ALL GoSE.-There has not been a
case of smallpox or varioloid in our
city for the past two weeks. The last
patient is out and attendirg to his usual
avocations, and we can congratulate
our citizens that we are entirely rid OF
this pest, Wheeling has been very
fortunate, for while this loathsome
disease ragged with great violence in
neighboripg cities, causing many deaths
and much suffering, our city escaped all
but a slight visitation from the dis
ease.

AT the late radical State Convention
Of South Carolina, composed of carpet,
baggers, public plunderers, and office
holders, tho following resolution AMONG
others was adopted:
"Resolued. BY the Union Republican
pErty of the State Of South Carolina, ia Con-
vontion assembled. that we endorse the ad-
ministratiou of President U. s. Grant, in it's
giss and successful financial policy, which
has reduced the national debt, while lssssn-
ing tho public taxes, and at the same time
preserved full faith with the public credit
ora"
Whersupon, Horace Greeley expresses
his opinion Of the men who havo been
robbing and pbundering tepeople of South
Carolina, aad whs procured the adoption
of said resolution, in the following vigor-
Gus style:
considering how these rascals have sold
themselves to neasursless infamy over aud
over by stealing their poor State poorer than
she sver was before, quadrup!ins her e1-
psnses. doubling her dsot, and trebling her
taxes. this resolve strits e. US as the Chin.

A PROPER LAW. "A bill has passed
the lower house of the Legislature requir-
ing all costs to be paid upon taking an
appeal from judgment entered by JUS
tirs of the Peace. This is certainly a
wholesome law and gives the justices,
Constables and witnesses the costs TO
which they are entitled, instead Of to
somebody else. Thousands of dollsra
have been lost under the old system. Tie
following is the bill in question:
SECTION /. Be II enacted, &C. That before
auy appeal shall hereafter be taken from the
judgnsna Of justice of the peace, the party
appellant. his agent or attorney, shall make
oath or affirmation before the justice that it
N not for the purpose OF delay such appeal
Is eutereds but bece use he firmly believes in-
justice has been dous, aud that ths Justice
shall enter said oath or affirmation upon his
docket: Provided. That whensvsr the ap-
psllant makes an sffiiavit that he is uusbi.
to- pay ths Costs, he shall be allowed to ans
peal without paying costs: and pr0vided
further, That the provisions of this bill shall
Dot apply to the city of Philadelphia.
