IT is doubtful if a commander of the
army in this country, after accepting a
"present of 81, 100000 from a corrupt
contractor who was furnishing rotten
supplies, would simply be retired from
the service, and sent to a. place Gin
exile" That's the ''punishment" in
ficted on the Grand Duke Nicholas, of
Russia. So the United States is not the

A New ORLEANS correspondent of
the New York. Times gives facts which
go far in his opinion to upset all the old
theories regarding yellow fever. Ac-
cording to his observation, the cleaner
the streets and the more fashionable the
quarter, the greater apparently is the
virulence 3" Of the disease. On the other
hand "the filthiest streets are either
wholly free from the faint or have only
widely scattered cases of a mild type"
Against such an epidemic the usual sani-
tary measures are of little avail The
only resource is "to dispute each victim
with the destroyer"

The trial OF the land suit OF D. +.
Wood against about one hundred citi-

the United States Court at Clarksburg,
has created great excitement among
the defendants and the people generally.
Upon the question Of possession under
instructions from the Court, the jury
found for the plaintiffs, with the excep-
ton of the land the defendants had en-
closed in the year 1853 Tho question
OF forfeiture was not argued or submit
ted to the Court or jury, but reserved
for the spring term oi the Court, at
which time final judgment will be en-
tered. The case involves at
least $4,000. The defendants
had made every effort for trial ut the
last term of the court. They had sent
to Richmond at cost Of Sl20 cash TO
get certificates of forfeiture which they
reiy on as one OF the saving points in
the Gaze. but during the court these
papers disappeared. and could not he
found. The defendants have u send Ia
Richmond and get a new set Of papers
before they can get ready for trial. The
defendants held a meeting last Saturday
on Cellar creek and raised the necessary
funds to s1nd to Richmond and get
new set OF certificates Of forfeiture The
losing OF these papers Is commented
upon with great severity by all the
people in this section. The defendants

WAsHINGToN, November IL, 1873.
Kellogg has been expressing himself
quite freely on things in general and
there are always plenty to hear
him talk. He has only been tosee Hayes
once and denies having endeavored to
brace that individual up and says that
he had nothing To do with Zach Chand-
Ter in the stifening up policy. The
bloody shirt he says is his especial
aversion and the Democrats and not
the Republicans are raising it. He said
in conversation yesterday the bloody
shirt cannot win, for neither North nor
South can be scared by it. It's the
solid South that's doing it. The entire
West is afraid OF movement to pay
out millions of dollars for war claims,
the same old cry. Ii the next Congress
pursues sensible course, let's these
claims alone and does not legislate for
the South, am afraid the Democrats
will have us in. tight place. A liberal
policy from them will disappoint us
and they will get good start for 1850.
But doubt if they will have enough
sense To do this.

The proposition OF the New York

discussion and equally general adverse
criticism. 1t was heralded abroad

this among them. But now the noble
Roman comes to the front and denies
this, and says the banks are making a
blunder in so doing. The TACT Of the
matter is, he thinks it may arouse dis
cussioh in the Democratic Congress
which will be of disadvantage to him,
and il is rumOred that in his report he
will recommend an increase in the
weight of the silver dollar to elevate to
the standard of gold. He greatly fears
conflict of the banks with the Treasury
Department., but says that the remone

to resumption. The banks will prob

the lack of anythinginteresting evolving
from the meeting of the Cabinet. All
those wise heads were put together and
yet nothing Was done. The Attorney
General was the only absentee, he be-
ing engaged at the Supreme Court, and
therefore nothing was done in relation
to the Southern election cases. The
only matter under consideration was the
financial troubles in the District, and
even then, All informal talk was all.

Edison and the Electric Light.

WASHINGTON, November l6.-lnquiry
at the Patent Office to-day shows that
Edison has not yet received an Ameri.
can patent for his new electric light.
The application is still pending. In
formation from private sources is to the
effect that Edison has recovered from his
illness, and is now being unusually sue
cessful in his electrical experiments.
The first patents, which will doubtless
soon be issued, will imperfectly show
the novel discoveries and devices which
he had made since his application ior a
patent. Indeed, Edison thinks he is
now upon the threshold OF a new devel-
opment in electrical science. Buildings
which have been in preparation to test
the success Of the new light on large
scale will soon he completed, and Menlo
Square Park will be Illuminated in about
two wpels
