The Weather and Mortality.

The effects of mild winter on the bills
of mortality, says the New York Times, is
very clearly shown in the returns present.
ed to the New York board of health, Tues
day The number of deaths reported last
week, with mean temperature of 30 de-
grees, is 1853 less than the number reported
during the same period last year, when the
average marked by the thermometer was
IL degrees lower. While the general health
OF the city is thus exceptionally good, the
number OF deaths from diplhtheria main
tains a rate which is simply monstrous.
During the eight weeks between Novem-
Der 81 and January 10, there have been
sos deaths from dipththeria, an aver
aga OF ~ per week More than half of
these have occurred In tenement houses.
and II is curious to notice that wo-thirds
OF the whole number have occurred on the
first and second floors of dwellings 1t
seems obvious that the lower strata of air
in our thickly populated neighborhoods
favor in very remarkable degree the de-
velopment of diptheria poison, and it may
be safely inferred that this is quite as much
due to the viliated atmosphere formed in
filthy and badly drained cellars as to causes
arising from the neglect of those who live
Immediately over such reservoirs of disease.
The gross ignorance of sanitary laws dis
played in house building is probably more
directly responsible for the alarming prev
alence of dptheria than oil other causes
combined.

The Centennial Debate.

The correspondents from Washington all
say that it is the generally expressed opin-
ion that the centennial debate in the house
exhibited more ability in the way of
oratory than any discussion which has
taken place tor Il long period. The elo-
quence was OF course of the emotional and
rhetorical character, but it was excellent
of its kind The speeches which have left
the most vivid impression upon the popular
memory are, perhaps, those of Townsend,
Tucker, Banks and Lamar. The New
Yorker was witty, whimsical, grotesque
and yet forcible. The Virginan was
learned, logical and convincing, and won
his spurs as debater at a single stroke
There was a tinge of aggressive bitterness
in his tone that made the common report
of his kinship to John Randolph seem nat
urnl. The Massachusetts man and the
Ms5issppian were elevated in sentiment,
eloquent in expression and earnest in man
ner. The whole contest was marked by
courtesy and good feeling, and the smooth
surface of the discussion was scarcely ever
ruilled by an angry word. The sentiment
on all sides seems to be hopefulness of a
great centennial celebration fIaught with
blessings in the way of fraternal union and
material prosperity.

Ben. Hills Fight With Yancey.

The editor of the Nashville american
corrects the statement that Ben. HILL then
a rebel senator, struck William L. Yancey,
the fire-eater, ON the back Of the head with
an inlSstand in the confederate congress,
but repeats the story that during a heated
debate Hill called Yanceya liar, and the
latter sprang forward to strike Hill, who
caught Yancey and threw him violently
over a desk. Hill was much the larger
and stronger man, and lancey the more
active In the fall his spine was injured,
and he lay unconscious on the floor, with
blood oozing from his lips. He was taken
away, and the members tried TO keep the
matter secret, and did prevent 1t from be-
ing known for six months. Yancey never
recovered he dropped from day to day,
became hopeless listless. and vacant. and
passed quietly and calmly away. Says the
american: ''He died without hope of the
success OF the southern republic he had as
pired to found and govern, and for which

Straws show which way the wind blows
The Troy Press, democratic, says that
" the marplots in Oho'-meaning The
democracy thereof-''presume to say" who
the democracy shall not nominate for
president. The winning states, it says,
"by virtue of every law and precedent"
have right to the leadership, and that it
is s'idle raving" for Ohio or Pennsylvania
to presume to say anything about who
shall, or shall not, be candidates. The
same remark, of course, also applies to all
the New England states, except Connecti-
cut--and that may loose it's voice in April
and to most of the western states.
Democrats, it says, "who have enabled the
party to be victorious should be allowed
to lead it and all the rank and file should
" fall tremendously into line. Ohio need
not seek TO dictate. The democratic
{" party can better afford so snub her than
.r.~a ----,- ssho- smaller staier,- $50,
etc. Which, being interpreted, must mean
that the democracy must prepare to sub
NIT itself, as of yore, to the dictaton of the
southern states-for these are the twin
" ming states''-and nominate whoever the
south desire. And this is the dish set
before the democracy.

The Question of Extradition.

The mayor nf Rnstor tn'arrorhod ~ tho
Massachusetts members to know If E. ID.
Winslow, the Boston forger, who had cs-
be extradited. They called upon Secretary
Fish, who informed them that we had no
extradiion treaty with Holland, and that
as long as Winsow remained there he was
free. 1t was then suggested that it the
vessel landed at Plymouth, England, he
could be arrested, to which the secretary
replied that he could be if he went ashore
Subsequently it was ascertained by tele-
graph that the vessel sailed directly for
Rotterdam. Winslow was a particular
friend of Ben Butler, and it is surmised that
he took his advice IN leaving the country.
