The succinct facts in reference to this ter
rible disease which have been indsputably
established by the careful observation Of
scientific men at home and abroad are, ac-
cording to an exchange:
= l. That infants should be vaccinated in
month after birth.
2. That vaccination should be repeated at
the age of fourteen years.
3. That the older persons grow after that,
the less danger there is OF an attack OF
smallpox or varioloid, which is small
pox modified by previous vaccination,
and that after fifty there is no danger Of an
attack.
a. Still, if there is any danger of unusual
exposure to the disease, or if it prevails
largely in a community, it is safer to be
vaccinated again.
5. Nurses in smallpox hospitals who are
revaccinated are almost wholly exempt,
while other nurses, who are careless of re-
vaccination, have varoloid in cases ten
times more numerous. 5
8. That the farther the removal Of the
vaccine matter from what was taken from
the cow, the more Necessary is revaccination
that is, vaccine matter loses some OF lis
power in every person it passes through !;
uCuCc ii pIdCtiliOiciS SliOulti tdNO oii
their matter from the COW direct, every ten
years, the community would be greatly sa-
fer.
Z. No authenticated case has yet oc-
Cured where any disease has been commu-
nicated through vaccine matter, other than
modified smallpox. This statement should
be fixed upon the memory of the intelli-
gent reader, as bare assertions to the con-
trary are recklessly made by certain class
Of uneducated persons, who write on mat
ters pertaining to health and disease.
s. 1t is a very rare occurrence that any
person who has been once well vaccinated
and was in good health at the time suffers
from yarioloid. Those who have varioloid
after having been vaccinated once suffer be.
cause it did not take well or some other dis
ease was in the system at the time, or the
matter was at too great remove from the
original source, the COW.

GRANT AND the LONDON TIMES.

We print to-day an article from the
London Times on Grants Administration,
which we respectfully commend to the
Democratic press. The Times was the
especial friend of the Southern Confederacy
during the late war. 1t is the one paper
that may be said to reflect the friendly
sympathy of England towards the Southern
people. Its endorsement of Gen. Grant
ought to have weight with them, against the
denunciations Of a partisan press, intent
only upon keeping up unhealthy disaffec-
ton among a people who need repose. We
implore those editors who prostitute their
columns to defaming Gen. Grant, exciting
hostility to his Administration, and per-
sonal hatred towards him, to cease
their diabolical work. General Grant
scM be President Of these United States for
the term Of fire years, from the 4th Of March
neat, ifhe tiees, aud does not refuse to se,ve
second term. With this fact settled, let
us all be glad, and rejoice that stable poll
icy is secured, and time given us for mate
rial growth and intellectual development.
Strength and moderation will be the charac-
teristics Of the administration. The loyal
and true, the weak and the oppressed will
be shielded and protected everywhere only
the oppressor and the criminal has cause to
fear.
Let all good men thank God, rejoice that,
for few years at least,a "a strong hand grasps
the helm of State, and brave soul, wise,
potent and incorruptible looks out over the
stormy waters to guide our bark safely into
port.

Tae LonGOa Times ON Grants AdminiStratiol

Various causes have combined to produce
this prevalence of Republican views. Of
course, the great ACHIEVEMENTS of the war,
and the conviction that the party may be
best trusted to secure and consolidate what
it had gained in the contest, are the endur-
ing bases of the Republican power. But
to these may be added the administrative
and financial success of the last few years,
and the favorable relations of the country
with foreign powers. At the same time, it
would seem chat the Democratic party has,
whether Justly or otherwise, lost cast. A
large majority of the best class of Ameri-
cans are Republicans, perhaps for the rea-
son that some of the worst have taken the
lead in certain places on the other side.--
The city of New York has to bear the
blame Of this unpopuarity of the Demo-
Gratis. II is observed that since the ex-
posure of the Tammany frauds the Repub-
lican feeling has deepened, and the late
elections may have been largely influenced
by this incident.
1.-THE general opinion is that President
Grant will be nominated for reelection. In
favor Of this course will be the respect he
has won, not only from the Republicans,
but from moderate men from all parties
by his honest and conscientious
discharge of duty and the knowl-
edge of the electors that they have
in him tried man, fit for any emergency
of the time. On the other side, there is on
ly the prejudice against electing the same
man twice. This feeling has been very
strong with the present generation ol
Americans, and has, we believe, made a
single term for the Presidency almost a
cardinal principle with some politicians. Ii
was not SO in the early days of the Union,
1t remains to be seen whether General
Grants merits and popularity will secure
him this high honor. We can only say
that such a result of the coming discus.
sions would be received with the utmost
satisfaction in this country. The interests
Of England and the United States are now
so interviewer in commercial, and, there
fore, also in political matters, that ths
character of the American Executive is ol
no small importance to us, and we believe
the general opinion to be, that the States
have never had government more straight
forward and conciliatory than the present
in its foreign policy, and more to be trustee
by those whose commercial and financia
interests are bound up with the mainten
ance of American credit. The firmnes
and moderation with which order has beel
restored, the economical skill with whicl
2 the debt has been reduced, and the goo,
will with which international controversial
have been brought to close, make us anti
cipate with satisfaction the election of Gen
Grant to second term of office. h

Exactly. just as we expected. There
are circumstances developing themselves in
connection with this case which stamp it as
a great atrocity. We appeal to the better
disposed citizens of Norfolk to awake to the
fearful position their city is being placed in
by these continued outsages, perpetrated by
some of her hot-heads, who, when the day
of retribution comes, as come it must, will
have nothing to lose.
Men must be more than human to stand
still much longer and see their companions
shot down, and no successful effort made to
bring the guilty parties to justice.
