Tlie Cattle riopnc.
From Vie T)ilunt.
Our In-1 accounts of too cattle plague In Eng
land slow that up 10 tho 3d of March, during
tbo f ix months in which the epidemic has fo lar
prevailed, 187,051) cattle have been infected, of
which 117,Cr)4 have diod directly from the dis
ease, and 26,135 have been killed by way of pre
ventinR It? sprrnd. But this statement is only
the inspector's report, and docs not pretend to
give the whole number of cattle which have per.
i flicd since the beginning of tho post in tho
latter days of Aupust. A partial plaeue of tho
same character broke out also among the sheep
eoroe months ago; but we are not distinctly
informed of the extent of its ravages. It ap
pears tliat the pencral epidemic had increased
steadily up to the latest mall from England,
every step of its march becoming more alarm
ing. The number of deaths, which averaged
a thousand or more per week in Scptr-mbor,
increased from 1700 to 2000 in October. Up
to Kovcuibcr, 17,073 animals bad been attacked,
of Mhich only 848 could recover or would be
allowed to recover.
By the middle of November, 20,000, or, nl was
ntted,5one in a thousand had perished; and up
to LV'Ceniber, 40,00(lhad caught tho disease. By
the 1st oi January the number reached 7.'J,.r4J ;
7ii83 dying in one week: and in the lust weeK of
January, 1)243. By the middle ol January,
107,0!i8 had been attacked, only 15,027 remain
ing under treatment. The February papers pic
ture tho plague as positively awful in tho
country, and by the middle of the month,
160,000 cattle had become in lected, and all but
40,000 had died. At this writing, the number
of victims cannot lull short ol 200,000. live
sixths of which have perished absolutely.
Thece are onlv the Cattle Inspector's figures,
whilo it is possible that the entire live stock
killed by the plague is much nearer to 300,000.
We can have no idea ol tlie number of beeves
prematurely killed and sold ut from one to two
shillings per pound by the butchers, lu oraer to
tave ootli meat and money. But from all
these facts, it Is plain, in the gravest sense,
that our neighbor, John Bull, has boon rapidly
losing tfesh.
Several opinions have been current in England
as to the origin of the pestilence, borne of ttio
country farmers satisfied themselves in tracing
it back to tht! cow-keepers of the metropolitan
districts (a class more or less kindred with our
own metropolitan swill-milk makers), and there
stopped inquiry. That the dispose was imported
from Iiusia, and communicated from the large
centres, is, however, the more accepted belief.
It is remarked that in Russia animals are in
general treated with greater hardship and dis
comfort than in any other part of Europe. But
we have no doubt that in the crowded cattle
mar kote of England there was every condition
to invite the disease. London periodicals have
related, from time to time, those mysteries of
atrocity which, in the conveying, driving, and
killing of fevered and exhausted tlesh, make up
a part of the popular bee! supply of London.
The fact seems consequent and obvious a
timely warning, too, against the dangers of our
own slaughter-house system that in all the
earlier stages of the plague the greatest
ravages occurred in the metropolitan districts.
We are a believer in that trite, patent maxim
which declares that there is ho reason what
ever for epidemic in nature; but if cholera
breaks out among men who are packed and
penned together in artificial pest-holes, no
wonder, then, that the plague will at last
infect the brutes which, in a hundred name
less ways, , undergo untold miseries that the
barbarous indiiierentism of civilization cannot
aftord to inflict directly upon itself. The
wretched contact - of huddling, driving, and
stifling crowds of insane and distempered
animal!1, is conserved to give a taste to our
common beef. It would not surprise ua to hear
that all the unnecessary torture which beef
uudeigoes before it is eaten reacts, in some
measure, upon the eater. Inspectors of meat
and milk have only a superficial oflice. Laws
against cruelty to animals, and societies for its
detection and prevention, are urgently needed.
As jet no decided measure have been taken
in England to check or stay the epidemic. Pro
fessor tiarogee,' it appears, predicted its wide
spread from the start, unless an immediate resort
was had to the pole-ax, the favorite Dutch aud
Prussian mode of extirpation; but this appa
rently cruel and costly, but now (it seems) ne
cessary method, has not, till of late, gained the
mind of the authorities. The Professor further
argued that, as the disease proceeds from con
tact, the transportation of cattle in large num
bers should be at once stopped on all the large
railways, and that cattle sales and beef shows
should be suspended in the market towns an
advice followed in puit by local communities,
which have even gone so far as to close the ordi
nary live-meat markets for months, giving wide
room to the vegetanan doctrine, and a text and
sway of which it had not dreamed. But It was
not till about a month ago that the suggestions
of Professor Gamgee and others took shape in a
bill presented in Parliament by Sir John Grey.
One feature ol this bill, providing for the com
pensation of cattle-owners by the collection of
innd-mtcs, gave rise to a debate in which lirigut
and Mill took part against the stubborn defend
ers ot that oppressive privilege and curse of the
English economy, tho law of primogeniture.
The aristocracy, who are mainly the land
owners, and can rent their lauds at artificial
prices, propose, in short, to lay the added ex
pense of the plasnie principally on the impove
rished farming classes of lessees, who are the
greatest losers by the calamity, and whom, too
lrequently, its ravages have cut short of ability
to pay their year's rent. Now, it is vigorously
insisted that' the land monopolists or nobility
should take their duo, proportionate land-share
of the burden which threatens to fall bo heavily
on the farmer; and thus the cattle-plague, it it
lasts long enough, promises to assail with some
etl'ect the enormous immunity ol hereditary ten
ure in Eneland.
All methods of treating the plague have thus
far proved ineffectual, except in u few cases.
Allopathy and hoinu.'opathy have been explored
in vain lor a curative. Vaccinatlou, after a
thorough trial, has tailed. In Holland, where
the pest is also at its height, a number of cattle,
it is said, have been cured at a very early period
of the disease bv the well-known hydropathic
practice of rubbing and wet-packing. A Ger
man urazir r is renorted to have anulied netro
leum to the skill and food ot the animal with
preventive success. Finally, an American doc
tor undertakes to show that the d'seaae is caused
by parasites growing on the skin, and can be
checked by a washing ot corrosive sublimate.
This theory, which appears wide apart from the
experience of English doctors, would link the
cattle-plague with tne trichinm disease now ue
strovhiff the nork-euters of certain parts of Oer
many; but no conclusive sign of the worm has
yet been louna in oeei.
According to Mr. Townsend Glover, who wrote
in November last from Europe, tho disease Is
not at all unlike that which was so alarmingly
epidemic in Florida some years ago.where cattle
were stricken down, after a short sutterlng, In
annarentlv 'cood condition." till a post mortem
examination proved the contrary. It may be as
well to assure ourselves that our own cattle are
not exempt in a given contingency, while the
rinderped remains a problem and a plagve.
Another date from England assures us that
new flirures are added to the sum of disasters,
in the violent breaking out of the plague among
siian T he murrain has now become a more
national alarm than even the epidemic of
Kenianism; and it remains to be seen what eiTeet
toe tormer win nave upuu mo uuguou iuuwm
policy.
The Fisheries -A Dangerous Question.
From the Timet.
The other day a telegraphic Item informed us
of the fitting out of national vessels to protect
the lnlerest9 of American fishermen on tbo coasts
of British North Ametlca. A contemporary enu
merates seven vessels, carrying eighty six guns,
as 'n course of preparation for service in this'
"flying squadron."
Now, we have tidings from England, on 'the
authority of the London Times, which Indicate
the approaching departure of a war vessel "to.
see that the rights of tne fishery, which revort
to the British C rown, tire not infringed upon, and'
also to prevent coll'sions btweeM the fishermen
ol the Provinces and those of tho United Slates."
The veselto be thus r-pecmll.v detailed will be
an addition to the powerful force already repre
senting England iu those w aters.
These preparations on both sl ics may enable
some who have pooh-poohPd the termination of
reciprocity as a trifling affair, to realize at Mast
one of the embarrassing and perilous questions
which that event revives. They show taat tho
contingencies which were a continual sourco of
apprehension up to the period of tho treaty are
about again 1o arise, to irritate and perplex both
countries; and further, that born countries are
adopting measures Identical With these which
before the treaty kept the fishing interests ot
New England and tho Provinces perpetually
Under an apprehension ot hostilities
A reference to the treaty, now defunct, is of
itself sutlicient to prove the importance with
which the question was regarded by contract
ing parties. The essential provisions of the
treaty were embraced in lour articles, and
of these two pertain exclusively to the tish-eries-a
circumstance of which the Congres
sional opponents ol reciprocity uppear to b
profoundly ignorant. Their speeches in the
recent debates proceeded wholly on the as
sumption that the interchange of commo
dities constituted the beginning and th? end
of the arrangement between this country
aud the Provinces; overlooking the undoubted
tact, that by reciprocity we secured lor our
fishermen important concessions, and averted
a liability to international complications to
which in past years the records of the State De
partment have borne ample testimony.
Into the merits of the controversy as to the
lntet and meaning ol the Convention of 1818,
we. are not required to enter. For our present
purpose, it is enough to know that by the con
struction which the British Government, in
compliance with the solicitation of the marlumo
provinces, fiually undertook to enforce, results
were produced which Mr. Webster, as Secretary
ot State, in 1862. thus succinctly stated: "The
loss of the valuable full fishinc to American
fishermen; a complete interruption of the exten
sive fishing business of New England, attended
by coustant collisions of the most unpleasant
and exciting character," entailing ''the involve
ment ot the Government in questions of a very
serious nature, threatening the peace of tho two
countries." Tho report ot Mr. Lorenzo Sabine,
pn sruted to Comrross In 153, circumstantially
exhibits the detai.s of the difficulties which Mr.
Webster had anticipated. Referring to the sea
son (if 152, and the effect ot the restriction en
forced by British ves-els-ot-war, Mr. Sabine
wrote: The results to our countrymen were dis
astrous to a degree never before kuown In time
of peace. The presence ot her Majesty's crullers
in the waters in dispute between the two Govern
ments nearly ruined some and inlured all who
aaventureu thither, and was the occasion of
oesponaency ana Buttering at many Hresides in
Massachusetts and elsewhere in New England."
A remark with which Mr. Sabine accompanies
this recital of facts possesses particular signifi
cance at this moment. "There can be' no change
lor the better," are his words, "whuo the con-
troverey as to the intent and meaning of the
uonvennoa ot ibis snaa continue."
The controversy was. however, superseded.
and its attendant peril turned aside, by the Re
ciprocity Treaty, under the operation of whlcn
our fishermen have for ten years plied their
vocation, peacefully and profitably, in Provin
cial waters.
The abrogation of the treaty, and the refusal
ot Congress to sanction a ne arrangement
with the Provinces, bring back the controversy
which, as Mr. Sabine has shown, was disastrous
to New England interest, and lay the founda
tion ot lresh issues, involving what Mr. Webster
described as "questions of a very serious nature,
threatening tho peace of the two countries."
Mr. Derby, in his report to Mr. Secretary Mc-
Culloch, affirms that "we must either risk
our mackeral fishery, treat, or annex the
Provinces." With reciprocity, we have lost
our mackeral fishery, and there will bo hard
ship and suffering in the coming season
among a class never addicted to over-much
patience, and not likely now to submit quietly
to the authority ol British vessels-of-war. Are
the wise men ot Congress prepared for the emer
gency ! Are they willing to entail disaster upon
the fishermen and danger upon the country to
satisfy the demands of the coal and iron mono
polists of Pennsylvania? Or will they "treat''
lor a new commercial arrangement, which shall
at once beueht the revenue, prevent injury to
our trade, secure to our fishermen a continuance
of valuable privileges, and dissipate the speck of
war now rising out ot northern waters r
There is yet time for negotiation, pending the
completion of which all necessary points may be
jtiowueu jor vy if mporary legislation.
Meanwnue we nave a right to ase that our
British cousins shall abstain from' pushing pre
tensions in the justice of which this country
has never acquiesced. We believe that the
more intelligent section of Congress is ready to
enter upon the whole question, with the view ot
reaching results that shall be mutually advan
tageous. The leeling in the '.treasury 1'epart
ment is known to be in favor of this course, and
it will assuredly gain ground whenever the
varied bearings ot the question shall be dis
cussed. It is essential, however, that there.be
nothing like menace on the other side. We are
for negotiation and legislation on a liberal,
friendly basis, the feasibility of which depends
upon the avoidance of all causes of inrtrrtion
and all ground ot quarrel.
President Johnson's Appeal to the People.
From the Herald.
The issue between the Present and his oppo
nents is now broadly and clearly defined. There
can be no mistaking it, no evading it, no ex
plaining it away. In his first veto message,
and in his grand speech on the 22d of Febru
ary, President Johnson boldly drew the line be
tween himself and the radicals; but they have
since been endeavoring to obliterate these
utterances from the minds of the people. For
this purpose Thad. Stevens insulted the House
and gave the world the lowest possible esti
mate of the Intelligence of his constituents by
declaring that the President's speech was only
a hoax. For this purpose Senator Sherman
went down to Connecticut and tried to delude
the voters by arguing that the differences be
tween the President and Congress were imma
terial. For this purpose the editors of the radi
cal journals have tilled their columns, day after
day, with bogus reports as to what the President
had said to. this radical Senator or to the other
radical delegate. For this purpose the violent
abuse of the President by the Radicals baa been
temporarily abandoned, and some of tueui have
even schooled themselves to speak of him re
spectfully. And for this purpose Horace May
nard, one of the excluded Congressmen from the
President's own State, has been sent around the
countiy to tell the people that the Union is
restored, and that all the rights of the South are
restored also. This second veto message dispels
the illusions which these politicians have been
endeavoring to create. It reminds us that
eleven States are still out ol the Union. It
point us to the danger of a mongrel republio.
It is the President's appeal to the people against
the politicians, and by the people he will be
sustained.
The first veto message of President Johnson
convinced the leading men of Europe that be is
a great btatesman. ilis speech ou the 22J of
rebruary has been universally accepted as a
masterpiece which no mince born to the purple
could possibly have equalled. This second vcti
message will add to his popularity here, and will
increufo the respect entertained for him abroad.
Its clear, calm, conclusive analysis ot tho Civil
Kiiihls bill, its scathing exposure of tho faul's
aud delects of the measure, and its ploquent
siiifpmcnt of the policy which the President has
deliberately adopted, and to which heiJintends
to adhere, are such as would make the reputa
tion ol any other official; but they can only
strengthen the reputation of President John
son. Some Congressmen who profess to be
his friends bad vot'-d tor this bill; some of
his supporters, who had not examined tne sub
ject with sullicient attention, presumed and
predicted that ho would give the' bill
his signature; but, with a keener insight and
a m re iutallible sagacity, Mr. Johnson at once
detected the danger of 'tlns special legislation
and the evils with which this niiasure was
fraught. With the indomltnhle pluck which
Ameiicans so much admire, and which we have
seen incarnated in a Jackson, a Grnt, a Sher
man, and a Sheridan, the President substituted
a veto for his signature and sent the bill back
to the Senate, where it originated. What the
Senators may do with it is of no consequence.
Two or three ol them may bo ill and tno veto
maybe disregarded, or by a very close vote it
may be Indorsed. In cither case the positiou of
the President will not bo atlected. He looks
beyond Congress; he appeals to the people, and
by the people he will bo almost unanimously
sustained.
The veto messnge shows Irrefutably that the
radicals de'ign to make this a mongrel Govern
ment. It has unmasked them; they can no
lonuer maintain their hypocritical pretense of
philanthropy. They hope and expect to confer
the right ot suffrage upon the negroes; to elect
negro members ot Congress from tho Southern
States; to make negroes eligible for the highest
ollices in the land. The political equality of the
blacks thus conceded, how can their social
equality be denied They must be permitted to
propose marriage to our daughters; to sit
at table with white persons; to mingle
familiarly in tho best society. For the
sake ol thiee million of negroes forty millions
of white people have already been Involved in
civil war; half of a great nation has been
crippled and desolated; a heavy debt has been
placed upon the shoulders of our citizens;
blood has been poured out like water; pre
cious lives have been ruthlessly sacrificed: but
all this is not enough. Now, for the sake of
three millions of negroes, tho white peoole ot
this couutry are asked to submit to the abroga
tion of the Constitution; to the exclusion of
eleven Suites irom the Union; to the Biipcr
sedure of the State judiciary; to the petty
tyranny of irresponsible spies, paid to prefer
complaints, whether justly or unjustly. More
than this: we are asked tp give the semi
civilized negro a preference over the intelligent
immigrant who lands upon our shores; to
punish a parent who iefuses to allow a negro
to marry his child; to cast into prison any judge
who decides the oicta of Congress unconstitu
tional; to submit to a social association per
iectly revolting to all sensible persons, and to
a national luturc like that ot Mexico or of the
mongrel soutd American republics. This is
what the radicals demand, and all ibis they
liavp embodied in the Ciyil Rights bill, which
ought to be called a bill 10 deprive white men of
all riehis. The President has placed this mea
sure in its true light before the country. In
doing so he has again broken all party trammels,
aud exhibited a patriotism that can rise superior
to all partisan plea of expediency. An entire
recoi struction of th politics of the United
States will be the result. All who are in lavor
ol assassinating the republic in oider to make
the negro equal to the whites will take sides
with Congress. All who are in favor of the
Union, governed by white men for the benefit of
the people, will taie sides with the President.
The issue is made; the President appeals directly
to his lellow-citizeus, and, one alter another
beginning with Connecticut next Monday the
States will wheel into line in his support.
Cotton. Seizures and the Treasury Agent
feystein.
From, the World.
Under the act of Congress authorizing seizures
of "abandoned and captured" property, the
United States Treasury agents have, during
and since the war, been seizing large quantities
of all kinds of property, but especially of cot
ton. Northern men, aud other parties not living
at the 8outh, own or are interested in much of
this cotton. It becomes a matter of general
interest to know on what legal looting these
seizures by Treasury agents ret.
There were grave doubts at the time of tho
passage of the act, on the part of many per
sons of some respectability, both as to its
legality and its expediency. The act seemed to
most men to be limited in its action to the
period ot actual hostilities. But hostilities
have long since ceased. Not, however, cotton
seizures. - A kind of kleptomania has come
over the Treasury olicials. Wo do not attri
bute to them moral guilt greater than that of
many other men. But their moral and legal
senses nave rjecome i wis ted. xuey are in an
abnormal condition. There are some points
they can give up, but their cotton stealing they
must nave.
One of these cotton cases has been recently
submitted to. Mr. Charles O'Conor, with a re
quest tor his opiniou on the legality of the
seizure. Aud Mr. O'Conor has given an opinion
to the effect that the seizure was wholly unwar
rantable, and that there is no authority in law
lor the disposition intended to be made of the
property. Mr. O'Conor's opinion shows the
same clearness and lorce which always dis
tinguish the productions ot that gentleman.
acknowledged on all bands to befactle princeps
of tne JNew i oik Dar. sir, janies r. isrady has
signified, over his name, his agreement with Mr.
O'Conor's conclusions and arguments; and
Judge Pierrepont and Mr. William M. Evarts,
lawyers of acknowledged ability, widely differ-
lng from Mr. O'Conor in political views, agree
with him in his argument and its conclusions.
The statute provides that it shall be lawful for
the agents appointed by the Treasury for the
purpose "to receive and collect all abandoned
or captured property."
The term "captured property" already had its
meaning, and received no new one.
The term "abandoned property" was a new
term, and the thing covered by it was a new
thing. And Congress provided" that property
should be regarded as "abandoned" when the
lawful owner thereof should be "voluntarily
absent therefrom, and engaged, either in arms
or otherwise, in aiding or encouraging the Re
bellion."
These Treasury agent acts provided that the
firoperty referred to might be received or col
ected bv the agents, and "appropriated to public
use on due appraisement, or lorwarded" to a
place ot sale. The sales were to De at public
auction, and the proceeds paid into the United
States Treasury. Alter all expenses of seizure
and subscuueut charges are paid from those pro
ceeds, the balance may possibly, at some distant
time, reach the bands ot the lawful owner.
The laws passed by Congress on the subject of
these seizures were, in their nature, temporary,
and operative onlv until the suppression of the
Rebellion. As has been already stated, the
statute provides that property shall bo regarded
as "abandoned" when the lawful owner thereof
shall be voluntarily absent therefrom, and en
gaged, either in arms or otherwise, in aiding or
encouraging the Rebellion. It will puzzle most
men to understand how the owner oi .property
can be engaged in aiding or encouraging the
Rebellion after it is atf an end. Though the
statute itself mentions no point oi time when
these seizures are to ceaso.ltls plain they are not
to last forever. Aud no other limitation can be
possible than that already slated the end ot tho
war, of actual hostilities.
These cases cannot be deemed cases of "cap
tured" property, for captures can be made only
during actual war by the naval and military
forces of the United States, not by Treasury
agents in time ol peace.
Moreover, one of the acts provides for apple
cations to the Court of Claims for roliet against
wrongs done bv these seizures. But these appli
cations are to be presented only within two
years "alter the suppression of the Rebellion."
Plainly no acts to be relieved against are to be
commuted alter that suppression.
Through the entire ennrs of his nraument
Mr. O'Coi.or unses his opinion on the cjiistruo-
t'on of the statute. It he were sitting on the
bench be would iiroliably dec do that tn sta
tute ilfcll had no validity. And nio.it good law
yers would oiobubiy agree with hnn.
Allot theFe statutes, we presume, were, by
he Coneresnnen of the per ort. saddled on thn
buck ol that r.oor scapegoat. "War Powers."
The Idea 6eeni3 to enve been that, once granting
umtiiiP nic in arms auatnst hip ovprniiient
v ere ulien enpn les. vou also deprived them of
all right to held their own property. But oh all
sound principles oi the laws ot" war, as laid
dew n by the best authorities, tbe property of
citizens end of alien enemies, as far as "war
powers" are concerned, stands in precisely the
same position, equally good and equally bad.
Property on land can bo scizpd and used in
any manner, vhen it is uecessnry for actual war
operations of armies or naval "forces, and not
otherwise; and this, w nether belonging to friend
or foe. And the law Is the same for both cases.
Piooertv on land of alien enemies is protected
in the same manner and to the name extent as
that of citizens. No case coming under "War
Powers'' can f xlst alter the war Is ended.
The reasonings in support of all these
Treasury agent proceedings would not commnud
an instant's ron-ideralion were it not that they
are urged bv men in high places. Mr. O'Conor,
in his opinion, has cnrerully confined himself to
a course of reasoning which he might safely
use beloie men filled with tlie prejudices of
labid Republicanism. Even Charles Sumner, if
ho were a judge, would be compelled to heed
them. Mr. O'Conor gives an opitiim which he
thinks enn be successfully maintained before
present .judges. Were be a judge himself, he
would probably decline to near counsel on either
side.
