TheTfeir.Yoik Tribune prinU a letter from Saratov, Bowi, under date of .March 8,'to the effect that the preTalence of the plague has been exaggerated. The corres poadeat affirmi that lies hare been sent oat ai Bern, and the alarm is false. In view of the fact that many of the reports of the ex- teat of the plagne case from St. Peters bare, it is hard to understand why each hurtful atoiies should be in circulation with the consent of the government which is asost affected by them. ACNIHAI f. There is to be a Word' Fair held at Melbourne, Australia, commencing on the 1st of October, 1SSD, and to continue until the 31st of March. 1631. We acknowl edge the receipt of a copy of the pro grasaae and regulations. Applications fur pace are inrited as early ar possible, and should be made not plater than the first cf Jose, 1S79. They must be made through the representatives of the country to which the applicants belong, or in the event of no representative being appointed, intending exhibitors can communicate direct with the Secretary of the commission. Govern ments intending to participate in the Exhibition are requested to forward an in timation to that effect not later than June 1st, 1879. A 'Washington special to the Cincinnati Gaatti says that a gentleman very inti mately acquainted with Mr. Tildn, states that he is in a very precarious condition physically, and that he is liable to drop off any day. He says that the true condition ot Mr. Tilden is concealed by his friends, and that he is made to masquerade in public when he should really bj in bed. Frank Hiscock, Republican member of Congress from .New Yorfc, and a member of the late Potter committee, is paid to be willing to bet any amount of money that Mr. Tilden will not liye a year. Hiscock examined Tilden in 2ew York during the Potter committee investigation, and bares his judgment on Mr. Tilden's feeble ness and condition on that oc casion. Such stories, however, are to he taken with a good large grain of allowance. They are evidently the inven tion of rival candidates, who having lost all hope of defeating the "old man" in the national convention, are cow trying to make the people believe that he is too fee ble to run. But his shrewd tricks, by which he every now and then out-wits all the rest of the Democratic party, do not i-how any great detrree of feebleness at least, not of the intellect. VERY Jf AIJ.N ITIOf.S. The Democrats of the national House of Representatives have decided to allow the Republicans all the time they want for de- bating the partisan measure which are to be nut throuzh at the present pe-sion. This is Terr magnanimous on the part of the Dtin ocrats especially in view cf the fact that they couldn't prevent it, for while they are strong enough to paps a party measure, by a bire majority, they are not ftrouc enough to enforce ihe gg law; Were it otherwise, the dipcuwion of tie e qiestion would be cut vry short, for the K-publi- cans promise to mke juct such epeechts as the Democrats do not want. Tht-y are vry apprehensive of the fleet of the debate upon the Northern vote. In regar.l to the speech made by General Girfield a few days ago, one of the leading Democrat" was heard to rcmaik that while in his opinion Garfield'esptech did not touch the case in point of argument, it was an ap peal to the people which Democrats would find it imposible to answer. The contract between the closing chapter of the seceed ing Democracy in 1SC1, and the opening chapter of the restnrtd Confederate D-in- ocracy in 1S79, and the fact that the Dem ocracy iostified the mc of the urmy to run down fugitive tlaves in the North before the war. bat find it unconstitutional now to preserve peace at the jolls with the ar my, or to prottct the liberaUd negro in his rights as a freman, are the features of the sneech which the Democrats admit it will be difficult for them to answer, and which strongly appeal to public opiuion in the North. The Republicans realizs this fact, and before the close of the day's mh- sion en which the speech was delivered, over a hudred thousand copies of it had been subscribed for. It vill be circulated everywhere, and will undoubtedly haTe a telling effect THETIJICSMH.I, Aiintn.

It waa one of those things which was sure to come in the pi tigress of events, aid in solving great problems of government upon this continent." He conceded expressly that the abolition of slavery would prove an ultimate good to the country ; that it was a manifest advan tage to the white race, for it would lead to the development of the South, and multi ply her manufacturing and mechanical in dustries. Speaking of national affairs, he said he accepted the situation as decided by the arbitrament of the sword, and that he was very hopeful of the future of the country. He did not believe litre was any existing cause, fur ectional estrangement, or that there could la- any hereafter. Oce of the results of the war already apparent was that the Sou'h was less dependent upon the North than heretofore; for, while she would supply great stsples ss before, her people had begun to produce a greater variety of crops for their own use than ever before, and they would eventually compete with other sections in manufactures and mechanical arts. In this connection lis remarked that, while the South was destitute of money and the value of real estate was greatly depressed, in a xery short time the price of landed property would advance be cause of its intrinsic value in the produc tion of staple articles of commerce. He remarked that the only disturbing elements to be discerned now were the efforts of ex tremists upon both sides to keep alive ani ma'ities and hitredaof the a;L If Con- Css would pursue a moderate course, and attend to its legitimate duties of genera ltgislation for the good of the whole coun try, all the great social acd industrial questions which were now a source ot to much contention would sojn settle thtm- selves and the country would be at peace Sj ctking of himself he eaid : You may aiure your people that I have no uiikioilne-s in my heart to them or any of the i-eople of the North.

It is well to remind people that when they commence the periodical renovation of their domiciles, especial attention should be given to cellars. They should not only have the bent fit of thorough ventilation hut they should b whitewashed, and any particle of decaying vegetable matter or other objectionable substance removed. Scrupulous care in these particulars may prevent eitknets two ;iikat rtins. Ta-o international exhibitions are an nounced for next year one in Melbourne and one in the City of Mexico. At both fairs an excellent opportunity,it is txpec ed, will be offered to American inventors and manufacturers for the display of their pro ducts. Australia and Mexico are heavy buyers of manufactured goods, and the ex hibitions of 1S30 ought to be the means of increasing our trade in both these direc tions. KM druse A svll.TIKO The prosjiect of lo-ing their laboring classes, and of btioc cbligd to soil their on hands with honest toil, is briniig the Southern eople to their senses, ai d they are now In-ginning to interest them selves in devising some meins to keep the colored people at home. The Vicksbutg tr. 11, a reprerntative of extreme South ern opinion, now propoes to give the col ored iop!e of Mississippi a representation in the Legi-lature. Thti, the minority will kindly consent to allow the majority to have a few representa'ives in the Lgis Iature, in order to keep them from leavirg the Stite. This is certainly very kind, but it will hardly be sufficient to check the exodus of colored people to the North and West, which h row fairly b-gun. A HI. M I .TI IM. Mt'liETir.

Mr. Icgalla is going along qui etly attending to his own business, and be slowing n' anxiety upon the sulj ct in which the conspirators stem to be so deep ly interested. THE IOWA CtSE. There was some question last fall as to whether the congressional election in Iowa was held on the day required by lay, and hence at the general elections in Novem ber some two or three hundrea Democrats cast their votes for the Democratic candi dtes who were defeated at the election in October. It is now proposed to unseat the Republicans and give their places to the Democrats This matter was talked of immediately aftr the election; nobody im sgined, however, that any political part? in ihis country would dire to resort to such a scheme. But it teems that the public his underestimated the Democratic cspicity f r rascality, and a motion hap actually been made in the House to seat one of the Democrats thus voted for. In referring to this fact, the New York Tri bune of March 29, says: The Dt-mrcratic party is digging its own grave wilh all the energy worthy of so ChI a cau-e. A motion mde yesterday by Mr. Spwger, of Illinois, whose appear ance as a lender is usually the signal for suuie disgraceful or undignified perform auce, leavtK little doubt that the inaj rity in the House intend to s lengthen their narrow margin by an outrage which would cist lheCulorado fraud far into the shade It is actually rnp-d, if yesterday's ac tion is a safe indication, to seat as a mem btr of the House of Represents lives from the Republican Slate f Iowa a Democrat who rtceived 20 votes at a bogus elrction held in November, the Kgular election havit k b.eu held in October, and the usual nutub-r of votes io that di-trict beicg 30, 000.

If the Democrats count upon do ing this. they overestimate their own resources and underestimate the vitality of the American conscience. Tee Iowa outrsge, should it be perpetrated, would attract far more atten tion thsn the Colorado case. Iowa is nearer the centre of population, the frand would be grosser and more brazen. The result of the Colorado outrage was that that young State gave a much larger Re publican majority than before, but if Mr. Springer leads his party to tbe end of the road on which they have started together, the result will not be confined to tbe State of Iowa VHT THEY AME UtTG. apoa the fact that so many of peeple are leaving IGa- 1 Lytaisiaaa, for homes ia the .Watt, tfaa Xtw Orleaaa Oiserscr, a B-vahli- atowaeaaaf w azotes - o.'WsJ .-- - IJBAVtfJN WORTH ,n -ra-nftaBcn bb maii -aw as -, - :y shall deprive the colored dtizesa of the at-l gigantic encounters whose result has bea tributes of freedom, safety of life aad. prop- an immeasurable waste.

Failing of trading houses, suspensions of banks, clos ing of mills acd manufactories have been common. The crisis is not over. The names of some financial institutions hither to rated very highly have been made frre within tbe banking and money ctr-les cf Locdon. Even tbe most conservative news papers admit that it is idle to deny or ig nore the fact that an "uneasy ftc-licg txiels in the city." The uneasy feeling has found itaway in to I4Lrliament, In tbe Housed Lords la-t evening Lord Huntleveugz-sted that an in quiry be made iuto the "depression of agri- eiiltnre and commerce." Ia opisvire ihe ' inquiry at the present time the E.iri Bea- con-field admitted that the d-pression was unprecedented. The estimated lint the I Dublic -ealih had decreased asu.uuo.wu 1400 000.0001 and tbe a-ea of land unoer cultivation had dimini-hed 1 000000 acres. The Prime Minister was of the opinion list Rupliah indtistrv acd commerce kept well up wilh the industrv and commerc- of other nations. The depression wasgereral. All venders of coruniodiths were suffering from low iiricfs. aud Lord BsaconfiId had the courage to admit tb st thee luse of low pricrs was partly csused '"by the deprecia tion of silver." This admission is a very significant one coming from the Prime Min ister of the country that has been the great obstacle in the way of bi-metallism. To the torm of the sdmusion, of course, ex ception must be taken. I ia rather the ap preciation of gold than the depreciation of silver to which the decline in prices must be attributed. But tbe admhsion dos not lose any of its force because of the f julti nesscf its form. The noble Eirl diclartd that the general inquiry would l barren of results, but that ' an inquiry as to the change in value of the precious metals and its eflect on Enclii-h industry might here after be desirable." This is only valuable as an index. It shows that the silver question is forging its wav to the front in England.

Such menaces as there are of war, are be' ween civilized and uncivilized races England has two of those center's on hand one with the Afghanese, and the other with the Zilns. This countrv will proba bly have its usual Indian wars unless it lie that the Indians are more patient and forbearing than uual, and will consent to be rob -ed and (betrayed without resorting to the warpath.

There is any number of sensational and alarming reports from England with refer ere to the condition of the Anglo-Russian relations. These are represented as very precarion; that Russia is intriguing in Asia against the integrity ot the Indian empire, and that, in consequence, war i liable to occur at anv moment between the two countries. The danger of war from this direction is a very remote one Ever since the advent of tbe Conservatives to power tbey have been beating drums, marching and countermarching troops and acting as if they were on the ere of a gigantic fight. The party that wouldn't fight when the Russians were in the neigh borhood ot nstantinonle will not fight now, when the provocation is no more se rious than reported intrigues in Central Asia, ine tones wisn to appear a very warlike party because the masses are caught by this class of chaff; the more so when tney can mate themselves appe-r to be very warlike and ferocious without its costing a cent or there being any blood spilled ia the operation.

The sheriff of Osage county, with two as sistants, left yesterday with "the eight pris oners from Osage county, who have bn confined in Wil here f r some time. Ihev were loaded in a wagon, two in a seat, acd handcuffed and shackled together, and a chain running through the wagon from end to end, fasteced them all together. These will be the last prisoners that will be brought here from Ossge, as tbey now have a jiil arranged on the iron cage plan at Osage City, which will be used in future. A SERIOUS ACCIDANT. ballLa Herald, K'.l Jacob Malm;ren, Jr, living on Dry Creek, met with a serious accident, Friday, while on Filth street, taking a load of wheat to mill. The tongue of his wagon dropped, and the horses becime frightened, running away. The foot board cf the wanton broke, and Mr Malingren, clinging to the Hoes, was thrown ou the horses heels. He was struck on the temple by the sharp shod hoof of one of the horses, severing ihe temporal artery. H was carried to Sale's drug store, and the services of Dr. Crowley called into requisition, who took up the artery and st pprd the fbw of blo-sl, whic) would ana have ended Mr. Malmgren's life. He is now djing well. COUNTERFUT DOLLAfS. New and excellent count-rfeit silver dol lars aie justout and will deceive everyone unless careful attention is paid The gen eral appearance cl tbe piece is very gocd indeed. Even acids will not affect iL The weight, however, is against it, the scales showing that it has ju-t seven-tenths of the weights a standard dollar should have. There are other minor defects which were ascertainel after some lit'le examination. It is a trifle thicker, for instance, than the standard dollar, acd the milling on the edge is JimrerfeCL The figure "8" in "lS7o" is also imperfect, having dots in each loop. The same fstilt attaches to tbe "p" in "I'luribus Unum," The bottom of "Pluri bus" should be straight, but is slightly curved, and the bottoms of the letters in "United States of America" slightly crook ed and broken. The counterfeit is compo sition with heavy wah. The proverbially careful tradesman needs to evince an ex tra amount of caution and give it a wide berth. A NEW TRAIL. IIInMey Graphic, 231 Oa Thursdsy list, Mr. Xewell returned, having fiui-hed laying out a road and plowing a furrow from Crooked Creek to Kinsley trail. The line of this new roul runs on an old trail from the bridge across the Arkansas which is followed nineteen miles up the river; here the plow was started and runs in a southwest direction, intersecting the Cansdtan t- ail at Gan's ranche, forty nine miles from Kinsley. It is a direct and straight road to Meade City. There is no toll bridge ac oss the Arkansas and co sand bills to cross. It is the best and nearest road to Supply, and the ranches acd cattle camps south of this pl-ce. Guide boards and mounds luve been put up, which prevents all OsjibiI ity of loeing tbe trail. COAL IN FORD COUNTS. iSpearville Mews, 29 j Several parties who have been prospect ing for cost, f r some time past, told one of our bla-k-miihs a short time ago, that in a short time they would bring him a load ot coal from their mine, and on last Ihursd-y evening they arrived with a c-msiderable quantity of fi e coal. They report as hav ing struck a vein of from two to three feet, and a good article ot coal, lhereiscon siderable exciteu.ent in town over this dis covery, aid it will be invaluable to this part of thecountrr. We have ntyet mtr'e a vi'it to the mine, but give tbe facts as re ported to us We have samp es of the coal, which has an appearance similar to surf a coal, scd in quslity something like the Ot-ge coal. Should ihe vein prove as expected f om appearances, the Item ol fuel will here fter be coRsMered by seltleis, as it will be cheap and convenient. THE RESULT OF A SrREE. Bellot Democrat, 58. X. P. Doran, a brother cf the notorious John Doran who is awai ing his trial on a charge ot rae, borrowed a horse from a ne:ghbir, south of Cawker City, to ride to Beltot, Upon his arrival here he sold the hore, bridle and saddle and went to Concordia where he becime intoxicated and was lodged in iiil Sunday evening, and released after pat ing his fine Monday morning Marshall Lingtjrd ol this place telegraphed to Concordia, and Cljde aod caught him at the latter place Sheriff Hobert went after the culprit and bro ght bioi to this place where he now puts up ia the "cooler" to await trial. Since writing the above Doran wis ar raigned before JuJie Holt and pled guilty Wedi e-day. I be Judge pronounced sen tence Thursday morning.

Atchison Champion, 30.1 A many nsmed Sam Edgington, while in a state of beastly intixicsiioo, indulged in an altercation with Nellie Johnson.a colored prostitute, living below Seaton's foundry about midnight, last night. He used very abusive laogusg- towards the said Miss Johnson, who proceeded immediately to o brush him d-urn wilh a ball bat. After knocking bim down she commenced a sys temaiic series cf piucding, snd he was left on the ground for dead. Officers Kopelk, Butler and Starr were notified and with a Chmnpion reporter, proceed ed to the scene of the supposed bloody tragedy Tbey found Mr. Edgington in a very bid condition, lying in ih- street, with a badly demi nlized bead acd as in sensible as a saw log He was taken to his room in Smith's block, where he could re ceive proper treatment. Tbe colored lady rkipred out, but waa overtaken at Paw Paw Junction, when she was brought back to the city, and is now counting the grates in the jail windows As it is a case of assanlt with intent to kill, Miss Johnson will evidently have a hard time keeping out of the pen. Tbe assaulted party was in a very precarious condition at an early hour this morning, and is liable to cease breahicg, a move that would be very commendable oa his part.

American AgrlcultunsLl Every family occupying a dwelling, in country or village, and nearly every city resident, can have and should have at leat one grapevine growing, not ouly to "sit under," but to eat the fruit of. Wherever there is, within reach of some suoshice, a bit of ground a foot or two wide and three or more feet long, there a vine may be -planted, acd trained fcr a longdistance, on a lecce, up tbe dwelling, on a trellis, or up a poet. Its abundant green foliago is at ways grateful to the eye, especially among cily walls, acd its clusters of cooling, pleas ant fruit needs no advocate. The grape vine is one of the most uncomplaining, uu fastidious acd care-rewarding of plants. TREES.
