WASHINGTON. The Veterinary Surgeons of Finance. ] A Finanoier's Romedy for Stringon- oy in the Currency, The President’s New Banlkor---A Defenso of Senator Cara penter, From Our Oten Correapondent, WasHINGTON, Sopt, 29, 1873, Evorybody is now giviug o ronson in his own wany for the great stringoncy, tho great panic, and the gront blistor applied by Babeock, Grant, aud Richardeon, For fear of having an opinion of our own, wo may considor tho sceno whon tho above throo surgoona proceeded to put the blister on tho pationt, Wall straot, WALLY DEING DOGTORED. Poor old Wally had been seized with loss of wind, and yot with o colic ; sha had just time to put up tho shutters and reach tha Fifth Avenue Hotol, whero shio found b faculty In closo con- sultation, Richardson was armed with a bottle of lecclios, at which he squinted detormined- ly. Babcock carriod the blister, sproad on tho bnek of ono of the monuscript-monsure- monts of the Board of Public Works ; Grant had & battlo of somo kind labeled, I beliovo, ** Old Dr. Jacob Towusend's Blood-Purifier,” but he was very sparing of its contonts to other poople. The three doctors wero in Room 83, and looked up ot Wally a8 sho roeled in, as if to say '“\Who's to pay tho foo for this consultation ? It's none of our tunoral.” ‘Whally fell across the boed, and bit for air above, and wrigglod for squills bLelow. ‘ Your grateful coustituency of rich mon,” snid Wally, betwoen sposms, “wants your safest remedy with the smaltest dolay. 1f it involvo tho loss of your whole laboratory, that is of no consequence, for tho continunnce of your faculty is dopendent upon us.” ‘1 am at o Joss what to do with tho patient,” sald Dr. Grant, *for I never saw o rich porson with o colic boforo. Gonerally thoy bavo pro- scribed genorously for me. DBut here is Bab- cock, who romembors oli that Clews and Tom Murphy think on attacka liko the presont, and I rely with confidonco upen hic medieal judg- mont.” The Aide-de-Knw rospondod with tho confi- dcace nataral to youth : ** My proscription would be Son Domingo Bitters, but for tho fact that tho proparation ia now In the custody of the Governmont, [ITe looked at Dr. Grant's bottle.] On the whole, I think the stroug box of gold kept up in the Rocky Mountains, which was con~ fidently alluded to in tho Doctor's inaugural ad- dress, might now be applied with timelinoss.” “Dr. Babcock matriculates up well,” romarked Dr. Richardson; *‘but, as all the strong boxes &t tho son-ports have beon applied to build rail- ronds out to the particular strong box in the mountaius, and tho line i8 not now open, a re- leaso of—" ** Al 1" eried Wally, with 8 Iook more of cun- ning than of pai, *you have got it, Dr. Richard- son. The only hope forme is some Govern- ment reliof administered on your logal-tender preserver,” Hero Wally roared, and made so many muscular contractions that it looked liko the Open Board, “"I'vont do!" exclaimed Dr, Richardson, “it'y outside of tho faculty, This is none of lr?l,f‘uuuml. Tho Coustitution must be rospect- B St np!" exclaimod Dr. Brbeock, “ It you don’t, I'll smack you over the snoot with my blister. Nobody talks about the Constitution now but old-school physicians.” g Tho patient now raiseda yoll of pain, and sppeared to go into paroxysms, *Bab,," gaid Dr. Gront, *ordinarily you aro right, But, when I seon rich man with the colic, thio thought of my constitution comes over me, I cannot violato tho Constitution, Bab., and Richardson shall have his way.” Dr. Bab. wns hoard to mutter that things woro coming to o pretty pass in tho facunity whon a Secretary could crow down an Aide-do- Eaw, “No," says Dr. Richardson, *tho blister {a the truo application in this case, You take tho aticnt's colic on his own terms, and exchange Lio blister for it. Tho whole of the coin-balance blister will at once be applied in the presence of tlie Republic. If that fails, wo shall pump tho pationt full of our Tendor Preserves,” “Oh! Doctors,"” saya the patient, ** though T atm somowhat robust, coneider my sox and sparo mo. Teavo tho blister with me to apply it; for my colic has alrondy subsided a little.” ° Tho three doctors arose and sssonted to this requost. Thoy departed like mon who lind suc- censfully porformed tho Cmaarean oporation. As they loft the room, the pationt aroso, exe- cuted a flounco and a gambol, and kicked off all Lior unmontionablos. ~Quickfy sho taok upon hecsolf two nspocts,—one, stalwart, tsurino, and throwing up its head ; the other, small-cyed, durls, and rogarding the ground. “Yanderbilt,” snid tho countenance of tho ursino description, “lot us sot up his blister 1" ‘ Agreed, Gould!" enid the fuce of the Bull, “andif we get his Touder Preserves, wo'll eaf them, tool™ ¢+ And then we'll got the colic ufnln. cried the Bear, *‘and so on tfil we oat up all the laboratory of the faculty.” This ease, wo beliove, has boen fully reported In the National Medical Journal under tho titlo, A National Colic a Political Blessing."

A New nnd Suceessful Entorprises From the New York Eventng Poat, Sept, 24, A novel foature in American exports is the shipment of livo cattlo from tbis port to Glas- ow, to Lo slaughtered for the Scottish market, Tho onterprisc was latoly uudortaken by the Glasgow fitn of John Bell & Sons, the largost wholcsalo butehors in Scatland, who supply tho Auchor Lino of stoamships, A member of the firm, Honry Bell, is now in this city, and was quostiuned to-dny in regard to tho mnungemont and extont of tho now business, Ho snid that tho prico of beef in Scotlaud had advanced 60 per cent within tho last ten yenrs, in consoquance of tho rindorpest and tho rigid rostrictions subsoquently imposod by the Gov- ernment on the importation of cattle from abroad. DMany of thoso restrictions aro still io forco, and the importation of cattle from certain contincntal countries iv absolutely probibited, ‘I'lns atato of affairs dotermined his firm to_try the oxperimont of obtaining cattle from tho Uni- tod States, the cost of tho native cattle in the Glasgow market being from $150 to £225 per head. ‘Tho latter price, howover, it that of ouly tho best prize oxen.

'he flrst lot of twelvo sent out were forwarded by tho Cali- fornln, and wore vory unfortunnto, in consequence of the aevero storm which Iatoly dovastated the const of Nova Beotin, Four of the cattle wore wushed overboard, and when the vessel arrived at Glasgow, on tho 3d of this month, tho othors had beon badly bruised by tho rolling of tha ship, threo being unable to walk, As s tosult of this experionco, tho cattlo will horenftor bo carried betweon decks, This clange in the mothod of transportation will occnn‘iou some troublo, as tho cattle Lave hersto- fora been simply driven on and off the steamers by the gangway, whilo in future they must be hoisted m and out, Owing to tho Govornmental protections againgt tho rinderpost, tho cattlo aro quaran- tfilud in sheds on the whart for twelve hours aftor thoy aro landed.

[The following lettor apposred in a small portion of onr edition yeaterday 1] Special Correspondence of The Chicago Tribune, Hanrronn, Conn., Sopt. 20, 1879, The Gourt opened on Thursdny morning, a8 was unnounced by telegraph to Tie Tnibuse; and Justico Hunt eaid that all argumonts must bo closod by Friday ovoning. It was dirooted by tho Court, alao, that motions to dismiss should bo argued first, and aftorwards the gonoral domurrer. Thirty or forty millions of dollars will buy a strong defenso ; and such & dofenso {4 insured whon Willlam M. Evarts, Bonjamin R. Curiis, and Sldnoy Dartlott unito their abili- tion to that end. Tho Governmont woro over- matched boyond all comparison in matter of ’| counsel § and, to mnke bad worso, they scomed fully to appreciata tho fact from tho vory start.

In tho nfterncon, Mr. Lvarts took up the dofonse, and spoke for neatly two hoursin a clear, logical style, Ho way followed by Mr, Ash- ton,who has boen sick for somo time, and was un- ablo to do himself justico. Io was confined mostly tohis briof, which was compiled from various logal authorities, but was not mueh to the dam- sgoof Mr, Evarts, Noxt was Mr. Derry for Lalf an hour, when tho Court adjourned. Friday morning Mr, Porry took up his argumont for an hour or moro, and was followed by Mr. Curtis, aud ho by Mr. Bartlott, who alono spoke upon the domurrors—all othera spesking upon mo- tions to dismies. Readors of 'Tur TRmUNE may remomber a briof atatomont of the caso, which appoared ahout n wook since, whorein sclections were given from tho act under *which tho sult is brought, and tho questionable points mada em- phatic by undorlining. Novortholoss, tho im- pression” was quito gonoral hero that objec- tions to TIIE, FORM OF TiE RILL would not be listened to ; which imprersion, how- over, was modified nftor Mr. Evarts' argument, That idoa was fouuded upon the fact that tha aat waa tho result of speciul investigation; that Inwyors had the handling of it ; that tho Attor- ney-Gonoral himsolf brought the bill, and ho, at lenst, ought to bon man whose legal ability is not to be questioned. But the learned counsol for defonso put & new faco on tho matter, Tho stoaling would scem to bo admitted, and tho in- ventive fauluu ought to bo oqual to redross. Yot in o fogal way withal; for, if a man is to bo Lung, Lio Lias o right to bo bung by law, * Which is tho wisor horo # Justice or Iniquity # Tho defenso was woll planned and thorough, mf"lllh would bo interesting to know the points -of it. MR. EVARTS took o camgrfllmnni\'o viow of the caso as ro- Iatod to the Constitution ; mads prominent tho irregularities of the procedurc and tho inndvisability of _establishing u precodont of this kind. Mr. Curtis took a historical view, confined himsolf closely to tho immcdinte ques- tion, and spoko with great power. Mr, Dartlott treatod tho demurrer, attacking the bill in do- lln;l";n and & very ragged-looking document ho oft it, Mr, Evarts bogan by suvhl&! that this suit was of n novel character; it bad no precedont; it would have no successors, Wilh (he assistanco of mlr. Evarts' briof, I am ablo o givo his argu- mont: By (b Constitution, the dutios of the Legis- Intive, Bxceutivo, and Judicial Dopartments ara placed, in oxpross terma: the firat in Congress, the socond in the President, the lnst in_tho Bu- rrnmu Court; and, when wo como to the oxam« uation of a logal paper, wo bavo to considor which of these throo it bolongs to, and, if we find it issuing from any othor, condomn it at onco, Tho Judiciary act of 1789 dividos the United Btates, for Judicial purposcs, into dis- tricts and cireuits ; both of which courts must ba bold in districts as torritorially constituted; and ““No porson shall be arrested In ono district for trinl in another, in any civil action boforo a Cir~ ouit or Distriot Court. And no civil suit shall be brought baforo cither of said Courts, againat an inhabitant of tho United States, by an orig- inal process, in any othor district than that whoreof ho is an inhabitant, or in which ho shall bo found at tha timo of servingthe writ.” Such hna beon the law of the land aver sinco, and is tho Iaw of the land to-duy in all cares oxcopting the particular parties and dofendants to thia suit. Tho langingoof thoact . 18 DIRECTLY OPFOSED to tho languago of the Constitution. The mat- tora upon which this et proposcs rolief were transected beforo this act was passed, and it ac~ cordingly becomes rotrospoctive logisintion, and subjocts thoso defoudants to a different pro- cess thun was ever cxistent before, and different from that ~oxistent mnow_ in cmso of all the rost of the people of the United Statos, Mr, Evarts argued thnt tho nct was in reality an ox post facto lnw. Ho wont onto say that * No porson can be deprived of life, liberty, or prop- erty without duo procoss of law,” which meant the samo as tho *“law of the laud " in the Magna Charta. But those defondants aro mado the sub- Jocts of special logislation, and are triod by an act which is not tho law ot the land,—which doos not apply to nu{ other porsons, nor oven to these in any other sult, 1 GIVE M. EVARTS' LANQUAGE upon tho third point: *In this ostablished Jjurisdiction and procedure of tho Courts of the Unitad States, subject to which all suits in which the United States are plaintiffs or poti- tionors, liko those in which private parties are actors, must bo prosccuted sud maintained, tho act of 1873 in- torvones.

PESTILENCE. ‘Fhe Scourge at Shreveport. Shreveport (La.) Corrcspondence of the St. Lotta Globs, The medical fuculty are divided in opinion as to tho disease which 'is raging with such fury and fatal effect at Shroveport, some ctontending that 1t is yellow fover of thn most malignont g0, and cousequontly contagions, whilo othory Liold that it is the * yellow diseaso,” o mnlarial fover peculinr to tho swamps of the Southern Btates, and not at ull contagions, but, having bo- como 'opidomic from purely local causos, will coutinug to rago just 8o long ns tho causo ox- ity or thoro is material upon which it can food. The disenso is ushored in with a sevore chill of tho cougeativo typo. ‘The chill is recognized by great intornal heat and extremo colduess of tho surface, tho fingors fooling numb and the lips presonting o blue sppearanco, This chill lasts somotimes for twonty-four hours, or oven longer, during which timo tho sufforor contiuually asks for blaukets and ico wator, the former to wrap around Lis freczing form, and tho Inttor to quonch the raging firo that appenrs to be consuming his internal or- gans, This condition is followed by the appenr- auco of tho fover upou the surface, whilo the thirst increases, the tonguo is parched aud swollen, the faco and chest 1od, eyes bloodshot and suffused, tho respiration’ sighing, pulso quick nud strong, great rostlossness and anxioty, with cousidorable nausen, 'heso symptoms continuo for moveral lours, augmonting all the while, Tho patient nmow be- ns to vomit & dark, grumous mat- or, rosombling bile, aud tho surfaco of the body undergoes auothor change, and now presonts o jaundiced, yollow apposranca; tho &yes bocoma yollow, intonge pains uro folt in tho reglon of the kiducys aud bloody urine is void ed, The bowels ara genorally torpid, but somo- times a diarrhon attends the discaso; whon the Inttor is tho caso tho discharge Ly u tarry ap- penranco. At times a dark greon perspiration oozes from the body, coloring tho linen and im- parting to it fotid kmoll. These symptoms continuo from four to twelyo doys, and when not fatal leave tho patient in an almost helpless condition, couvalesconce nud recovery boing slow. . From the nbovo description of the disonse, ob- tained from soveral physiciavs, it will be readily observed by the professional render that thero is & matorinl difference botween it and yellow fovor, One thing is cortain, all the doctors admit and declare that the discase is more fatal than any scourgo of yellow favar horotofors roported, the mortality being fully 60 per cont of the number attnoked. Tho origin of tho diseaso is at present in donbt, although thoso who contond tlat it is tho * yel- low discnse,” claim that it Lind its origin in'the oxtromo low water of the Red River, which exposes a large extent of the bottom of the river to tho flerce rays of tho sun, therehy causing o malarial oxhalation from {ho damp carth. Tho low water has loft exposod npon tho hanks of the rivor & large smount of vege- table matter and decaying wood, the stonch of which is of a most mophilic charactor. Addod to thoso canses, some partios a fow weoks ago slaughtored a large numbor of disonsed Texns cattlo on tho river bank, skinning thom and per- mitting tho carcagses to remmnin and rot whoro they wero. These causos combined aro bo- Tiovod to b tho originof the scourge that is unow dovastating tho ill-fated town. That the above aro tho causes would appoar to bo tho caso, bocausio the diseaso Lins not sproad to tho adjacont towns and villages whoro- like local causes did not exist, Further evi- denco of the locul churactor and non-contagious- ness of the disoase, wo think, is shown in the fuct that o number of porsons who sought safoty In flight from the scourged city were stricken dowu aftor they had gotton away, yot thoso who attonded upon them, and wore brought into com- munication with them, were not attacked, bo- causo the local cansos wero absont, and tho dis- oago was 10t contagious—simply epidemio.
