It will be noticed that the falling off was al
most entirely in the receipts from distilled
spirits and tobacco; seven-eighths Of the loss
being on spirits and the other eighth from to-
baceo. This is owing almost entirely to the
attempted legislation In Congress last winter
for the reduction of the tax on whisky and
tobacco Pending the result Of that agta-
tion the manufacture largely fell off, and the
consequence was an actual loss to the govern
ernment of nearly $8,000000. This will be
seen more clearly from the following table of
In january when the reduction OF the tax
was first proposed, the receipts, which had
been running with regularity, fell off about

Gen. Howard has been holding a
conference with Chief Moses and
other eN.bel'igerent Savagcs,
y Sunday School Convention for
Oregon and Washington Territory is
called to meet in Portland, October
Sth and 9th. Blanks have been is
sued to various pastors who are ex.
pected to fill them out with the de-
sired information and return at once
to the secretary, Rev. II. w. STRAIT
ton, OF Portland. The basis of rep
resentation will be two delegates
from each School, numbering 80 in
average attendance, or less, and an
additional delegate for each 25 in
excess of that number. All Sunday
Schools in Oregon, Washington and
Idaho, are invited to send delegates.
1t is absolutely necessary that the
pastors throughout Oregon and
Washington Territory should Coop
crate in this movement, and that the
blank form issued by the secretary
should be carefully filed and re-
turned at an early day.
While the country is being con-
vulsed in consequence of endeavors
to solve the "Finance" and Labor"
questions, so inseparably connected
with public veal, the great yellow
Fever scourge of the South comes in
for ITS share of national attention.
The ravages Of this epidemic are
simply terrible. New Orleans, Vicks-
burg, Memphis, Grenada and Baton
Rouge, report many hundred new
cases each day, while the death rate
is simply appalling. Business of all
kinds is almost suspended, cities pre-
sent deserted and distressing ap.
pearance, hundreds are flying before
the malaria, and hundreds - yes
thousands-are suffering unattended.
Many have died in by-ways, and
been reported as having lain two or
three days before being discovered
and buried. In 1853 the number of
deaths from Yellow Fever in the city
of New Orleans was estimated to ap-
proximate eight thousand; but the raw
ages of the same disease in Southern
cities this year bid fair to rival any
thing before known. Surely this
disease is "Pestilence that walketh
in darkness, and stalketh abroad in
MONDAY" Help has been solicited
for the sufferers almost all over the
Union, and appeals seldom go un-
needed; but mere financial assist
ance can avail nothing in purifying
the poisonous atmosphere. Sanitary
measures, aside from affording tenn
porary relief to actual sufferers, can
do nothing save to provide in meas
ure against a recurrence of like evils.
We who reside on the healthful
shores of Puget Sound complain
though we may of hard times, poor
crops, or even malignant fevers)
know not fltieth part of the fear.
full evils our brethren of the South
have to contend against.
