A Mlltflkt Brireasie in the Mortuary Ite
port.
From the Savannah Mews, 10th.
The mortuary report for yesterday
shows twenty-eight interments, of
which twenty were yellow fever
eases. From this it will bo seen that
there were the same number of fever
eases as on Sunday, but a decrease of
two in the total interments. Among
the dead of yesterday will be recog
nized the names of a number of well
known citizens, who huve fallen vic
tims to the,epidenie.
Though we record no increase in
the mortality, and the eases of gen
eral sickness may be somewhat di
minished, the applications for relief
are more numerous than ever. While
the sanitary condition of tne city is
reported a little better than hereto
fore, owing to the pleasant weather
of yesterday, it is likely to chatige
for the worse at any time, and we
cannot take the slight decrease in
the death record as any certain indi
cation of an abatement of the epi
demic. Mauy of the energetic mem
bers of the Benevolent Association,
though not "weary of well doing,”
show signs of exhaustion in their
good work, and their places iu a few
days must be lliled by others. On
the whole, we do not look upon the
situation as hopeful, aud think there
should be no relaxation of tiie efforts
to succor the Sick and relieve the dis
tressed, or to improve the sanitary
condition of the city and surround
ings.

Bolt IngtraoU.
The New York World gives a pen
picture of Bob lugersoll, who, the
Radical campaign committee here
promises, will visit us, and tells how
he talks as follows.
“Mr, Ingersoll is a middle aged
man of rattier prepossessing appear
ance, with a decidedly Western mein
and bearing an air of supremo self
confidence and self-appreciation. He
is about medium height, stout, red
faced anil good uatured looking. He
lius a large round bald head, a hear
ty, open, healthy, clean-shaven face,
and dresses in plain black. He is a
plain, clear and very emphatic speak
er, and relies mainly for his successs
upon emphaticand serious statements
commonplaces high-flown rhetoric,
grotesque exaggeration, and broad.
Western humor. He appeals mainly
to the feelings and sense of humor of
his audience, attempt no argumeut,
quotes no figures, and draws mainly
upon his imagination for his facts.
His great want is apparent sincerity,
many of his best points being spoilt
by an over-display of zeal, which his
hearers are more apt to construe as
imitative than genuine. This was
noticeable throughout his speech
last evening. He laid most stress
upon those statements which were
least truthful, and waxed most en
thusiastic over those supposed facts
which had no existence but in his
over-wrought fancy- His best gifts
are a eiear, ringing voice of seeming
ly unlimited power, an almost end
less flow of language, and an utter ;
disregard of accuracy in his state- 1
raents.”
Terribee.— A private letter from
Charleston to a gentleman in this
city, states that that city has for a
week been in a state of most terrible
excitement. Ladies dare not go out
on the streets, and they keep the
doors of their houses continually
locked. It is of frequent occurrence
for rocks to be thrown tnrough
windows to the great peril of the
lives of those within. Those who
live in two story houses never remain
down stairsat night for fear of the
vandalism of drunken and fiendish
negroes who roam ail over the city.
The white men are trying to bear all
they can, for they knowhow ready
malice is to exaggerate and falsify
any action on their part. Thestateof
affairs is truly terrible, and unless
the white men obtain control of the
government, there is little hope for
this once great State.— Atlanta Time*.
THE DAILY TIMES.
YVlio ItiirkM ItalM’ork?
Wheu the Republican speakers
prate about reform and try to per
suade the people that the hold of
the worst men in the Republican par
ty over that organization has been
loosened, it will bo for Democrats to
ask them why General Babcock,
whose annual report has now been
published witli great effrontery, is
permitted to remain at the head of a
branch of public business so impor
tant as the supervision of the build
ings, parks aud streets in Washing
ton, and the Rotomaif AcqneduotV
This is not a question of nomination
to the Senate or a confirmation by
thut body and appulutmeut, but of
the assignment of an army engineer
to duty by General Humphreys, the
Chief Engineer. Why, in the first
place, does not ho relieve Babcock,
and ussigu some cleuu and meritori
ous officer to the post? Unless he be
in alliance with Babcock, or unless
he believes that Babcock has done
nothing “unbecoming an officer and
a gentleman,” it must be that lie
is compelled to do a thing ho disap
proves, by the (party In power.
Or if Humphreys unswers thut
until Babcock is convicted of the
violation of military law lie ought
not to remove him, then why does
he not prefer charges against him
aud try him? It seems to us that tills
Babcock business ought to settle the
question with honest seekers who are
In doubt whether bad men or good
men control the Republican party
now, and will govern it. under Hayes.
It will not do to say that Grant is in
the way, because if the leader
thought the retention of Babcock in
jurious to the party or the canvass,
they would insist on the change, and
Gru'ut would have no choice but to
assent. Grant and Hayes are now
on terms of personal as well as polit
ical friendship. The latter invites
the former to be his guest at Long
Bunch. IT Hayes felt, that Babcock’s
prominent position was damaging to
him, and suggested the transfer, it
would, of course, bo made. Why,
then, is there no movement against
Babcock? This oettainly is a
mystery which can he solved
only on the theory either that
the Republican leaders do not
dare to provoke him, or that his re
tention does not offend the party
conscience. On either theory cuii
prudent voters help to continue such
a condition of things? Bv their fruits
ye shall know them. Aud what fruits
do these leaders bear to-day, and
what will they bear if Hayes bo elec
ted ? Put the Republican party in
power again at the Wiiite House by
the election in November, and those
leaders will not be changed. The
brain, blood and muscle of the party
will be the sarno. Who those lead
ers are to-day every ono knows, and
no man in tiis senses imagines they
will be different a year from now
whether Hayes be defeated or elected.
The controlling Republicans in the
Senate, in Congress, and on the Na
tional and State Committees will be
the masters of the party, and of that
party Hayes will be the agent. What
they are he will be. And if to-play
they demanded the departure of Bab
eoek lie would go. Babcock tloos not
go.— N. V. World. (Deni.)

fast the prosperity of an industrious people in
the paralysis of‘Hard Times.’
Rkkokm is necessary t<> establish a sound cur
rency, restore the public credit, and maintain
the national honor.
We denounce the failure for all these eleven
years of peace to make good the promise of the
legal-tender notes, which are a changing stand
ard of voltio in the bauds of the people, ami the
non-payment of which iH a disregard of the
plighted faith of the nation.
Wo denounce the improvidence which in
eleven years of peace has taken from the people
iu Federal taxes thirteen times the whole amount
of the legal-tender notes and squandered four
times their sum in useless expense without ac
cumulating any reserve for their redemption.
We denounce the financial imbecility aud im
morality of that party which, during eleven
years of peace, has made no advance toward
resumption, no preparation for resumption, but
instead has obstructed resumption, by wasting
our resources and exhausting all our surplus
income;and, while annually professing to in
tend a speedy return to specie payments, has
annually enacted fresh hindrances thereto. As
such a hindrance we denounce tho Resumption
day clause of the act of 1875 and demand its re
peal.
We demand a judicious system of preparation
by public economies, by official retrenchments,
and by wise finance, which shall enable the
nation soon to assure the whole world of its
perfect ability aud its perfect readiness to meet
auy of its promises at the call of the creditor en
titled to payment.
Wo believe such a system, well devised, and,
above all, eutrutßcd to competent hands foi
execution, creating at no time an artificial scar
city of currency aud at no time alarming the
public mind into u withdrawal of that r astei
machinery of credit by which 95 per cent, of all
business transactions are performed,—a system
open, public, and inspiring general confidence,
would from the day of lta adoption bring healing
on its wings to all our harrassed industries, set
iu motion the wheels of commerce, manufac
tures, and the mechanic arts, restore employ
ment to labor, and renew in all its natural
sources the prosperity of the people.
Reform is necessary iu the sum aud modes of
Federal Taxation, to the end that capital may
beset free from distrust, aud labor lightly bur
dened.
Wo denounce the present Tariff, levied upon
nearly 4,000 articles, as a masterpiece of injus
tice, iu equality, aud falße pretense. It yields a
dwindling, not a yearly rising revenue. It has
impoverished many industries to subsidize a
few. it prohibits imports that might, purchase
tli products of American labor. It has degraded
American commerce from the first to an inferior
rank on the high seas. It has cut down the
sales of American manufacture* at home aud
abroad, aud depleted the returns of American
agriculture—an industry followed by half our
people, it costs the people five times more
than it produces to tho treasury, obstructs the
processes of production, and wastes the fruits of
labor. It promotes fraud, fosters smuggling,
enriches dishonest officials, andbanrupts honest
merchants. We demand that all the. Custom-
House taxation shall bo only for Revenue.
Reform is necessary, in tho scale of Public
Expense—Federal, State ami Municipal. Our
Federal taxation has swoieu from 00 millions
gold, in 1860, to 450 millions currency, in 1870;
our aggregate taxation from 154 millions gold iu
1800, to 780 millions currency in 1870; or iu oue de
cade, from less than $5 per bead to more than
$lB per head. Since the peace, tho people have
paid to their tax gatherers more than thrice the
sum of the national debt, aud more than twice
that sum for the Federal Government alone. We
demand a religious frugality iu every depart
ment, aud from every officer of tho Government.
Reform is necessary to put a stop to the
profligate waste of public lands aud their diver
sion from actual settlers by the party in power,
which has squandered 200 millions of acres upon
railroads alone, aud out of more than thrice that
aggregate lias disposed of less than a sixth direct
ly to tillers of the soil.
Reform Is necessary to correct the omissions
of a Republican Congress aud the errors of our
treaties aud our diplomacy which have stripped
our fellow-citizens of foreign birth and kindred
roco recrossing tho Atlantic, of the shield of
American citizenship, and have exposed our
brethren of the Pacific coast to the incursions of
a race not sprung from tho same great parent
stock, ami in fact now by law denied citizenship
through naturalization’as being neither accus
tomed to tho traditions of u progressive civiliza
tion nor exercised iu liberty under equal laws.
We denounce the policy which thus discards tho
liberty-loving German and tolerates tho revival
of tho coolie trade in Mongolian women import
ed for immoral purposes, and Mongolian men
hired to perform servile labor contracts.
Reform is necessary and can never be effected
but by making it the controlling issue of the
elections, and lifting it above the two false issues
with which the office-holding class aud the party
in power seek to smother it—
1. The false issue with which they would en
kindle sectarian strife in respect to the public
schools, of which the establishment and support
belong exclusively to the several State s, and
which the Democratic party has cherished from
their foundation, and is resolved to maintain
without prejudice or preference for any class,
sect or creed, and without largesses from the
Treasury to any.
2. Tho false issue by which they seek to light
anew the dying embers of sectional hate between
kindred people once estranged, but now re
united in one indivisible republic and a common
destiny.
Reform is necessary in the Civil Service. Ex
perience proves that efficient, economical con
duct of the governmental business is not possible
if its civil service be subject to change at every
election, I* a prize fought for at the ballot-box,
be a brief reward of party zeal, instead of posts of
honor assigned for proved competency, ami held
lor fidelity in tho public employ; that the dis
pensing of patronage should neither be a tax up
on tho time of our public men, nor the instru
ment of their ambition. Here again promises
falsified in the performance, attest that the party
in power can work out no practical or salutary
reform.
Reform is necessary even more in the higher
grades of the public service. President, Vice-
President. Judges, Senators, Representatives,
Cabinet officers, these aud all others iu authority
are the people’s servants. Their offices are not
a private perquisite; they are a public trust.
When the annals of this Republic show tiie dis
grace and censure of a Vice-President; a late
Speaker of the House of Representatives market
ing his rulings as a presiding officer; three Sen
ators profiting secretly by their votes as law-ma
kers; five chairmen of the loading committees of
the House of Representatives exposed in jobbery;
a late Secretary of the Treasury forcing balances
iu tho public accounts: a late Attorney-General
misappropriating public funds; a Secretary of
the Navy enriched or enriching friends, by per
oentagos levied off the profits of contractors with
his department; an Embassador to England cen
sured in a dishonorable speculation; tho Presi
dent’s Private Secretary barely escaping convic
tion upon trial for guilty complicity in frauds
upon the revenue ; a Secretary of War impeached
'or high crimes and misdemeanors—the demon
stration is complete, that the first stop in Re
form mun be the people’s choice of honest men
from another party, lest the disease of one po
litical organization infect the body politic, and
lesHjy making no change of men or parties wo
got no change of measures and no real Reform.
Ail these abuses, wrongs aud crimes, the pro
duct of sixteen years’ ascendancy of the Republi
can party, create a necessity for Reform confess
ed by Republicans themselves; but their reform
ers are voted down iu convention and displaced
from tho Cabinet. Tho party’s mass of honest
voters is powerless to resist the 80,000 office
holders, its leaders and guides.
Reform can only be had by a peaceful Civil
Revolution. We demand a change of system, a
change of administration, a change of parties,
that wo may have a change of measures and of
men.
