"There are men in Office in South Car-
olina,'' says the New York Tribune,
"who are sucking the blood Of the State !;
who are swindling the people out OF
tens of thousands Of dollars every year.
There are men in Columbia who have
grown suddenly rich by stealing. They
publish the fact to the world by sport
ing gay equippages and living like prin-
ces" This is Radical Tweedism, but
the party bears it with sublime equan-
unity.

Do Doctors Garry Disease!

The Pittsburg Leader tells this: A
married lady living on Congress street
was, last week, confined to her bed with
child. She had not been out Of the
house for several weeks, and there was
nobody in her room but her nurse and
attending physician. She took the small
pox and on Friday night died. Her in
fant was also seized with the malarious
disease, and on Saturday evening fol-
lowed its mother to the grave The
nurse had no symptoms whatever of
having the disease, and the only hypo-
thesis is that the doctor had been at
tending some small rox patient, that
his clothing became infected, and that
the woman contracted the disease from
his clothing.

Item For Smokers,

A man with bad appetite will. if he
smokes, most assuredly eat still less; a
noteworthy fact for smokers or others
recovering from wasting illness or "off
their feed from whatever cause. This
effect of tobacco, by the way, while an
evil to the sick man who cannot eat
enough. becomes boon to the starved
man who cannot get enough to eat; an
ample illustration of this was furnished
among our soldiers in the recent war
Again, q man shonld not smoke who
has dirty tongue, bad taste in his
mouth, or weak or disorderly diges-
ton. In any such case he cannot relish
his tobacco. 1t should be a golden rule
with smokers that the pipe or cigar
which is not smoked with relish Lad bet
ter not be smoked at all. Indigestion
in every shape is aggravated by smo-
king, but most especially that form of
it known as atomic, and accompanied
with fatulence. Diarrhea, as a rule, is
made worse by smoking.

Governor Scott, of South Carolina, is
an Ohio carpet bagger, and we are glad
to know a man of thrift. He is build
ing himself an elegant residence at Ma
poleon, Henry county,in this State. which
he will occupy when the inevitable hour
arrives for him at the South. That hour
seems to be coming along pretty fast.
He has bankrupted the State, made re-
pudiation ralying cry with all persons
out of office who pay taxes, and-got
rich himself. Loyalty is its own reward.
One of our finest and richest States
is Tennessee, and yet out of its 2S,000,-
600 acres no less than 100000 are
uncultivated, and that although it has
been State in the Union for three quar-
ters of century. This indicates in a
striking manner how certainly we are
on the verge Of that wonderful develop
ment which the territory embraced with
in the limits of the United States is des.
tined to attain.
In letter in the London Times of
the 1st inst, from Persia, an English Of
fetal states that the people there are
more emaciated than ever. At least
$4,000 besiege the English Residency
for food every morning, and, in their
rush, actually crushed two women to
death. Infants and young children were
lying about the streets, scarcely recog-
nizable as human beings.
There are great many funny phases
in New York politics. For instance, two
Republican Senators who have been re-
elected were bribed last year by Tweed
to vote for the New York charter under
which all the robberies have been COM
m;tted. These patriots will be called
on to vote for the rejection OF Tweed,
when he takes his seat in the Senate, on
the ground of his general rascaity. The
Boss has his story to tell, anG it will

New York is sent by him to the New

assurance that ''the writer was an officer

u, 8, Senator.

We have been asked, frequently re-
cent Y, our opinion of the Senatorial
contest.
Hon. JouN SHERMAN, present incum-
bent, is candidate for election, and
10 trying to force caucus of all the
Radical members elected. In the eau
Gus he would have 3 majority; but we
believe there is sufficient number of
alti.SHERMAN Conservative Republican
members, who will stand aloof from the
caucus, to ensure his defeat.
The anti SHERMAN members, there are
seven, and the Democratic members can
elect the Hon. j. d. Cox easily. This
would be the next best thing to the elec-
ton of Democratic U. S Senator.
Cox was driven ont of GRANTS Cabi-
net because of his opposition to the sys-
TEN of 'robbing the clerks to aid the Rad
i.al party, and because he was, and is,
an honest, upright statesman .
Therefore, between SHERMAN, the
GRANT Bayonet candidate, and Cox, the
honest, fearless advocate of civil free
dom and Goyernment,wet take the latter,
and suggest that the Delnocratic mem
bers of the Ohio Legislature cast theil
entire vote for him.
