Holmes Coote, NJ. D., 4. X. G. s., one OF the most
celebrated surgeons In Great Britain, died . few
days since in London. In his youth he was an
artcled student under the late Sir william Law
renee His professional studies at st. Bartholo-
nevis Hospital were prosecuted with great success,
and OH their completion he was examined and
became o member OF the Royal College OF sur
ge0ns, London, on the 4th OF July 1885, and on the
oath OF December, 1874, Fellow OF the institution.
In the previous year he carried on the college tri-
hbres 81 the human brain, specially Illustrated by
anatomy OF the same parts in the lower vertebrate.

surgery at Bartholomew's Hospital when he was

passengers, it win be seen, were 80 badly treated
by the stewards that medical treatment was
found necessary. The medical treatment
and it could not have been otherwise in the
circumstances-was,h however, little better than
q mockery. For over one thousand persons,
including the crew. there were but two doc
tors During the voyage six persons died. 1t
Is amazing that the death list was not larger.
This is not the first time that our
attention has been called to the shameful
treatment to which steerage passengers
are subjected on the voyage across the
Atlantic. We are well aware that there are
chronic grumblers among storage passengers
as elsewhere; and that many OF the charges
brought against the companies and their
officers are ill-founded and unreasonable. 1t
is impossible, however to refuse to admit that
things are not as they ought to be, and that in
all the steamship lines which do Storage
passenger trade there is great room for i'm
provement The public will be grateful for
Nh. McDonnell's letter of exposure. 1t must
resultant weare determined it shall result
in thorough investigation and complete dis
closure of the actual facts If mismanage-
ment is confined only to one line, that line
should be not only discountenanced but put
down. If Encouragement is q general fault,
chargeable upon all the lines, it is high time
that the truth were told and vigorous measures
adopted to eradicate the evil and to inaugurate
reform.

affairs I'm France he came to America arriving
here In 1869. ON the overthrow Of the B0naparte
Empire he returned to France, and renewed his
connection with French journalism. His close at
tention to mis- duties was too much for bis constitn
ton. and this determined him to again leave his
native land, and on the 14th OF January, 1871, he
declared his intention In the Court Of Common
Pleas OF New York to become citizen OF the United
States In this city he was connected with the COur.

before the marriage of the Princess she had de-
posted her entire remaining f0rtune-s0me thirty
five thouSand dollars in god-in the hands OF the
membersof very notorious female banking house.
The attempt to regain her money, 1t will be re-
membered, was the sensation OF the day. and the
case still remains undecided In the Courts. In

a large amount still remain, IL Is said, In the
Keeping OF the New York female bankers. Madame
Messant previous to her marriage, frequently lee

WHAT FORNEY 81 rs.

Forney says, in last Sundays Chron-
icle: it appears that the teWible results
of the financial power now upon us
might have been avoided by timely
action on the part of the Secretary OF
the Treasury. The currency balance
on hand, according to the daily cash
statement, was large. Secretary Rich
ardson, on the day that the failure OF
Jay Cooke & Go. was announced, was
urged, by parties who knew what the
effect Oh the money market would be,
to put out some currency in, the shape
of the purchase OF bonds. The Sec
Rotary did not know what he could do,
in fact, he did not comprehend the
situation. 1t was as easy for him to
purchase S10,OoO,000 or s15, 900, 900 OF
bonds on Thursday as it will be two
weeks hence. That amount Of curren-
Icy thrown upon q light, l,anicky mon
ey market would have relieved thous-
ands and prevented numerous suspen-
sions. We understand it was not ln-
til Secretary Richardson was peremptor-
lily ordered by President Grant to pur-
chase bonds, that he issued his order,
late on Friday night.

THE DISTRICT COURTS.


We are decidedly Of the opinion that
the time fixed fol, holding courts, in
GaHatinc county are not as well arranged
as they ought to be. The spring term
is fixed for March, which is certainly
the most uncomfortable month in the
year. The. fall term is the 4tl Mon
day in October, and we generally have
several falls Of snow before the day
arrives, III this country help is very
scarce and high priced, and few farm
ers can be spared from home at the
times appointed for court to attend as
Jurors. They have stock to attend tor
fires to keep up, and it works a hard
ship. It seems to us that later in the
Spring and earlier in the Fall would
be the better time to hold court. It
would certainly be more comfortable
to Judge, lawyers and jurors

outlby Gen. Ord last summer has re-
turned from Yellowstone Lake, after
successfully accomplishing its mission,
which was to find, if possible, a new
and much shorter route than the one
now travelled from the Pacific Railroad
to Montana. Theopnlion of old guides,
Indians and mountain men, was de-
cidedly against the probability that
any new route could be found, but the
EXPEDITION not only proved this to be
fallacy, but found that an excellent
wagon road can be made across the
range. From the Point OF Rocks on
the Union Pacific Railway the Lake,
by the newly discovered route, could
be reached with only $50 miles of
stage-coach travel. The utilization of

Standardization ON the Decline,

/ 1t is only afew weeks ago since Don
Carlos, adding victory to victory, gave
fair promise that on an early day lie
would be King of Spain, King as well
by the consent of the Spanish people
as by the grace Of God. The tide seem
ed rolling in his favor. The aspect OF
things has changed. Each successive
day brings us news of increasing de
lnoralization in the Carlist ranks. Dor
regarray, Roda and Lissaraga have
abandoned the cause and sought ref
uge in France. Large numbers of the
rank and file of the Carlist army have
surrendered to the government troops.
At the same time we hear of the com
plete failure of the intransigentes.
Cartagena has become a modern Babel,
and we have no doubt that when all
the facts are known it will be found
that IN the Spanish city, on smaller
scale, the horrors Of the French Com
mune have been repeated. Don Car
los must now be counted out. The III
transigentes are gone up. The Fed
eral Republic has not a ghost of a
chance. The promise is fair for the
Republic, with centralized govern
mentin Madrid. Don Alfonso and his
friends may yet give the Republic
trouble, but meanwhile the Govern
ment seems to be victorious at all
points, and the Government il repub-
lican. A prosperous republican, Spain
would be at once alesson and an ex-
ample to the nations of Europe. Il
