"Hard to say what they are doing or what

"*In regard to this question I will say that

the sponge. The light lasted nineteen minutes.

A Crooked Postmaster.
WASIrrrNSTON, Aug. 21.-Charges have been
filed with the Postmaster General, that Post
master Eddy, of Toledo, Ohio, while being
allowed $5500 per annum for clerks here in
his office, so arranged the clerks' salaries that
he is really paying for such service a less
amount by some $800 or $900, and has placed
upon the rlls a person whom he pays at the
rate of $800 per annum, out of the postal
fund, and who, it is alleged, does no work ex
cept on money order business, for which he
is entitled to pay from commissions of the
postmaster. An investigation has been

THE FEVER ON THE TECIHE.
From a person who arrived yesterday from
the Techo country we learn that the fever has
broken out at New Iberia. where there were
three cases. At another point three miles out
of St. Martin one case had occurred. The con
sequone. has been a great scare in 8'. Martins
ville and the establishment of a twelve days'
unarantine. The quarantine station, which is
two miles out of town, consists of a shed with
out any walls, where travelers are required to
remain during the entire twelve days before
they can enter the town. In the meantime they
must provide themselv'es the best way they canr
with food. Of course very few people c-in afford
to remain, and must withdraw in the direction
whence they came, for armed men defend the
avenu a to St. Martinsville, which is entirely
isolated from the world.
QUININE
has given out at some of the drug stores, and
there is little or no prospect of their being
enabled *o replenish their stock even through
the mails, against which au embirgo exists.
iTnder the circumstances people who do not
believe in the efflcaciousness of quarantine
to keep out the fever prefer removing to locali
ties where they can obtain the necessary medi
cines in case they are stricken down by disease.
St. Martinsville was sorely tried during the
epidemic of 5867. and to this fact is ascribed the
severity of their present quarantine.

[Courier-Journal.l
An old sailor yesterday suggested to a re
porter of the Courier-Journal a preventive of
yellow fever, which, he said, at one time
proved infallible during an epidemic of tlhe
most virulent and fatal kind. Three vessels,
representing three nations, some years ago,
were sailing around the coast of Africa. Upon
two of the vessels the crews were nearly ex
terminated. On the other, which was a French
ship, there was not a case of sickness. Upon
inquiry, the officers of the plague-stricken
vessels ascertained that the commander of
the French vessel administered to his men
every morning before breakfast, a drink of
whisky or brandy containing a half teaspoon
ful of white mustard seed. This was the only
medicine used, and the crew was healthy.

BORDER TROUBLESI .
A Vinoroue Poiney 'rip le Praeued.
WASIIJrNorol , Aug. 21. --The National I .,
piirblieranof to-morrow will contain the folkoyw
ing : The enunciation is nositive anid authorita
tive that the administration has settled uIon
the following policy, as regards the Rioa
Grande t rder difliculties with Mexico:
First---'lhe raid.er's are to be pursued with
increased vigor when they retrieat to Mexican
soil after having committed.l depredationa
against A merican citiztsi on the north hank
of the river and punished if caught. Each
sulcessive pursuit is to be more vigorous and
aggressive, and the numrboer of troops engaged
ill these pursuing sorties will be irncreased
from time to time.
Second--The commanding officer of the
pursuing columns will not seek a conflict
;ith Mexlcarn regular troops, but will not
avoid one If such forces interfere to prevent,
tho object of his sorties, ie will then, in tih
ev(orit tf such opoOsitinli, arvercome i1 possi
ble, and after itrvvirgkxiiHausted all reasona
able measures to ac:cormplish the capture and
punishment of the marauders, return to the
American hank of the river without delay.
Third--Under no circumstances will the
pursuing forces he permr itted .to exceed these
instructions, and while on Mexican soil the."
will strictly confine themselves to the single
oject of their expedition. The utmost care
will be taken to give no offense or cause for
complaint to the Mexicen authorities or peo
ple, except that which may follow from the
faithful and circumspect execution of their
duties.
Fourth----No offense is hereby intended to
the Mexican government, the design of the
United States being simply and plainly to
punish the bands of depredators upon the
rights of property and the lives of its citi
Fifth--Nothing that may occur on the
south bank of the IRio Grande, as the result
of the execution of this policy, will be accept
ed by the administration as an immediate
cause of war between the two countries, but
if the Mexican regular troops shall cross the
river in retaliation for th.se measures, a.
co.vsus belli will be construed therefrom, and
the subsequent measure will be governed ac
cordingly.
Sixti--When Congress reassembles in De
cember next the complete history of the
raids by these maraude.rs upon American soil
since 1868, the date of the last settlement re
tween the two governmnents, will be laid before
that body for its action.
While these points are by no means a literal
transcript of the orders recently sent to Gen.
Ord, the cornrmander of the United States
forces on the border, they embrace their
spirit and effect. The P'resididnt's annual
message will include an epit-,me of the his
tory referred to, and the report of the Secre
tary of War will embrace the details thereof.
It is believed that this policy is vigorous
enough to meet the demand, and the approval
of citizens of Texas. who are the immediate
sufferers from this diffliulty, and at the
same time will relieve the administration of
the responsibility of incurring belligerent re
sults, until Congress shall have had time to
deliberate upon this matter, and take the re
sponsibility of future proceedings. But it is
believed that these vigorous measures will
have the effe-ot to abate all cause of com
plaint in the future.
Congressman Foster's epitaph is thus writ
ten by the Courier-Journal: 'Let him pass
out. His race is run. His comb is cut. His
goose is cooked. He will never cavort in
Congress again. When he is beaten, as he
will be, for Governor of Ohio, that will be the
end of him. We shall then no longer hear of
'Charley' Foster."
