SENATOR BEN II. HILL.
The Trouble from Which He is Suffering
and HO,U 1t Has Been Aggravated.

and HOsv 1t Has Been aggravated.
augusta (Ga constitutional
1t is surprising that Senator Hill, of
Georgia, should have for so long tt me
neglected a dangerous form of cancer
upon his tongue. 1t is true that he aban-
doned the use of cigars and had sharp
tooth filed down, but there was no per-
manent cure. His case, we understand had
been referred to an irregular practitioner
in New York without benefit. Why he
did not submit his trouble to some dis
tinguished member of the profession in the
South, we do not know. No one would
ever have suspected, when calling on
him or witnessing his wonderful forensic
displays in the Senate, that there was
anything serious the matter with him.
And yet it appears, beyond all doubt,
that he was menaced with frightful
disorder, and one, too, that must have
eventuated in death by no means remote.
Under date of the I'd, correspondent of
the Columbus Enquirer-Suaa informs the
public that Mr. Hill is now in private
rooms at Jefferson college. By irregular
treatment his disease degenerated into
epithelioma, involving the sublingual
gland to more or less extent. After due
dellberation and consultation, it was de-
cided by his surgical advisers, Prof Sam
uel D. Gross and Prof. William H.
Pancoast, that the operation was impera-
tive This took place at the hospital on
July 20. The operation was an exten
sive one, necessltating the removal of Tho
sublingual gland and a portion OF the
4 - = . h. 1of
side. Senator Hill has none of his fami-
ly with him and but few friends; he has
excellent quarters and accommodations.
He is under the charge of two Georgians,
DR.. J. l.. Wright, of Warren county,
Georgia, and DR.. Fl. j. Williams, of Ma
con, both resident physicians in charge
He is doing well. DR.. Pancoast informed
the Enquirer correspondent that he felt
that Senator Hill would in
short time recover aud en-
jov his wonted health. We are very glad,
indeed, to have such assurances of our
distinguished friends case. Mr.. Hills
place in the Senate could not be we'll
supplied at this time. There is some
concern lest the excision of a part of the
tongue should affect articulation. This
would be misfortune for so great an
orator, advocate, and statesman. There
is also some anxiety lest, in an emergency,
Senator Hill should not be able to take
his seat in the Senate. We aliude to the |
contingency of a special session at no
distant period. The people of Georgia |
will watch with much interest the prog
ress of their senior Senator to recovery,
and welcome him back to health aud USE

POLICE NOTES.

MAGISTRATE coMNGs' DOCKET YESTERDAY.
Marshal Myers discovered James Csndee
in nude state, on Ohio levee, Monday,
He undertook to arrest him, but James ran
toward the rivers edge and gathered up
rocks. The marshal was not intimdated,
however, and captured him before he had
time to throw. But James refused to dress
himself and the marshal could not dress
him by force without hurting him, unless
he was assisted. Therefore, he called upon
q by-stander to help. The by-stander
hesitated, saying that he belonged to the
militia. "All right" said the marshal, ''if
you belong to the militia, I guess you can
drill, so march down here and take hand,
or I'll clap you both in Jail" The militia
man could drill and he marched, and it
was not long before James was dressed and
in jail. Yesterday he was fined five dollars
and costs.
Officer Bunker arrested John Hooks for
maltreating his wife, who lives on Twenty
eighth street. John was fined five dollars

that shannessy did the cutting. The wit

other side, shannessy was followed around
by Lawson, who sought him out in
the saloon in which the cutting was done,
abused him and strove to do him bodily in

defense, Both lawyers argued the case at

favorable light with the result as above

THE BULLETIN was not the Cairo pa

people of Cairo were maintaining an I'M
philanthropc municipal government. Mr..
Skinner can have received his unfavOrable
opinion of Cairo from but two sources the
garbled and moss covered account Charles
Dickens wrote nearly half century ago, or
from more recent, but equally slanderous,
publications, which, as before stated, did
not appear in THE BULLETIN. While il
was perfectly natural that he should form a
very bad opinion of the place from these
publications. the fact that he accepted
them as truthful and allowed himself to be
lead thereby into making remark that did
Cairo the greatest injustice and into an ac-
ton that he will have reason to regret,
stands against him.

James took the matter under advisement

ton of the slate, but he has now decided
to retire and leave to subordinates the pros

lie may be prepared for the nomination of
ex-senator Frelinghuysen for secretary Of
state, and of Judge Folger for the treasury
department. The attorney generalship is
equally balanced between George s. Bout
well, of Massachusetts, and B, II. Brewster
of Philadelphia, and it may fall to Solicitor
General Phillips. Robert T. Lincoln is
certain to be secretary of war, and General
Edward S. Beale will, doubtless, take the
navy portfolio. Timothy o. Howe has been
partially promised the postmaster general
ship, and the interior department may be
conferred upon A. A. Sargent, of California,
or prominent ex-senator from the west.

Upon Investigation the treasury de-
partment finds that mutiated silver coins
are, as a general rule, so cut that one TWEEN
ty.tifth of their value is thereby extracted
When the mint bureau is enabled to give
an approximate value Of all mutilated coin,
a thing that heretofore it has been impossi-
BILE to furnish, in making an estimate of
the real value of mutilated silver, there
should be deduction of one-twenty- fifth
from the values represented as below,
which are the real bullion values of the
general coins. Trade dollar, SO $40; silver
dollar, 81 2.l0; half-dollar, 40 $40; quar-
ter-dollar, 20 4-10; twenty-cent pieces, 16
4-10; dime, s 2.10. The silver coins Of less
face value than the dollar, are issued for
change purpose only, and are intentionally
overvalued to prevent their being exported.
The alloy of the gold and silver coins,
which is copper, is of such slight value that
it is not reckoned in estimating the value
of the coins, and is put in principally to
make the coins durable.
