dent of the Supreme Court, Kiepor, an
eminent geographer, and Goldsobmidt,

BOSTON, October 26.-Ia consequence
of the horse disoaso, horse car aooommo
dotions have been almost entirely with?
drawn in Boston and .vicinity. -
NEW YORK, October 26.-The horse
malady has now spread to suoh an ex?
tent that almost all the horses in the
oity are saict to be suffering, in one fono
or another, from symptoms of the epl
demie. There are thousands of. h?re?
which bave not yet been * put upon the
sick list, but observation goes to show
that many of these have, germs of th<
disorder in their system. The disease
has thus far been rather , slow in its de
velopment, and it is notknown yet who
thor all its stages have been seen.. It ii
estimated that in the city and immedi
ate.- -Vicinity there-are from 30,000 tc
40,000. horses suffering' from well-du
velop?d symptoms.. Tho disease hoi
begun to exhibit new and alarming
phases, which are looked on as htghti
dangerous. -The inflammation of tin
throat extends to the lungs, and rapidly
growB more alarming, and the ooughinj
is fearfully convulsive. The anima
pants for breath, becomes quiet am
cold at the extremities. This seems ti
be the warning of a fatal ending of th
malady; and if it continues as wide!
prevalent as it is now, for a few day
longer, there can be little doubt thu
hundreds of the horses affected will die
The street car companies, some of sh
livery stable proprietors, and many c
the down town merchants are still worl
ing their diseased horses; and in a
these oases, the signs of fatality are bc
coming more and more alarming. I
tho stables, where all business is sui
pended until the disease is masterec
very favorable reports are made. I
some instances the convalescence of th
horses is very rapid. The trotters au
racers, stabled in the city, seem to h iv
nearly escaped the disease. America
Girl has already almost recovered froi
her slight attack. At least 600 cars ha\
been withdrawn from the oity railrou
lines. In this branch alone, the diseat
throws 1,000 men out of work. Had
men have almost tripled the fares fe
passengers, ip utter violation of la\
and refuse to oarry those refusing to pi
the illegal rate. . The managers of tl
railroad companies believe that, at tl
present rate, their stock oannot hold oi
longer than Sunday night. No stab
reports as yet that any horse has bei
perfeotly cured.
9 P. M.-The malady is sproadin
and the alarm is increasing. The E
press Company report the recovery
some of their horses. Mr. Bergh sa
gesta as a remedy for the prevailii
horse disease, complete rest, wai
blankets, no exposure to drafts of a
disenfeotants, total absence of bleedin
prostrating cathartics, twenty or thu
drops of tincture of iron in a gill of J
maica rom, diluted with water, giv
every four hours, in order to preset
the strength of the horse; or tincture
arnica will produce rolief; a plasl
bound around tho throat, composed
one portion cayenne pepper and t
of flax seed, mixed with vinegar, is <

luable traces of silver. The expedition
located 35,000 acres for the Texas Land
and Copper Company-a close corpora?

discovery is regarded as most important,
as the Southern Pacific Railroad passes
through this region.

MODERN DUEL IN CHINA-EUBOPEAN
GALLANTRY IN THE EAST.-Hong Kong
has lately been the scene of a duelistio
rencontre-the principals being Leon
Checa, Spanish Consul at Hong Kong,
and Torre Bueno, Peruvian Consul at
Macao. The latter gentleman Bent the
Challenge, choosing a rapier as the wea?
pons to bo used, but the other refused
on the ground that his arm was too weak
for sword play, and requested the pistol
to be substituted.
The preliminaries of shoot and ad?
vance were therefore arranged, and tho
ground selected being measured off, aud
seconds in readiness, Bueno won the
toss for the first shot at twenty-five paces.
At the signal he fired and missed.
Checa then fired at twenty-twe paces,
and likewise missed. Bueno then fired
his seoond shot at nineteen paces, and
also failed to hit, as did also Cheoa at
sixteen paoes. Bneno's third shot at
thirteen paoes was very oloso, almost i
grazing Checa's nose, but it fortunately ;
went clear. Checa then exclaimed, "You
see, gentlemen, that he intends to kill i
mel He is aiming at my head. I would
gladly now fire into the air, but I will <
not trust him at seven paoes." Checa,
being now close, aimed; the ball took
effeot in the shoulder of his opponent,
and Terre Bueno fell. Checa then left i
the ground, and Bueno, though wound- ?
ed, it is thought, will recover.
A strong fooling against this mnnner
of settling disputes has arisen in Hong !
Kong since this rencontre, und it is to
be hoped that this meeting will not form
a precedent for the future.
LIGHTNING ON THE MOUNTAIN TOP.
Gray's Peak is the home of the thunder.
The lightning knows it as the eagle
knows bia nest. Being the highest of
all peaks of the Sierra, it attracts the
olouds, which almost daily gather round
its head and burst upon it, so that some?
times it tries tho m rves of the boldest
to run the gauntlet of these storms. At
snob times the whole mountain seems
charged with electricity. Several who
have been caught there at such a mo?
ment told mo how it ?hot through them
Uko needles; it buzzed about their heads
like bees; they could hear it whistling
like a galo through tho rigging of a ship,
i'he guides, being more accustomed to
such things, aro less terrified; but tour?
ists are sometimes paralyzed with terror,
if not with the shook, and fall to tho
ground unable to move. Even the guides
sometimes think it a matter of prudence
to throw themselves flat upon their faces,
not to present u poiut for the lightning
to strike. The poor brutes, taught by
dumb instinct, turn their heads from tho
storm und lot it beat. If a pu.-ty wero
caught on the summit in a long snow
storm it is probable that they would
perish. In the blinding drifts it would
bo impossible to Bud tho path, and no
mortal strongth could hold out for many
hours. Such accidents do not occur,
because the guides are on the watch;
when they seo a storm coming up, they
bid all run for their lives. They fly with
speed, and come down often trembling
and afraid, as if, like Moses, they had
been np in the mount, into the cloud,
and had seen the awful power of God.
H ELM BOLD AND THE NEWSPAPERS.
Hoi m bold, of bu ohu notoriety, has just
sent out an interesting document to the
press, announcing his bankruptcy. Many
of the leading journals are among the
viotims, but Baltimore escapes. The
amounts due to the New York papers
range from $7,500 down to $1,100, and
Boston and ohief Western jour nala from
$3,000 to $1,250. If ever a little man
succeeded ia fooling the wise men of tho
earth, Helmbold is tho one. lu addition,
there are thousands of dollars owed all
over the country, in sums of 840 and
upward.
If yon want to know whether a treo is

A COSTLY EXPERIMENT.-The Messrs.
Winans, of Baltimore, who many years
ago announced a plan for crossing the
ocean by means of a cigar-shaped steam?
er in an exceedingly short space of time,
have not yet given up their hopes of
accomplishing the end they have in view
by that means. A few days ago, they
applied to the Commissioner of Patents
for an extension of their patent for hulls
of v?asela constructed on tho cigar plan,
au cl evidence was! gi ven in support of
their application that they had oxponded
over $1,000,000 in attempting to demon?
strate the practical utility of their inven?
tion, without receiving a cent in remu?
neration. Having adopted certain im?
provements in their machinery, the in?
ventors believe thoy are now in a
position to make their invention profita?
ble. They are building two cigar ships
in England and one in Russia. The
steamer begun many years ago in Balti?
more is still unfinished.
A Wisconsin man lent a cook a $150
watch to tel! when to commence cooking
dinner, and now he has neither watch
nor cook.
THU "HANDS-OPT" POLICY.-Tho
fruits of the policy of "bauds off," ad?
vocated by mauy Conservative papers of
this State, because tho ciindidateH upon
both tickets for State officers were ob?
jectionable, aro beginning to appear,
tly looking over the retnrns so far re?
ceived, it ?B not only evident that the i
Tomlineon ticket was defeated by those
who did not vote, bnt the policy of cot
voting hos entailed upon ns the defeat of
tnany of our owu candidates. Had the
Conservative people of this Congres?
sional District polled a full vote, Wallace
would not have been re-elected. This
stay-away polioy, BO strennously advo?
cated by the Edgefiold Advertiser, has
ulso defeated Mr. Barnwell, for Solicitor
of that Circuit, and elected J. H. Run
kle, a Radical lawyer of about eighteen
months' standing. The saine polioy in
Newberry has also defeated Homer L.
McGowan, our candidate for Solioitor in
this circuit, and elected W. M. Fleming
-a Radical of the deepest dye.
But, in our opinion, the defeat of the
bolters' ticket carries down with it a
matter of greater importance than the
defeat of any of our candidates for office.
It heals the breach ia the Radical party. )
Had we united and elected tho boitera'
ticket, we should have made a division
in tb-f party that could never have boen
unitov. nguiu. But the apathy of the
white voters has, wo believe, again con?
solidated the Radical vate of tho State
against us; and, mark our prediction,
two years from now, that party will be
more united and stronger than it was be?
fore the late election or is at the present
time.
We can hardly expect any considera?
ble number of influential men of the
Radical party in this State to cut loose
from its ranks again, with tbe hope of
securing the encouragement of the white
voters. They huve tried that once, and
although they did not present to us as
fair a showing us we desired, or thought
ourselves entitled to, it was the best they
dared to oflar, with any hope that any
number of their former political asso?
ciates would follow them. It was an
"entering wedgu" into the Radical ranks,
but we refused to lend our strength to
rive the rotton trunk asunder. We shall
now find that all the leaders of tho bolt?
ers' party will be made to "do penance"
for a year or two. They will then be?
come penitent, acknowledge their politi?
cal sins, and be takes back into the con?
fidence und patronage of the party.
I Union Times.
THE CONTEST.-Some of our friend?
claim that tho late election iu this Coun?
ty must bc contested. If fruad is any
ground ot co?tent, then, it can be
broken; for Ibero never was a moro open
and shameful fraud in any election. We
know that this is the common cry of the
defeated party, when politics run high,
ajd when tho parties are nearly ba?
lanced; but, in the present case, the
cheat and swiudlo are so easy of proof
that this chargecannot bo alleged against
us. It is well, however, for our friends
to take a sober second thought, and re?
flect upou the body befolg whom the
contest must be made. Will it be any
more thau appeal from Philip drunk to
Philip drunker? Tho Stute hus been
carried overwhelmingly by the extrem?
Radical faction, and wu very much fear
that the claims of right would be stifled
by a Legislature representing ultra Radi?
cals. It is plain, then, that the appeal
for justice must be made to those of tho
same kidney that planned and perpe?
trated the frauds against which we are
seeking redress. We do not suy this to
discourage the attempt. If it be thought
best to make the effort, then, we aro
ready for tho struggle-come weal or |
come woe. What we say is with a view
of showing the people the difficulties
that lie before them in the path pro?
posed; to calm the raging passions, that
reason may again reign. The case is a
desperate one and calls loudly for a
remedy. Fellow-citizens, it is for you to
Bay what shall be dono. You know tho
frauds under whioh you ure now suffer?
ing; you also know where the legal re?
medy lies. If you wish to contest the
election, then, go to work and amass thu
many proofs of frauds, and raise by sub?
scription tho feuds necessary to tho ef?
fort. Wo aro with you heart and baud,
but wo must say that to us it looks very
much like appealing to thu devil for tho
release of ouo of his unfortunate vic?
tims. You can hardly expect his satanic
majesty to decide against himself.

ESCAPED THE GALLOWS.-Wo were in?
formed, and HO published a few days ago,
that Martin Raynard was hanged at lien
dersouville ou tho 18th, for the murder
of Silas Weston and three of his chil?
dren. Tho publication was premature.
Wo have positive information that Ray?
nard escaped on tbo day set apart for
his execution. Raynard's wife hud been
permitted to visit her husband during
hid imprisonmeut. She was granted tho
privilege of remaining with him during
tho night of the 17th. The jailor visited
the cell about sunriso, and Bayoard
dressed up in tho clothes of his wife,
with a handkerchief to his face, and,
sobbing as if his heart would break,
passed out and made his escupe. Some
two hours or more after this occurrence,
tho jailor carried Buyuurd his breakfast,
and discovered that the occupant of the
ooh was Mrs. Baynard. Sho had on her
night clothing. Tho sheriff raised huo
and cry and started in pursuit, but to
latest accounts the condemned had not
been seen or heard of. Raynard's wife
clung to him from tho time ho wus ar?
rested, aud now enjoys the satisfaction
of saving bim from au ignominious
death. There were 5,000 people in Hen
carsonville to witness the hanging, and
great wac their consternation when they
learned that the bird had flown.

CONSUMPTION OF WHISKEY.-Tbe Now
Orleans Picayune says:
Wo know of four Parishes in this
State, with u population of about 43,000,
of all ages, colors und sexes, in winch
4,000 barrels of whiskey aro required to
meet the yearly demnud. It has been
estimated, upon a fair basis of calcula?
tion, that the consumers in these four
Parishes pay $500,000 yearly for liquor
and strong drinks-about three times the
amount of their State and Parish taxes.
The colored population all over the
State, not only the men but the women,
drink enormous quantities of whiskey..
Most of the stores iu all of the til?
lages and country Pariahes take out
licenses to sell whiskey. The city of New
Orleans, with a population equal to one
third of the inhabitants of the State,
conn?mes an almost fabulous quantity of
whiskey and other strong drinks, for
which they usually pay fifteen cents a
glass, and great quantities of lager beer
and milder beverages, for which they pay
from ten down to five cents a glass.
The grosa sales of the cotton and sugar
crops of the State sinoe the war usually
do not amount to over $30,000,000
yearly. The "drinks" of the people of
the State, and the liquor bills, amount to
moro than $30.000.000 yearly.
Here is an awful accident at Gervey,
Cote d'Or, at the establishment of MM.
Rousseau, wine-growers, which may be
judiciously bandied by temperance lec?
turers. Thu Messrs. Rousseau were en?
gaged in throwing grapes into a vat in
which some had ulreudy been placed for
three or four days. A man going down
to tread them was immediately suffocated
by the gases emitted during fermenta?
tion. One of the proprietors went down
to help him, and shared his fate. Then
the other M. Rousseau descended, and
was likewise prostrated; and to complete
tho trouble, Mud. Rousseau, mother of
Mesare., also went in, and was in tarn
overpowered. When the bodies were
taken out, three of them were dead, bat
the lady was restored to consciousness
after long efforts.
THE R?SOUT.-Tbe Radical party made I
moro desperate efforts and resorted to
more political chicanery to carry Pick
ens County in the last election than they
ever did in any previous election. With
a few new converts of some prominence,
who had been disappointed in receiving
n nomination from the Democratic party,
and with the colored vote on the Air
Line Railroad, they wore confident of
success. But they were doomed to a sad
disappointment. They have been routed
"horse foot and artillery." The election
passed elf quietly. Messrs. R. E. Bowen
aud O. C. Folgor were eleoted to the Le?
gislature.-Pickens Sentinel.
A foreign journal, quoted by the New
York Independent, says that Miss Albina
Ware, a natural daughter of President
Buchanan, died lately at Charleston.
During the rebellion she was one of the
most active and influential of ull the
emissaries of the South in Paris. She
was often recoived by Bonaparte, whom
sha endeavored to persuade to break the
blockade. It is well known that Bona?
parte was well inclined to the action,
and urged Lord Palmerston to unite
with bim in it. But he was not bold
enough to attempt it by himself. Miss
Ware, at the time of her death, was fifty
four years old.
