whether the people of tho South were

“They feel very kind toward the

them from bayonet rule, entities him

who were attracted by a woman's
screams burst open the door of a
tenement at 1818 Second avenue,
yesterday afternoon, and found a
woman wringing her hands and
weeping as she paced uervrusly back
and forth past the body of an un

The woman was Mrs. Ellen Sulli

Hie political confest in thia dis

upofi us the rebnke and derision of
all honest Democrats in the State.
The adjournment of the Columbus
Contention without a nomination
was n disgrace to the Democratic
party of this district, and should be
a death-blow to the candidate who
caused it'. 'iTn opponents of Mr.
f'a'ris went iato that Convention,
| not with the solo pnrpomi of defeat
i ing that gentleman,but they went in
I desiring a change and believing that
t the interests of the party and their
J constituents demanded jt. They
i nre willing fo harmonize, (avid are
! willing to-day,) on any good and
lineman m the District. In proof
of this, they ottered Mr. Harris
friends the nemo of Judge M. J.
Crawford, Judge Hugh Buchanan,
Hon. A H. Cox, Hon. Samson W.
Harris,. Hon. Obediah Warner, and
Col. Edgar Butt, some of whom
were Mr. Harris’ sfroug friends and
supporters,blit they woro all refused
The opposition,also, from beginning
to ending showed a spirit of concilia
tion and compromise,offering every
thing that could he considered lair.
Asa lost resort, to prevent a split
they offered the Harris rten a pri~
msry election to decide the matter,
nr.d even that was refused. No honest
impredjudfoed or fair-minded man
could object to what was offered by
the opposition to Mr. Harris’
partivnns. Every true man in the
district who will note tho facta in
the ciiae i obliged to admit that
they did what was fair.
Rut. hi. uh look nt the oilier side.
Fmni the very beginning of the
convention it was clearly evident
I that, the Harris delegates went into
: that convention representing Harris
! and no one else. They showed by
their actions that (hoy were for Har
ris abovo the party and above every
thing and every body ebe. They
wouldn't even extend to tho minori
ty ( tlie courtesy cl n temporary chair
man, which wan duo them as it mat
ter of courtesy. A partisan chair
i man was not, only appointed but, ho
j was allowed to appoint u partiieui
I ('ommlttteo on tho Carroll county
! question. There were two deleg.a
--' (ions from Carroll and this commit
lee was appointed to look into their
claims. After hearing the testi
mony, the Harris part of the com
mil lee,numbering six, brought in a
report favorable to the seating of
the Harris delegates, hh a matt -r of
course; and tho other five of the
committor,comprising tlio minority
! brought in a report mid resolution
| to throw out both delegations,which
1 report was adopted, owe and two
thirds of a vote, from Mr. Harris
j friends voting with the minority.
This Carroll countv mutt""
j mear as could bo. It was distinctly
I shown before the committee that
the meeting which appointed the
several delegates, was a most disor
derly and grossly irregular nlYuir
nnd (lie minority held that both
delegations should either bo admit
ted or both should go out, ns they
Stood upon ail equal footing. The
action of the minority in this mat
ter was fair and equitable and did
not hurt Mr. Harris, or place him
farther fiom a nomination. Indeed,
his friends ought not to complain
at it. But they showed by their acts
I lint their determination was fixed
and they intended to adjourn the
convention or nominate their man.
They refused everything looking to
aoompromiso from the ofwcr party
nnd they are condemnnble before
the people. They claimed that they
represented a majority of tho Demo
cratic voters of tho District, (they
had gof one vote majority in the
convention on the closest ballots)
nnd thercfoie they were uot bound
to respect anything the minority
did. If this rule had been applied
to thoir man six years ago ho could
have never seen inside tho walls of
the National Onngrcss as our roprt
tentative.
The minority hold tlmt they have
a right to be heard and they leave
it to tho people to judge who is to
blame for all this trouble in our
District.
Collapse on a "National’' On .vn.
—The Evening National of Phila
delphia thus announces its own col
lapse; "we regret to say that with
this number of The National it s is

probably will in a day or two , lutt
never as The National. When it <l< e
appear it will be under u new name
aud different auspices. We hope and
expect that the paper will bo resus

Bi'Kiko Alive in a Swam*. — John
Hilliard, a well known New York
commission denier, and a resident
of Jersey Oky,N. J. j whilst, returning
to bis home on Thursday night,
slipped from a sidewalk which skiits
tho swamp, and fell into a quags
mire, aud before assistance could
reach him he died. When recov

to have sucked him down. The

YELLOW I EV bit
Tho Infest dispatches from Mem
phis, Nw Orleans, stiff the other
ill-fated eftios that are now being
scourged by dreadful epidem'cs
fell stories of
and death. On '/huiwday lnt there
were 99 new cases end 70 deaths
in Memphis. The same day in
Now Orleans there were 109 new
cases and G!) deaths. Giennda Miss.,
is entirely depopulated by the fever.
The telegraph operator nt last an
counts was dying with the fever,
while the corpse of his little boy
lay by un-bilried for the want of
means, The Beenes of desolation
and death are fearful. The fever in
New Orleans and Memphis is of the
! worst type and rapidly spreading.
The epidemic in the latter place is
I more terrible than that of 1873.
| All the cities nnd towns of tho
■ country are raising funds for the ro
| lief of the sufferers. New York city
has raised $40,000, snd Chicago and j
Philadelphia have raised over $lB,-
000 each. Every man who can, and
has a drop of the milk of hnmnn
kindness about him, ought to eofi
tribute sc nothing to ottr unfortu- i
nato fellows.
The weather in the infected dis-
i tricts has been very unfavorable to
the sick and dying and the disease
;is getting far beyond control.
; Latch.—For the week ending on
the 31st., lust Saturday,wo have tho
j following reports trom the infected
I district:
“New Orleans. —During tlio week
end'd yesterday noon, (here had I
I been 1,204 cutes of yellow fever, I
; 83(1 deaths,making in all 2,877 cases
and Ktt7 deaths.
Vicksburg—During the week: llfl
deaths from yellow fever, making
185 deaths iu all, 87 of which oc
curred during tho last twenty-four
hours. It is estimated that 800
cases of fever have occurred to date,
about half of thorn in tho past week
nnd 59 new cases in the last 21
hours. Doctor Booth, in charge of
tlio patients of the marine hospital
service died on the 27th.
Memphis—Tn one week,72l casts,
and 241 deaths.”
On Friday last New Orleans had
234 new cases and 43 deaths. At
Memphis thoro were 148 new case"
and 77 deaths.
Professor Kdkon, while in Vir
ginia City, Nov., stepped into a tele
graph ollice, uml a local paper de
scribes him as “the worst dressed
mnn in tlio room by all odds. An old
black hat, a cheap shirt, with the stud
holes in tho bosom unoccupied, a
two-bit necktie several months old,
corse pants and vest, and a nionse
colored linen duster completed his
attire. One of tho office-boys asked
him t-O out Ilia iwm.n in an it nor""l'L
album. Ho wrote a line that looked
like print and fixed his name at the
bottom. Everybody admired the |
marvellous penmanship, which was
emphatically a now style. The letters
worn awkwardly made, taken singly,
hut when grouped in a lino all looked
exactly alike, us if engrved ou copper
plate. "You couldn’t take thirty
words a minute and print like that, !
said one. “I enn take forty," was the J
reply. The fastest operator pragpnt
look oue end of a wire and Edison,
sittiug nt the receiver, picked up a
sheet of paper and said, “Let the
message come.” He sat there three
minutes and took 130 words with ap
parent ease, doing better than he had
promised. The dispatch was written
iu the faultless hand that graced the
autograph album.”

TheFomy -sixth Cos or ess.—There
is a report current, says the Washing
ton correspondent of the Baltimore
Bun, that some of the Democrats in
both houses of Congress are starting
h movement in favor of tho Forty- j
sixth Congress convening on the 4th
of March next It is liohl that enough
dissatisfied Republican Senators will
join with the Democrats to pass a law
to this effect, and that a two-thirds
vote could be obtained if necessary,
ft is mourn'd, of course, by those who
aro pushing the movement that the
next House will be Democratic, nnd
it is known that the Senate will be
largely so. The ostensible reason as
signed for the early meeting of tl e
next Congress is tnat early action
may be taken on tho depressed con
diiion of tho business of the country,
too idea being that tho new Congress,
coming directly from tho people,
[ may be supposed to have clearer
I knowledge of what is needed. It is
, assorted, however, that the true ob-
Iject of the movers iu this effort is for
j the purpose of taking action on the
i report and developments of the Pot
j ter Committee in connection with
the alleged frauds through which
Mr. llayes was inaugurated.
