There were 40,037 deaths from small pda m uie united Mates last year, ac cording to the National Board of Health bulletin of January 21. Reports were only received, however, from six ty-six cities and towns.

It is making wondei 'ul mate rial progress. The new ordei of things is principally due to American intlu euce. iewmrncy tna enterprising yanke-s have leavem-d the wnole lump or Mexican disorder. ho extensively are the Irish people availing themselves of the Gladstone land act, that, unless the number of sub-commissioners are increased, there will be steady work for them for about thirty years to come. In Cork county aione mere are two thousand cases to be tried ; in all Ireland the estimate is seventy thousand cases. it 13 stated that it costs 8200,0.0 per year to maintain a force at Castle Gar aen to take charge of the immigrants that land in New York. Hence the burden created by Judge Blatchford's decision, and the appeal to CoDgress lor relief. Joseph Arch, the English agitator, declares that "rack-renting" has not been confined to Ireland. He asserts that between the years 1S57 and 1875 the rentals of the farmers of England were increased to the enormous extent of 9,000,000. English papers admit that this statement is substantially true. Most or the towns and cities in the North and West have resolved upon a reform in the manner of treating the tramps during the coming summer. No tramp, unless guilty of a crime, will be imprisoned or put in a lockup. He will De lur rushed with a certain amount of work, and forced to do it, and at the same time he will be provided with food, a certain amount of fair pay ; and when this amounts to enough to defray the expense of his traveling forward, he will be sent off. It is probably not generally known in this country that the great city of London, the pivot of a trade amount ing to 5,000,000,000 annually, and whose exports and imports foot up $3,500,000,- 000, has never had a chamber of com merce until very recently. The new organization met for the first time two weeks ago, when Mr. Magniac, the president, presented a budget of colos sal statistics embracing those above stated. ' A country must be pretty well-to-do that can buy between eight and nine millions worth of diamonds and pre cious atones per annum. The importa tion into the United States has now reached that magnitude, against less than two millions and a half per annum ten years ago. The fact is significant as showing not only the increase of the national wealth, but also the develop ment of luxtfrious tastes on the part of the people. The Wilmington Star says of Senator Vance's speech on the tariff: We do not think a speech equal to it of its kind has been delivered in Congress since the days of Tom Corwin, of Ohio, whom Senator Vance resembles very much in the structure of his mind and manifold gifts, according to the testi mony of ex-Senator Tipton. We would not exaggerate its excellence, but read ing it as a whole we were charmed with it. To us at least it is a great speech. fcltANT RETIRED. henator Losran's bill to retire Gen. Grant has passed the Senate, and will also pass the House. Among the amend ments offered was one by Bayard pro- I viding that when a resident was elect ed ana served a second tine la.it the proposed life pension of one-fourth the salary of the office should not be ex tended to hl-m. This was a move evi dently in the direction of a one-term, but it didn't seem to take, as it fell inrougn wiinuuc mucn ceremony or discussion. It seems to us that there is scrambling enough now over the presi dency without offering the additional inducement of a life pension of $12,500 per annum to every man who is lucky enough to be elected to that position. "Wonder what Sherman thinks of pen sionmg uranc as tne union savior, while he was anarching into the vitals of the Confederacy and doing the work that made the capture of Lee's army possible? But as Sherman is provided for he will not probably worry himself much over the glory side of the ques tion. From the way this pension business is running, and the remarkable liberal! ty of the gentlemen in Congress, the probabilities are that the people for the next generation at least will have about all they care to pay in that line. JNew England congressmen express 'disgust over the loss of two Congress men in that section through the appor tionment bill which has been passed by the House. The Middle States gain three, the Western States fifteen, Pacific States two and the Southern Stares four teen. A Card. To the Editor of the Observer.

Yesterday forenoon a citizen who was hurried and angry entered a grocery store on Antoine street and called out to the owner: "Why in the do vou keep a dog around here to eat folks up?" "Did my dog eat you oop?" was the innocent query in reply. "Not quite, but he tore my coat half off my back, and you've got to pav for it!" How much ?" Well, it will cost as much as 82 to get it repaired. You'll either pay it or I'll have the dog shot!" "Oh, I'll pay dot," said the grocer, and he did, but the man hardly got out of sight before he jumped a foot hijh and jelled out: "Dunder und blitzen, but I vhas der greatest shackas in America' Why, I sens dot uog to my lader-m-law more as six weeks ago!"

THE SENATE APPROPRIATES $100,000 TO THE RELIEF OF THE MISSISSIPPI FLOOD VIC TIMS AND PASSES THE BILL TO RETIRE GEN. GRANT. The House Discusses Amendments to the Postoffice Appropriation Bill, to Prevent Subletting of Contracts, and Passes the Senate Bill to Appropriating $100,000 to the Relief of the Flood ctims. Washington, Feb. 22. Senate. Allison, from the appropriation com mittee reported with amendments the immediate deficiency bill and gave notice he would call up the same at 1. 30 o'clock to-morrow. Harris presented a memorial of the Memphis Cotton Exchange upon dan ger to the river front of Memphis from the encroachments of the Mississippi. George introduced a joint resolution authorizing the secretary of war to is sue rations for the relief of the labor ing classes in the district overilowed by the Mississippi river which was read as, also, a telegram from Governor Low eryof Mississippi, urging immediate measures of relief, and representing the destruction of property and stock as im mense, and starvation imminent, as the overflowed district comprises the best portion of Mississippi and white and black are suffering alike. George as explanatory of the magni tude of the disaster said the distsict in undated embraced all of the Mississippi belt between Memphis and Vicksburg, about 150 miles in length and 40 in breadth. This entire area was now un der water, or would be in a short time. Four-fifths of its population is compos ed of colored laborers who have not the means of support during the period for which this overflow will interrupt la bor. Ingalls inquired as to the estimated number of laborers rendered destitute. George thought it would range from 50,000 to 75,000. He added that the overflow in that section of the Missis sippi bottom generally continued from four to six weeks, and pending the sub sidence of the water, there is a total suspension of labor. He had confined his remarks to the desolation in Missis sippi. Contiguous districts of the west ern banks of the rivers in Arkansas were-also suffering. Garland spoke of the widespread des olation in Arkansas by the overflow as absolutely appalling and unprecedented. It had swept away the barns, granaries and stock of the farmers. lie urged prompt action in extending relief, though he was not prepared to say what form or measures of relief should be taken. Hampton explained that a part of the valley under water was the most pro ductive and the finest cotton growing country in Mississippi. If the water extended from the Yazoo hills on one side and the Arkansas bluffs on the other, and if the river was as high as despatches this morning reported there would be hardly any land within a strip of 150 miles in width above over flow. ' The destruction, not only of stock, but of incoming crops would be so grat, in his opinion, that he had no hesitation in saying that the despatch from the Governor of Mississippi gave but a faint idea of the destitution and starvation that would follow. Alii- on (Iowa) suggested in view of the desirableness of prompt action ref erence of the subject to the military committee which should consult with the Secretary of War upon the provi sions for issuing and transporting ra tions to the points at which they are most needeJ. If the sufferers were to be relieved by the United States, the Government relief could only be ex tended through the Secretary of War, and he thought it would be found that this relief was demanded n t only as to the Mississippi valley, but those of sev eral of its tributaries. The puggpstion of Allison being ac ceptabie to George, v. was agreed to and reference to the military committee or dered. The Senate then took up the calendar ana bills were passed to authorize the secretary of War to sell the military DarracKs ana lands upon which thev are located in Savannah, aud permitting tne united states treasurer to pay con gressional salaries, etc., in a contin gency such as that which arose in the death of the late becretary of the Sen ate. Ihe Senate bill to amend section 2,133 of the revised statutes relating to rnaian traaers, wnich prohibits any person other than an Indian from trad ing on any Indian reservation without a license, but specially excepts traders with the five civilized tribes in the In dian Territory, was laid aside as un finished business. The Grant retirement bill was taken up, and Bayard moved to amend bv substituting therefor a provision to pay to every President of the United States who shall have served, or mav here after serve in said office, and who shall l. : i r iL. uave itjureu irom tne same, a sum an nually during his life, equal to one- tourth part ot the annual presidential salary, but this not to be paid in case of a second presidential term. After a long debate, Bayard's amend ment was rejected yeas 5. navs 51. An amendment by Sherman prevailed without discussion making the pro- poseu retirement additional to the num ber authorized by law. The bill then passed ayes 35, nays 17. Brown, Call, Davis, of Illinois, Jones, of Florida, and Ransom, voted yea with the Republicans. Otherwise the vote was a party one. The bill authorizes the President, in recognitian of the eminent public ser vices of Ulysses S. Grant, late general of the army, to nominate, and by and with the advice and consent of the Senate, to appoint him to the army with the rank and grade of general, to be placed on the retired list with pay accordingly. Logan reported back from the mili tary committee a joint resolution intro duced earlier in the day by George, to provide reliet on account of the over flow of the Mississippi with amend ments in the nature of a substitute. Ihe joint resolution was at once taken up, the substitute adopted and at once passed without debate. It amro- -4riates $100,000, to be used by the Sec retary or war in the purchase and dis tribution of subsistence stores for the relief of -destitute persons in the dis trict overflowed by the Mississippi and its tributaries, and authorizes the secre tary to co-oprate with the authorities of the several States of which such dis trict is part, in making distribution of the same. As reported the measure provided this relief for the laboring classes, but upon the suggestions of Hoar and Sherman a change was made as stated. The executive session. Adjourned. House. Chalmers, of Mississippi, sent to the clerk's desk and had read a telegram from Whitman county. Miss., stating that the Mississippi river has overnown at mac pointjand that thous ands of colored persons aria starving and asking for assistance. Hetbfin in troduced and asked for the immediate i consideration of a joint resolution authorizing the President to issue tern porary supplies of ood and army cloth ing sufficient to prevent starvation and suffering of destitute persons living on or near the lower Mississippi River, who have been rendered so by reason of the present overflow of that river. Marsh, of Illinois, saw no reason why assistance should be confined to per sons living on the lower Mississippi. an4 on suggestion of Kasson, of Iowa, the resolution was referred to the commit tee on -military affairs with leave to re port at any time. j The House then at 12 :4n Gommittee of the whole, Calkins, of In diana, in the chair, on the postoffice ap propriation bill. Holman's amendment, offered Tues day, providing for the substitution of sub-contractor for the original bidder whenever it shall be ascertained that a contract is sublet at less than the origi nal price was under consideration. Bland's substitute, providing for the subletting of contracts, was ruled out on a point of order. Holman accepted Atkin's amend ment offered Tuesday as part of his amendment. Several other amendments and sub stitutes were presented and rejected or ruled out. In the course of the long discussion which followed, Holman's amendment as amended by Atkins, was passed 99 to 83. Atkins offered .an amendment pro viding that when a contract is declared void on account of having been sublet, the contractor shall not be entitled to one month's extra pay as now provided by law. Adopted. Several amendments increasing the amounts appropriated in various divi sions of the postal service were voted down. Pending action on the bill the com mitteee rose. A number of petitions were present ed by different members asking the re peal of the tax on bank deposits and on checks and drafts. On motion of King, of Louisiana, the Senate joint resolution appropriating one hundred thousand dollars to enable the Secretary of W ar to issue rations for the relief of destitute persons in the district overflowed by the Mississippi River, was taken from the Speaker's table and passed. The House then, at 5 o'clock, took a recess until 7:30, the evening session to be for the consideration of the District of Columbia code bill.
