~ Cincinnati is again excited over the Sum
day question. The repeal of the Sundy laws is
being agitated. Some days ago, one branch Of the
City Council voted to repeal the Sunday laws;
but ON subsequent day, the other branch Of the
Council refused to concur. So the question is open
to set people wild at the coming Fall election.

VIRGINIA DEMOCRATS URGED TO WORK FOR THE
NEGRO VOTE.-The conservatives of Virginia
can carry onehalf at least of the colored vote in
the State. They have all the appliances-they
possess the intelligence aud the property-and
nothing is wanting but the temper, the conde-
scension. and the industry. 1t is reproaeh to
their sagacity and their patriotism, too, if they
fail to do what is SO obviously their interest
and their duty. If they do not use the colored
vote, il will be used by their enemies. Policy
and patriotism alike dictate that should make
a strenuous effort to gain the confidence and CO.
operation Of the better portion Of the black pop
ulation. We have the arguments of ercry sort for
success. Let every Conservative go to work and
enlist as many colored voters as he can under his
standard. The negroes are proud and aristo-
cratic race, and they would greatly prefer an al
lance with white gentlemen to one with white
blackguaris- Kind and consderate treatment of
them by gentlemen will 90 far to win them. 1t
will be great good to break up the solid negro
vote: 1t will be good for the blacks and good
for the whites, and good. of course for the whole
monwealth.-RickmoRd Whig.

Money.

NEW YORK, August S-The chief features on
Wall street are the extraordinary abundance of
money, the buoyancy and advancing tendency Of
the stock Market and the continued influx of
European capital as permanent Investments in the
country. This afternoon another Utah silver mine
was bought by European capitalists for S750,OOO,
and the transaction was closed by telegram to-
tlay. On the street to-day the offerings Of money
ON call loans were over SIS 100000 at rates ran
ging from to 2} per cent, and but . small por-
ton could find employment. The Utah silver
mines, since their discovery, one year ago, have
produced $25 100000 in silver. The Colorado
mines are also proincing more gold than they
ever did, and with larger profit. The plethora of
money and low rates of interest here and in Europe
are the legitimate result of this annual enormous
addition to the gold and silver lawful money.
The present money imitation arises very much
from the creation Of new gold and silver money.
The buoyancy and advancing tendency ofprices ON
the New York Stock Exchange are, therefore,
the natural and logical result Of this money in
flation here and in Europe. The ocean cable tel
egraph has placed the European money markets
ms near to New York as Boston and Philadelphia
used to be. Call loans range from to per cent,
and time loans to per cent.-Chicago Tribune.

event OF a war with Great Britain. In thst event
we could not expect Canada to consent to a canal
from the River ST. Lawrence to Lake ChGmplain

How THEY VOTED IN TwEED's DIsTRICr.-
An eye witness says: The disgrscefui scenes
the rufianly assaults, the dishonest repeating,
fraudulent voting and final surrender Of the
ballot boxes in the Sixth Ward cannot be de-
scribed. | saw drunken men come into the
second voting precinct, not with Republican
votes, for such man would have been assaulted
IN three minutes, but with the ticket of the
Committee of Seventy, including O'Donovsn
Rosa, and lay them on the ballot boxes. saw
Edward Coppers, low, vulgar scoundrel, act
ing as Inspector, snap those votes of, and before
tho eyes of Michael Costello, the only Republic
can who dared to stsy in the room, deposit
others I saw four policemen conniye st these
frauds saw thief after thief come in, whom
Mr. Costello knew to be voting fraudulently,
and their votes were received by their associate
thief Coppers. and deposited unchsllenged.
saw Michael Costello challenge one brutal repeat
err, and then saw five scoundrels assault him
and drag him to the ground. while four police
men stood by and saw it done. After this saw
the ballot boxes in the hands Of thieves and re-
peaters. Every Republican vote was rejected
unless it was disguised. Only Tweed votes were
received This description would doubtless
hold good in many other districts, and will suf-
fee to show how Tweed was elected

Our readers must have noticed the remsrks-

SO termed. Every week, more or less. persons
die whose disease is attributable to the above
cause. Now, We are informed (ssys IN e1-
charge), by practical physician, that there Is
no such aiment a. heart disease. On the cen
trary the ailment, invsriably.s in some part per-
tanning to the heart, which has its effect upon
the heart by preventing circulation to inst part
of the human frame. and thereby produces death.
Whenever post mOrtems are made on ooeies u
persons whose death has been suddenly term'hs-
ted, the heart is found healthy, and the immeui-
ate cause Of death lies close by. There are such
things. however, as enlargement of the hesrt'

cessation Of circulation leading to that all IN

a Democratic District.

The New York World, the national organ Of
the Democratic party, described as follows, the
other day, the district represented in the
State Senate by William NJ Tweed, whose re
election the U'orld predicted as ;he natural
result Of the harmony between the constituency
and the man who represents it.
=. The Fourth District is the most loaihsome
political scAb in the United States 1t is only
necessary to look at its boundaries and see OF
what material its population is composed.
Except n few respectable permanent bOarders al
the Astor House, and one or two small hotels in
CORTLAND street. this district has no respectable
inhabitants 1t is not the resi-
dence Of people who hsve any regard for the
decencies Of life or the esteem and good opinion
of respectable society The very dregs and
scum of our population, the off-scouring Of this
country, and all others inhsbt it,
Mr.. Tweed quoted these sentences in a speech
to bis constituents just before the election, in
which he declared that "the answering
loyalty " of the Democracy Of the district had
:" time and sgsn. secured the success Of the
party in State contests
Both paper and speaker told the truth. The
district is all that the World represents it to
be, and it has done all that Mr. Tweed claims
for it. 1t Is the "most loathsome political "
district il the country and 1t has time and
again," given the State to the Democratic
party, when but for that district, the State
would have gone the other wsy. At the lat
Presidential election, the decent portion Of New
York gave majority for Grant but Tweed's
district gave majority for Seymour that over
balanced it, snd 10 the language Of Tweed,
" secured the SUCCESS Of the party" That vile
district gave thirty-three electoral votes to the
Democratic candidate for President in 1865,
lacking but seven Of oue-hslf. the whole number
that be received The electoral vote stood for
Grant pa for Seymour so but for that dis
trict it would have stood for Grant pa for
Seymour A..

The Rev. MIR. INlilburn, the blind preacher,
who some years since left the Methodist for tie
Protestant Episcopal Church, has gone back to
his first connection. We do not find in his let
ter written to Bishop Bissell Of Vermont any
reasons given for this change. Mr. Milburn
simply says that - he took false step, and the
only right course for him is to retrace his way"
At the same time, more polite letter than this
of Mr. Miburn to the Bishop never was written,
and it is queerly subscribed " Your obedient
servant" whereas the purport Of it that Mr..
Milburn feels it to be his duty to become dis
obeiient servant lie thinks the Episcopal to
be an admirable church, full of sweet, noble.
and cody women and men, while the Book of
Common Prayer is equally full Of '' unspeaks-
bly precious treasures" The "manifold good
influences Of the P. f. Church he trusts " will
abide with him forever but. for all this. his
heart turns " with inexpressible longings'' to
" Methodism. the Spiritual Mother. who, un
der God, bred aud msde him what he ia II it
we're not for these tender and sffectionate words
Of parting, we might suppose Mr. Milburn to
be weary Of the continual tqusbbing which has
made the Episcopal fold anything but pleasant
