It will be seen that no? a blemish attaches to him. and this is strengthened by the testimony ef Mayor Cooper, Marble and IVlton. It leaves the matter where all candid minds adjudge it—that Tilden wo# fairly elected and that Hayes was n :. and that electors were bought for Hayes. iu the Army Bill, as it passed the IM-use on Saturday, the effective strength of the armv is limited to twenty-five thousand msn. The proposition to transfer the Indians to the military *as mgatived, and the employment of U } ifM at the polls in elections prohibit ed. The main features of the Burnside -i rganiuation scheme have been adopt ed. General Butler's amendment al lowing the railroad companies to use their wires for military and general public business was added to the bill. From thirty to thirty five thouaand men ..re reported to be on a strike at Liverpool, and some of them have no great respect for the jieace of the city. M Fa and mob law were in the order of tbe day on Friday, and thousands of sr.;':; burly ruffians as the average Brit- Nh L irer. inspired with a conviction ti : tMy are oppressed and wronged, _nd freed by their momentary paasion from the littie moral restraint they are coram mly under, constitute an insura n tion of blind and wild force well cal culated to trouble the authorities wherever it may be show# itaelf. From the operation of such a burst of ruffian ly ferocity Liverpool will escape very we!' if it has no worse experiences than whs? are ao far recorded. < ne of the Pittsburg membera haa in troduced a bill, which, if it should pass would saddle about three fourths of the r ot damages upon the state treasury— or some three million dollars, leaving tr a million to be paid by Pittsbargh. in! r the present law Pittsburgh would have to pay all. Had the citizens of the Iron City done theft duty at the out break of the riota there would have been no damage. But thev stood by and looked on ; more, they even encouraged 'lie rioters until the devil of destruction could not be held in check, and state troopi had to be called to prevent the entire destruction of that city. .Vow why shonid Centre or any other county in tli-s ale, help pay damages for which they are ;n no wise accountable? It i not right, and such & bill should never become a law—let an example be made Ilia' will teach other communities that to encourage lawlessness and the des truction of private property in their midst, is done at their own expense. The cipher dispatch investigation has thus far shown nothing against Mr. Tilden, oa the other hand it is vindica ting him, and has put some republicans in a fix. Mr. I'elton in his testimony the other day, said, he could not remem ber the names of bis correspondents; the telegram sent by Weed were sent by his i Pelton's.) directions; witness shown the dispatch, said he could not remember anything about the dispatches ; there is no question that the Tribune dispatches got near to the point, but they are inac curate. "Give me more latitude and 1 will testify fully." Marble telegraphed in reply to the dispatch asking 1200,000 that it was too high ; Tilden was exceed ingly severe when he heard of my ac tion ; I left for Baltimore without his knowledge or consent; be had no idea of what was going on; had no conversa tion with him on the matter until after my return from Baltimore, when I showed the governor the whole corre spondence ;he was still more emphatic in denouncing the whole proceeding. To all questions relative to the use and ex planation of the ciphers witness' reply was that he could not remember. Mr. Reed cross-examined Mr. Pelton at considerable length, but nothing of importance was elicited. M itness ac cused (lliscock of insulting him. His cock asked witness if he wanted the country to believe that without consult ing any leading democrat or hie uncle that he made these contracts involving a large sum of money, whereas witness had not a dollar? Witnessed answered, you are offensive again. After recess witness said be had not made up his mind when he promised the money to whom he should go for it but probably to the active men of the democracy and possibly to the demo cratic committee. He denied emphati cally and repeatedly that he expected the money from Mr. Tilden. The com mittee then adjourned until to-morrow I but Mr. Fflton wan required no! to con-] ' i>lcr himself discharged. THE cruris cos TEST. We have not referred to this matter of late,in the Repoutik, and e frequent inquiries have been made with us as to how the contest is -oing, we will just say here, end it can he taken as reliable, that the contest is going on all right, and that enough of republican frauds have already been proven to scat t'urtin and the work is not yet one third * through with, Enough fraud has al * ready been proven in t'eutre county * alone to clearly entitle Gov. Ourtiu to f the seat in congress. In I'learlieU 1 roun * ty there will be a much higger haul of • of fraudulent votes for Yocuuiat.i wh.vh 1 will be thrown out, than in our own 1 countv. lu the remaining four counUes ' of the diatrict there will also he shown i* the same kind of work to defeat <•#* Curt in ; ami when the wh >e thing is through with and summed up, it w 1 prove that Curt in has a large ma oritj of the legal votes cast.

Curlin, wiii he found c.s : taiued hy the evidence that is now be ing taken, and our prediction that the "war governor ' will get the seat, wit t come true.

The following little hiatory of the f Bank of Kngland will be of interest, i That institution will be lssyeraold the > 27th of the coming July, having receiv* > ed its charter of incorporation at that • date, and having been projected by f William Patterson, a Scotchman. Con • stituted as a joint stock company, with ( a capital of £1,200,000, the w hole sum • was lent at interest to the government - of Wiiliam and Mary, then much em * barrnssed. At the outset it was a #rv.r,t 1 of the state, and has ever since continu ed such more or less. The charter, granted at first for 11 vears, has been ' from tirae to time renewed, the last re ' newal, snbject to modification or revo ' cation, having been in 1844. For a while the business was done in one ' room ; now the bank occupies, as every ' body knows, a large building in Thread ' needle street, and employs some 6 > men. Nothing less than a £3 note is • ever issued, and no note is iaeued a sec 1 ond time. The average amount of notes ' in circulation is £23,000,000. Careful estimates indicate an increase i of popnlation from lS7oto ISfiO at s,sot>,- i 000, which world make a total popuia • tion of 47,033,271 in 18>0. I'ncle Sam :s ' getting to be a pretty numerous boy. Blaine's Teller committee on southern intimidation, has wound up it- business anally. Tbe result is. nix kum raus. The letters from the President, or those in his confidence, to Collector Arthur, which were read by Senator ' Conkling in the course of his speech on the New Y'ork Custom House appoint- I menls. caused a good deal of merriment , in the Senate, but the merriment was ill-timed. Is it a matter for laughter ' that an administration should so dis i grace aid stultify itself? There was a 1 letter begging ua appointment for a sou I of the Judge whose voice as a member of the Electoral Commission placed 1 Hayes in tbe White House in defiance i of law and equity. There was .mother i seeking a place for a man whose only named qualification was the authorship of a fulsome campaign biography of Rutherford B. Hayes. And there were more of the same kind. They did not i make Mr. Conkling's cause belter, but . tbey made tbe administration's worse, and ought to bring tbe tinge of shame to the cheek of every man connected with it. In the teeth of si eh things how able and honest public journals like the New York Evening Post and the Spring field Republican can claim that Mr. Hayes is engaged in a battle for the re form of tbe civil service is far beyond comprehension. If the administration has not sunk to the depths of infamy to which Mr. Conkliag said it would be consigned, when the truth about this busineas were known, it is not because it does not deserve that fate. Perhaps, however, Mr. Conkling has gone to pre pare the way for it. The increase of the hoard of gold in the treasury since the first of January exceeds two hundred thousand dollars. Some concern is manifested as to what will be done with all the gold now ac cumulated in the vaults of the treasury, especially on the part of the anti-re sumptionists who predicted so confi dently a little while ago that the specie would soon be drained. But there need be ao alarm on that score. What is not required to meet the interest on the public debt will be paid out for current expenditures and it will return to the treasury in sufficient quantities to meet all the requirements of resump tion.

The New Pension Bill. —I'nder form er laws a pensioner was given five vears from the date of his discharge to fife his application, and if tliia rule was not complied with, the pension commenced only from the time last evidence was furnished. Ah an example, if a soldier was discharged in lsfs and filed his ap# plication in I*7l, his pension only eom menred with the latter year. Pnder the new law, however, he draws his pension from the date upon which he received his discharge.

Pelera testified that ha saw several of the accused strike the old man over the head wilh a blunt instru ment and then throw the body into tho creek to convey the impression that ha had fallen in and drowned.

London, February 3.—The origin of] the plague in Russia is thus given : A Cossack, returning from the war to Wet tinskn, brought his lady love a shawl, which she wore two days, and sickened with all the symptom; ofthe plague, and died. Tho following four days other! members of her family died. The disease! spread rapidly, the lecal authorities no*' paying any attention to it till half Ih sir habitants died, and the remainder wets unable to bury the victims. Then, when the epidemic hid assumed serious dimensions, eeergetie means were taken for preventing its spreading, and strict quarantines were establirhed ; first* ly, in towns end villages, shutting off the streets where the plague reigns from the rest of the place, end secondly, by sur rounding the villages with troops so that 1 nobodv is allowed to pass in or out. The ' panic in Russia is almost incredible. Eve- ' ry class and station in life have petition- ! ed for the entire cessation ef all inter reurse, even of postal communication he- ! tween the rest of Russia and the Volga Letters sent from Astrakhan anJ Zaritzin 1 sre aot rectived by the persons to whom ' they are addressed. Some people even refuse to lake paper money, tearing the ' germ of infection might he communicated r ihrough it. Il is almost impossible to describe the 1 terror which has taken possession of the " venple. The Russian Sanitary Commie- 1 lion has proposed to shut off tho Volga ' iea from ell intercourse with Western [tussia, and permit communication only inder quarantine. o Cincinnati, Ohio, Feb. 8, 1879.

A SWELL MOHAMMEDAN WED DING. Tho Marriago ol tlie Fifth Boit of the Khedive of Egypt. [Alexandria Correspondence London Time* ] Jlahmeud Hamdi Bey, the fifth eon of the Khedive, was merried lest week to a daughter of Edhami Pasha, a son of Ab bas Pasha, son of Mahomet All. and Vice roy of Egypt from 1848 to lb'>4. Prince Tewflk, the heir apparent to the throne, is married to a sister of the bride, and Prince Ibrahim, new al Woowich, is be trothed to another sister. Certainly the viceregal family nre obedient to tho be hest* of their religion, which declare mar riage a positive duly. "Art thou mar ried!?" asked the prophet of ono of bis fol lowers. "No," replied the man. "And art tbou sound and healthy?" smd the other. "Then," declared the prophet, "tbeu art on# of the brothers ol the devil." But the devil has not many brothers in a Mohammedan country, as every uian of any position has his barum. Four wives aro the limit, and the facility of divorce Is so great that rich men de not at all shrink from the dangers of this quadruple alliance. Alee, tbe companion of the prophet, is said to have married aad divorced two hundred wire#; and a cer tain old dyer of Bagdad has come Juwn in history as a man who had been married nine hundred times. Prince Memoud, who bed been betroth ed for some time, was married od a Thurs day—tho lucky day of tho wuok.
