The Accusation against Webster.

The bunker presses have kept up a continual
howl, for week or more, over their idol, the er-
God-like Senator from Massachusetts, and present
Secretary of State, and endeavor to rebut the char
ges that still lie against him. by getting up an issue
upon an entirely different matter. The public does
not care any thing about what Mr. Otis said to Mr.,
Greedy, or what Mr.. Haven said to both of these
gentlemen. If question of veracity is raised be-
tween them, it is for them to settle it as best they
may But there stands the Secretary, under these
charges They are not to be disproved by any per
sons or parties assertions, that they knew nothing
about the understanding that Mr.. Webster had with
his friends 1t is not what a witness does not know,
but what he does know, that is wanted to disprove
charge like this. Judge Allen, in his remarks in the
House, made no reference to either of the gentle
men whose names and statements are paraded in
the Hunker newspapers He made the charges
without equivocaton or evasion. He said if they
were denied he would "meet them acith proof, that
he ready for the issue soheneuer and achereuer
made !; and that all that he asked ,oas, that the
Secretaries friends should not resist Investigation,
but gire him an opportunity TO bring forward the
facts
The secretary's friends resisting investigation;
they are endeavoring to cloak over Daniel Websters
iniquity, by resort to the meanest subterfuges.
They dare not deny the truth of those charges, and
call for the proof; for they know when the proof is
produced, that the unanimous verdict tie county
will be, guilty, GUILTY, GUILTY.
The advertiser Of yesterday, in order to stave
off the point at issue, publishes letter purportng to
have been written by Mr. Webster to Mr. Haven,
prior to the funeral of the late President as the one
upon which the charges brought against the Secreta-
ry, are based; but in that letter, Mr. Webster dis
tincy states that Cabinet appointments had been
naGde whereas Judge Aliens statement was in these
words. ".4fter Mr. Webster received the offer of
an appointment TO has present office, he aorote to
Boston, for the purpose Of ascertaining qohat vould
be done for ham in respect to pecuniGry matters
OF course, any man but fool could see that this
letter of Websters written prior his appointment
according to his own statement, is no evidence
against the truth Oft the charges.
That letter was probably intended as feeler only.
IT Mr.. Webster's friends are really in earnest in
their professions of disbelief in thoA-s--t IS tl.o
turPi[ude OF the Secretary, why do they bore the
pubic with these letters and denals which have
nothing to do with the case, and keep back the i'm
portant facts? We pause for reply.

The Webster Bribe

Mr. Greeley and Mr.. Otis have united in joint
statement concerning the conversation which they had
in company with Mr.. Haven, on the subject Of Mr..
Webster's going into the Cabinet. The Traveller saws
that il don't sustain Mr.. Aliens position. We don't see
the necessity for any such statement The main fact
charged by Mr.. Allen is admitted by all the whie news.

The Boston Daily Advertiser expressly admits that the
sum was raised, aud Gays that it has not heard denied
L. NJ Sergeant, in his supidalegory IN the TranscriD
relative to this subject, makes the same admission. or
what consequence is it, then, whether Mr.. Otis did or
did not hear certain conversation 3? Judge Alien,

HEBREW EXEMPTION FROM CHoLERA-A
report of the London Board of Health, drawn up
for committee of the House Of Commons, is filed
with strange and interesting statistics concerning
that mysterious disease. To one incident recorded
in its pages, will venture to draw the attention
OF our readers When the cholera was raging in
London, some twelve months ago, it was frequently
remarked by the newspapers that the Jews were.
strangely enough, exempt from the disease. The
reports were considered as idle rumors, and fire.
quently contradicted but it now appears that out of
over 20, 900 of those chosen people, besides 1000
Portuguese, only thirteen of cholera occurred.
/ and the same immunity observable during the
epidemic OF 1882 These people, too, it must be
observed, inhabit, for the most part the foues and
most unhealthy portion of the metropolis
How is such fortunate exemption to be account
ed for? 1t has never been supposed, we believe,
that any superior morality on the part of the He
brews entitled them to special favors nor, az n
class, have they generally been exempt from full
share of suffering and persecution. The causes are
simple enough, when explained as they are by the
Board of Health and the facts they disclose convey
an impressive and useful moral. The lower classes
of Jews, however poor they may be, never crowd
more than one family into the same room whereas
among the lower orders Of other communities -es-
peciay the lrish-several families "pig together
In one apartment. Again, the Jews, as class are
not given 10 the abuse of intoxicating liquors One
of the commissioners of inquiry says ''I have had,
during the last twenty years, much intercourse with
the Jews, and cannot recall to mind single in
stance of drunkenness in any family have visited.
In virtue Of their religion, they are particular in their
food All shell fish is avoided, and the meat ex
posed for sale is inspected by an officer appointed
for the purpose and if any disease is found, it is
condemned. Sabbath rest, Is for the most part
strictly observed. The Jews are unable, from re-
iglous motives, to enter the workhouse and the
poor, comparatively few in number, are relieved by
the more wealthy of their own persuasion. Re-
lleving officers inquire into distress, which being re-
lleved, extreme destitution is avoided The Pass
over enjons every Jew to have his house thoroughly
ceansed annually, and the rooms of the lower class
es are annually lime. washed" There is an in-
structive lesson here for those who will take it,
