REFORM BY ASSASSINATION "-Some

lives OF rulers and royal personages have
been recorded during the last 80 years and OF

ANIMATION, however, OF the statistics of as.
SaSsination the curious conclusion is drawn
that the republican element seems as much

of the United States, of Peru, of BOLIVIA. of

the inevitable perils which strew the paths Of

LESSONS TAUGHT BIZ THE YELLOW FEVER
The horrible ravages of the yellow fever I'm
the southwest recall the days OF the BLACK
Death" in England. Doubtless the prevalence
OF this scourge is due to the disobedence Of
Inc plalneSt Jaws OF health We see that tits
terrible retribution, but we see also that the
sin that is punished by 1t is not the sin OF pro-
fanlty or OF Sabbath breaking, as men would
once have supposed, but the sin of living in
hlthy streets and Of breathing tainted air.
When this sin il repented of and forsakel,
the scourge will be averted and not before.
Out OF all this evil some good emerges-the
heroism and fidelity of those who are risking
and losing their own lives i'm caring for the
sick and dying, and the quick response of the
people OF the north to the cry for relief. We

SECRETARY DEvEns TO RETIRE.

Washington, Dec. 9.-Secretary Devens
will retire from the cabinet within a few
day, certainly by the end Of the mo, tn. II
has been known for some time that the pc.
sition was dIstasteful to him, but he has re.
manned or account of the urgent request Of
the president and some of his fellow cabinet
ministers. The president not only urged
him to remain until the end of the term, but
got others to argue the case but Mr.. Dew
ems is not eat SIZED with his position and It's
duties, ami wishes to be relieved The vex-
ations and complications growing out of the
southern troubles have annoyed him not a
little. Last week he told the president that
he vas determined 10 retire. The president
regretted 10 hear of this final determination,
but had known for some time that the sec
rotary wished to 60, and it is believed that
on this account the vacant federal judgeship
in Massachu-et has not been filled. Mr..
Devens will be appointed to this position,
which is more in harmony with bis tastes
and inclinations. As to who will take the
attorney generals chair in the cabinet there
are many rumors, but nothing authoritative,
and will not be until after the cabinet meet.
ing tomorrow. At the white ! ouse it is
said there have been applications from half
the states in the union from friends of
citizens.

Thursday Evening, Dec. l2, 1873

We give to-day the letter of . citizen in
which is stated some particulars in reference
to the cost of purchasing fire apparatus and
the amount of taxation necessary to meet
the additional indebtedness. The showing
is a very god one, and If this simple ques.
tion was the only one to be considered, there
would be little difficulty in securing an afir.
native vote ; but this is not the case. Sc
rious objections are urged against the steam
fire engine-the cost " running it, to say
nothing of the liability of such machinery
to be tout Of joint" when it is most needed.
What is most required now, is a statement
that will convince the people that the appa-
ratus mentioned BY our correspondent is the
kind which the city should purchase, and
the system proposed that which the city
should adopt.

THE REFuNolNc BILL.

Washington. Dec. 1O.-Secretary Sher-
man, before the committee on ways and
means to-day, gave his views concerning
the bill introduced by Representative
Wood to authorize the issue Of certificates
of deposit 10 aid of the refunding of the ma
tional debt. The bill as agreed on is as
follows, ana Mr.. Wood was authorized to
report it TO the house:
Be it enacted, etc, that the secretary of
the treasury is hereby authorized and d.
rected to issue in exchange for lawful mon
ey of the United States that may be pre-
sented for exchange, certificates of deposit,
of denomination of $40. bearing interest
at the rate Of 8 per cenlum per annum, and
convertible into 4 per centum bonds, de-
scribed in the refunding act, and the mon
ev so received shall be applied only to the
payment of 5 20 bonds in the mode pre-
scribed BY said act, and be is authorized to
prescribe suitable rules and regulations in
with this act.

SENATOR EDMUNDs' BILL

Washington, Dec. 9-senator Edmunds'
speech to-day in support of his electoral bill
was listened to with close attention. 1t was
noticed that the ablest of the senator's gath
cred around him, n heard the entire
speech. Among these we're Bayard, Thur
man, Conkling, Davis and Blaine. The gal
leries were not very we'll filled, as the speech
was most too dry to be popular. Al the
close Senator Edmunds appealed 10 his
brother senators that they would drop other
business, and give their whole attention to
this subject, the most important before the
American congress. Now, midway between
the presidential election, was the time to
perfect the electoral mach merry, and put it
in such shape that the dangers of disputed
presidencies would be past. 1t is thought
that Mr.. Edmunds will not give way 10 MI.
Blaine next Wednesday unless forced to.
He considers the electoral bill of more i'm.
than campaign speeches at this

CAPITAL NOTES.

Washington, Dec. GA private letter re.
ceived by Gen. NJ. c. Butler to-day from
Gov. Wade Hampton's s~on.in-law states
that Hampton is now in an improved condi-
ton, and that the surgeons in attendance
have decided upon the amputation Of his
leg below the knee. This is the OIL ly means
Of saying his life. The timt set for the
operation is to morrow, the same day that
Hampton is to be elected to the United
Stats senate.
The Indian commissioner to-day heard
ex-senator Morrill, in opposition to the
transfer. He advocated radical changes in
the existing law, and said that the Indians
should he localized and properly educated,
to be prepared to meet the coming emergen-
cy Of delivering up their lands to the fast
increasing white population. John Young,
the agent OF the Blackfeet Indians in Mon.
tana, said that they were unanimously OPP
posed to the transfer.
A resolution was agreed TO by the ways
and meane committee to-day to adjourn on
the 2lst of December to the 9th of January
on account of the holidays.
The Potter COMMITTEES will meet tomorrow,
but it is not likely that much will he done,
owing to the absence of Gen. Butler, who
left for New York to-day, and will not re.
turn until Thursday. The committee do not
seem to be anxious to do anything until But.
Ter can be present.
The military commission on the r%eorgani-
cation Of the army will meet on Wedpe..
day. Gen. Bragg will not be present, and
will not arrive in Washington until after
the holidays. The members of the commits
sion, all Of whom are here except Bragg, are
opposed to waiting until that time before
agreeing to the army bill. 1t is therefore
probable that that they will agree to a re.
port on Wednesday and submit it to the
house Immediately thereafter.
Senator Conkling said to-day that at the
meeting of the committee Oh commerce, Of
which he is chairman, next Thursday, the
New York nominations would be considered
and probably be reported favorably to the
senate. He did not consider it expedien,
to make a fgh: on these nominations at thi.
time.
The democrats Of the Indiana delegation
to the house have agreed to support R. ]
Bright, nephew of Jessie ID. Bright, who
was expelled from the United States senate
for the position of sergeant-at.arms of the
next house. De Ia Matyr has agreed to sup.
port Bright also.
The contested case Of Smalls against Raj
ney will be taken up by the election COM
mittee at lite next meeting. 1t is probable
that the committee will declare the seat
vacant.

NORTHERN NOTES.

Bismarck, D. T.. Dec. e.-The govern.
men telegraph line between Fort Buford and
Fort Keogh has been tempered with. Two
poles were cut, and several hundred feet OF
wire.
The ~rascals who set fire to the Keoeh hay
applied kerosene to make a sure thing.
The Missouri at Fort Buford is 30 full of
ice that it prevents all crossing. The mail
has been delayed three days in consequence.
Reports from Buford state that Sitting
Bull has crossed the line, and that he will
try and get the Berthold Indians to join
him.
