| NEW YORK HERALD, SATURDAY, MARCH 1, 1879.-TRIPLE SHEET. ANOTHER MYSTERY. A Young Woman’s Remains Dragged from the Saugus River. MUTILATED AND DISFIGURED. Jammed Into a Narrow, Shallow Box. MEDICAL AND POLICE THEORIES. Was She the Victim of Mal- practice in Boston? a [BY TELEGRAPH TO THE HERALD. ] Lynn, Mass., Feb. 28, 1879. ‘The police station to-day was besieged by an excited and anxious crowd of citizens, all endeavoring to learn something new about the terrible mystery which has come upon the city in so startling and un- expected a manner. The body of the young woman which was found in a trunk last night doubled up end horribly mutilated 1s in charge of the under- taker and not exposed to the public gaze. The only topic of conversation all day has been the awful horror, apd police and pri- vate citizens are doing everything that is possible to unravel the mystery. The spot where the trunk was found has also attracted # large concourse of spectators. It is just on the boundary line between Lyxn and Saugus, on the marshes, about twenty rods from Fox Hill bridge. There is now no doubt that the poor victim was killed by a gang of abortion- ists, carried to the bridge in the trunk and thrown off into the water below. Here the body floated up and down with the tide, until it finally became stranded on the marsh, where it was discovered by Dailey, the coal screener. In an interview with Dailey be stated that he had been working away on the wharf of William M. Newhall, close to the water’s edge, and noticed the trunk, which he thought at first to be a large block of wood. He determined to haul it in and use it for firewood, and set about so doing promptly. What was his hor- ror when he touched the trunk to discover @ human hand protruding! Paralyzed with fear and dreading any complications which might follow, he ealled another workman named Reardon to his as- Sistance, and they together dragged the floating mass to the shore. The trunk was fastened by a strong rope tied securely around it. This they cut asunder, and on lifting the ld a most ghastly spectacle was presented. The body of a yoang woman was found doubled up within, the legs and arms being, twisted about in every conceivable position. The boay wae almost naked, the only garment being a nightgown, which was of such texture as to give evi- dence that the woman moved in rather good society. DOCTORS EXAMINE THE REMAINS. The two men having hastily viewed the remains and noted the circumstances just mentioned, gave the alarm and the other workmen flocked to the scene of the horror. The police were at once notified and the news spread over the town. The body was brought to the station house and an autopsy performed by the Medical Examiner and Dr. Lovejoy, Acareful examination of the ex- ternal i pease of the body was first made. It ‘was found on washing the face, which was covered with a heavy coating of clotted blood, that the nose had been cut clean off, and, as the missing member eould not be found, the fact soon be- came apparent that the mutilation had been erformed betore the body was packed in the trunk. he trunk measure | 2 feet 434 iuches in length, 154; inches bey and 18% inches wide. When it was opened by the physicians the body was found doubled up; the right leg was drawn up under the body and the beer drawn over the breast; the head inclined to one side. Tho result of the examination made by the doctors on the internal portions of the body showed that the rain, heart and liver were in a healthy condition; there was a slight congestion of the lungs; the uterus and bowels were considerably inflamed and death was undoubtedly caused by abortion. It also ap) that the woman had been preg- nant about six months when the operation was performed. There was no sign of putrefaction, and death must have resulted about forty-eight hours previous to the finding of the trunk. Hero, then, was a terrible tragedy enacted probably in the city limits of which no person knew anything and to eect of which there seemed to be not the slightest clew. AN ARREST ON SUSPICION. About midnight a young man named Clough was arrested and locked up ona charge of being acces- sory to the procurement of an abortion. The ar- rest was made on a rumor that a young girl named Clarrage, with whom Clough had been known to be intimate, was missing. It was subsequently learned, however, that the girl, instead of being a mutilated co. wae quietly sleeping in her bed, sound aud healthy. Clough was therefore discharged. This left the authorities with- out a clew to begin on. No person has as yet beon reported missing. As usual, the detectives dis- agree. Ono who came down from Boston is confident that the crime was committed in Lynn, while Lynn and Salem detectives respectively feel equally positive that the abortion was performed in Boston, A Salem detective says he is convinced that the victim came from some of the lying-in hospitals of the “Hub;”’ that the trunk was cl over the marshes, as the most untre uented section of the country in the vicinity of »ston, and thrown into the Saugus River. He says the trunk will serve as a very good help to the officers in following up the guilty parties. It is of peculiar construction and of #uch shape and style as are not often seen. An express label was found on the end, which had evidently not been on long, and certain ‘linings and wraps inside are regarded as of ™ assistance. The detectives started out this morning to follow up these trails, and the wires have been busy, while carriages and horses are freely used, The town is excited, and no effort is to be spared to hunt down the perpetrators of the awful crime, YRUITLESS ATTEMPTS AT IDENTIFICATION. Some tive hundred ecple from different parts of the city and surrounding towns have viewed the body to-day, but not one could identify it, and the impres- sion is fast growing on the authorities that the un- fortunate girl was brought from some other town, the trunk carried over some railroad or by some ex- press, and that the bricks and buttles were used as a “blind” to deceive the parties who handled the trunk. The trunk, as bas been stated, is old fashioned and made of leather, and « clothes line was strappod around it to hold the cover on, Ordinarily it would uot attract special attention, aud it when being moved a noise should be made by the bottles and bricks clashing together it would cause the bessagemen to handle it with more care, and also lead tw belief that it was an emigrant’s or The nationality of tho doubt. Some think she is of Irish and some of German parentage, It is almost certain that her nose was cut off by a down- ‘ward stroke of a razor, as her upper lip was scarred, and the cut was very clean. It is the opinion of Medical Examiner Vinkham that the act of cut- ting off the nose was done atter death, as there ‘was no blood trom the wounds; but it was prob- ably done before the body was packed in the trunk. ‘Tho earrings, which may lead to the identi- fioation of the woman, were prol overlooked in the haste of the parties concerned in the transaction, The physician who made tne autopsy thinks the ‘Woman survived the operation that caused her death only a few hours, and that she was packed in the trunk in the same garments sho had when she died, The could not have béen placed in the trunk and disposed of by one person, and two or more persons must have been connected with the affair, Her murderers knew that they could not obtain a permit to place the body in a tomb, and as the frozen ground freee the possibility of burying it they wore obliged, in order to dispose of the body, to throw it into the water, ‘The constitution of the deceased was very delicate, aud in the opinion of the physictan who made the autopsy, death must have soon followed the opera- ne workingman’s 5 woman is & question of some & FAINT CLEW. ‘The first clow of Py eae is optained from @ man in the town of Revere, who says that at about ee on Tuesday a span ot clipped horses, at- tached to @ double sleigh, containing a man anda ‘woman, was driven rapidly Cog ere woward Lynn, aud that about an hour later the team was seen returning, not having had time to reach Lynn and return. This information was given by one William Hos clam digger by oc- cupation, who was standing in the horse car station at Revere when tho team drove by, and when it re- turned Hosper, who lives on tue turnpike road, near the Saugus river bridge, also at he saw the trunk in which the body was found sticking up in the bridge on Weduewlay morning, and that he thought it was a egy of old lumber, this story it may be prob: the man and lady in saw the trunk on Wed day moruing the theory of & eerie wi , ble the water on ‘ednesday night is exploded, 1 exci i. casioned Dy the murder increases, aetuedlma A SICKENING PICTURE, ight bas closed iu without a single sure step being made toward the discovery of the murderers or the identification of their victim, The Hxnatp cor- respondent paid another visit this evening to the yoom where the body is laid out, He learned that in all “800 people had called dur- the A y came in from the country in all sorts of vehicles and wanted to see the victim of man’s inbomanity, as she lay stretched out with not but &@ piece of cotton cioth fora winding sheet, The little room has been constantly crows with visitors, and yet no one has recognized the disfigured remains. Now and then one approached in fear and trembling, Sinking of some loved one and fearing to see them, but have gone away with a fervent “thank God” on their lips that their friend or relative does not lay beneath that coarse sheet, spread with no loving hand by justice or charity, The mutila- tion of the face does not so disfigure the countenance as to reuder it impossible for rela- tives to recognize it, and those unmoved lookers-on see only the face of ® woman of at least thirty years of age. Marks of pain are evident upon the wan, upturned face, and cach muscle seems to tell a distinct and horrid story of sufferin, and trust aanepolntee. There is none of that awfu repose of death—simply suffering and sorrow. The physicians who conducted the autopsy agree that the murdered woman must have been sick at least six weeks before she died, and that being the case, it is little wonder that the cold, still face seems painfully distorted. POLICE THEORIES DISCUSSED, The theory that the detectives have started to the eftect that the abortion was committed in Boston and the woman brought out over the marshes, seems to be doubted by some persons to- night. If euch had been the case, why did the murderers not leave their victim nearer the city? Why did they cross several rivers and pass by several places where the tide runs stronger than at the place where they did leave it? They could have disposed of the evi @ of their crime nearer home and thus ran less chance of detection, tor their team, if y came in a team, was very likely to be overhauled and searched. It is quite evident that the girl did not belong in Lynn or her body would have been identified by some one be- fore this. But had the murdered woman lived in Salem and had her body been brought from there the place where it was thrown into the river would have been the most likely place that it could have been tound, 18 SHB MAGGIE CALLAHAN? There are very many reasons why certain particn- lars cannot be given of certain assertions, and the present is a case in point where one can assert with reasonable certainty that the name of the murdered woman is MaggieCallahan. She has worked in Lynn, but has latterly been in Salem, and it is trom there that the mutderer or murderers may one day be taken, Reports from other cities and towns have been few and fur between. Nobody seems to be missing that would at all answer the description of the murdered woman. The police are on the qui vive for any new clew, but the morning will doubtless dawn and find the mystery stil! unsolved, FRANK BASSET’ "S TRIAL. THE CASE SUMMED UP BY COUNSEL ON BOTH BIDES. Burvcerort, Conn., Feb, 28, 1979. ‘The trial of Frank E. Bassett for the murder of Frank Weinbecker, alias “Stuttering Jack,’’ was re- sumed this morning. The court room was packed, the ladies, as usual, forming a large share of the attendance. Mrs. Alexander was present. She wrote the following on a slip of paper and handed it to Mr. Olmstead, the Attorney for the State:— T did not live with Clague for five years before I married Alexander. I first came to Bridgeport away from Clague's persecutions. 1 didn’t shake my bead at Frank. Idid not see him. I was saying “What a lie! All false to the core!” Please correct that for me, and I will bless you if you will ouly have mercy. Remember your own loved ones. It was not raven, jo me expose Krank. It was my own oes dele at the lossof my home I had worked so bard or. Bassett sat in the prisoners’ dock, and directly in front of him sat Mrs, Alexander, and on her left sat Mrs. Bassett, the mother of the prisoner, with her two daughters. Bassett looked cool and calm. Mrs. Alexander at times sobbed bitterly while the counsel for the defence addressed the jury. Mrs. Alexander, being recalled as a witness, said that George Bassett visited the house frequently, as did also the rest of the family. She employed Mrs.’ Bassett, and the whole family frequently took their meals there; some of them came there two or three times a day. ‘THE SUMMING UP. F. H, Holt, associate counsel for the State, com- menced the summing up, reviewing the testimony and appealing to the jury for « conviction against Bassett, He was followed by Mr. M. D. Wilbur for the defence, who urged that the testimony of Mrs. Alexander, a convict serving outa sentence in State Prison for this same murder, should not be believed Dy the jury against his client. He also claimed that the prosecution had failed m the proot that Bassett administered the chloroform to “Stuttering Jack,” as charged in the indictment, and asked for a verdict of acquittal. James H. Olmstead, counsel for the State, reviewed the testimony. He called attention to the fact that Bassett bought the chloroform and the barrel; that he was seen drinking with Weinbecker; that he is clearly proved to have gone with the body in the barrel to New Haven, and being unable to sell it then hid it in the gully gnd burned the clothes. Counsel urged that the admit facts proved Bassett at least equally guilty with Mra, Alexander of the murder, ir. D. B. Lockwood closed for the defence. At the conclusion of his argument the Court adjourned till to-morrow morn- nee Judge Logmis will deliver his charge to e jury. TO BE HANGED, SENTENCE OF DEATH PASSED UPON MYRON A. BUEL FOR KILLING CATHARINE RICHARDS, (BY TELEGRAPH TO THE HERALD.] CoorErsrows, N. ¥., Feb. 28, 1879, This morning at eigiit o'clock there was a larger and more eager crowd in-the Otsego County Court House than had been during any previous stage of the Buel murder trial. The convicted prisoner wes the object upon which all eyes were turned, aud va- rious were the expressions heard as to the changes in his appearance since the announcement of the jury’s verdict against him last evening; but to a calm ob- server there were no perceptible changes. Mr. Lynes addressed the Court on his motion for a new trial, claiming that all the laws relating to the legal definitions of manslaughter and murder in the first degree were not read to the jury in connection with Judge Murray’s charge. He read from 3 Wendell, page 159; Foster vs. People, 50 New York, 508, page 601, and 37 New York, and numerous other authori- ties in support of his motion. He also read from The People vs. Stokes. The jury were charged to find # verdict either in first degree or acquit. They should have been instructed to find on the several degrees of manslaughter as well. L. L. Bundy, on bebalt of the people, argued against the motion. He claimed that the Lowenstein case was resented in the same way by Judge Larned as was ‘his by His Honor. He ocoupied but ten minutes. Judge Murray, after a short consultation with his associates, decided that, in the opinion of the Court, there were no grounds for 9 new trial. He therefore denied the motion, Mr. Lynes then asked that tho time of execution be stayed so far as to allow of an application to the General Term in May. District Attorney Benedict then moved for sentence upon the prisoner. SENTENCED TO DEATH, Bucl stood up, and was asked by Judge Murray if he had anything to say why sentence should not be ronounced? Buel, for the first time, choked, shook Ris head and the tears came to his eyes while the Judge was speaking, then by # great effort he col- lected himself and was calm again. But when at length the Judge solemnly pronounced the words “that on the 18th day of April next he be taken to the Court House Jail ana hanged until dead,” he iost his self-control completely, and, putting his hands to his face, sobbed loud and pitifully. There was not a dry eye in the court room. After the spectators had departed and Buel Pe tly recovered himself he was taken to the jail, and so the sad scono ended. ATTEMPTED ASSASSINATION. (by TEL¥GRAaPH 10 THB HERALD.) Lone Brancn, N. J., Feb. 28, 1879, Frederick Dalzell, a baker, under the influence of liquor, appeared in the street flourishing a revolver and threatening the life of Peter Lloyd, a policeman, whom he accused of improper intimacy with Mra. Dalzell. After frightening women and children for some minutes he was disarmed and placed in tho lockup, but was subsequently released on depositing $50 as seourity for his Sppoarance. On being brought before the magistrate to-day he waived examination, and was remanded in default of $600 bail to await tho action of the Grand Jury in May next. (bY TELEGRAPH To THE HERALD.) ATLANTA, Feb, 28, 1879, The new four per cent bonds of the State of Georgia arrived this evening. They are handsomely engraved, somewhat richer in appearance than a greenback bill and of exactly that size, ‘Treas urer Renfroo says he has more orders filed already than he*can fill, and is confident ho could float a million dollars’ worth in Georgia alone. Your correspondent is assured after general questioning that the five-dollar bonds will be used freely as a circulating medium, ‘The constitu. tionality of the bonds has been carefully and widely looked into, aud there seems to be no doubt of the right of the State to issue them. Copies of the bond-bill, with incidental {nformation, have been sent by request to officials of nine Southern and Westetn States, and very general interest is mani- fested in the success of this experiment, T!

The diplomas granted the audience waited with no little anxiety for the opening of the envelopes that contained the names of the prize winners. For the Stevens Triennial Prize, open to universal compe- tition, no award was made by the committee, none of the essays having duly tultilicd the condition that they should be based on personal research, The Joseph Mather Smith Prize of $100, open to alumni of the college, was allotted to Dr. William 0. Moore, of New York, The three Harzen prizes, valued respectively at $150, $50 and $25, were awarded, in order of merit, to Frederick Tilden Brown, C. H. Merriam and W. Kk. Townsend. Six essays had been submitted for the Prize of the Alumni, worth $500, but in respect of originality all were found wanting, and the faculty thought it bet- ter to maintain the standard by refusing the prize. The awards for general proficiency were given to Mes: J. W. Boye, J, B, MacMahon and T. W. Corwin. Finally, Professor Markoe stated that a large proportion of the Harzen Prize, which was originally destined for the best report of clinical in- struction, having acquired by long accumulation a present value of $26,000, would, by order of the Su- preme Court, be henceforth diverted from its origi- nal object, which merely demanded a clerical and mechanical ability, and divided into ten rewards for general proficiency. Rev. Roswell D. Hitchcock closed the proceedings with an address to the graduates, bidding them re- member that the science of yesterday is the sophistry of to-day, that the physician is to society whut the brain is to the body, and that, though America is perhaps overdoing ‘herself professionally, yet no profession is crowded in the upper parts, and every new doctor can benetit and bless mankind and bring fresh honor to an honorabie calling. THE LECTURE SEASON. DR. LORD SPEAKS ON CARDINAL BICHELIEU. Cardinal Richelieu was the subject of Dr. Lord’s lecture at Chickering Hall yesterday morning. France never was in & worse condition, said the lec- turer, than when Richelieu came into power. Tho people were suffering from outrageous laws; they groaned, but there was no justice. The nobility were engrossed in their own pleasures, and the clergy were busy cheating the governmeyt and rob- bing the people. They were selfish, worldly minded and intriguing; never in earnest, never consistent. ‘Tho Huguenots did not contribute to the prosperity of the government. They were ever ready to as- scrt with force of arms their equality to the crown. They sought rather to destroy than to sus- tain the government, and they were not a party to be trusted with power. Amid these scenes Richelieu rew up; he studicd all parties and hated them all. je loved power as Michael Angelo loved art. He re- solved to gain it at every hazard, considering always that the end justified the means. In short, Richelieu ‘was a politician. He was first desiqned for thearmy, but a bishopric pein, in the gift of the family he took holy orders. fe became the confidential ad- viser of the Queen, who, woman like, told him all her secrets, which, man iike, he betra; He then wound himself around the King; he me Mints- ter of Foreign Affairs and then his career began. Everybody trusted in him and everybody was betras ed by him. He was frivolous among tools, learned among scholars, full of hypocrisy as an is of meat—al eyes, no heart. He made himself indispensable to Louis XIIL._ It became evident to the King that one master hand should have control, Richelieu, with all his tricks, follies and ambitions, believed sincerely in one thing—that absolutism was necessary in France. The King to him was divinely commis- sioned. He was an autocrat and believed in class and monopolies, aud that goverument was to keep down the rebellious class. Ie wished to see France yowerful, united, prosper so when he became Prime Minister he began to carry out that : which he was bound body and soul. He became a changed man, and was uo longer a politician, but a statesman, There is something imposing in the power of goveruing displayed by this an. Thereare wise tyrauts and unwise tyrants, Richelfeu was one of the former, There was great need of a mon like Richelieu. He had wit, sagacity, an enlightened mind, and was devoted to public interests. Just as New York may one of these days demand « Mayor of iron. Richelieu uever had friends and vever wanted them. Every one was against him but the people. He began his conquest of the Huguenots because they were political disorganizers; they were factious rebels, sad Richelieu was right. Unable to defend themselves openly they took refuge at La Rochelle and invoked foreign aid; this was treason. Richelieu was a statesman, not & bigot. He kept the Huguenots out of high rt and pursued the same course that England did with the dissenters. They became citizens and never amounted to anything as a power after the fall of La Rochelle. I have great respect for the Huguenots, said Dr. Lord, but there is something lacking about thom that cannot be laid to the Puritans in the time of Cromwell. Richelieu obtained supreme influence over the King and made him exile his mother, the woman he most loved. By his will and genius Richelieu prostrated enemy after enemy to increase the power of tho crown. His régime was adapted to the people. After he had sub- dued his enemies he sought to improve the country, and laid a splegita toundation for the govern- ment of Loula XIV. All that is grand in the history of France up to the Revolution clusters about this reign, When arraigned before the bar of pos- terity Richolien will be Judged by his public works. He kept the fo Mem aud was, through God, a terror to evil doers. We respect a man who adapts his methods to necessity. Governments have to be suited to the people. A republic would no more flourish in China than # despotism in New England. A despotic power is necessary to suppress corrup- tion. God often chooses despots to his instra- ments. When men aro brave and honest God sends shington; when they are corrupt He sends japoleon or a Richelieu. THE ASSOCIATED PRESS, “The Associated Press; or, How We Get Our News,” will be the subject of afree lecture by Mr. J. W. Simonton, in the great hall of the Cooper Unton, this evening. Recent proceedings before a Senate cominttwe at Washington have attracted public attention to the subject upon which Mr, Si- monton will lecture, and it is one upon which the public generally should be better tntormed than it is, Everybody who reads a newspaper profits by the work of the great newsgathering organization, but few have any idea of the process by which a world is swept daily of its news to minister to their needs, MISER WELLS. The report of the commission appointed by the Supreme Court of Kings county to examine and de- termine as to the sanity of Jonathan Tremain Wells, the woalthy but eccentric retired merchant, was con- Armed by Judge Gilbert yesterday, THE CATTLE DISEASE. GOVERNOR M'CLELLAN AND GENERAL PATRICK CONFERRING ON MEASURES FOR STAMPING OUT TAY CONTAGION—IMPORTATION OF NEAT CATTLE FROM ENGLAND PROHIBITED. General Patrick was found in his office at the Board of Health in Brooklyn wading through a mass ot reports from several qgarters of the State. “Busy as I am,” said he toa HeraLp reporter, “I have got time enough to talk with you, but you must not keep melong.”’ The General then detailed his interview and correspondence with Governor McClellan, who had assured him that the New Jersey authorities would render all the aid in their power in stamping out the cattle disease. General Patrick informed Governor McClellan that the efforts of Governor Robinson would avail but little unless efficient aid were afforded from New Jersey. ‘he §=Gov- ernor (McClellan) was &ind enough to act on my suggestion,” said General Patrick, “and I am satisfied that a bill will be framed which will meet al! the requirements. “You see,” said the General, “how we are exposed, Sev- eral counties in New Jersey, the eastern counties of Pennsylvania and Fairfax county, to Virginia, send cuttle through New Jersey. Now, if we only had certain points of delivery in that State, say Commu- nipaw and Long Dock, if you please, and a quaran- tine on our plan were established, there would be no fear that the disease would be transterred to our State. Until such assistance is rendered by our neighbors in New Jersey and Pennsylvania we will be supjected to a yreat deal of trouble. ButIdo not apprehend any difficulty, for we have a common interest in this mutter, and my interview with the Legislative com- mittee has convinced me that Senator Ward and As- semblyman Rouse, the chairmen of the committees iu the upper and lower houses respectively, will introduce such @ Dill as the exigencies of the time de- mand. I am satisfied,” said the General in con- clusion, “that the gentlemen composing the commit- teo are in earnest, and I look for the buppiest results from their labors.” Professor Low was next interviewed by the Henao reporter. He recited the main points on which the sanitary authorities relied for an etfective quaran- tine. The cattle disease, aa vow existing, is not de- veloped after contagion; in most cases until after four or six weeks. In nearly every case the disease has been transmitted from Germany. ‘Why does it not prevail in the West? was asked. “Because the cows don’t go in that direction; they come this way," was the reply. ‘The rinderpest,” continued the Professor, “was nothing to this, which is a fearful disease, yet whon it broke out in Massa- chusetts it way stamped out at a cost of $64,000, and it would bave been cheaply done for $100,000, and it has never appeared since. It {s worthy of remark that this disoase never appears in steers.” It is not generally understood that the law under which Governor Kob,nson is now acting in relation to the cattie disease was passed in 1866 to guard against the rinderpest from abroad. The fever among the Texan cattle broke out in 1868, und Gen- erel Patrick was appointed a commissioner at that time to prevent its extension. AP THE BLISSVILLE STABLES, Under Sheriff Rusamore reimaiued at his post at the Blissville stables at the head of the staff of depu- ties yesterday. The excitement hus subsided to a re- markable di e since the Sheriff notified the row- dies that they would be summarily dealt with if found within the enclosure. No cattle were removed during the day, and it is doubtful it any will be taken away to-day, as General Patrick and Professor Law are busily eng: on reports from the interior of the State. Drs. Lange and McLean are inspecting the Western district cow stables, and Dr. Bel! has been assigned to duty in Williamsburg at the cattle rendezvous near the toot of Broadway. Yesterday afternoon Veterinary Surgeon McLean made an examination of eight head of milch cows that were kept in a stable on Rockaway avenue, near Dean street. He found three out of eight im a-very weak and debilitated covdition, suffering from pleuru-pneamonia, The stable, in common with all others in which sick cattle are found, was ordered under quarantine. CATTLE DISEASE IN ENGLAND. Collector Merritt received the following important letter yesterday trom the Treasury Department in regard to the cattle disease in England :—- ‘Truasvuy Devantxnt, Wasitnaton, Feb. 26, 1879, Cousxcron oF Customs, New York Six—The department learns that the disease called plury-pnea:nonia has recently broken out oF been found to bxist anon neat cattle at Hull, England, and you are horeby instructed not to pormit the landing of nost cattle at your port from England until otherwise instracted, this order Boing ‘based upon weection 2405 of the Revised Statutes. Very respectfully, . F. FRENCH, Assistant Secretary. ‘The above order was promulgated among the depu- ties, who are directed not to allow any entries of cattle trom England to be made. LEGISLATORS TAKING ACTION. The House and Senate committee of the New Jer- sey Legislature bad a lengthened interview with General Patrick and Dr, Law, of New York, Thars- aay, upon the subject of pleuro-pneumonia among heeoot cattle and the means for the prevention and cure of the contagion. The object in securing the attendance of the two gentlemen men- tioned was to formulate a similar system to that in use in New York, Senator Ward and Assembly- men Rouse, Bruen and Hunt, of the committee, with a number of other iegislators, were present, General Patrick and Professor Law previous to the meeting dined with Governor McClellan, who ex- pressed himself emphatically in favor of any action calculated to stamp out the disease, which he believed was prevailing to @ much greater and more serious extent than was generally supposed. In response to the request of the committee, Dr. Law, first gave a general review of the disease. It appeared during this century first in Ireland in 1839, and two years later in England, and two years thereafter in the United States, It is question- able whether the disease is ever generated spontan- eously except in the vast steppes of Asia or the plains of Western Europe. That it always occurs from con- tagion is shown by the fact that it has never pene- trated the Highlands of Scotland or other districts where foreign animals do not penetrate. It was in- troduced {nto Australia by a single cow, and now prevails throughout the Continent, The Western States have not been affected, because the tide of cattle travel tends Eastward entirely. If any cases reach the sreat ranches of the West the effect will be terribly tifsastrows. Cattle are affected without discrining- tion as to health or breed; four to eight weeks are required to develop the disease in an animal which has become infected. OPPOSED TO INOCULATION. In response to questions by the committee as to the benefit to be derived from inoculation, both Gen- eral Patrick and Professor Law expressed tho strong- est opinions in opposition to it. They said It may save the lives of a single herd, but it will sproad from them and do all the injury’ which is at- tributed tosick cattle. The disease miy be carried in the clothes of laborers or in the hair of horses, but no other animal than the bovine is affected. Genera! Patrick said that the meat of animals killed ntirely eaten up by the disease was sold to butchers. Other meat is buried and the hides hed to prevent the spread of the disease, There were 800 animals at Bliseville, L. 1,” said 1 Patrick, *when we began work. All but 200 destroyed, and it is my intention not to leave a hoof on the place.” General Patrick de- scribed the method of carrying out the quarantine of vattle, the het ae tert of inspectors and neral workings of the law. He snygested that thi York law, if adopted in Now Jersey be so modified as to permit the killing of infected animals instead of quarantining them, aa the cost would be much less. About two-thirds of the value of the slaughtered animal should be paid to its owner. Vemrinary surgeons must be of the best character. “I have,” said the venerable General, “had the most abominable experience with some of these gentlemen, whom 1 have found not above ac- cepting a bribe. The Sheriff’s officers are poor sticks, ol poor; & policeman in uniform is worth four of thea The committee then adjourned, Nias, Pyne a bill similar to the New York law will probably be sub- mitted to the Legislature. As an illustration of the spread of the disease among cattle in New Jersey it is only necessary to remark that a sale of cattle was advertised for last ‘Tuesday, tu Hunterdon county, and after ten of the animals were sold it was discovered that eight were diseased, and the sale was thereupon stopped, THE PLEURO-PNEUMONIA SCARE AT CHICAGO— NO FOUNDATION FOR IT. Wasurtxoron, Feb, 28, 1979. ‘The following telegram has been received by tho Commissioner of Agriculture:— Union Stock Yarps, Curcaao, Feb, 28, 1879. ‘The Hon, W. G. LeDvc, Commissioner of Agricul- ture, Washington, D. C,:—~ in tue Chicago Tumes of today appeared an article ‘Plewro-Pneumonia; Its Aj vance at the Stock Yard OMicially Reported.” The article not only contains erroneous statements, but also such a per- version of facts as ts calculated to misload the public, to cause Unnecessary alarm, and do great damage to the live stock interests of the whole Northwest. The facts ave as follows :— Dr. H. T. Detmers, veterinary surgeon, appointed as inspector of cattle at the Union Stock Yards at Chicago by Commissioner of Agriculture, General W, G. Le Duc, entered upon his duties as ipepector on the 10th inst. A clean bill of health has been given to all_ cattle shipped from the Union Stock Yurds of Chicago on every day up to this date, except on Saturday, February hed when one zoerling heifer was found which exhibited signs suspicions of pleuro-pneumonia, To ascertain with certainty the presence of that disease the heifer waa killed imme- diately aud those morbid changes in the lungs char- acteristic of pleuro-pneumonia were found. The heifer in question, it was ascertained, had come iu toyether with another, having the same car mark, in « car lowl of hogs trom Sublette, Lee county, Lil. ‘Lhe other heifer, on cavetul examination, did not exhibit tie least symptons of that disease, Betoxe We procecdiffurther in this statement of facts it may remarked that during the last frty years the authorities on diseases of cattle, feularly pleuro-pneumonia, have not been to agree whether hepartization, a char- teristic morbid change of contagious pleuro- pneumonia of cattle, occura oniy in the latter disease, or also the product of sporadic or non-contagious pneumonia, oh af is common in horses, in hogs and in mais, ‘Lhe authorities, as wo said, are divided on that question, Some say they layo weyox seoug a case of hepartization in the lungs of cattle, except | uit., aged seventy years. He entered the navy tm in contagious pieuro-pneumonia, and others claim | they have, but wcdinit that bepartization is a rare Occurrence in a common, non-contagious influa- mation of the lungs of cattle; hence it was the plain duty of the imspector to consider the case found as contagious pleuro-pneumonta until the contrary had ‘been “proven, ‘his he did, reporting the case to the Commissioner of "Agriculture and also to the Collector of Customs. The next step taken was to send an experienced veterinary surgeon, F. W. Prentice, weer Champaign, Il., to Sublette, Lec county, Iil., to in- vestigate aud examine carefnily, not only the herd of cattle to which the heifer in question had belonged, but also all neighboring herds. ‘The arrival in ques: tion had been shipped by W. Dexter, of Sub- lette. The herds examined by Mr, Prentice are those of W. R. Mong, 66 “head; W. Dexter, 76 head; ©. Hatch, 50° head; T. McConnell, 52 head; W, Truman, 130 head; loGinnis, 45 head; and others, making in all’ 433 head, Dr. Prentice, who has just returned, has not found in any of these 433 animi solitary symptom indicating the pres- ence of pleuro-pueumonia, not even a sick animal. As contagious pleuro-pneumonia is highly con: tagious, and having once broken out in a herd exempts but few if any animals, {t can safely concluded, especially as the affected heifer has been bred and raised by Mr. Dexter, that the case in question was only common pneumonia, which resulted in hepartization and which is not at all contagious; consequently there is not the slightest cause of alarm, and it may still be safely affirmed that centagious pleuro-pneumonia does pot exist in the Northwestern States and Terri- tories tributary to the Chicago stock yards. Office of the United States Inspector of Cattle, at the Union Stock Yards of Chicago, Ill. H. J. DETMERS, Inspector. F. W. PRENTICE, M. D., Assistant Inspector, for the United States Depart- ment of Agriculture, : EFVICIENT SAFEGUARDS. Commissiener Le Duc says he has no information that warrants any excitement or apprehension of the presence of this disease in any of the cattle shipping and raising States west of the Allegheny Mountains; that the prompt detection and arrest of this single case of common _ non-contagious pueumoula among the thousands of cattle examined y the veterinary surgoon of his department should rather give confidence to shippers, consignees and consumers that every precaution possible will be taken to secure a most thorough and efficient in- spection, and any case resembling pleuro-pneumonia will be instantly dealt with and traced to its source and the facts in due time given to the public. Con- cealment of facts in this matter he considers neither necessary nor Wise. ENGLISH CATTLE EMBARGOED. bd Boszon, Mass,, Feb. 28, 1879. Collector Beard received to-day from the Sccretary of the Treasury letter {informing him that pleuro- pneumonia had broken out recently, or been found to exist, among neat cattle at Hull, Eugland, and di- recting him not to permit the landing of neat cattle at this port coming from England until otnerwise ordered, The Collector has given directions forbid- ding the landing of any neat cattle from England for the present. OBITUARY, THE ARCHIMANDRITE PALLADIUS. ‘The venerable and accomplished head of the Rus- sian ecclesiastical mission in China, the Archiman- drite Palladius, has just died at Marseilles, where he recently landed on his return from the East, caused by failing health. During the many years of his residence at Pekin Le was an assiduous student of Chinese literature, and gained a more thorough knowledge of the history, philosophy and religions of China than was possessed by any European scholar. Though he never published any indepen- dent work he was a large contributor to the Russian periodical published by his mission establishment at Pekin (1552-66, 4 vols., Svo.), in which red from his pen ‘A Lite of Buddh: vol. L.), rie cal Studies on Ancient Buddhism’ (vol. IL), ‘he Navigation Between Tientsin and Pekin” (vol, IL), “An Ancient Mougol Account of the Life of Genghis Khan,” and “The Mohammedans in China’ (vol. IV.) He contributed articles of similar character and vaiue to the Recueti Oriental and the “Proceed- ings” of the geographical societies of Siberia (1867-74), and St Petersburg (1871). At the time of his death he had completed and was about to cee a Chinese-Russian dictionary, which, it is to be hoped, may yet be given to the pablic. CARDINAL FILIPPO MARIA GUIDI. Cardinal Guidi, whose death yesterday is an- nounced bya cable despatch, was one of the five highest dignitaries of the Sacred College, known as Cardinal-Bishops.

His Eminence was titular abbot of San Sisto und Prefect of the Congregation of Ec- clesiastical Immunity. At the Vatican Council he ‘was one of the few Italian cardinals who endeavored, in his own language, “to attenuate the declarative terms of the dogma of Papal Infallibility.” He was a prelate of marked oratorical ability, of a concili- atory disposition, and maintained a diplomatic re- serve upon the subject of his private opinions on points of religious or political controversy. He wax a man of robust frame, and in comparison with most of his brethren excelled in the virtues of poverty, benevolence and modesty. i MICHAEL C, SMITH. In the midst of the excitement among the lobby at Trenton last week the veteran Michael C. Smith, who had for years borne the sobriquet of “Governor Mike” from his izfluence with the Executive and as “king of the Trenton lobby” from his success in passing Dills intrusied to his charge, was stricken with paralysis, and was conveyed to his home, in Greenville, Jersey City. Ho lingered till ‘Thursday, when he passed away at the age of sixty-seven. With the single exception of Harry Hill no man of a similar type of character was more widely known in the sporting fraternity. He possessed such a remarkable foree of character that in influencing legisiation in New Jersey he frequently disarmed hostility by Lis large-hearted disposition, which more than conipen- sated for lis brusque manner and lack of education. ‘There is not # county in Now Jersey in which the announcement of the death of “Governor Mike Smith” will not be read with regret. His warm: hearted and genial disposition endesred him toa large cirele of friends, The funeral will take place to- morrow afternoon, PROFESSOR BENNET WOODCROFT, F. R. 8.

Legation oF Unirep STATES AT CENTRAL AMERICA, GuATEMALA, Dee, 28, 1873, Hon. W. M. Evanrrs, Secretary of State: Srm—lI have the honor to tender the resiguation of my commission as Minister Resident of the United States accredited to the several Central American States, to take effect on the lst day of February, 1879, To the utmost of my limited ability I have tried to discharge with fidelity and energy the duties of the office with which I was honored by President Grant, but, after the most grave consideration, the conviction bas been forced upon me that my views of the proper policy to be adopted and firmly executed by our government for the purpose of re- establishing our national influence in this quarter, as well as for the better protection of the persons, ae perty and rights of citizens of the United States in these States, and tor the promotion of closer and. more mutually beneficial commercial relations with: them, are so opposed to those upon which the de- partment appears to me to act that in justice to our government it is proper for me to give place tos successor. Without being conscious of the slightest personal chagrin I am willing to admit that my decixion to resign at this time has been facilitated - the failure of the department to notice the request made in my No, 787, dated October 25, 1878, for copies of the whole correspondence with Mr. A, E. Hollenbeck special agent for the Nicaraguan government, and lias been in a great measure caused by the publica- tion by that government of your note to Mr. Hollen- beck dated July 9, 1878, As lo} as that note re- mained unpublished it appeared to me only as a humiliating manifestation of a mistaken policy gen- erally aud us to the particular subject to which it relates. Its publication by the government of Nicar- agua without rebuke or rejoinder is calculated not only to destroy my influence in this quarter, but to expose me as the diplomatic representative of the United States to more serious discourtesies hereafter. It is my present purpose to remain several months in Central America, and I shall be glad to render any ossible assistance to my successor. I shall con- nue to discharge my official duties up to the Ist of February. beg to assure you, Mr. Seward and Mr. Hunter, of my highest respect and regard, and to expreas my grateful appreciation of the many kindnesses of which I have been the recipient from yourself, your assistants and other officials of the department. Be good enough to cause all letters for me to be sent to the care of Messrs. Adolphe Low & Co., No. 42 Cedar street, New York. T have the honor to be, sir, your obedient servant, ORGE WILLIAMS REPUBLICAN JEALOUSIES. The regular primary meetings of the republican party were held in the various Assembly districts in this city on the 10th of December, last; but in the Fifteenth district the proceed. ings were so riotous and irregular that the Central Committee ordered another election to be held under the supervision of properly appointed officers, and that election took place last evening at the headquarters of the District Association in West ‘Yhirty-fitth street. Messrs. Jonn D. Lawson and Joel W. Mason were appointed supervisors by the Central Committee, and they attended to their duties with commendable fortitude and philosophy amid a tumultuous scene of confusion. There were two tickets in the field, one headed by Sheridan Shook for President of the association, and the other by Henry G. Leask. It was a fight{betweon the Blisa and Biglin wings of the republican | cospyd ia the district. There were challe: lor each side, and the manner in whic! they car. ried’ out their purposes kept up s continual fire along the whole line during the entire evening. At one time there was a wrangle between the in- spectors and supervisors; at another, between the inspectors and challengers, during ‘which such epithets as ‘Your @ liar,” and others equally courteous, were freely bandied, The premises have a bloody record, and perhaps there would have been some serious if not fatal disturbance if it had not been for the presence of Captain Washburne and a squad of some thirty policeman from the Twentieth precinct, A number of — distinguished states- men from other parts ot the city were on hand, @ protracted strug- gle, which lasted until after midnight, the following ticket was declared to bo elected by a vote of 108 out of 198 votes cast:— President, Sheridan Saook; First Vice Presi- dent, John Mcrrison; Second Vice resident, August Urban; ‘Treasurer, Williain Rynhart; Sceretary, Berrien Keyser, Inspector of Election, Jacob Powles and Jolin G. Collins; Doorkeeper, John McLaughlin; Delegates to the’ Central Com: mitteo, Sheridan Shook, William 8. Murray, A. V. Cantield, Nathan Lewis, Adam Rohe, M. L. Hollister, James Turner, Freewan J. Fithian, William M. Montgomery, J. M. Deuel, E. A. Dillenbeck, Robert Montgomery, Moses Goodkind, John M. Fisher and Charles 8, Smith. ELECTION INSPECTORS INDICTED. Before separating for the February term the Grand Jury presented the indictments ordered against ‘Thomas Boland, Washington E. Hall, Muichaeh Murphy and Cornelius Foley, inspectors of election in the Eleventh clection district of the Eighth As- sembly district. The origin of the complaint arose ont of the contest last November between Alderman George Hall and Jacob A, Hatzell. It is alleged by the latter that the inspectors, in order to defeat him and secure the election of Hall, made’ false returns of the votes cast. On the evidence submitted the Grand Jury found three indictments tor misde- meanor and felony for violation of the clection laws agaiust the accused, who will be arraigued before Judge Gildersleeve on Monlay next. WANTED IN PENNSYLVANIA, J. 8. Webb, a constable of Franklin township, Car- bon county, Pa., yesterday waited upon Chief of Po- lice Nathan, of Jersey City, with a letter from Dis- trict Attorney Scivers, of Carbon county, stating that Henry aud Alfred Seigtried, two brothers, residing in Jersey City, had been indicted by the Carbon County Grand Jury for burglary and felonious as- sault, and requesting the Chief to arrest them. Con- stable Webb further informed the Chief that on the night of September 3, 1878, the Seigfrieds entered the residence of Henry Schenkol, aged sev. enty, in Franklin county, and beat the old man {in 4 pitiful manner, after which they departet, taking with them $60 in money, several watches and some jewelry. Chief Nathan detailed Oficers Bowe and Nugent to accompany the constable in his search for the accused, ‘Thegotiicers found Henry Setgtried on & caual boat, near the Pennsylvania Rail dock, and took him into custody. Alfred could not be found, Henry, while in police headquarters, sig- nified his willingness to go to Pennsylvania without ® requisition, and he will be taken back to-day.
