The schooner Cherubim, Captain M.
E. Lank, from Morigonia, llayti, for
New York, put in at Smithville yes
terday in distress. Captain Lank and
the mate, Lem Lank, both died of
yellow fever on the passage, and were
buried at sea. The vessel is now at
quarantine station, and one man has
been sent to the hospital. Tlio schoon
or was built in Baltimore and was

A terrible light took place near
St. Louis in an old stable between a
Siberian bloodhound and Patsy Bren
nan, pugilist, for -00 a side. The
man was victorious after a disgusting
light of forty-rive minutes, in which
his shoulders and arms were terribly
lacerated by the dog's teeth. The
bloodhound had his heavy Ii ps torn oil'
and was so badly maimed that lie
died within an hour. The police, are
busy hunting up all concerned in the
brutal exhibition.
The barn and enginehouse of A.
X. Haskins, two mills from Wnvcrloy
Station, Va., on the Atlantic, Miss
issippi and Ohio railroad, was des
troyed by fire. The barn contained
?.5l)0 bushels of peanuts ready for the
inni-!:t. The engine, ooilcr, saws
and the entire fixtures for threshing
and cleaning peanuts, and many val
uable farming implements, wore also
destroyed. Loss, $5,000; partially cov
ered by insurance. The tire was the
work of at) incendiary.
Evansville, Ind,, December 2S.
The steamer Prairie City, plying on
the Wabash river between New Har
mony and Wabash Station, on the
St- Louis and Southeastern railroad,
blew up yesterday afternoon above
Hodge's Landing. The ri reman, cabin
boy and a female cook ure missing.
The body of Captain M'ln'yre's wife
was found on shore with both arms
ofj. Captain Cox, who was at the
wheel, was blown up with it and fell
back in the wreck, but escaped with a
broken arm, a sprained ankle, and
numerous bruises. The engineer re
ceived only slight injuries. The
survivors escaped on a barge in tow,
and were taken to New Harmony for
medical aid.
The sad spectacle of a woman be
ing sentenced to stiller the deatli pen
alty was witnessed iu Carlisle, this
State, a few days since. The criminal
is a Mrs. Zell, who was convicted sev
eral weeks ago of poisoning an old
woman named Kiehl, who was past
eighty years of age. The motive ap
pears to have beeu the inheritance of
a small property. There is, perhaps,
no good reason why female murderers
should bo deprived of the right to
have the same punishment inflicted
which men are compelled to endure
for capital crime, and yet we cannot
believe that this State will ever hung
a woman, no matter how clearly con
victed or grout her offence. Mrs.. Zell
will be fcaved form the gallows either
Uy the Supreme Court or the Board of
pprdons. Publie beutiment regards
the hanging of women as barbarous,
and we predict with gieat confidence
that neither the Carlisle prisoner nor
any other woman will ever Buffer capi
tal punishment in Pennsylvania.

The Demand for Hills.
KM A Ll. DENOMINATIONS WANTED.
A correspondent writing from i
Washington says : The demand upon
the Treasury lor United Slide note
of the: denominations of $", floundf-U
is largely in excess of the capuelly of
the department) supply. The de
mand has continued since the 1st of
July last aud it has increased to such
uu extent that the legal-tender Hole
balunce has fallen oil' from $ol,ooo,00u
on September 80, to $J3,000,000 on De
cember 24, a loss of $.17,000,000 iu Jess
than three months. In the same time
(from Sept. 30) the coin balance lias
sustained a loss of $7,000,010, the bul
lion account reiiiaiuingahout the same,
while the silver dollars on hand have
increased $2,000,000, and thesubsldiary
silver coins about the same amount.
The comparatively small increase iu
I lie amount of silver dollars indicates
that a large number of these coins
lit ,o gone into circulation during the
last three mouths. The law requires
that there shall be coined each month
a minumuiit of $20,000,000 which
would give $'1,000,000 us the coinage
for the three months. As the Trea-
tiry at this date shows an increase of
only $2,000,000, it follows that about
$,ou0,oo0 in stundurd silver dollars
have gone into circulation since Sep
tember iiotli. Treasurer Uillilhtu re
ports that there is a brisk demand for
these coins, in well as for United
States notes, at New Orleans and
Charleston, S. C, and that large sums
are almost daily deposited with the
Sub-Treasurer at New York for trans
fer to, and issue at, the two Southern
cities named. On one day recently
$75,000 in coin was thus transferred to
New Orleans, and the daily transac
tions iu transferring money front New
York to New Orleans will average
30,')00. The demand for money front
the South shows that the business re
vival lias reached that sectiou.
SILVER CEKTH K ATES.
The scarcity of United States notes is
materially helping to put silver eer-
tilicates iu circulation. These eertifl
cat ?s are paid out at the Sub-Treasury
at New York iu exchange for silver
bullion purchased by the government,
and it is believed that at present most
of these certificates find their way
South, to meet the current demand for
money front that section. The banks
can now only obtain United States
notes in limited amounts, iu exchange
for old and worn out notes sent iu for
redemption and exchange, and this
scarcity of legal-tender notes having
the cll'ect to force a large number of
sil ver certilicatcs into general circula
tion. Since resumption of specie pay
ments, the Treasury Department has
not issued coin certilicatcs, the issue
of such ceriilleates being made useless
by the fact that United States notes
command their face value in gold, and
are, therefore, for all purposes, coin
certilicatcs. The Secretary of the
Treasury, however, in order to accom
modate the customs business of Nihv
York, caused to be issued United
States notes of the denominations of
$'),ooo to $10,000. To the amount to
which notes of these large denomin
ations were issued notes of smaller de
nominations had to be destroyed, lie-
cause the law hxes the volume ol
United States notes at $310,081,010.
The total amount issued in these larger
denominations was ilO.Ol-'i.OoO, of
which $o,oo.),uoo were iu the de
nomination of $o,000, and $5,010,000 in
the denomination of $10,000. These
largo noles do not, of course, enter
into general circulation, and the
amount which they represent is prac
tically so many dollars In circulating
notes withdrawn front general busi
ness. The demand for United States
notes of denominations between $20
and $o has been so great and persis
tant that these notes of large denom
inations Inive destroyed the notes of
smaller denominations issued in their
stead. At this time the fj.OoO and
$10,000 notes outstandiug will aggreg
ate less than $1,500,000. Theuniouut
outstandiug in those denominations
on November 1 was $5, "50,000.

THE SUIT FOR 1880.
Tiik Si n will deal with the events
of the year lssi) in ita own fashion,
now jiretty well understood by every
body. From January 1 until Decem
ber ol will be conducted an a newspa
per, written in the English language,
and printed for the people.
A a newspaper, Tiik Si n believe
iu gelling all the news ol the world
promptly , and presenting it in the
most intelligible shape the shape that
will enable its readers to keep well
abreast of the age with the least un
productive expenditure of time the
greatest interest to tlie greatest num
berthat is, the law controlling its
daily make-up. It now has a circu
lation very much larger than that of
any other American newspaper, and
enjoys an income which it is at all
times prepared to sptnd liberally for
the benefit of its readers. People of
all conditions of life and all ways of
thinking buy and read Tut: Sun: ami
they all derive satisfaction of isomer
sort from its columns, for they keep on
buying and reading it.
In its comments on men and affair,
Till; Si n believes that the guide of
policy should be common sense in
spin.d by genuine American princi
ple and backed by honesty of purpose.
For this reason it is, and will continue
to be, al solutely independent of parly,
class, eliijue, organization, or interest.
It is for all, but of none. It will con
tinue to praise what is good and re
probate w hat is evil, Inking cure that
its language is to the point and plain,
beyond tlie -ililit.v of being mis
understood, it n uninfluenced ly
motives that do not annearoii fhesm--

and rascality even more than it bates
unnecessary words. It abhors frauds,
pities fools, and deplores nincompoop?
of every species. It will continue
throuchout the year lSu to chastise
the lir-t class, instruct the second and
discountenance the third. All honest
men with honest convictions, whether
sound or mistaken, are its friends.
Ami Tut: ir. makes no hones of tel
ling the truth to its friends and about
its friends whenever occasion arisen
for plain speaking.
These are the princples upon which
Tiik Siw will lie conducted during
the year to come.
The year lswiwlll be one in which
no patriotic American can iiil'ord to
close his eyes to public atlairs. It is im
possible to exaggerate t he importance
of the. political events which it has in
store, or tlie necessity of resolute vig
ilance on the part of every citizen who
desires to preserve tlie Government
that tho founders gave us. Tlie do--bates
and acts of Congress, the utter
ances of the press, tlie exciting contest
ot the Keiiuhliean and llemoeralic
parties, now nearly oiiuul in strength
throughout the country, tlie varying
drifts of public sentiment, will all bear
directly elteetively upon the twenty
fourth Presidential election, to be held
in November. Four years ago next
November the will of the nation, as
expressed at the polls, was thwarted
by an abominable conspiracy, the pro
moters and beneficiaries of which still
hold tlie offices they stole. Will tho
crime of 17U be repeated in 1H80? JUio
past decade of years opened with a cor
rupt, extravagant and insolent Ad
ministration intrenched at Washing
ton. Tiik Srxdidsom thing toward
dislodging tlie gang, and breaking itn
power. The same men are now intrl

selves to place from which they wero
driven by the indignation of the peo
