Lonpon, Nov. 13, 1878. A despatch to the Standard from Rome reports that the Right Rev. Mgr. McCabe, Bishop of Godara and coadjutor to the late Cardinal, has been se- lected to sueceed to the archbishopric and will probably be made Cardinal, Dr. McCabe has been for a long time associated with the Archdiocese of Dublin and is very popular with both priests and people. Hé first attracted attention when parish priest in St. Nicholas Parish, situated in that part of Dublin, known as ‘I'he Liberty,” for his success” ful exertions to reclaim the rough element which is very numerous in that neighborhood. He was thence transferred to the important parish of Kingstown, where he gained still further distinction. A short time ago he was appointed Bishop of Godara and Coadjutor Bishop of Dublin, and the ap- Pointment was received with satisfaction by all classes of the community. Dr. MeCabe has throngh- out his long ministry carefally abstained from, inter- ference in politics, and was a marked contrast to the late Cardinal in many respects. His appointment will probably tend to bring toa close along and bitter quarrel between the heads of the Catholic Church in Ireland and the Irish nationalists, MEXICO.

There was no fover at St. Thomas, and the quarantine is said to have been obtained by intrigue, by one house in St. ‘Thomas having a branch at Porto Rico, so as to pre- vent other purchasers coming to St. Thomas, thus obliging them to purchase at the branch house in Porto Rico.

It appears the knaves rendered Mr. Bannin, who is a man quite advanced in years and living alone in the’ hoube, powerless by administering chloroform to him. It ‘was not until late this morning that the crime was discovered. The neighbors found the old man’s clothes in the yard, where they had been flung by the thieves after riffing the jockets. Mr, Bannin was found lying in bed. le was then recovering from the stupor cauacd b; the chloroform, Strange to say, the pole knew nothing whatever of the affair to-night when asked for information about it by a reporter.

ANXIOUS TO CEASE DEFRAUDING THE GOVERN- MENT-~THE NOTORIOUS MORGAN AFRAID THE BEVENUE OFFICERS WILL KILL HIM. [BY TELEGRAPH TO THE HERALD.] NasHVILLE, Tenn., Nov. 12, 1878, Revenue Agent Jacob Wagner passed through here to-day from Jackson county for New York, where he has been summoaed by telegraph as a witness in some tobacco fraud cases. While in Jackson he visited undera truce the notorious illicit distiller Campbell Morgan, who commanded the wildcat forces in the Peek fight of August 24, 25 and 26, and found him. among the hilla and hollows of Roaring River. He told Wagver he was anxious to give himself up, and would do #0 if assured he would not be prosecuted on account of the Peek fight. He had quit illicit dis- tilling, and said he did not intend to do any more shooting, but would just keep out of the way of the revenue raidcrs. Ho claimed to have been waylaid and watched ‘in the hills, and did not feel safe anywhere. He was afraid’ Special Deputy Davis in- tended killing him on sight. He exhibited letters pur- porting to como from Davis to that effect. These let- ters are said to be forgeries and written to Morgan by some designing person, with an evident desire to keep Morgan in terror and at all times ready for defensive operations. . Davis assured Morgan, through his father, that he did not intend to harm him in the least; that he hada warrant for his arrest, and, if taken, he would treat him as he wouldany other pris- oner; that the letters and stories told him to theetlect that he intended killing him were false.

Leading citizens & Newport and many of the prominent summer residents are taking counsel to- gether in regard to the establishment of s eanitary protection society, to be organized at once, on the plan of a similar association in Edinburgh, Scotland, which in the past has accomplished much good. It will in no way be connected with the official Board of Health, composed of the Board of Aldermen, which has not been remarkably efficient in ite duties. The disposition of sewage is also to be attended to at once. Important papers have been prepared at the solicitation of the City Council, looking to a com- plete system of sewerage. Those complying with the official invitation include Mr. Fairman Rogers, of Philadelphia; Professors Agassiz, Gibbs and Rogers, of Harvard College; General George W. Cul- lum, United States Army; J. P. Cotton, of the United States Engineer Department; Dr. H. B. Storer and E.

[BY TELEGRAPH TO THE HERALD.] Nonwicu, Conn., Nov. 12, 1878. In the Superior Court to<lay the trial of Bishop and Mrs. Cobb was postponed until the first Tuesday in January. This needs some explanation. Originally they had been jointly indicted, but some time ago the State’ Attorney notified the counsel for the defence that Bishop would be tried first. Last Friday, how- ever, Bishop sent word to the State Attorney that he wae ready to go on the witness stand and tell the whole story; consequently the order of the trial was changed so that Mra. Cobb's trial would come on first, Defendant's counsel was surprised by this change, for which he was not . and at the of the hearing to-day moved for acontinuance until the March term of the Court. This was argued by coun- sel, State Attorney Waller opposing so long a delay, and finally the Court fixed the time as above stated. It is understood that Bishop will derive no benefit from his proposed evidence, and that his trial will be commenced immediately after the finishing of Mra, Cobb's case. VIRGINIA KNIGHTS TEMPLARS. .

Tenor of Lord Salisbury’s Reply to Secretary Evarts. A DEFENCE OF THE TRADE DOLLAR. FROM OUR REGULAR CORRESPONDENT. Wasuincron, Nov, 12, 1878. THE SOUTHERN POLIcY—‘‘A FLOP” ON THE PART OF THE PRESIDENT CLAIMED BY THE STAL- WARTS. The action of the Cabinet to-day in instructing the Attorney General to prosecute all cases in the South or elsewhere arising out of a violation of the law as to the presence of federal supervisors at the voting for Congressmen is seized upon by the “stalwarts” as evi- dence that they have converted the President to their view of the political situation. They boldly declare to-night that the President has made a “flop” and has abandoned the so-called Southern pol- iey and come over into their ranks. The visit of Messrs, Zach Chandler and Don Cameron at the White Honse this morning is claimed to be con- nected with this alleged important change in Mr. Hayes’ policy. The argument of the “stalwarts” is that, with nearly two hundred instances in the South of a violation of this law, a vigorous prosecution of the offenders by the United States law officials will make more evident than ever the incorrigible and irreconcilable character of the democratic Bourbons of that region, and prove that the solid South will be found to exist even in the jury box, whence the con- viction of an offender will never issue. This is 9 very large edifice, however, to build upon so simple & foundation as the President's determination to enforce the laws. GENERAL WASHINGTON DESPATCHES, Wasninatox, Nov. 12, 1878. LORD SALISBUEY'S RESPONSE TO SECRETARY EVARTS’ LETTER ON THE FISHIERIES QUES- TION—IMPRESSION REGARDING ITS TENOR. ‘The Secretary of State at the Cabinet meeting to-day presented several telegrams from: Minister Welsh containing the main points of Lord Salisbury’s reply to the despatches of Secretary Everts on the Canadian fishery question, but which the Secretary declines at present to make public. It is believed Mere that Lord Salisbury, in his reply to Seeretary Evarts, is as earnest in his position that the Canadian fishery award was made in accordance with the ‘Treaty of Washington as Mr. Rvarts is in maintaining an opposite view. The correspondence is not likely to be concluded by the 23d inst., when the award is due and when it will probably be paid under protest. ‘ ONE AND TWO DOLLAE UNITED STATES NOTES— STATEMENT OF SECRETARY SHERMAN—THEIR WITHDBAWAL NOT CONTEMPLATED, Secretary Sherman, referring to the rumored with- drawal of the one and two dollar United States notes, gays:— Fully a year ago the story was started in some p rT, and camsed an unnatural demand for small nil The statement was unfounded, other than thut, having one year’s supply of ones and twoson hend, the Bureau of Engraving and brary ke ce it ing any more till that supply could . Wo order was issued to the Treasurer to limit the issue of ones and twos, but they were issued to everybody who demanded them. No order has ever been made for their withdrawal. They are issued, like other money, whenever they are fon and any holder of a demand against the United States, is ordinarily paid in the denomination of money de- sired, After the Ist of Jan no bille of a lens de- nomination than $5 can be issued by national banks, and no doubt if the one and two do! United States notes were withdrawn it woul make a place for more silver. The Secretary thinks, however, that the pub- lic at :large onght to have the option to take gold, silver or paper of any denomination co: or Lech ie in the best way to secure the largest cir- ion. rc If the chief end of life was tosecure the circulation of silver money it might be forced into circulation by withdrawing the ones and twos; but the Secretary does not see why the people should be denied the use of such notes if they want them, nor why silver money should be made unpopoler by being forced into circulation to the exclusion of more convenient money. THE TRADE. DOLLAB—THE DIRECTOR OF THE MINT ON THE ADVANTAGES OF THE COIN. The Director of the Mint devotes a considerable portion of his fortheoming annual report to the sub- ject of the trade dollar. He states that wherever they have been introduced in China they have met with a favorable reception, and continne to grow in es- timation. He considers it a satisfactorily established fact that the trade dollar has proved beneficial to the Chinese, to the American merchant and to the pro- ducer of silver. He says it has benefitted the Chinese by giving them a coin of more uniform fineness and valuo and of better execution than any ¢ther current in their country. It has proved advantageous to the American merchant by furnishing him acoin mere acceptable to his foreign customers and at a cheaper rate to him- self, and the prodncer of silver has not only obtained # better price for his silver, but an increased demand for the same has been created. Since their coinage was authorized 35,959,360 trade dollars have been coined, and 25,703,950 have been exported, leaving a balance of 10,255,410, some of which the Chinese have taken home. It is estimated that during the past five years 5,000,000 have been thus disposed of. Five and a quarter millions are held by California banks, or circulated ag money, except about $106,000 melted at the mints. The principal portion of trade dollars now in circulation were coined since they wero deprived of their limited legal tender quality, and they were manufactured for depositors, with the under- standing that they were to be exported and not placed in domestic circulation, It was also understood that they had been deprived of their limited legal tender character (to the extent of $5) by the act of July 22, 1873. The goverament, having re ceived nothing whatever for executing these coins ex- cept the actual expense of coinage, is in no degree responsible for their redemption, To give them a legal tender character would result in bringing back large amounts from other countries. By making them a legal tender or redeeming them in legal tender money the purposes of the act authorizing their coin- age would be practically destroyed. All efforts to induce the Chinese government to establish @ mint seom to have failed and that Empire mast dapend on foreign coinc, the use of which has been gradually increasing for some years past. It will be to our advantage to fur- nish these coins, so far as we can, without detriment to our money system, and, the trade dollar having found a favorable position in Chitfa, it would not be advisable to repeal the law authorizing its coinage. ‘The Secretary of the Treasury possesses the power under existing laws to restrict this coinage to the actual export demand. Silver is the money standard of Oriental nations, and the extent of our silver pro- ducing territory justifies the belief that our produe- tion, together with the silver that our trade will naturally command from Mexico and South America, will soon be in excess of any probable demand for our coinage purposes, and we must look to China princi- pally for a market for our surplus. POSTAL MATTERS—-ANNUAL REPORT OF THE sU- PERINTENDENT OF THE BATLWAY MAIL SUR- VICR—REGISTERED LETTERS. ‘The annual report of the General Superintendent of the Railway Mail Service shows that the number of pieces of mail matter distributed by the postal railway clerks during tho fiscal year ended June 90 ‘was 2,216,090,650, and the number of errors 626,662, or 3,540 were distributed to each error—an improve- ment over the previous year, when ‘the missent wae one in every 2,000, It is recommended that pay for s certain period abould be allowed for a!) killed in the service. and pen- sions for all injured, in proportion to the extent of theirinjuries, Hardly a week passes but some employs is killed or xusianed or otherwise injured in railway accidents, and for this there is no compensation. Recommendation is renewed that a small sum, 8a¥ $500, be appropriated for experiment in light, a8 it is becoming more and more essential each year that some more improved method of lighting postal cars be adopted. rom other official data, prepared for the fortheom- ing report of the Postmaster General, it appears that the total number of registered letters and packages mailed during the year was 4,93#,404, The amount of fees collected was $414,999, and an increase over the preceding year of $47,560. The losses during the year were less than one-fiftieth of one per cent of the number of letters and packages transmitted. ‘The registry system was extended October 1 to, mail matter of the third class, and it is evident that the ex- tension has supplicd a great popular want and will result béneficially to the postal revenues, ‘There has been no material change in the amount of dead letter matter received or in the mode of its treatment since the last annual report. The whole number of letters and parcels received was 3,186,805, a dally average of 10,181, There was deposited in the Treasury $8,937, accruing from letters undelivered, THE TAX ON TOBACCO, Commissioner Kaum, in his forthcoming annual report, will oppose the proposed reduction of the tax on tobacco—from twenty-four to eighteen cents per pound—for two reasons:—First, because in the pres- ent low stule of the revenue from this source the money c@uld not be spared, and secondly because he considers it extremely unwise and inexpedient to un- settle business interests by any Congressional agita- tion of the question.

Minwavger, Nov. 12, 1878. Indge Dyer, of the United States Court, to-day rendered an important decision in the “Trade Mark” case of Leidersdorff & Co., tobacconists, to enjoin Flint & Oo. from the use of certain labels, The defendants demurred, and held that the court had no jurisdiction. This raised the question of the constitutional power of Congress to legislate upon the subject. It was decided that the constitutionality of the trade mark statute cannot be sustained under the clause which gives to Congress the power to - late commerce among the several States, nor under any other of the provisions of the constitution which prescribe the legislative power of Congress, The Court, therefore, held that it had no jurisdiction to entertain a controversy between citizens of the same State and sustained the demurrer. .
