General Ewing has submitted to the
Committee of Banking and Currency, a
proposition, which will be considered at
the next meeting. 1t is to amend the Re-
sumption Act so that the Secretary Of the
Treasury shall be prohibited from selling
any more bonds for resumption purposes;
o., in other words, it is to so fix the law
that if the drain on the Treasury for gold
is so great that it can not be met with coin
on hand, the Secretary shall have no way
by which he can increase his coin balance.
It is Mr.. Ewing's aYowed intention, as ex-
pressed in the committee, to prevent re-
sumption from being permanent. He said
that specie payments could not and should
not be permanent in financial transactions
Of the Government. he is the only man
in Congress who has taken this position,
and he finds no sympathy in the committee,
which will probably pigeon-hOle his propo-
sition.

The decision of the Potter Committee to
go into an investigation Of the cipher dis
patches will be hailed with general satisfac-
tionby all, with the possible exception of
those persons who were most directly inter-
ested in sending and receiving them. They
show upon their face a depth of political
corruption and intrigue that surprised the
people, and the only course left was to in
vestigate them in a legal manner. Wheth-
er or not Mr.. Tilden was directly party to
the transaction remains to be shown. They
have, however, been brought so close to his
doors that he can hardly escape a portion
of the responsibility. The evidence that
such cipher dispatches we're sent and re-
ceived, and that the key to their transla-
ton is a correct one, is Of such character
that leaves no doubt of their genuineness.
Some little curiosity will be felt to learn
the line of defense that will be pursued.

Spreading Diphtheria by Kisses.

From the report of the physicians in at
tendance upon the grand ducal family OF
Hesse-Darmstadt during the recent out
break Of diphtheria which resulted in the
death of Princess Alice, the range OF the
disease appears to haYe been sharply lin
tied. From November 9th to the 14th, six
of the family were attacked; on the 9th,
Princess Victoria, aged 16; in the night
from the 18th to the 18th Princess Alice,
aged 6; on the 18th Princess Mary, aged 4;
in the night from the 18th to the 18th,
Princess Irene, aged 12; in the afternoon
of the 18th. the Hereditary Grand Duke
Ernst Ludwig, aged 10; and on the l4th,
the Grand Duke himself. Of the entire
family, the Grand Duchess princess Alice
of Great Britain) and one daughter Prin-
cess Elizabeth) only were spared at that
outbreak of the disease. The Grand
Duchess, however, was attacked afterward.
Immediately after the first member Of the
family princess Victoria) had fallen i'll
she was seen by a physician and at once
separated from all the others. The same
caution was observed after the falling i'll
of the other princesses, but without pre-
venting the outbreak of the disease in the
rest of the family. In all cases there were
large patches of false membrane on the
tonsils, and in most of them swelling Of
the Emphatic glands in the angle OF the
jaw. All the patients recovered with the
exception of Princess Mary, in whose case
the disease from its very beginning had
shown a very insidious character. No
member Of the household lin all 60 persOns),
no nurse, no physician was infected. 1t
is, therefore, clear, the British Medical
Journal asserts, that 'all the cases were
produced by direct infection, doubtless by
KISSES" The physicians ascribe the in
tensity and limited extension of the epi-
demic to three conditions: 1. To the in
tensity of the. infection carried from out
side, because the membrane in the case OF
the first patient princess Victoria) looked
from their very appearance discolored and
!, to the direct transference
us matter by kisses; 3, to
of the mucous membrane OF
of the pharynx Of the in
s, all of them having suffered
ily from acute and chrome
hese parts.
to be derived from this not
experience is very clear.

ng for adults to have diphtheria

roat resulting from cold; yet
