Ii is now stated upon good authority
that the coming message will deal with
the currency question almost exclusive¬
ly. A prominent Treasury otliciul said
a few days since that the President had
been calling upon that department lor
all sorts of information. The retire¬
ment of the greenbacks lias been deter¬
mined on and every effort of the ad¬
ministration will lie bent ill that diree
tion. li is said that the President will
rnecontmend state banks so as to head
off silver in the South. National

Governor Atkinson has offered a re¬
ward of sj,->nn for the Hist party convict¬
ed of having a hand in the lynching of
Prof. Perdue in Montgomery county.
It is understood that there is much cx
cilemriii in Montgomery county over
the affair and the relatives and friends
of the professor are going to bring th«
matter before the grand jury w hen it
meets, December !>ih, and that they
have clews to the identity of some ol
the parties implicated. The governor’s
offer of a reward of SoOO will it is be¬
lieved, aid very matt rialy in hrirgiug

Congress convened on Monday of
this week. Thomas 15. Reed, of Maine,
was elected Speaker of the House of
Representatives, There were four
candidates foi Speakership, and the re¬
sult of the vote stood Reed, 231; Crisp,
ti.‘>; Hell, ti; Culberson 1. Of course it
is apparent that the present Congress
will lie organized and controlled by the
Republican faction, they being largely
in the majority.
It is intimated that Speaker Reed
will not exercise that arrogant spirit
that he did four years ago, when he
tilled the Speaker's chair, as he is now
aspiring to the 1 'resiliency, and in
order to get the endorsement of the
Demo-Repuldieo support he will curb
that spirit that caused him to be dubbed
the Oar.
A Thanksgiving Incident.
While the people of her town were
feasting and giving thanks last Thurs¬
day ;» respectable woman in East
Wheeling, W. Va., died of starvation.
The dead woman was found in bed
with scarcely enough clothing to cover
her. There was neither food nor fuel
in the house— nothing but two chairs
and a straw bed. Upon investigation
it was found that the woman had eaten
nothing for days.
The unfortunate had moved to East
Wheeling from another town and had
been unable to secure employment.
lYrliaps she was too proud to beg, or
it mav be that she was unsuccessful.
At am rate she died of starvation in
this land of plenty, and a Thanksgiving
suu dawned upon a pauper's corpse
ready for the potter's field.
It is discreditable to our civilization
that people who are willing to work for
their bread sometimes meet with such
a fate.—Atlanta Constitution.

ALEX STEPHENS ON SILVER.
National Hotel. Washington, P. < ..
January 2 d, lSgfi,—Mr. II IX Harrows,
Los Angeles, Cal. My Dear Sir: Your
letter of the 1 4th instant with enclosed
slips was received this evening. Allow
me to thank you for it. The subject is
one of the gravest that now
the attention of congress and the think
mg men throughout the United States
'Die reason that silver huillion has been
depreciated since 1871! in this country
is flint congress in rchruary, Its,,,.
struck silver from the lists of money of
the United States. The moment that
ibis act of congress was passed gold
was made the only legal standard of
values in this country. That was a
great error and was attended with in
Unite mischief in the United States.
In 17'J2 Mr. Hamilton and the
otic statesmen of that day recognized
in our coinage the himetallic system of
silvn'as money; that is, hejand they recognizi d
money as well as gold at the
«■«•« o .. about . -ixieen parts of a Ivc as
equ.yalent to ol gold. I nder tins
rcgulalion and coinage we wee pros
I ,( 1 Hl m iU1 srr ,v,ts ( e
,, i' , ‘l **■ *’ tin
r.|uivalent to gold at the ratio stated,
silver in the markets ol the world was
at a pioniium over gold. It is useless
to go into reasons why this change was
adopted in our system or by what tin
seen hands it was efiected. llie true
policy of this country is to return to the
system of our fathers. If the govern
ment should now, as it ought to, re -
trace its steps and provide for the free
coinage of silver as it does of gold :ind
make 412 1-2 grains of standard silver
equivalent to 2 . r »- 8 -tenth grains of gold
then silver would immediately return
to its original dignity in the markets of
the world : h purchasing and debt,-pay
in"- power. This is the real function
of money and in this country this
equality in this function at the ratio
stated should ho maintained. •
The debts and bonds of the United
States provided for payment in gold
or silver coin at Ihe then standard
value; it was a great wrong to the tax¬
payers on whom rests the payment of
the public debt to strike silver from the
list of money as was done in 18715. It
was that blow which changed the
values of the property of the United
States. More than half of the money
of the world was at that time silver.—
The whole amount in the world in bs7.’>
was estimated at $ 8 , 000 , 000 , 000 ; ol
these $4,500,000,000 were silver and
$.'1,500,000,000 were gold in round uuiii
beis. The ruinous consequences which
attended this bad act of administration
were seen in the failures of mercan.ilt
houses and business men amounting to
more than hall the public debt ot the
1 oiled States within the lust nine
years. Now, I am for the free coinage
of silver bullion just as of gold. Go d
and silver should be put upon a perfect
equality as of yore in the ratio of lt> to
1. This would not only add to tin
value of real estate and all sorts ot
property in the United States, but it
would greatly encourage and stimulate
the mining of silver in this country. In
my view all the gold and silver that
can be produced to our mints should he
coined alike. The coin should be kept
in the vaults of the treasury «nd
certificates of it given in all
eases where certificates are preferred.
These coin certificates should be. the
currency of the country; it would be
the best iu the world. In this age we
do not wish to burden with the weight
of either gold or silver in ordinary
ness transactions extending to distant
places in the country, but we do want
a paper currency which is redeemable
at the will of the holder in <oin dollar
for dollar. Hank bills which are so
common in use arc only promises to
pay in coin and arc often issued in
amounts of two sometimes to three for
one of coin in the vaults; but under the
plan advocated by me the certificates
would in no case represent anything
but dollar for dollar.
I haven't time to say more fo von
now. 1 will barely add that the pres
ent depreciation of silver bullion ami of
the silver standard dollar arises solely
from the degradation of silver by act oJ
congress . iu IS,.L Ixit congress
a * ought to, that 412 1-2 grains of

above par, compared with gold.
To increase the quantity of silver in
the present dollar of 412 1-2 grains up
to 4 n> grains, to make it equivalent to
the present current value of 25t£10
grains of gold would be a great wroug
to the laboring masses in the union
whose taxes have to meet the public
debt: the holders of the public debt at
the time Ihev received the bonds receiv.

lately made a report to the house of

Answer. —From your description
your cattle have died of authras,
a disease known in different lo
r calities as “bloo u‘ murrain.” "'black
‘ black ton aga,’’ “charbon,” etc.
It is a common q ease, attacking not
only cattle, but oi er animals as well.
I remember in Iff wueu the “black
tongue,” as it w£ called, swept over
Florida and ^ Soutf Georgia, killing a

The causes of this disease are usually
traceable to stagnant ditches, swamps,
ete the water in wh en has been low
erod by a long period of drouth, also to
food or water that b.as bo-su tainted
with docayiu-j animal or vegetable m it
tor and contagion Tue diseaie is most
common in flat districts, where during
dry seasons ponds and pools of stag

years of age.
In this disease, prevention is better
than euro, as there is little hope of sav
ingauauimal after the disease is cou
tracted, a lew hours usually bringing
a fatal termination Three drachm
doses of chlorate of potassium, dissoiv
ed in water an l given every three hours
is good treatment, and if the animal is
weak give in addition whiskey and qui¬
nine.
Change the pasture at once, when this
disc ise appears, toons on higher ground
»f pusible, and with pnrar water. Sep¬
arate the sick animals f rom the rest.
liury deeply all cattle that die, or bet
ter still, barn the carcasses.
The sheds or stables whore animals
have been confined should be thorough¬
ly cleaned and spriuklsMi v h, |gick
time, and the woodwork, xiyals, etc.,
washed with a solution of cbhorida of ,
lime, four ouuces to a gallon of wator,
This disease can be**contracted bv man,
there r ore great oare should be taken in
handling a sick auiuial or a dead car¬
cass, as a scratch or sore ou the hands
might be the means of causing inocula
lation. After any exposure the hands
should be washed with a weak solution
o' carbolic acid.
