MARYLAND UNIvERsITY-Professor Potter
en- Tuesday evening, an interesting
lecture on the subject of Contagion,
at the chemical lecture room of the University.
The ground assumed was in opposition to the
idea of the contagion Of Cholera, Yellow Fever,
or any Of the varieties of Typhus. He condemn
ed all quarantine regulations, and the establish
ment of pest-houses, as vain precautions. Con-
tagIous diseases, he said, were known by one in
variable concomitant; they never attacked the
same individual but once; if ON the first exhibi
| ton Of the disease the whole system had beer
thoroughly pervaded by the virus. Epidemics
such as the plague, cholera, yellow fever, &c
Sc, are never communicated simply by persona
contact, but are taken, in peculiar states Of tn,
atmosphere, where the individual has a predis
position to the disease. No mere physical con
tr.vance can keep away this vitiated atmosphere
and all regulations for such purpose, the Pro
fessor pronounced useless. But one eminen
physician in the world, he says, now entertain
the idea Of the contagion of yellow fever.
The venerable Professor is still warra in hi
devotion to medical science. Forty years az
he raised his voice against the prevailing idea 0
the centagion of epidemies, and he now lives t.
see his well supported theories received by near
ly all the enlightened physicians of Europe ant
Aaerica.

arrested Yesterday One is connected with the
carbine used by BARNES, the value of which,
from its rich ornaments, rendered it difficult TO

affair, has also been taken again into custody"

FIRES IN MANCHEs-
TER

Manchester Saturday Euening, 10 O'clock
This evening, about five o'clock, one of the most
alarming fires took place here that has occurred
for many years past. 1t commenced in the cot
ten and twist warehouse of Mr. John Shawcross,
Half-moon street, and which ragged with undimin-
ished fury for about three hours. Besides Mr.
Shawcross's warehouse and shop, those of Mr.
Matchett, cotton-merchant, and Messrs. Hilton,
paPer-mal5crs, were completely destroyed, with
their respective stocks. The supposed loss is es-
timated at 100000, but whether che parties are
fully insured, insured at all, is matter of doubt,
time not allowing to make the inquiries in the
proper quarter. The narrow street in which
the property was placed, as well as the narrow-
Of the avenues leading to it, rendered it i'm
possible for the fre-engine force to be of the
least service. The contiguity of the principal
haberdashers' shops in ST. Ann's-square, was
cause of great alarm to the respective owners
and tenants, and considerable damage has been
done to the stocks of many parties in the attempt
to save them, the parties fancymg that the flames
could not be arrested within any moderate linn
its. At nine o'clock all further danger was
over.

IN vain TO pretend that with specie currency,

Of specie currency. Nobody will be benefited

be no more prosperity in American commercial

said that the banks have caused the deficiency ;
the banks have been discarded since May, 1897,
and now are completely divorced from the Go

have we seen the Presidents Message and the
Secretary's Report on this subject, belied by
their demands upon Congress, They told US
the expenses were TO be'reduced, and that there
would not b. any further necessity to borrow
money, and yet, twice since have they demand

from the banks, and married themselves to the
brokers. These notes are sold TO the brokers'

THE ARMY BILL.

The discussion, in the House OF Representa-
tives, of the bill making appropriations for the
support of the Army, was brought TO close on
Wednesday evening. The interesting and
highly animated debates Of the last few DAYS,
arose on the motion of Mr.. Jones, of Virginia,
to add TO the bill an appropriation, (not includei
IN the estimates Of The Department communi-
Gated at the beginning Of the session. Of $500,
600 for continuing the war in Florida
After powerful speech from Mr. Trpett, Of
Kentucky, in the course of which he presented
in strong light the extravaganza of the ex-
penditurcs during the Florida war, and exposed
the monstrous and despoic character Of the pro-
icct of a STANDING ARMY OF TWO HUNDRED
THOUSAND MEN, which was reported by the Sc
cretary of War, and recommended and endorsed
by the President of the United States, the
question was taken, and the amendment was
agreed to.
The Committee then rose and reported the
bill TO the House II was read third time and
PASSED.
Yesterday, it was taken up in the Senate
An amendment was offered of rather novel
character TO be appended 10 an ARMY BlLL !;
namely, proposition for making an appropra
ton for the outfit and salary Of charge f1E
faires 10 the Republic Of Texas. This item
was omitted from the Civil and Diplomatic Ap-
preparation Bill, by accident.
The bill, as amended, was ordered TO third
reading.

The discussion Of this amendment was re-
sumed yesterday and Mr.. Bell, Of Tennessee,
address sed the Committee AT considerable length,
and with uncommon eloquence and force, on
several subjects connected with the policy Of the
Administration in regard to the Indians. Mr..
BELL i always listened 10 with INTEREST," and
his clear and vigorous mind, enriched ny con

THE BILL TO SUPPRESS THE CIRCULA-

As the members of Congress are about to

they may take with them the souvenir we sub
JOIN and exhibit il to their constituents. We
wish both parties would do SO. We have here
toiore given our views Of the character of the
Bill, and will only now add that, in our opinion,
il will be looked upon in future times, as all
past experience now must look upon il, as one
Of the most daring assaults upon liberty that has
ever been dreamed fin North America! There
can be at no time, and in no country, any apology
for such law. unless n people were in a state Of
revolution, and martial law supreme. That a
Bill so preposterous should have received even
the support Of MIR. ROBINSON, Of Illinois, is sur
prsing. We believed tito have been conceived
in corruption, and brought forth in iniquity, and
we are well satisfied that one of the craftsmen
of the Bill was Amos Kendall. II should be put
on record by every Republican paper in the
country.
