The General was in full regalia, with. A TEA ROSE IN HIS UUTCON HOLE. Ami patent leather pumps.

It is said that this combination is going to be a widespread one. The extent of the conspiracy is only a reason for the swifter punishment of it, and the more energetic measures to break it down. For these reasons, I can see nothing more unwise than the re ported action of the banks. If they j go on with it, “ THEY WILL PROVOKE A STORM THAT ■ WILL SWEEP THEM OUT OP EXIS TENCE, “ Aud I trust never to bear any more of it. I wonder that in all the papers which have reported their action this view-has not been hinted; and I would suggest that the question for the uext financial debating club, called a “ Board of Trade,” or a “ Convention of Bankers ”—if there is any body there to represent more than one side of the qiiestion-r-tlie next question discussed shall be:, np in form—as there is y*$y ., 4 I...A 4 1 . .... 1. .. ....

Whatever in- . ° dividuals may do, in attempting lo ! put business on a gold basis in defi- | ance of a law of Congress, need not ! be taken now into account. But when the banks, the creatures of Con- gressoinal legislation, set themselves up against their creator, “THERE IS A VERY SHORT WAY OF DEALING WITH THEM, “To-wit: the pov.er that made them can aud ought to unmake them. Congress chartered, Congress can un- charter; and in my judgment, it would be a duty of Congress to take away the charter of any bank or banks that enter into any combination to nullify the laws of Congress. If, as is admitted, there is an absolute majority in both Houses iu favoT of a silver currency, and as it is also admitted, the Constitution has placed within the jurisdiction of the two Houses “ THE RIGHT TO COIN MONEY “And regulate the value thereof, then that majority, acting within its constitutional power, will not permit any' set of men for their own love of gain to nullify that or any other law of Congress. It will be remembered that in the contest with the United States Bank, the President and the House of Representntivcs were alone in accord, the Senate being against them. Now, on the silver question, the majority of both Houses are in accord, and the President is where he will find himself to be when the ques tion comes before him —where that is, I do not know. “THE QUESTION ON NULLIFICATION. “But, upon the question whether a law imposed l*v Congress under the j t<>rms prescribed by the Constitution ui be nullified, there cau be no doubt where the President must be i lately.

It is as serted with much confidence that Mr. Tilden had something to do with inspiring the presentation of the memorial, and that the introduction of the memorial in the Maryland Legislature will bo followed by the offering of a similar paper in all the other States where there are Demo cratic Legislatures. It is said fur ther , that David Dudley Field and other prominent friends ot Mr. Tilden were cognizant of Judge Blair’s purpose, and saw a copy ot his memo rial before it wrs introduced. It is said that tile programme is to have bronght, forward in the Senate or the House Mi . Fields'bill providing* for ilie institution of q\id Warranter pro ceedings to test Mr. Haye’s right to the Presidency'. So far from these* proceedings tak ing up all of the remaining period of Mr. Haye’s term, it is asserted that •Yiilic .blue country have never failed to feel keeely the wrong which has beeu in flicted upon them ; that they demand redress, and will have it whenever the opportunity come-, and that their representatives will have to he forced up to the position which the people have taken in advance of them. Judge Blair also indicated that, no matter xvhai others may do, 5: is own convictions will not permit him to relqnt in his denunciation of the wrong by which the people were deprived of their choice, nor in the effort to right that wrong. Judge Blair’s statement, as made al»ove, seems lo dispiose of the statement made by the New York correspondent of the Philadelphia Ledger, of his having a personal understanding with Mr Tilden. In fact your correspondent understood Mr. Blair in the conver sation of yesferday, after his remark that he had not seen Mr. Tilden for months, to add that he had not re ceived n b tler from Mr. Tilden Since a sliort I, .l' after the St. Louis Con vention. j Burning: a Babe.

Many of the underskirts have the front breadth entirely' embroideted, and the back decorated with lloweis haudsomely worked, even the walk ing skirts (made quite short) are trimmed with lace-edged flowers. Nothing of all this, however, can compete with the elegance of the dressing gowns. There is one in white satin bi oc ide, decorated with Bruges lace, wide white fringe, and white satin bows; a second in pale blue fancy silk interwoven with sil ver threads, inched with extremely wide Valenciennes and tied together with blue and silver cords and tas sels; a third in Swiss muslin deli cately embroidered, surrounded by a plaiting of embroidered muslin and that tl]o feelings anti thd prejudices of certain, pn'pmbers of the Supreme Court would lead them to go quite out of office as the went last winter to put him in. If there can be an as surance that a fair number of Demo crats would vote to pass the Field bill, enough Republican support to carry it will, it is said, be forthcoming. The radical Republicans here are really gratified that- the question has been again started. But so far as Democratic Senators and Rcpresen- wife’s physician, Dr M. Y.

The soles of the babe’s feet were terribly burned, and several of its toes tatives have expressed themselves j dropped oft.

The movement made by Mr. Blair has developed the interesting and ex traordinary fact that, supposing a ruchings of Valenciennes, and having j ch could be effectcd ; n t|)e p res . A writer iu the Berrien county New- affirms that there are numbers of men in this comity, who have paid their taxes, as required by law, punc tually, and now find their homes, where they have lived from five to twenty years, levied on, and offered for sale, for non payment of taxes, and they know not what to do, and many of them are unable to procure legal advice. Many thinks it is about time these “ wild land ” sales were stopped, and would be pleased if Governor Colquitt would so order. —The New Orleans Democrat, commenting on the endless punish ment discussion in the North, says: “ Southern thought, Southern society, and, consequently, Christianity in the South, clings with a fond and loving tenacity tc the anchor of con servatism, and with a stalwart faith yet resists the demoralizing influences which, in the so-called higher culture of the North, have almost made virtue and honor terms of ridicule, if not of reproach.** On the 19th of January, the anni versary of Gen.

The sagacious Democrats believe that in the one event their chances tor 1880 would be so much better, and the Republicans have the same opinion as to their chances in the other, and in addition they have that personal antipathy which would be pleased by the humiliation of a President who, they say, has done nothing for them. Judge Blair was here yesterday arguing a case before the Supreme Court. In conversation with your correspondent on the sub ject of his memorial he said that, while it bad been shown to several gentleman before being offered, he had determined to present it of his own volition, and without consulta tion or suggestion from any one. He said that he bad not seen Mr. Tilden for months. He considered that he had done his duty to the people of the country, who elected Mr. Tilden’ and the responsibility now rested with the Legislature of Maryland, and not with him. Judge Blair said that iu hb belief the people throughout the whole hisself no’ guilty, but he is. Why, mon, that stove was hot a rod het, an’ he took the lid oft' an’ pvt the child’s fut to the fire.” Mr. Stewart sued for five thousand dollar damages, lie said that judgement by default had been taken against Dr. Duntou. Dr. Duntou laughed in a ball- amused way, and said that he did not hold the almost lifeless body near the stove to get a little warmth into it thirty-six hours after he was told that its feet were burned. The child subsequently lost its toes, but more in consequence of the treatment of some woman employed by Stewan, than in consequence of the burning. The babe died of a combination of ordinary complaints. Far from hav ing caused the babe’s death, it was he who had enabled it to live as long as it did. The suit for damages is t» be tried before Sheriff Reilly to-day. Noay and Then.—It is only nou and then that such men as Hon. Alex. H. Stephens, Ex-Gov. Smith and Ex-Gov.
