A singular criticism is made in letter to the London Standard upon the proposed government savings banks for small savings in England. The writer of it, who is in business, thinks that the effect of such a thing would be to set the young, especially young clerks, to stealing from the till just little at a time, and that result of it would be to increase temptation and so crime. The writer omits any calculation as to the num- ber of young clerks who would steal for the sake of putting money in a savings bank.
 Credit is given to MT. Blaine for the in- vention of check upon fraud in election re- turns. It is nothing more nor less than a proposition that hereafter, when the official election returns are sent to the State House, they shall be accompanied by a sworn copy of the check list. The advantage would be that, if any dispute arose about the vote of

There is no danger that pensions for rebel soldiers will ever be asked. Oh, mol J. J. McLemore, candidate for Congress in Ala bama, announces himself as favoring, among other good things for the South, the pension ing of Confederate soldiers and national cemeteries for Confederate dead. He grand iloquently says t'Of the Federal soldiery, marble slabs proudly mark the hallowed spots where sleep the martyrsd fallen, and gilded annuities gem the bosoms of the hon. ored living. While of the Confederate or Southern, the dead moulder unrecognized -expatriated- the living go unrewarded- This distinction should cease, and we should place our countrymen-Federal and Confed- crate, living and dead-upon the same planes of equality" Bear in mind that candidates are not apt to say things they think will dis please their hearers.

An agent of the Massachusetts board of health, which has been investigating the alarming increase of malarial fever in Massa- chusetts, particularly in the Connecticut val ley, has been looking into the epidemic of 'schills and fever" in Harrington, R. l., and pronounces the cases examined genuine inter mitteAt fever, commonly called fever and ague Cases now exist in all it's stages, and some with the characteristic 'ague cake," or enlarged spleen The majority of the cases have been at brick yard, where nearly two hundred workmen are collected, sleeping near the yard itself But the disease has not been confined to this locality at all. There have been cases in considerable number ct con- siderable distance from the brick yard, and which could have no possible origin from that locality The whole number of cases in the malarial district from the first of August to the present time has been at least 25O. Of 186 workmen at the brick yard, 1855 have had the disease, 1O3 being sick at one time At the present time there are about 60 cases, of which 30 to 35 are at the brick yard, and the rest are scattered through the malarial dis trict The agent thinks that in the propor- tion of cases to population, and in the severl- tv of the disease, the malarial district in Bar rineton is the worst he has visited, and worse than any he has heard of in New England, almost equalling the ague districts of the

One of the features of this campaign has been the audacity shown by the Democrats in announcing the conversion or perversion of staunch Republicans. striking instance of this is the statement that the surviving mem bers of the family of Joshua R. Giddings, the powerful and prominent friend of the slave, are supporters of Hancock. One of those thus slandered writes: ''I wish to say that it is not true that the surviving members of Joshua R. Giddings' family are supporters of Hancock His two sons be- lieve it dangerous to place the control of this Government in the hands of the solid South, and will work and vote for General Garfeld's election.

my TELEGRAPH TO THE Tribune.
WASHINGTON. Jan. ga paragraph was printed
in The TRIBUNE a few days ago IN which 1t was
represented that one official IN the Treasury De
partment could cause the issue of United States
bonds for which no equivalent had been received
and that transaction of this kind might go on un-
discovered for several months.
Mr. Fletcher chief OF the Loan Division. says
L" / am not aware Of the source of information IN
this case as it clearly understood that All the
testimony taken by Senator 'Dayiss committee
should for the present be considered confidential
and this consideration prevents me from divulgng
what did say az TO the method of issuing bonds.
But can say. with proprety. that did not make
any such admission as is attributed to me in IHK
1RIBUNE's dispatch"
II will be remembered that it was explicitly
stated the dispatch in question that there was no
suspicion that any unauthorized issue Of bonds had
ever taken place. Upon further inquiry it learned.
upon what is considered excellent authority, that
Mr. Fletcher when before the Davis Committee. ex-
planned the system of the issue of bonds. in the
course of which he said that several persons in his
Office were officially cognizant of every transaction
which occurred. He then asked if he had not
the right to perform the work Of any or all his sub
ordinates in ny transaction. lie replied IN the
affirmative He was then asked how soon and in
what way detection would ensue II he should take
advantage OF the right and issue an order upon the
Register for a bond of higher amount than the sum
named III the TreasureI's certificate 10 him. lie Is
said Ia have replied that the regularitv wonld be
discovered when his books were compared with
those Of the Treasurer Register. In reply TO the
iuunirv as TO how often such comparison Is made,
MIR Fletcher is reported TO have said that partial
COMPARISONS as TO totals are made with the Treas
urer,s book as often month, and at irregn-
lar intervals with the books Of the Register.
The testimony taken before the Davis Committee
is guarded with the utmost care and Mr.. Fletcher
exact words cannot be reported; but the above -
said 10 be their substance II is posi- bic that checks
upon MIR Fletcher's office exist Of which he knows
nothing as no irregularitv has ever occurred To
bring them TO his knowledge. It is also true, a,
Mr. Fletcher saws. that If he should undertake To
perform the duties of his clerks il would at once
arouse suspicion in his office and lead 10 an investi
cation.
