YELLOW FEVER AFTER FROST.

We have watched the progress IN
one place of yellow fever after freezing
weather and its abatement or total ex-
tinction in other places under circum-
stances apparently similar, with great
interest. Speaking of the disease at
Bainbridge, Ga, the Columbus Sun
says:
eve think that the present condi-
ton of cambridge must cause a modl-
fication of the commonly. received Opln-
ion that frost and ice put a stop to the
spread of yellow fever. They have had
both in cambridge, on two or three
nights, and yet the disease spreads.
1t commenced there late in
the season, and while it has died
out in Shreveport, Montgomery, and
other places earlier infected, 1t still
spreads in cambridge. The fact indi-
Gates that the disease has a course to
run. and that so long as there are per-
sons in any infected locality, the condi-
lions of whose systems would make
them liable to it at any time, they are
liable to it even for some time after
cold weather In other words, the state
of the weather is no protection to some
persons in city in which yellow few +
has obtained a foothold. Such, at
least. is the experience with the fever
Of this year, whether it differs from the
common yellow fever or not.
1t is not very easy to formulate a
process by which the germs Of this
malady may pass in healthy condition
from one person to another, and thus
spread the disease, that will not oper-
ate as well after hard frost as before
it, provided the transfer of the poison
or living thing is in warm atmosphere.
Something like blood-heat il regarded
as indispensable for either vital or
chemical action to breed and fairly pro-
pagate a new yellow fever in a sys-
tenn where it did not before exist.
If possible, medical science should
throw more light on the work of disease
generation. How to get out OF this
night of the healing art, and learn pre-
cisely what malaria is, and how best to
destroy it, are objects of great impor-
lance to the public. Reliable and per-
tinent facts, not theories, will solve the
problem. The balance of testimony
Poz,o,.e. +ba ;deo that q parasitic plant
of low, microscopic character, propa-
gates both in man and out of him, IN
a warm, damp atmosphere, such as
qbounds in many places in our cotton
zone. yellow fever has its home and
resides in such a climate. Cotton is a
cellular tissue; so is mold and many
parasites.

A BIG RAILROAD PROIEl,E.


WASHINGTON, Dec. S.-Under the title
Of "a bill to provide for permanent and
cheap transportation of passengers and
freight between the cities of New York
and Chicago" Mr.. Logan, in the Senate,
and Mr.. Farwell, in the House, to-day pc
titioned Congress to grant charter for an
air line railroad between the above cities.
The provisions Of the charter are, on
behalf Of the corporators, a remis-
sion of duties on material used in its con-
struction; the company, in consideration of
which REMISSION. agrees to carry Govern
ment freight and passengers at rates to be
fixed by Congress, and all other freight at
not more than one and one-half cents per
one hundred pounds, passengers at two and
One-half cents per mile. OF course, if the
charter is granted, all proceedings for the
condemnation of land for the use of the
road will be in the United States Courts.
Abner Taylor, Of Chicago, and other Hi
nOisans are here to lobby through the bill,
which will be bitterly opposed by the high
tariff men, both in and out of Congress.

THE Portsmouth TO- Times says:
1--WE learn through private letter from
Cincinnati that rumoris afoat IN that
city that the suspension of Hoyt,
Sprague & Co. was brought about
through the agency of a Cincinnatian,
I'D. Breed, who sold to parties IN
Germany an American silver mine, and
tbey sent him draft for S3,OOO,0OO on
Hoyt. Sprague & Co, which Breed ac-
cented and collected. This was quite
an amount to part with these close
times, and prevented them from meet
mo other paper" Using too much
paper credit makes frequent and dlsas-
4rous failures unavoidable. One half
She business. and that done on a soId
basis. would give larger gam IN the
end and avoid the terrible losses that
fall on Door laboring families who never
snaculate a dollar in their lives. Our
deceitful Radical currency, united to a
b;ob protective tariff, was established
for purposes of legalized steallng-to
owe honest labor a dime and take a
dollar in return.

MIR. moRRrLL,s rINASCrAL BILL.

MfNs MOhRAAzh.S > E1NA2SAAL HILL
On some points the telegraphic synop-
sis yesterday Of the bill for specie re-
sumption, introduced by Mr.. Morrill,, of
Vermont, is not clear; so that we cam
not yet form an opinion of its effect as
whole. One feature however, is given
50 explicitly as to justify comment.
The telegraph says:
Finally, the bill proposes to repeal
all limitations on the amount Of Nation
al Bank currency, except restriction
that the amount of circulation issued
to any National Bank shall not exceed
ninety per cent. of the bonds deposited
as security, or Of the amount of its
paid-in capital stock"
Previous portions Of the bill provide
for retiring greenbacks by CONVEX
sion into 3.65 bonds, etc, and the sys-
TEN Of ''free banking" here proposed
could only result in making all our cur
rency national bank notes. Unless this
be accompanied by some material mod
ifcation of the present National Bank
ing Law, it is an insult to the intelli-
gence of the people. The taxpayers
are already giving away some twenty
millions annually for the use of nation
al bank notes-twenty millions which
might easily be saved by making all
our currency greenbacks. Both depend
on the government credit for their sta
bility, and if we cannot have specie re-
sumption, the people are not likely to
tolerate any scheme for increasing the
present amount of indirect inter-
est-bearing national bank notes.
The powerful influence of these banks
on Congress is fact which members
seem to think the people ignorant Of.
There is not member of the House
Committee on Banking and Currency
which those institutions would chal-
lenge, and we have yet to see the first
bill that does not embody some device
for enlarging the privileges of thispow-
| erful monopoly.
