Silver.

The period for an active RESUMPTION of
mining in the west is at hand. In short
time we shall have reports of increased out
puts in all directions and the organization of
new companies. If these are conducted on
proper principles there will be no further
break downs. What we want now is practi-
cal mining and no kitefying. This feeling is
already exercising a Sa'uta,y influence at the
exchanges, and the business of dealing
in mining stocks is assuming legt-
innate character. This will soon inspire
public confidence ia these securities and with
out causing boom, possibly. will put this
class Of shares high upon popular estima-
ton and give promise of perfect safety, and
fair if not heavy profits.
In London the price of silver Is being con-
stant.y forced upward, and the advices from
India are to the effect that it will experience
no decline shortly in consequence of the need
of ready money in business transactions.
Germany is trying to ease up OH her single
standard policy, and the use OF silver is be-
coming quite general again. All the nations
Of the Latin union have cone to the conclu-
sion thai silver is a necessary part Of the cur
rency, and with the development IF Russia,
the use of the secondary metal is rapidly ex-
| tending. From these facts there is but one
inference to be drawn, and that is that all
the silver we can raise this year will be
promptly taken at better prices than now pre-
vail
1t is hardly safe to look for settlement of
the double standard question by the inter-
national monetary conference, but it is as
suring to know that majority OF the men,
hers will favor liking the rate at l5 of silver
| to l of gold, and the recommendation will
he made that both metres be of equal weight
| in coinage. The steps taken will be likely tO
advance the bi-metalic theory, and in the end
scheme will be devised for the coinage OF
silver and gold money tnat will pass
current all over the world. The delegates
from England and Germany will argue in
favor of the single standard, but the former
will be influenced in a large degree by the in.
terests OF India, which demand the use of &
large volume Of silver. The commercial eff
feet of the whole movement must be to ad
vance our mining interests. The demand fol
silver and gold is already greatly augmented
and the profits Of mining will probably grow
rapidly this year,

Three months ago, when two hundred OF

lowing:
To the Editor of the Albany Argus:
The spring will be fairly early, hot and
dry, and the midsummer cool and wet. The
autumn promises to be open, dry and fine.
There is likely to be a great deal OF sickness
during the year, but the weather-except a
few isolated sections-will be favorable to
agricultural pursuits. The winter Of 1852
bids tair to be open and generally mlld, with
but few, and those sh0rt-lived storm periods.

A Religious Paper on Gu,,e,u

The Christian at Work, anent the
Guiteau trial with its glib tong,.ed
talk about his being inspired to com.
init murder, says "there has been a
great deal of irreligious talk about
religious things, aud much of the
pious prattle of people who mean
well enough is little better than pro-
ianation. A great deal of the re-
liglous apathy of our day is the natu-
raj recoil of heart from language
about Deity and sacred things which
shock .uhe sensibilities and makes
piety seem akin to blasphemy. 1t is
impossible not to feel sometimes, after
hearing people, who presume that
they are religious, talk of God and
the deepest experiences of the soul,
that the dlvinest words in human Ian
gusge need to be washed and per-
tuned before they can again be used"

THE HEALTH OF WASHING
TON CITY

During those long summer days
when the heart of the nation lipgere,
with the wounded president IN tn
White House, we all heard a grea
deal about the uDheallhfulness o
Washington city, and espc cially thoe'
Iortions contiguous to The Potoma'
ront. Correspondents wrote of thu
.. Potomac Marshes" and the poison
US malaria exudipg therefrom wa
pictured in graphic terms as the oe''
4 nolr of Washington. Time ana asah
we were told malaria was sapplng the
nrasident's strength even more fear
ulIy than bis wound. This persist
emf description of the uuhealthful'
ness of Washington could not have but
one result. The public believed the
reports and one of the earliest reso
Iutions introduced during the present
session Of congress was that offered
by Senator Ransom, of North Caro-
hna, for The appointment of a con-
gressional committee, to report upon
! the relation of the Potomac river to
the health of Washington. But there
are generally two sides to every ques'
ton. Againt the rather sensational
accounts of the unheslthfulncss ol
Washington we have some medica
testimony that merits respectful and
thoughtful consideration, if not per
fect cred ence. 1t appears that, moYed
by the reports we have touched
so briefly, committee of the
Medical Society OF -the District o
Columbia, DIR. Harvey Lindsey,
chairman, have instituted a forma
and rigid investigation of the hygenit
condition of Washington. Their re
port is presented in the Medical and
Surgical Reporter" December 10th
We lack space to pres ent it entire, bul
its substance will prove interesting
to the public at large. The committee
DENY the unhealt thfulEcss of Washing
ton. They point to he mean annual
death rate of the district of Colum5ia
for nearly seven years, which was
only q. 30 ineyery l 900 of population
These figures carry their own logic.
They are remarkably small. Other
metropolitan cities throughout the
Union 20 far beyond this rate. We
know towns here in Texas, some
of them very near us,
where the mean annual death rate
will exceed that shown for Washing
ton. Whatever of malarial disease
there is, the committee attribute to
such natural and potent causes as sew.
er-gas, the use OF unwhOlCsome food,
1yer-crowdihg of tenement houses
ETC., as are likely to prevail III large
titles. The anomalous condition OF the
Potomac flats is conceded, but it is
denied that the White House
IS an unhealthy locality on
this account. During eighty
one years only TWO presidents OHarri-
sou and Taylor died there, and then
)nly after "short illness in no way de-
pendent on climatic influences"
Otherwise the presidents haye en-
Dyed good health. With few RENE
lial measures, suggested by the com
nittee, they claim that Washington
will be one of the most healthy cities
Ii the country. Coming from the
ource 1t does this report must com
nand marked respect, and there can
e little doubt but it will ptfiord salts
action to the country. Washington

ion, its heslthiness and consequent

is a matter of interest to all
ltelligent citizens.

The News, of yesterday morning
has a dispatch from Washington tt
the effect that bill will be introduced
this session by some one of the Texa,
delegation 10 settle the disputed
boundary between the United States
and Texas as TO Greer county. The
interior department, says the News
correspondent, holds that the area
embraced by Greer county belongs to
the United States, and its occupation
as Texas territory is forbidden; while.
on the other hand, Texas authorities
claim the territory, and Texas land
scrip is being located thereon.
Debate on the measure will doubtless
be sectional, because it is alleged On the
northern side that if the Unite States
relinquishes its claim, the territory
will be absorbed by scrip issued by
Texas to invalid Confederate soldiers.
Northern men hold that the effect of
that law is TO pension persons for ser.
vices rendered in the war OF the re-
belhon so-called, and think that the
law is i'll violation of the amendments
to the constitution of the United
States. The Texas delegation believe
they have a strong point i'll favor of
the Texas claim, aside from the gen
eral evidence of title, in the fact that
the Forty-fifth congress districted the
state of Texas into three federal dis
riots and incorporated Greer county
n the northern judicial district, thus
the jurisdiction of Texas !
,ver that territory without objection s
rom any quarter. n
