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 Watch man. 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 the guilty parties to justice. 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.

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 standard silver is and shall be eqitiva eDt 10 grains of gold in its pur cb»»» n g and debt-paying power and iu S,an,! -V sihor ' Vil1 bt> 0D « P ar ‘ if 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. e d them uuder the .xpiess stipulatior that thev were to be paid in United states coin, gold or silver, t us then standard value, and at! th s wi.ituua to makt . goIll snd , iht requ. .. to m.,kc 410 graill8 ol - n»i in the markets of ihe wort*, 10 ;old, is for congress to put siiv t r mux "1 he list of the moneys of th.

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.
