Health of Mobue.-The number Of interments the
past week has been only hiryfre To all appearance
this is abatement Of the epidemic though the
opinion of many that is only for the Of subjects.
The cause Of the disease no doubt still exists and
only be removed by frost; and should strangers
presumplucusy TO the city, and absent citizens
return there is not the least doubt but the sickness
would again return upon with renewed violence.
We therefore admonish all who absent, think
of returning the city until they be satisfied that
the cause Of the dsease itself is removed. We think
there will DO but little suffering from sickness, if
keep people abroad from coming to the city for
q few weeks longer.

The National lntelligencer Of Thursday
says, that the President was escorted bv a
large number of citizens preceded by the ma
Hne band. This is gratuitous assertion on
the part Of the editors Of that Journal. We
lake it for granted that they must have been
imposed upon by some careless looker-on, or
they would not have ventured the remark
The procession was composed Of Office
holders and persons employed on the public
buildings and we could show, if necessary,
hat there were not twenty citizens proper Of
Washington either in the procession or on
the ground The editors of the Intelligent
Ger have been residents Of this city for near
Iy forty years, and a glance at the group
could no, have failed to show that what we
assert is the fact.

Never was there greater farce exhibited

holders, and employees on the public build

Individual in it, appeared ashamed of himself

appearance of rebuke. for months wasted in
partisan harangues, rather than welcome
back to the neglected duties of his station.
In this affair as in all others where this par
" is concerned, the silk stocking democracy
threw their humber, but more honest, bre-
thren (thc working men) in the shade, and
hence there was neither that harmony nor
unity Of purpose for which the Destrucnves
are. generally characterized Atthe cars the
President threw himself into the embrace Of
two Bank Directors and the President of

But all was cold and formal-there were no

man cried God bless him---no JOYFUL tongue

Of the French soldiers buried in the SHOWS OF
Moscow, been conjured upon earth, they
could not have presented a colder or more in
animate spectacle, than this procession.
--- " They spake not word,
But like dumb statues or breathless stones
Stared on each other and looked deadly pale"
1t was altogether apoorer effort than was

IN that case, some ten voices did cry /" God
sare King Richard;" but in this, there was
no cheering-the countenances of all wore
sombre and funereal aspect; and yet the Globe

Mr.. CLARK's LErTER.--We grace our
columns, this day, with the admirable letter
Of the Hon. John @. Clark. II cannot be too
carefully read or extensively circulated The
papers containing il should be passed from
hand to hand until every man in the country
has read il. 1t plain, straight forward, and
strong. Mr.. CLARK is man of experience.
His opinions deserve great consideration,
owing to his peculiar position. He was
supporter Of Gen. jackson and his admins
tration. He aided in the elevation of Mr.. Van
Buren, to the office Of President. He was
elected TO Congress by the friends Of Mr..
Van Buren,. He desired to continue on with
that party. All his sympathies were with that
party. But when MIR. Van Buren, proposed
his Sub-treasury plan at the extra session Of
Congress in 1897, Mr.. CLARK, with many
others of his political friends, revolted at il -
He knew il was corrupt measure. He knew
It would desolate the country. He knew that
the whole Jackson party, including Mr. Pan
Baren himselc we're against it in 1884. He
knew that the Globe, the organ of the admi-
nistration at Washington. then denounced il
as disorganization and revolutionary" and
as project that would place the revenue OF
the country within the reach Of a hundred
hands where one could not then reach it,
For this, he was denounced and prescribed by
all the blood hounds of faction, from one ex-
tremity Of the Union to the other. For this,
he was nobly, triumphantly sustained By his
constituents. And now, after the lapse Of an
other year, he speaks again. LET HIM BE
HEARD. .
