cinnati upeech that the national Treas

payments, and is only prevented from
doing eo by the strict letter of the law.
The election in Colorado on Tues
day last resulted In the success of the
Republican ticket by about 2,200 major
ity. Judge Kelford is elected by a large
vote. The Greenback vote of the State
was about 1,200.
General IIalheht E. Taine, of
Wisconsin, has been appointed Com
missioner of Patents. His commission
will be prepared without delay. He is
now in Washington but will not enter
upon the discharge of his duties till
the 1st of November.
Turkey has a currency exclusively
of paper based upon the whole wealth of
the country, and yet she is not happy.
It has declined during the past week at
the rate of one per cent, a day, and its
tendency is still downward. Even the
poor Ignorant Turks sigh for a currency
that has a little more solid foundation.
It is reported that at the close of a
Greenback meeting in a Maine town the
other evening, a collection was taken
up to pay the orator of the evening for
expenses incurred. The hat was passed
around, and when it was emptied it was
full of paper inscribed, "This is 25
cents," " This is 60 cents," and though
the amount footed up to quite a large
sum the orator was not happy.
The-Secretary of the Treasury pro
moted O. H. Irish, of Nebraska, late
Assistant Chief of the Bureau of En
graving and Printing of the Treasury
Department, to be Chief of that Bureau,
vice McPherson, resigned. He also ap
pointed Daniel W. Wilson, of Ohio, to
be Assistant Chief of the Bureau, vice
Irish, promoted. Mr. Wilson has held
a position in the Bureau for some time.
Oil Lands Claimed by the Government.
The law officers of the government
have taken steps to eject parties from
the possession of about 1000 acres of
land In the Pennsylvania oil regions.
This land was taken in part payment of
a debt of about $00,000 due the United
States by the Venango County Bank.
It was held by the former owner in the
days of the oil fever at a fabulous sum,
he having at one time refused an offer
of $700,000 for the same.
Some Comparisons.
A man now who gets his dollar a day
can buy with it, sixteen yards of calico.
In 1864 his wages at a dollar and a half
per day would buy four yards.
A man now who gets a dollar a day
caTvauiywitn that sum, twelve yards of
good musIThHhi dollar and a half in
1864 would buy 'HTnrtJut three yards of
same quality.
A man now who earns a dollar a day
can buy with his wages for three days a
good pair of boots. In 1864 his dollar
and a half a day would only pay for a
pair of boots after four days' labor.
A man now who earns a dollar a day
can buy with it ten pounds of sugar. In
1863 his wages at one dollar and a half
per day would have purchased him
only four pounds.
A man who earns one dollar a day can
buy with his day's wages five pounds of
coffee. In 1865 his day's wages at one
dollar and a half per day would purchase
him three pounds.
A man who now earns a dollar per
day can buy with it sixteen quarts coal
oil. In 1865 his dollar and a half per
day would have bought him four quarts.
A man who earns one dollar per day
now, can buy with It four yards of good
pants stuff. His one dollar and a half
per day of 1865 would have bought him
three yards.
This list of comparisons might be
greatly lengthened, but the above will
do for the present to show how much
more can now be had for one dollar than
could be had In 1865 for one dollar and
a half.
Yellow Fever Reports.
, The fever is spreading rapidly at Gret
na, where the Howard Committee are
feeding forty destitute families.
TheNew Orleans Relief Committee have
made another appeal to the Secretary of
War for rations for the destitute.
Holly Springs physicians reported
fifteen new cases and ten deaths Thurs
day. Every store In the place was
closed.
At Canton, Miss., the fever has taken
a very fresh start, and is said to be more
malignant. Seventy-five cases are under
treatment.
The Howard Association has received
an earnest appeal for aid from Dr. It. H.
Terry, of Haynes Bluff, in whloh he
details the destitute condition of the
people. He has over 100 cases of fever
under treatment, and the epidemic Is
steadily increasing. The people are
terror-stricken. President Andrews, of
the Vicksburg Howards, says :
The disease is spreading all through
the adjacent counties. They all look to
us for aid, and we are doing all in our
power to relieve their necessities. Delta,
Louisiana, has twenty-one cases, and
three deaths have occurred within the
last t'venty-four hours. Have sent phy
sicians, nurses and medicines. The de
mands are increasing upon us dally.
Trouble In Luzerne County.
A dispatch from Wllkesbarre is as fol
lows : " Nanticoke, a borough of several
thousand inhabitants in Luzerne coun
ty, is experiencing a local sensation of
the most perilous character. The ques
tion at issue is the management of the
schools. The labor party elected a new
school board last spring by handsome
majorities, but, owing to the omission
of specifying the length of term to
which each man was elected the county
courts have decided that the board Is not
qualified to act. The other board have
been endeavoring to take possession of
the school property, but have met with
ill success. The ofllcers of the coal and
Iron police have been driven from the
town, and hundreds of frenzied citizens
parade the streets.
The sheriff has sworn in 150 special
deputies, who, armed with muskets, un
der the command of Deputy Sheriff
Con niff, are charged with the responsi
bility of maintaining peace. The par
ties to the dispute aie worked up to the
greatest pitch of excitement. Any mo
ment the citizens may find themselves
involved In a bloody riot. Only by the
most prompt measures of the deputy
sheriff last evening was this averted.
As it was a prominent and wealthy cit
izen of the borough, Thomas M'Neesh,
was Btabbed.
An Emigrant Swindler Bagged.
On the steamer Illinois, which arrived
here on Monday morning, were two
German emigrants, steerage passengers,
by the names of August Gremel and
Joseph Gantzer. They came from
Elsaes, Germany, and had purchased
from the American Steamship Com
pany's agent in Antwerp, besides the
passage tickets, receipts for railway
tickets from Philadelphia to St. Paul,
Minn. On the last day of the voyage
they made the acquaintance of a Ger
man giving the name of Henry Myers,
who was working his passage in the
engineer's department of the Bteamer.
After they landed he took them in tow,
and Bhowed them the sights of the city.
Finally he told them they would go
down to the emigrant ticket-office, at
116 Market street, and there exchange
their receipts for the railway tickets.
The confiding candidates for American
citizenship gave him the receipts, and
stood outside while he went into the
office and transacted the business. Upon
returning to them he gave them a couple
of cards, and telling them to go and
take the train, bade them good-bye. At
the depot the emigrants learned that
the cards were not railroad tickets and
were worthless. They then wandered
about the city, and were finally taken
to the Central, where they told their
story. In the meantime Myers had got
possession of their baggage, consisting
of two wooden trunks, and taken it to a
lodging-house on Seventh street above
Market street. The case was turned
over to reserve patrolman Guyger, who
recovered the baggage and sent a descrip
tion of Myers along the line of the
Pennsylvania Railroad, which move re
sulted in his capture on a train yesterday
near Altoona. He will be brought back
to this city to-night. Philadelpliia

Penn8ylvanlans Die of Yellow Fever.
The following letter was received at
the Patriot office last week :
Montgomery, Alabama, Sept. 24th,
Dear Editor : The yellow fever is here ;
six deaths yesterday Messrs. Ed. Hunt,
Dr. J. Picholi, I. J. Jenks, J. M'GIll,

and died within twenty-four hours. All
their northern friends deserted them

known outside of the city, though
hundreds are leaving. Please nublish
this In your paper, as some of these
gentlemen were from Renovo. They
are all Pennsylvanlans, but I don't
know their respective addresses. Yours
in haste, and worn out, Dn. H. May.
Great Bank Failure.
London, October 2. The liabilities
of the City of Glasgow bank, which
closed its doors to-day are stated at $30,
000,000. The bank was established in
1830, and had fifty to sixty branches.
This is the heaviest bank failure In
Scotland since 1857, when this concern
also suspended. The other Scotch banks
were asked for assistance, but after ex
amining the books, at a meeting yes
terday, refused to do more than redeem
the note circulation of the city of Glas
gow bank, which is stated at three and a
quarter million dollars.
The Grain Market Depressed.
New York, October 3. The failure
of the banks of Glasgow and Lancashire
had a very depressing effect upon all
grain markets. Wheat in Chicago

each. Corn was one cent lower in each
city.
