SHIP FEVER AND ITS CONSEQUENCE. The cor.
rupt assemblage Of jobbers, specu' ,tors and
needy politicians, known as the All my Leeis-
lature, who met in the State Capitol last winter
were so busy imposing all kinds of frauds and
swindles upon this city and State, that they
could not find time to make moderate appro-
priation for the support Of the floating quaran-
tine hospital in the lower bay, the only safe.
guard now remaining against the introduction
Of contagious diseases liable to be imported
from tropical countries. The quarantine ques-
ton involved scramble for plumber, and as IL
could not be settled to the satisfaction of the
Legislature, II was left unsettled altogether.
The quarantine hospital, therefore, Is worth
less hulk lying upon the waters Of the harbor.
while the city, with its immense population, is
left exposed to chance or the mercy Of Provi-
dence for protection against decimating pes

Fortunately. Up to this time we have had no
epidemic IN the city; bat we cannot overlook
the fact that there ore ct present no less than

GROWTH OF GENERAL JoURNALIsM-DEcAY OF
PoIIrIcAL.-We learn from all quarters that the
merely political papers throughout the country
find it very hard to get along these times
They are in very poor plight, and can with
difficulty keep going. The campaign papers
have started without campaign, for as yet the
battle has not fairly begun; while as for the
campaign pamphlets and documents, they are
lying in piles on the shelf-there is literally no
sale for them. The truth is that the tone and
language of the political papers are so dirty,
abusive and uninteresting to the masses of the
people, that very few of any taste will read
them at ALL There appears to be greater
general apathy as to the sayings and doings of
the politicians than has ever been witnessed be-
fore pending Presidential contest.
But while the political papers are decaying
in influence and circulation, on the other hand,
those journals which devote themselves to
general literature and news and the legitimate
mission of journalism--the papers which ana
lyze all parties and politicians, and give the
position of each from day to day without predi-
lection or prejudice-are thriving in proportion
as the merely political papers decline. We can
speak for ourselves in this regard. The IN
crease in the circulation of the HERALD for the
past six months has been greater than within
any stated period before; and the increase goes
on steadily, and promises to continue.
The same is true of literature generally and
of the arts. They are growing and aourishing
with vigor, although we are on the eve of the
most important Presidential election ever held
in the republican election without parallel in
its issues, and without precedent in the mode
by which it is to be fought. The public are so
disguised with the course of the politicians that
they take no notice whatever of them, but look
on with Indifference and see them abusing each
other in all kinds Of vile language. As far as
the people are concerned, never was apathy
more universal before a Presidential contest
than it is now.

The ELECTION IN NORTH CARoLNA.-The
election returns from North Carolina, which we
publish in apotheEaolumn, are mixed up, be.
tween the vote for Governor and Legislature,
and are not sufficiently complete to found any
decided opinion upon them as to the result
But there can be no Disgusting the fact that pre-
sent appearances are ominous as regards the
hopes Of the democratic party. The gain of the
opposition in some counties is certain; and il,
with only one democratic candidate in the field,
the election is considered doubtful, what
are we to expect when the demo-
cratic strength Is divided between two
candidates. The prospects Of the de-
mocracy in North Carolina are, 70 say the
least, clouded by the intelligence of this
election, so far as II has come to hand: and IL
the event should prove adverse when the conn.
plete figures reach us, il may be regarded as
symptomatic Of general revolution In the
South, brought about mainly by the disgust of
the people with the Ere eaters of the school OF
Yancey and Keitt, who have been unfortunately
mixed up with the Breckenridge ticket. But
before we arrive at any deanitive conclusion
we must see some further returns.
