THE WINTER DEATH RATE.

The past cold winter has largely increased the
death rate over considerable portion of North
America and Europe, where the exceptional cold
weather prevailed. DIR. Elisha Harris, Registrar
of Vital Statistics for New York city says
"Thc mortality has been fearful i'll every section
on account of the great changes from the normal
state of the weather. The only other winter
which at all compares with it is that Of 1856.
The past season has been especially heavy in
deaths from pneumonia and other pulmonary
diseases. The weather has been very cold, and
also saturated with moisture at all times. While
the Temperature did not indicate any specially
low temperature, the skin and the mucous mem
branes of the lungs, throat and other passages
suffered on account of the humidity OF the at
mospherc. In our own city the total percentage
Of deaths will be from II to ID per cent. addi-
tiona, and in the special classes Of diseases most
fatal the ratio has been doubled. Fever cases
have been very rare. Typhoid has been almost a
matter of chance. In dipthera the mortality has
assumed the virulence OF an epidemic. Our re-
ports from Edinburg, Glasgow, London, Liverpool,
Dublin, Vienna, and Hamburg all show that this
particular class Of diseases has been specially fatal
here. Paris has been more fortunate owing to the
admirable sanitary regulations in force there. The
greatest percentage fatal outside ofthose of
chldfen are of persons over 90 years of age and
those who have been hard drinkers. do not mean
drunkards alone, but those who have been IN the
habit Of taking strong liquors, and they are not
poor people alone. In these persons the mucous
membrane of the throat is weakened AMI cannot
resist the double assault Of cold atmosphere

winter have not stopped yet, by any means. |

TIE PROPERTY or TWEED.

The premises and stables in Forty second street
known to have been once the property Of Tweed,
and upon which notice of attachment 10 be
served by the Sheriff was fled in the County
Clerks Office on Saturday, were made famous all
over the country by the descriptions published of
their regal magniticence when they were used by
the Chief of the Ring. Fitted up with walnut
trimmings and splendidly furnished they we've
better suited for the habitations of human beings
with refined tastes than dumb brutes, only needing
clean and comfortable quarters. In these stables
there were elegant rooms, where Tweed and his
favored friends met and held high revel over punch
mixed in a wonderful and costly silver punch bowl,
while many plan was perfected there to plumber
the city. The land and buildings No. 439 Fifth
avenue, No II East orty-fourth street, and No.
10 East Thirteenth street, which have been at
tached to prevent further conveyance, during the
pendency Vi the new suits, are all very valuable
property. 1t is said David Dudley Field and the
| regiment Of lawyers and attorneys employed by
Tweed, have had very large share of his once
great estate handed in the shape of fees, and
that conveyanoes of his property have been made
so ingenously t2at the people would have to spend
nearly as much, il not more than they could posi-
bly, recover to get it out of the hands of those who

Of being at some time not far distant able to force
a restitution OF the stolen money and much aid is
expected from Ingersoll in that direction. Their
confidence somewhat dsmays the members of the
Ring who have escaped punishment, and who have
property from which they in some way derive an
income. These people expect to be injured but
are uncertain how and when the injury win be in
ficted. An evidence of this fact is found at the
SheriHfs Office. where DcfgODs are known to have
been calling since the commencement of the suit
against Tweed, to disc over whether or not any
attachments are to be levied on their property.

RENOlIA.A TON :

In accordance with a purpose formed
several months ago Governor Dingley for
mally declines to be a candidate before the
coming Republican State Convention for
the nomination for Governor. The usage
of the party entitled him TO a re-nomina-
ton but 1T is well known to his personal
friends that he has desired to close his
term as Governor this year, and all
the hesitation which he has ever felt to
declare the fact before has been or &C.
count of the many wishes expressed that
he might change his purpose and accept
the nomination. Had he desired renom-
ination the convention would have been
unanimous in his support-all reports in
democratic papers to the contrary not
withstanding. The following is
Governor Dlngley's Letter.
.Nz LEWISTON, April 10, 1875.
Hon. j. G. BLAINE, Chairman Republican State
Comnsittee:- 8
Soon after my reelection to the gnbernatona
chair last September, indicated to you and Other
republican friends, personal desire to waive the
usage of third nomination which has obtained in
the republican party in this State in respect to the
Office Of governor, in order that l might retire
from my present official position at the end of my
second term. In Difference to the Judgment o.
yourself and others, who urge that should allow
the use of my name again, l consented to defer I
final decision of the matter until Spring. mas
much as the personal reasons which leo
me to desire release from official
duties, remain the same as six months
since, it is proper that should now notify you, as
the Chairman Of the Republican State Committee,
that must decline to allow the use of my name
in connection with third nomination to the office
of governor. AT the same time allow me, through
yourself, to tender my sincere thanks to the re-
publicans of Maine not only for the confidence
and support which they have so generously ex-
tended to me thus far during two gubernatorial
terms, but also for the expressions so many have
given that might allow the use of my name in
connection with still another nomination.
With great respect, l am sincerely yours,

Notwithstanding the suggestiveness of the
figures relating to municipal taxation which
accompanied Governor Tilden's recent Mes
sage many of the villages in this State are
anxious to become cities. The Governor 5
Message shows that Schenectady, Rome, Og-
depsburg Watertown and Hudson, none of
which possesses population exceeding eleven
thousand, raise annually from ffty-six to
seventy thousand dollars each for munich
pal purposes. These sums are simply enor-
nous, and yet smaller places, especially in
the neighborhood of this city, are anxious to
assume like burdens. There, for instance, is
the village of Huntington, on Long Island.
The village proper has population not ex-
ceeding fifteen hundred, and yet the villagers
are anxious to become q municipality and to
include large part of the farming land in
the neighborhood within their corporate
limits. The only arguments they advance for
this change are the increase in population
which they believe would be the result Of
calling their village city, and the
necessity of local improvements. No reason
ing could be more unreasonable. Population
is not secured by high sounding names, and
a system Of comprehensive local improve
rnents is the most dangerous of experiments
at this time. Good roads are always desira-
bic, but these every town can secure without
the expensive machinery Of municipality,
wsils village boulevards are an expensive lux
ury, without which many communities are
better of. If this plan Of incorporation
should succeed taxes would be greatly in
creased, and in ten years the city Of Hunting
ton will be so heavily in debt as to find
difficulty in paying the interest on its indebt-
edness. Such has been the experience Of
most Of the cities in the State, and like fate
should be avoided, unless it is unavoidable.
The villagers, not in Huntington only, but in
other places where the population is inspired
by a similar ambition, would do well to con-
slider the step they are meditating, for almost
without exception they will fnd that they
have bought the name Of city at a cost too
great for the luxury

lie asks but little here below, but wants that
little long He will take another term of the
Presidency if he cannot get anything better;
and like prudent and thrifty man he means
to keep that in sight until something better
offers. He feels that when he sacrificed a

to be turned adrift; and the republican
leaders may as well know this and trim their
sails accordingly.

sion. They win lose less by breaking down
CARROTS ambitious obstinacy within month
than by half measures, which will only serve
to protract the war; It Is better to sacrifice
two millions in one month"; that be neces-
sary-than to allow the contest to 60
on indefinitely, with q constant and incal-
culable drain upon their resources All the
roads are losing money so long as the war
continues, and it is for their common interest
to end 1t at once and know where they stand.
To be sure, they must submit to losses
themselves in inficting chastisement en-
the enemy but short and vigor-
GUS war is always more economical
than long one. The permanent prosperity
of the New York roads depends on their keep
ing the Western traffic for this city, which
they can do with absolute certainty by fight
ing Garrett with his own weapons and con-
stantly undertaking him in prices until he
has got enough of it 1t is undoubtedly IN
their power to force him into q combination,
and every New York interest requires that this
be done speedily. II this should be accom-
plished by the end of the present month, and
oil the through lines agree on remunerative
rates, those who are interested in lake and
canal navigation could organize for the fall
traffic and prevent the railroad rates from
being excessive during the heavy
business of the autumn months, when
the Western grain harvest will be
seeking market The canal traffic
necessarily centres in New York; but al
though the canals are competitors of the New
York roads during the season of navigation
they tend so powerfully to maintain the
supremacy of New York city as the great
mart of foreign commerce that the New York
roads have an interest in their success. So
long as the bulk of the summer and autumn
business comes to New York the winter and
early spring business will come here too, and
upon the continued commercial ascendancy of
this metropolis. If the Erie Canal, boats
and all, belonged to private corporation, it
could end this railroad war at once by put

effective SO long as the roads
are carrying freights at great
loss; but the New York roads, which
have an equal interest in maintaining the
commercial supremacy of this city, have only
to put forth their strength for o brief period
to break down all competition which tends to
divert business out Of the State. They have
nothing TO fear from the competition of the
canal, which can only keep their profits within
reasonable limits, whereas the railroad war
precludes any profits at all AS CARROTS
directors have decided to support him the
New York roads should exert all their power
and crush him at once. They might end the
war by vigorous campaign of a single
