.ABOUT THE COXVICTS—TIIE APItlCATtOX RE*
FUSED.
Attorney-General Anderson submitted
an opinion to the Governor to-day upon
the recent application niado by
E nitentiary companies two and
reo to take away tiie convicts now
being worked by tiie Marietta and Nortli
•Georgia railroad. The Attorney-General
says: "Tiie applicants ask that tliesa con
victs be delivered to them under thefFcon
tract with the State—
"1. Because the railroad company
has given no bond except for the
convicts received prior to September, 1878,
and that tiie State has no security for con
victs delivered since.
2. Tiie railroad company was entitled to
only 230 convicts a year for threa years,
ana has had largely more than that
number tor a longer period. And
should the application (or all be denied,
that the Governor cause all received since
September, 1883, to be turned over, claim
ing that the delivery of these to the rail-
road was only tor virtue of the resolution
of the last Legislature, which the Supreme
Court has declared unconstitutional.
A. If the application Ior convicts be dis
allowed fn torn the penenitentlary com
panies ask that the Governor suspend pro
Unto the collection of hire under their
contract with the State, until the contro
versy between them and the railroad now
pending in tho courts bo terminated.
After a full argument of these proposi
tions the Attorney-General advises against
the application, on Uie ground that the
railroad has complied with the law, liaa
folly executed the bond required for con-
victa received before and since last Octo
ber, tnd that the question whether
It has received all the oonrlcts
■ U is entitled to is, as the 8upreme Court
iquestion of fact, tube
announced, witli the votes which would
have been cast by the Senators named, had
they voted: Beck (aye) with Hale (no);
Cameron, of Wisconsin, (aye) with George
(no); Miller, of New York, (no) with Cam-
don (aye); Plumb (no) with Vest (aye);
Sawyer (no) with Kenna (aye).
Tue preamble to the bill, as passed, re
cites that a board of officers, convened by
the President to examine and report upon
the case of Porter, stated that justice re
quired the President to annul the findings
and sentence of the court-martial in Por
ter’s case, and to restore him to the position
of which the sentence deprived him, such
restoration to take effect from the date of
nis dismissal (rom the service; that the
President bad remitted so much of the
sentence os disqualified Porter from hold
ing office, and that ill order to do justice to
Porter it was enacted, etc.
The bill then authorises the President,
by and with the advice and consent of the
Senate, to appoint Porter to the position
of colonel in the same grade and rank held
by him at the time of his dismissal, and
authorises the President, in his discretion,
to piece Porter on the retired list as of that
grade. Porter, however, to receive no com-
pensation or allowance prior to his appoint
ment under the act. Adjourned.

Kansas City, March 15.—Several sur
geons, representing Important cattle inter
ests both East and West, have arrived
here. They all pronounce the disease to
be genuine epizootic, but express surprise
at its being so slightly contagious,
climate ol Kansas and all other circum
stances are so decidedly unfavorable to the
development of the disease that all are
confident that it can be easily and wholly
abated by the destruction of infected herds
and the disinfection of the premises, i
it is only a question of a few dollars, no
alarm has been felt since the call fer spec
ial legislative action. In two weeks there
will not be a case in ail the land.
ErrixaHAM, III, March 15.—Simon
Beattie, an expert, made the following
statement totday: “The report that the
foot and mouth disease is prevalent in
Effingham anil adjoining counties, proves
upon investigation to be without founda
tion. I visited the largest herd in the
county to-day said to lie affected with
the foot and mouth disease. I found that
the cattle had the foot rot, bat there
was not the slightest indication
of foot and mouth disease. The herd
consists of fifty-one cattle, part of which
have been affected with foul foot since
aliout January 1, not being properly cared
for. Tiie disease has increased, and some
of the cattle have lost their hoofs. The
disease is confined to calves and the
younger portion of the herd. The
old cattle and sheen in the same
pasture show no signs of the disease what-
erer. Of the fourteen head now suffering,
no: one shows the slightest indication of
diseased month, and all have ravenous
appetites, indicating poor feeding. From
thirty years’ experience in foot
and mouth disease, having seen
hundreds of cases, and from
careful examination ot these coses, I am
certain that these cattle are uot affected
with the foot and mouth disease. From
information gathered here in regard to
other coses reported in this and adjoining
counties, 1 am convinced they are similar.

sued in refusing to transmit the Lasker

of the American Congress, but lie

which the Reichstag has descussed it and
for the charge of interference made by

to tho castle, carrying under hi, arm a
mysterious looking iiarcel, and from
his manner it was inferred that he was
either laboring under very great ex

was speedily taken charge of by tiie
police, and removed to that jiart of tho
castle in which they are quartered, and
on being interrogated by the officer in

Mr. Gladstone. He would present it
personally, no matter what the cost.
Tiie njan was kindly treated by the
officer, and after lie had somewhat
gained his composure a message was
sent to Mr. Gladstone, who came out
of the castle and received his admirer
on tiie lawn, where lie was present.-d
with the axe, much to tho satisfaction
of the man, who afterwards walked to
Chester and returned to Birmingham
the same evening.
