opinion of the Blaine Fisher correspon'
denee in 1876
''The Blaine letters prove all that he
has been charged with. The troublesome
fact is that there is low tone of public
morality in the estimation of the uses Of
public position FOR private gain. We
make no personal war upon Mr.. Blaine
His public record condemns him, and il
would be the very madness of the moon
for the Republican party to go to the
country under his leadership.

THE treasury department has in its

counterfeit makers and Showers" These
persons are of all ages, from the child of
fourteen to the gray haired sinner of
seventy. They represent every nation

Chinee. The latter, indeed, are much
more numerous than might be expected .
Those thrifty pagans are perhaps the

while the population has grown only 10

rTarsefIles and Rome.

WASHINGTON CITY, Aug H.-The secretary
Of state has received reports from our consul
generals at Rome and MarseiIles upon the
cholera in France and Italy. The
Gonsul at Marseilles confirms the
report that the epidemic is
rapidly disappearing, but that the return of
refugees, perhaps one-third of the population
of Marseilles and two thirds of Toulon, who
fled, causes great restitution and suffering.
Subscriptions, he says, are being
collected for the relief of the
destitute, and suggests that money
might also he collected in this country
for this purpose The report from Rome
shows that cholera was brought there by
Italian workmen returning from Marseilles
and Toulon, but it is rapidly disappearing.

GUAYMAs, Mexico, Aug. 27.-The captain
Of the port of Guaymas, has received an
official notice from the minister Of war that
Il vessel has arrived at Salinas Cruz with
Asiatic cholera on board. He instructs the
captain Of the port to allow no one to land
from vessels arriving from Salinas Cruz, or
from other ports lower on the coast The
official notice bears the date of the City of
Mexico, Aug. IS. Similar notices have
been received at Mazatlan, San Bias, Alfalfa,
Manzanilla, and other Pacific coast ports
Salinas Cruz is the chief port for the state
of Tehuantepec, and lies 1000 miles south of
Guaymas, on the Pacific 1t is considered
naccountable here that any person could ar
rive there from the infected districts of Eu-
rope. 1t is generally believed here that the
vessel in question is from China and brings
original cholera germs. The news causes
great uneasiness along the coast cities, it be

it were well to keep constantly in
mind the old, familiar adage, "An

the profusion of golden fruit of ma
ny kinds on the trees looks to the
average beholder like the natural
consequence of having been merely
planted, allow me to state that in
every instance the results have
been attained only by persistent

elsewhere, nothing of any great

of the worry and more of the con-
tentment, than in most of the
other States of the Union.
