J. P. Cooper has, it is stated, brought
over two millions of dollars in bonds to
sell coupons from, the bond to be produce
ed as evidence. This is the ''last ditch"
of the bondholders, and the contest in that
ditch will only be waged until the liquor
and other licenses are paid on May 1st,
next. If those who take out licenses
should not take the side of the bondhol-
der, and buy his coupons to the damage of
their State, the debt question is as good
as ended in Virginia and the outstanding
bonds will be funded in Riddleberger SIS.

Oh no. Mr.. Tams, did not bring down
the price of the bonds; l helped, while a
member of the old council, to make them
worth S106 90, but you and your friends,
by your extravaganza expenditures of the
peoples money, brought them down until
they went begging at par or $500, before |
had written a line or said one word about
them. 1t does seem to me that man
must be surcharged with gall, who would
lay the decline in Staunton bonds at my
door. If l had had my way. they would
be worth $106 to-day.

SELECTIONS FROM THE MAIL.

wRETCHED NEGLECT OF THE MAIL SERVICE
To the EdftOr Of The Tribune.
Sir: The annual report Of the superintendent Of
Foreign Malls, Southern Bourbon Of the most pro-
nounced type who has opposed everything that would
benefit American shipping in his report says THE
worst mail service have is on tho American lines
TO South America
The United States Government IS paying some
foreign lines to Europe 81 80 a mile, and offers
American steamship lines to South America about
nine cents a mile. They let European steamers come
into ports free Of tonnage dues. and collect thirty
cents a ton per year from American steamers carry
ing the mail to South America II the South American
mail service is poor 1t is because of the niggardly
Of the Administration in paying for the SER
vice. 1t is because Nj Villas and his successor have
wanted American steamships to convey the mails for
a tenth part OF the sum paid to foreign steam lines.
II is because they wanted American steamers TO con-
vey the mails on nearly the same basis as mani
mate freight" 1t IS because that in the Post Olce
Department there hes been total lack OF sound
business principles, judgment or even wish 20

that General Newton had resigned. and he refused 10

That Mr.. Hewitt did not expect to receive IL SO soon

and find a successor TO General Newton. When have

during the fneryiew. He Informed Colonel Seward
that, with the exception of the 7th Regiment Armory
at Park-sye and sixty -seventh-st, which had been
erected under special act Of the Legislature with
funds raised by members Of the regiment, no armory
had ever been built for the use OF any particular
regiment, although under opinion from Corporation

the ordering of the Colonel before a board for

diphthera prev ailing in many parts of Illinois,
Indiana Iowa and Nebraska. which is peculiarly fatal
and malignant AS rule death does not result from
the sntYocaton but from failure Of the heart. The

which Is found in graysh patch. The peculiar throat

symptoms are often absent until tho sudden final col
lapse The epidemic is probably due to the strain put
upon the drainage by tho abundant rainfall, and the
resultant Interference with the outflow.
The disease IS particularly bad In Gross Park. a
suburb of Chicago This town is a houffshing and
rapidly growing settlement; and although its be-

different parts of Gross Park. The disease was Of a
malignant type, and attacked the Juvenile portion Of
the community About month ago the raw ages OF
the disease ceased for time. 1t broke out afresh
and with redoubled violence simultaneously with the
building Of the sewers just mentioned and since then
