TAPPIM. THE WIRES.
The late storm played havoc with the
shipping along the Middle and North At
lantic coast. The steamer Express, from
Baltimore for Washington, was lost, ana
all the crew and passengers, with the
exception of nine persons, were lost.
Scenes at the wreck are described as having
beeu horrible in the extreme. The steamei
Massachusetts is ashore at Drum Point,
Maryland, and near her the steamer Ide anu
twenty-three schooners are also ashore.
Several other steamers in the same locality
are repoi ted as disabled. The ship A. G.
Davis, loaded with guano, from Callao ant.
bound lor Hampton Roads and Norfolk, ran
ashore at two a. m. of the 23d near Cape-
Henry. The vessel and cargo is a total lose,
and the crew of nineteen men, with only
one exception, were lost.
The storm passed over Philadelphia with
unpreceuented fury, the wind reaching i>
velociiy of seventy-two miles an houi.
Much damage was done to buildings am.
the public squares, aud over forty churche.-
were more or less injured. The P., W. am
B. R. K. sheds were injured to between
$40,000 and $50,000, and the large depot l
the road at Washington avenue wharf i-
reduced to ruins. Much other damage in
the city aud numerous disasters to shipping
are also reported. Damages are also re
ported from Harrisburg and Wiikesbarre.

holders of the City of Glasgow Bank, it
also states that it has beeu discovered, since
the report of the examiners into the condi

the extent of $850,000, most of which will
be lost.
The New York citizens relief committee
for the yellow fever sufferers have decided
to close their office on Saturday next.
Mr. Hayes and party are now at Cumber
land, Maryland. He made a speech at the
fair grounds yesterday on national ques
tions, and was followed by Secretary Sher
man on finance. The latter spoke hope
fully of the future of trade and business.
Cardinal Paul Cullen, Archbishop of
Dublin, is dead.
Destructive fires are still raging on the
prairies of Iowa, Kansas aud Nebraska.
Grain, bridges, barns, fences and other
propci ty have been destroyed, aud much
less of life is reported. It was rumored
that Albion, in Boone county, Nebraska, a
town of two hundred and fifty inhabitants,
had beeu entirely consumed. This report,
however, lacks confirmation. It is believed
these fires were lighted by the hostile
Cheyennes.
Secretary Evarts violated Mr. Hayes’ civil
service reform rules yesterday, and made a
political campaign speech at* Cooper Insti
tute, New York.
Latest and detailed reports show that the
damage done to Philadelphia by the late
storm nas as folluus: Three hundred
and eighfj-tour dwelling we re injured
or destroyed, also thirty-one churches,
twenty-three schools, thirty live facto
ries -iitu warehouses, five hotels, two
elevators aud fifty other buildimrs such as
depot -, terry boats, etc., Were seriously in
jured. S.x fatal and thirieen -erects acei-
deuts P persons were likewise reported.
Our yellow fever reports of yesterday are
as follow. : New Orleans, sixty-nine new
cas o and sixteen deaths; Baton Rouge, six
new eases, four deaths; Memphis, thirteen
interments from six p. m . Wednesday to
noon yesterday; Chattanooga, five new
cases, three colored, and two deaths, both
colored; Mobile, In the twenty-four hours
ending at noon yesterday, five 'cases, three
deaths; Holly Springs, fourteen new cases,
one death. It will be seen that the disease
has manifestly abated.
The Business Troubles in England
The present financial condition of
England is a subject of very general and
serious concern. Our dispatches state
daily that the late disastrous failure of
the City of Glasgow Bank has created
universal distrust and disorder through
out business circles. Already the list of
failures which has followed among
merchant houses and shipbuilding
firms in consequence is long, while
other houses are tottering and
more failures are regarded as sure
to follow. Trade in the manufacturing
districts also continues to be muck de
pressed, there is reported a glut of cotton
goods in Lancashire, and many of the
mills have stopped running, thus bring
ing enforced idleness to large numbers
of operatives. We also read that the
demand on the Bank of England for
discounts, caused by the failure of the
Glasgow Bank, is so great that the bank
has been forced again and again to
raise the rate, until it has reached a point
which no business in the kingdom can
stand. The result must be that the hard
-ressed houses, being unable to secure
the loans they need, will have to suc
cumb, and some persons predict that a
business crisis is approaching ia the
kingdom in comparison with which the
existing depression will prove trifling.
There are also other causes for this un
fortunate condition of affairs than the
failure of the Glasgow Bank. For several
years the imports of Great Britain have
been largely in excess of the exports, and
by this means large drains have been
made upon her capital. It is stated on
this point that the national revenues have
also fallen off. The duty on tobacco w as
increased a year ago, and the income tax
was likewise increased; but, not with
standing this, there is a prospective de
ficit of $20,000,000—and this on the eve
• if preparations for war in Afghanistan,
that will call for large expenditures. As
the St. Louis Republican says: “Great
Britain is a wealthy country—the
wealthiest on the globe; but it is to be
reniembered that it is in wealthy coun-
ries where financial storms rage most
fiercely and make the greatest destruc
tion.”
The evil effects of financial depression,
and paralvzation of business consequent
thereon, in such a commercial country
as Great Britain, must be seriously felt
everywhere, and particularly at this time
must it affect the interests of the cotton
section. The progress of affairs there
will therefore be watched with much
anxiety iu the South. Should they prove
ess serious than at present feared, or
-hould an improvement therein be
manifested at an early date, cotton will
be the first to derive benefit from the
same. On the other hand, should the
gloomy predictions regarding the future
condition of business and financial af
fairs abroad be verified, there is great
reason to fear that the present low prices
will, for some time to come, be experi
enced.
Who Wrote Captain Corker’s Letter
of Acceptance l
Ex-Governor Herschcl Y. Johnson
•ublishes a card in the Augusta Chronicle
• »f yesterday denying that he wrote Capt.
Corker’s letter accepting the nomina-
ion of the Greenback Labor party for
Congress. The Governor having received
i lei ter from a friend informing him that
it is stated with great positiveness” that
le wrote the letter, pronounces the state
ment false, and adds that he never saw
•he letter until it was in print, aud that
he “never interchanged a word with
him (Captain Corker) in relation to it,
directly or indirectly, neither by letter
nor in any manner whatsoever.” This
denial most indubitably clears the skir’s
»f ex Governor Johnson, but it does not
cttle the question of authorship. It is
-till an open question: Who wrote
Capt. Corker’s le:ter “.cheerfully” accept
ug the nomination of the Greenback
Labor party as their candidate for Con
gress aud utterly repudiating or ignoring
heir platform of principles?
Dennis Kearney has no respect for the
national bird He startled Fall River on
Saturday night with the declaration that
the great American eagle was not the
bird of freedom, but a dunghill rooster.
He ambled on from figure to trope. He
denounced the capitalists as hoary head
ed vampires and crop earc children
of the devil. He warned the working
men against wolves in sheep’s clothing
that use classic language and sling Latin.
He described the Bay State as a sink of
infamy, and casually remarked that if
the Angel Gabriel were called upon to
blow a trump that night he would have to
hold his nose first, like the man in the
moon. He even went so far as to say
that if the world could be divested of the
verbiage and foliage of political, blatant
blatherskites, there would not be enough
substance for the stomach of a child.
Gen. S. M. Barlow, a prominent New
York Republican, is quoted by the New
York Tribune as declaring that he does
not see anything in the c.plier dispatches
to change the views he has always enter
tained and expressed in respect to the
election iu Florida. He has no doubt
that Mr. Tilden “was honestly and fairly
elected in Florida, and was swindled out
of his election by the returning board.”
Gen. Barlow has no doubt also that the
returning board would have given Mr.
Tilden the electoral vote if his friends
had seen fit to pay for it. With respect
to the dispatches he thinks that no one
who knows Gov. Tilden or Mr. Marble
will doubt that they knew nothing of the
dispatches, and he believes that their de
nials will be accepted as truth without
reservation or evasion.
The Smithsonian Institution has just
received an important communication

India islands. lie has been remarkably

A striking instance of the business re
verses in Hartford, Connecticut, is the
fact that of six indorsers on a note of
$40,000, made by a well known manufac
turing concern there a few years ago,

although the bank deemed each one good
for the whole amount when the note was
made.
The laws of Russia are said to be very
oppressive to the Jews, and framed $vith
the intention of forcing them to abjure
their religion and make a profession of
that supported by the government. To
accomplish this end it is provided, among
other things, that every Jew who becomes
a convert to the Greek church whilst a
criminal charge is pending against him,
shall be declared free of guilt and exempt
from all punishment. By another pro
vision of the existing statutes a Jew who
becomes converted can many' a Christian
woman without being divorced from his
Jewish wife, if he has been previously
married. The deserted Jewish wife
must support herself and children, if she
has any, and has no right to marry again.
Can the Price of Cotton Fall Much
Lower Z
Editor Morning A eirs: Cotton at nine
cents certainly seems to be cheap
enough, or at least must seem decidedly
so to the disconsolate producer. But on
every hand we hear the prophecy that
on account of the enormous crop made
prices must inevitably decline still lower.
I will attempt, by analyzing the condi
tion of affairs, to determine whether
there are sufficient grounds for this be
lief.
The Agricultural Bureau estimate of
the crop, indorsed by the New York
Commercial and Financial Chronicle,puts
it at not less than 5,230,000 bales.
The general opinion appears to range
from this figure to 5,500,000. The
former estimate is derived from com
parison of acreage and expected out-turn
with those of previous years.
It is conceded, I believe, that the pres
ent crop is at least ten days to two weeks
in advance of last year’s. Last year, up
to November 2d, the total receipts at
ports reached, round!}’, 730,000 bales.
This year, up to October 18th, they ag
gregate 685,000 bales; but in comparing
these figures we meet with a serious dif
ficulty, namely, the retarding effect of
the epidemic on the Gulf. The com
bined receipts at Savannah, Charleston
and Galveston are just about double
what they were last year at this
time. Little if any of this cot
ton can be conceived to have
gone to New Orleans or Mobile but for
the presence of the yellow fever. The
holders, we may reasonably suppose,
would prefer to retain their crops until
frost rather than pay the increased
freight and leave their accustomed chan
nels of trade. Now, these two latter
ports had received last year about 107,000
bales, doubling which—the ratio of the
other ports—would give us 214,000 bales
as the amount they should have received,
being about 130,000 more than their com
bined actual receipts. Adding this hypo
thetical amount to the actual aggregate
of 685,000 bales we conclude that the
proper figures to compare with last year’s
total of 730,000 bales may be put at
uKnnt ftl* mill With la«t vonJri
about 815,000. With last year’s crop at
4.8' 0,000 bales this would indicate about
5,300,000 for the present one.
We may also compare this with the
season of 1876, which was about as early.
The receipts that year up to this time
were about 635.000 bales, aud the crop
nearly 4,5o0,000 bales. By making a
slight allowance for the yellow fever in
r^avaunah that year, a comparison would
give us about 5,500,000 as the present
crop. So in neither case do our results
fall below the current estimates.
Let us see if these figures can be taken
as indicating the real crop, and surmise,
if possible, the course of prices. Cotton
opened at about eleven cents. Universal
was the cry of a tremendous yield, aud
general the anticipation of lower prices
later on. And, iu point of fact, subse
quent events did seem to justify these
opinions Cotton poured into market,
and prices went lower and lower. Of
course this did not tend to diminish es
timates of the crop or raise those of
what prices were to fie later in the sea
son. The former climbed up from five
millions to five and a quarter—five and a
half millions of bales, and sometimes
more. As for prices, people said they
were going—well, away down somewhere
—say about six cents. Now, while these
wild expectations, of course, cannot
be expected to greatly influence a lon‘ r
headed and experienced operator, they
do carry a great influence in another
more important direction. Barely eking
out a scanty profit at present prices, the
planter feels no particular desire to ob
tain next to nothing for his crop, and
consequently makes no delay in hurry
ing to market his cotton as fast as it can
be prepared. The disposition to hold as
long as possible, formerly so widely
prevalent, has been yearly decreasing
(witness the greater * and greater pr£
ponderance of the early receipts over
the later) as such holding is a
rule found unprofitable. No one
will believe that planters have
been much encouraged to keep back their
crops any longer than necessary, by the
general course of opinion this season,
even though the more clear-headed fac
tors may not have recommended any fe
verish haste. This view is greatly
strengthened by such of the facts of the
case as are at our command; for instance,
the rapidity with which the cotton is
i-onvened into cash upon its arrival at a
market.
i acre can be no doubt the crop is
immense. Neither in the face of this
circumstance are w r e to look for very re
munerative prices. But still I believe
that later developments will prove the
crop to have been overestimated from the
greater incentive to early marketing, and
as soon as this is found to be the case
some appreciation of prices may be an
ticipated. The present visible supply is
over six hundred thousand bales behind
that of two years since, and also shows a
decrease from last year. The all pre
vailing effect of hard times will not tend,
as is usually argued,to diminish the con
sumption of cotton, but rather on the
contrary to increase it, if anything;
since hard times cause cotton goods to
push themselves more and more into the
domain of woolen goods, and other more
expensive fabrics. Democritus.
A case turning upon the nature of a
communication sent by postal card was
lately decided in the Supreme Court at
Rochester, New York. A young man
received a postal directed to him in the
care of his employers, which charged
him with collecting and appropriating
to his own use money due the writer of
the communication. Suit for damages
was thereupon brought against the latter,
on the ground that the postal card was
written to injure the plaintiff in the eyes
of his employers, and that Jie was
temporarily discharged on account
thereof. The defendant held that a
postal card communication was a privi
leged one; that a declaration or state
ment written upon it, not being
necessarily a publication, it was incum
bent upon the plaintiff to prove,
ct only that malicious publication
hai been made by the 'defendant, but
a’so that such publication was not
justified in fact; that according to law-
no other than the person addressed had
any right to the writing on the back of
a postal card, and that, therefore, such
communication must in its nature be a
private one. But the plaintiff won his
case and recovered damages. So
legally, as well as in fact, the opinions
on a postal card are publicly aud not
privately expressed. The practical lesson
taught is to the effect that it is not safe
to use postal cards in telling your dis
agreeable neighbors what you think of
them. Envelope and paper are more ex
pensive at the time, but may be cheaper
in the end.
If Mr. Tilden were actually in the
field as the Democratic nominee for
President he could not be assailed with
more bitterness and universality by the
Radicals. Their charges against him are
lies, nothing but lies, fabricated out of
whole cloth; and yet, says the Courier-
Journal, there are Democrats weak
enough to help the Radicals out merely
because they don’t l.ke Tilden, utterly
failing to see that the Republicans are
using them to secure an offset to Grant
and a condonation of their great fraud.
When a Republican is attacked the party
flies to the rescue. When a Democrat is
attacked, it is ten to one but half his
party will chime in with the enemy.
Under these circumstances, is it not
about time for all of us to join Blanton
Duncan’s party? If we are resolved to
be mean, why not go the whole hog, and
do it thoroughly ?
The New York Tribune refuses to ac
cept President-elect Tilden’s denial, al
though admitting that it is “clear, broad,
emphatic in terms, and meets the case
against him.” From the time it wa3
founded by Hoi ace Greeley the maxim
of the Tribune has been that a lie well
stuck to is as good as the truth.

THE ATLANTA FAIR.
The Grand Military Drill.
Fine Racing and TIuch Excitement.
Special Telegram to the Morning Neics.
Atlanta, Ga., October 24.—The St. Louis
company arrived last night. They were
met at the depot by the Gate City Guards
and the Atlanta Cadets, and were escorted

SPEECHES of the president and SECRE
TARY SHERMAN.
Cumberland, Md., October 24.—The
President and party arrived this morning
and were escorted to the fair ground by the
military and citizens. A welcome speech
was made by Gov. Carroll, after which the
President delivered an address congratula
ting his hearers upon the presence of peace
throughout the land, and saying that
we are rapidly moving forward to a
period when all sections are to
have equal rights, the States equal rights
under the Constitution,and all citizens equal
rights. The President spoke of the depres
sion caused by the panic of five years ago as
passing away, and he believed the prosper
ity of agriculture throughout the country
would extend to other branches of industry.
The President alluded to our ability to un
dersell European countries in many things
which they have heretofore furnished us,
as among the indications of our national
prosperity, and concluded by saying that
the good credit of the United States is
valuable to every man in the United States
engaged in any industry, because enter
prises that give employment to labor
can go forward only by capital,
and capital can be lent ’ out only
on good credit. What we want is good
dollars and inducement to put them into
busiuess. If I know myself at all, my view
is that as more human beings are engaged
in labor with their hands than in any other
way, they are chiefly to be considered in
governmental affairs. (Applause.) That is
my opinion all the time. In traveling oar
safety depends on the honesty and
fidelity with which the common laborers
perform their part. If on the railroad there
he defective machinery or carelessness, our
lives are endangered; so our national safety
depends on honest labor. Therefore the
best thing to do i6 to keep our credit good
and our currency sound and stable.
Following the President, Secretary Sher
man made a speech devoted to the financial
condition of the country and giving facts
taken from the records of the Treasury and
tending to show that business is improving,
and the signs for the future of trade aud
industry are hopeful and cheering.
The 'Secretary said in the course of his.
SDeech: “We have imported goods from
foreign countries during the last twelve
months to the value of $430,855,017 and sold
to foreign countries during the same period
goods to the value of $720,484,171, leaving
a much larger balance in our favor than has
ever occurred before in our history, and
this balance is represented either by debts
paid by the United States or money paid to
us, but mostly by debts paid by us. ’
Among the bright signs of our national
future he mentioned the following : “ Our
exports of manufactures of cotton have in
creased from $2,947,528 during the fiscal
vear ending; June 30. 1873, to $11,435,628
during 1S7S. The exports of iron manufac
tures, including steel, rose from $10,000,000
in 1873 to $12,000,000 In 1878. The exports
of leather amd manufactures of leather in
creased from $5,306,000 in 1873 to $8,077,000
in 1878, and our exports of copper and brass
and manufactures thereof rose from $753,000
during 1873 to $3,078,000 daring 1878.”
Speaking upon the currency question the
Secretary said: “I do not say coin money
should be the only money, for 1 believe tha't
paper money equal to coin Is, for current
purposes,more convenient than coin money.
But the only test of its equality to coin is
that it is redeemable in coin on the demand
of the holder. I have no wish to enter on a
controverted political question, whether the
best mode has been adopted to
bring this about ; for upon this point
we might honestly differ, hut upon
one point I think we can all agree—
that having gold, silver and paper money
so near to each other, we will not allow
the gap to widen again, but all money shall
be of equal purchasing power, so that rich
and poor, bondholder and noteholder, land-
owner and laborer, may have as he chooses
either form of money for his labor and pro
ductions. I am frequently asked whether
we can maintain the equality of this money
after resumption. I say, without hesitation,
we can do so, but we must not
force the issue of either form
of money when Its conveniences, the popu-
ar demand for it, and the separate uses for
which it is designed will not keep it at par
with other money.”
After the party had left the fair grounds,
the President and Mrs. Hayes helaa recep
tion, and many ladies and gentlemen of the
city and surrounding country called to pay
their respects to them and to the Governor
of the State. At 12 o’clock the party left
for Washington. Their reception was cor
dial in all directions.
DISASTERS OF THE STORM IN PHILADELPHIA.
Philadelphia, October 24.—Detailed re
ports to-day show that by yesterday’s storm
in this city three hundred and eighty-four
dwellings and stores were unroofed and
otherwise injured,' and several completely
demolished. In addition to these, there
were badly injured thirty-one churches,
twenty-three schools, thirty-five factories
and warehouses, five hotels, two elevators,
and fifty other large buildings, such as
depots, ferry houses, mills aud railroad
offices. The fatal accidents were six, and
those seriously injured number thirteen.
destructive prairie fires.
Chicago, October 24.—Iowa, Nebraska
and Kansas advices indicate prairie fires as
still raging in those States, destroying
grain, bridges, barns, fences and other pro
perty. Many persons have perished in the
flames. An unconfirmed report prevailed
in Lincoln,Nebraska, yesterday, that Albion,
Boone county, Nebraska, a town of two
hundred and fifty inhabtants, had been ut
terly destroyed. It was supposed that the
fires in some cases had been lighted by the
Cheyennes.
SCHOONER ALTOONA WRECKED.
Washington, October 24.—The Signal
Observer at Cape Hatteras reports that the
two-masted schooner Altoona, loaded with
logwood, went ashore on the night of the
22d. The crew were all saved, but the ves
sel is a total loss. The deck load was wash
ed off.
BARK ABANDONED AT SEA.
Charleston, October 24.—The schooner
Fred A. Carl, of Rotterdam, brings the
officers and crew of the bark Martha, from
Bull River for Newcastle, which was aban
doned at sea.
PRESIDENT OF THE HUNGARIAN CHAMBER.
Pesth, October 24.—Herr Ghiczy, Minis-
terlialist candidate, has been re-elected
President of the Hungarian Chamber of
Deputies.
SECRETARY EVARTS MAKES A SPEECH.
Washington, October 24.—Secretary
Evarts made a political campaign speech at
Cooper Institute to-night to an immense
audience.
THE DAVIS DISASTER TO BE INVESTIGATED.
Washington, October 24.—An officer of
the Revenue Marine Service has been de
tailed to investigate the Davis disaster.
Night photographs by the aid of the
electric light have been successfully
taken in Baltimore. Messrs. David and
Moses Bachrach are the photographers
who have been engaged in these interest
ing experiments, and they have pro
duced pictures of almost all the large
exhibits of the Maryland Institute Fair.
The pictures look different from those
taken by the sun, and have a bluish tinge
and strong lights and shadows; but
every object is brought out with full
distinctness, and the bluish hue is a
novelty which adds to their attractive
ness. The-use of the electric light to
secure photographs in tunnels, mines,
and such places, where the light of the
sun cannot penetrate, will be a great
benefit, and will, no doubt, be largely
availed of.
It is figured out from an examination
of the British “case” before the Halifax
tribunal that leaving out of considera
tion “constructive damages,” which
were decided to be inadmissible in the
Alabama claims, the British bill of
particulars, if assented to by the United
States, would only require the payment
of about a million and a half dollars by
this country, instead of the five millions
and a half awarded. But, suggests the
Washington Star, the English authori
ties will not use the same arithmetic as
that adopted by calculators on this side
of the water. Or they may follow the
example of the majority of the Halifax
commission and make their decision
without regard to arithmetics.
“Semi-Official War.”—The Russian
journals declare that their country will
not go to war with England about India,
but if England makes war upon Afghan
istan there will be as many Russian offi
cers in the Afghan service as there were
British officers in the Turkish service
during the late war. The Golos says that
“England, having • allowed Messrs.
Baker, Kimball and others to fight for
Turkey, Russia will not prevent her
officers, volunteers and ammunition mer
chants from going to and fighting for
Afghanistan. This would be a semi
official war, no doubt, but semi official
hostilities are far preferable to direct and
official rupture, which is not to be appre
hended.”
Irish trade returns show a remarkable
falling off lately in the number of head
of live stock sent to Great Britain. The
exports trom the port of Dublin in 1876
were 56,679 cattle, 111,082 sheep and
8,771 pigs; in 1877, 50,772 cattle, 105,154
sheep and 9,652 pigs; in 1878, 44,957
cattle, 85,147 sheep and 7,322 pigs, a de
crease of 12,000 head of cattle, 26,000
sheep and 2,000 pigs. Competition from
this side of the Atlantic is beginning to
be severely felt. The Dublin Express
says: “The increase in the imports of
live stock into Liverpool from across the
Atlantic within the last three months is
causing more uneasiness to Irish cattle
dealers than the imports of dead meat
which preceded them.”
Those “fortified illicit stills” in Ar
kansas having served to draw forth an
opinion from Attorney General Devens
designed as a step in the nullification of
the Congressional prohibition of the use
of the army as a Republican agent at
the polls, have dissolved into thin air.
The special Revenue Agent who reported
them in existence, now reports that the
stills have been “sunk” and the “forti
fied works abandoned.” It is eminently
probable that neither the stills nor the
works ever existed except in the imagi
nation of the agent.
The Next House.—Clerk Adams, of
the House, is daily receiving the mate
rial from which he will make up the roll
of the Forty-sixth Congress. Already he
is in receipt of the certificates of election
of members of Congress from Maine,
Oregon, Colorado and Vermont. Thus
far there are no duplicate certificates and
no contestants. The credentials of the
members-elect from Ohio, Indiana, Iowa
and West Virginia have not yet been
forwarded.
The Treasury Department has com
menced the purchase of gold bullion at
Charlotte, North Caroling, for green
backs. The purchases average about
eight thousand dollars per week. The
bullion is shipped to Philadelphia for
coinage. Purchases in a like manner
will be commenced at Denver, Cofofft' 4

Another Denial. — Mr. Jno. F.
Coyle, of Washington, D. C., whose
name was mentioned by the New York
Tribune in connection with the cipher
telegrams, has written a letter in which
he denies in general all the Tribune's
charges of corruption, so far as they re
late to himself, and specially denies the
authorship of any of the dispatches pub
lished by the Tribune signed “Max,”
and attri buted to him.
Consumption of the lung tissue must
