1 lie inierferciiei) of the Adminislrotion
in behalf uf the usurping Stale Govern
ments in Alabama and Louisiana is a verv
poor beginning towird the rufurm plodged
to the country l?y the Philadelphia Con
vention. It is indued, n pour oui'ury fur
Orant 6 second term. AJI along as.-uran
ce? have been held nut to the American
people by those who ought to know, that
iu his next term the President would turn
over a new leaf and do better than lie had
during his fir?i term Hut from pruseiii
movement* ou hit part we have but little
hope of seeing any better condition of af
fairs than now exist. Wiji a Congress
and a President full of hale, prcjudico and j
ill-will toward the people of the South, we
do not see how the oppressed people of the
South can look for any better treatment
froui the hands of such men than they have
all along, ami are now receiving. What
ever lies in the power of this corrupt and
usurpiug Administration to degrade the
Southern people, will be used without re
serve. As an illustration the Congress
with its accustomed mealiness, refused lo
pay William and Mary Collegeof Virginia
$(if>,000, for damage done the institution
during the war, wantonly and without
military authority or necessity, unless the
stockholders should throw open the Col
lege to negroes. What was this done for?
To degrade the people of Virginia. Had
Ibis claim been from a Northern
State, no sueh demand would have beeu
made of tlieiu. Oh, consistency.
The same thing that has tocn done iu
Alabama and Louisiana, is urge.) by lite
Kadical press to be attempted iu West
A irginia. The whole Radical pr?ss of;
this Stale arc urging the present officers |
of the State to resist the officers elected in
August last from taking their offices at the
time prescribed by law. And, we sup-j
pose, that if this advice is heedcj by the
present otScers, the Grant dyuajty will'
recogniie the usurpers, as lie did those of
Alabama aud Louisiana, auJ till our Stale

A delegation composed of Senators and
Representatives from the States of Virgin
ia aud West Virginia called upon the Pres
ident on the 13th iiist., to thank him for
thorccimmendition iu his message in re
lation to the James ltiver aud Kanawha
ltiver canal, aud to express the hope that
be would further 'lie measure as much as
possible. The Presideut replied as fol
lows:
"I appreciate ih; great impjitanne of
this worl; to the commercial interests of the
nation, and am glad the subject has been
brought bafnrc Congress. 1 hope Con
gress will give sufficient encouragement to
insure its completion. The enormous pro
ductions of the Western aud Southern
States interested in this route demand an
outlet to tide-water and the Atlantic coast,
and these interests are so important that
they must ultimately compel the completion
of this work iu some manner."
The friends of the Virginia water-line
communication with the Ohio ltiver arc
jubilant over the response of the President
to the address presented by the delegations
from Virginia aud West Virginia on this
subject.

between Americans, who expect hereafter
to be friends is little hotter than an idiot

The year which is now drawing to a
close has witnessed the disappearance by

of business enterprise and venture, and
Ivjtsin Forrest, tlio great representative of
the drama. In politicly and official life, is
Win II. Seward. In their several de

people. We h id beeu so long accustomed

"Within that period of 98 years the

his military career, Byron came into the

Some of the people of New Mexico think
her admission into the Uniou as a State is
desirable. If that event should transpire
before a change lias come over the social
condition, it will bring about a strange
s:ate of things. It is said that three
fourths of i lie property in the Territory is
iu the hands ol'tcu or fifteen families, each
of which hus from one to five thousand de
pendents, therefore controlling as many
voles. These few families have immense
flocks and herds, while their retainers aud
the common people me generally wretched
poor. The State ollicers aud the two Uuit

The French situation presents uo new
feature of special interest ihe delibera

toward mutual concession, and a desire to
avoid politicial outbreaks, which augurs
well lor the preservation of peace ami the
perpetuation of a republican loroi of g iv
eruincnt. We still think that all reports
from France predicting outbreak and blood
shed are quite too sensational. The avor

days manufactured out of a slender wool
of fact with a heavy warp of iuvcution.

do not, at present, propose to go into

attention ol'(ii|r professional brethren

Willi I he hope that some good mav

I ( A ad just here we take occasion lo
| call attention to,and eoinmeud to hotli
Houses of the Legislature now iu
'session iu this Slate, a Kill introduced
^ in that liody by one of our Delegates
from this county, Capt, Jons M. Kkv
xiii.ds, referring to the J 'oinmittec on
j Arts and Sciences, an investigation of
| the subject mailer ol this couimtinicn
tion, and trust we may lie pardone I
lor the suggestion; that the members
ol liotli Houses ol the Legislature
would serve the interest of their eon
si it tieuls liet I <*r in devising some means
lor the relic! ol the poor Buffering
horses over our country, than to lie
wasting their time and our moiiev,
discussing the "Innjinrnri/ rcuvicul nf
llw (*i 1,/nl'tl, In II liicliiif/." j
There is, perhaps, no subject which
has heen so entirely and grosslv mwr
lected by scientilic men, as that ol'j
I he diseases ol the lower animals, par j
ticiilarly that of the Ilorsekiud. There |
is not, we believe, throughout the i
length and breadth of our voiiligl
tlirilty Slate, an educated, scientilic i
Veterinary Surgeon, audjlie poorsuf
leriny horses here, as well as clse-i
where, are too frequently left to tliei
mercy ol ignorant pretenders or, we
may say, imbecile Hmpirics.
I'd treat the diseases of the lower
animals, as well as the diseases of
mankind, successfully, it is csscntiallv
niye.-jsary to understand, or at least to
have some general idea ol the patliol-:
ogy of the disease.
In the epizootic now raging among
horses, the true pathological condition
has not ye.t been fully and satisfacto
rily established, and it is to this end,
that we respectfully invoke the aid
ami co operation of the medical pro
fession. Surely, this cannot lie a I
calling beneath the dignity of our j
high and coble profe.smm! The Intel
and present sulfermgs^id mal treat-1
meat to which these noble animals
have been subjected, appeals loudly
i and earnestly to our best senses, and
should call into requisition an nssein
binge of our linest and best intellect
ual faculties, which should be exer
ciscd to the best ends for t he relief of
those iluuib creatures.
In an able and well written aiticlei
iu the Ihiiuli Medical Jmirnal, the ed j
itorsnys: ?!
vl'lie very severe epidemic among'
j horses which is reported from Aiueri-1
ca and Canada is of a kind well known
here. It is, in fact, an epidemic iiillu ?
enza. rhis epizootic is a catarrhal af
lection resembling, in all its symptoms1
land its course, the epidemic influenzal
of poor humanity. It runs a definite |
course; it is accompanied by severe
nasal catarrh, general fever and 'debil
ity: iu severe cases the Lungs and :
Pleura' are apt to be alFeeted. It re
quires the same kind of nursing in
animals as iu men. Rest within doors,
alight, nourishing diet, mild febrifuge
niedicine.il' any, and attention to the
local troubles of the throat and air
passages. A very small proportion of
the cases are fatal, but the epidemic is
apt to prove very troublesome in Ku
l ropean experience, by its wide-spread
1 and debilitating character."
Iu New York, Philadelphia, and
lloston, a number of examinations
I have been made upon the bodies of
horses which died with this epidemic
I disease, and Dr. Joirs W vein-,has pub-!
lished the result of his observation
and experience with the disease, and
declares it to be a 'vywi'/fV nnts^n <>f
the I/IoikI," mid that in the post mortem
examinations which lie made, he found
| the legs, body and head swolen and
the internal organs and the muscles1
of the chest and legs in a stale ol
putrillcatioii. Following thi--, the San
itary Committee of the Hoard of
Health of Xew York, publish that the
disease resembles a/ury in the human
subject, "the blood is so dctcrioutcd
that it escapes from the vessels into
the cellular tissues ufider the skin, so
as to cause large ccchymosis, giving
rise to bloody discharges. The r4-d
1 globules are in a statc'ol disentegra
tion and the serum escaping from I lie
? vessels, collects under the skin iu the
most dependent portions of the hodv.
causing the appearance known as;
dropsy."
Froth our own observations, expo-1
(1 lence and tieatineut ol this hpizootic'
among Horses, We are of the opinion,!
clearly, that it is to the Horse, nothing
more or less than the fipihmic /ii/h'

in this country is ti luiinkind, and
calls for a similar treatment, and this

II real caution should now be observed
by tlio.<c who have the handling and man
agemunl of horses, in order to deled the
first symptoms of I|a' disease, whidi arc
generally a chill, or at i.- i.-t a slight sluv
eriug, general lao(|Uor, doll expression of
the eyes, suffusiotl of tears, frequently, in
flammation nf the conjunctival coat. In
moil places the pulse ii weak but acceler
ated, i|i? nasal membrane reddened and
inflamed, the belly contracted, loss of ap
petite anil a general iudi>pos|ion to stir
about These are the first general symp
tom* observed among the hors.-s which we
have pcun alTectel with I ho cpiziotie in
question, where they have .received ordin
ury grooming and tbe disease is uncompli
cated. ,
After two or three days the eyes and
nose begin to discharge a thin mailer, and
at; the disease advance* the cough sets in.
arid in severe attacks there is a heavy, thick,
purulent discharge, both from nostrils, and
eyes, and the throat, eyes and limbs swell.
In the early stages the bowels arc inclined
to Tie loose, but as the disease advances aud
ihe fever subsides, they are disposed to con
stipation The disease generally runs its
course in about three weeks, and from
what wc have seen and know of it, we
should as soon expect to cut short u genuine
Typhoid Fever, or the whooping cough in
the human subject, as we would an attack
of this Epizootic inllueiiM in Horses.?
Then, since thiscauiiot be done, the great
principle which should guide us in the
treatment of the disease should be, in ev
ery possible manner, to bu-band the
strength of the poor horse, so as to enable
him .to keep up and run successfully
through the course of the disease.
It might be well here to remark that in
nearly ail of the cases of this disease which
we have seen and proscribed for, there has
been a strong disposition to a Jyli'iidU'w
dcucy. hence it will be observed thai tire
disease has been most fatal where active
depletory remedies, such in bleeding ac
tive purgation, Ac , h ive becu resorted to,
and least fatal where but little or no active
remedies have been used at all. Where
horses have been properly cared for, fed,
rubbed, and Well stabled, but very little
needs to be doit.) The general indications
are: keep them from exposure in the eld
ami wet?from the gears or the saddle
?keep them in clean, dry and well ventil
ated stables, rub them w -11 and keep them
blanketed and their bowels properly regu
bated, which can generally be done by the
diet you give them which should be, until
the fever entirely passes off. of a very light
character, such as bran mash, ifcc. When
? he fever shall have subsided, you find the
bowels constipated, small doses of salts
ami magnesia or magnesia and sulphur may
be given, and for the swelling of the throat,
wo have fi'Und nothiug equal to the appli
cation 01 Spts, of Turpentine well rubbed
on two or three times in twenty-four hours.
!u the cotrvalscetice of this disease, a
generous and nutitrious and easily digest
ed diet should be given, such as boiled po
tatoes turnips, carrots, &c., mixed with
bran or oats mash. If the appetite should
not return and there seems a disposition to
scurvy, aud the convalescence slow,
give 15 or 20 grains of Sulphate of
Quinine in mi Mppli' morn, noon, mid
night, until the horse seems roused
up, end if lie is poor an?l feeble, we
would strongly recommcnd the giving
of liitn one drachm of sulphate ol Iron
(copperas) three times a day?dissolve
the copperas in water and mix in with
his mash feed.
lint above all, every attention t"
cleanliness about the stalls ami the
stable should be observed.
The liose of tin* horse should be
sponged frequently, and il the dis
charge is very tree and otlensivo allei
washing and cleansing it, throw up
the nostrils a solution of carbolic acid
and glycerine.

Shake well and syringe the nose
three or four times in 21 hours.
Also saturate a piece of sponge or
sonic old tliinnel cloths with a solution
of carbolic acid, and lay about in the
trough under the horse's nose, as a
disenfcctant.
This solution may be made by putting
two dracluns of crystali/.ed carbolic
acid iu one pint of boiling water;
sprinkle some of this solution about in
the stall, on his bed, (fce.
Where the cough hangs on and con
tunics troublesome iu the advanced
si'i'tesof the disease, wc have seen
good effects from giving the horse
wild cherry bark water, which lie will
readily drink, and the good cll'ects ol
it is increased frequently, by the ad
dition of from an half to one lluid
ounce of the Tincture of Assol'retida,
which, after drinking a while, lliey

.Mr. Editor, should this communica
tion, much more lengthy than we ex
peeled when wc commenced it. serve
to call the attention of the public, or
stir the medical profession to a notice
of this fearful epizootic which is de
stroying so many valuable horses in
our country, or should it excite a de
gree of sympathy, and prompt a kinder
and better treatment, and result in
good to the race of faithful, poor,
dumb creatures in whose behalf we
have become so deeply and earnestly
enlisted, then, indeed, we shall have
been more than doubly repaid for all
the devotion, time and labor which
