A Healthy Sign.

One Of the most healthy signs Of the
times is the singular unanimity with
which the partizan journals denounce
the move nent to place an independent
ticket in the field. All right, gentle
men-if your grimsces please you,
they certainly can't injure the Labor
Reform Party.
SINCE our last issue, we have received
several communications from the lead
ing statesmen Of the country warmly
endorsing the platform adopted at the
Cincinnati Congress, some Of which we
msy publish in future issues. The cool
work goes on.

NOUN VERNON. OHIo,l

Aug. IL, 1870.
Accept my thanks for your favor OF
the 10th inst, (this moment received)
enclosing me the circular Of Mr.. Ire
vellick and yourself, enunciating the
principles Of the National Labor Union.
1t is a sound democratic document ;
with which, as Q whole, | cordially con
cur. | believe with yon, that the in
terest on money cannot be greater
than the average rate Of the increased
wealth of the country, without central
izing riches in the hands of the few,
at the cost of the many; bat the ques-
ton is one of difficulty, and demands
grave consideration. With your views
on the bond and land questions /
heartily concur, and regard them Of
paramount importance.
Between labor and active capital
here is no natural antagonism; IN tact,
tney ought to be friends, but to be so
there must be jnsties but, inactive
capital invested in government bonds,
or like securities, which, like thief in
the night, steals your substance while
you are sleeping, il the inevitable
enemy Of labor. 1t lives without toll,
and consumes without producing.
This note is hurriedly written, and
not intended for publication but, as I
have no private views on public ques-
tons. it is at your service.-Respect-
fully yours. GEORGE W. MoRGAS.

Death by Yellow Fever.

The Water Valley Tall0nian Of July 2
contains the following account of a death in
that city from yellow fever: -.-.
A man named Cummirs, died in this city
on Sunday night last, with yellow fever
From all the information we could gather
the man it seems, left New Orleans some
two weeks before for Shreveport, Louisiana
but went by boat a few days after, to Mem.
phis, where he remained but a few days
On Thursday, of last week, he arrived here,
and went to work in the machine shop, be-
ing boiler maker. Sunday he was taken
down with what was pronounced at once to
be yellow fever, and so rapid was the dis
ease that he died that night. ~.
The sudden death of the young man has
very naturally given rise to a good deal of
anxiety and alarm among good many of
our tOwns-peOple, for fear that the disease
would spread. To those who labor under
such apprehensiOns, and for the benefit of
our readers generally, we would say, that
while such an occurrence might be within
the range Of possibility, that to say the
least, it is not at all probable that it will do
SO. The best medical authorities in the
country, and the great majority of physi-
clans who have had much to do with the
disease, do not regard it as contagious, like
small pox or scarlet fever, which will spread
in a perfectly pure air, while yellow fever
will not. We do not apprehend any danger,
but it might not be amiss for our citizens to
see that all filth is removed from our streets
and from near their residences, so that no
local cause may exist to generate disease.

Let no person, hOwsOever exalted he or
she may be for the present, imagine for one
moment that it is impossible for adversely
to Overtake them. Examples of this kind
have been many within the past few years,
proving that persons have tumbled from
high estates into the depths of poverty.
And on the other hand persons reared in
poverty have suddenly risen to the possess
sion of immense wealth, which surrounded
them with the luxuries of life. The man
who can deport himself properly under
these changes of fortune-whether for good
or evils the man who deserves the sympa-
thies and respect of those who can admire
true worth. 1t is to the poor, then, as well as
the rich, and the independent labOring
classes, that it would be well to say, "Buy
your tickets at once if you would have
chance of drawing a prize in the next single
number drawing Of the Louisiana State
Lottery, which takes place on Saturday
next" The many persons who have risen
from poverty to sudden wealth by simply
investing a few dollars in tickets in this
institution, over which President Charles
T. Howard presides with SO much vigilance,
is the best of proof that matters are pro-
perly conducted, and that if prize is
drawn the money is forthcoming.

General A. J.'.Hamilton passed through

Washington to Texas. The Houston Union
says that in his conversation in that city,
General Hamilton manifested bitter oppo-
sition to the Legislature and all the admins
tratiOn measures of Governor Davis. At
Brennan, according to the Hampstead Re-
porter: .r'
He denounced, in the most vile and bitter
terms, the course pursued by Governor Da-
Wis and the present Legislature, as unjust
and ppressive-denounced them as set of
political scientists, thieves, scoundrels, cor
morants and plunderers- the militia
bill was gross Infringement upon the rights
and liberties Of our people-was bitterly op-
posed to this corrupt body voting away
millions Of the peoples money to rings and
railroad speculators- favored public meet
ings in every county in Texas, denunciary
of the course pursued by the present Legis-
lature, the proceedings of which should be
sent to the Congress of the United States,
and that they would take action upon the
same-said that he intended, as soon as he
reached home, to tell these Radicals of their
rascality to their teeth. -'T'.

taken on a full supply of wood and pine
