Lauderuale, epartment of the Missouri, and Assistant Surgeon J. A. Fitzgerald, department of the Columbia, will report in person to the presi- dent of the army medical board, in .ession in New York city, for examination for promo: tion. Leave of absence for one year, with per- mission to £° oe the sea, is granted Sur- geon B. J. 8. Irwin, U.S. A. TRADE BETWEEN SIAM AND THE UNITED STaTEs.—D. B. Sickels, U. 5. consul at Bang- kok, Siam, reports to the Department of State that he has induced several parties in Siam to erder goods from New York, Boston and San Francisco instead of from Europe. He believes that considerable dir-ct trade can be carried on between Siam and the United States. He enumerates a large number of articles that would find a ready sale in that country. Among them we find ale. agricultural imple- ments, bacon, boots and shoes,candiles, canned meats, cheese, clocks, fire arms, flour, hard, ware, ink, jewelry, kerosene, milk condensed pianos, plated ware, sewing machines, sta- Uionery, steam fire engines, stc2] and iron, washing machines, whips, woolen goods, and Yankee notions. TRE Coat MINES OF ScoTLAND.—John T. Robeson, U. 8. Consul at Leith, Scotland, ina supplementary dispatch to the Department of Siate, reports quite fully the condition of labor in the coal mines. These minesare situated on the estates of large land ewners, and are leased to parties, usually for a term of thirtys five years, at the rate of I8centsperton. At the pit head the coal sells for $1.65 per ton, seiding @ profit of 54 cents a ton to the lessee. Dealers purchasing at the pit make enormous rofits on their sales, obtaining $3.72 a ton irom the consumers, yielding a profit of 84 cents, net. The miners are paid by the ton, turning out on an average 5 tons sper day, a. about 28 cents per ton, equal to %.: Tr week. In 1873 the price of coal was very high, and the wages paid to miners avera; 15 per week. The profits to the owners or lessees of the mines were applied to the extension of their works, and to the miners were swallowed up in extravagancies. Overcrowding of laborers finally reduced these price: A Lasok INQUIRY IN FRANCE.—A sena- torial committee of eighteen members has re- cently been engaged in investigating the tion in the labor and trade of France. 6 American manufactures, Particularly of watches, it is alleged, have supplanted the French. LaBoR AND WAGES IN La ROCHELLE, FRaNcE.—George L. Catlin, U.S. commercial agent at La Rochelle, France, reports to the Department of State many interesting facts in regard to labor and trade in that part of France. The Laie 60 to % cents per day, of the agricultural laborer will, in Seon: buy 25 per cent. more of the necessaries of iife than the same wages will procure in the cities. The steady increase of wealth and prosperity in the rural districts of France is quite appa- rent. No tramps infest those districts. Good wages, a demand for labor, and productive in- dustry are the noticeable features of the coun- try. This prosperity might be greatly increased by the use of American eens of hus- bandry. The laborious rural Gaul still clings to the two-wheeled plough and the ancient tools of his ancestors. The railways pay small Wages, but allow bounties for so many years service, paying Wages during sickness, providing physicians and medicine to the when sick and dis* bled. No strikes are known and a good feeling exists between employer and employed. The wa; of the men have not increased perceptibly since 1873; neither have the ig of mechanics advanced since that date. The grain crops and the supplies of meat and vegetables have been so equabie that no increase in the cost of living is noticed. The brandy trade of Cognac has suffered of late. Fuily one-half of the area formerly planted with grapevines is now devoted to wheat, a less profitable but more certain pro duction than wine or brandy. The fear of the Favages of PhyUozera is the chief cause of indonment of vine growing. methods of exterminating this pest are being tried, the results of which are in the future.; WINE AND WHEAT IN PORTUGAL. — Benja- min Moran, Charge d’Affairs at Lisbon, Portugal, .informs the Department of State that the prospects of the grape and wine cro} are 1 in the north of Portugal, while the wheat crop is quite satisfactory. The prices of wines is constantly advancing owing to the increasing demands from other of Europe. The ravages of the Phyl- xera not only threatens the destruction of the grape, but aiso of the vines. The domes- tie consumption of wine is very great in Portugal, any diminution of production affects alike the producers and the 33 Wine, with the latter, takes the place of meat. Large quantities of wine are exported to Bor ux, Where it is used to strengthen th claret and other wines of that district. Th brandy used for a similar purpose, has In- ere in price in the sout portions o —_ re it is chiefly made. Notwith- stand! —o large supply of wheat and othe: cereals in Portugal, the flour and wheat of America will be in demand. ‘WAGEs IN ENGLAND.—Lucius Fairchild, late U.S. Consul at Liverpool, sends to the De- partment of State some carefully prepared statistics of wages in England. In Cheshire the average wages of farm laborers are 15 shillings a week, and have been the same for five years | These wages are, however, only relative, as very much depends upon as and beer in harve og, were diamiseed.

A SUBJECT OF ooh ed BY THE CABI At the Cabinet meeting this afternoon, the prevalence of the yellow fever in the south was made a topic of discussion,and much sympathy for the sufferers expressed by all the members present. The question also arose whether it would not be proper for the government to furnish mai aid to the sufferers in the way of provisions if the epidemic should con- tinue to spread. The condition at present was not thought Gaon dangerous for such @ course to be adopted. The action of Secretary McCrary in furnishing tents, etc., at Memphis was commented on, and it was the general opinion that wherever aid in this form could be given it should be freely furnished by the government to such an extent as was possible. THE PANIC AT MEMPHIS. Commissioner Raum to-day received the fol- lowing telegram from K. L. Patterson, collector at Memphis, Tenn.: Yellow fever increasing rapidly. People demoralized and fleeing from the city. Will remove office to Brownsville to-morrow ; address there. The Second Assistant Postmaster Genera! has received information_by telegraph from b peviger Tenn., that the Memphis and Little Rock railroad has stopped running, and that no mails are going out or arrivin: CIRCULAR FROM THE SURGEON GENERAL. Ina circular issued this afternoon Surgeon General Woodworth, of the marine hospital service, says that medical officers of that ser- vice are required to assist the civil health au- thorities in all proper and practicable ways, when requested to do so. The circular also contains some valuable information as to the cause, treatment, &e., of the disease and the enforcing of quarantine regulations. FUMIGATION OF MAILS. Tm a communication yesterday to Surgeon General Barnes, the Post Ollice department asks this officer if he can suggest some scien- tifie way of fumigating the mails, by which all danger of the transmission of yellow fever or other similar diseases can be avoided. It is expected that an early reply will be received. THERE BEING NO APPROPRIATION to the eredit of the pay department of the army tor postage on letters and packages received and sent by officers on public service, Secretary McCrary has directed that the oficial stamps be used instead. Ofticers will be furnished with these stalnps by requisition on the adju. tant general. ThE KEEPERS OF Lire SAv STaTIoNs are, by a recent bill passed by Congress, made inspectors of customs. As such, the Treasury departn ent directs that they prevent, as far as vossible, smuggling, and seize all goods ascer- ained to have been s.vlen from wrecks, and report such seizure to the department. TIMBER LAND SURVEYS.—Tne Commissioner of the General Lind Oitice yesterday author- ized a third surveying party to be put iu the field to identify lands in Mis. issippi trom which public timber has been cut and re- moved, thus to furnish testimony to sustain the pending indictments in the U courts in Miis-issippi against parties who have tres. pes:ed upon public lands. The first surveying party has been at work about a month, ani the second was authorized a few days azo. These surveys are made in conformity with the suggestions of Chief Clerk U. J. Baxter, in the report which he handed in after his return from a tour of inspection through the parts of the southern states where timber depredations have been committed. Tue WyOMING.—The Chief Signal Officer is informed to-day that the Wyoming was spoken twelve miles e. s. e. of Cape Henlope: fifty-two days from Southampton, for Wash: ington. A MUSEUM OF CERAMI — The porcelain trade of France feels the general prostration of trade less than any other industry, writes Commercial Agent Catlin, to the State de- partment. The interest taken in ceramics by Americans is one cause of the prosperous cor dition of the manufacture. Large ordess have Tr zently been receivea trom the United states giving much encouragement to the manu: turers at Limoges. In ‘iat city there is a “Museum of Ceramic: ,”¢ontaining a rare co)- lection of pottery from au nations, except the United States. The art committee will gladly receive any specimens that American manu facturers may contribute, who will thus secure a@ permanent exhibition of their wares in on» of the finest collections of the world and at the chief center of ceranics.

Houk, ex-cireuit judge under whlow’s administration, was nominated by the republicans for Congress from the second Tennessee district. ....The democrats of the sixth Iowa district yoseeraay ssed a resolution declaring it inexpedient to nomi- nate a candidate.

The amateur single scull race for the New England championship was won by Holmes, of Pawtucket: in the amateur six-oared race the Narragansett crew came in first. The pro- fessionai single scu!l contest was very exciting, ending in the success of Frenchy Jolinson over four competitors, including Courtney, who was taked sick and abandoned the race. The four- oared working boat race was wou by the Lakeman cre HARBORING EscarEp Fema.e Convicts — A petal dispatch, dated yesterday, to the Baluimore Sun from Richmond, Va., says: H.

C., announces the anging of Alex.

He said he was promised the naval office. Kellogg aud I considered the count of votes finished before it was begun.

Anderson and 1 Knew this and kept quiet. 1 moet it would be up-hill work to expose 8. frau BULLDOZERS WERE NUMEROUS and would shoot a white man or black man to getomfice. E.C. Butler, Anderson’s clerk, was one of these. They and their acts were per- fect godsends to the republican paity. War- moth told witness confidentialiy that the Louisiana carpet-baggers are a beiter class of men than those who denounce them, an! “that these visiting statesmen who are down here area lot of old frauds, and have come down here to steal the state and will steal it, too.” Anderson told me that he had told Kel- lozg thathe would count in Nash, and that Kellogg told him to make out cases of intimi- dation in several parishes. GEN. BUTLER TAKES THE WITNESS IN HAND. Here General Butler took the witness in band for cross.examination. Witness, in re y 0 questions, stated that Anderson never howed him a copy of the protest in Kast Fe- jana, but simply told him that he had made it. Mr. Sherman was the only one of the statesmen witness remembered ; the others he did not think amounted to anything. Witness had seen Sherman before he had seen his name to the letter. Witness refused to be intro. duced to the visiting statesmen becauce he feared their seductive influence. “ After An- der.on got the Sherman letter he began to withdraw his confidence from me,” said wit- S “I remember,” said witness, “that An- ‘alled on me and said he had some ver from Sherman, and that in a ave afterward he called again in showed me the letter.” ON OF LOUISIANA POL(EICIA ted that he intimate: ith all the MR. ac oliticians of Louisiana, (oaemcnes ey Were the most coim- he ever met. turning board, was the honestest of the Witness was then questioned as to his standard of honesty, and, becoming a little an. fe atthe manner of the questiouing, said i he € proposed answeting when, where and how @ chose. Witness complained that he was not allowed to make a full statement of his record to the cominittee. Mr. Potter said they only wanted his testimony. The Yellow Fever Scourge. INCREASE OF THE DISEASE AT MEMPUIS. Twenty-seven new cases of yellow fever oc- curred at Memphis yesterday, with six deaths. The collector aud postmaster have made ap- plicauon to the government for tents and fations, so as to remove the poor people in- habiting the infected sections of the city into the country. Secretary McCrary has respond- ed favorably to the appeal. NEW ORLEANS DEATH LIST. The yellow fever record at New Orleans yesterday included seventeen fatalities and ninety-eight new cases. Cairo is reported healthy, with strict quarantine regulations, forbidding the entrance to the city of express messengers aud other train employes from the infected districts. mi Hines, of New Orleans, who has been sick of yellow fever at Cincinnati, left the hospital yest 2rday entirely recovered. He is bound for New York. The tugboat John D. Porter, from New Orleans, with several cases of fever on board, was stop pcd at the quarantine below Cincinnati yes- lerday.

ATTACK ON A YOUNG GIRL.—The Baltimore police are looking for Chas 8. Banks. 5 feet 10 or 11 inches high, dark hair and moustache and side whiskers, about 2 or 30 years old, for a brutal assault upon a young girl, the daughter of Wm. L. Sauner, | proprietor of the hotel at Churchville, on the | line of the Philadelphia, Wilmington and Bal- | ore railroad, in Harford county, Md. Mr. Sauner was sitting on the front porch of his hotel about 7 o'clock Wednesday evening when he heard his daughter screaming loud! in the upper hall. Running up stairs he foun her struggling in the grasp of Banks, who fied aS soon as he saw the girl's father. Mr. Sauner hastened toa room and taking a double-bar- rel shot gun from a rack started in pursuit of Casanave, of | Banks, who had made considerable headway while he was loading the gun. Finding that he would be unable to overtake him, Mr. Sau- ner halted and tired and he thinks succeeded in giving Banks the full load in the back. He escaped, however, and has not been seen since. Banks’ real name is Samuel S. Banks. a c.r- riage maker, and he is very dissipated. Curing KEARNEY ADKIFT.—Mr. Kearney is unfortunat Some of the papers are ad- vising him to “Go West ;" and now come Gen- eral Butler and General Schwab, and both cut him adrift. Mr. Schwab thinks Kearney not much better than a politician. “I had been led to believe that he would devote his atten- tion to the interests of the workingmen when he came East ; but it seems he is training with Butler, says the great communist. General Butler, on his part. will have nothing to do with Kearney either. idering that Kear- ney “can afford only two shirt collars per week,” as he remarked the other evening in a ublic speech, this is rather hard on him.— ; N.Y. Herald. PLAIN TALK FoR KEARNEY.—The Boston Piiot, the well-known Roman Catholic jour. nal, addressed a pointed article to Kearney, in which it sa: Remember, Kearney, it isno enemy who speaks. Every word we say here will reach the eyes or ears of a million’ work- ingmen. {fn their name, for their interests, we condemn your intemperate course. You commit a crime when your furious aud blind utterances hold up the cause of labor to pub- lie derision. THE WILL.

MATCH took place in the Delaware, near Philadelphia, yester- day, between D. Butler, of Philadelphia, and Robert Ward, of New York, for $200 a side and the championship. The course was from Five-mile Point to Smith’s Island. Both men jumped into the river at 4:30 p. m., and swam. with the tide. Butler took the lead at once, maintaining it to the end, beating his com: fe} ¢ petitor about half a mile and coming in ten minutes ahead of hii Gen. JoE.

In order to tell, it is necessary to mention something about surrounding cir- cumstances. which, as we all well kuow, have eveiything to do with our seps..tions, wnether we go up ina balloon or down in a coal mine, or to the sewers and catacombs. Well, the circumstances were so pleasant that no one should miss supplying himself with similar ones to go on so pleasant a journey. The as- cension took place on the 29th of July, and the party proper consisted of thirty-six per- Sons, two of whom were balloon officials, the o‘hers mere mortals who were eager to leave this earth. Fifteen among them came from the New World, ago two whose great sing- inz propensities would naturally draw them to their feathered colleagues. Boston, Washing- ton, New York had their share of represen- tation, and the upper regions seemed not a little restless at the foreiga exciainations which had come to disturb the native air. The sensation was so new to Henny all present bat it was easy to see how pleasantly it affected them ; it seemed as if everybody was glad to be suftieiently far from the busy world below to see it without beingin it. What a relief the distance between those below and us afforded to the resting mind! The first idea pervading us after we felt somewhat set- Hed in our new position was the indescribably beautiful view. 3 No one has seen Paris and is so impressed with its imposing dimensions, who has not been up in Gilfard’s balloon. The city authori- ties, when they granted the balloon company the use of that location, well knew that the site an the Champ de Mars which had beer cbosen for the “ballon captif” of 1867, was too far from the city center for such a purpose. The highest distance from the earth reached by us Was jittle over one thousand feet, which to many will seem buta short hele constant swaying of the balloon rend feeling very diferent and more int from what it would have been on ahi tain with solid ground under foot. little that is really new to usin these days Expositions, fine cities, entertainments kinds, they resemble each other, but a ba ascension is something so charmingly novel, that to miss going up in it would be a mistak perhaps difl.cult to repair.

Dye’s pian for realizing on the estate of Tullis was to compound with his creditors. His legitimate commission would have been about $5,20. Dye has always borne a good reputation, but parties now coming forward irm that he was a bushwhacker during the war, and pillaced and murdered indiscriminately.

To-day some of them were express- ing themselves freely to that eflect. They do not like the progress of the “national” state organizations, as in Pennsylvania epee as that implies a determination on the part of the greenbackers to go to work more sys- tematically than heretofore, with business methods as likely to be effective as those adopted by either of the old parties. Hence the democratic journals have received a quiet notification to “let up a little on Deanis Kearney,” and totreatthe movement he i¢ advocatine “as tenderly as possible,” as a matter of policy—for the present. There is ood reason also for saying that Mr. Senator Gonklin $ Managers are getting a little ua~ easy on the subject, and in order to placate the new element they are seriously proposing that he should come out, say in ao auti-Chinese speech, a la Butler. If he does not do this ey are afraid that several of the assembly districts will be lost to him, and that will pre= vent his re-election to the Senate. Mr. Conk< ling, however, is a very Wary politician, and he Will be very careful how he commiis him« self to a line of action which will be quite ad likely to make him as many enemiesasfriendse In this exigency his policy will probably be ta ¢.eate the impression that he is going to maker some such speech, but it is pretty safe toasseru that the speech itself will never be made. New York politics, thus, for the time being, are in a very chaotic state, and if the “aatiou- als” are careful it is vuite within the bounds of possibility that they will hold, at least, the balance of power in November.
