TUESDAY. DKCiaittKn g M7B.
LARGEST CIRCULATION
In tho OinllM *<U*** to and Trading
at CiMaabwi '
It is stated in Washington that
Representative Tarbox, of Massachu
setts, is preparing a speech on the
sltuatlou, in which he will take the
most decided ground for a firm and
aggressive Democratic policy, and
for the assertion of Governor Til
den’s rights at all hazards.
The Detroit free'Free* well says
that the popular majority which
some of the Tilden electors received
in Louisiana is equivalent to a ma
jority of 40,000 on the popular vote In
the Stnte of Ohio. We don’t think
even John Sherman would ssy that
the popular majority of 40,000 either
way in the State of Ohio could be
overturned by the Returning Board.
And JobnSherman will find it a dif
ficult task to convince the people of
Ohio that it is just the thing to throw
out a popular majority of 9,000 in
Louisiana in order that Hayes may
receive the eight electoral votes of
that State, witheut all of which his
chances of the Presidency are worth
absolutely nothing.
Grant is reported to have qualified
his pledge to Hewitt, by saying that
what he promised the latter was that
he would not recognize any House of
Represetatives in South Carolina
with less than 63 members. What
does he mean by recognition? He
keeps his soldiers in the State-house
at Columbia to protect the Radical
House* with its 68 members, and will
not let the Democratic members en
ter the hall to outvote them, even
though the Democrats now have in
their Housed members holding cer
tificates of election from the canvass
ing board. If this is not “recogni
tion” of the Radical House with less
than 63 members, what is it?
By securing the certificates from
two very closo districts in Massachu
setts and Missouri, and by theactloD
of the canvassing boards in Louisi
ana and Florida, the Radicals have
almost overcome the Democratic ma
jority In the House of Representa
tives. The latest summing up gives
the Democrats 148, Republicans 142,
and New Hampshire yet to elect.
Should the Radicals secure the 3
members from New Hampshire, the
Democratic majority at the opening
of the session will be only 3, and Mr.
Stephens’ health is so poor that he
may not be able to attend. There is
hardly a doubt, however, that if the
Democrats secure a working majority
of even Bor 3 in the House, they will
increase it by turning out two fraud
ulently returned Radicals from Lou
isiana, and two from Florida. These
changes, without more from the
other contested districts, would give
the Democrats a majority of eleven
or twelve.
Inquiry has been made of us
whether Gen, Grant would not recog
nize the Democratic House of Repre
sentatives in South Carolina, accord
ing to his promise to Mr. Hewitt,
now that it has secured 83 members.
On this point we find the following
in Saturday night’s dispatches of the
American Press Association:
Grant is being bulldozed. The lead
ers watch him night and day, as
though they fear he may make a slip
und upset calculations. He was on
the point a few days ago of recogniz
ing Hampton’s Legislature. Don
Cameron heard of it. and has had
him in groom ever since. He told
Hewitt he would recognize the Leg
islature that had a constitutional ma
jority of 63 votes. When Hampton’s
wing got that number, Hewitt re
minded him of bis promise. He de
nied point blank that he hud so
stated, but that he would not recog
nize any Legislature that had not 63
votes. So Hewitt, who a few days
ago. thought Grant was going to act
square, is not so eager to say Grant
means to do right.
Estimates!—Notwithstanding Gen.
Grant’s complaint that the Demo
cratic House of Representatives cut
down the appropriations so a to crip
ple the efficiency ot the public ser
vice, it seems that the Departments
have now lowered their own esti
mates considerably. The House will
no doubt trim them a good deal more,
and perhaps effect all the saving
which it aimed to effect at the last
session. The esimates sent in last
week are as follows; For Congress,
$5,988,250; ExeeutUe proper. $76,4000;
Department of State, $1,449,659;
Treasury Department, $165,248,389;
War Department, $64,251,355; Navy
Department, $22,501,968; Interior De
partment, $38,806,722; Post Office De-
I>artraent, $6,636,657; Department of
J ustlce, $4,442,990; Department of Ag
riculture, $227,290. Total, $299,611,668.
These estimates are $45,000,000 less
thau those for 1877, and Congress ap
propriated $47,500,000 less than the to
tal estimates for that year.

—A little child of Mr. O. M. Cavener, of'
Nownan, was very badly wounded, a few
lays ago, by the explosion of a pistol cart
ridge which fell from the mantel and roll
ed into the fire. The ball entered the child’s
face below the eye, but though tt had not
been extracted, it was believed that the
ltttle sufferer was doing welt. People
should be more careful to keep their cart
ridges where no such accident can oecur.

• WHAT HATH THIS OUR CAESAR
FED UFON THAT HE HATH
Blown HO CHEAT?
They tell us that "to feed a dog
upon gunpowder, makes him sharp.”
We d# aolknow what peculiar ac
tion on the nerves of the dog nitric
carbon and sulphur have to Intensi
fy his loathsome tendencies, and
ibftko him lmperlalize In the yard of
his own kennel; wo know none are
monarohs there, that do not wear the
collar marks of their own disgrace
and bondage; but it Is certain that
the burning of villainous gunpowder
rouses In man all his dangerous ca
nine tendencies. The school of the
soldier Is eminently imperial. It
stamps Implicit obedience and un
questioning subordination, merges
the man into an instrument and kills
the voluntary agent in his nature,
and while It cannot destroy the {in
born longing for freedom, it kills
the impulse to resist. It crushes the
unsatisfied longing for relief Into a
sullen obedience, and patient wait
ing for the time when power will
be in one’s own hand. Soldiers of
an empire and soldiers of a republic
are the same, after they have once
worn the uniform long enough to
feel that their living is dependent
upon public pay, and, intensely so,
are they alike after the soldiers of
the republic have once dipped their
swords in the blood of civil war.
However much they may know,
from classic and heroic record, that
"resistance to tyrants is piety to
God,” they have moved and stopped
at the commands “forward” and
“halt,” until their own impulses are
dead and they, as the trained horse
of a squadron, fall into lino and
answer bugle’s call without their
riders.
Search the records of tho nations,
and hundreds of generations will not
furnish the first instance of a trained
soldier, who rose out of the school of
arms, delivered a people from bond
age and then laid aside his epaulets.
Deliverers have arisen from the
people, sometimes from the royal
and often from the baser born. It
takes the training ofH’the citizen” to
make the self-denying patriot leader,
one who has breathed the fresh air of
his native hills and plains, and has
only listened to the lowing of herds
and the tingle of their homeward
bells to tell him tho day is done,
whose sleep away from camps is not
broken by the morning call of the
drum.
In the nature of things, in peace,
the citizen hates the soldier and the
soldier scorns and despises the citi
zen. Peace is the soldier’s obliviou,
and that on which ho alone rises and
makes a name, war, crushes the citi
zen. Beneath the soldier’s tread in
dustry languishes, social virtue un
clasps her golden girdle, and the
whole civil compact is detached from
conservative and settled forms; the
feeble have no protection, the bold
and unscrupulous only are safe. It
is the din of civil strife upon which
“our Ciusar has fed that he hath
grown so great.” Petted and pam
pered by the praises of a people who
blindly have dreamed that crushing
by armies the sovereignty of States
and spilling the blood of brethren
would cement national love; taught
by such to think he was the spirit of
the victorious army of fratricides;
surrounded by the basest and most
selfish elements thrown to tho sur
face from the filthy depths of
the groat civil strife, not yet ended
he has heard only a confused murmer
for peace, since the guns were si
lenced. The steel nails of his mili
tary boots and his jingling spurs
have kept up such a clatter in the
corridors of the White House that
his stolid ears have not heard the
cries of the honest, sincere heart of
the American people for peace.
Thieves have stood round and close
tohim shouting his praises, kept him
smoking if not drunk while they plun
dered the treasury and people. Dis
honest and ignorant counsellors have
wrecked what little of native honesty
remained in him and cultivated his
bent (to. put it lightly) to prevarica
tion. A horrid stael-feeding this
stolid ox has had to fatten him for
the shambles. Short-lived will be
the empire under his hand. His day
to make a deathless name he has
wasted in mean prevarications over
South Carolina and Louisiana. His
instincts are low and he is satisfied
with the entrails, when the fat thighs
of the sacrifice were offered him. But
fury urges him. He t cWZgrasp the
power if Congress is not equal to its
duty.
The States, the virtuous people, if
they are such, must prepare for more
dangerous tyrants than our little
deml-god—the great ruffian of the
White House. The fitness for an
empire is marked among the people.
His plain strides in that direction
are only the first fruits of an intense
but at present small popular senti
ment. Wrongs suffered by freemen
at the hands of a professed republic,
States crushed to provinces by an
imperial government that calls itself
a republic, have begotten the home
ly thought, that a real empire, with
out the deception, would be better.
Some are willing to give what he is
more than willing to take.
It is this “that our Cmsar hath fed
upon.” If Congress dare preserve
Its rights, he may not give the nation
much more trouble. His graspings
at imperial or dictatorial power may
and doubtless will prove vain, or, at
least, short lived; for moreover the
man is not yet born to strangle the
infant Hercules—the free-born child
of liberty. It is now their time to
take the lead in this land.
“Curfew tolls the knell of parting
day,” now a sweet and mellow sound
on evening’s ear to merry sweet Eng
land. But the curfew bells rang
mournfully many long and weary
years for the crushed yet not con
quered Saxon. At Its first peal the
Saxon house-bolder nightly drew
at William the Conqueror’s oom
mand the ashes over the blazing fire
upon bis hearth-stone, and retired
to bis bed, cursing the tyrant that
enforced this nightly social gloom.
But the Saxon patience only intensi
fied and trained under oppression, a
stronger love of liberty, and the bell
that put out btefires only called to
life tho fiercer firs* of freedom, of
which were begotten the slow bat
sure growth of the chartered rights
of Englishmen. Hence sprang the
free spirit of magna chartn and
the daring that demanded its
re-recognltlon of King John, the
source and origin of all we claim of
freedom. Curfew talked there for us
as well as for our fathers, from sire
to son tho birthright comes down to
us. The'storm may strain the tim
bers of the great ship, its sails will
be torn, Us spars soattered, and its
tall masts be shivered by the light
ulog’s wrath, but the sjiip was not
built by unskilled workmen; she
will yet ride the storm, sho will right
herself.
If the curfew bells call us now to
smother our freebonfl,res it will not
always be thus. Their brazen lips
shall bo remoulded in patriot furna
ces and made to thunder, on many
ensanguined plains the right of the
descendents of English people to be
free. *
THE SAVANNAH FEVER.
The News publishes the report of
Dr. George H. .Stone, Assistant Sur
geon in the Marine Hospital service,
upon the origin and characteristics
of the late yellow fever epidemic in
Savannah, The report is made to
the Supervising Surgeon General at
Washington. Dr. Stone thinks that
the first case was that of a man
named Schull, who was carried to the
hospital from the American schooner
Severs, on the 28th of July. Schull
had then been fourteen days in Sa
vannah, having arrived on the Severs
from New York, perfectly well. These
facts show that his sickness must
have originated at Savannah. He had
a fever of one paroxysm, which was
followed by congestion of the lungs.
Two days afterwards he was taken
with a sudden hemorrhage, and died
Immediately. A post mortem exam
ination showed his skin yellow, lungs
infiltrated and filled with blood,
and liver of a complete boxwood
color. The next case was that of a
boy between ll and 12 years of age, a
native of Savannah. The Doctor was
called in to see him on the 21st of
August, and found tho patient in con
vulsions, skin yellow, eyes jaundiced,
pupils dilated, temperature 102 de
grees, pulse imperceptible at wrist,
black vomiting. This boy had not
been away from home or the imme
diate neighborhood for several
months, and had had no visitors ex
cept the near neighbors. He was
taken sick ou the 18th, and died on
the 21st, The suface of his body was
yellow as gold, and the liver had the
boxwood color which Dr. Stone says
appeared to mark all the cases exam
ined. From this time the disease
rapidly spread.
We copy the concluding paragraph of
Dr. Stone’s report:
This epidemic has been characterized by
alt of the symptoms--described above. 1 he
atLack commences sometimes with a de
cided chill and oftimes-withoout. In the
course of the disease we have acute *u
praoi’b'tal pain, burning pains of theeyes,
pain in the loins, nausea, tenderness over
the epigastrium sometimes pains in the
knees, niperaturo 101 •' to 105", poise
rarely over 120, generally 90, witli down
ward tendency us the ease progresses,
vomiting green or yellow bile, often only
the contents of tiie stomach; anxiety, rest
lessness, injected appearance of the eyes,
tongue of a bright Vermillion the tip
and edge (in some cases the tongue does
not show dedcided redness until tho sec
ond day-of the fever), congestion of the liv
er, spongy gums, with hemor
rhage tendency; retention of urino (this
is generally a fatal symton), profuse sweats
without relief, oppression in one case
(which I saw through the courtesy of Dr.
Chariton, of this city,) there was total
blindness on the second duy of the fever.
There have been numerous eases in which
the patient has again been prostrated,
with apparently a recurrent fever or a de
cided relapse, in which there is little or no
'fever, but complete prostration of all the
vital functions. Coldness of the extremi
ties and coma generally precede death,
although I have seen cases where the
patient was perfectly conscious one mo
ment before dissolution.
Black vomit has not been necessarily a
fatal symptom, many cases with this
symptom having recovered. Vomiting
of blood in large quantities has not been
uncommon; biooa and black vomit by
stool has been observed; dark green anil
black urine haß been noted; yellow urine
and dark red urine was very common. In
fatal cases abundance of albumin was
found by me in- the urine; albumin in the
urine has not, however, been a constant
symptom; the body was always yellow
after death, and the liver invariably pre
sented the peculiar box-wood color.

watts’ statement or THE electoral
AFFAIR --A CERTIFIED ACCOUNT PRE
PARED DY THE REPUBLICANS.
Bax Francisco, Dec. B.—A Portland
Press dispatch says thut in au inter
view with Watts to-day, he states
positively that when Secretary
Chad letch slipped the certificates of
election through the door into Cro
nin's hand the other Electoral can
didates presentasked what the sealed
envelope contained. Cronin answer
ed thut it contained the certificates
of election. Watts, Cartwright and
Odell asked to see the certificates.
Cronin declined to allow this. Their
request was made three times by the
Electors named, and each time de
nied. The Electors then demanded
that he should produce the certifi
cates. Cronin refused in most em
phatic terms, at the same time
thrusting the envelope in his breast
pockst and buttoning his coat. The
Electors aver thut no one in
the room but Cronin saw what
he claimed were the certificates. 8o
far as they had positive or judicial
knowledge the envelope contained
nothing but blank slips. He olaimed
that he was Elector and that he had
the certificate and asked permission
to act with Cartwright and Odell.
These gentlemen did not refuse to
recognize him or to act with him.
They demanded that he should ex
hibit his certificate and show what
right he had to a seat in the Electo
ral Board. This he refused to do.
Cronin himself withdrew and declar
ed as the other two gentlemen refus
ed to act, there existed two vacancies
in the board, which he proceeded to
fill, appointing Miller and Parker,
two staunch Democrats, and then
cast the so-called Electoral ballot of
the State. The Republican Electors,
after casting the Electoral ballot,
prepared a full and complete state
ment of what took place in the room
and of everything that was said and
done, to which each appended his
affidavit. This statement has been
forwarded, together with the sealed
ballot, to the President or the Sen
ate. At tho indignation meeting
here last night, Gov. Grover was
burned in effigy on the public street
by a crowd of excited citizens.
