It is rumored that the speculators
of New York contemptate making a
"corner" in gold at the date of re
sumption, with the hope of creating a
panic that will In some way inure
to their benefit It is asserted that the
Treasury officials are without appre

and that it is believed the government
is strong enough to control the gold
market under any conditions that It is
possible for the speculators to create.
One of the southern heroines
brought to light by the yellow fever
plaugue is "Grandma" Wilson, an
old negress of New Orleans. Ever
since the yellow fever epidemic of 1837
she has been on hand to nurse the sick
whenever the plague has broken out
in that city and also at Norfolk, Savan
nah, Shreveport and elsewhere. As
soon as Ler philanthropic work is
ended she refuses gifts and returns to
her occupation of selling peanuts In
the streets of New Orleans.
The report of the Grand Jury to
the Criminal Court last Friday after
noon contained the fallowing : " We
recommended to the General Assembly
of the State that the crime of rape be
more severely dealt with. The records
of late years show that it is largely on
the increase, and unless summarily
and severely dealt with will continue
to increase. We recommend that the
raping of a child under twelve veurs
of age be made a capital offense, and
be punished with death ; that the at
tempted rape of a child under twelve
years be punished by imprisonment in
the penitentiary for life."
Judge Lowell has decided that
some $4O0,OC0, notes of ihe Union
Mills, of Fall River, signed only by
the treasurer, when the by-laws of the
corporation required that they be coun
tersigned by the president, are valid
claims against the concern, on the
ground that the rule had not been ob
served for a number of years before
the company became bankrupt. The
judge also held that the notes had been
bought by innocent holders before ma
turity, and that these parties could not
be held responsible for the application
of the corporation's money or be af
fected by any fraudulent use of the
proceeds of the notes.
In the Senate, Dec. 12, Mr. Bnrn
side. from the joint select committee
to prepare a plan for the reorganization
of the army, submitted a report, ac
companied by a bill and numerous
documents bearing on the subject. The
bill, entitled "A bill to reduce and re
organize the army of the United
States, and to make rules for its gov
ernment and regulation," was placed
on the calender, and it was ordered
that all the papers be printed. It pro
vides that General officers shall be re
duced to six, two Major Generals and
four Brigadier Generals, 4ora perman
ent organization, jntead of eleven, as
at present, tmfeduction to take place
by MSiJaities, and the present organi
zation shall consist of not more than
25,000 enlisted men, exclusive of signal
soldiers. The bill was made the
special order for January 8th.
The Board of Pardons is receiving
a fire all along the line The Pitts
burgh Dispatch wants the constitution
amended and the board abolished.
The Harrisburg Patriot says that
"division of responsibility has in
creased instead of diminishing the
pardon abuse. The Board of Purdons
has become a criminal court of appeuls
in which the trial in the court below is
reviewed, with the important differ
ence that the Commonwealth In a good
many cases is wholly unrepresented."
It isn't surprised that there is a general
demand for the abolition of the Board.
; . The Pittsburgh Telegraph thinks "it
. v is too easy for each individual secretly
to favor a pardon, and then in public
to shift the responsibility upon his
fellow members." The Lancaster New
' v Era looks for an era of outrage aud
crime as a result of the recent pardon
of twenty-nine criminals by the board,
and it is "almost tempted to ask of
what use courts and juries are so long
a the Board of Pardons is in exist-

Plans for National Militia.
AN IMPORTANT CONVENTION TO HE
HELD TO IMPROVE TUB MILITARY
SYSTEM.
A general convention of the leading
military officers of the different states
is to be held In New York, in January,
to take whatever official action nmybe
necessary to make the militia force of
each state an efficient military organi
zation, and to present to congress the
plans proposed in support of a hill to
appropriate $1,000,000 annually for the
purchase of arms, ammunition- and
other ordinance and quartermasters'
stores and for the general benefit of
and to be proportionately divided
among the regularly organized and
uniformed militia of the different
states, in accordance with such rules us
may be prescribed by a mixed board of
army and militia olhcers appointed by
the President. A state military con
vention will be held In this city or
Philadelphia to select representatives
to the general convention, and to take
counsel as to what steps Xxyn be taken
for the improvement of the Nutional
Guard of this State. The New York
Tribune says: "A new code, which
shall be complete and sufficient in
itself, and intelligible to the ofliccrs
and men, to be presented to the leiris-
miuiu in unit muie lor us approval,
will be acted upon. Acknowledging
that Pennsylvania is second only to
New York in the numbers of its 'Na
tional Guard, the olticers believe it fo
be far behind all other states which
make any pretentions to a uniformed
militia in the provisions of its code.
"A similar movement has been made
by the ofliccrs of the National Guard
of New Jersey and Rhode Island.
Letters have been received by General
Wingute from the Adjutant Generals
of Rhode Island, Illinois, Iowa, Ver
mont, Alubama, Pennsylvania, New
Jersey, from the Governor of Idaho,
and several leading military officers of
those States, us well as this, promising
their earnest co-operation with the
movement that has for its end a ' nu
tional militia," some of them saying
they would go much further than the
plan suggests. Governor Brayman.of
idano, in approving ot the plan, says
that Idaho, though organized in lSiiJJ,
lios no militia laws each legislature
refusing to enact them. The Nez
Perce war and the recent Bannock
war found him without authority ; he
was simply by courtesy of congress,
"commander-in-chief oi' the militia,"
without a recognized militia. In Ihe
emergency he took upon himself the
authority to organize twenty-six itm
punies, and distribute l,70u arms and
00,000 cartridges. In his message now
preparing he suggests "a mild, easy
working militia,'' and had already
suggested to congress a uniform or
ganization, under national authority.
The Adjutant General of Illinois writes
that the State has a force of 7.600 men,
without camp und garrison equipage,
uud about half armed.
C'urtin to Contest.
Ever since the 5th of November it
has been tacitly understood among a
certain dun of the "unwashed und
un terrified," that a contest would be
made by ex-Governor Ctirtin for a seat
in I'ongress. llie clandestine prepa
rations have been going on for a fort
night or more. But there hud never
been more than a suspicion, until last
evening, when the notice served on
Mr. Yocum confirmed and verified all
conjectures. The notice having been
served, there followed to-day a specifi
cation of the several frauds alleged to
have been committed. And where
were these frauds committed? Why,
in every comity in the district, accord
ing to the notice, which, like an in
dictment with many counts, is bound
to convict on some of them. From
the borough ward to the rural precinct
testimony will be furnished wholesale
and retail, and what koo1 may come
out of Nazareth will be seen later.
Exclusive of the Meek wing of the
Democracy, the matter is urged, and
not a few of the Republicans add their
quiet assent. It may be remarked,
however, that it is not of bis own
accord that Curtin makes the contest,
for Wallace ami other prominent Dem
ocrats encourage it, and t .e senator
declares that Curtin " must go to con
gress from this district." Since the
election an alliance has been formed
between the Republicans and Green
backers, which makes Mr. Yocum's
support far from weak. Evidence will
be unearthed on this side that will
make the contest a most formidable
one. Election boards going home to
dinner, not opening and closing ac
cording to the time regulated by law.
together with other latent frauds, will
be submitted as offsets. In a conver
sation with Mr. Yocum . Tuesday
morning of last week, it was learned
that a bitter light will be made. ' We
whipped him in the election and we
will whip him in the contest," he says.
He is not at all afraid of their arrange
ments, and says that be can in no way
be defea ed, for the Greenbackers hold
the balance of power In the lower
house, and In that event he will be
seated. Gazettc-Eullctin.
X Silver PI aut.
COIN OF GENERAL JACKSON S ADMIN
1STRATION.
A few days ago the express brought
to this city a large quantity of silver
coin, supposed to be about $2u,000. It
was consigned to the Fourth National
bank, corner of Third and Walnut
streets. There would have been
nothing so strange about this incident
if it had not been known that the coin
was of an extraordinary kind, and was
enveloped in a mysterious history. It
was of the half dollar denomination,
and every piece bore the date of the
American mint, showing that it was
coined prior to 1834. The strangest
feature of all remains, however to be
recited. Not one of the coin has ever
been in circulation, and are as bright
and rough as when they dropped from
the mint nearly half a century ago.
Where husthis money been all these
many vears? It is well known that
420.000 received in Cincinnati is
only part of the whole am unt of $75 -000
of this coin which has been ship
ped from Pittsburgh to various parts
ot the country, une meory is inui u
is a thief's "plant" just discovered,
und dug up bv some lucky fellow
Another theory puts the matter in u
sneculutorv light. It is known that
shortly alter the date of this money's
coinage, under uenerai Jackson's ad
ministration, silver was debused
Might it not be, then, some one invest
ed largely in the debased coin and
hoarded it away on a speculation ?
Whatever the history of the strange
money be. it Is a curious one. It be
comes almost of national importance
to know that $75,000 or this ancient
silver is being poured into the current
of trade. Vmeinttaiif.nqvirer.

Analyzing the Yellow Fever.
A paper to be read before the Public
Health Association at Richmond by
Dr. Cboppin ofNew Orleans will fix
the direct losses by disease in that city
at $10,672,600.
The theories of theee leading doctors
Remiss, Choppin, and Sherrlck
will hold that the fever is not produced
by local causes. The theory of the dis
ease Is summarized as follows:
"The germ theory lights us further
than nny other in searching the tctl
ology of yellow fever by accounting for
its appearance In unaccustomed locali
ties, and at unexpected times, through
Introduction of its germs in fomites,
by the fact that investigation generaly
discloses the time and mode of their
introduction, while occasional failure
only shows Imperfection of research:
by Its conformity to the manner and
rate of progress of the pestilence, with
out regard to the sanitary condition,
air currents, humidity, barometric
pressure, or electrical shite of localities ;
by more satisfactorily explaining Its
occasionally capricious mode of prog
ress j by its absolute conformity to in
troduction of the disease through fom
ites, to its certain arrest by frost and
its probable arrest by such chemical
agents as chlorine ami sulphurous acid,
where it Is piacticable to apply them
thoroughly and completely to an in
fected spot. The supposition that the
germs are reproduced outside the hu
man body, rather than inside, explains
the following apparent anomalies At
tendants on thesick are scarcely, If at
all, more liableto the disease than any
person in the same locality; persons
having contracted thefever'by visiting
an infected locality and afterwurd
falling sick in a healthy one usually
do not spread the disease among those
around them: persons who have not
had the fever have handled, swallowed
and even Inoculated themselves with
its morbid products with impunity.
"Corollaries deducible from the fore
going propositions: Yellow fever orig
inated in lands never visited by frost,
and does not obtain permanent occu
pation where the temperature falls be
low thirty-two degrees Fahrenheit
annually. Yellow fever is exotic to
the United States, and once complete
ly extirpated by frosts or artificial
means will not recur unless Introduced
anew by intercourse with infected re
gions abroad. The problem is so to
restrict and regulate this intercourse as
ellectuully to prevent the Introduction
of Yellow fever germs from abroad.
Dead-Heading on the Press.
The idea that newspaper people.
says the Ledger, are dead heads, Is a
very popular error. There Is no inter
est on earth that is expected to, and
actually does, give so much to society
without pay as the press. Instead of
being deud-heads, newspapers are the
victims of dead-heads. Not a day
passes hut they are imposed upon by
the public. Every publisher in this
or any other town will bear us out in
what we say. As a matter of fact the
editor endures more genuine dead
heading than any other man in the
world. The pulpit, the bar, the druinu,
religious and charitable societies, finan
cial and industrial corporations, every
body who is anj thing or ever expects
to become, is a leech upon the liberality
of the press. A fellow gives to the
editor a pass to a twenty live cefit
show, and then expects ten dollars
worth of gratuitous advertising. . A
weak enterprise is sought to be estab
lished, and the press is called upon to
give it strength and encouragement.
A preacher wants free puftiing, and a
civil otneer asKs the press to maKe mm
popular. An actor becomes the editor's
mortal enemy if the man of Fubcrs
does not bestow upon him dollars of
free advertising. The dull author ex
pects the press to say that he is bright
and entertaining, the quack considers
it the newspaper's duty to tell the
world that he is honorable and skilled.
The editor is the one to whom fools
look to give them talents, thieves to
give them honor, knaves to give them
respectability, the guilty to give them
cloaks of innocence, frauds to hide
their roguery and swindlers to cover
up their cheating; they vain expect to
ie extolled by the press; as u thing to
e Imposed upon at will; a thing from
which every one is in duty bound to
gel all he can and return us little as
possible A small-souled man will
give the press a live dollar advertise
ment and then consider himself cheat
ed if the editor does not write him
went-five dollars worth of editorial
notices. It is about time this sort ot
thing was stojjped. and for people to
understand that the press is not a
lead-head, but the chief victim of
dead-heads. A newspaper gets noth-
ng that purports to come gratuitously
that it does not pay four-fold, and it
gives much to true charity that people
erroneously think they pay for.
No "Blanks."
Two thousand persons will readily
put a dollar each into a scheme offering
a prize of $1,000, though only one can
get it, and i,yyu must lose ins uonur.
A publisher puts $-.000 into collecting
und preparing useful Information, and
offers to every one of 2,000 persons
who contributes only one dollar or so,
a printed duplicate of the results, so
thatcrtcA one may have the entire l-en-
iftt of what has actually cost 2,000 or
more, is not tins oetter man any un
certain chance scheme, full of blank
tickets? This applies to all good jour
nals ana nil good oooks.

Coughs, Colds and Consumption.
"A cold Is but u slight thing; I
never use any medicine when I have
a cold." How often do we hear this
from thinking people, even, whom we
would give credit for more caution, if
not sense. A cold, no matter bow
slight, ought not to be neglected, for it
will lead to a cough, and constant
coughing to inflammation, which
quietly but rapidly steals its way to
the lungs, ending in a rapid consump
tion. E. K. Thompson's Improved
