HDe. Pritchard, one of the distinguish

Yellow fever i3 a germ disease, and

low fever germ can he product d in a room
to give the disease to a cow, and am
willing to make the'experiment if an un-

That the intensity or fatality of the dis

every one died that went into it.

The CnXaex Exports.—The New York
Journal of Vomtnjfrce zays the fast in
creasing American export trade in cheese
ta nearly all done from New York. For
the fiscal yeah ending Jane 30, 1877, the
. total value of cheese exported from the
Unitbd States was $12,729,615, of which'
$12,lfi9,893 went from this city. The
quantity shipped from New York was
103,251,661 ponnds. Between January
1 and September 10 of the present year,
the amount of cheese exported from New
York was 102,583,693 pounds, against
81,005/115 for the corresponding period
to 1877. A remarkable gain is there
shown. The increase in butter evports
is not so striking. These,, from New
York, amounted to 16,004,234 pounds
between January 1 and September 10,
■ 1$78, against 13,581,291 pound! for the
corresponding period of last year. The
butter interest of New York Is chiefly

Governor* jtxamptoa on | Inde
pendency.
Governor Wide Hampton, ot South
Caroline, is confessedly one of the mo%t
liberal, patriotic and high-minded public
men to be found in this or any other
country. Hd is incapable of anything
demagogical, deceptive or mean. He is
a bold, honest and sincere man-r-orve ttho
never deceived, and never laired friend
or foe. Moreover, he is noW orfhvasBing
the State of South Carolina without an
opponent. The Radicals have failed to
nominate an opposition State Ticket, be*
cause they are ashamed to let the world
see, by the count of votes, the extent to
whiob they have forfeited the confidence
and good opinion even of their own
people.
Under these circumstances, Governor
Hampton, addressing a great mata meet
ing of the people at Greenville last week,
uttered these strong opinions in relation
to independent movements among the
Democrats:
I do not know that there is any other
point on which I should detain yon, and
I find the fatigue of speaking is greater
than I expected. I will, however, say
one word upon the dangers- which are
threatening puf party. The greatest of
these, in my apprehension, 13 that of an
independent movement. He who seta
np his own individual judgment as a rule
of action, and refuses to act in full Jbd
perfect accord with our platform, in
spirit as well as inletter, is an independ
ent, and an independent at this crisis In
our affairs is worse .than a Radical. He
places himself, by his own action, out
side of the pale of our party and be
should be ruled out of the party. He
'who Is at>t with us is against us and
should be ranked among our opponents,
for qn open enemy is far le<& dangerous
than a pretended friend. Oar party
must be kept follji organized, perfectly
compact, and thoroughly disciplined.
Every member of it must yield fmplicit
obedience to its dictates, sacrificing, if
need be, his private judgment to its ex
pressed policy, and subordinating all peer
eonal ambition to the public welfare.

These forcible and eloquent remarks
are as apposite to Georgia as to Carolina.
Here, too, the State has been rescued
from the mo3t calamitous condition by
the united Democracy, after long, pa
tient and laborious effort; and here, too,
the attempt to divide a&d distract that
Democracy Is as mischievous as the ef
forts to sow treason and discord in the
ranks of a defensive army. As far as
successful, they endarger and facilitate
the common ruin.
The so-called Greenback movement in
Georgia, under whatever pretence urged
on the people, has the same effect as in
dependency in any other form, and it is
without any apology in the situation.
Unless a man be willing to See paper
monoy issued in anch abundance as to de
preciate its value, which would he suici
dal, he cannot go beyond the general
opinions Qf the Georgia Democracy and
tbhlr Representatives in Congress on this
subject. All of them are opposed to far
ther o >i,:raotion, and in favor of main
taining a greenback circulation sufficient
to meet the legitimate wants of the conn-
try. Every sonnd ebonomioal position
of the Greenbaokera has been borrowed
from the platform of the Democraoy or
dedaoed from its actios, no that any
Greenbackery possible for a man of Sense
to approve, is of no more use in the prem
ises than a fifth wheel to a wagoD. Bo far
as it has any effect It will be to embkrress
and -tend to frustrate the very object of
a wholesome liberalisation of the oareecr-
cy which reasonable men desire. There
may be some apology for a greenback
mtrfemdat in Iboslilies wbeqe men of all
parties ate all busy in contracting con-
traolion axd hardening hird money till
the life of trade is sqneezid out under the
pressure, but Ihere sre none of that kind
in Georgia.
The little ephemeral ltfo so-called
Greenbackery in Georgia has, is there
fore, duo to mete- personal aspirations
which cannot find adequate gratification
in the Democratic ranks, and has not
the slightest foundation in any public
necessity; The man of any merit or pre
tensions who will hazard his personal
fortunes on Greenbackery here, is selling
himself for a message of pottage—and
thin pottage at that. Bland up to the
old Democracy, who carry and must car
ry and protect the political and material
4 fortunes of Georgia andthe South.

roads in tho oonnty, urging that they be
worked by the obain gang.
Freqnently the work.dis’red to be
dons was upon roads of no importance to
the oonnty at large,, being merely neigh
borhood roads or roads not mnob traveled.'
In this j way freqnently muoh valuable
time of the gang was wasted.
At their last meeting they passed a reso
lution adopting a list of the roads to be
worked by the gang and fbe order in
which they were to receive attention.
This order will be Birlotly followed
The roads as they are now worked extend 1
over a hundred and fifty miles. Under
tne new arrangement only those roads
which ate thoroughfares will be worked,
roads leading ont of the county from Ma
con and no nnlmportant cross ’roads will
be labored upon, and those will have to
be kept np by private efforts. In this
way the distance to bb looked after by'
the gang Will be reduced about one third.
It is thought the arrangement will work

tended to which will bring the greatest
benefit to the greatest nnmber.

Whexl&b, ALA., Sept. 20, 1878.
Col. Thomas Hardeman t
Mr Dias Sib—It was with pleasure
that I received yonr favor iQiftmg me to
bp present at fce State Fair.
The delight of again shaking hands
with my Georgia friends is so pleasing an
anticipation that it is Out-qf my p'ower to

While I would much prefer that the
offish to which you allude sbjOnld be as
signed to more able bands, yet, unless
'unforaeen circumstances prevent, I will
. be present and ready for any duty you
mayjleem. advisable and appropriate.
With great respect, your friend,

General Wheeler’s many friends and
old army companions will he delighted
to heat that he will once more meet with
them face to face. No more able or com
petent judge for ths drill could have been
selected as he is the author of a volume
of tactics, and is high authority on all
military subjects.

Avary called the Convention to order and
spoke at length. The usual committees
were appointed:
General John S. Whitney was appoint
ed Chairman, and addressed the Conven
tion. At the close of the Bpeeob, Josi&h
G. Abbott was nominated for Governor by
acclamation ; for Lieutenant Governor,
William R. Pankett; for Secretary of
State, Henry C. Dewing; for Treasnrer
and Receiver General, David N. Skilling';
for Auditor, John'E. Fitzgerald; for At
torney-General, General Rioharct Olney.
Reuben Noble, of Westfield, made a mo
tion tbat the Demooratio Conventions
throughout the State exiling conventions
end oaususses should address a call to all
the Damoorata who propose to support
the candidates of this Convention, and
that when any auoh committee opposes
the nominations of this convention the
members of the several Councillor, Sane-
torial and District Conventions Bhall be
authorized to exclude suoh members from
the Convention. After considerable dis
cussion the resolution was indefinitely
postponed.
The platform declares that the oocsta&t
policy of the Republican party through,
ont the United States has had a constant
tendency to centralize the powers of the
government in Washington; demands
the overthrow of monopolies and the en
actment and execution of snoh laws as shall
protaot the rights ot labor, as wall as
those of capital, not discriminating
against either, bnt framed for the mutual
benefit of both; that the scheme intima
ted and carried into effect by the Repub
lican party of providing paper currency,
not redeemable in coin and compelling
people to receive tho sams in payment of
debts, is without authority of the const!
tntion; congress has no power to make
anything unles3 it be gold and silver le*
■gal tender.
Whatever power it may have to au
thorize the issue of notes to circulate
money, whether issued directly from
the Treasury or indirectly through, the
banks, should be exercised only subject
to certain restrictions. That bo execs
tive office of tho government shonld have
discretion to enlarge or contract the vol
ume of currency. That the total amount
of currency authorized shonld he fixed by
law. That whatever that amount is, it
' should b9 one that shall at every mo
ment be redeemable in coin. That all
coins of the same denomination shall be
as nearly as possible of equal value.
That whatever currency issued by the
government shall be receivable by the

^Planing was chosen temporary Chairman.
When the secretary began to call the
roll a scene of.gre&t disorder ensued. The
question being on the admission of con
testing delegates. John Kelly, of New
York, said that year after year Tammany
has come here and met with contestants,
notwithstanding the decisions that we
are regular, and he wanted tbe question
settled now and forever. He hoped tho
Chair would allow the delegates from
New York and Kings counties to vote.
The Chair stated that it had no other
means of knowing who tbe members were
than the roll call submitted to him by
the State Committee. He, therefore,
wa3 obliged to take the roll and had di
rected the secretary to call the county of
Kings; Mr. Weed, called attention to
the fact that notwithstanding the Chair
had the roll of the State Committee,
notice had been given that New York
and Kings were contested. The Chair
directed the secretary to call Kings ty
vote on tho question.
Weed appealed from this deaden, afid
the nproar was tremendous, Peckham,
Weed and others filled the aisle with
shonting and threatening. The mayo;
and polioe entered the hall and insisted
that the members take seats. Some
resisted, and every one was on his feet
while the hall resounded with confusion.
Mr. Weed had a half dozen police about
him trying to get him off the seat he had
mounted, bnt he defied them. The po
lice were finally withdrawn to the front of
the stage.
The resolution which was tha cause of
the rumpus was carried. It says:
‘•Wheras, The delegation from New
York, commonly known as the Tammany
delegation,and the delegation from King?,
known eb McLaughlin delegation, having
been repeatedly recognized by the State
convention as regnlsp delegations, and
having been so reoognized after the con
test at the last Damooratio Convention,
and the faots of the regularity of the same
now, as then, and
Whereas, it is unjust to disfranchise
so large a Democratic constituency,
therefore,
Resolved, That the delegates be allow
ed to take seats and participate in the pro
ceedings of the convention.
The motion to reconsider was declared
lost amid great cheering. At 4:30 a re*
cees was takes. Those who did not
sympathize with the action left tho hall
