BALTIMORE, Oct. 1876 P. NJ, 1853.
My friends otthe Baltimore American are some
what unfortunate in their attempts at correcting
some statements in my letters and dispatches.
have said that malignant bilious fever prevailed
in that part of our city known as FellS Point
thai several deaths had resulted from it. My au-
thority for this statement was derived from DR..
Lease city physician, and me mber of the Board OF
Health. The American also says thtre was no
alarm, and that persons did not close their stores
OF desert the district supposed to be infected. In
this they err either wilfully or ignoranty Stores
were closed, and persons who can name did
leave the neighborhood. The omnibusSeS loo.
which were in the habit ofstopping near Thomas
street, ceased tostop there. The alarm may have
been unnecessary, but such is The fact. Myob-
iect was not to do the city injury but simply to
relate the truth undsguised. The same fever
still exists in that locality, though the general
health OF Baltimore is unusually good. Thephy-
sicians pronounce it very malignant type Of bill
ious, but assert that there is no apprehension of
its being epidemic or contagious. Its hoped that
a few days more will finally eradicate the disease
and there is no necessity whatever in its giving
alarm 1 speak from the book and only notice
the subject again. 10 say once for all that my friends
of the American must post themselves better, be-
fore they undertake to throw doubt upon my state
ments. They have asserted, what those who have
given the least attention to the subject, know to
be incorrect.
There seems to be some trouble among the Dem
ocrats of,he Sd Congressional district of Maryland,
composed of a part of Baltimore and Baltimore
| heir
to-day, after having been warmly engaged in the
canvass, preremptorily, declined serving and pub
fishes card to that effect in the Argus. He init
mates that some of his political friends turned
traitors The fact is he is too honest man to Swal-
low the chcanery ofpoliticS. Mr.. Preston is the
independent democratic candidate for the same
district and there is now probability Of his cleo
ton. The Wings. who had not intended running
an opposition in this district now propose making
contest. VIM. Young, lawyer of some note,
announces himself candidate. Some of Mr.. Van
SAINTS frendssay they will nominate him, and
that he must serve. The fact that he voluntarily
resigned an almost certain membership of Con-
gresS, Civ. proof ofhs moral honesty and fitness
lor the position 1t takes true courage TO refuse
| crown.

dencein this city. The Courts passed resolutions
of coincidence and adjourned in respect TO his
memory.

A dispatch from my New York telegraph cores
