The great republican leaders are
rapidly becoming victims to
disease. Don Cameron is threatened
with tome disease that will not
let him leave a Virginia resort,
Conkling ib going to Yurrup for
his health, and the next mail may
bring news that Ixigan’s constitu¬
tion has broken down. The truth
is, the real leaders ot the party are
sick at heart if notin body, and are
devising all sorts of excuses to get
out ofIhe way of the blame that a
baffled party will pour out on
somebody.
The democrats of Virginia will aot
surely oontinue to support two
distinct Hancock tickets, thereby
handing the State over to Garfield
The democrats can, it is true, spare
Virginia’s electoral vote*, but the
democrats of that State cannot
afford to remain in two camps and
be defbatad, when by uniting the
two tickets put forth bv the conser¬
vatives and readjusters victory can
be secured without the sacrifice of
any principle whatever. As mat¬
ters stand two Hancock electoral
tickets in the field. This is simply
political suicide, and there is no
excuse for it because the differences
among Virginia democrats relate
strictly to State matters.
The following appeared in /Vrlr
of June 16th:

provements in the prepsrstiou of

Mr. Stephens made a stirring
speech in Augusta on Thursday
last. He gave his reasons for pre¬
ferring Gen. Hancock to Gen. Gar¬
field, and thought with Hancock
for President and the bloody shirt
buried the country would take a
new start'on the road to prosperity.
Mr. Stephens announced hie willing¬
ness to serve his constituents
anothor term if they desire it.
The announcement was loudly ap¬
plauded, and he wiH doubtless stand
•gain for Congress,
No Yellow Fever Yet.
The dreadful pestilence, yellow
fever, is later in visiting the United
States this year, and though it
would be unwise to predict that it
will not come, there is good reason
to believe that such is among the
possibilities. Ho far there has not
been a single case, except atquarun
tine in New York, imported from
Havsnna, and even st the last
named place, where disease finds
origin usually, it has not yet be¬
come epidemic. A thorough sys¬
tem of inspection and quarantine
exists all along the Mississippi
river, from Cairo to New Orleans.
Quarantine stations also are located
on the Gulf coast and Atlantic
aeabord, and all incoming vessels
are subjected to inspection. There
is also a system of inspection for
all railroad travel entering into
Memphis and other exposed places.
The National Board of Health is
very hopeful that yellow jack will
give us the go by this year, hut are,
nevertheless, prepared for prompt
action in the event of the monster’s
arrival.
Atlanta’s Population.
From a perfectly reliable source
we learn that the summing up of
the enumerators wi.l give a popu¬
lation verging on 88,000 within
the city limits proper of Atlanta,
our Bute capital. In 1870 the
census showed 21,789 inhabitants.
It will be seen, therefore, that the
increase during the last decade is
equal to sevuUy-five pci cent.
Thus far five cities in tho union
only have exhibited a more rapid
growth, and several of these nre
western towns, which, like Denver
under the stimulus of mining
operations, and the gold and silver
fever have advanced with abnormal
rapidity. Ofo»© thing there seems
to be no doubt: the work of taking
the census in Atlanta and else¬
where has been most efficiently
performed. Especially is this true
of Dr. H' I*. Gatchell who fills the
position to which the notorious T
J. Simmons aspired. The appoint¬
ment of Dr. Gatchell, wo are assured
has given universal satisfaction.
Albiet a moderate republican, he
U a gentleman of fine social stand¬
ing, clear judgment, extensive in
formation and a successful practi¬
tioner of medicine, liis appoint¬
ments were nonpartisan and based
solely upon the qualifications of the
applicants. We trust at the end
of another decade our sister city
will still be able to keep up the
same flattering ratio of increase in
the number of her inhabitants.
Maeon Telegraph.
Over in Bouth Carolina, at the
