It is now about time for Stanley
.Mathews and Mr. Hayes other man-
tigers to hire some rough to make an un
successful effort to assassinate the de
facto President. But perhaps this
dodge is reserved for the frump card in

Good judges snv that John Sherman
stands a better chance for the Republic-
nomination in 1880, for president, than
Grant does. If Sherman’s money

‘We have closely watched the ac
counts of the transactions on resump
tion day and subsequently. There was
little or no demand for gold, and prac
tically resumption existed only in name,
All the long years of suffering by the
poor, business depression, and bank
ruptcy have been brought about to
compass a financial end that was not
desired and that business men refused
to take advantage of. The cautions
and shrewd schemers only tried resump
tion as an experiment, and as a means
of making political capital, and a
most costly thing has it been to the
prosperify'and interests of the conntry.
We have only the name of resumption
for the very people even who clamored
so loudly for it have refused to take ad
vantage of it. Gold is as much a cu
riosity as it was in 1SG5. The new sil

pensation to loyal persons only belong
to one of three classes; either these who
were secret enemies of the South, or
open traitor* to their States daring the
War, or thoae Who perjwr* theraselve*
to appear such’. A large majority of
the claims are for fabulous amounts—
ten times more than the claimants ever
dreamed of owning before this great
door for fraud was opened. While
these rascals riot iu their corrupt gains,
the true, nob® devoted poople of the
South are.all dwbared- from making any
claims under the ban of disloyalty. We
hope the chum business will not be
further extended, especially as the
olakae of those loyal oitiaena who ooao
ia at this late day are sure to be fraud
ulent, aad hi every respect unworthy of
payment. Another thing—by the
working of the claim law one who had
a proper claim for a small amount wus
shut out by the great expense oi pros
ecuting it aud consequently nearly all
ihosewho relieved the benefit of the bill
were those who had so magnified their
losses as to make the raid on the treas
ury worth looking after.
It is time for Congress to draw the
line againts these loyal war claimants;
or make reparation for the great rob-
ery committed since the war by the
collection of millions of unconstitution
al cotton tax.
igin and its ravages have been traced
by the St. Petersburg Golos with con
siderable care. According to this jour
nal the epidemic appeared in the Cos
sack village of of Yetlyan Stanitza soon
after the return of two Cossack regi
ments from the war in Asia Minor, and
was very likely brought over with their
old clothes and rags. It is well known
that there were many cases of typhus
in these regiments daring the war, but
has also been ascertained that during
their return homeward no one was at
tacked by the disease. Prior to their
homeward march the Cossacks’ clothes
and other effects were disinfected and
well smoked; but probably the men did
not expose all their rags and booty to
that process, and thus many articles re
mained infected. The report regarding
the appearance of typhus was received
by the Cossack authorities toward the
end of November. An army surgeon
was at once dispatched to Yetlyanka,
He returned with the news that there
was no typhus, but there were slight
attacks of ague and febriuula. Several
days passed by, when suddenly news
was brought of frightful mortality in
the Stanitza. From fifteen to twenty
persons died every day among the pop
ulation of six hundred. By December
10 the mortality bad increased. There
died among the rest, the doctor of the
Astrakhan Regiment; the priest met
with the same fate, and his wife and
children running away from fear; severr
al of the local chiefs were also attack
ed, The Cossack population were
seized with a’punic; they ceased to ap
proach the sick, aud fc-ared to bury the
dead. It is reported that the dead bod
ies lay for days in the street, with a
slight covering of hay thrown over
them. At last the indabitants reached
the conclusion that the disease was not
typhus, but the plague.

RESUMPTION IN MULES.
After several years of quiet the mule
trade has resumed in earnest, and a
good broke mule is now a legal tender
for.one hundred to one hundred and
forty dollars. The number sold in
Perry, aud other places in this section
of the State, is unusually large this
winter, and droves continue to arrive
every day or two. So far our merchants
have been the principal importers and
far the larger part has been sold on time.
The traveling traders have been fre.
qaently in town, but they generally sell
at wholesale for cash, and make their
visits of short duratisn. The swell
airs and scientific, well rounded oaths
of the good feeling jockeys are rarely
ever heard in the land; aud all the trav
eling traders who come among us have
a subdued, religious air, well adapted
to the profession universally recognized
as being peculiarly one where truth
and honor are the talismanic words that
lead to success.
President McMahon, of France, has
never been at hi art a republican. He
was a M;trshal of the Empire and Duke
of Magenta; and all his sympathies and
interests were with the Imperialists-
He was elected president by a combi
nation of all the enemies of the repab-
liean, but has had diplomatic skill
enough to maintain the integrity of bis
office for nearly four years.—The final
conflict with the assembly which led to
his resignation'was caused by his nom
inating noted Imperialists to the most
important commands in the army: The
new president, M. Greyy, is thoroughly
in sympathy with the republic, and
France will doubtless enjoy political
harmony for a few years.
