From recent investigations, and from the
examinations Of blood obtained ;f=1m children
affected with the alarming disease diphtheria,
1t seems to be q diseased tbs blood manifest
ing itself generally in the throat, and; to be
caused By want of the preserving element,
common salt. This result was obtained from
examining tie blood Of segernl persons suffer
ing from diEhtleria, and in each case, a less
quantity Of common salt was found than be-
longs in healthy blood, and upon inyestiga-
ton # has been found that in thirty families
in which diphtheria has prevailed, or is now
prevailing, food containing but little salt had
been used for some time previous to the at
tack Of the disease. lam informed by IN NJ. D.
who has given much attention to this subject,
that multitude Of facts could be arraycd to
snbstantiate this theory, but it belongs not to
the pen Of a lady to array them, my object is
to Stimulate Investigation in regard to this
dreadful disease diphtheria, and to call the at
tention Of parents and guardians Of children

Secretary Chuse"s Financial
Measure

Secretary Chase's financial scheme is before
the Ways and Means Committee. Bankers
and capitalists can rely upon the following
synopsis Of its provisions: The first section
repeals the provision Of the act of July last,
which allows lcgal-tender notes 10 be con
yerted at any time into $50 six per cent.
bonds. The second section authorizes the
Seeretary to borrow nine hundred millions in
any Of the modes heretofore authorized for
making loans. This section is exceedingly
general in its language, authorizing the Seere-
tary to borrow six per cent. bonds or 80
Treasury notes to any amount within the
above sum that he may deem necessary to car
~ on the government It is SO general in its
character that MI. Chase may be able to issue
under it legal tender notes. The third sec
ton authorizes him TO issue fractional parts
Of a dollar, in tic form Of bank bills, in lieu
Of the present postal currency. All the re-
naming sections, up to forty or fifty, are
filed with the details Of the banking scheme
which he presented to the public in his annual
report. This scheme is urged on the Com
mittee of Ways and Means in these words:
%sIfec1 1nysrlf constrained to commend to the
most favorable consideration Of the Committee
the sections of the bill providing for the orsaniz
ton Of banking associations. 1layno stress upon
details hut cannot express too strongly my .nse
of the importance of the measure itself. Under
existing Liquidation it is next to impossible to COL
lcct the internal revenue in lawful money Of the
United States, and see no ground for belief that
the funds necessary for the pay Of the army and
the prosecution OF the war can he in any way pro-
yiaed without the support ofpublic credit, except
from that measure.
Mr. Chase's bill also strikes ont every pro-
vision Of the law prepared at the last session,
and which is now pending before the Ways
and Means, relating to existing banks in States,
except that he aims to impose tax Of two
per cent. per annnm on their circulation. The
majority Of the Ways and Means Committee
are owned and controlled by the debt manu-
factories called Banks, and are hostile to any
measure for raising money, that intcrferes

The Interview with the Presi-
dent.

IRON the Philadelphia Press, Dec. r..
According to all accounts, the CAUCUS Of the
Republican Senators, Ike their subsequent
interviews with the President Of the United
States, and all the members Of his Cabinet,
with single exception, Was decorous and pa
trlotic. There was no attempt ut dictation on
the part Of the Senators, and no manifestation
Of irritation on the part Of the President and
his Cabinet. The suggestions Of the Senators
we're presented and enforced with dignity, and
the spirit from which they sprung was that Of
q single and unanimous purpose-to sustain
the government in its great trials and comp1i-
cations, and to recommend the necessity Of
frequent confidential and free consultations
between the Executive and his Cabinet, and
the great coordinate branch Of Congress,
which, in harmony with the Constitution and
the experience Of The past, is consulted upon
every great measure. Ono Of the secrets Of
the strength Of the most popular Administra-
tons Of other days was the frequency with
which the Executive conferred, not only with
the Representatives Of the people, but tho
Senators in Congress.

The news that ex-Gov Wood Of Quincy, in
