investigating the plague in that section, sends

from home He was first seized with gripping
pains, and in a few moments was pdralyzed SO
completely that he had to be carried
to the house. The gripping was followed by
hours he was dead man. From this point
the disease spread with great rapidity, and it
now extends over territory embracing about
one half of the norther portion of Wise county,
Va the northern portion of Lee county the entire
county of Letcher in KY, the upper edge of Har-
len county, the southwestern part of Knott the
southwestern part of Pike, the southwestern
portion Of Leslie. This embraces territory
about seventy miles wide by eighty miles in
length"

Straight creek, Glover Fork, and other
small streams which rise on the

heads of those streams which rise

PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 30-A special despatch
to the Press from Salem N j., says the prison
officials on Friday night discovered that How
ard Sullivan, a colored lad under sentence to be
hanged on Tuesday for the murder of Ella
Watson, on a lonely road near Yorktown,
in August last, had disconnected the ball and
chain from mis- ankle. To-day it was discovered
that Sullivan had loosened the ventilator in the
roof of the room in which he was confined The
prisoner, to-day realizing that he must hang,
confessed to reporter that he had removed the
ventilator, pried open a trap-door and
got out on the roof on the nights of Wednesday
and Thursday of last week. He, however, re.
turned to his cell, postponing the time of escape
till Friday night That night the sheriff placed
the death watch over him, and the
plan for escape was discovered. Sullivan said
today that he did not want his feet or
hands tied when on the gallows 81 want" said
he, ito show people what miracles can be done

Above all earthly influences is my
country dear to me- The lips that
taught me to say ''Our Father" taught me to
say Our fatherland.' God is my witness that
l have given all my strength to that which shall
make our Nation prosperous and glorious Not
by the lustre Of armies would 1 seek her growth,
but by the civilization that should carry its
blessings to the establishment of the political
justice and intelligence of the continent. This
is the vision dream of my life, and in
spires me as no personal ambition could
do. l am not discouraged at the severit Y
of former friends. AS soon as my health Is
again restored to me shall so right on in the
course have hitherto pursued. Who will fol-
low and accompany me it is for each to decide
l shall labor for enfranchisement of men with
out regard to class color. In doing this 1
will cheerfully work with others, with
parties, with any and all men that seek
the same glory as ], but / will not become a
partisan. will reserve my right to differ or
dissent and respect the same right in others
Seeking the personal liberties of others, do not
mean to forfeit my own. 1 think 1 discern be-
yond the present troubles that fair form of Lib
erty-Gods dear child-whose whole beauty was
never yet disclosed. L know her solemn face
and that she is divine. l know by her girdle of
purity, by her scepter of justice, by that atmos
phere of love issuing from her lips, tnat she is
more royal than king.

THE KENTUCKY PLAGUE.
A Visitor Describes the Terrible Condition of
the People in the BackWOOdS.
[From The journal Of sunday.


LOUISVILLE, KY, Nov 20 Arthur II. Looms,
the travelling representative of New York firm,
is in this city to-day, having just returned from
trip through the plague-strcken district of
eastern Kentucky. Mr. LOOMS said: 81 was
four days in Martin county without disposing of
single article. The people are absolutely crazy;
they have use for anything but collins. A
great deal has been printed in the newspapers
about the situation in Martin and adjoining
counties, but it has been an imperfect reflex of
the existing deplorable condition Of the people.
l know of instances where whole families have
been swallowed up in graves where one
man has survived to bury his family
and friends, and then been found dead with no
living creature near him except perhaps, faith
full dog Flocks of sheep and droyes of cattle
that used to browse on the hillsideS and along
the range of the Cumberlands now lie dead and
rotting. While the pebbles glisten on the bot
toms of the creek beds, wells and cisterns have
been drained to the bottom, and springs are
longer to be relied unon for supply of water.
The ground is literally parched, and where veg
citation formerly bloomed luKuriantly there is
nothing now but decay. Thousands are said to
have died within the past two weeks.
"What, in the opinion of the natives, is the
acuse of this fatal calamityl
at is very evident that the chief agent of
death is starvation. The people in those dis
triets are almest without communication with
the outside world. An occasional drummer,
like myself, strays among them once year, and
few of the most prosperous visit some large
cities once in lifetime. A good season brings
with it bountifsl crops. Wool and other native
products are rudely manufactured into clothing.
But when the crops fail them the order of
things is reversed. l am speaking now of the
backwoods neighecrhoods, where the plague has
ragged with the greatest fatality. 1 learned,
while in Martin county that the
crop yield for two successive seasons
had been failures, and the natives
are without money and without means to pur
chase bread The shutting off of the water
supply has brought to the surface poisonous
liquids, which, famished for water, the people
drank, and the consequence was DEATH The
| first symptoms are violent gripings, and after
this a raging headache, and hot fever ensues,
and the patient usually fingers two days, suffer
ing mental agony before death. l understand
| that several physicians have been commissioned
by the STATE to make careful analysis of the
water and describe the poisonous ingredients.
Before 1 left there was light rainfall, with
prospects of continued falling weather, and the
opinion prevails that the plague has passed
through its most dangerous stages, and is now
on the waue. During the last two days of my
stay heard of very few deaths"

difference; but when they become responsible
for affairs, they must show their hands affrma-
lively"
"Was Mr. Blaine the best candidate of the
party"
81 do not think it is in the interest of the
party to discuss that question. Mr. Blaine was
the choice of the party. Rank and file of the
party wanted him. He was nominated. and made
a magnificent campaign He proved himself, III
my Judgment the greatest statesman of the
age by his bearing and speeches to the people.
He would have been elected, but fol- one or
two plumbers in other men. the last week OF the
contest. He is a great man, and it is shame
that he should have been defeated by other mems
mistakes"
'grhen You have faith in the Republican party
maintaining vigorous organ1zatonP
Il do. The battle of 1858 will begin very
soon, and will become hotter and hotter until it
is fought out. The people of the North Will not
any longer passivey submit to the manner in
which the South is kept solid If the people of
the South on a free and fair vote, want to re
main solid, that is one thing. If by preventing
a free and honest vote and count they continue
solid, it is quite another thing The South has
been kept solid heretofore by controlling the
colored vote by intimidation, or by preventing
its being counted. The Northern people will not
submit longer to any scheme which results In
barring the colored people from the right to east
their votes freely and have them honestly
counted Certainly not less than four Southern
States would have cast their electoral votes TOR
Mr. Blaine at the recent election on free and
fair vote"
What will be the effect of the election on
! business
For some little time the effect will be very
! injurious to the business of the country. When
! it comes to be understood that the Democratic
| party can do nothing in Congress TO change the
| financial policy of the country, including the
4 tariff, the public confidence will revive and
business with it. But if it should turn out that
| the Democratic party can get control of both
| branches of Congress, and control the tariff leg
islation in my opinion the business interests of
the country would be unsettled and seriously
/ injured for several years to come"
Have you seen Gen. Logan recentlyW
81 saw him lor a half hour on Wednesday

fore the election. The General does not seem
| discouraged on account of his defeat for Vice
president any more than his friends are account

which think satisfied the party in every por-
ton of the country. hope he may be returned
to the Senate, but in view of the political com
plexion of the Illinois Legislature the result on
that question is uncertain. He is hopeful Of the
