General Jubai A. Early.

The Lynchburg Nrginian publishes
letter from General Early, in which he de-
fines his position In the present campaign in
unmlstakable terms. We have never had
q doubt as to the course General Early
would pursue when he wa called upon to
decide between Greeley and Grant There
are some men whose actions under given
circumstances can be foreseen with almost
absolute certainty. General Early belongs
emphatically to this class Of men. BE Is
sure to do the thing that it is right for an
honest man, a patriot and gentleman to
do. The following extract from his letter
presents his views as to the proper thing for
Southern men to do In the present political
struggle:
''If my opinion is of any weight with my
old comrades and friends of the lower Valley,
my advice to them is to vote with their party
and their friends, and thus keep the State out
OF the hands Of the vile herd that is anxious
to prey on her vitals; and this advice I would
give to all my old comrades and friends In the
State. If there are any of them who have
sworn in their wrath that they will never vote
for Greeley and Brown, let them tear thell
names from the ticket, and vole for the ticket
OF native Virglnians, headed by those true ant
noble SONS OF the State, my very good friends
Colonel Robert E. Wlthers and General Jane!
NJ. Kemper. There can be no dIshonor Ii
that, and we can trust thossagentlemeu to cast
the vote OF the State as they think her best In
| terests require"

"A Commercial Contrast.

In q recent speech In Glasgow, Scotland,
Chancellor Lowe stated that he had taken
off s9, 900, 900 OF taxes, and yet the hall
years receipts Of revenue would reach e.
zoo, 900 more than in 1868, before the reduc-
ton OF the tax. The half year alluded to
closed on the last OF September, and the
gain over the corresponding period of last
year is 92, 1858, 34l, 30 that the treasury d
turns more than bear out the boast Of !ts
chief. The surplus next April will be SUI
fcient to discharge the Judgment Of the &C.
neva arbitration, 30 that the British rate
payers will scarcely feel the expense Of that
award. The healthy commercial activity
which this indicates is in striking contrast
to the decline OF like interests in this
country.

tropics, ON the eastern coast of British india,
where the summer temperature is scarcely
endurable by Europeans. As the climate of
New York Is healthy, 1t would seem from these
facts that the sanitary laws of that city must
be most ineflclently administered.
In New YORK not long since, a great in
crease la contagious fevers was made a seri-
GUS matter for investigation. The facts in the
case seem to be these: The total number Of
deaths there from contagious sources for the
week ending September 7 were: typus 4,
typhoid 10, scarlet 10, measles 10, diptheria
IL, smallpox 8; and for week ending septem-
Der IA they were: typus 4, typhoid So, scarlet
10, measles l, diptherla IL, smallpox 8. 1t
| was remarked with anxiety what an enor-
nous stride typhoid fever had thus taken In a
single week. The following week there was
some gain In this respect. The month OF
september has been noticeable in Phlladel-
phis, also, though not to the same extent
as In New York, for the development OF
typhoid and other contagious feVers.
The diseases peculiar to summer are now
succeeded By q new class of maladles, such as
intermittent and typhoid fevers, resulting
from miasmatlc gases no longer neutralized
BY the midsummer heat, from rash exposure
to the night air, from imperfect sewerage and
defective drainage.
While upon this subject we may express our
| concurrence with the Philadelphia Record IN
the opinion that some well known and author
ltatlye medical body would do great service
nv publishing, at suitable seasons, sanitary
suggestions for cities and hints on Individual
health, and this not only at times OF Which
contagious diseases or ep!demics are at their
climax, but also those regular epochs when a
change of weather or other new elements
should cause new precautions to be taken for
the public health.

schurz on -carpet-Baggers.

Moved by that sympathy which the sight
Of suffering everywhere awakens In the
generous breast, the great German orator,
In his late speech at the Cooper Institute,
brings his ~eloquence to bear upon the car
| pet-baggers who are the sole cause OF that
suffering. He does not handle them tenaer-
" with the gloved hand, but uses plain
language. No more than Mr.. Greeley does
he mfnce words when speaking OF the
wretches who have brought such trouble
upon the country. What, he inquiries, has
brought this blight upon the South Not
30 much the war as the shameful corruption
which pervades the State Governments.
"Fraud, plumber, shameless robbery-these
sare the characteristics ofthe State Govern
"ments. And who liz responsible for it
ssWas IL not Grants Administrations to which
.ssl these robbers; all these plunderers, chung
'for support?
This Is very direct talk. But he adds
that these 'thieves" kept themselves In
| power by two means-their first and most
powerful one was the Federal Government,
and their next most powerful aid they
sought In The Ignorant negro vote. The
thieves, he continues, control the negroes,
and it was under their influence that they
have been arrayed against the whites.
The black and white race stand face to face
as enemies-''for the negroes are under the
tlnfuence Of the most pAanous scoundrels
s'that acre eoer aNooed to disgrace a great
sand noble country p
We will follow the senator but a step
further. .In5 the name OF what party" he
asks, sshaye the carpet.bag governments
stbeen founded? In the name Of what party
shave the carpet-bag governmental. been
defended and upheld Was 1t not the
Republican party? Yes, 1t was." This is
the gist of the matter. Here is the running
sore which is sapping the very life OF the
South. Schurz perceives 1t, and openly pro-
claims 1t In New York. a PROSTATE man
may recover, but rot while beset with foul
and obscene birds Of prey, who are pecking
out his heart. Prometheus, though chained
to a rock, might arise, could the vultures
only be driven away. Strangers, even OF
foreign birth, loudly cry out against the
shameful wrongs inflicted by the Grant
party upon Che South, while Southern men,
with Mr.. Stephens at their head, are found
willing to aid In the re- election OF tho tyrant,
through whom these wrongs are wrought.
A German would save us from the talons OF
the carpet bagger-a Georgian seeks to sink
them deeper in.
