A Stricken City.

The New York Herald's Montevi-
deo correspondent writes as follows
of the ravages Of yellow fever in
Buenos Ayres:
Families are broken up and scat
tered; husbands abandon their dying
wives; mothers leave their children
to die alone, and in some cases entire
families are swept away. AS many
as FIVE or six corpses have been dis
covered in a single house, and there
is lack of laborers to perform the
duties of removal and sepulture Of
the dead. There is also, as might
naturally be supposed, a scarcity of
physicians and nurses to attend the
sick in the various hospitals, and
where almost every inhabited house
is miniature hospital in itself, the
extent Of the suffering must be in
deed dreadful. Several Of the. most
eminent physicians Of Montevideo
volunteered to the succor of. the
stricken Buenos Ayreans, and have
labored with zeal in the face of an
imminent and terrible death that
stamps them as heroes and philan-
thropists second to none in the worlds
history. Rich and poor are alike
stricken with the malady, and it is
doubtful whether yellow fever ever
before, at least in the New World,
held such ghastly carnival among
mankind.
"a new cemetery to receive the
fever victims has been opened in the
campo South of the city, towards the
Riachulea, the old pantheons being
inadequate. A tram railroad has
also been laid from the city to this
new metropolis, and the bodies are
carried out on the trucks like so much
packed freight. There is no time to
construct coffins or burial cases. The
stock on hand was long since ex-
hausted, and the undertakers have in
some instances fed from the terrible
harvest of business that has sprung
"About 10000 persons have fed
the city, some taking refuge in Mon.
tevideo and the towns up the river
Parana, but by far the larger portion
are in the campo, within a distance
of from ten to fifty miles from Buenos
Ayres. Peasants and gauchos living
in miserable mud-walled huts, with
straw roofs, have been besieged with
tenants from among the
wealth and aristocracy Of the repub-
lie, and, in scores Of cases, are receiv-
ing as much as $3.50 to $500 per
month rent for their squalid abodes.
FAMILIES who lived in superb style
two months ago are now covering
among the huts on the plains and
on beds laid upon the floor
or earth"

A Man Remarries His Wife After
.TWenty-Six Years Separation.

An Iowa paper, the Mount Pleas
ant Journal, has this account of ro-
nance:
Twenty-six years ago the beautiful
city of Salem, as now, was peopled
with some of the bestfamilies in Iowa.
Here resided the family of James
McWhorter, and James and his wife
were happy. After a while there
came the news of gold discoveries in
California, and stories of how men
could find fortunes. James hearing
these stories, decided to bid adieu TO
his wife for short time, fill his pock-
cts with the glittering metal; and
then return to his Rebecca. The
farewell was said, and wife and hus-.
band parted. McWhorter went to
California. The letters came and
went as fast as Uncle Sans carriers
could take them. AS the novel-wri-
ters say, time wore on apace;" the
weeks walked off into months, and
the months galloped into years, and,
as the story comes to us. James Nc.
Whorter and his wife were separated
by the wilful malicious lying and
Misrepresentation of evil doers.
Word was soon sent back to the
wife that her husband was the hus-
band of another. Letters ceased to
go to and from; the separation be-
came apparently permanent, and
wound up with divorce. Mrs. Nc
Whortcr in time became Mrs. Abbott,
and after time, her husband died,
leaving her a widow. Some two years
ago a gentleman came from California,
direct from the place where Mr.. Nc
Whorter resided, and he denied all
the reports that had been circulated
concerning that gentleman, report
ing him to be an honorable and
upright man, doing we'll and prosper
ing in worldly matters. After his
return to California reconciliation
was commenced, letters bearing words
of love again commenced to pass to
and fro, and on last Friday Jlmes
McWhorter and Rebecca Abbott were
again Joined in the holy bonds Of
wedlock. This is the story as it came

Which is True (?
Take these facts:

When Mr.. johnson was President
he sent General Grant to examine
into the feelings and condition of the
Southern population. Grant came
back and reported That everybody
was quiet, that peace reigned supreme,
and the laws were executed without
obstruction that life was safe and
the people disposed.t to adapt them
selves to the new conditions imposed
upon them by the results of the war.
Since then he has called for and
obtained bill to crush out outrages
against the law, to subjugate the peo-
pie over again, to quell another revo-
luton and maintain peace in the
Southern States.
When did Grant tell the truth?
To Johnson in his report, or to Con-
gress in his message? He could only
tell the truth once on those two occa-
sions, and he had to tell a lie Just as
otter, for his message is totally differ
ent from his report. General Sher-
man, who in fact brought the war to
"a close, by cutting off Johnston's ar
my from Lees assistance, and who
by right should be thoroughly hated
by the ex-rebels, has Travelled through
that country, rested in hot and dam
gerous New Orleans, and no Ku-Klux
has disturbed his slumbers or impeded
his progress, and has said SO, going
farther and denouncing the usurps-
tions of Grant, and giving fat cor
tradiction to the pleas for unlimited
power in his message to Congress by
which the Ku-Klux bill was enacted.
And the Southern hater, par excel
zence, Mr.. Greeley, has been flourish
ing in Texas, stopping at New Or
leans, has been dined in that city
and teted at Galveston, and no raw !.
head and bloody bones has distressed
him by its presence, unless it was his
own conscience, which is very likely,
and he too proclaims that Grants
statements are false. The people
must pause while they are paying
taxes right and left, and ask. why has
General Grant made two such differ
ent statements with regard to the
South? One or the other must be
untrue; both cannot be correct. The
subject involves the personal liberty

/ selfshness, by its own law, not
only moves in simple circles, but is
shortlived. What men do for them
selves is soon expended, and is soon
forgotten. Even tie monuments which
men ostentatiously build for them
selves refuse to carry their. name, and
often subject them to contempt, rather
than to praise or to memory. Only
that part of maps life which in
cludes other mems good, and espe7
cially the public good, is likely to be
felt long after he himself is dead.

Gail Hamilton insists, in recent
number of Haqper's Bazaar, that men
have no right to disinhlsriit or 4 disown
their sons for any offence whatever /;
that a wayward child may be separa-
ted from the other children, and his
portion may, if necessary, be held in
trust, its delivery depending on re-
formation, but that " no person can
commit against society so great a
crime as a father commits who is thus
false to the trust which he himself
has imposed-who thrusts off from
himself the soul which he called into
being. A father should be governed
by no motive but his child's best
interests, and q chIld's best interests
can never be seryed by anything but
his fathers constant and loving care.

wEDNEsDAYEvENpG, DEC, 10, 1871,

THE bill recently introduced into Con-
gess, forbidding marriage between white
persons and those of African and Indian
descent throughout the United States, is an
amusing specimen of craftsmanship. The
author seems to have had in view something
besides the prevention Of a recurrence of
that fearful iniscegenation, whose results
are so widely seen in the Southern States
aud on the western borders among the
aborigines. 1t is remarkable fact, that
our colored friends quite uniformly prefer
mates of their own complexion OF darker,
rather than lighter ones. Being now free
to choose, they are in no danger of seeking
matrimonial associations with the whites.
Extensive cohabtation between the races
took place during the existence of slavery.
But we presume that it was mainly con-
fined to a low grade of white men to whom
opportunity was given by the helpless con-
dition Of the slave women. We do not be-
lieve that any considerable number of such
connections now exist, or are likely to
take place in the South. The public senti-
ment here is quite sound and healthy upon
that subject, and we do not believe that
Congressional legislation is necessary to
break up the practice. AT the North we
never knew of a marriage between black
aud white. The public sentiment has al
ways been powerfully against it there.
The whole matter may be safely RENTED
to the people, aud left to their discriminating
taste to decide who they will select for
partners. But if legislation must be had
then We suggest that marriage shall be
defined in this bill as is done in bill re-
comfy introduced into the Local Legislature
of the District of Columbia. The bill en-
acts that cohabaation shall be held and con
sidered marriage, and the offspring shall be
made legitimate. This is sensible and
just, and if such marriage is to be for
hidden let Congress so define it
that the practical results, of preventing
miscegeuation and amalgamation may be
obtained. Without this we fear that sly
rogues would slip through the meshes of
the law, and little protection be afforded
to the purity of the races. But if the term
marriage, is extended to cover those rela-
tons which no public ceremony has con-
secrated, and of which the immense num-
Der of mixed bloods haze been the fruit,
we should have an assurance of at least an
honest intent, on the part Of the law-lnak-
ers. Otherwise we shall have good ground
to suspect that this bill is trap for the
feet OF unwary politicians, very poorly
covered up in the meal. sc s-slal.1
