Hon. Morton M 'Michael, senior
editor of the North American and ex
mayor of Philadelphia, died on Mon
day of heart disease after a brief ill
ness. Hon. Caleb Gushing died on Jan.

Ex-State Treasurer Robert W.
Mackey died on January 1st 1879, at
Philadelphia. He was born in Pitts
burgh on December 22, 1837, and was
therefore but a few weeks paat forty
one years of age. For several terms
he filled the office of State Treasurer
and was a prominent politician.
Two men were on Tuesday taken
to M'Minnville, Tenuesee, heavily
guarded and lodged in jail, charged
with a murder committed during the
war. They belonged to Tinker Dave's
command, and killed a man named
Baker, in Cumberland county. Bak
er's son was a child when bis father
was killed, and having now attained
manhoods estate, intends to see his
father's murderers punished-
Resumption day in New York
produced no excitement in business
circles. At the sub-treasury the de
mand for gold was unimportant, a
great many people preferring green
backs to the "glittering chinks" Up
to 2 o'clock, Jan. 2d, there was received
at the sub-treasury over $o00,00t in
gold, against a disbursement of only
$125,000. Greenbacks are now taken
at all the costume houses in payment
of duties.
A girl fifteen yeurs old, at Ten
nant's Harbor, Ale., recently fell in
love with a young man who preferred
her cousin. This made her so Jealous
that she bought some sugnrof lead, on
pretence ot using it for sore eyes, and
tried to administer it to her cousin as
candy. The peculiar odor, however,
attracted the rival's attention, and she
carried it home, where a doctor pro
nounced it poison. An attempt has
been made to hush up the affair, and
the would-be poisoner was not arrested.
A clerk in the Washington post
office lost a package of $10,000 in cash
which was returned intact after a few
hours. In New York the regular
messenger of the Importers' and Trav
lers' Bank being absent, anew man
was sent with the usual consignment :o
theclearing house. He was accompa
nied by the bank detective and carried
$160,000 clearing house certificates of
legal tenders deposited in the U. S
Treasury, $42,900 United States gold
certificates, $6,755.38 currency and
$67 in gold. This large amount has
also been returned with the exception
of about $7,000.00 People are either
getting very honest or money must be
getting very plenty.
At a late hour on the night of Jan.
2d a man named Anthony Dolmer
was walking up Gratial avenue, De
troit, Mich., on his way home, when
a cutter containing three men came
tearing along at a rapid rate. When
opposite Dolmer one of the occupants
drew a revolver and fired. The bull
intering Dolmer's left thigh and
taking an upward course is believed to
have penetrated the lungs. The
wounded man sank to the pavement
while the cutter dashed on, one of the
party crying out, "How's that for a
happy New Year!" A policeman
hearing the shot came to Dolmer's
assistance. A surgeon probed tor the
bullet unsuccessfully, internal he no
.rrhagejget In and Hitman will probably
die.
The legislature of Maine has elected
Dr. Alonao Garcelon, Democrat,
Governor of that State. The laws of
Maine require that the candidate
elected shall have a clear maj rity of
all the votes cast. At the election in
September last Conner,' Republican,
received 66,419 votes ; Garcelon, Dem
ocrat, 27,873 ; Smith, Greenbacker,
41,404. The Democrats and Green
backers united in the lower honse and
sent the names of Garcelon and Smith
to the Senate, as the law requires the
names of two candidates voted for to
be sent to that body, thus compelling
the Republican majority in the Senate
to elect either a Democrat or Green,
backer, and their choice fell on the
Democrat, be being considered hard
money man.
Washington Letter
Prom our regular correspondent.)
Washington, D. C, January 1, 1879.
The new year has opened full of
promise. Without reviewing the
melancholy things among the events
of 1878, or referring to the distressed
conditions belonging to its predeces
sors, we know that it brought us full
granaries, and passed us twelve
months further on in the grand ad
vance towards a healthy slate, and it
makes ltsexit leaving behind unmls
tukable signs of better things to come.
And resumption is now a legal fact,
though it can not be sa'ld to be an ao
compllshed fact. Probably many of
your readers are among those who
have regarded It Impracticable, yet
no a-that a trial has come, even though
it is only a shadow and not the sub
stance, they will hope none the less
that it may succeed. Failure would
be. a hundred fold more disastrous
than the past unsettled condition
could have been even if prolonged in
definitely. It is, however, sheer nonsense to
assume that this so called resumption
will produce an "immediate change
tor the better," or an "immediate
prosperity." The Improvement now
beginning to be felt in business, has
been slowly taking place for months
past, and returning confidence and
buoyancy is not a consequence of re
sumption, but the very thing that
renders it even remotely possible.
These hopeful signs are not the result
of any thing Secretary Sherman has
done, but in spite of it. He did not
create the usual foreign demnnd tor
our products, nor did he grow the
wheut, corn, cotton, hogs and beeves,
that enable us to supply it. As a
strong constitution will enable a pa
tient to throw off disease and slowly
convalesce toward perfect health de
spile bad medical treatment, so this
young, vigorous country, aided by
boundless resources, has been recover
ing from depression, despite all the
evils of bad legislation and the cruel,
grinding policy of Sherman. There is
reason to believe that the same causes
that have been helping our financial
condition and great industries, will
continue to help them. In short,
while the indications for the future do
not promise a speedy return to the
feverish speculative period of prosper
ity more apparent than real ; they do
point to a season of wholesome, well
grounded business activity, drawing
capital out. from its hiding places and
giving employment to those who are
willing to work. Oneof the most dis
couraging features of the last few
months has been the wide-spread
feeling, amongst the possessors of
means that nothing was safe but
government bonds. But with gold
and silver and greenbacks on an equul
Ity, and enough of ull to transact the
business of the country, moneyed men
will brace upund tint) more active use
lor their accumulations.
New Years' day is a state occasion
in Washington, always, and it never
was a livelier one than on Wednesday.
While the gray light and fast failing
snow were painting the atmosphere
with a cold tint, the streets were
thronged with carriages and weil
dressed pedestrians making for the
receptions and their rounds of calis.
The White House was the theatre of a
most brilliant M'ene. Beibre 10 o'clock
in the morning the carriage-ways
were thronged with vehicles, and at
11 o'clock when the doors were thrown
open tlie Chinese Minister followed
by his suit entered, attired in the
court costume of their country. After
them came in quick succession the
French Legation, the Russian Min
ister and suite, and the Turkish em
bassy, all decked out in the lull cere
monials of their respective countries.
They were a pleasing sight, these
foreigners, and attrtteted much atten
tion. Then came the Cabinet officers,
the Judges of the Supreme Court, anil
after them officers of the Army in
dress uniform. At 12 o'clock the
general reception ensued, when there
was a promiscous rush of citizens.
Speaker Randall and Secretary Evurl
M-nurz, ihompson and .McLrury, also
held receptions in the afternoon,
which were largely attended. Secre
tary Sherman did not receive on ac
count of the death of his brother,
Judge Sherman, ui Cleveland.
Quite a large proportion of Con
gressmen have remained in the city
(luring the recess and the industrious
ones among them have been preparing
to contribute their share towurds u
season of uctivity after the reassem
bling on Tuesday. If there is any one
thing more than another tliut the
average Congressman wants in pre
paring his speech it is "figgers" and
judging from the numerous culls upon
tne various departments lor nggers"
a goodly number of orational efforts
are to be fired off before the efid ot
session. But speechmuking isn't ull
there is to be done. There is going to
be u hot fight over some of the impor
tant appropriations, ii ml a general
stirring up of numerous other things.
It is evident that the new army bill
will have to run the gauntlet of sharp
opposition. The charge is already
made that the section depriving the
government of the right to manu
facture arms, is a vast job in the in
terest of some private establishments.
But most objectionable of all is the
provision which reduces the Secretary
of War to a mere cipher, and over
throwing all civil control oi the mlli
tnry establishment in short, making
military superior to civil authority,
and the General of the Army above its
Constitutional Communder-in-chiet
the President. It won't go through
in thut shape.

Always Wear Suspender Buckles J
The Titusyille Herald records a
shooting affair at thut place New
Year's night. It appears that S. W.
Blakesley and Race Thomas had some
words in the Exchange Hotel bar
room about a women, when Thomas
slapped Blakesley in the face for an
alleged insult. Blakesley then went
toahardware store and bought a revol
ver. Entering the Exchange Hotel
bar-room again, the Ihrutd savs he
approached within three feet of
Thomas, leveled a pistol at him and
said, "Good bye, Race," and fired
instantly. Race rushed upon his as
sailant just in time to prevent a second
shot being tired, knocked him down
and gave him severe punishment. At
this point Mike Moran entered the
saloon, seized Blukesley, and conveyed
him lo the look-up, whie the revolver,
which hud fallen to the floor, was
picked up by Mr. Robbins. '1 he en
tire party were so completely taken by
surprise that they could hard'y realize
the situation. Upon examination it
was discovered thut the ball had en
tered the right coat sleeve of Thomas
and struck square against the buckle
of his suspender under the right nip
ple, from which it glanced around the
body and grazed the skin. Blakesley
spent the night in the lock-up, and
yesterday was arraigned before Justice
Strouse on 4-barge of shooting with
intent to kill. His counsel, Charles
B. GutbrU, waived atj examination
and asked for bail. The prisoner was
bound overto stand his trial In default
of $1,500 bail. He spent last night
In the lock-up, and unless he can pro
cure the required amount of ball will
be taken to Mead vl lie. The punish
ment for this offense, if eonVlctedi
will be five year solitary conflnehieht.
The place where the ball strut k
Thomas Is black and blue for several
inches. The siient ball was found in
the lining of his coat.
