SHE - QA ETCH DISEASE.
--- -
A statement of the facts concerning the
Texas cattle disease, has been made by J.
R. Dodge, Statistician of the Dejaartment of
Agriculture, as the result of an extended
investigation. He makes the following
points: •
First—That the disease is communica
ted
~by cattle from Texas; Florida and other
pdrtions of the Gulf Coast.
Second—That such disease is itself un
known in Texas or on the Gulf Coast. ~
• .TAird—That theettle communicating it
are not only.appartly healthy but gener
ally improving in condition.
Fourth,•That while local herds receiving
the infection nearly all' die, they never
communicate to others.
Fifth, That either a considerable increase
in' elevation or, ti distance of two or three
degrees of latitude• from the starting I oint
is necessary to develope the disease into
'activity; and virulency, and a ftirther pro
gress of two degrees of latitude and a few
weeks in time as sufficient to, eliminaterthe
poison from the system. •••
Sixth—That Texas cattle removed to other
Miasmatic sections as the 'Mississippi bot
tom, up the sixteenth parallel, communi
cate no infection to local herds.
Seventh—Medication has thus far been of
no avail. It concludes that the disease
cannot become general and that it can exist
only with the movements of the Texas
cattle, which should be regulated or sup
pressed, and that it does not result from
travel but frem climatic causes.
COLORED MILITARY ASSAULTED.
Vast night while a colored military or
ganization from Georgetown was passing

walk were injure°, one very seriously. The
affair is undergoing investigation.
The party shot last night by the firing
from the ranks of the Colored Zonal/es was
a- negro named James White, who was
standing on the sidewalk, and received the
ball in his leg: After the firing commenced
a large crowd gathered, and indications of
a serious riot were apparent, but was
checked by the prompt action of the police
and others. The wounded- man was car

_ .
Telearsph to tiie•Pittetrinch Gazette.'
BuovicsrrowN, Um., August 13.—The Cir
cuit Court of Jackson county, lion. N. A.
Brickerell presiding, had before it to-day
the case: f the robbers of the Adams Et;
press Company, Mike. Colleran and Wall
Hammond, charged with robbing the Com
pany by jumping on the 'express car and
overpowering. the messenger, on the night
of September Bth. 1867, near Seymour.
Both prisoners were defended by . the noto
rious Jason . Brown, the celebrated thieves'
lawyer, of Jackson county, whose boast is,
that no thief whom he defended has ever
been-convicted. Collerani however, in op
position to the advice of his counsel. en
tered a plea of guilty, and was sentenced
by the Court to - Elie years in the penitentiary
and a fine of $5OO. Rommands, under the
advice of his counsel, applied for a cOntin
nance, of which, under statutes of Indians,
the Court had no power to overrule, and it
was accordingly granted. Jason Brown
hat; gained an unenviable reputation as a
-defender of the Renos, and the very worst
class of murderers, assassins and thieves.
The Vigilance Committee had given up all
further attention to criminal cases, relying
upon the Courts as being , ahle to enforce
order. This now, however upsets all, as
Colleranwakwilling to ta kel - the witness
'stand and testify.in regard to Hammond's
complicity with him in the robbing
the
re
ferred to. It now appears as though
Vigilance COminittee would have to again
take affairs into their own hands. and mete

LONDON, August .14.—The Times• con
cludes a long:article on. Thaddeus Stevens,
by saying, "The death of Thaddeus is not
now a public . loss.' His impeachment
policy was of incaldulable iniury to his
policies' party, and the financial dishon
esty which he encouraged dles with him.
He was a fanatical,l bitter and self-willed ,
manrbut not mean pr deceitful. He is the
last of leading Americans who had the.,
courage to rise above political Partisanship.
The Morning Telpgraph says Mr. Stevens
was neither good. wise nor generous, bat
in his time be did tilgrial services. and with ,
all his faults he merits the famous phrase:
"That was a man."

CoLumniA, August 14.—The veto of Goy.
Scott to certain radical treasures of legis
lation, has created intense feeling among
Ake extreme members, and a break between
the radical and moderate Repubbains.
Intelligence received here indicates the
arming of the negroes in different portions
,of the. State and that:threats' of violence
are made. The leaders publicly say they
have a Captain on--every plantation, and
the whites anticipate serious trouble. The
Governor has failed to make a loan of
1,125,000; and the members of the Legisla
ture are grumbling because the people talk
of refusing to pay taxes.
[NOTE.—TiIe "moderate Republicans"
must mean Democrats. The dispatch reads
very much as if intended for political effect
in the North.—ED.]

A large and enthusiastic meeting of the

E. J. POWELL%
The President then -introduced R. .T.
'Powers Esq., who said: The Democratic
party:called upon•the people to castoff their
Party and teat shouldte for Seymeur and
Blair. Why the Icontrol of tho .
Gtivernmead be taken from the hands of the
party . which him administered it for the
past eight years, and placed in the' hands
of traitors? When he said traitors be did not
wish to offend any one, as he - knew the
great masses of the people. were right if,
ask
th were not misled. The Democrats
asked that the reins of.. government be
placed in their hands once more. They
had controlled the government fora term
Of thirty years, and what was the result?
At the end of that time the Constitution'
was violated and the flag insulted. and it
had not the courage to resent the insult.
When the "Star of tne West" was fired upon,
and James Buchanan was urged Co punish
the traitors, he replied, that them was no'
pcwer in the govern,ment to Prevent seces
sion. Why was there no power?. Because
it was a Democratic retiellioa. -,When Abra
ham Lincoln was - inaugurated the country
was involved in a civil war„ an unholy re
bellion, to crush' Which , two things
were_ necessary. Men' and money were
both requisite 'to carry' , on- this war
and,crush: out this Democratic re
bellin.- What was the result? Abra
ham Lincoln called out seventy-five
thousand men, which were found insuffici
ent. A call for three hundred thousand was
made, and, good heavens, what a cry arose
from their Democratic throats. • Thew said _
the War was unconstitutional) ' that it was
an unholy war, and when our armies were
defeated they chuckled over the defeat. In
'63 when the draft was ordered, they again
set up the cry that it was unconstitutional.
In fact eierytbitig that watt done - to whip
.their rebel bretheren was tinconstlititional.
The speaker then took upthe financial
.question, which hei handled in a very able
manner. He took thegrounds-that--thsa---
Pendleton-4. or ' Lae rabbis and.
Democrats, meant repudiation, and adduced
arguments to prove hie position. held
that the 'obligation of the '.Government to
its creditors_ was even greater . than the ob
ligations of individuals toward _each:Other.
He illtudiated: the subject clearly.and katis
factoribito thii entire audience, andhialre
marks were listened to with marked -atten- .
tion, notwithstanding be spoke over an
hour and a half.
The speaker closed hisiirgument with a
beautiful-peroratiOn, in which he appealed
to the pride and patriotism of his 'hearers.
in a most eloquent manner, urging upon
thenithe necessity of protecting this Gov
ernment from the hands of those who
would'destroy it. •

entertained the meeting with "The Miller
and His Three Sons," after which the audi
ence dispersed. •
