ing Stewards body, but said, however,
that there were no prisoners in bis station
house for bankruptcy. Inspector Dilkes,
at the police Central Office, stated that
he could not say whether anything would
grow out of it, but that there might. Two
women came to the station-house with
bundles for the prisoners and then left.
The women were shadowed by police Off
GERS at every step aud it was evident that
the most vigorous restraint had been
placed upon them to prevent anything Of
what they knew being given to reporters.

Wright lived on the top floor of 402 East
Twelfth street, with whom person named
Baker had been living for some time past.

The yellow fever is steadily decreasing
In the South, in spite Of spasmodic re-
turns ofits fatal energy at few points,
but the need for reliefis still very nearly
as urgent as ever. AS Secretary Nc
Crazy says in his letter to Mayor
Langdon, of Detroit: at all afflicted
points, save New Orleans and Mem
phis, the suffering and want are great,
and think increasing; and even in
those cities more help may be required
in the near future. You can scarcely
70 amiss in sending aid" This is only
too. true, for the DISCRIMINATION OF
society and industry is only less dread
full than the pcstilencc itself. The
suffering and misery Of the poor are
made worse by this Reorganization and
BY the death Of so many strong men.
whose families arc now helpless and not
able to support themselves. Business
is in a state of stagnation, work often
cannot be found, the fever has in many
cases paralyzod the impulse to industry
and these causes will continue to IN
settle affairs and aggravate the public
distress fer many weeks after the pesti-
lence disappears. As Mr., McCrary
well says, you can scarcely 60 amiss
in sending aid"

AT time like the present when seme
fearful disease is scourging the country
the most startling circumstances often
attend a death. \ few days ago it was
announced by telegraph that young
man who had been married on Thurs
day, was stricken with the fever on Fri
day, died on Saturday, and was buried
on Sunday.
In Alexandra young man had just re-
eeiyed pepper sent him by a friend in
Memphis, and had hardly finished read
ing it when he saw among the telegraph
ic dispatches Of later paper an account
of his friends death. With such rap
idity does the scourge travel that we
are every day startled by the strange
incidents that attend it.-Richmond

The Weird, Harris and Tucker.

A new and artful dodge is again
about to be practiced upon the credu-
leus democracy Of the country. The
New York World, for many years the
leading organ of democracy, is sending
out circulars by the hundred announc-
NC a change,of management, prom
ising TO send the paper free for one
month, and soliciting a subscriptions
thereafter. Aleng with this circular is
card as follows:
Dear Sir:
At the suggestion Of our good
friend Hon. John 7. Harris. l take
pleasure in calling your attention to
THE WORLD as it IS now conducted
under its new management. Asking
Your careful perusal Of the enclosed
circular and also ofTHE WORLD during
the period for which it will be sent ;you.
Yours respectfully,
w. y. POTTER, Publisher.
Some of the many received at this
Office have the name Of the Hon. John
Randolph Tucker and some OF Hon.
John T. Harris.
We would like to know now whether
these gentlemen, who are candidates for
congress in Virginia as pronounced
greenbackers arc informed Of what the
policy of the New York World is on this
question. There is no paper IN the
United States that has done more to
impovensh the people and keep them
under the iron heel of money syndicates
than the World and we are apprehen-
sive this is but part Of a scheme to get
the paper into the hands of the people
ofj,he South to further lullaby them with
The howl Of civil service reform and
local self government while rings get
away with every thing that toll and
sweat and blood can produce.
This same WORLD sold out the party
through Manton Marble and August
Belmont, according to the shameful adj
missions Of the former as its editor, in
order to keep the people in slavery, and
we have as yet no indication Of a change
ofits financial policy for government, or
testimonial ofbetter political morality.
IfJudce Harris and Mr.. Tucker can eX-
plain their endorsement Of this organ Of
cold gamblers under the guise Of de-
mocracy they should do so at once. a
greenbacker in Virginia cannot be an
endorsor or canvassing agent of the
Vorld. Not bit of it. There is a
mean hypocracy some place when it Is
attempted. 1t is worse than hypocracy.
It's the kiss of Iscarit to betray those
whom they profess and pretend to serve.
If the people Of the South wast a
New York paper they can get the
Adrocote weekly Tor so cents year or
% cents in clubs. Then theyiwill have
one that is honest, Independent, demo-
cratic and under no Wall Street in
huence. 1t is superior TO the World in
everything except endorsements and
approvals OF congressman.

pleted and impoverished the South and
West and enriched and made despotic
the New England States and the great
commercial centers, and that the only
remedy is TO repeal all legislation that
looks to the protection Of money; that
legal tenders be substituted for national
bank currency in amount sufficient 10
meet public demonds, and. that all unfair
discrimination against labor and the
products of the soil be abandoned.
| am glad to know my views then eX-
pressed have become the policy of a
great party. What the Generals opin-
lens are as between grcenbacks direct
from the Government and National
Banks, no one knows. The true issue
is. abolition Of the National Banks and
the substitution Of Grcenbacks in
amounts sufficient TO restore the country
And here may as well be one Of the
| first questions which will state this will
be before the next Congress. How vii
the General vote on that or can he vote
at all? for the 29th Rule Of the, House
reads. mo MEMBER SHALL VOTE ON
ANY QUESTION IN THE EVENT Oh
WHICH HE IS IMMEDIATELY AND PAR
TICULARLY INTERESTED" Now as the
General is President and stakeholder off
National Bank, with a salery, is he, not Sc
interested that he could not vote on {
question to abolish his own Bank an(
his precuniary office. Upon seeing lth(
rule-and its propriety, the general vii
have to withdraw from the Bank or from
the Canvass.
| think it is sufficient to show this at
least. that the General IS not IN a posi-
ton to be an impartial Legislator in a
contest between the people and the great
monied menopolies which have wrought
their ruin. That however honest, his
judgment whould be warped By that in
fuence, for his own Inc Of thought
aud action have been all in that drec'
ton.
To further illustrate my views on thC
question, give another extract from
that Same speech. Ofcourse, | had Nc
reference to the Gencral-and earnest
hope he will 50 understand it-for | haC
no idea he would bca candidate for Con
gress, and never dreamed that any Banl
President would when the existence o.
that Bank will be the great question be-
fore Congress and on which he will have
to act -
ut willnot, | believe, be denied that
the average rate Of bankers loans ex'
ceeds 10 per cent. per annum. The
Government pays on the whole sun
deposited as security 6 per cent. inter
est in gold, which, taking the five years
last past, has cQualcd I per cent in
currency. making the aggregate rate Of
interest ofthis financial policy OF the
Government against the people Il pei
cent. per annum, a rate denounced as
usurious and unlawful by almost every
civilized nation on earth; a rate which
no people can carry and prosper; that
RAPIDLY centralizes the money III the
few and makes poor the many
l leave the people to determine where
the interest Of the country would be II
confded to a Congress composed wholly
orBank Presidents and those who are
large holders OF Bank stock.-In that
even, New England and the money
changers would rejoice, while the PEG.
plc would mourn. Then, indeed. would

ple, God SAFE The Commonwealth.
