Columbus has already given about twenty-
five hundred dollars to the fever sufferers,
and, not satisfied with that, steps are being
taken to raise more.
Rowdyism is rampant in the suburbs of
Columbus. On Thursday night certain par
ties, desiring to have what they call fun,
removed from their hinges every gate in Wyn
ton, and carried them some hundreds of
yards away. The Times very correctly thinks
that a few months on the chain gang or in
jail experienced by but one of these fun
lovers would be a lesson so wholesome in
its nature as to prevent all such disorders in
future.
The Bainbridge Democrat greatly regrets
that the “firemanic” spirit is dying out
among the citizens of that place.
Nickel boxes for the benefit of the fever
sufferers are being put up in many of the
interior towns of the State.
There is quite a competition among the
farmers of Brooks county in regard to the
wages paid to cotton pickers.
We see it stated that 3,079 petitions In

the eleven years of the existence of the

The Atlanta police do not serve sanitary

“Two negro boys,” says the Sandersville
Herald, “Gus and Lee Walker, brothers, one
aged about thirteen and thq. other eleven,
were found on the railroad track near Oco
nee a few mornings ago, they having been
run over by the cars Tuesday night and
killed. It is supposed that they were out
hunting and had gone to sleep on the track.
The Coroner, Mr. C. W. Hammock, was
sent for to hold an inquest over their bodies.”
Mr. W. J. Brooks, of Washington county,
says he killed 13;^ feet of rattlesnakes on his

We learn from the Dublin Ibst that on
last Saturday morning, as Mrs. Eveline R.
Mellon was going up the gin-house steps
on Mr. Hughes’ Whitehead place, six miles
west of that town, when about half way up
her foot slipped and she fell forw’ard strik
ing her left side across a step, from the ef
fects of which fall she died almost in
stantly.
Three tenement houses on the north side
of Marietta caught on fire last Friday morn
ing. The alarm was given and the fire
engine was out, but, says the Journal, owing
to the fact that water could not be procured
near enough to use the engine, the build
ings were at the mercy of the flames and
were consumed. There was an insurance
on the buildings of about $450.
The Argus thinks that unless some ef
fective steps be taken to prevent the sys
tematic burglaries in Buena Vista and
Marion county nothing movable will be safe
from the hands of burglars.
On last Friday night Mr. Morris Fussel, an
old gentleman of Buena Vista, eighty-eight
years of age, fell from his door step to the
ground and sustained serious injuries.
From the Argus we learn that the left side
of his head struck some hard substance,
and completely tore off a piece of the scalp
to the skull bone about three inches square,
which not only disfigures him, but exposes
the skull bone to the action of the air, and
causes considerable pain. In addition to
the injuries ou the head he was hurt in one
knee, besides bodily bruises, which give
him much pain. 4P
An enterprising banker of Hawkinsville
has ordered from the United States Treas

According to the Macon Telegraph, the
killing of Mr. Jack Kimbrew by the Ennis
brothers was the main topic of conversa

Public opinion was strongly against the
perpetrators of the deed.
The name “Brindletail” is getting to be
quite generally bestowed on Independent
i candidates.
Here is what the Albany News thinks of
Independents : “It’s a hard matter for one
to decide who or what our Independent
candidate is. Is he a white-washed Demo
crat, black-washcd Republican, or mixture
of both ? Mongrel—that’s the word. Who
is there to join the mongrel party ?**
We clip the following from the Columbus
Enquirer: “W. J. Mathis, living in Chatta
hoochee county, near Pineviljp, has been
missing cotton, and Tuesday night he and
one of his neighbors set to watch. Early in
the night they discovered, a man approach
ing. They waited until he had got a basket
of cotton and was making off with it, when
on halting and arresting him, found it to be
John O’Pry. They carried him to Cusseta,
and on a preliminary trial before Magistrate
D. J. Fussell he was fined $35 and costs, and
ordered his release. This must be a new
power a-^sumed by the magistrate. We
have never heard of a magistrate imposing
a fine for a criminal offense, or any other,
except for contempt.
The Dublin H>.st mentions Ijio following,
which it characterizes as “an unparalleled
outrage:” “On last Friday night seven
masked men rode up to the house of Mr.
Willard Gray, living two miles east of town,
and hailed. As he stepped out on the porch
they fired several shots at him and riddled
the house with bullets. A rifle bail and four
small shot struck the old man in the Jeg,
and one or two small shot struck one of bis
grandchildren, who was inside the house,
iu the back. There is no clue to the perpe
trators of this shameless horror. But this
matter should be looked into and the vil
lains should every one be made to pull
hemp. Mr. Gray is a harmless old u*ac of
about seventy year* of age.”
Buena Vista Argos: "Mr. Lewis Webb, in
our town, is strangely affected. For several
years he appeared paralyzed in his feet and
legs. For several years he went on
crutches, but for the last eight has been
walking with a stick. He says he could
drive a knife through his foot and not feel
it; that when be strikes his foot against any
object he know& it just as he knows when
he strikes a 6tick against a substance, by
the resistance offered only, and not by feel
ing. He frequently blisters hU feet in
walking but kuows nothing of it until the
blisters burst. He bathes his feet
often—sometimes in cold, sometimes
in hot water. He cannot tell by the feeling
in the foot whether the water is hot or cold.
Thus he has lived for eight years, some
times walking about and often in bed. N ow,
the strange part of the story is that when £
cat touches his foot he instantly feels it.
The touch of a cat against his foot, whether
bare or with socks on, sends instantly
prickly sensations all through his foot. He
*nay be blindfolded, but can instantly tell
the touch of a cat, however 6light e whether
ffay or night, expecting or not expecting
the touch.”
Hawkinsville Dispatch: “Jeff Johnson,
the colored boy who fired the shot that en
tered the residence of Mr. George P. Woods
<jn the night of the 4th ult., was arraigned
before County Judge H. H. Whitfield on
Thursday of last week. According to the
prisoner’s own admission, the only evidence
hi the case, that he was shooting at a dog,
it was evident that he could not be convicted
for intentional or malicious shooting, and
C’aptain J. II. Martin, the prosecuting at
torney, decided to bring suit against Jeff
for carrying concealed weapons. After a
hearing of the case and a plea of guilty
from the prisoner, Judge Whitfield sentenced
him to serve a term of six months in the
chain-gang, or pay a fine of twenty-five dol
lars and costs, amounting in all to about
thirty-two dollars and a half. Jeff suc-

Hartwell Sun: “The corn crop is now
made, and is a full average crop. The cot
ton prospect is splendid. A large amount
of sorghum is about ripe for the mill. There
is scarcely a farmer in the county who has
not a nice tobacco patch. There are more
hogs, and better ones than were ever known
in the county. Peas, potatoes and turnips
can’t be beat. Our thrifty farmers are now
sowing oats extensively. What excuse peo
ple can have this fall for not paying their
debts we cannot conceive.”
Eastman Times.* “Seymour is a colored
minister of this place, and says he has

the civilized world. He says ‘thar’s none in

Macon Telegraph and Messenger: “Sev
eral of the creeks on the Macon and Bruns
wick Railroad have been behaving badly in
the past two or three days, and some of the
trestles of the road have been washed away.
The Pinholloway creek, which the road
crosses near No. 3>£, has washed away an
old timber abutment of the bridge at that
place. The trains failed to come in yester
day, either morning or evening. Besides
these there have been a good many minor
washes between No. 3}4 and No. 2. Below
that point the track i6 all right. By to
night the track and everything will be re
paired, and trains will run as usual. The
damage is in no way serious, and will soon
be repaired.”

llEWARE OF BREAKERS.
Rev. (?) D. M. Breaker, M. D. (D. D.),
seems to have Beecherized his country
church clerk ani two deacons, and now
comes forward with a certificate from them
of “honorable acquittal,” and talks about
“attacks upon his character” as a minister
of the Gospel.
This is “too thin.” When such clear
headed men as Hon. John H. James and
Rev. D. E. Butler thoroughly investigate a
matter it is safe to take their verdict. They
acted as a council in this Breaker case, and
decided unhesitatingly and unequivocally
that the accused was guilty. Shielding
himself behind a church of half a dozen
members, the majority under his control,
Breaks r now changes front and proposes to
“hold the fort” in real Beecher style.

Ebenezer Sunday School Anniversary.
Effingham County, Ga., September 8.—
Editor Morning News: The historic grounds
of old Ebenezer were rendered most pleas
ant and interesting on the 38th ult. by the
celebrating of a grand Sunday school anni
versary.
At an early hour in the morning there
were seen coming from every quarter wa
gons, carts, buggies and phastons, occupied
chiefly by Salzburgers, or their descendants,
who deem it no little pleasure to assemble
a - the church of their fathers to consecrate
their all to the cause for which their ances
tral homes were sacrificed.
Shortly after the people had congregated
the silvery like tones of the bell began, as
in days long past, to echo from out its an
cient spire, and a general movement was
made towards the church. Here the
scene was made more pleasant by the de
livering of a very appropriate address by 7
the Rev. Mr. Hawkins, of Columbia, S. C.
Rev. Mr. H. is a fine declaimer, and the old
historic walls seemed to resound with that
eloquent with which they did in days of
yore.
After the servicea In tue church were con
cluded, the people all repaired to a spacious
grove where there had been a table erected,
on which were spread all that the appetites
of hungry men demand. Having enjoyed
this rich 'repast, every one spent his time in
the manner most desirable.
Groups of the old and the young were
found iu every conceivable' place, en
sconced by the sombre shades of the huge
cedars, enjoying pleasant converse.
After indulging in refreshments of almost
every nature the iargp concourse, warned
by the fast receding sun, were seen, in a
manner similar to that of the worm, mak
ing their way homeward. Filled with emo
tions of joy and radiant with buoyant hopes,
these good people repaired to their homes,
to return again on Sunday to a meeting of a
different nature. Dutch.
Cheaper Money.—Commenting on
the article from the Cincinnati Enquirer,
which we print in another column, the
Nashville American says: “Our com
temporary might have made its argument
stronger by showing that money in bank
vaults and money in circulation are two
very different things. Porhaps Mr. Gar-
tielS would say tliat if there is money in
the bank vaults it ip pyjdence Ahat it is
not needed for circulation. $X)t so. It
is evidence that the bank’s terms of loan
ing are such that borrowers cannot use
it profitably in legitimate enterprises.
Under the banking system those
whose wealth consists in Jnndscan derive
no benefit from tbeir capital in Lacking
circles. They cannot use real estate as a
collateral. Nor can they borrow money
on time long enough to look to agricul
tural retut up for payment, nor will agri
culture warrant iho payment of such a
rate of interest as is dematTcjed by na
tional banks. We need more money, but
we first need cheaper money. aIhs cai J

banking.”
Rev. Mr. Bartol, of Boston, tells from
experience how it feels to be struck by
lightning. “It gives no time for fear, or
even surprise, and the self-loss does not
appreciably last. If the blow be not
fatal the restoration may be so quick
that in less than a minute's time horses,
and cows, and pigs, and men, escaping
or delivered, all swarm together, under
the flash and tempest, on the green
sward. A- resistless weight, streaming
and crowding through the frame, is the
consciousness I chiefly remember. The
experience was, moreover, a single
moment in wonder-land. A wakeful
night and a week’s headache were the
result.”
In New Mexico the followieg method
of catching ants is both popular and ef
ficacious. A'few large champagne bot
tles are buried in the ground near the
entrance to the nest till their tops are
just flush with the ground. Every ant
going from or coming to the colony will
at once walk up, peep over, and then
drop in. When he gets to the bottom
he finds himself ip the middle of a free
fight, in which legs and antennae are
chewed off with alarming recklessness.
Two or three days suffice to accumulate
half a dozen quarts of ants, and com
pletely exterminate the colony. Gun
powder, coal oil and boiling water are
not half as sure.

continent, upon only one point of the finan
cial question. He proceeded to point out
the dangers of legislative meddling with the
money of the country, now that we are on a
basis of honjest money. The only danger is
that our Congresses will disturb values,
shake the confidence of the people
in the stability of the currency, and delay
the already dawning era of prosperity.

Letter from Suwannee.
Columbus, Suwannee County, Fla., Sep
tember 12.—Editor Morning News : You, per
haps, have never had a letter from this place,
but if it is not intruding too much, I wish you
would give this a place in the columns of
your valuable paper. First, let me, for the
community, as well as myself, give thanks
to the News for the manner in which it sus
tains aud advocates the rights of the people
of the South.
Now I will tell you something of our lit
tle village. Columbus is one of the oldest
towns in the State, and was at onetime quite
a flourishing village, the steamers often
coming up the Suwannee to this point. But
when the railroad was put through this por
tion of the State, and other towns springing
up along the road, it soon lost its vigor and
business, till, during the late war, it was
completely deserted. Most all the houses
were burned during the war, and at this time
there are but two stores aud three dwellings
iu the place.
Columbus is situated on the east side of
the Suwannee river, just at the junction of
the Withlacoochee aud Suwannee rivers,
and is surrounded by a country that is well
adapted to the cultivation of all the crops
commou in the Southern country. There
have been fine crops of cotton and corn
made this year, but the winds and rain will
prove too much for cotton and we fear a
small yield will be obtained from vigorous
plants.
The people of Suwannee are preparing for
a rousing campaign this fall, aud the Demo
crats are 6ure of success. There is not
much opposition in this county, as the few
Republicans that are left consist entirely of
negroes, and they have none among them
smart enough for leaders. There are a few
white men in the county that neither Demo
crats or Republicans will trust, that are
trying to confuse the ignorant classes into
what they call the “Poor Man’s Ticket,”
advocating “Greenbacks,” “Labor” re
form, and in general everything that
Ben. Butler is advocating at the North.
But these men, like their bold leader in
Massachusetts, are too “spoony” to trust
around your chicken roost, much less in the
legislative halls of the country. The Demo
crats have but to hear the names of Su
wannee’s candidates called out at their
nominating convention, when their march
through the November election will be so
much more triumphant than “General Sher
man’s was to the Atlantic” that they will
lookback in amazement to see their enemy
so far from legislative honors as the Repub
licans and Greenbackers will be left. ,
More anon. Oakes.
Soul hern Claims Bugaboo.
The New York Herald declares that
the speech of Hon Joseph J. Davis has
knocked the bottom outof the “Southern
claims” fraud. One Radical paper swore
the South intended, in case the Demo
crats got complete control of the gov
ernment, to take $300,000,000 out of the
Federal Treasury 7 to pay Southern claims
with. Another ran the amount up to
$650,000,000. All this was done, of
course, to stir up the Northern people
to wrath against the South, and to make
them believe the object of the Democrats
was to organize a huge steal for the bene
fit of Southern rebels, and at the expense
of Northern Unionists. The Herald
says.
“Mr. Joseph J. Davis’ speech, which
the Democratic committee is now circm
lating as a campaign document, may be
depended upon to settle the business in
detail. He has taken up the ‘list’ pre
pared by a Republican Congressman of
limited capacity and truthfulness from
Indiana, and shown that by actual count
the ‘3,710 bills introduced’ of the South
ern w’ar claim variety number 631. This
is a pretty good discount off to begin
with, but Mr. Davis had the bad taste to
push his inquiries still further and found
that to make up this terrible array Mr.
Dibbrell’s 11.11 415 was repeated 54*tiroes
in the list. Mr. Atkins’ bill; H. B. 1,049,
forty nine times, and other bills from
four to twenty-nine times. This simple
process reminds one of the method em
ployed in measuring the famous Guyas-
cutus of the South African islands. That
terrible, animal was niqe feet in length
from the toot of his nose to the tip of
his tail, and nine feet back again—
being in all eighteen feet, or thrice
the height of the tallest man. In
deed, Mr. Hanna took II. B. 1,049,
which he divided into forty-nine sec
tions and counted as forty-nine claims,
and then when the bill was reported back
by Air. Caldwell put it into the list again
as a new raid upon the Treasury. Of Mr.
Hanna’s fearful list of claims onh 7 $2,-
573,028 09 wore from Confederate States.
Connecticut, New Jersey, Tennessee,
Maryland, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Ken
tucky, Illinois, Indiana—these names
bristle in the list of ‘rebel’ States. Ten
of the |‘rebel claims’ were for loyal
churches, seven of which were in loyal
States; most of them w ere the claims of
loyal Republicans; not a few were put in
by ITnion soldiers and their families.
One of the rabid rebels of Kentucky
whose raid on the Treasury Mr. Hanna
so bravely withstands, lost her hus
band and two sons in the Union army.
Another Southern claim is that of A- I*
II. Crenshaw 7 , of Missouri. He was a
licensed cattle dealer and an uncondi
tional Union man, and fifty-five mules
were stolen from him by ‘a conspiracy
organized’ by certain Kansas volunteers.
(The language is that of the report on
the claim submitted by Mr. Cobb, Rep.)
The govern incut subsequently took pos
session of the animals and became re
sponsible for them; Mr. Cobb reported
the claim favorably to the Republican
Forty-third Congress, and Mr. Eden,
bem., to its Democratic successor. At
present it is doing service a* a rebel
claim. A rebel in Michigan who wants
*62 480 for a steamboat furnishes another
item. Mr. Carlisle’s II. B. 1,030, for the
relief of Union men in Kentucky, fur
nishes matter for twenty-n ; ne rebel claims.

the oioocT witn a *eoei foy one hun
dred thousand dollars for services ren
dered to Doniphan in the Santa Fe expe
dition, thirteen years before Sumter w r as
fired on. Mr. Dibbrell’s fifty-four rebel
claims are of the secession epoch, but the
claimants wore the blue. One of these
malignant rebels is now 7 eighty years old;
old as he was in 1861 he was not too old
to serve as a Captain in the Union army,
and to pilot on foot more than five hun
dred Union refugees from Tennessee over
the mountains into Kentucky, there to
enlist under the Stars and Stripes. Verily,
he has his reward; he is denounced
throughout the land as a traitor and a
rebel claimant.

sort of a disclosure that pur Republican

THE BEHEADING OF HOEDEL.
A Barbarous Execution of a Barbar
ous Criminal—Tbe mediaeval mode
of Puuisliment which Germany
Uses for State Offenses.
Special Correspondence New Tork W'orld.
Berlin, August 20.—Hoedel’s exccu
tion was something quite out of the com
mon, even for Berliners. Not since Feb
ruary, 1865, when Louis Grothe, a young
man who, with his mistress and his
mother, had hacked in pieces and thrown
into the river a French teacher named
Gregy, was executed, had the axe fallen
on a guilty wretch’s neck—at the capital,
that is, for there were a few executions
in the provinces.
The old Emperor’s invariable practice
was to commute the sentence when a
death-warrant was handed to him, and
he would have spared Hoedel’s life had
not the Crown Prince and Prince von
Bismarck pressed him to remember that
clemency here might encourage Socialist
assassins elsewhere as well as in Ger
many.
It was on the afternoon of Thursday
that Hoedel, who occupied a cell in the
city prison, was informed that the law
was to take its course. He bit his lips
and turned deadly pale; then muttered - have not the means to study out the mat
to a keeper who stood by lum, They re ter f or themselves are entitled to fairer
only trying to frighten me. .Not so,
said the keeper, “that’s really your death
sentence.”
He asked to he allowed to write an ap
peal for mercy, but was told that it was
too late; then he asked that he might be
executed on the Kreuzberg, a well known
hill in the suburbs, associated with the
revolutionary proceedings of 1818. He
was told that he might order for his com
fort whatever he pleased, but he declined
to avail himself of the privilege of the
“the headsman’s banquet,” as it is called,
though (for the first time since his incar
ceration) he asked for cigars; subsequent
ly he took a bottle of wine and some beer.
At 6:30 p. m. the condemned man was
removed in a prison van to the peniten
tiary at Jloabit, in the northwestern su
burbs, and lodged in a strong cell. The
Lutheran chaplain, Dr. Heinickes, ac
companied and passed most of the night
chatiing with him. Chatting is the
proper word, for whenever the pastor at
tempted to turn the Conversation towards
relicious subjects Hoedel interrupted him
rudely.
The condemned man spoke very freely
while smoking. “Had 1 been placed un
der other circumstances,” he said,
might perhaps not have come to this;
brought up differently I might have been
auother man.” Then he added; “I
must play out my part to the end as I
began it.” Towards morning he fell
asleep, and was sleeping soundly when,
at 5:30, he was awakened—to die.
Hardly was he prepared for the scaf
fold than he thrust his cigar into his
mouth. “You are free to do so if you
wish,” said the clergyman, “but I would
rather you did not take that cigar
with you.” “Very well, I won’t, then
said Hoedel, “if it’s any pleasure to
you.
The scaffold was erected in the prison
yard, where about fifty persons, magis
trates and lawyers, municipal officials,
military officials and members of the
police ” force, besides some reporters,
were gathered. The prisoner, conducted
by three wardens, walked with a firm
step to the foot of the scaffold and stared
impudently around at the assembly.
Councillor Hoilmann, who was
charged with superintending the execu-
i ion, took his place at a table and read
loudly the sentence of death and death
warrant. At the conclusion Hoedel spat
upon the ground and cried, “Bravo.”
The magistrate now turned to a tall,
stiongly built man, about thirty or
thirty five years of age, handsome, with
a small moustache, and neatly, indeed
elegantly, attired in a fine linen shirt,
with waistcoat and trousers of black
broadcloth. This was Herr Krantz, the
executioner.
The old headsman, AY. Reindel. who
had grown rich through the exercise of
his minor function of dog catcher to the
city, was rot longer equal to the serious
labor of striking off a man’s head at a
blow, and so passed over his ixe—or
rather a duplicate of his axe—to the
younger man. No such implement hav
ing been needed for more than a decade,
the Department of Justice found itself
compelled to resort to the Market Mu
seum-
An axe had been ordered a year ago
by the director of the museum, an exact
duplicate of that Reindel had employed,
ind which the museum was unable to
secure, owing to the fancy price the old
headsman placed upon his weapon.
This axe was borrowed, Herr Grossmann,
the cutler, of whom one had been or
dered, being unable Iq get one ready in
time j it is a large weapon, a good deal
like a butcher’s cleaver in appearance,
with a very keen, straight edge. It was
ground to the sharpness of a razor the
afternoon before the execution.
Holding up the warrant that the
headsman might see the Crown Prince’s
signature, Councillor Hollman said to
him;
“Note this document, and now receive
from me the tinsmith, Emil Heinrich
Max Hoedel, delivered to you to be be
headed.”
‘Come this way.” said the headsman
to Hoedel, who ran lightly up the three
steps leading to the platform and threw
off his coat and waistcoat. At this mo
ment the chapel bell began tolling; he
azed in its direction, then looked
around upon those present with an
ironical SDeer. Throwing down his
braces, Hoedel began to unbutton his
shirt, hut could not unfasten one of the
buttons. One of the wardens went to
his assistance and turned it down beneath
his shoulders, leaving the neck and the
upper part of the breast bare.
Meanwhile two other keepers had tied
the condemned man’s arms and ankles.
They then carried him, pinioned and
helpless, to the block, wdiich was of
stout hard wppd,witn a bollbw to receive
the neck, and painted blood-red. Lay
ing him on it face downwards, a strong
leathern band was fastened over the back
of the head so that it could not he moved,
and a clearly-defined mark was offered
for the headsman’s blow.
Opening a leathern case, ou which
were in gold the figures “1878,” Krantz
took out the glittering nerv axe, and,
taking his aim, with an almost imper
ceptible glance swung the weapon aloft
and brought it hissing down on the band
of flesh between the leathern fastening
and the turned-back shirt! Only one
blow was needed. The blood sprang out
of the immense wound; the neck
vanished (so it seemed), and there was
left the trunk, which twitched spasmodi
cally a few times, and the head, which
looked as if it had been shorn off just at
the chin.
A very slight contraction or movement
of the skin of the forehead was noticea
ble. The whole' operation lasted about
two minutes and a half. A coffin was
brought out, into which the still bleeding
remains were pitched, it was placed in a
hole already dug in a corner qf the pri
son yard, the earth was filled in, and all
was over.
The axe with which Hoedel was be
headed has been replaced in the museum
in its old place, above the block on which
the head of the Burgomaster Tschech
(executed about thirty years ago for an
attempt upon the life of Frederick Wil
liam IV. i was struck oil, ana beneath the
thong with which his head was fastened
to the block. An inscription has been
placed beside it, as follows:
“May 11, 1878, Hoedel, journeyman
tinsmith, fired, Enter den Linden, a re
volver at H. M., William, Emperor of
Germany and King of Prussia; Jaiylo
Hoede! wat condemned to death by the
Court of Appeals at Berlin; this judg
ment was confirmed by Imperial decree
August 8, and August 16 Hoedel’s head
was struck off with this axe by the
headsman, Krantz, in the yard of the
cellular prison of Moabit.”
Before the
Was There Contraction
Panic!
Cincinnati Enquirer.
Gen. Garfield states the contraction
problem in this way:
“I ask every man who believes in this
allegation to wrestle with the following
facts: In 1860, a year of peace and at
least of fair prosperity, a year of Demo
cratic rule, this country had $207,000,000
of paper currency. Up to that time
$215,000,000 was the largest amount of
paper currency ever in circulation at any
one time in this country. Banking was
free in most of the States, and hankers
were issuing all the currency they could
keep iu circulation. No one then claim
ed that there was an insufficient volume
of currency, and I doubt whether any
reasonable man will now claim that the
curreucy of 1860 was insufficient in
amount. Now, in the month of June,
1873, just before the great panic struck
us, our outstanding paper currency was
$750,000,000, or more than three limes
the amount in 1860. In the face of this
fact, will any man of intelligence say
that the panic of 1873 was caused by an
insufficient volume of paper currency?”
That is not an honest presentation of
the case, and nobody knows that better
than Gen. Garfield. The people, who
Very many loathsome diseases are due
the presence ct scrofulous poison in the
blood. It is the part 'of prudence to re
move in good time this prolific cause of such
sickness by the prompt use of Dr. Bull’s
Blood Mixture. it '
ter for themselves are entitled to fairer
treatment. They should be told the
truth, and as clearly as possible. That
Gen. Garfield has not done. The more
to his discredit
General Garfield compares the paper
circulation of 1860 with the paper circu
lation of 1873. Why the paper circula
tion, leaving out the coin? To deceive!
He knew it was a deception. The coin
circulation of 1860 exceeded the paper
circulation at that period; whereas, in
1873, there was no coin circulation at all.
For some years prior to 1860 the coin
circulation had been gradually’ increas
ing, owing to the unstable and unreli
able character of the paper money based
on and redeemable in specie. It is esti
mated that Ihe amount of gold and silver
coin in the country in 1860 was $275,-
000,000. The bank paper circulation at
the same time, according to the Treasury-
Department. amounted to $207,000,000.
making together a total circulation of
$482,000,000. Of that the banks held as
a reserve in coin $S4,000,000. That left
for actual circulation among the people
$398,000,000. The population of the
eouutry at that time was .31,4-43,321. So
the actual circulation among the people
for all business purposes was $12 65 per
capita.
According to a recent statement from
the Treasury Department, the circulation
June 30, 1873, amounted to $750,000,000.
The banks held as lawful money reserves,
excluding specie, $206,000,000. That
left for actual circulation among the peo
ple $544,000,000. The population at that
time amounted to 43,000,000. So. the
actual circulation among the people was
$13 per capita.
That being the true state of the
case, the reader can see why Gen. Gar
field, in comparing the circulation of
1860 with that of 1873, gave only the
paper and not the paper and coin circu
lation of 1860, as that only made an ac
tual circulation among the people of
$6 58 per capita, instead of $12 65, what
it really was.
But why did General Garfield compare
the circulation of 1860, and not that of
1865, with the circulation of 1873? Sim
ply because that would have made the
contraction horse appear of an entirely
different color from what the General
wanted his audience to see it. It wouid
have made it very dark instead of very
light. The business of the country iii
1865 was not based on the limited circu
lation of 1860. According to one Repub
lican authority that basis was §983,318,-
685; according to another Republican au
thority, it was $1,125,877,034, making
in the first case a contraction between
1863? to which the business of the
country had adjusted itself, and 1873,
of $233,318,685, and in the second
case, a contraction of $375,887,134.
Democratic estimates make the con
traction much greater than these Repub
lican figures, some of them $750,000,000,
aud others as high as $1,000,000,000.
The Republican figures are sufficient,
however, to show why General Garfield
chose 1860, and. not 1865, to show
there had been no contraction of the cur
rency previous to 1873, and that, there
fore, the panic of that year could not be
justly chargeable to a contraction of the
volume of the currency. Gen. Garfield
must try some other dodge than that to
avoid the facts presented to show that
there was a ruinous contraction of the
currency between 1865 and 1873.
The career of David Lazerette, who
proclaimed himself the “new Christ,”
was cut short in Italy. He had been
gathering followers anti making prose
lytes on the summit of Monte Labro,
Western Tuscany. He was called “Da
vid, the Saint,” or “the prophet,” and
had twelve apostles and believers of oth
er grades. Having gained a following of
about three thousand, he thought it time
to make a descent upon the princes and
potentates of Europe, who, he said,
would readily be converted to his views
and acknowledge his claims. So the
army of fanatics left the fastness of Monte
Labro and marched with St. David at
their head, chanting the tidings of the
new deliverance. The refrain of their
song was, “Long live God, the Christian
republic, and praise be to Christ, come a
second time on earth. ” David was dress
ed in a red tunic, had a crown on his
head and an iron-studded club in his
hand. At the first village the authorities
came out and ordered the three thousand
to disperse. David replied: “I am the
king," and his followers attacked the
citizens. In the scrimmage David was
shot in the middle of the forehead and
fell dead. After this his apostles scam
pered and the mission was given up.

The Fever Scourge in a Financial
Point of View.
New Orleans Picayune, 8th.
If we take the total cases of yellow
fever as representing the extra burden
which our people have to bear on the
score of sickness, our friends abroad
may have some data from which to judge
of the amount of distress iu New Or
leans at this time aud of the probable
increase during the next forty days. The
total number of cases of fever reported
here was, at 12 m. yesterday, five thou
sand two hundred and eleven. I f the
average expense of each ease is put at
the low estimate of one hundred dollars,
the grand total will be more than five
hundred thousand dollars. The burials
of those who have fallen number one
thousand six hundred and thirty-
eight up to the same date,
the average expense of each burial
having been not less titan $100, or a
total of more than $160,000. In all
probability the number of cases and the
number of deaths between this time and
frost will be less than the number al
ready recorded, but if the new cases for
the balance of the season should he no
more than 3,500, and the total deaths to
he recorded should be no more than 700,
the additional expense on fever account
wili not he less than $420,000. By this
estimate the epidemic will luwe cost our
citizens $1,080,000.
This new, extraordinary and costly
trouble comes to people who have be
come, by the effects of war and hard
times, very poor. Without this visita
tion there would have been many thou
sands of cases of distress, and quite
enough to tax the resources of the le3s
unfortunate. The cup of trouble would
have been brim full without the epidem
ic ; with that it overflows.
Wc have estimated only the money
cost of the fever. We can only ap
proximate the amount which would be
required to subsist the thousands who
are now unemployed, and to relieve the
distress which is not connected with the
epidemicl This ordinary demand upon
public and private relief might have
been within the compass of our home
resources had there been no extraordi
nary demands, but tax would have
been a very burdensome one. The epi
demic has greatly increased, and perhaps
doubled, the distress and destitution
which would have befallen us ureter or
dinary conditions
From these facts, figures and infer
ences, intelligent and philanthropic read
ers abroad will easily understand the
situation here, and, by comparison, in
other stricken cities.

The claims of the late Pope to canoni
zation have been very assiduously urged
of late, the zeal of his admirers, in at
legst one instance, leading to an awk
ward blunder. The Roman' papers an
nounced that a dropsical patient at As
sisi, named Giovanni, had been given up
by his doctors, when the parish priest fas
tened a strip torn from a shirt that Hus
IX. had once worn around the sufferer’s
nee)?, with tne miraculous effect that
the man was almost immediately restored
to perfect health. The miracle was duly
attested and was about to be officially
recorded, when the news came a little
later that there was one error in the
original report. There was a man of
the name at the place, afflicted by the
disease and given up by the doctors;
there was a priest, and , he placed the
sacred relic, as described, around the
sufferer's neck. So far the two versions
agreed; but the later one asserted that
immediately afterwards, on the 12th of
August, the man died, and the papers
proved that he was buried.
