CALDWELL, KS, March 12-The second

city to-day. Three hundred cattlemen

the convention with speech concerning
the foot and mouth disease in this State.
He urged the convention to adopt strong
resolutions concerning the suppression of
the same, and also called attention to the
National Livestock Convention to be held
in st. Louis this season. The convention
adopted resolutions urgently requesting
the Governor to call a special session of
the Legislature to enact laws to provide
means to stamp out the disease. Gov.
Click was telegraphed the action the
meeting had taken. A resolution
was passed in favor OF st. Louis
as the place of holding the first
National Cattlemen's Convention; also
instructing the committee of thirty to vote
for Kansas City as the point for the next
annual meeting. A resolution was passed
instructing the Board of Directors OF the
association to appropriate money to pay

diately shipped to the sufferers by the Ohio
Valley foods. Stockm' report the cattle

uneasiness on account of there being no
State laws concerning this disease. The

OF Our Meat Products from Foreign
Counfries-ihe senate's Report.
WASHINGTON, March 12.-The Senate
Committee on Foreign Relations to dsy
received an inforn nal report from the suo
committee, consisting OF Senators Miller
lCal. Edmunds, Morgan and Pendleton,
appointed to consider the subject of the
exclusion of our meat products from for
eign countries. The recommendations of
the sub committee are in general terms
that bill be enacted authorizing the
President in mis- discretion, whenever sat
isfied that our products are excluded or
Disseminated against by any foreign
country Oh unjust grounds, to issue his
proclamation suspending the importation
OF any or all products Of the nation
referred to, and also authorizing the
President to establish system of inspec
ton and ceriitication Of the quality OF our
meat products at ports of expectation. 1T
is further recommended that provision be
made TO prevent the importation of adul-
terAted wines, etc, aud that in certain
emergencies all articles suspected of being
aduiterated shall be subject to inspection.
The full committee discussed the subject
at considerable length, and the prevalent
feeling was decidedly in favor of the pro-
rosed lines Of legislation. Action was
deferred however, to await the formula
ton of general suggestions and the receipt
of desired information from the Treasury
Department bearing on methods of meat
inspection.

WASHINGTON, March 12.-The House

to-day heard the testimony of Representa-
tive Ellis, OF Louisiana, regarding his al
legged connection with Star-route contracts.
He made statement broadly and en-
phatically denying the receipt Or promise
of money for such aid as he has rendered
to Brett or for securing mail contracts,
which aid he said was only such as
he had rendered to other Louisi-
ana people whenever he could. 1t
was this character OF aid, which he, as
Representative, considered il his duty to
render in the interest of his constituents.
He showed that on receiving the first init
nation that the paper in possession Of
Inspector Woodward cast imputation on
him Elhs) he at once sought ont Brett,
who went with him to the inspector, to
whom Brett stated there was not the
slightest foundation for any reflection on
Ellis's integrity.
p. II. Woodward, postofiice inspector,
testified that the story floating about con-
cerning Ellis was mere idle gossip; he

WAsHINGToN, March 12.-"They may
send all the ships they want to up North,
but don't think there is much chance of
finding Greeley's party alive" remarked
an old salt at the navy-yard, who had per-
sonally visited the frigid regions, to the

"Why, don't you think they will be
found alive?"
These folks who think they will find
Greely safe at Lady Franklin Bay seem to
take it for granted that he will not obey
positive orders and &c down to Littleton
Island. They give theories why he will
disregard those orders, but believe that
he will certainly obey them. He will go
down to Littleton Island. The winter be-
gins in October. He will not find the pro-
visions he expected to find His men will
not find the news from home that they ex-
pected to find, and which urged them for
ward on their march. Then, think of the
disappointment. Now, that is not gener-
ally taken into account, but can tell you
that when men once lose their spirits, it
does not take long to break down their
health. They well know that their only
hope of safety is in getting hack to Lady
Franklin Bay. Then the long march, re-
turning over the same road, with the dark
ness of the long winter closing in about
them. ] tell you, sir, it is something to
think of. How are they to live? They
will be incumbered with sick, they will be
low in spirits, and / think the chances are
decidedly against their getting back In
safety to Lady Franklin Bay. However,
hope not, for they are brave men and
should not be lost"

The Supreme Court OF the United States,
IN its decision on the legal-tender case,
delivered last week, determines that as the
issue was made to provide "for the COM
mon defense and for the general welfare" !"
it comes under the powers granted by the
constitution, and decl lres that Congress is
the sole Judge whether the act was con-
ducive to those ends. Thus" says the
New York Commercial Baletin, call that is
required to make an act of Congress con-
stitutional is that it shall be INTENDED to
realize some object contemplated in the
constitution. The mere intention is the
controlling factor in law; and no matter
if the neans employed tend to a result
the direct reverse of the professed intent,
the court has no right TO interfere. There
is no possible perversion of legislative
function that may not escape the challenge
of the court under this definition OF the
respective powers of the Judiciary and
the Legislature" 1t is latitudinarian-
ism OF the most dangerous kind. 1t robs
our written constitution of its chief value
its limitations-and opens the door wide
TO all sorts OF encroachments upon the
rights Of the States and the liberty OF the
individual citizen.

He Told Miss Hill About His Baby.

SAN FRANCISCO, March 12-In the Sha-

cousin OF the plaintiff, testified that on
the evening before Sharon's arrest in Sep
tember last, he accompanied Miss Hill to
the Palace Hotel. He heard her say to
Sharon: "You know, Senator, am your
lawful welded wife, though you told some
of the best people in the city that | am
only your mistress" The Senator denied
the accusation. Witness swore that the
marriage certificate was the same docu-
ment he had seen in December, 1881. Miss
Hill, the plaintiff, testified in her
own behalf as follows: Il first conversed
with Sharon in the spring of 1880; he said
he heard l was stock sharp; that
il | would come to his Office he would
give me some points; gave him $500 to
invess; he always talked love to me when
] visited his office; said he wanted me to
love him; if would let him love me he
would give me 5000 month and house;
told him that he mistook me, and said
that millions could not buy me; he said
he was only teasing me, and that he loved
me better than anyone; he proposed q
secret marriage, but resented the propo-
sitiOn; he told Inc about a woman with a
baby in Philadelphia, and said he didn't

The State Board of Health has issued a
stringent order to the health officer Of
Davidson county to stamp out and prevent
the spread of smallpox, by vaccination,
disinfection and isolation. The Aaericdn,
in publishing this order, explains that "the
health officer has done his best, but the
opposition he meets with at times almost
neutralizes his efforts. Some parties in
the Thirteenth District refuse to allow a
danger flag put up, and refuse to be vac
cinated, and the County Court Committee
has not furnished all the aid it could give"
This being the case, the health officer
should invoke the aid of the courts to en-
force the sanitary laws and the instructions
of the State Board of Health. Vicious igno-
rance in such case is as dangerous and
damaging as crime.

tI.>n must DO ms the Party wishes.
New York, March l0.-Ex-Speaker Ran
dali came over from Washington Monday.
and in the afternoon was driven to Gram
ercy Park, where he had long talk with
the Democratic sage. 1t is learned that
the three-fold purpose of his visit was to
get from headquarters the New York SEN
timent on the tariff bill, to inquire into
Tilden's real wishes with regard to the
Presidential nomination, and to find out
who was Tilden's choice, if he did not
want the nomination. Mr.. Randalls own
ambition, it appears, having abandoned
the hope that he can lead the ticket, is to
form coalitions that will make him the
power behind the throne in the event
of Democratic administration.
The Gramercy Park conference seems
to have left him in doubt about 1ilden's
wishes regarding Tilden, but he came
away thoroughly impressed with Henry
B. Payne's fitness for the nomination, in
case the demand for the old ticket should
not be urgent. 1t is expected that Mr.
RandalPs conclusions will be disclosed
shortly in detail at Washington. Col.
Woolley, of Cincinnati, believing that
Randall's ear would be reasonably sym
pathetic, poured into it tais afternoon a
strong TRADE against the alleged folly of
nominating Payne. Mr.. Randall heard
him through, and then, turning on him
coldly, said: "The party, sir, will make
