John Mohrissisy, a brutal prize fighter
ami keeper of a gambling hell, is the bo.
earn friend and right hand wire-puller of
Governor Tilden. A sweet team to talk
about reform.
Tiik Boston hackmen are the pioneers
iu the reduction of prices. They have
gone back to old ante-M/um prices, and
will now carry a Hingle paasenger any-j

The sweltering condition in which Old
Sol keeps the people of this country ha*
already caused an increase of fifty per

cities. __

most of which has occurred within three

Us .Saturday, April 20,18G1, a meeting
in support of the Union and the old Hag
was held at Union Square, New York.
The cull for the meeting requested "citizens
of New York,'in faror of maintaining
the laws and Constitution of the
United .States," to attend. The call wan
largely signed by leading men of all parties.
Samuel J. Tilden refused to sign
the call or take part in the proceedings.
This was the first ol ?:i neries of
meetings in Hiipport of the (lovernment
against armed traitors. Samuel J.'
Tilden was conspicious by his absence
from them all. But in 180-1 he was con- 1
spiciious by his presence at the Chi cago'
Convention which was notoriously in
sympathy with those traitors, lie reported
the resolution which nought to paralyze
the arm of the Government by declaring
the war for the Union to be "four
years of failure" and demanding immediate
steps toward peace. Inconsistent as
Tilden's course has been in many things,
it was consistent in that.
The < ilj Mortality.
The quarterly report of the Oily |
Health Officer published a day or two
sgo ohows thai 100 death* occurred in i
Wheeling during the quarter ending
June?{0th. Thin would give us an annual
death rate of 21 jtersoiin to the 1,000,
counting the population at 28,000, which
in a heavy increase over the death rate
of the same months in 1875?almost 06
per cent. The deaths for the month of
May, 1875, were only 18, ami for the
month of June only >12. This year they
were, for May 48, and for June 72. For
the month of July last year the whole
mortality was only 48, while up to yesterday
it had already run up to 04 fur
this month. The death rate in Wheeling
for the whole of 1875 was only 17.21 per
thousand, and it was higher last yearj
than for the two previoun years. At the
present mortality rate we shall show at
the end of this year a decided increase
over 1875. The explanation of this increase
is found in the excessive heat that
prevails. The death rate has increased
all over the country. It ran up last week
in Baltimore to 303 as* against 232 the!
week before, and in New York the jump
was from 858 to 1,208. In Philadelphia
it was from 512 to 777. The into
ut mortality has heen great in
Philadelphia and New York, as it
ha* been also in Wheeling. By referr' .g
to the Health Officer's report for the
quarter ending June 30th, we notice that
out of the 100 deaths reported, 89 were
children under 5 years of age. There
wero 17 deaths from cholera infantum,
14 from scarlet fever, and 15 from measles.
There wero only 50 adult deaths out of
the whole 100.
In the month of June this year there were
*?i3 deaths under one year, 9 between 1 and
i! years,'12 between 2 and 5 years, while in
June 1875 there were only 8 under 1 year,3
between 1 and 2 years,and 7 between 2 and
0. During the first quarter of 1876 there
occurred 147 deaths, Becond quarter 97,
third quarter 133, fourth quarter 105.
During the winter months there were 130
deaths, spring 117, summer 128, and autumn
107. Of those dying in the summer
months 43 were under one,59 under two,
and 70 under five years. Thus 52? per
cent of those dying in the summer of last
year, and 44 3-5 per cent of the total
number of deaths were under live years of
uge. In the year previous (1874) the mortality
of children under five years of age
was considerably greater?vi*:?68 per
cent of those dying in the summer months
and 49} percent of the total mortality.
In his annual report for 1875 the
Health Officer noted the fact that the increased
death rate for that year was due
in part to the prevalence of Scarlet fever
and Diphtheria,both of which made their
appearance in the autumn of 1874 and
have continued to prevail to a greater or
leu extent eversince. And so it is down
to this time, as both diseases are still
suiung us, the former to a noticeable extent.
The mortality for this month so fur ouly
lacks 8 of the mortality of last month,
?nd we may therefore expect to see the
|>er cent |*er thousand considerably increased.
The present weather is the bane
?f children, as it also of all feeble persons.
The system becomes so relaxed as to "be
untiiiid to resist disease. People

Weitated the other day that it was estimated
that the average decline in price*
from May 1m, 1875, to May 1st, 1870, baa
t*?n about 10 per cent in tho leading articles
of commerce. This change in price
applies, or should apply, we presume, to
our family market supplies as well as to
everything else that we purchase. As a
of comparison with the prices'
quoted this morning under our
"Wheeling Family Market" head,
on the third page, we reproduce
the following quotations from our
issue of July 22d, 1875. Those interested
in comparing one thing with
another can run orer the two tables
and itemize them at their leisure. It
will he seen that there ia a noticeable dedine
in beef and butter, two principal
articles of family use, while lamb and
mutton are higher. Veal also is lower,
but vegetables do not show much varia'
tion.

Mr. Anthony said among the distinguished
visitors to the Centennial was Marquis
do Rochambeau, grand-son of Count
de, Rochambeau. He; had been called
home suddenly and had not time to visit
the national capital. The Marquis has
inherited all the. papers of iiijj grandfather,

and the bill as it came to the Senate from
the House of Representatives appropriates
$24,350,259. That amount was in*
creased by tho Senate $3,211,000. The
conference committee had reduced the
amendment of the Senate $1,402,193,

or $1,804,500 less than was appropriated

Tho consideration articles of impeachraent
was then resumed and John S.
Evans was sworn. After some discussion
ao to the continuation of the examination.
Mr. Conkling submitted the following
order which was agreed to: Ordered,
that the managers proceed to examine
I the witness, (Evan?) In chief, or should
| they decline to do so the respondent may
proceed to examine the witness in chief,
with the right of the managers to cross
J examine him like any other wltnesp.
I Mr. McMahon then proceeded to examine
Evans. He recounted the circumstances
under which he obtained the appointment.
He first aaw Belknap in Dubuque,
Iowa, then here in Washington;
he was introduced to Belknap, the second
time by Gen. E. W. Rice; Gen. Belknap
told him the appointment was already
promised; afterward, however, he made n
contract with Marsh, by which he received
the appointment in consideration ol
paying $12,000 ayear; the person to whom
. Belknap had promised the appointment
was Marsh; he paid Marsh various sums
according to the contract, aggregating to
, over $42,000. Evans testified that he never
had any conversation with tho Secretary
of War in relation to the payment!
of money; Marsh had no money invested
in the business
Mr. Sargent asked if the managers did
not intend to question the witnesi
about the conversations between Evans
1 and Marsh.
If- vr<Afntinn aaiH Iib liful nn nhiiiplinn,
Mr. Evans then related in sufcstanw
the conversations between himself and
Marsh. Marsh, it appears, wanted $20,
' 000 a year, but Evans could not nay that
and the figure fixed on waa $15,000. Th?
' next morning, however, Evans saw in a
1 newspaper that some of the troops were
1 removed from the post, and ne told
1 Marsh that he could not pay the sum
agreed on. They finally compromised
on $12,000.
Mr. Sargent asked if Marsh told him
what he intended to do with the money
Witness said he did not.
Cross-examined by Mr. Carpenter?
: Belknap never requested witness to se?
Marsh. It waa in reply to the statement
of witnen aa to the amount he had invetted
at Fort Sill that Belknap laid he
could see Marsh, who was to be in th
city HOOD.
O. Did Marsh say to you that he hai
to divide with anybody.
A. He never breathed anything of th
kind; I never heard any talk about an
, money being. paid to the Secretary c
War, until the publication of the articl
in the New York Tribune in '72; I neve
had any indulgence from the Secretary c
War, not common to other post traderi
I never paid the Secretary of War a ce'n
for the appointment; I did not tell th
Secretary he had made a contract wit!
Marsh. I could have reduced his price
for goods, more, had it not been for thi
payment of $12,000 for the position; !
knew nothing of anybody advising th
Secretary of War in regard to the agree
ment between Marsh and myself.
The Impeachment proceedings wen
temporarily suspended and the Legists
tive business resumed.
BONDBY CIVIL vBILL.
Mr. Windom,from the conference com
mittee on the sundry civil appropriate
bill, submitted a report, which was read
In explanation of the report, he sail
that the bill as it originally passed tin
House of Representatives appropriate<
$15,260,831. The Senate added $,120,79C
and as now reported it nppropriate<
$10,229,777. The total amountof the re
ductions made from the bill aa it posset
the Senate was $3,153,747. The nundrj
civil bill last year appropriated $32,004,
350, or $10,414,571 more than the presen
bill.
Wn nan minlilfl fn unv ?reat snvini
to tlio government in the reduction!* madf
in tlio conference committee from the bil
ad it passed the Senate, so far as thi
amount* were concerned. The conces
aions were all made by the Senate conferees.
He thought that it was the bea!
bill which could be got under the cir
cu instances.
He then mentioned the items constituting
the reductions, among them th(
following: Public printing and binding
$491,770; general expenses of the Dis
trict of Columbia, $600,000; revenui
cutter service, $25,640; Smithsoniai
Institute, $20,000; examination of liebe
archives, $0,000; United States posta
guide, $10,000; mints and assay offices
?04,000; public buildings at Cincinnati
$50,000: Chicago, $260,000; new State
war anu navy departments, $250,000; ne*
building at St.Louis, $150,000; navy goodi
and stations, $586,000; improvement o
Capitol grounds, $100,000; temporarj

signal office. $100,000; testing iron am
steel. $50,000: survey of public lands
$72,400; collecting revenue fron
the sales of public lands, $100,210
purchase of Freedinen's Bank build
ing, $325,000. He commented oi
the various items, and agreed that i
would be necessary to pass a large de
llciency bill next year. An the bill hat
been agreed on in the conference, it pro
vided that the Public Printer should 1m
appointed by the President. That officei
had heretofore been elected by the Senate
but the House for several years had dis
puted the right of the Senate to do so
and the Senate conferees thought it bes
to yield. The House had receded fron
its provision repealing the election law
After long and tedious efforts this bil
had been agreed on, and he hoped tin
report would be agreed to.
Mr. Anthony opposed the reduction o:
the appropriation lor public printing.
Mr. Morrill opposed the reduction o
the appropriation for the reveniu
cutter service. He also opposed any re
duction of the appropriation for minti
and assay offices.
Mr. Logan spoke of the importance ol
continuing the Work on the Chicago pub
He buildings, and said he could notiin
derstand why $450,000 was appropriate*
for the building at St. Louis and nothinj
for that at Chicago. He read a telogrnn
, from the supervising architect of tin
treasury to the effect that the unexpend
ed balance for the Chicago building nov
was but $250,000. He also opposed thi
bill because the appropriation of $5,00(
for alight in the crib off the city of Chi
cago was stricken out, and said he coulc
not understand why it was that
millions webe appbopriatfd
the other day to improve unfmportani
rivets, and this small sum for n light t(
vphrpIh hoarlntr millions OI dol
lara' worth of produce was not allowed
Mr. Edmunds said he would voU
against the report because it struck ou
the appropriation of $0,000 for the ex
amination of
BEBEL ARCHIVES.
The action of the House conferees ir
striking out this appropriation was
equivalent to saying that this evidence
' should be locked up and be of no use ir
sifting out the false from the true claimi
against the government. The most im
portant and valuable evidence had beer
found iiLthese archives, which protectee
the treasury. He argued that millioni
of dollars had been saved by the South
ern Claims Committee on account of the
evidence furnished by these rebel arch
ives. The attitude of the House of Rep
reaentatives was that there should be n<
more inquiry by the government intc
this fountain pregnant with evidence t(
defeat fraudulent claims.
Mr. Eaton said these archieves hat
been examined and were all labelled.
Mr. Edmunds replied it required con
stant care to keep them in order.
Mr. Windom again urged the adoptioi
of the report and said he had no doub
there would be a large deficiency bil
next year, but it would be after Novcm
ber, and thcro would not be so mucl
trouble in passing appropriation bills
This whole report was framed on the idei
that there would be a deficiency bill nex
year.
The report was then agreed to; yeas 39
nays 12. Those who voted in the negativi
were Messrs. Anthonv, Bruce, Conover
Edmunds, Hamlin. Harvey, Hitchcock
Ingalls, Logan, Mitchell, Morrill am
Spencer.
BELKNAP BESOMED.
The impeachment trial was then re
sumed, H. T. Chesley, Chief Clerk of th
War Department, was recalled, and teati
fied that Gen. Belknap, in reply to a res
olution of the House of Representative?
on the 28th of February last transmitter
to the House a list of the pott traders, in
cludingthe name of Evans. Therecon
of the Department showed that the de
partment of Evans was sent to C. P
Marah; remembered the letter of Mam]
asking that his appointment be made ii
the name of Jno. 8. Evans. Treated tha
letter as any other business letter of th
Department. The letter remained in th
i Department for four years, and until th
1 resignation of Qen. Belknap. Witnea
could not remember whether he hande<
the letter to Belknap by itself when h
i resigned or whether it was in a packag
i of letters.
Mr.g Carpenter announced that thi
. closed the case for the defense.
Mr, McMahon stated that the manager
had nothing to offer in rebuttal.
Mr. Carpenter asked that some arrange
, meat be made about the summing up c
i the cue and announced that three of th
i counsel for the defence,desired to b
i heard.
1 Manager Lord suggested that .the tim
i for argument be limited. He said tlia
I only two of the managers desired to b
heard on the question ol fact, but if ther
i was to be an argument as to the effect c
. the tWo*thirds vote on the question of ju
risdiction, a third manager desired to b
heard.
i Mr. Carpenter aaid the counael for th
; defence would argue all there was in thi
ease, and he regarded that aa one of th
i best points.
e Mr. Conkling submitted an order thai
three managers and three counsel may be

Col. Merrill'* Official ReporiThe
Cheyenne* Driven buck to
the Agency.
Chicago, July 19.?The following official
report of Colonel Merrill was received
at military headquarters to-day:
Red Cloud Agency, July 18M1
via Fobt Laramie, July 19. /
Ah indicated in my dispatch, I moved
by forced marches to the main northwest
trail on Indian Neck. In thirty-five
hours my command made about seventyfive,
miles, reaching the trail Sunday
evening about 9 o'clock. The trail showed
that no large parties had passed north.
At daylight yesterday I saddled up to
move on the trail toward the Agency, and
at the same time a party of seven Indians
were discovered north of the command
moving with the intention to cut off two
couriers who were approaching Sage
creek. A party was sent to cut these off,
killing one of them. The command at
once moved out. Other Indians were
seen in this direction. We gave chase,
but they escaped, leaving four lodges and
several hundred pounds of provisions behiud.
After scouring the country thoroughly
in our vicinity, we moved at once
towards the Agency. A distance of
twenty-five tailes to the northwest of
the Agency the Indians broke camp, so
that we did not succeed in catching any
of them. The trail was much worn, and
the indications were that 100 Indians were
driven In by our movement. From repeated
reports which I cannot give in
this dispatch, I was certain of striking
the Cheyennes. To accomplish this^ I
marched hard to get on their trail, taking
the infantry to guard the wagons and to
fight if necessary. The reporta received
From this point led me to believe that
nanv of the Sioux warriors were wilh
the Cheyennea. I am now satisfied that
Lhe number of Indians leaving the agency
ire exaggerated in the report, and I am
jertain that not a hundred Indians, or
rather ponies, have gone north on the
nain trail within the last ten days.
The Cheyennes whom we drove in yesterlay
took refuge on the reservation to*
vards Spotted Tail. If they leave again
[ think it will be to go south of the
igoncies, as they seem thoroughly frightmed
out of a"northern trip. Quranaearance

ired but afewdays reasonable marching
rith full forage will make them all right.
Gen. Merrit has taken up the line of
narch for Ft. Laramie thence to join
>ook as early as possible. Four comjanies
of fine cavalry are here now and
vill leave for Ft. Laramie in a few days,
vhether they will join the regiment and

and watch the agency is not yet

MURDERER CAPTURED.
James McCoy, for whom a reward of
51,600 had been offered by the miners of
Deadwood district for murder, was

Tbo Committee on Resolutions reportid
the following platform which was
idopted:
1. That the Democracy of Missouri,
n State Convention assembled, do hereby
idopt, endorse and reaffirm the National
Democratic platform adopted at St.
Louis.
2. That we hail with enthusiasm the
lomination of S. J. Tilden. of New York,
.'or President, and Gov. Thos. A. Henlricks,of
Indiana, for Vico President, as
he strongest possible combination the
Democracy of the Union could have seeded
for the suffrages of the Amercan
people, repressing in their great and varied

without distinction of race, color or

lo tho life, liberty and propertv of every
jitiren of the Union, and jiledge the
State of Missouri to ratify their nomination
by 00.000 majority.
Tho third and last resolution most
warmly indorses the administration of
3ov. Hardin, the present incumbent,
points to it as a model in the history of
the State, challenges comparison for it
with any other State in the Union, and
nnnn honorable record invites the co
operation of all good men to elect tho
ticket to be nominated by the convention.
Up to midnight the only nomination
received from the Convention is that of
Ino. S. Phelps for Governor, over Geo.
3. Vest, by a vote of 181 j to 91 J. The
other candidates were the present Stato
Attorney Hockadsy, 19; and M. V. L.
McClellan, 14.
The nomination of Phelps in regarded
m a great victory over the ex-Confcderato
Blemcnt and regarded as giving great
strength to the Tilden and Hendricks
ticket. The Convention is now in a night
session, bat it is doabtfal whether any
farther nominations will be reached to*
night in time to telegraph.
The Convention did nothing to?night
except listen to speeches from General

THE LONDON TIMES ON THE SITUATION.
The Timet in a leading editorial article
on the Servo Turkish conflict, says:
All that comes to the United States from
Belgrade is contradicted from Constantinople
and oonveraely when two opposing
statements appear in the same day in the
samo column, the most trusting reader
can not escape from the sensation of disap
pointment and indifference. We may
therefore confine ourselves to indicating
the main results of- the
campaign as they appear at the present
moment, and the position which
the neighboring States have assumed, or
are likely to assume, in consequence. It
is certain the original plan of the Servian
invasion has Men disconcerted, and
though undoubtedly they have fought
with the greatest courage, they can make
no real impression on the main body of
the Turks. Granting the 8ervian claims
that General Tchernayeff has suffered no
defeat, and that he is still in the advance,
and has taken means to insure his communications,
we still believe that he will
in the end have to fight for the security
of the Servian frontier. He has a small
army, and the Turks even now outnumber
him. Taking into consideration the
numerical superiority of the Turks,
the difficulty of moving in such a country,
and the defectiveness of Gen. TchernayefFa
equipment, we must conclude
umi me war wiu couuaue iu irings me
Servian frontier. The Htrangest failure
of the campaign is the movement of the
Prince of Montenegro. He has a force
estimated at 30,000, largely composed of
volunteers from other district*. He
boaats of great successes; that he has
beaten the Turks, and they have retreated
bctore him; that his men would
have made the port of Klek useless
to the Turks even if the Austrian* had not
closed it. He has entered Nevesinje,
and threatens Mostar, but he is not cooperating
with Servia unices there be
something very profound in the plan of
the campaign. The notion that the Montenegrins
do not count upon the success
of their allies and therefore go for what
they can get for themselves begins to prevail.
A short time will show the truth.
In the meantime Greece remains entirely
peaceful and Houmania balances her demands
on the Porte by her earnest declarations
of neutrality and will probably
keep quiet as long ss she can.
