the best medicines in the world, more efficient
in the cure of diseases than all the potencies
of the materia mediea, are warmth, rest and
cleanliness, and pure air. Some persons
make it virtue to brave disease, to keep

a finger and it sometimes succeeds; but Of

ability to recuperate, and slow and typhoid

PRUSSIA AND ENGLAND.

The dispatches which have passed be-
tween Bismarck and Granville in relation
to the little island of Heligoland, in the
German Ocean, have a tartness apout
them that smacks of hostilites. Bismarcb
desires to purchase the island in order tc
prevent it becoming foothold for an en-
envy against Germany, considering that
its possession is necessary to the defense
of the Empire but his proposal to buy
sounds very much like a threat to take it,
in case his wish is not granted. Granville
replies that England does not desire to
sell, and does not see that the defense OF
Germany has anything to do with the
right of England to control her own prop
erty, or oblige her TO sell it if she does
not choose to.
1t is very plain that Granville's position
is sound, that he cannot be pushed from it
by fair means, and that Bismarck would
commit gross error, should he under
take to do it. The willy statesman of Ger
many understands this very well of course.
II he can force England to sell her prop
erty, he can by the same authority take it
without buying. What he means by his
bluster is not apparent, for it must retard
rather than advance his ostensible object.
England would sacrifice her last man and
last dollar rather than sell now under the
appearance Of compulsion. But Bsmarck's
demand has created a sensation. Coming
from the conqueror of France and the ally
of Russia, it excites tremor in the ner.
yous system of John Bull, and sets him to
seriously thinking whether he is prepared
for an encounter with the giant power of
Europe. The answer of Granville is firm
and right, and how Bismarck will get a
different one by threats and buster we
fail to see, unless he resorts to the needle
gun, which he will not probably do.

THE DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION

The democratic convention yesterday in
dicated by its appearance that something
of more than common interest agitated
the democracy. Its strongest men were
upon the ground, from the east and the
west, in fair numbers for the season. The
presence of reporters from the democrat
ic press of New York as well as Boston
also spoke Of the Importance attached to
the doings of the convention by the de-
mocracy at large. CT course it was the
new departure that aroused the elements.
As we had anticipated, Mr.. Kimball OF
Portland was nominated. That part of
the business had been nicely arranged be-
fore the meeting Mr. Kimball is re-
spectacle man, has amassed fortune in
his business, and is bound to live and die
a democrat without reference to new de-
partures. He will ride in the old zone
horse shay" if obliged to, but has fancy
for paint and polish and new things when
they promise to put money in his purse OF
aid to carry him into office. Probably he
viii get all the votes his party has to give
and that is as well as any candidate could
do.
1t will be seen also that our prediction
in relation to the adoption Of the new de-
parture was correct. There was great
pressure brought to bear to effect it, but ii
was not adopted without strong dissent. In
the committee that reported it the struggle
was fierce.
"Long time in even scale the battle hung"
but at length the new departure came of
victorious. Although it passed the con-
vention there is intense dissatisfaction
with it which will tell in the election
The mass of the party feel as if they had
been shamefully betrayed. but the mana
gers have carried their point and purpose
to whip in all malcontents. There is bit
terness enough to create split in the
party, but the dissenters will not probably
undertake to organize against Kimball
but will give him cool support before
election and blank ballots at the polls
To adopt the new departure in convention
is one thing, but to force it upon the party
is another and more difficult undertak
ing.

Letter from NorfotA.
the Editor ofMe State Journal:

TO the Editor Of the State Journal:
NORFOLK, VA, March 7, 1871
I have noticed for several days past,
you have omitted the esprit of the Morn
ing Press" in your daily.
As one of your subscribers, let me urge
you not to discontinue it on any account.
In the FIRST place it gives us, who cannot
readily obtain the other Richmond 'dailies,
a very satisfactory idea Of their position on
topics of leading interest; aud, besides, the
review affords you, sir an excellent oppor-
tunity to deal heavy blows against Conser-
vative, Democratic, old fogyism on the
one hand and on the other, to bestow a
word of well-merited oommeodation and
endorsement to those papers that, like the
Enquirer, have taken just, liberal and ad-
vanced views of things and have made a
bold, brave stand in behalf of the best in
terests of the State.
And, if you will permit me word
further, it is this class of papers, sir, that
the people will sustain. We are too much
in earnest, and altogether too hopeful for
the future of Virginia, just awakening, as
it is, to proper sense of the powerful en-
eTSteo Required III Oruer u bu0 ueVelOp-
ment of its vast resources, to listen longer
with patience to the 'tmad-dog" cries
to which certain papers resort when argu-
ments fail. "RadicaliSm," and such like
epithsts, will neither turn us aside from
our course, nor check us in it. We have
lived long enough to know that there are
honest men in every political party, and
we will stand by those men who, ignoring
self, class, and corporation interests, stand
by the people and demand "the greatest
good for the greatest number"
This is. in fact, Republcanism and we
may well rejoice that the logic Of events is
SO amply indicating those principles
which have been so long commended to
the favorable consideration of the good
people of this State. ALPHA,
