The troops furnished by the Southern

nished two regiments of cavalry ; Alabama I
one white regiment : Mississippi one batal-
ion, and North Carolina two regiment of
cavalry.
If Lee had had the 200,000 men furnished
to the Union army by the South, the issue
of the war would have been considerably
delayed ; and If the Confederate army bad
broken into guerrilla bands, instead of ac
cepting offers of amnesty peace would not
jet have been concluded.
Not Cleared Up Yet.

Issue or supposed overissue of certifi
catcs of the Pennsylvania State Loan
of 1853 had beeu cleared up. It may be
hoped this is true,bnt the dispatch,altbough
it sets out to do so, does not clear up any
thing beyond the statement that a missing
book has been found. It does not explain
how it is that the State Treasury accounts
have been ho kept that tqere was no way to
tell whether the State had or had not got
value, for $21,000 in certificates known to be
out. It does not explain how it happened
that in the issue of certificates for the $5,000
loan of 1853 they were not numbered' in
consecutive order,but skipped about towards
the close of the series ; and it does not ex'
plain bow it has camo about that the cou
pons of certain certificates in excess of those
supposed to be out, although issued in 1853,
were not presented for payment until 1878
twenty-five years afterward. All this may
have beeu cleared up or may be capable of
explanation, but the Bedford despatch does
not do it. A supplementary despatch will
be in order, Ledger,

SUITS FOR DAMAGES AGAIN3T ALLEQHE.NV
COUNTY.
A large number of suits- have been brought
against Allegheny county for losses incurred
by individuals during tho July riots of 1877,
Theso suits havo been delayed until this time
in order to allow the supreme court to pass
upon tho question of tho liability of tho state
or the county. It having been settled by
that tribuual that the county is liable, the
lawyers havo been rushin? in suits by the
hundred in e,rder to bo within the reach of
tho uct of assembly, which says that suits
must bo brought within two years alter tho
loss was incurred. Tlio most prominent law
yers thcro say that this two year limitation is
not constitutional. Tho amount of the suits
brought thus far is about $250,000. The to
tal lass for which the county is liable is now
placed at $2,700,000, which will seriously
embarrass the county to pay.
National bankers will not take kindly to
the Democratic platform, because it demands
"paper currency convertible into coin." Na

for them a full legal tender or greenback
note. It will be getting rid of a currency
that is costing the business men and tax-pay

American cheese is being imported into
Ayrshire in' such quantities that much of the
home produce of last year is still unsold and
likely to remain unsold. In many cases

to plead, lu the supreme court in lrenton,

in the second degree. This is in consequence
of an objection raised by tho attorney gener

which secured the conviction of Hunter,
who was hauged, cannot be tried for mur

Owenton, Kr., July 23. The jury In the
case fif liuford, on trial for the murder of
Judge Hlllntt, after bclt.g out eighteen hours
brought iu a verdict of gidlty of murder In
the first degree, and fixed the punishment
at Imprisonment for life in tho peniten
tiary. The crime for which Col, lluloril is coll
ided was committed on the 211th ol March
last. For some tlino litigation had been
pending between a man named Guthrie and
the. ulster of Col. lluford. (Juthrlc held a
mortgage on her property, and tho ellbrt to
ireeloo it had been resisted with great de
termination. Tho decision of the courts
were in favor of Outhrie, but a rehearing
was allowed, pending which Miss lluford
died, The judgment was nllir ned on Satur-
ly preceding the assassination, and though
the death ol his sister had taken place
previously, Col. lluford maintained that It
was Induced by worry over the trouble.
When, therefore, tho final decision was
rendered by tho court of appeals, lluford
determined to avengo the death of his sis
ter by killing tho judges. Ho first turned
is attention to Judge Pryor, but failed to
find him. On the day of the tragedy he
went to the house of Judge Colfeo, Intend
ing to Bhoot him, but being at breaktast nt
the time, tho men. failed to meet. He then
started down town and meeting Judge Kill
ot, after a brief conversation he shot him,
causing almost instant death, lluford made
noiir.rtto escape, but justified his action
on the ground of avenging the death of his
ler. His trial was changed to Owenton
by mutual agreement, and terminated to-day
as above indicated.
One of the most fiendish plots on record
was attempted on a Hudson river steamboat
on Friday night, though happily it failed of
its purpose. As tho steamer Drew, of tho
People's Line, was on her way from New
York to Albany, an explosion occurred about
midnight, which shook tho vcsel and threw
the six or seven hundred passengers, who
ad nearly all retired, into wild confusion.
The explosion occurred iu a stateroom, and
started a fire, which, however, was put out
before it had dono much damage, by a cool
headed passenger. Investigation disclosed
the top of a powder canister among tho de
bris A hole had been msdo through the
top of I lie set cw in tho can, through which it
is filled and through which the powder is
poured out- This suggested the idea that a
slow match had been inserted in this hole,
nicely calculated to burn until midnight,
when the passengers would be in bed and
asleep. Tlio explosion, it was calculated,
would produce a panic and an alarm of fire,
passengers would rush from their loouis,
leaving the doors open, and the thieves for
it is believed tlieio was a regularly organized
gang on tlio boat would then slip into tho
rooms and steal the valuables and in the con
fusion escapo undetected A further search
brought to light a wooden box, in which thcro
was found a coil of fuse of about fifty feet,
which had uever beeu cut. There was also
in the liirgo box a paper-collar box, and in
this was a short piece of fuse, from which it
was plaiu a piece had been recently cut, aud
in the bottom of this box wa- a hole just
large enough to pass a fuse through. A re
ference to tho passenger list showed that the
stateroom had been engaged by telegraph in
New York, by a person si. ning tho namo of
Campbell to the dispatch, and a waiter said
that about four o'clock iu the a(U'rnoou,while
the boat lay at its pier in New York, a man
came on board with a wooden b,ox about two
feet square, which be n quested the waiter to
put in this stateroom. The waiter soon spot
ted tho man in tho crowd, and ho was arrest
ed at Albany, where he gavo his namo as
Henry Evans, and was committed for exami
nation oil Tuesday. Two' other men beside
tho waiter sjore positively that they saw the
prisoner and two or three- other men como on
board witli a box similar to the ono found in
the wrecked stateroom, aud there seems to
bo a very strong case against him.
THE CANADA THISTLE-
An esteemed correspondent asks us to
publish the law relative .to the extirpation
of the Canada Thistle. F r the general in
formation of our readers we republish the
Act of 1802 on that sulject.
"It shall be the duty of every person or

tendent Wickershatn, whose cheek certainly
c j cceds his brains, had the impudence ogain
this year to ask the Easton Board of Control
to subscribe for twenty ono copies of 1:

declined to squander money on that useless
periodical. If Statu Superintendent Wick
ersham's salary docs not pay him, he should
drop'the position. Ho has no right to re
quest and expect school boards to voto mon

which is nuiple for tho work dono.

YELLOW FEVER IN THE SOUTH.
This terrible scourge has ogain niado its
nppcarAnco in somo of tho southern cities
and tho prospects thcro aro very gloomy. Tho
following despatches show the condition of
things.
Memphis, July 21. Fifteen new cases of
yellow fovct wero rcKrtcd to tho Hoard of
Health this tuoruiug. Among the most
promiuent wero W. U. Coppingcr aud wife,
.). U. Ilairis, n well known dentist, Uhurles
Philtnont and wife, (leorgo Nail and the two
Miscs ltoja. Two deaths havo occurred
Dr. J U. Harris aud W, O. Coppingcr. The
oxodus of citizens la in full nrogrosl and bus
iness is almost entirely suspended. Tho gen
eral outlook is anything but cheering.
Twenty ono additional cases wero reported
to tho Board of Health this afternoon, which
makes a total of thirty-six icportcd for the
day. This large increase is an accumulation
of several days, ns most of tho persons have
becu ill from thrco to five days. Among
those reported this afternoon aro Fred Bart
liff, S. S. Moon, Mis. K. Lockard and two
children, Eva Woodrock and tbo Wchruui
family. Ono death occurred this afternoon
F, Lorcnzi, at the City Hospital. The ma
Jority of tlio sick aro piogrcssing favorably.
Tom Kcruan remains in a critical condition.
Tho steamer Uoahama, which departed to
night, had 300 persons aboard who wero sent
out of Memphis by tho city authorities. A
large number also left by tlio Loulsvillu and
Nashvillo Railroad. The city begins to pre
sent a deserted appearance Many of tho
most prominent retail merchants have follow
ed tho exnmplo of wholesalers and closed
their places of business. Tho Ancient Or
der of United Workingmcn aud Knights of
Honor are also sending members and fami
lies out of tho city, thinking it cheaper to
pay fares than doctors' bills nnd nurses here.
Captain Lee, of the steamer Coahauia, en
gaged tho services of Doctors Willett and
Brown, who left on tho steamer and will re
main abroad until her safe arrival at St. Lou
is. Nearly every town along tho linos of the
Louisville aud Nashville and Memphis and
Charleston Railroads have quarantined against
Memphis. Owing to this stale of affairs the
banks hero request their correspondents not
to send bills for collection to them on any
point outside the city.
Nashville, July 21. Tho State Board of
Health now in session has declared qunran
tine against Memphis for the whole State,
and it is now being enforced. Additional
rules will bo put in operation to morrow.
New Orleans, July 21, Five suspicious
cases of fever having occurred in tho Creel
family, near Mississippi City, the health au
thorities to day sent medical cxputs by spec
ial train to investigate the matter. Dr. Chop
pin, in a telegram to Dr. Hadcn, president of
the Galveston Board of Health, makes the
following statement of the result :
Doctors W. A. Smythe and C. B. White,
of this city, have just returned from visiting
the reported suspicious cases of fever in
Mississippi City, on tho lako shore, and de
clare the five cases under observation to be
malarial fever. New Orleans is perfectly
free from yellow fever. Only eighty-three
deaths occurred last week from all diseases.
From Dr. Suiytho it is learned there were
three local physicians with Dr. White and
himself at tho residence of the Creel family
to day. He pays : Wo came ;to the conclu
sion that the disease is not yellow fever, but
of a malarial character, caused by malarial
poison. Ono member of the lamily died last
Wednesday. Dr. Smythe says all the others
will recover.
New York, July 11. A dispatch from
Memphis from Dr. R. W. Mitchell, member
of the National Board of Health, to Mr. F.
S. Davis, of Memphis, now in this city, says :
Since 9 o'clock yesterday morning nineteen
cases of yellow fever have been reported and
seven deaths occurred. Twenty-nino cases
had been previously reported and six deaths
had occurred. Tlio fever is spreading.
St. Loui-", July 21. The health authori
ties decided last night to put in force a par
tial quarantiuo against Memphis. A corps
of physicians and sanitary officers was sent
down to quarantine, fifteen miles below tho
ty, to stop Memphis boats and inspect pas
sengers, and to make use ot Oislntcctants.
Washington, July 21. At tho request of
Representative Casey Young, of the Mem
phis, Tcnn., district, tho becrctary ot War
will this evening forward to Memphis 1,500
tents and rations for ten thousand people, for
twenty days, to bo used in aid of the suffer
ers from yellow fever.
Owing to tbe receipt of applications at tbo
'ost Office Department for tho fumigation of
mail matter, the acting Postmaster General
has telegraphed all parties interested that
the department cannot go into the cxpcnso.of
fumigation, but that Post Ofiico officials may
co-opcrato with all local quarantine authori
ties in any reasonable request looking to the
proper disinfection of the mails.
Telegrams received by the National Board
of Health from Memphis, Tcnn., up to noon
to-day, announce nineteen now cases of yel
low fever and seven deaths.
Representative Casey Young, of Tennessee
and other prominent gentlemen, representing
the Southern States, are contemplating tho
organization of a yellow fever relief com
mittco in this city. Their idea is in the ovent
of another epidemic to receivo in Washing
ton such donations as may bo offered and to
distribute the same to the best advantage
throughout tho infected districts. A formal
meeting to consider tbo proposition will bo
held to morrow evening.
Important to Pensioners.
Gen. H. 0. Sickel, the l'cnsion Ageut at
I'liila'lelphia, publishes the following notice
n the newspapers of that city, by which it
will bo seen that under a recent act of Con
cress tho biennial examination ol invalid
pensioners has been discontinued.
U. S. Pension Apency, 720 Sansom St., )
l'liiladelpuia, July l, iny. )
I inclose you a copy of uotico of tho re
peal of Sections 4,771, 4,772 and 4, 773 of tho
Revised Statutes as follows-:
"Department of tho Interior, I'eusion Of
fice, Washington, I). 0., July 1, 1879. By
vittue of an uct of Congress approved Juno
21, 1879, tho biennial examination of iuvalid
pensioners Is abolished from that date. 1 he
following is the provision to-wit :
"That Sections forty-seven hundred and
seventy-two aud forty seven liuudred aud
seventy-three, of the Revised Statutes ot the
United States, providing for biennial exami
nation of pensioners, are hereby repealed.'
(Signid) 'J. A. Bf.nti.ky,
'Commissioner.'"
The effect of the above is to dispense with
tlio medical examinations of pensioners that
wero hcretoforo required at tho September
payment of each odd year, as 1877, 187'J,
1881, etc.
Heretofore, the biennial examination has
been the cause-ol much delay in tho payment
of pensioners at such times, moro especially
those in tho city, as they were required to
appear beforo tho Board of Surgeons here.
This being a matter of importance to many
I think it should bo given publicity through
the local columns of your paper.
Very resoetfully,

United States Benson Agent.
MEM-
Washington, D. O., July 22. The fact
being now assured that ex-Senator Ramsey
Is to bo secretary of war, the gossip concern
ing tho numerous applicants fur the offico Is
leaking out. There Is a story afloat that
just prior to the adjournment of tho last ses
sion of Congress. Don Cameron, of Penn
sylvania, walled upon tho president At his
room, adjoining the Senalo chamber, und
told him that in view of the fact that the
great state of Pennsylvania had no repre
sentative in the cabinet, that it would not
be asking too much to have a citizen of that
state appointed secretary of war. It Is al
leged that Mr. Hayes replied that tho Penn
sylvania politicians were quarreling among
thrmelves, but that if they could unite up
on some suitable man and present his name
that he (Hayes) would give tho application
most favorable consideration. It Is further
alleged that Senator Camerou then said,
"But, Mr. President, I understand you have
already tendered tho appointment of tho of
fico to a gentleman from a northwestern
stato. Mr. Hayes' reply Is quoted to have
been,, "Yes, I have asked n gentleman from
that section if ho will accept the office if it
Is tendered him, but I havo not yet tendered
the ollico to anybody." Upon receiving
this reply the Pennsylvania politicians, af
ter several consultations agreed to present to
Mr. Hayes the namo of M. S. Quay, who
was at one time secretary of stale for the
Pennsylvania commonwealth, The pain
nnd surprise of the Keystone political man
agers can be better imagined than described
upon their receipt of the Information that
the office had been accepted by ex-Senator
Ramsey.

Tn tlio face of evcrytliliiy, Wanamaker Sc Brown increased
their great Clothing business last year at Oak Hall nearly a quarter
of a million dollars, nnd for 1879 the new plans will make the
house more popular and increase the business much more.
Eighteen years in the people's service at the old corner of Sixth
and Market has taught us how to do the business well.
. Ma
Whatever may be said, no house in the United States sells any-'
thin;: like so much Clothing at Retail as Oak Hall, and no house
in Philadelphia sells more than a quarter as many goods as
Mr.. Wanamaker sells in Clothing alone. Doing this large
business shows the people's regard for our goods, and enables us
to buy cheaply and sell at small profits. ' w
New patterns have been made this year and new styles intro-1
duccd through Mr. Robert C. Ogden (formerly partner of the
famous firm of Devlin & Co., New York), who is now associated
with Oak Hall, anil will give his whole energies and valuable
experience to improving the manufacture of our Hoys' and Men's
Clothing. We do not buy Clothing like the dealers, but make
it expressly for our own sales. The Spring stock is splendid,
and no other make of goods, so far, have as much merit, or are
told as cheaply.
Ma
Impressions have been erroneously given to tho effect that
Mr. John Wanamaker, who founded Oak Hall, is not interested in
the old store, and that it docs not have his attention ; on the
contrary, his ownership of it remains unchanged, and he has lost
none of his love for it. Kvery day finds him supervising all its
departments. Mr. William II. Wanamaker spends his entire time
on the Oak Hall business.
