THE CHIEF TRAITOR,
Old jeff Davis RuSheS Into Print and De-
nOunceS General Sherman as a Liar

BALTIMORE, Sept. 30-Thc Sun has a long
letter, written by jefferson Davis from Beau
voir, Miss, on the 3d. to COL j. T. Sharp, of Bal
timore, replying to Gen. William T. Sherman's
so-called report to the War Department, and
which the United States Senate ordered to be
printed as Elk. Doc. No. sc, Forty -e ghth Con-
gress, Second Session" Mr.. Davis says:
continuing Of the great injustice done to
me and to the people represented, by the Senate
making the malicious assault of General Sherman a
public document and giving to his SANDER the impor
lance which necessarily attaches to executive
municaton to the Senate has recently caused request
Tor reply by me to DO pressed with very great
estness For this reason | nave decided to furnish
my reply to you for publication.
Mr.. Davis then proceeds at great length to de-
ny the charges brought against him by General
Sherman, in which he declares he did all in his
power to prevent the war and did not seek the
post of chief executive. He says:
For all the acts of my public life President of the
Confederate States. l responsible at the bar of
history and must accept her verdict which shall do
without the least apprehension that it will be swayed
from truth by the malicious falsehoods of Geneaal
Sherman, even when stamped as an Elk. Doe. by the
United States Senate
The chief statement that Mr.. Davis objects to
is that made by General Sherman, in 1884 be-
fore the Blair Post. G. A. H., that he (Sherman)
had letter in Davs's writing, to the effect that
Davis would turn Lees army against any State
tnaI uiShb dC'einpI 10 seceuo from bnS southern
Confederacy. Davis concludes his letter as fol-
lows:
have. in this vindication not of myself only but
also of the people who honored me with the highest
official position in their gift been compelled to group
together instances Of repeated fasehoods deliberately
spoken and written by General Sherman-the Blair
Post SANDER of myself the defamation of the cbarac
ter of Gen. Albert Sidney Johnston. the
disparagement of the military fame of General
Grant and the shameful and corrupt charge against
General Hampton. have prepared this examination
and exposure only because the Senate of the United
States has given to Shermans SANDER ndor sement
which gives it whatever claims it may have to atten-
ton and of power to mislead in the future having
specially stamped the statement false having
proved its author to be habitua slanderer and
having partisan secretary to make place for this
notice of personal TRADE which neither an Off
cial report nor record made during the war to
entitle it to be received at the Office of archives SUBJ
nit it to the public through the columns of newspa
which discountenanced foul play and msrepre
sentation.

THE DISEASED CATTLE.
No stamping Out" Yet-A Herd of Bulls Dy-
ing in the Vicinity of Kankakee.

CHICAGO, Sept 30.-The State Board of Live
stock Commissioners has practically completed
it's labors, and Professor Salmon, Chief of the
Bureau of 'Animal Industry, left tonight The
members of the board, however, will remain
here and watch the progress Of the disease and
the inspectors will be kept on duty to determine
cases. The board is awaiting some action on
the part of the State authorities. Professor
Salmon thinks there about 2, 400 cattle quar-
antined, and not 5000, as stated. If the disease
spreads to healthy cattle they will. of course be
isolated, as the diseased ones now are strict
watch is being kept at the stockyards for signs
of the disease, but evidences of it have been
discovered. A few cases of Texas fever have
been noted but no pleuro- pneumonia.
1t is now understood that the qua-antned ami
ately slaughtered. Government inspectors will
probably, make careful examination of every
animal in each quarantined place. and separate
ali healthy ones from those that show signs of
disease. 1t is believed that, under this arrange
ment, the quarantine can be kept up several
weeks, il necessary, and healthy animals will be
no more exposed than they have been already.
The disease reported in the dispatches from
Virginia as existing among cattle of that section
is probably Texas fever. Professor Salmon in
vestigated the disease some weeks ago and pro-
nounced 1t fever which is AS serious as pleuro-
pneumonia. although 1t dsappers in cold weather.

county, sold lot of cattle in Chicago, and while
there bought forty head of heavy feeders for his
farm He got them at the Union Stockyards,
fresh from Iowa. The cattle were brought
there. Over half of them are now affected with
Texas fever, and six have died. twenty are in
dangerous condition. 1t is known that the Iowa
cattle were free from disease when they arrived
in Chicago, and Fraughber who is an old cattle
man. believes that his lot were exposed to dis

THE TEMPERANCE ISSUE,

The people of Indiana cannot be deceived
by Republican journal or committee into
believing that the temperance issue is not the
great issue of the campaign.-Sentinel.
No, indeed, they cannot. The people of
Indiana, and the Republicans of Indiana,
know that the Temperance ISSUE" as the Sen
tinel calls It, is at least one of the great issues
of the campaign. The Journal so regards it;
the Republican party so regards it; the Re-
publican State convention so regarded it; the
Republican State platform so regards it; Re-
publican speakers so regardi it.
The first great issue in the campaign is the
equality Of manhood suffrage; the right of
every free American citizen to cast one vote,
and have that vote count as much as any other
mans vote in the determination Of the ques-
tons involved in the election. This is the vital
other issues, and particularly the Temperance
ISSUE" for there can be no effective temper
ance legislation" or legislation upon the liq-
uor trafic-until the infamous disfranchise-
ment of the people is overthrown, disfran-
chisement accomplished by the Democratic
party and the Liquor League joined in unholy
and corrupt alliance. The Republican party
declares straig htforwardly and emphatically
against this domination of the Liquor League
in political affairs; it is pledged to do its ut
most to overthrow and defeat it, and that is
the struggle Il is making this campaign. If
this disfranchisement can be nullifed, and the
people be properly and fairly represented
in the Legislature, there will then
be some hope of the passage Of laws providing
methods by which the people of the several
localities can control the liquor traffic as they
may deem best, and compel it to compensate
for the special burdens it imposes, and for the
relief Of local taxation. That is the declara-
ton of the Republican platform; but until
the people are enfranchised, untilthe upright
eous domination of the Liquor League, acting
through its subservient tool, the Democratic
party, is overthrown, there will be no possibil-
ity of the passage by the Legislature of any
such Observation-Disclosures which the people of
the States of Illinois, of Ohio, of Wiscon-
sin, and Others enjoy, and under which they
have local control of the liquor trafic-but
we shall have continuance of the shame
less supremacy of the Democraticf free
whisky combination, with possible treason
able increase in the amount of the license
asked of saloon keepers, which reasonable

cratic boss, estimates at one dollar and

The Sentinel is right. The people do con-
slider the temperance issue a great issue
the people not only of Indiana, but of
the entire country-and they will, sooner or
later, rise in their indignation and break into
pieces the scandaous alliance which now
fastens Democratic msrule and Liquor League

made affidavit that he went to the prison last fall
with Dr. Montgomery, the prison physician, and
that he held post-mortem on colored man.
and, preliminary to the performance he ripped
the body down the front and back and ierked
the skin from the body and threw it iato

A sNEAKING POLICY.

The candidate of the third party for Secre-
tary of State is a man named Hughes. He is
travelling through the State under practically
false pretenses, advertising himself not a
candidate, as we are informed, but
simply that "Mr Hughes will make
Speech" giving some sort of a taking
title to his address. When be secures an au-
dience, he at once opens upon Republicans
and the Republican party in an abusive at
tack. One of his points is that Colonel Cum
back said some years ago. that local option
could not be had under the Constitution,
while he said, in his Goth of July speech in
Indianapolis, that local option was constitu-
tional. Colonel Cumback's first statement,
made at Pendleton, was based upon the BELIEF
that the Supreme Court still adhered to the
Mays case, in which the principle of local OPP
ton was overthrow, while the second state
ment was based upon the fact that the Mays
case has been practically repudiated, and that
the Supreme Court, in number of cases, has
affirmed the principle of local option law,
notably in decisions upon the voting Of rail
way subsidies. OF course, Mr.. Hughes does
not know this; or if he does know it, is not
candid enough to state the truth.
This is specimen of the questionable
means resorted to by some of the leaders of
the third party to help the Democratic free
whisky alliance, in whose interests they are
working, even if they be not directly under
their pay and control Surely if the third
party movement is the honorable and praise
worthy thing some of its advocates would
have the people believe; if the men engaged
in it be, as they claim, better and holier than
anybody else, there is no reason why it should
not be openly and honestly avowed. Why
does its principal candidate attempt to sneak
through the State in his canvass? Why does
he not avow himself third-party candidate
for Office, and go before the people on his
merits and the merits of his cause as polit-
ical nominee2 Such methods are not COM
patibe with the loud professions we hear, and
the denunciation of other people because of
alleged "evasion" and lack of boldness.
