The Assistant Treasurer q. New York

The Assistant Treasurer ct New York
writes to the Treasury Department in
Washington City: "There hes been
no change in the movement of gold. 1t
still continues TO accumulate in our
vaults, whilst the amount OF certificates
outstanding remain stationary. There
is really no demand for gold, as it is less
convenient to handle. Not only the un-
usual production, but the imports, which
are likely to be very large this fall, will
naturally take the same direction. This
accumulation in the stock OF coin in
the Treasury. in view of the fact customs
duties are now paid in United States
notes and silver certificatee, is conclu.
sive evidence of the general belief in the
equality of those notes and in the per-
mansncy of resumption. It will soon be
necessary to use portion of the silver
vault for the storage Of gold"
The late election in California resulted
in G Republican victory, they electing
the State officers and tho four Congress-
men. The complete count in San Fran
cisco gives the following result:
The Workingmen elect the Mayor,
Sheriff, Auditor. Treasurer. Tax Col.
lecter, Public Administrator, City and
County Attorneys, Police Judge, ono

The Black Death,

Europe is much alarmed over the
appearance Of the plague in Russia,
where in few months it has made
great progress, depopulating several
villages and towns in the southeast
crn portion of the empire. Cordons
of troops surround the infected vii
lagcs and prevent all ingrcss and
egrcss. Other nations are enforcing
rigid quarantine laws. The plague
or black death, as it is called, is a
scourgc to which the yellow fever is
as nothing. Its first appearance was
i'll Athens during the Peloponncsian
war, several centuries before Christ.
But not until the fourteenth century
did 1t become scourgc to the entire
world, travelling, as it did then, from
the eastern boundaries of Asia
through China, India and Russia, and
Furnishing with equal severity tho
inhabitants Of the Pyrcncan peninsula
and the hardened peoples Of Scandi-
navia and Iceland. The Indians OF
America even had tradition of q
dreadful epidemic that once visited
their shores. 1t ragged in Asia and
Europe at that time for twenty-five
years, and destroyed over fifty mil.
lions of people. 1t devastated Lon
don in tho seventeenth century, and
was only checked by the conflagratior
that almost swept that city away
Since that time it has not appeared as
aplaguc, but it has always existed
more or less, in the swampy regions
around the Caspian and Black Seas
The appearance Of the plague at thi
time is we'll calculated to make til,
world shuddcr, and to cause the en-
actmcnt Of the most rigid hygicni,
laws.

comes from Pennsylvania. Governor
: IIartranft saved pcMnsyivauia to the
Republicans in 1872. Rr-ci2ctod in
1870, he was II prominent Presidential
candidate in 1876, receiving on one
ballot twenty votes more than Hayes.
His friends still pushed his claims as
a possibility in 1880. On the death
Of Bayard Taylor, few weeks ago,
the entire Pennsylvania delegation
pressed Hartranft for the Mission to
/ Berlin. Gossip gave him tho most
prominent place in the contest. But
few days ago it was announced that
! Governor IIartranit had been ap-
pointcd-postmaster Of Philadelphia.
This is nice plum, five thousand q
year and patronage, but it was quito
q step below the executive mansion
Of the second State in the Union, and
all Pennsylvania rose in arms at the
slight. Hartranft, however, con-
cluded to accept the place, and he is
now licking stamps in the City Of
Brotherly Love, instead Of quailiing
schooners Of beer with Wilhelm and
Bismarck. The true inwurdncss Of
this appointment is said to be q desire
on the part of, Hayes to put thorn
in the side of Don Cameron aud to
raise an anti-Cameron party in Penn
sylrania. The collcctorship and the
directory Of the mint will also be
filled by enemies Of Cameron. Don
and old Simon arc both very angry,
but the former sided with Conkiing
in the New York appointment en-
broglio, ard has no rights Hayes is
bound to respect. This is but one OF
many instances Of the pccul;ariiics Of
the President, and his appointments
IN the next twenty days Will be
anxiously looked for.

upon the question Of repeating the

is divided OH the second proposition
1t is urged that only California will
elect Congressman this fall, and that
Congress next winter can repeal the
law in time for 1880, without com.
pelling all extra session now. While
we have advocated al aggressive
course, we must confess that the Oh.
position Of such men as Bayard and
Herman, especially the former, should
make the Democrats weigh the conse-
qucnccs carefully.

They ore said to be caused by the
disinterment Of bodies that were

1t has heretofore boen believed that
frost was specific for this fever, but
these cases occurring in mid-wintcr
arc very alarming. Grave fore

Some months since q sensational &C
count was tclcgraphcd of meteor
that descended through the roof OF u
house and killed the owner thereof as
nc lay asleep. 1t was an easy thing
for an ablc-Dodied, energetic meteor
to Do, but subsequent investigation
seems to throw il cloud over the prob
ability Of the story. "hc house, it
seems, stands at least fifty feet away
from where the meteor fell; the man
was away from home that night; and,
lastly, the meteor didn't fall.
