IL is by no means improbable that New
York will have two democratic JrnitaI states
Senators after March 3. 1879, when Senator
Conkling's term expires. All depends upon
an election for members of the legislature.
which election takes place this fall. The re-
PuoicaLs think they will secure a small
majority, but owing to the disorganized con-
dltion OF their party this is very doubtful.
senator COnkling is hurrying home after a
lying trip TO England and Scotland. and the
knowing ones guess" he is coming back TO
set up the pins" for q republican victory
this fall.

Ihe Board OF Health as Mall Con-
tractors

DR. Bliss chargesihat THE STAR and other
papers, are disposed.t0 "attack" the Board
Of Health. and particularly himself, unjust
iy. This is certainly not true of THE STAR.
We recognize the fact, and have many times
stated II, that the Board have in the past, at
least, done valuable service in behalf of the
health of the community; but we are not
Blind TO the fact, either, that the board have
made themselves notorious by their Internal
and eternal dissenslons, bandying of epi-
thets, recriminations, mutual charges of bad
faith, wrong doing, &C., &c. II THE STAR
mas shown them up occasionally, il has been
simply by holding the mirror up to theirown
proceedings.
As 10 the claim that the members of the
Board OF Health can, by reason of being I'M
derpaid, properly engage in other business
we must be allowed to express the doubt
when IL comes TO a question OF propriety
whether that outside business should include
government contracts. AS matter of fact
We suspect that the medical profession OF the
city ard country will hardly endorse the
doctrine that members of a health boari
paid by the u. 5. government, and who are
also practising physicians, can with proprie-
~ engage in government contracts And we
mink That the law Of Congress prohibiting
interested parties from acting as agents of
the government (Section 17s3, Revised Stat
utes,) will debar them from entering upon
me government contract business while re-
ceiving government salary.
IL is stated elsewhere that the Board of
Health Contracting Company have gone into
business on an extensive scale, and have
already secured contracts on over two hun
dred mall routes. IL is stated, also, that the
regular duties of the health officers con-
cerned in the contract business have suffered
in proportion. We should suppose so.

The New York draft riots of 1868, which,
strange TO say happened a few days after the
great Union victory at Gettysburg, cost the
empire city about 81 $50 600 all OF which had
to come ont OF the pockets OF the tax payers.
The aggregate value OF property destroyed at
Pittsburg In the recent riots Is estimated at
sl0,cooGOO. The money will probably be
raised by the issue OF county bonds. The
philadelphia Record says that II such bonds
can be sold al par, bearing interest at six
per cent, 10 will take yearly tax OF
10000 70 keep up the interest, which will
oooole the present taxation for all county
purposes This Is enough TO show the Inter-
e1' taxpayers should have in the speedy
suppression OF disorders In their midst.

100000 sterling thaving s1,422,57i invested In
this country, has acquired worldwide reputa
ton for staunchnsss and stability, and for the
promptness and llberality it always manifests in
the settlement of losses. By the recent great
fire in st. Johns, New Brunswick, tho company
sustained loss of 100000, and the company i'm
medately telegraphed 10 its agent in that city to
pay all losses as soon as adjusted, thereby waiy-
ing the sixty days delay accorded by law and
custom; at the same time making the liberal con-
tribution OF s2500 for the poor sufferers by the
fire. The ofiicial announcement of the above

The last our readers heard OF santa Anna, the
poisoned man (so-called), he was running away
from the Charity Hospital in order to avoid the
pointed needles OF experimentative medical stu
dents. To-day, thanks to information received
from Sergeant Ryan, OF the First Precinct, and
A. B. Miles, Esq, NJ. D., Of the Charity Hospital,
we can allay the spprehensions OF nervous COM
munity. Santa is doing well; he has stopped
running from the students, and the presumption
is that the sausages swallowed by him were q
delusion and snare to entrap unwary hospital
keepers.
1t will be remembered that on the morning Of
the 10th inst, Santa Anna was seen to run into
the middle of the street, at The corner OF Com
mon and Franklin streets, pick something UP and
eat it. There is nothing very extraordinary in
pick up something and eat it, but when he re-
turns to the banquette, lies down and swears
that he has swallowed four poisoned saussges,
and has to be taken to the Charity Hospital in a
wheebarrow by two police officers. the tale has
moral.
Santa Anna had no sooner made bis triumphant
en- ~ inc this charity institu ion than all the
students, both far aud near, were summoned to
attend on HIM.
Then came the terrible words which made ones
blood run cold, Treat him kindly, boys; four
poisoned sausages have cook, d ls goosel'

outcast, but Mike, the veteran gattkeeper, looked

DEATH OF M. M. SIMPSON.

Our commercial community was not surprised
to learn of the demise, in New York, OF that
highly respected and prominent gentleman and
fnancier, III. M. Simpson, Esq. MIR. Simpson has
for many years been one OF our leading monetary
Spirits and by his energy and acumen won for
himself the reputation of one OF the foremost ana
most progressive citizens of our city. He was
the originator and founder of that noble institu-
ton, tho Jewish Widows and Orphans Home,
and was its frat president, to which Office he was
called for seversl terms.
At the time be was stricken with the malady 10
which he succumbed he was vice president Of the
Union Bank, and filed that responsible office
with credit to himself and those who selected
him for the position.
Before his death Mr.. Simpson made as q last
request that his body should be laid away in New
Orleans. 1t will arrive here on board the steam
ship Cromwell, and will be buried in the Portu
guese buryng ground, according to the rites Of
his religion.
