UNITED STATES CONSUL AT HASANA.-AHn
view of our present difficulties at Havana,
it is a legitimate subject of inquiry why
Judge Sharkey, our Consul at that port
is not at his post. He was appointed by
the present administration. and the coun-
try had right to expect that in times Oh
nerI to our commercial interests IN that
Quarter. our Consul should be present to
9uard them. We see by recent advices.
fhat Captain Porter, the commander
the Crescent City, was put to some trou-
BILE, and subjected to some delay py isa
SON of the Consuls absence from the CITY
of Havana. Judge Sharkey, 1t appears
i now in this country, and does lot pur-
nose leaving until November Mr.;
Moreland. the Acting Consul, is an Old
gentleman, who, although born in the
limited States, has resided in Cuba Tor
forty wears. He is very amiable and
kind man, but entirely untitled by reason
of age and infirmity to meet such emer-
gencies as have arisen Another source
of great inconvenience to persons having
business at the Consulate, Is the tact that
Mr.. Moreland resides at some distance IN
the country. 1t was never contemplated
by our government, that person apPoin-
ted to responsible and lucrative ONCE
such as Judge Sharkey holds, should re-
ceive its emoluments without attending 70
its duties. This is not the tirst time that
American citizens have suffered, IN that
port from such eulpable negligence.

AFFAIRS AT CUBA-If the reports re-
ceivsd here be correct, still another out
rage upon our interests and our honors
has been perpetrated by the authorize,
of Cuba. The Crescent City, when last
at Havana, was not allowed to communi-
cate with the shore, and boats filled with
police surrounded the steamer. Captain
Porter was not permitted to visit the
American Consulate to enter his protest.
But what is still more aggravating, il
the fact that the authorities afterwards
brought Mr.. Moreland, the Acting Con-
cul like prisoner, alongside of vessel
bearing our flag, bit ,couId not permit hin,
to 90 on 6oarH This is, truly, high
handed assumption of power. A Consul
of the United States hindered from enter.
ing one of our own ships!
We merely mention these things as
items of news, knowing that no unneces-
sary alarm will be created /; for we have
recently received so many insults to our
flag that we are all getting used to it, and
are beginning to look upon it as matter
of course.
We have great confidence in the patri-
otism of the present National Administra-
fion; and by giving them plenty of time,
say to the fourth day of next March-we
have every hope that affairs will be made
right, and the honor of the Republic vim

TIE CHoLERA-It will be recollected
that the cholera suddenly broke out in
this city about two weeks ago, and that
among the dozen cases which occurred
inside of two days. no less than seven
proved fatal. ! 1t is no less remarkable
that nearly all the meatpurchased on that
morning, in market, tainted and refused
to keep twenty-four hours, despite all the
salt that could be heaped upon it, This
was generally so over the entire city, and
goes to show that the direful disease most
certainly lurked in the atmosphere. Du-
ring the rage of this fearful epidemic in
1889. the same observation was made IN
Montreal, and to test the matter, piece
Of fresh beef was drawn up TO the spire of
the Cathedral, where finding purer cur
rent of air than below, it kept two-thirds
longer. This reflection, perhaps, may
excite further investigation on the part of
the medical faculty, which if it does, may
be turned TO some useful purpose Vice

The Cause of scott,s Defeat.

The Richmond Wing ascribes General
SCOTS defeat to the abolitionists and free
soilers voting for Pierce.
We would ask the editor of the Wing
if it was abolition votes that gave Pierce
so large a majority in Virginia? fit was
the Observation-Disclosures thatgave Pierce the
States of Maryland, Delaware, North Car
DINA, Kentucky, Louisiana, Georgia and
Florida? All Southern Wing States
Or was it not, rather, abolition votes that
gave Scott the States of Massachusetts,
and Vermont? The former of which
practically nullifed the Fugitive Slave
Law in the rescue of the fugitive Crafts,
and the latter, by her Legislature, decla-
red the same law unholy and unbinding,
and passed laws calculated to render it
ineffective. These two, the most uncom
promising anti-slavery States in the I'm
ion, constitute SCOTS strength, as it is
not yet certain that he has carried Ten
nessee by-ever so small majority.
The editor of the Wing should recol-
Iect that Figures won't lie," while his
own reputation for veracity is not quite so
we'll established, and he must not, there
fore, think hard if people attach more
weight to them than to his assertions.

weighing and dividing cattle, lot of
colts approached his coat which was

by German woman named Mrs. King,
who returned it to the owner. She open
ed the pocket book, examined it, and de-
clared that Mrs. King had taken $40 OF
the money. The latter seemed much
confused, snd denied it. Mrs. Bolton
then threatened that she would have her
arrested and searched, when Mrs. King
fell dead at her feet. The death was as
sudden as has ever been known. Mrs
King was the wife of steamboat man,
and the mother of several children.

Removal OF Hon T. BUTLER KING
The Washington Union contains the fol-
lowing statement of facts in relation to
the removal of Hon. Thomas Butler King
from the collectorship of San Francisco,
California:
.. We learn that voluminous charges
were preferred some time since to the
President and Treasury Department,
against Mr.. King, the specifications of
which occupied upwards of thirty pages
of manuscript. These charges were of
such serious character as to demand the
prompt attention of the government. Be
sides them, difficulties existed in relation
to very large amount of public money
alledged by Mr.. Collier of New York, the
former collector, to have been received
by Mr.. King from him. Mr.. King was
appraised of the condition of things and
proffered his resignation as soon as he
could arrange the matters that caused
the trouble. But the government deem
ed that more emphatic course should be
pursued before the time he suggested for
his resignation had elapsed-and by the
steamer at the close of last September, or
the first of October, the treasury sent a
Superseded, of Mr.. King, with authority to
a Mr. Saunders, formerly of Bal more,
now in San Francisco, to take possession
of the public papers and public money 1T

the Atlantic with him. He expended it
in this country, in purchasing and making
munitions of war, by the manufacture Of
which he has given employment to large
number of his destitute countrymen. He
had for months nearly a hundred of them
employed in making cartridges alone
He expended it also in carrying on most
extensive and costly correspondence with
his agents in Europe, transmitting of course
his letters by private messengers, who
went at the risk of their lives. and had TO
be paid proportionably. and who, OF course
had to be amply furnished with money,
for emergencies. Every letter which KOS
suth sent to Hungary cost him on an ave
rage $500. The money that he raised
here was, of course, easily absorbed by
these expenditures, and with it, as iceknop,
was spent considerable sum belonging
to his wife, which her relatives in Hun
gary sent to her for her own use. but which
she gave to her husband for his cause

CONGRESS BooTs.-A singular topic for
a medical diScourSe-neverthele shoe
makers have discovered that tho patent
Congress boots and shoes which are kept
as tightly fitted to the ankles as boa
constructor would hold his prey, are inju-
rious. 1t would contribute, we think, a
formidable list, were some one to write
down all the swelled feet and dropsleal
limbs, made so be the use of these very
gracefully fitting, but objectionable India
rubber contrivances. They bind the veins
as closely as ligature for bleeding, and
therefore very seriously interrupt the func-
tons of the superficial vessels which are
under their unrelaxing pressure through
the day. The fact is undeniable that our
ancestors understood the art of being COM
Portable far better than ourselves. They
lived longer, and were freer from the thou
sandaches andpains with whichthe present
generation are familiar. Tight cravats,
gum-elastic carriers, ladies' under gar
ments are held up by cording the waist
to the injury of the vital apparatus, in
stead of suspending them from the
shoulders as they used to be; these have
been the beginning of thousands of cases
of sickness that have ended in premature
death. But the Congress boots are the
latest health destroyers, insidiously be-
ginning the work of destruction so low
down as to have long escaped observa-
ton, The utmost freedom should be gl-
ven to the vessels about the ankles, where
such variety of tubes and vessels are
into small space. If they
are unnaturally girded, and the flow of
fluids impeded, a disturbance in the sys-
tenn must follow; but the true cause i'll
instances has been overlooked.
