Total,

In case the next House should al SO fail
to have Il majority on either side, then, il
the fourth of March should come without
an election. the Vice President would be-
come the acting President, as in the case
OF the death OF the latter. But as there
would not be likely to be popular cleo
ton of Vice President when there was
none for President, the Vice President
woUl be chosen by the Senate, which.
after the fourth OF March next, woulI in
sure his being Democrat. We have.
then, the whole situation before us. II
the next Presidency Is to depend upon
Congress the Republicans must either
carry. majority of the House dele cations
or else be prepared to see either the next
Democratic Presidential candidate or the
Vice Presidential candidate induct ID into
the Presidency. The exigency is worth
contesting in the most vigorous and sys-
temalic manner, and the contest cannot
begin too soon.
The democrats have already made a
gain OF one in Oregon, which, we believe,
with tim, ly and iudicious effort, the re-
publicans might have secured. 1t will
not do to throw away any more chances.
The States that have been mentioned as
doubtful and likely TO constitute the bait lie
ground of he campaign are Connecticut,
New York, New Jersey, Ohio, Florida,
California aud Colorado We cannot but
look upon Colorado as perfectly safe, if the
republicans there make even an ordinary
degree of effort. Ohio has been thrown
into the doubtful clsss with the sheer de-
sign of a democratic majority of members.
The scheme was ordered from Washing
ton, against the remonstrance of MANY
Ohio democrats. 1t is so outrageous, how
ever. that it is possible it may fail under
the popular indignation. 1t will be
seen that twenty will be the need
ed majority in the next House to
choose a President by States. The strug-
gle will be severe and t. doubtful
ono. but it is, surely, worth the while of
the republican party to carefully canvass
the best fields of effort and to lay it ont
energe,ical Y and determinedly.

The death of Abby II. Smith recalls singular
fact in connection with this family, the fatal re-
currence of tue period of seven years, in the
deaths of the sisters. Thus, Lauria Aleroyla
died in 49, and in 1864 occurred the death OF
the next one, Cyrnthis Sscretia. Seven years
later, in 1871, came the death of Nancy H.. and
the two survivors were accustomed to say that in
1873 one of them would probably dc--and the
event, oddly enough, has proved the truth of the
rule. Four OF the five sisters have died at times
separated each at an interval Of seven wears.

Wednesday Evening. July II. 1878. !
GENERAL REMARKs.-T intense heat that
has prevailed for several days was somewhat
modified by cOpiOus shower this morning,
and the day was comparatively pleasant,
quite strong breeze blowing from the east.
The Cotton marked ruled strong, and the
demand was good, with sales Of 100 bales.
This was brought about by the favorable tenor
of foreign advices.
In the Flour trade to-day there was an I'M
usual dullness. The feeling was weak and
prices were barely maintained. Holders man
ifested desire to sell freely because Of the
limited demand. The sales amounted to about
$50 bbs.
In Corn Meal there has been to-day quite
an excitement, and prices advanced on some
transactions 1O015c, the market closing
strong at 50 6OG2 IS for choice qualities.
Sales amounted to only 275 bbls.
Early In the morning there was better
feeling In Pork, but later, the demand being
limited, the market ruled and closed dull and
easy, with prices unchanged at $40 25@1O
371a u bbl.
Dealers, who hold most of the Corn on the
market, are asking such stiff prices that the
demand is light for that commodity.
In Baconed Meats there is a steadier and
stronger feeling, and it is growing every day.
This and the next month are the months in
which the demand for Baconed Meats is great
est, and we may now look forward to steady
market in those products Of the hog for some
time to come. For Dry Salt Meats there was
good demand to-day, though the offerings
were moderate.
For Bacon there was good speculative de-
mand, with a material advance in prices,
sales footing up about 100 packages, princi-
pally clear sides. The demand for consump-
tion was also good, and the market closed
stiff.
CoTToN-Infuenced by favorable foreign
adyices, and good demand here, the market

A SHAMEFUL SToRY.-Wm. Michael Hahn,
ex-secretary and financial manager OF the
Teutonia Savings Bank Of New York, which
was placed in the hands Of q receiver several
months ago, tells q shameful story In regard
to the conduct Of that institution. Briefly
Mr.. Hahn declares under oath that, being
urged to do SO by the trustees, he bought
bonds for the bank at various times, charged
them In the bank books at higher figures than
he paid for them, and divided the difference
equally among the trustees from time to
time, taking the money out OF the bank funds.
He gives dates and amounts, and asserts that
the trustees knew perfectly well where the
money came from and how 1t came He also
asserts that up to 1876 percentage OF the
salaries paid to the president treasurer and
himself was actually divided among the trus-
tees. The receiver has instituted suit against
the fourteen trustees OF the bank to recover
$29, 344, which it is alleged they converted TO
their own use. Judge Donohue has granted
on order of arrest for all the officers and the
directors, and fixed their bail at $4,000 each.

eli, other States, o vast amount OF injustice,
not to say rascality, has been practlced both
bv the insured and the Insurance companies
The insured would obtain policies for perhaps
twice what their property was worth, and
then set 1t ON fire and burn 1t up. Such prae-
tices were specially active on a. falling
market. Rascals made 1t o regular business
to sell their property or goods for far more
than they were worth to the insurance com
panies by burning them up. On the other
hand, the trick of insurance agents was to In,
sure for all that owners would
allow, thus securing double premiums on the
real value of the property. When 1t burned
up, they quietly offered TO replace the prop
erty- q thing they could easily do at half the
face Of the policy-or offer to pay whatever
cash starving builders would offer to rebuild
for. The Wisconsin law sweeps away by p
single and very iudcious enactment all
temptation to rascality on both sides. In
surance agents will now be careful not to t
take risks on property for more than it Is
worth; or, better, as is the proper theory OF
insurance, write only for two-thlrds Of what
1t is worth, thus making the owner take part
Of the risk, and also making 1T his interest to
protect his property by every means IN his
power. SO just and good law should be
copied In all the States.
