Peru-Rnvages of the Yellow Fever

LIMA, March %, ls69.-There is no
political news. The South is suffering
so severely from yellow fever, as to
drive away all thoughts OF war, save
against the pe%stilence. The city OF
Tacnn is still the scene Of disaster.
Nearly 1000 out of $4,000 have died,
and all persons of standing and impor.
lance. In Islay the fever also continues,
and we have to lament the decease OF
Mr.. Edward Harmsen, q German gentle
man who had resided in Peru for many
years, and who, in his commercial as
we'll as social life, enjoyed the esteem OF
q large number of friends.
As regards Lima and Callao, no fever
Of any alarming form has as yet APP
peared, aud we are in hopes that the
present cool weather will avert the Gu
lamity from US. In business circles no
activity whatever is noted. Several of
the large English houses are seriously
considering the propriety of withdraw
ing their branches established here.

groes the right to vote, as an issue
in the coming campaign, and it was
agreed to, as it passed the Conven-
tion.
At first there was great hesitancy
in even naming the negro suffrage
amendment. Mr.. Attorney General
West stood publicly pledged to op,
pose it. AS q lawyer, no could not,
and and he would not Stultify him
self, by putting it in the Platform.
But Generals Garfield and Reifer
and ex.Gov. Dennison reminded the
Attorney General that the Radicals
in Congress had staked their all on
giving the darkics the privileges Of
white men, and sink or swim, live
or die, survive or perish, Ohio must
resolvei in its favor. Mr.. West could
not see it in that light. He was not
a member Of Congress himself, and
had but little hope OF ever being
one, unless he had somc assurance
that the member from his district
would get another office, such, for
instance, as minister to the Cannibal
Islands-where the chief food of
man is men-and thus give him a
chance, ho West, would see the par
ty in Jericho before he would go
back on one Of his own law opIn-
ions.
The assurance was given that Mr..
Attorney General West should have
yet another chance to go to Con-
grcss--the negro voting proposition
was put into the platform in such
manner as not to offend Mr.. Vests
scnstiveness-and the platform was
adopted, and Mr.. West finally
agreed, In this shape the meeting
ordered it to Do reported to the
Convention, and it was by that body
adopted.
Thus was tho Platform made
Ohio Statesman.

A Virginia banker, who was the chair
man of q noted infidel club. was travelling
through Kentucky, having with him bank
bills TO the value of $25 600. When ht
came TO lonely forest where robberiet
and murders were said TO be frequent he
was lost through taking the wrong road
The darkness Of the night came quickly
over him, and how to escape the threaten
ing danger he knew not. In his alarm
he suddenly espied in the distance dim
light, and urging his horse onward, he al
length came 10 wretched cabin. lie
nOckcd, and the door was opened by a
woman, who said her husband was out
hunting but would soon return, and she
was sure he would give him shelter for
the night. The gentlemen put up his
horse and entered the cabin, but with
feelings that can be better imagined than
described. Here he was with large sum
of money, and perhaps in the house Of
one Of the robbers whose name was d
terror TO the country.
In q short time the man OF the house
returned. He had on q deer skin shirt, q
bear skin cap, seemed much fatigued and
in talkative mood. A this bodied The
infdel no good. lie felt for his pistols in
his pocket, and placed them so as to be
ready for instant use. The man asked
the stranger to retire TO bed, but he de.
clined, saying he would sit by the fire all
night. The man urged; but the more he
urged, the more the in6del was alarmed.
lie felt assured that this was his last
night upon earth, but he was determined
10 sell his life as dearly as he could. His
inidel principles gave him no comfort =
His fear grew into perfect agony. What
was to be done2
At length the backwoodsman rose and
reaching TO the wooden shelf, took down
an old book and said:
"Well stranger if you won't go to bed |
will but it is my custom to, read chapter
Of the Holy Scriptures before | go to-bed, 7"
What change these words produced,
Alarm was at once removed from the skep-
tics mind. Though avowing himself au
in6del, he now had confidence in the
Bible. He felt safe. He felt that man
who kept an old Bible In his house and
read il, and bent his knees in prayer,
was no robber or murderer. He listened
10 the simple prayer Of the good man, at
once dismissed all his fears, and laid down
in that rude cabin and slept as calmly NJ
he did under his fathers roof. From that
night he ceased 10 revile the good old Bible.
He became a sincere christian, and often
related the story Of his eyentful journey,
TO prove the folly Of in6delity'

Result of Mo1'greE Teach.

1tUS
Our readers will find in the
news columns of The Day
Book a horrible detail of a
negro outrage upon a white
young lady of Washington,
who, in the presence Of her
two sisters, was debauched in
the public highway of that
city. These young ladies are
the daughters of a clergy
man, formerly known as the
Superintendent of the "Con-
traband Camp" in w ashing-
ton, and more recently a clerk
in the Treasury Department.
We hold Horace Greeley,
and the Internal gang ofmis-
creants who are with him in
this nigger business, as ac-
countable for these terribly
shocking affairs which are
now of daily occurrence. We
call upon every parent, every
brother and sister, every rel
ative Of each ofthe now hun
dreds per week of these VIC
Tins of. Mongrel doctrines, to
hold the TEACHERS Of nigger
equality responsible for these
horrible, most horrible crimes.
How long, oh God, will
these white men be allowed to
scatter their moral poisons
in the highways and byways
of the land, the product of
which is such fruit ? These
crimes are growing fright
fully frequent. They take
place in the blaze of day, al
most in the heart Of our great
cities, and never a comment
of strong condemnation in the
columns ofthe Mongrel sheets
of the country. Is this state
Of things to go onY Are the
journals, the politicians and
the preachers of this nigger-
equality party to continue to
debauch white women, and
public opinion stand wiring
ing it's hands with grief, ma
king no move to stop their
hellish work ? The villain
that infuriates the brain ofan-
other with rum, and murder,
is committed, is equally gull
ty with the murderer. The
journal, the politician, or the
preacher who talks "nigger
freedom, nigger equality" to
q being who only recognizes
those terms to mean simply
the right to riot in licentious-
ness, is responsible for the
fruits of his teachings. Let
the friends Of the thousands
Of poor creatures all over the
country, ravished by these
worse than brutes, these ne
groes, hold the Greeleys, the
Beechers, the Summers, ct al,
responsible.
