Ben Hills remarkable "fraud' let
ter has revived an old story concern
ing an interview between President
Hayes and Hannibal Hamlin, a year
and half ago. As Washington
CORES pondent Of the Cleveland Leader
tells it, Mr.. Hamlin called at the
White House before leaving for his
home at the close of The special ses-
sion Of the Senate which met at the
time Of the Inauguration of the Presi-
dent. He told the President he had
called from a sense of duty, which he
hoped would not be considered an
impertinence. He had been in
Congress to see the mistakes of eight
Presidents, and he wished to warn
him against danger of trusting the
promises of Southern Democrats.
They will fatter you and court you,"
he added, $50 long as you are of any
use to them, but when they have got
what they want they will kick and
malign you They are an ungratetul,
hypocritical set Of rascals, and | hope
you will have nothing to do with
them" The President thanked the
venerable Senator for his kindness,
but replied that he was sure he was
mistaken, for he had seen good deal
of Senators Hill, Gordon and Lamar,
and others, and respected them very
highly. $50 | hear" burst out the
old gentleman, "and I'll be blanked
if it is any credit to you" Perhaps
Mr.. Hills letter will show the Presi-
dent that experience is after all
pretty good guide in politics .-New

A prominent Chicago physician, DR..
n. S. Davis. who has given great at.
tention to the subject of yellow fever,
takes bold but plausible ground
against the theory that the fever is
contagious-that is, communicable
by individual travelling from infected
localities to neighboring or distant parts
Of the country. He presented, in a
lecture last Monday evening, strong
data in support of bis position, both
from the now prevailing epidemic in
the South and from the history of
former epidemics there and elsewhere.
The doctor is of the opinion that yel
low fever is caused by certain local at
mospheric conditions, which could
readily be obviated by the health
authorities of cities and towns taking
the precaution early in the opening of
the warm season, to enforce a rigid
system of drainage, cleanliness and
disinfection. He deems quarantine
regulations utterly useless as a protec.
ton against the introduction or spread
of the epidemic, and almost equally
useless does he deem extraordinary
efforts to stamp out the diseases by
disinfection after it has once gained
headway, the time for the enforcement
of sanitary measures being before the
disease has had an opportunity to
develop itself.

Financially Gone Up.
NEW York. Oct. Is.

NEW DIRK, OCt. lC.
The authentic figures of actual fail
ures all over the United States during
the third quarter of the year have
been awaited with more interest than
usual, owing to the large numbers who
sought to avail themselves of the Ma
tionaI Bankrupt law, prior to Its ex-
piration on September lst. Statistics
for each quarter for the first nine
months of the year are now furnished
by the Merchantile Agency of Dunn,
Barlow & Brother, as follows: Num-
Der of failures for third quarter Of
1878, S53; liabilities for last quarterf
s66, 900 900, as compared with S42,
100000 for same period of 1877.
For the first nine months of 1878 the
failures numbered S,758, as compared
with 6,565 for the same period in lo-
II; liabilities for the first nine months
of 1878, sl97, 100000, against Sl4l,-
O0O,0 900 for the first nine months of
1877. 1t is admitted that the petitions
in bankruptcy filed in the period
named considerably exceed the figures
gwen above, but it must be understood
that large number of applicants for
relief were either those whose failures
had been previously y reported, or those
who had gone out of business or were
not engaged in merchantile pursuits,
and hence not included in the mercan-
tile failures. The above figures refer
to the failures only among those who
were in active business and suspended
payment during the period under re-
view. The agency considers that the
number Of actual failures was not as
large as mi ght have been anticipated.
among 700 900 traders reported in
business, and in view Of the temptation
offered to certain relief from past mis-
fortunes or antici pated embarrs
The trade of the country is believed to
have survived what threatened to be a
serioes shock to the confidence aud to
the credit growing out of the circum-
stances of the repeal of the bankrupt
law; and excepting the unfortunate
epidemic 10 the South, the general
conditions of trade are more healthy
than at any time since 1878.

A Good Hit.

The Chicago Tribune tells a good
story of Hon. b. W. Keyes which has
the merit of being true. Mr.. Keyes is
making excellent speeches through out
the State this tall, in favor of honest
money. It seems that at New Lis
bon, where Mr. Keyes and Congress-
man Pound were holding mass m eet-
ing, the former was expatiating on the
Greenback lunacy, and was trying to
show that the mere fiat of the Govern
ment was insufficient to make good
money. He said that Divine Will had
decreed that gold should be precious
metal for all time aud among all peo pie,
and that when the fiat went forth that
there should be light. there was light.
Here Greenback idiot in the crowd
cried out: THE fiat of the govern
ment makes as good money as [ want"
Keyes turned upon him and said:
The fat of the Government is one
thing, and the fat of the Almighty is
another. But there is one thing the
Almighty cannot do. He cannot lay
His hand upon your head and say,
Here is an honest, intelligent man."
Of course the audience, roared, and
the crestfallen fnancier went to the
rear for repairs.

The Greenback Collapse.

The Western Nationals were, after
all, playing what they wouldj call a
"bluf game," and scared the weak
kneed Democrats on very ''thin
hand" A comparison Of their posi-
tive published "claims" before the
election and the net result makes their
movement ridiculous. The National
Greenback organs claimed 100000
votes in Indiana and three Congress-
men. They cast in that State. where
they are strongest, only 10000 votes,
and with the help the Democrats, not
by their own votes, elected one Con-
gresham They claimed 100, 900 votes
in Ohio and three Congressman, and
they cast, as nearl y as we can tell from
imperfect returns less than 0,00Ovotes
and elected no Congressman. They
claimed a Congressman in West Vir-
ginia, but elected none. Having made
a combination with the Democrats in
Iowa, they claimed four Congressman,
but, with the bel p of Democratic votes,
managed to elect only two, and it is
clear that if they had stood alone
they would have got none.
That is to say, they had not
in Ohio and Indiana, the two States
where they have the greatest strength,
a third of the vote they claimed, and
if it had not been for Democratic help
they would not have elected single
Congressman anywhere. 1t is absurd
for them to talk any longer of great
popular movement. The tide is setting
fast against them and they have made
their largest showing, and that amounts
to just three Democratic Representa-
tives elected by the assistance of
Greenback votes. That is all, and
it is a pretty poor second fiddle.

EXPLOITATION OF BEEvERs.-Sec-
retary Everts has been officially notii-
ed of the passage of an act by the
British Parliament entitled The Con-
tagiuos Diseases (Animal) Act, 1873"
under which, except in the case of
countries specially exempt by Privy
Council, in whole or in part from the
operations of the act, all animals land
ed from abroad in any part of the
United Kingdom will, after the lst
of January next, be slaughtered at the
port of debarkation. The British
Government has also notified Secretary
Evarts that, In case the United States
desires to be exempted from the opera
tions of the act, the Lords will require
a statement of the laws which regulate
the importation of animals into this
country, and the method adopted to
prevent the spreading of any contagi.
Gus disease when it exists in any part
of the United States. Secretary Evarts
has sent the copy of the act of the
British Parliment to Secretary Sher-
man, Of the Treasury, in order that he
may furnish in desired information
preliminary to any action being taken
to have the animals shipped from the
United States into the United King
dom exempted.
