperation, aud cooperation acts BY
'economiEing the expenditure Of wages, not
y increasing their amount.
