THE DISTURBANCE IN THE NEW ToRR MONEY
MARKET.
Efforts have been made to make It aupear
that the government was res ponsible for the
disturbance In the New York money market
yesterday The fact is the government sim
ply made a demand on the national deposito-
ries for fraction Of amount overdue for some
time on account Of the sale OF 4 per cents.
The demand as is usual, was made by letter,
giving the banks ample time to act without
disturbing the market; besides, the banks
knew that the money was overdue, and they
were liable to be called upon to pay 1t even
earlier than the date on which the call was
made.
THE FATE OF THE APPROPRIATION BILL.
There is no prospect OF early action ON the
army bill by the House. It Is known that the
majority OF the committees are opposed TO res
porting the appropriation bill pnre and simple
until every measure to secure the passage OF
It's political sections Is exhausted There will
be no action until the Caucus has spoken on
the subject. 1t is said that this body and
the majority OF the Appropriation Committee
are In accord. The committee seems to be
apprehensivs that should they report the bill
any shape, the Republicans, aided by the
Gresnbaekers and some favoring Democrats,
would control It's future

LONDON May f6--Ths election for Parlia-

Ireland was warmly contested. There are
577t registered electors id the county.
OGorman Mahon, the successful candidate,
WAS In Nationalist interest. He was returned
by narrow majority OF only $50. He was
opposed by Capt. Vandeair and Mr.. o BrieD,
we'll known Catholic barrister, who occu-
pied D high position on his circuit. and whose
family are intimately acquainted with the
county. At the last general election, County
Clare returned Lord Fras Conyngham and

GERMANY.
Bismarck Insists Upon q Protec-

How the New Tariff Bill Will Affect the
German Empire,
GERM 7.

LONDON, May tG-A dispatch from Berlin
says that the debate on the tariff bill In the
Reichstag has now continued for two weeks,
and although the government has consented
informally to some notifications Oh their
original measure, still much remains TO bs
accomplished before the bill will assume such
o shape as will insure for it the vote OF 9 ma
jority 81 Parliament. The position Of the
government On this measure il that some re-
form Of the methods Of levving customs and
taxation has become inevitable, and that this
reforra should not be partial, but COMPLETE,
inasmueh MS 1t would affect the finances Of
the empire, and, in fact, the whole financial
system of Germany
The government contends that the Empire
should be made financially independent, and
that the inequality now existing In the eonsti-
tutions Of the various States should be- re-
moved. Prince Bismarck argues that the
fixed Incomes should be taxed, and that un-
certain incomes should be left free, or at least
bardened very slightly. He lays stress on
the fact that personal property throughout
Germany is very unequally taxed, and that
this was the cause Of the depression af agri-
cultural interests and the low value Of land
and property.

MEMPHIS SCARED.
Foolish and False Reports Circulated About
the Sanitary Condition Here.

A prominent merchant in thi city showed
us yesterday the following let er from an
anxious correspondent In Memphis:
MEMPHIS, NJ y IA, 1879.
Deny Sri send you slip from lr to-day's
paper. Please write the true stat of the case
In your city. because, IL the feve, IL now In
your city, In all human probabilt before the
close Of the season it will reach S. | know
you can give me the true state OF he case.
We are very anxious about tn matter, in
order to make our future busin 50 arrange
ments. ***
We append the extract from the Memphis
paper:
Memphis Herald, May14
Several weeks ago Crsoles, or native born
people of New Orleans, passed through this
city, and quietly reported scattering cases OF
yellow fever among their nelghbors at home
They had no motive whatever In spreading
such reports but an honest one, and their
opinions are as worthy Of credence and belief
as the most skilled physician, many Of whom,
after forty years practice in their profession,
honestly admitting they know but little
more than common people on the fever dues-
ton. Now 1t seems that DR.. Chopin, q
learned doctor Of mn ordinary generation's
practice In his profession, says emphaticaliy
there Is no yellow fever in the Crescent City.
Private advices from merchants and others,
Is we'll as physicians who have been there to
investigate are at variance with his asser
tiOns. It fs an old story over about dis
agreement Of doctors. The thing happened
last year; yet the fever spread all the same.
Our friend will write in order to quiet the
apprehensions of the Memphis people, but re-
quests us to give publicity to the denial OF the
absurd story published by the Memphis paper.
There may be people stupid enough to go
about the country and, not knowing what
they speak or relating stories about yellow
fever cases in New Orleans, but these cannot
be Creoles. Our Creole population know
very well that there never is a case Of yellow
fever in New Orleans at this season Of the
year, People who know anything about the
city are aware that it has never been healthier
than it IS now; that not only there is no fever
here but all the climaterie conditions arc
against Its making m appearance Or Its
propagation il it did. Let our friends in
Memphis sleep secure and particularly not
grow paBicky over the reports OF ignorant
tramps or cruel practical jokers who take al
vantage ~ unsuspecting reporters.
