TAPPING THE WIRES.
In the Kellogg-Spofford Investigation yes
terday one Bernard Williams was recalled,
and testified that Kellogg had used bribery
to prevent Spofford’s witnesses from testi
fying against him before the Investigating
committee at Washington. It was developed
on cross-examination, however, that Wil
liams had been a deserter from the Con
federate army. Several other witnesses were
examined, but nothing of importance was
elicited.
The investigation of the United States
^Local Inspectors of Steamboats into the late
Champion collision was continued yesterday.
The second mate of the Champion and
several seamen were examined. They testi
fied that it was customary to take the man
from the lookout to assist in setting the
sails when it was necessary, and that he was
so engaged at the time of the collision. They
also all stated that it was the Octavia which
Tan into the Champion. J. S. Mitchell, a
passenger on the Champion, testified that
when the collision occurred he looked for a
life preserver, or something which might
assist him in saving his life, but he could
find nothing.
The Thomas statue was unveiled yester
day in Washington* The city was full of
strangers, and the military procession, in
which were several Virginia companies, were
reviewed by Hayes and the Cabinet while
on its march to the circle where the statue
stands. The Marine Band furnished the in
strumental music, and there was singing by
a male chorus of one hundred voices, with a
drum corps and artillery accompaniments,
the guns being fired during the singing by
means of electricity. Hon. Stanley Mat
thews delivered the oration.
A new and important railroad project was
Inaugurated Tuesday in Texas. The. char
ter of the Texas Trunk Railroad, to run
from Dallas southeasterly to the Gulf, with
a branch to the Louisiana line, was filed.
The capital stock will be $5,000,000, of which
5,000 shares were subscribed for on the spot.
The peace commissioners are making
slow progress with the investigation Into
the Thornburgh massacre. Ouray thinks
General Adams incompetent as a commis
sioner, because of his knowledge of the
Utes and their affairs, and proposes that he
be recalled. He (Ouray) desires to go with
several of the late chieis, and lay the mat
ter before Schurz.
The statement that an agreement had
been reached between Germany and the
Vatican has been confirmed. *
Late particulars of the recent disaster on
Lake Ontario state that, two tugs, the
Becker and the Gordon, went down, and
eight scows of the fleet were afterwards
found between *Sodus Point and Oswego.
There were thirty-one persons on the fleet
when it left the river St. Lawrence for Lake
Ontario. Of these twenty-two have been
saved so far as known.
Michael Davitt, James B. Killen and
James Daly, editor of the Connaught Tele
graph, were all arrested yesterday for using
language in public calculated to create
breach of the peace. The arrests were
made very quietly. The prisoners have been
taken to Sligo jail and held for examina
tion. Great excitement was created in
Castlebar, where Daly resided and edited
the Connaught Telegraph, and where he is
much respected. lie was cheered by the
inhabitants on his departure for Sligo.
At the evening exercises of the Army of
the Cumberland, an address of welcome was
delivered in behalf of the city of Washing
ton by Judge McArthur. General Sherman
made a short speech eulogistic of General
Thomas, in which he stated that Thomas
owed his commission to General Robert An
derson.
The Pope has expressed disapproval of
the procedure of the German Bishops in re
gard to the education law, and the German
Clericals have been thro*»vn in much con

The American Public Health Association
met at Nashville yesterday at 10 a. m., and
several interesting papers in regard to pre
serving health and protecting communities
from disease were discussed. During the
day the members paid a visit to Mrs. ex-
President Polk at her residence.
One of the Unteiuufied.—Senator
Eatou, of Connecticut, has arrived in
Washington. The Senator is a sturdy
old Jacksonian Democrat, whom defeat
cannot dismay. He says the Democracy
of Connecticut are all right; that the
reason why the Republicans did so well
at the recent, election iu that State was
because thousands of Democrats, for
reasons satisfactorj* to themselves, stayed
at home. He entertains no misgivings
as to Democratic success next year, if
the party management is judicious. With
a proper candidate the Democrats, he be
lieves, can easily carry New York, New
Jersey, Indiana and Connecticut. The
Democrats, he thinks, will have the ma
jority in the Legislature next year, and
thus will retain the United States Sena
tor.
German Carp.—Judge J. T. Hender
son, Commissioner of Agriculture, lias
just received from Professor Spencer F.
Baird, United States Fish Commissioner,
five hundred German carp, which he
proposes to distribute in the waters of
Georgia. Those having ponds, free
from game fish, should apply at once to
Commissioner Henderson for some of
these fish. We have before alluded to
the introduction of the German carp into
our waters. They live mostly upon
vegetable food and do best in ponds with
muddy bottoms, and in which there are
Aquatic plants. They may be fed upon
bread or finely cut cabbage or lettuce.
Senators Weatherwax and Hogwhistle
and Hon. Tarquiriius Darwin, in Flor
ence’s “Mighty Dollar,” remind us of
the happy days of reconstruction, when
the great Republican party bulldozed
the South, and the First district of Geor
gia was represented by Hon. (?) J. W.
Clift, of Massachusetts. There is
striking likeness between Hogwhistle
and Clift. The elevation of a few more
“Jeffersonian Democrats” like Dr. Fel
ton will bring the carpel-baggera back
upon us. There are better pickings in
Georgia now than there were in 1868-69.
The Hon. Lj’on Playfair will have an
article on “ Technical Education the
Supplement of Free Trade and Protec

International Review. The subject has
occupied this distinguished writer’s at
tention for nearly a generation, and his
frequent visits to America enable him to
speak with authority to both American
and English readers.
The New Orleans Picayune, in an edi
torial, characterizes as a wild delusion
the statement of the New York Herald
that “ in many parts of the South prom:

have of late expressed their preference
for General Grant over any other Repub
lican, and over most Democrats:” The
Picayune says the South is solid for
Bayard.
Representative Alexander H. Stephens,
Democrat, says openly that in the next
Presidential canvass he will vote for
Grant before he will vote for Tilden.—

Remarkable Advice from a Repub
lican Paper.
The Tallahassee Patriot is one of the
few outspoken Radical papers published
in the South. Inasmuch, however, as it
is recognized in Florida as the property
of, and as controlled by, ex-Senator
Conover, its Republican proclivities can
not possibly be questioned. It was,
therefore, with much surprise that about
a week ago we read in it a leading edi
torial article, in which, under the head
ing, “A Solid South,” it took the ground
boldly that if the Northern Republicans
really desire to break up the Democratic
solidity of the South, they must cease
to villify this section. “If,” says
the Patriot, “our Republican friends
of the North really desire to assist us in
breaking down the solid phalanx of the
Democratic South, let them shut down,
at once, on the Southern slander mills
that are engaged in manufacturing at
least fifty Southern outrages to each one
that is really committed. Let them turn
a deaf ear to the dismal howls of discon
solate bloody shirt shriekers who attempt
to disguise their real character by crying
‘stop thief.’” And further, says the
Patriot in the same article:
“Those blatant demagogues who pre
tend to represent the Republican senti
ments of the North, by slandering, mis
representing and villifying the Southern
people.have done more to defeat the cause
they claimed to defend, and to solidify
the Democratic party South than all the
bowie knife and shotgun intimidations
their distorted imaginations could possi
bly conjure up.”
This is certainly remarkable language
coming from an avowedly Republican
newspaper published in a Southern State.
It does more to stamp with falsehood
the slanders and libels upon the South,
day after day uttered by Northern ma
lignants, than could volumes of sworn
testimony offered to prove that our sec
tion was habitually maligned and villified
by her enemies. It gives the lie direct to
our Northern defamers,and confesses that
the course of the Radical party towards
us has been most unjust and infamous.
Such utterances, proceeding from
paper owned by S. B. Conover, must
have weight with the Northern masses,
if by any means they could be brought to
their attention. In a word, it is
conviction of Radicalism out of its own
mouth.
But although the Patriot utters words
of sense and wisdom, its advice will not
be followed. Defamation of the South,
waving the bloody banner, and inciting
sectional discord and hate, form the life
and soul of Radicalism. If it ceases to
indulge in such practices it will die. Let
the Radical leaders speak the truth about
this section; let the Radical press abstain
from their slanders, and let the outrage
mills cease to grind, and Radicalism
would no longer be able to hold up its
head. The Republican party was con
ceived in sectional hate, brought forth
iu turmoil and confusion, nurtured on
warfare and strife, and flourishes upon
fraud, corruption and falsehood. Let it
now be deprived of these, its natural food,
and it will die of starvation. Agitation
and discord are its existence, and it is
matter of necessity to it that it should
continue to promote them. Therefore,
though the Florida Patriot speaks sensi
bly, its words will pass unheeded. More
likely when its utterances are seen and
read by its Northern allies it will receive
an admonition to stop speaking disa
greeable truths, and cease exposing Radi
cal falsehood under pain and penalty of
being read out of the Radical party. Still
the Patriot has spoken; it has denounced
the course of the Northern faction of its
party towards the South; it is Conover’s
paper, and Conover has been a Radical
United States Senator, even now holds
an office under a Radical administration,
and is reported to be an earnest friend of
John Sherman. All these facts we com
mend to the attention of Northern voters.
The Commissioner of Agriculture
and the Inspection of Fertilizers.
We had a pleasant visit yesterday from
Judge J. T. Henderson, State Commis
sioner of Agriculture, who is at present
in Savannah, on business connected with
his department, more especially for the
adoption of regulations for the inspection
of fertilizers.
It was objected by the last Legislature
that inspectors of fertilizers in bulk left
the doors open to the manufacturers to
palm off fraudulent compounds upon the
planters. It was also objected that the sys
tern of inspection as heretofore practiced,
was too loosely conducted, in that the
tags were carelessly placed in the hands
of dealers, railroad agents, etc., and
never attached to sacks. It is to meet
these objections that Judge Henderson,
the Commissioner of Agriculture, has for
bidden bulk inspections, and required in
spectors either to apply tags in person or
personally to supervise their applica
tions. Manufacturers, dealers and inspec
tors themselves think the rules of the
department impracticable, and urge the
Commissioner to modify them. To
this end Judge H. is now making
tour through the manufacturing districts
of South Carolina and to the ports of
Georgia.
Judge Henderson expresses the opin
ion that so far as the ports of Port
Royal and Savannah are concerned
fraudulent remixtures are impossible.
As to the manufacturers themselves,
he bears testimony to their high
order of character, and thinks it unlikely
that the slightest risk to reputation
would be taken, but then to satisfy his
people he will instruct inspectors
such a way as to remove all possible op
portunity on the part of manufacturers
to give other than a first class fertilizer.
In any eygnt, the Commissioner
thinks the farmer has the game
ift his own hands, for it
is his right to preserve a sample of his
guano, and should he, from a soil test,
have reason to suspect the quality of the
article used, he would have only to for
ward the sample to the Commissioner for
analysis.
The Toombs Scare.
The Radical organs of the North are
going into hysterics over Gen. Toombs’
ridiculous dispatch to the Chicago Flews.
Nothing since the Bull Run affair has
created such a panic among the truly
loyal as these few words of blustering
defiance from General Toombs, one of
the most harmless of the whole list of
“rebel brigadiers,” the fear of whom
seems to haunt the imagination of
the timorous stal.varts. A sud
den incursion of an army of
Bashi Bazouks into Chicago could
not, it would seem, have caused such
fearful and widespread consternation as
did that lightning flash from General
Toombs. We are sorry to see the nation
—the loyal Nation with a big N—thus
frightened from its propriety by such idle
and harmless vaporing. We beg most
earnestly to assure our stalwart fellow
citizens of the big N persuasion, that
there is really no necessity for their
alarm. We beg to assure them that
they need not feel the least appre
hension of danger from General Toombs.
He is not the fierce, man-eating rebel
Brigadier that they take him to be. Ex
cept, perhaps, in words, Gen. Toombs is
a very mild-mannered gentleman. He
does not overly like the turn things
have taken within the last twenty years,
and sometimes, when irritated, speaks
his mind very freely; but he has
no serious intention of invading
the North to destroy what
left of our once glorious Union. General
Toombs’ brigade was disbanded imme
diately after the surrender at Appomatox,
since when he has not commanded a
corporal’s guard in Georgia. In his pres
ent deadly hostility to the Union he
stands solitary and alone in the- State.
From him, single handed, no great
amount of danger ought to be appre
hended; but if it will be any relief to
A Radical Under False Colors.
The Columbus Enquirer, received
yesterday, contains the first full text of
Rev. Dr. Felton’s letter that we have
seen, although our Northern Radical
exchanges contain copious extracts with
voluminous and highly laudatory com
ments. We must confess that we are
somewhat disappointed by a perusal of
the parson’s pronunciamento. We had
been led by our Washington correspon
dent to believe that it was a formal decla
ration of his renunciation of Democracy
and of his adhesion to the Radical party.
But in this hope we gave him credit for too
much honesty and candor. Beginning
his letter with the hypocritical declare
tion, “I am a Democrat and sincerely be
lieve that the principles of Democracy
as enunciated by Jefferson, etc., are es
sential to the perpetuity of our form of
government,” he proceeds to give a
two-column rehash of nearly all
the slanders and abuse of the
Democratic party, men and measures,
with which the Radical organs are filled
from day to day. The letter is a feeble
attempt to magnify Dr. Felton and to
inaugurate an Independent boom
Georgia. It is, however, too transparent
and absurd to effect its purpose, and can
have no other result than to exhibit its
author in his true character, that of a
self-seeking political charlatan, unworthy,
the confidence of honest men of any party.
We shall be greatly disappointed if it does
not utterly disgust the few Democrats in
his district who permitted themselves to
be deluded into supporting his Congres
sional aspirations, and thus leave him in
the embrace of the Radical faction, to
which he properly belongs, and where he
can do less harm to the Democracy and
to the country than he is enabled to do
in his present false position.
Divorcing at a Rapid Rate.—Con
necticut will be in the way of speedily
losing its reputation as the land of steady
habits if its people keep on getting them
selves divorced at the rapid rate they are
doing at present. At the present term
of the Superior Court at Hartford, fifteen
divorces have been granted. As it is
presumable that these divorces were
granted upon only the most substantial
grounds, they point to a good deal of un
steadiness in the matter of habits on the
part of a considerable portion of the
population of Connecticut.
According to all accounts the marital
tie is quite as loose in Washington city
as in Connecticut. A Washington dis
patch says; “It is really surprising how
the divorce business is increasing in our
courts. The general charge is desertion,
though in cases where contests are made
the charges are more aggravated. The
divorce business has increased so much
that several legal firms devote their entire
time to it to the exclusion of all other
business. There is more money in divorce
cases, as a rule, than in the ordinary
cases. While there are some real good
cases, many of them are very crooked,
and are based upon testimony that is
furnished by private detectives, who
make a business of ‘working up’ divorce
cases and supplying missing links in the
testimony with perjured affidavits.”
Incendiary SDL
It is stated that French silks latterly
are so heavily loaded with sizing and
other foreign matters, meant to give
them weight and body, that it his be
come actually unsafe for ocean steamers
to transport them in bulk. - The steam
ship Mosel, on her last trip to New York
frdm Bremen, took fire in a very myste
rious way in mid-ocean. The fire was
fortunately discovered early' and was
conquered, after a hard battle. When
the ship reached port the cargo was over
hauled with. a view to ascertain the cause
of the fire, when it was clearly detected
to be due to the spontaneous combustion
of certain silk goods. Samples of these
goods were carefully examined under
the microscope and subjected also to
severe chemical tests, and the result
was that the so-called silk was found
to consist, for each 100 parts,
of 9.15 parts of moistnre, oxide
of iron 18.45, other minerals, not
determined, 3.30, fatty oils 1.85, organic
dyes and coloring matter 50.90, pure
silken fibre only 21.35 per cent. In other
words, these silks contained but a little
over one-fifth pure silk fibre, the rest
being foreign matters, a part of which,
particularly the iron salts in combination
with tannic acid, are liable always to un
dergo chemical changes and a sort of
oxidation, such as cannot fail to evolve
heat and result in combustions. It is
claimed that frequently fires in railroad
cars and warehouses have been caused by
the spontaneous combustion of these
chemically adulterated silks, and that
the insurance companies have at last be
gun to guard against them by requiring
them to be transported in especial com
partments, separate from other goods,
and where they can be carefully watched.
G«n, Hancock and the Execution of

Editor Morning News: It is a part of
political strategy to depreciate one’s op

too often it is foully attempted by dis

The Fraud of ’ 76 Admitted,
The Philadelphia Times, the leading
journal of Philadelphia, is what may be
fairly called an independent Republican
paper. Colonel McClure, the editor, was
long a prominent leader of the Republi
can party. Latterly he criticises it when
it is in his belief wrong, as in the New
York frauds—but favors the party gen
erally. Under the caption, “The March
of Fraud,” he condemns the Democrats
of Maine, and has this to say of his own
party, elsewhere:
THE MARCH OF FRAUD.
It is marvelous how fraud breeds fraud
in political parties. It grows apace like
all ill weeds, and it seems to make every
place its temple. The carpet-bag return
ing boards of the South so familiarized
the country with the fraudulent perver
sion of the honest vote of the people,
and they have been so generally sanc
tioned by the party that seemed to profit
by their shame, that the great mass of
party men have ceased to be appalled by
fraud, unless it assails their own rights
or prejudices. As was most natural, with
a growing indifference to fraud among
political leaders, it finally reached a terri
ble climax in rejecting a man elected to the
Presidency by a quarter of a million ma
jority, and giving the position to the defeat
ed candidate. Since then fraud seems to
be regarded as stronger than the people
or their laws, and the chief 6tudy of poli
ticians now is to facilitate rather than
overthrow the efforts of those partisans
who summon crime as a factor in politi
cal struggles.
Here we have a candid acknowledg
ment from a Republican journal that in
the last Presidential election the Demo
cratic candidate received a majority of
the people’s votes, but was defrauded out
of the office to which he was fairly elec
ted. That such was the case in 1876 was
the fault of the Radical knaves who
engineered the fraud. If the villainy is
successfully repeated in 1880 it will be the
fault of the American people.

Silk Trade of France.—Mr. Peix-
otto, United States Qopsul at Lyons,
France, io his dispatch to the Depart
ment of State, dated October 29, 1879,
compares the silk trade of France in 1879
with 1878. The export of pure silk
goods has fallen from 101,000,000 of
francs to 82,000,000. Of mixed silk goods
there has been an increase over 1878 of
3,000,000 francs and over 1877 of 11,000,
000 francs. The total exports of France
of all kinds for the first nine months of
1879 have fallen off 41,000,000 francs,
while the imports during the «ad»a period
have increased 326,000,000 francs.
Resistance to the British has almost
ceased in Afghanistan, and the trouble
with the English Government now is to
determine what Jo do with the conquered
provinces. To withdraw thp troops is
to put the rebels in possession again, and
the policy of annexation is bitterly opr
posed at home and abroad. The Times
insists upon " an efficient native govern
ment,” but how to establish it and give
it permanency is the troublous question.

Gen. Beauregard on the Battle of
Shiloh.
Gen. Beauregard has written a letter
to a personal friend, in response to cer
tain inquiries concerning the battle of
Sbiloh, and it first sees the light in the
columns of the Cincinnati Enquirer.
He makes these points:
‘1. The turning point in the contest
at Shiloh was the arrival of Buell’s
forces. 2. Grant was irretrievably beat
en, and but for the arrival of Buell’s
army his remnants would have been
destroyed on the second day. 3. During
the attempted assaults made by our dis
jointed organization upon the Federal
position on the bluff at Pittsburg Land
ing, between 5 and 0 p. . m. of the first
day, I expected from the renewed resist
ance of the Federals that reinforce
ments had been received, and Gen
eral Prentiss, who was captured in
the afternoon, stated in the evening
that Buell was coming up. Later,,
however, a dispatch from Col. Helm, a
regular (I mean a West Point graduate
and in the old service) army officer, post
ed at Florence, positively reported that
Buell was marching upon Huntsville.
But for this mistaken report of Helm
(and I may add Hardee’s neglect to re-
jlibrt tome the information acquired by
Colonel Forrest during the night, that
large bodies of troops were being formed
across the river), I would have adopted a
different disposition for tfle second day
suited to the defensive, for which the
field offered ample opportunity. The
opportune arrival of Buell’s army un
questionably saved the Federals from
complete defeat. No more than one-
fourth of Grant’s forces were in the sec
ond day’s battle. How many of them
could have been collected and organized
without the presence of General Buell’s
army it is not difficult to judge.”
of State when he. was eight years ©Id
now communicated at great expense by
his-own nurse.” And of which type is
the now current attempt to assail
General Hancock on account of his
cial connection with the hanging of Mrs.
Surratt.
No officer of the army has the right to
resign his commission at his own plea
sure, as every intelligent citizen knows.
He may tender it But it remains with
the government to accept, when, where
and how it pleases. The 24 par., art v.
of the United States Army Regulations
saysr “That any officer, who having
tendered his resignation, shall, prior to
due notice of the acceptance of the same
by the proper authority, and without
leave, quit his post or proper duties with
the intent to remain permanently absent
therefrom, shall be registered as a de
serter, and punished as such."
On the day of the execution of Mrs.
Surratt, it may have been the regular
turn, by the roster, of General Hancock
to go on as General of the day in com
mand of all the guards, and, as such, to
superintend the execution of all punish
ments decreed by judicial sentence for
that day.
Or, as from oral testimony and cir
cumstantial evidence in the possession of
the writer. General Hancock, a pro
nounced Union Democrat, a pure, true,
honorable soldier, prominent in the army
for his Jacksonian devotion to the Union,
and for his unswerving attachment to
the Constitution of his country,
humane and gentle in temper as he was
firm in principle, was especially
selected and detailed as the General
officer of that day for the purpose
of interposing, if possible, a Democratic
screen between the public and tfye pro
jectors of the bloody murder. The mis
creants (I think the world agrees to day
in the appropriateness of the term) who
devoted Mrs. Surratt to death, knew that
General Hancock was too honorable and
good a soldier to shrink, by resigning or
otherwise, from the performance of any
duty imposed upon him, within the
sphere of his obedience to discipline, and
that by charging him with the execution
of the unjust sentence, they might make
him appear as particeps of their crime,
in the minds of the people and in histo
ry. The scheme to murder the woman
for political capital, and to assault the
reputation of a gallant patriot, was with
in the malignant comprehension of the
bloody fiend who shrank from no crime
that might aggrandize himself or his
party. But he committed the error of
estimating at too low a figure the intel
ligence and justice of the American
people, whose passions subsided, have
consigned the wretch to the profound re
tirement of his own infamy.
General Hancock was, as the writer
has always believed, a selected victim for
that occasion, and had he failed or hesi
tated to obey orders, he would have justly
sunk himself below the malice of his
professional and political adversaries,
and the honest estimation of his country
men. True to principle, he did his duty,
and with what humanity, history records.
He could not believe that the unjust sen
tence of an illegal commission would be
consummated, and therefore stationing
relays of couriers between the White
House and the arsenal, that reprieve
might be secured, even if granted at the
last moment, he sat, watch in hand,
anxiously awaitiDg, but in vain, for the
pardon his own noble heart assured him
was due to the unfortunate woman. But
no pardon came. The signal gun was
fired, and Mrs. Surratt’s soul passed into
eternity. It was a hard trial for an
honorable soldier to be put to, but Han
cock stood the proof. Had he not, he
would not have been fit to be the Presi
dent of the United States.

Burchard reports for the year which
ended June 30, 1879, as follows: The
total deposits, including silver purchases,

The Sensitlre Plant—The Influence
of Anesthetics on Them.
The idea of subjecting this remarkable
plant to the action of anesthetics was
natural, and several experiments of the
kind are recorded, the plant having been
placed in ether or chloroform. Recently
M. Arloing has made some interesting
observations of chloral, chloroform, ana
ether presented for absorption by the
roots. The pots were sprinkled with
aqueous solutions of these substances,
then covered with care to prevent escape
of the vapors. After absorption of chloro
form or ether one notes primary and
secondary effects; the former are phe
nomena of excitation similar to those
arising from mechanical irritation, and
comparable to those in animals when
anesthetized. They occur successively
from the bottom to the top of the stem.
In thirty to sixty minutes the common
petioles (or leaf stems) straighten, and
the leaflets separate, beginning from the
top of the stem, but the plant is now
found to have lost its sensibility. The
secondaiy effect consists of elimination
of the anaesthetic. The sensibility often
does not return for one and a half or two
hours. Chloral does not act amesthetio
ally on the sensitive plant. These obser
vations afforded Mr. Arloing an oppor
tunity of ascertaining the velocity of
liquids in the stem and branches of plants
under strictly physiological conditions,
whereas past experiments on the subject
have been made with withered or muti
lated plants. If the leaves are in a good
state, the common petioles bend down
suddenly and successively from below
upwards in the plant as the absorbed
chloroform reaches them. Hence, know
ing the dimensions of the plant, the
velocity of the chloroformed water in
the stem and primary petioles can be
easily calculated. Within the stem the
velocity is modified by the state of the
tissues and foliage, the temperature, etc.;
it was found, in different cases, at the
rate of 0.90 meters, 2.22 m., 2.40 m., and
2.76 m., per hour. The velocity increases
from the base to the top of the stem in
the ratio of 1 to 1.25 or 1.50, and it is 1£
times to twice as great in the petioles as
in the stem.

The Cholera in Japan.—The Paris
Temps gives some particulars of the
ravages of cholera in Japan. The epi
demic appeared last April in the district i
of Ehime, where the tombs of soldiers
who fell victims to it in 1877 had been
opened, partly for religious rites and
partly for the more becoming interment
of men hastily buried during the war.
In a week forty-five out of sixty-five,
cases proved fatal. It extended to other j
points, and at Osaka it is not uncommon
to see persons fall down in the streets,
struck by it. In July it was reported at
Tokio, the capital, and also at Yoko
hama, and in some western towns the
epidemic has assumed formidable pro
portions. Up to August 17 the total
number of cases of cholera throughout
Japan was 76,598, of which- 41,915 had
proved fatal, 9,789 had recovered, and j
the remainder were still under treatment.
Up to the end of September the number I
had reached 100,000. The government
has exerted itself to the utmost by es
tablishing hospitals, forbidding the
sale of unripe fruit (which the Japanese
are accustomed to eat), and quarantine
.for ^ale.

Utica (N. Y.) Observer, Democrat: “In
whatever direction we turn we find plen
ty of indications of Democratic discord,
but no sigqs of inpreased Republican
strength. The people are as ready to-day
as they were in 1870 to vote down the
party of hatred and to condemn the
spirit of sectional strife, They are ready
to adopt Mr. Bayard's suggestion, and to
disqualify the Republican party. But as
a precedent condition to this work, they
demand unity of purpose on the part of
the Democratic leaders. Shall that unity
be lacking when upon it depends the fu_-
(ure fate of the United States.”
General Grant seems unwilling to let
an opportunity to keep himself in the

sermon he took a stand in the vestibule
and shook bands with a large number of

The republic of Chili, althqugh a party
to the convention of Paris, was unable
to carry its provisions into operation on
the 1st of April, 1879, and therefore its
adhesion hesbepn indefinitely postponed.
Superintendent Blackfan recommends
that Congress be requested to enact the

relative to the payments of a limited in
demnity for registered articles lost or

National Republican Committee —
A Washington ^ispatch says the contest
for the Chairmanship of the National
Republican Committee is waxing hot.
The friends of the principal aspirants for
the Republican Presidential nomination
are busily at work laying the wires to
secure the election of a Chairman
their respective interests, Mr. Blaine is
not satisfied with having one candidate
in the field, but has put up two—Mr. R.
C. McCormick and Mr. Wm. E. Chand
elier. Mr. Chandler is by far much the
brighter and smarter of the two, but he
does not possess the cultivating powers
which pertain to Mr. McCormick. Mr.
McCormick is put down on the commit
tee as representing Arizona, although he
has not lived in that territory for a num
ber of years. Governor-elect Cornell, of
New York, will, as once before stated,
be the gpndidate of the Grant-Conkling
element. CoL Thos. B. Keagh, of
North Carolina, one of the ablest and
most popular members of the committee,
has also been prominently spoken of in
connection with the Chairmanship.
The Buffalo Courier (Democrat) esti
mates that 15,000 Democrats voted di
rectly for Mr. Cornell at the iate election,
which numbgr added to the 78,000 votes
received by Mr. Kelly, swells the anti-
over 20,000 anti-Tilden Democrats voted
directlr for the Republican candidate.
A Washington letter 'recalls how Gen,
Grant used to " thunder about Washing
ton in a grand four-horse turnout.”
That’s the sort of thing Napoleon Ill-
used to do in Paris. But he didn't keep
it up so many years as he expected to.
Not quite.
At the afternoon session Dr. A. L. Giton,
Medical Director of the U. 8. Navy, read
an able and interesting paper on the protec
tion of innocent and helpless members of
he community from venereal diseases and
their consequences, earnestly advocating
rigid sanitary inspection by regular
health officers without the necessity
of the rigid system of police surveillance of
European cities. Dr. Sternberg, U. S. A.,
approved a paper read by Dr. Giton, and
was followed by Dr. Bailhache, Dr. B. F.
Gibbs and Dr. Campbell, of Geonria, sug
gesting methods of protection. The Sani
tary Council of the Mississippi Valley is
composed of representatives of the National
Board of Health, State Board of Health and
various municipal boards.
THE RECENT LAKE DISASTER.
Oswego, November 19.—The following
additional particulars relative to the lake
disaster have been received. Two tugs of the
fleet were seen to go down. The tug Becker
came alongside the dredge Gordon about
1;30 a. m. half full of water. George
Palmer, Samuel Logan and William
Logan jumped aboard the dredge. Imme
diately thereafter the tug careened over and
disappeared. The tug O. Thayer went down
about 9 p. m. Her Captain, Henry Heckler,
was saved. Her engineer, It Is supposed,
was lost. On board the dredge Gordon
were Richard Arnold, Patrick Etran, Billy
Logan, S. Logan and George Palmer and
wife. The water in the engine room was
waist deep, and at 4:40 a. m. the Gordon
6uuk and all on board were drowned, ex
cepting the fireman. Smith, and two
brothers, named Heather, who were picked
up by the tug Seymour.
The tug Gardner, which left this port for
Sodus Point yesterday, returned this even
ing Rad reported eight scowa of the wreaked
fleet on the beach between here and 8odua.
There were thirty-one persons on the fleet
when it left the river St. Lawrence for Lake
Ontario. Sixteen were taken to Sodus on
the tug John Hickler, six were rescued and
taken to Sackett’s Harbor on the tug Sey
mour, and three who were on scows are
missing. The number saved, so far
known, is twenty-two.
ARRESTED FOR SEDITIOUS LANGUAGE.
London, November 19.—Michael Davitt

SCANDALOUS DOUBLE MARRIAGE.—
The village of Union, New York, is
greatly excited over a double marriage
ceremony which was performed there
last week. The parties were a Mr. and
Mrs. De Forest Rose, a young man
named Harris, aged about twenty-one
years, and Sadie Bliss, who is about
seventeen years of age. Mr. and Mrs.
Hose have been married several years
and have one child. About three weeks
ago they were visited by the girl, Sadie
Bliss, and a plan of mixing up marriage
relations seems to have been agreed upon.
How it was brought about is not ex
plained, but a few days ago the four
took a hack and drove out to Union.
There a Baptist clergyman, the Rev. E.
T. Bessy, was called upon, and Mr. Rose
was married to Sadie Bliss, and Mrs.
Hose was married to the young man Har
ris. Afterward, when Harris was asked
about the affair, he pleaded that he did
not know that Hose was married to the
woman said to be his wife—that, in fact,
he had never inquired as to her relations
with him, but that he loved her and in
tended to stick to her. Hose has since
disappeared, leaving behind both wives,
but Harris and Mrs. Hose continue to
live together in Binghamton.
