TnF. CATTLE EPIDEMIC IN NEW JER
SEY.—The farmers and owers of cattle
in New Jersey have recently been
seriously alamed at the simultaneous
appearance in various parts of the
State of a new disease among their
horses and mules. The disease has,
in the few cases which have up to
the present time occurred, invariably
proved fatal, and although the symp
toms are not in all instances identi
cal, they are sufficiently alike in their
general character to warrant the be
lief that they are the beginning of an
epidemic, which may possibly create
as much loss among the cattle of
this section of the country as the
well known rinderpest has already
caused in Europe. It is admitted by
all that the past year, has been ex
tremely unfavorable to the health of
either man or beast, and there is a
reasonable basis for the fear that the
nuusual physical conditions under
which we have been placed, may
have produced effects which although
they have hitherto remained dormant,
may shortly become only too clearly
apparent. For some time complaints
have been made in nearly every
county in the State of New Jersey,
to the effect that an unusual amount
of sickness was prevailing among
horses ; and, in fact, live stock gen
erally. One of the most dangerous
and fatal diseases which attack
horses—lung fever—has lately been
extremely destructive, while every
other malady with which they are at
any time visited has existed with
more or less intensity. A number of
deaths have, however, occurred in
whicli the precise nature of the dis
ease is unknown ; though many of
the symtems are similar to those
which in human beings characterize
typhoid fever.
IN Tennessee the " Conserva
tives" count on 27,000 majority on
the white vote, aud estimate the
colored vote at 10,000 for Brownlow
and 20,000 for the Conservative can
didate. By tltis reckoning the anti-
Brownlow party claim the election of
their candidate by 7,000 votes. In
order to secure this result, the negro
vote must be controlled very largely
by the late rebel element. It is the
heartiness with which they enter in
to this new work that is peculiarly
wonderful. Men who, 12 months
ago, declared they would die before
they would consent to go to the polls
with the negro, are now zealous in
their efforts to control his vote. They
do not do this out of any change in
their feelings toward the blacks, but
they do it that they may, if possible,
secure the defeat of the Radicals.
How near these estimates are to the
truth, it is of course impossible to
tell, but that the Conservative party
will use every me ns, fair and foul,
to secure success, thero can be no
doubt.
RUSSIAN - AMERICA. —The Senate last
week ratified a treaty between the
United States and Russia, by which
the latter government cedes to the
United States Russian America for
$7,000,000 in gold. Russian Amer
ica is a vast territory situated on the
Pacific slope of this continent and
running up north to the North pole,
so far as any body knows to the con
trary. Its inhabitants are princi
pally Esquimaux, polar bears and
seals ; —its productions icebergs and
possibly furs There is great diver
sity of opinion as to the advantages
of tiiis acquisition—but we are in
clined to the opinion that the weight
of testimony would place its intrinsic
value at a low standard—although
the treaty was ratified by the Sen
ate almost unanimously. We do not
know that any body knows the num
ber of square miles embraced with
in its boundaries.
Uasr The State Tax on personal
property, we see it stated, has been
abolished bj> the Legislature, and in
lieu of it a levy of $300,000 has been
apportioned upon the several counties
of the Commonwealth according to
population. As the State tax on real
estate was abolished last year, there
will be no State tax whatever to pay
in future to the tax-collector, but the
county tax will have to be increased
to meet the quota of each county in
the $300,000 State bonus, which will
come back to the county again in the
shape of appropriations for public
schools. Sufficient revenue to pay
current expenses and interest is ob
tained from banks, railroad compan
ies, and other money-making asso
ciations
According the best Advices '
from the far West, the Blackfect, .
Sioux, Arrapahoee, Cheyennes and
Camanches have all determined upon
war with the whites, and several;
other tribes are also banding togeth-'
er for the great struggle. We do j
not see how the Pacific railroad en-1
terprise is to be successfully conduct
ed so long as the route is liable to j
be struck at any time by hostile sav
ages,who would delight to run trains
off the track and murder passengers.
If it be possible to bring them under
subjection to law, it seems to us the
government cannot too soon be about
it. It may be that Sherman's propo
sition of "extermination" is the only
practicable way of ridding the coun
try of Indian hostility, but whatever
may be required for that consumma
tion should be promptly done. The
whole number of Indians in the
United States is stated at not exceed
ing 400,000.
S&- The resolution which was be
fore our Legislature to commit the
State to the aid of the efforts to ar
rest the murderers of Noah and
Abraham Zook, two citizens of Lan
caster county who were murdered
last October in Mississippi, was de
feated at a late hour of the session
by a Democrat objecting to its con
sideration. Another link in the long
chain of evidence of Democratic sym
pathy with Southern traitors and
murderers.
GEORGIA —A large mass meeting of
freedmen was held at Augusta, Geor
gia, on Saturday. • Governor John
son made a speech, advising the
blacks to be sober and industrious,
and to exercise the right of franchise
judiciously. He believed the good
and intelligent white men South
would do justice to the negroes. He
would do all in his power to improve
the race in the social and political
scale.
NEGOTIATIONS FOR BRITISH AMERICA.—
A rumor is current that negotiations
are in progress for the purchase of
British America,including Vancouver
Island, and that the only difficulty
that appears to stop the final con
summation of the bargain seems to
be that Mr. Seward insists upon turn
ing in the Alabama claims as part
payment of the purchase, to which
Lord Stanley, the English Secretary
of the Colonies demurs.
POSTMASTER.—WILMAM B. SHAW, of
Washington city, has been appointed
and confirmed as Postmpster at this
place.

HOW DR. LIVINGSTONE WAS KILLED.
Official iuformation of the death
of Dr. Livingstone has been received
at the British Foreign Office. He
was slain during a sudden and un
provoked encounter with the very
Zulus, of whom, in the last dispatch
received from him (dated Ngomana,
May 18), he said that they had laid
waste the country round about him.
With an escort reduced to twenty by
desertions, death and dismissals, he
had traversed terra incognita between
the confluence of the Leonde and
Rovuma rivers at Ngoma and the
eastern and northeastern shore of
Lake Nyassa, had crossed the lake
at some point not yet ascertained,
had reached a station named Cam
pnnda, on its western or northwest
ern shore,and was pushing westward
or northwestward into dangerous
ground, when between Marenga and
Maklisoora a band of implacable sav
ages stopped the way, a mixed herd
of Zulus or Mafite and Nyassa folk.
The Nyassa folk were armed with
bow and arrow. The Zulus with the
traditional shield,broad bladed spears,
and axes. With Livingstone, there
were nine or ten musketeers ; bis
Johanna men were resting with their
loads far in the rear. The mante in
stantly came on to fight. There was
no parley, no avoidance of the com
bat. They came on with a rush,with
war cries, rattling their shields with
their spears. As Livingstone and
his party raised their pieces the on
set was for a moment checked. Liv
ingstone fired, and two Zulus were
shot dead. His boys fired, but their
fire was harmless. He was in the
act of reloading, when three Mafites
leaped upon him through the smoke.
There was no resistance ; there could
be none ; one axe cut from behind
put him out of life. He fell, and his
terror-stricken escort *fled. One of
the fugitives escaped, aud he tells
the tale—Ali Moosa, chief of his es
cort of porters.
" One blow killed Dr. Livingstone
outright. He had no other wound
but this terrible gash. From the
description it must have gone thro'
the neck and spine up to the throat
in front. It had nearly decapitated
him. Death came mercifully in its
suddenness. The Mafite had respect
ed him when dead, for he was strip
ped only of his cuter clothing. A
grave was dug with sticks and the
body buried.
THE CONFEDERATE GOLD. —The large
amount of coin and bullion captured
by our forces during the flight of the
rebel troops, near Augusta, Ga., in
1865, and which has occasioned
much discussion and arbitration,
being claimed by several parties;in
Richmond and New Orleans, has
again been the source of investiga
tion. From the records of the Con
federate government and Irom other
sources, the treasure is proved be
yond doubt to have belonged to the
rebel government, and not to Rich
mond or New Orleans banks, as has
been supposed. From entries in the
journal of the rebel treasurer, and
from the identity of fifty or sixty
bars of silver bullion of peculiar
shape, which were recognized as
coming from the New Orleans mint,
and from other evidences, the owner
ship of the captured treasure seemß
now finally established.
