WASHINGTON, D. c.,
August 4, 1876.
The cool weather of late is doing
much for the health in every large
city. Here, in Washington, the
mortality in the past week has drop
ped off considerably; and it is
thought, should the weather continue
about as it is, the number of deaths
will average well with other years.
AS a city, with It's superior SANITARY
condition, Washington viii compare
favorably as to health and beauty
with any city of the size on the eonti-
nent.
Democratic methods of raising
funds for political purposes have
been unearthed, and are having a
run through the press. The proprie
ty of some of these schemes is more
than questionable, and cannot fail to
impress the moral sense Of such
Democrats as have conscience left.
Among these modes, one is to collect
money by school districts, in every
State in the Union, and to transfer
the sums so collected to the doubtful
States. That Democrats intend the
herculean task of thus debauching
Indiana, in particular, evidence is
not wanting to convince the most
unwilling. But, one OF the sources
of the great corruption fund which,
with violence and fraud, constitutes
the Democratic reliance for success
in the coming election, is just now
coming to light, and tits one of the
most probable, as it Is one of the
most dangerous of the Democratic
political levers. All Inow Auquste
Belmonte, of New York. He is a
great Democratic ligh; for years
member and Treasurr of the Ma
tional Committee of tht party; and,
what is significant, agent of the
Rothschilds, the graf European
bankers. To put tese bankers in
the control of the J. S. Treasury,
Belmont would not ESTATE, and he
could afford to give any sum from
$500, 900 to $5,O00,OD. Tilden and
Belmont are twins irsocial, financial
and political affairs In liberty to
name the Secretary the Treasury,
Belmont, by doRatiy the highest
sum named, even, wald give but a
tithe of the profits to,he Rothchilds
by having friend at be head Of the
financial department the govern
ment. Thus, may tn Treasury Of
the Nation be placed, the event of
the election of Tilden,t the mercy
of foreign and hostilepterests, ca
lamity the people, if we, will avoid.
Confederate supremacRt home and
our finances directedby European
money kings, would bnore than the
country could endure ld live.
1t is believed the paiotism of the
country will assert itsf in this cen
tennial year, and onceaore save the
Union and perpetuate; as intended
by the Fathers.
Yesterdays proceeHgs In the
House of Representatits were mark
ed by unusual excitenht. In refer
ence to the charge hade against
Hon. J. Proctor KnoI Chairman of
the Judiciary Commib be, of his hav-
ing, for sinister apI dishonorable
purpose, retained Wild is known as
the Caldwell telegySi exonerating
Mr.. Blaine from h,as had any
thing to do with the title Rock and
Fort Smith Bog ne committee
had unanipons quilted Mr..
1t was reasonab' 5llpposed that
this would have SAT- Mr.. Knott,
but after the readR OF the report
the House was takenalI aback" by
Mr.. Knott's deliverie one of the
most vindictive and Malicious har-
angues against the abssntNr. Blaine.
that was ever heard upoi the floor.
For this there was no Btification.
Even the Democrats werIdisgusted.
The result was, that MI Knott re-
ceived withering denundtions from
Messrs. Frye and HaleIthe latter
telling Mr.. Knott ths "if Mr..
Blaine were now a memb' and in his
seat, he would have no ore dared
to make that speech tina the nous
ing owl dares to venture birth when
the eagle is abroad soahg in his
pride"
The report was recomitted, and
there will probably be a inority re-
port. In view of the exhibition made
by Mr.. Knott, the Housecannot ac-
quit him of malice in faihg to ex-
hibit the dispatch to the iembers of
the committee.
The Washington Monunnt, which |
has loomed up in its unflshed con
dition for so many years, ad which |
has been the cause of cagrin to
every well-wisher of the apital of
the Nation, is about to startgain un-
der the auspices of the Genial Gov
ernment towards completion
The President having siaed the
Act appropriating 100000 for this
work, and the Washington Monu-
ment Association having implied
with the terms and requireients Of
the law, there will be no further bpI
structions to the building of the
monument. Better late than never u
