SMALLPOX AT MONTREAL.
A General Absence of PIaeards-New
Cases Reported.

MONTREAL, October % AT meeting of
the Provincial Board of Health tonight,
the sanitary police reported general ab-
sence OF smallpox placards.in st. Cuene-
gonde. 1t was decided to proceed vigor-
ously against the St. Cuenegonde Board of
Health for its persistent disregard of the
instructions of the Provincial Board in
not providing suitable place tor the
isolation of smallpox patients. 1t was
also decided that ssamen in vessels arriv-
ing here should not be allowed to enter
the city until they had been vaccinated or
revaccinsted. This evening the health
authorities discovered very pest-hole of
smallpox in Notre Dame street. In one
room eight children of one family were
found suffering from smallpox, and
in an adjoining room, separated only
by a thin partition, three other
cases were found and one
dead body. The corpse was buried
and all the cases will be removed to the
hospital in the morning. None of these
had been reported. The alleged forged
certificate of vaccination found on an
American at Ottawa has been found to be
genuine, and the Board OF Health are in
quiring how the traveller became possessed
of it, as it wss issued to Chas. Horton.

GENERAL WASHINGTON NOTES.
Why the Mexican Government Faile
10 Establish Quarantine Against Ye
IOw.Fever.

why the Mexican Government Failed
TO Establish Quarantine Against Vel
IOw-Fever.
WASHINGTON, October 22.-Senor R me
70, the Mexican Minister, speaking to an
Associated Press reporter tonight regard
ing the failure of the Mexican government
to establish quarantine against yellow
fever, said: THE Mexican government,
having been informed that the Governor
of Texas had issued proclamation estab-
fishing quarantine on the Rio Grande
against passengers coming overland from
Vera Cruz or from places infected with
yellowfever, ordered commission oi
medical experts to investigate and report
on the subject. The opinion OF these gen.
tlemen, expressed in their report, ia that
such precautions are considered unneces-
sary, because persons arriving at the City
of Mexico, or at any of the other States in
interior of the country, suffering from that
disease, have never had it developed there
or communicated it to anybody else. 1t is
scarcely less possible that travellers from
Vera Cruz, arriving five or six days latel
at Ell Paso, Tex, via Mexico City, should
carry the germs of the fever to the United
States without first spreading it in some o
the Mexican cities through which they
have passed, which has never been known
to take place. That is the reason why NJ
precautions at all have ever been taken a
the City of Mexico against yellow-fever
the government considering them who'll,
| unnecessary and vexatious."

The opening yesterday at Columbus of
The Industrial College for Women, Of
which our special dispatch gives very
full account, is an event upon which
all the citizens of Mississippi may
pride themselves. 1t is an exam
pie that every State in the Union
should follow. Women should every
where be placed upon en- equal footing
with men, not merely in regard to educa-
ton, but everything else. Sex should be
expunged from constitutions and law
books and women be made absolutely as
free and the equals Of men before the law
We congratulate our neishbors and friends
OF Mississippi upon the auspiciouI
event, and we unite with Gov. Lowry in
predicting for the college the utmost sue
cess commensurate with its scope ant
powers; and let us say, additionally, tha
We think the occasion would have beer
shorn of more than half of its signifi
cance had not Mrs. Peyton of Halle
hurst been present and spoken. Her bus

WASHINGTON. October pa delegt-
ton of Southern men, among whom were
Senators Ransom, Harris and Gibson and
Congressman King of Louisiana, were
heard to-day by Secretary Manning and
Assistant Secretary Fairchild in behalf of
the rice planters. They seek to have re-
scinded or amended an order issued dur
ing Secretary Folger's administration, un-
der which they say food rice is admitted
in large quantities at the rate of 20 per
specific rate charged by law. The order
referred to relates to granulated rice, an
enumerated article imported largely tor
the brewers. The claim is made by the
planters that the importstions under the
order are doing great injury to the mar
ket for food rice.

The Depew statement az to President
Johnson's patriotism, imp ugned, as he al
ieges, by Gen. Grant, is still the leading
topic in New York. Gen. Sherman, when
asked what he knew, admitted mat he
had great mass of documentary evil
dence proving just what transpired as
to the Mexican mission, which he, when
Grant declined it, undertook, accompanied
by Col. Lew Campbell of Ohio, but he
positively declines to let other eyes than
his own see it. In this we think the
general is wrong. The character of two
Presidents of the United States is
in question and he should do what
ever he can to clear up the
doubts raised by Depew. But without
any further testimony, We think that all
doubts Of Johnson's patriotism are set at
rest by the fac. THAI when he desired to
send Grant on that Mexican mis-
sion he called Sherman, the next
in rank to take his place, and
it would be reflection upon
the hero OF the March , the Sea" to sup
pose for moment that 5hnson could Sc
~uAS AAAl to-opSA1tttAl III al lIcdSOlldDlo
designs. But aside from this overwhelm-
ing proof OF Johnson's rectitude of pur-
po e and obedience to the law, there is his
whole elife,e~fseoiau,,d dr-in,s tho --a-, and his
determined fight in defense of the consti-
tuition during the wild Gays of reconstruc-
ton to prove his loyalty to the Union. st.
Paul himself was no truer to his life and
ministry than Andrew Johnson to the
constitution and the Union, and it is an
Infamous piece of cowardly and wanton
defsm atom at this date to raise
even a doubt of his fealty. The
truth is that neither Grant nor his
friends ever forgive Johnson for branding
him a liar. This offense furnished the
animus for the traduction of as pure a
patriot as ever lived, and the libelous
statement that he cringed TO any so-called
or assum aIistocrats at the South or the
North, or even for a second contemplated
a revolt or rebellion against the authority
of which he was the center and the execu,
tive power. The story is Tidiculously and
absurdly false upon its face.

The Gould Quo yyarranto s,,tts.

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, March 1.-Gov. John G.
Brown, general solicitor of the Gould rail
road system, in an interview says that the
quo warranto suits instituted In the Missouri
supreme court against Jay Gould and asso-
ciates for violation of a constitutional pro-
vision prohibiting common control of paral-
lei railroad linss, were inspired by President
Plant. of the Southern Express company.
to compel Gould to admit that company to
express privileges over the Southwestern
Gould system at Plants own terms. The
Southern Express some time since was put
off the Iron Mountain road, and Plant at
once commenced suit which he won. This
and two other suits are now pending on APP
peal to the United States supreme court.
The Gould counse refused to agree to
a continuance, whereupon the quo war
ranto proceedings were begun, to force
a compromise. Speaking for Gould, Gov.
brown says that there will be no compromise
made, but If the federal court decides that
the Southwestern system must admit Plants
company, the Pacific express will at once
invade oil the territory Of the Plant COM
pany. He denies that there is any parallel
ism between the Missouri Pacific, Missouri.
Kansas q Texas and Iron Mountain, and de-
clares that there can be no violation Of the
constitution as long as the maximum rates
of transportation fixed by law are observed.
Hence the quo warranto suits cannot stand.
