ELECTRIcITY.-A theory was advanced last
year, and supported with good deal of reason,
that the absence of thunder and lightning indu-
ced epidemics, especially the cholera. Instances
were quoted to prove it, and so conclusive did
they appear, that many were forced to believe it
true. The experience of the present year, so
far, goes to strengthen this belief as we have
had displays of tie electric fluid this season to an
extent almost without parallel, while at the
same lime, no cre can dispute that greater de-
gree of health never prevailed at this season Of
the year, in this section of the country. But,
though the antidote is a "lesser evil" vet the
great amount of damage done by it, proves that
though sanitary agent of the purcst character,
yet we should be prepared to receive the bencf-
cent rotations with propos care. For this reason
we would recommend to our citizens and coun-
try friends the services OF Mr.. f. TUCKER,
whose advertisement is in another column, and

Ma. DEMPsTzR's CoNCERT.--The few of our
citizens who had the pleasure of hearing Mr..
DEMPsTER sing, last Friday evening, enjoyed a
treat of no ordinary character. Plaintive and
affecting as most of his pieces are--sung with a
voice and a style of the richest melody-they
never fail to touch a tender spot in the bosom
with a feeling which true sentiment, aided by
choice music, will ever inspire. 1t was a re-,
mark ola wise man, that "give him the making
of the songs Of a country and he cared not who
made their laws" such was his opinion of this
divine influence and who that ever heard Mr..
Dempster could doubt that the more we could
hear of such singing, the less crime there would
be in the world? We believe it would be ut
terly impossible for person to leave his concert,
and do an act that would injure fellow man, or
tend to counteract the DEGREES of heaven.

Mexican indemnify.

We mentioned yesterday that nearly two
million Of dollars were, on Friday and a
part of Saturday, paid out at the Treasury
Department, on account of the indemnity
awarded under the treaty Of Guadalupe Hidal-
go by the late Board of Commissioners to claim
ants against Mexico. The arrangements for
discussing this large sum of money were, we
understand, confded by the Secretary to Mr..
GEORGE HARRrNGToN, the chief clerk of the
Treasury Department. Considering that more
than one hundred individuals presented them
selves as the recipients, and that the utmost
care was required in the transaction of this bust
ness, it was well said, by gentleman of large
experience in money matters, that no banking
house ever acted with more promptness, expe-
dition, and efficiency.
There are suspended claims, which must ne
cessarily be met as circumstances shall hereaf-
ter require.

General Putnam.


To the Editor Of the Republic:
Inyour paper, few days ago, read an article
entitled Evolutionary Errors, in which you speak
Of the fame Of General Putnam having been ably
vindicated few years ago by the Secretary Of
State.
Permit me to call your attention to the fact thai
the fame Of General Putnam to the charge Of
cowardice was triumphantly indicated in the
Port Folio. published in Philadelphia, and edited
at that time by John E. Hall, esq, in the year 1878
The editor says: "The animadversions on the char
acter of General Putnam in the account of the bat
tie of Bunker Hill, which we lately published, ex
cited in us not less pain than surprise. We had nc
hesitation in publishing the article, because the
charge was made openly, and we thought it should
not be confined to the circle in which General
Dearborn may fight his battles DER again.
Then follows the reply by Daniel Putnam, csc.
son of the General. In calling your attention to
this fact, it is certainly not my intention dcpre-
ciate in any way the article TO which you allude,
but to show the fact that the original REPUTATION OF
the ISLANDERS upon General Putnam fret appeared

.sThe Presidents message, at the opening the
present session of Congress, expresses fully and
plainly his own and the unanimous opinion Of all
those associated with him in the Executive admin
.istration of the Government, in regard to what
ARE called the Adjustment or Compromise mea-
.sures of last session That opinion is, that those
measures should be regarded in principle as
final settlement of the dangerous and exciting
subjects which they embrace; that though they
were not free from imperfectons, yet, in their
mutual dependence and connexion, they formed
a system of compromise the most conciliatory
and best for the entire country that could be OBJ
tanned from conflicting sectional interest and
opinions, and that therefore they should be ad-
hered to, until time and experience should de-
monstrate the necessity of further legislation to
guard against evasion or abuse. That opinion SO
sfa- as know, remains entirely unchanged, and
will be acted upon steadily and decsively. The
psace of the country requires this; the security of
the Constitution requires this; and every conside
ration of the public good demands this If the
Administration cannot stand upon the principles

Turbot.

A naturalist has sent the following commu-
nication to the editor of the Newport .Mercuz
in regard to the ''so-called turbot,' said to have
been taken recently In our waters. The natu-
ralist dates from Boston:
ssAmong the various fiat. fish of Massac husetts
one species has long been known by the fishermen
under the above name and considered identical
with that of England. Epicures have also labored
under the same mistake; sometimes even taking
the trouble, as did often the late Captain Sturgis
of visiting Provincetown and other famed localities
on Cape Cod that they might feast on the sh them
selves had caught.
"When, however, by order of our Legislature,
Dr. Storcr Of this city began the preparation of his
report upon the chthyology of the State, the true
character of the fish discovered. and it proved
distinct from the foreign species. resembling more
nearly the so-called 'brilP of the English coast.
From this, however, it also differs. This report
was published in lS39s DR.. S. had previously ex-
pressed doubts cohoerning the identity of the spe-
cles In communt -ation to the Boston Natural His
tory Society, in 1897, and published in the fret
volume of the Society's Journal
"In a Synopsis Of the Fishes of North America, ,
published in the Memoirs of the American Acade-
my Of Arts and Sciences for 1886, DR.. Storer goes
farther, and declares our turbot to be the same as
the one found in the waters of New York. and de-
scribed by Dekay in his State Report. So that il
ranges from Massachusetts to New York, and
ought accordingly to be found along the interven-
ing coast esa
that of the English turbot 10 Rhonsbus Marimus
and of the English brill X. Vulgaris. So that the
two latter are not only dstinct species from the
first, but even belong to another genus.
ut has at various times been brought to our
market alive by enterprising fishermen, and meets
with ready sale as the genuine turbot"

Another Victim 70 sr.v,.

The steamer st. Anthony, says the St. Louis
Republican, struck snag near the St. Charles
bar on the 9th instant, and sank over her main
deck. She was heavily freighted by the Gov
eminent, destined for St. Joseph, and not in.
sured. In reference to this, and the frequen,
similar disasters, the Republican says:
"From the number Of boats lost this spring from
similar causes on the Ohio, Mississippi, and Mis-.
souri, rivers, 1t would seem AZ though the very
snags in those rivers had risen up in judgment
against the Locofoco party for having defeated the
River and Harbor Appropriation bill. How long
will the West endure such rank injustice at the
hands Of their own unworthy and treacherous rep
resentatives"
