Ben Butler advises starving out the Geld
Bugs
WASHINGTON. Jan. 2l.-The most
important news about congress to-day
was the secret meeting OF the silver
men and the repealers of the house,
held after the adjournment. The ar
rangements for the meeting were
quietly prepared, SO quietly that hard
" a correspondent knew that over
one hundred members of the house,
irrespective of party, were gathered
in the judiciary committee room.
Judge lucknow, of Maine, was chosen
chairman, and Mr.. Phillips, OF Kansas,
secretary. All present seemed to un-
derstand the object of the meeting to
be that of an organization of the
forces. More quiet yet determined
men probably never met together.
They did not need to be informed of
the purpose of the meeting. The only
question was how to organize.
Ewing, of Ohio, was the first speak
er. He said the time had come for
determined action by united forces to
meet the underhanded combinations
of the East which had so long controll-
ed the finances of the country. Sever
al other speeches to the same purport
were made, when Ben. Butler got the
floor. His advocacy of the greenback
was as extreme as ever made IN a
stump speech, made in Ohio. He
declared that it was dollar IN itself,
that the government made it so. He
attacked the national banks, but
agreed with the majority of those
present that at present they should
be left alone because Of the necessity
of all the strength being pitted against
the resumptionists and demonetizers.
Butler, in the course of his remarks.
said that in the event OF veto the
reconciliation and repeal bill should
| be tackled to the appropriation bills
and be forced through, even though
the whole civil service, army and ma
Wv of the government were starved.
This declaration elected applause from
all present. Finally, on the motion
of Mr.. Crittenden. of Missouri, the
following resolutions, looking to orga-
niZation was passed.
Resolred. That a committee OF
seven be appointed by the chairman
to attend to all matters pertaining to
and in advancement of the passage OF
the silver bill and the repeal OF the
resumption act, said committee to be
STYLED the executive committee, and
that the chairman appoint a similar
committee to be styled tue finance

of money and the circulation OF
speeechea, papers and documents,a and
that the chairman report at future

DRAMATIC SUICIDE.
After the Delivery of an Infidel Lee
IuPe Before a Large Audience
George w. BurIeigh Blows
His Brains Out.

CHICAGO, July 25-The T'iDtes's special
from Capron, Illinois, says that a dramatic
suicide occurred there Tuesday night. Early
last May George w. Burlegh, who is an old
resident of Ohio, having lived In various
parts of that State, came to that town osten-
sbly to start a tonsorial establishment Bur-
leigh was a man of varied accomplishments,
had fine education and versatile in CONVEX
sation. While at Capron ne was often In de-
pressed spirits. Last Sunday he published
card informing the citizens that, in order to
crafty an often-eXpressed curiosity on the
part of his t0wnsmen to witness some such
tragedy as the hanging of Sherry and Con-
nelly in Chicago, he would, on the evening of
the twenty third instant, deliver a lecture in
Thornton hall and at its conclusion crafty
them by shooting himself through the fore
head. The price of admission would be one
dollar, and the amount realized should be
used to defray his funeral expenses and the
remainder be invested in the works of Hux-
ley, Tyndall and Darwin for the town libra-
~. His idea in ending his life was to secure
eternal peace by humiliation. At the APP
pointed time the hall was crowded, and after
delivering an infdel lecture of wonderful
power in manner and tone, which marked
him as an adept. he suddenly drew a der
ringer, placed 1t to his forehead and, despite
the attempts to prevent the rash deed, fired
and fell in the arms of two friends who were
In the wings of the stage for the purpose of
hindering the execution of the design. The
large. sized ball literally tore his brain to
pieces. He left request that his body should
be forwarded to his friends In Cincinnati.

NEW ORLEANS, July -, 1878.
Mr.. J. II. Woodwork, Surgeon-General Marine Hos
pital Service Washington, ID. e.:
SIR-It now becomes my duty to report the
existence OF yellow fever IN New Orleans.
About the twelfth instant cases began TO &C.
cur 10 the practice of several of our physl-
clans, near the intersection of Constance
and Terpsichore streets, which presented sus-
picious symptoms, and we now reckon four
teen cases of infection, with six deaths, IN adj
dition to seven other cases which have come
to light at different points, and much more
scattered, four of which have already result
ed fatally. We are endeavorng diligently to
trace the origin of this outbreak, but so far
find no connection with any foreign source.
It is clear they have not resulted from the
two cases which were developed months ago
on the steamer Emily b Souder, Immediately
after her arrival from Havana. Carbolic acid
distinction is vigorously carried out at all
the infected points, and we hope to prevent
the pestllence from assuming epidemic pro.
portions. / will keep you advised IN regard
to the progress Of the fever, and in few
DAYS give you the determination OF the board
of health upon the question OF allegiance to
the central authority at Washington. Re-
spectfully, your obedient servant,

Ques-You said you believed Packard to
have been honestly elected Do you know of
anv better purpose to which the troops should
have been allied than in upholding HIM !?
Ans.-l believe Packard was honestly elect
ed, but | never understood that
the legislature had declared for Packard
in final form beyond the right of contest ;
passed beyond the point where there was no
lawful appeal.
Ques.-Fhere was to be a lawful appeal
before the State supreme court. The legis-
lature, composed of majority OF members
declared to be elected by the returning board,
assembled on the day fixed by law, counted
the votes and declared by the same authority
that Packard was elected governor, and after
being inaugurated he sent his message, and
there was the end. If legislature has the
right to turn out a governor, do you know of
any reason why congress has not a right TO
turn out a President? Ans.-The Jurisdic-
ton is different; one is State, and the other
Is national.
