Cus duty in this Campaign, as
Southern Men.

We see by the papers that the National
Democratic Convention is to be held
next month, l9,h,) at the City of Balti-
more, and that enc reason Why this city
was chosen as the place of meeting, was to
svoid the pressure which has developed
strong, sympathy in the liberal Republi-
cpn nomination of Greeley and Brown.
This looks as though there is some
chance of an independent Democratic
nomination, which we look upon as en-
suring to Grant his reelection. This we
regard rs the dircst curse that can befall
the South. This campaign must be
fought out by us under the black flag
principle-party lines nre of little mo-
ment to us, who struggle for freedom from
actual bondage, political and personal !;
and we must enter the field assured that
we must win or be forever lost An
ether decade of Radicalized emancipa-
ton, and the day of prosperity for South
Carolina shall be buried beyond rcnova-
ton.
To avoid this, in the name of all that is
sacred, let us not repeat the folly of Il
Douglass and Breckenridge campaign,
with q Lincoln to trot in with light
weight. Tfthc Democrats do their duty,
they will join the liberal Republicans,
who have made these capital nominations,
and make the election of Greeley and
Brown n certainty. In our opinion
Greeley is personally from his record
more acceptable to the So1th than any
Northern Democrat; and if the Southern
delegates throwing aside this certainty of
being rid Of Grant, consent to be led
again by the Northern Democrats they
will have to accept this same platform.
We can get no other than such rs will
contain the only points OF this to which
wecould object; viz, the political equality
OF all men, the supremacy of the Union,
and the 18th, 18th, and 10th Amend
inents. For the men those we have Of
tered us are known to be men of honest,
answerving political integrity, ability, and.
patriotism, though of a different party to
ourselves; while the very enemies Of
our State, whom wedesire to remove from
office, Grant and Scott, are Northern
Democrats, who while Democrats, before
they deserted to Radicalism, performed
those eminent services against us which
gained them office: and upon the con.
tinued pursuit of these against us, will
rest their claim to reelection. We sin
cerely hope that no Democratic nomna-
tion will be made, and that Greeley will
be elected. Ee is the only Yankee we
believe who has philanthropy enough to
feel and help the South, and we want a
friend, if we cannot put a brother in the
White House.

SOMETHING ABOUT NAccIS ATIoH.-
Vaccnation-now so generally practiccd
as Il protection against that terrible dis
ease, smallpox, was discovered almost by
accident. Previous to the year 1896. in
sHcuiation WINS the only,known method of
diminishing the danger attendant on
smallpox; for it was believed that all
must have the disease III some way. Dir.
Edward Jenncr, in inoculating his pa
tients for smallpox, found that many
did not take it. Inquiries among the
country people developed common be-
lief among them that those whose bust
ness it vas to milk cows were seldom
afflicted with the disease; and further in
vcsiigation proved that incubation did
not take effect in those who had accident
ally taken "cow-pox." Jenner followed
up the idea thus suggested by expert
mcnts; but his belief that vaccination
from the COW i'll the first place, and then
from one person to anothcr--would pro-
tcct against the smallpox was ridiculcd
as an nbsurdity for sixteen years. He
pcrsercrcd, however, and in 1896 vacci-
mated boy eight years old with matter
taken from mlk-maid's hand. The
child recovered satisfactorily, and was
Immediately inoculated for smallpox,
but without the slightest effect. Jcnner's
discovery then became widely known and
practiced.
Although medical opinions vary some
what in regard to this subject, it is pretty
generally agreed that if the protection
afforded by vaccination is not perfect it
is superior TO any other known; that al.
though the operation, once performed,
often fails to afford complete security,
yet it generally mo1iiics the disease,
rendering it comparatively mild and safe;
and many physicians are of opinion that
ifthe virus is thoroughly inserted until
It ceased to affect the system, the person
is protected for all times as cliectually as
he would be by an attack of fsmall-pox.

EX-GOVERNOR IsHAM G. HARRIS
He COrrects a Misrepresentation as 10 the
Rejection Of Proxies In the Late
Convention.


MEMPHIS, August "a, lSz2.
To the Editor of the Nashville Banner
My attention has just been called to q
communication, signed Democrat
which appeared in the Banner of the
twenty-third instant, in which / find
the following statement:
1.-THE delegations arrived and the con-
~ventiOn was organized. 1t was Dol as
certained that, Notwithstanding all the
packing that had been done, johnson
would be mighty in the convention.
Nearly, or quite, all of the counties fOl
Chatham were represented by dele
gates, but not so with the counties for
Johnson. Most of these counties were
far removed, and the delegates, being
farmers and mechanics, had neither the
time nor the means to attend the con
vention, and nearly all of these had sent
their proxies, with instructions to vote
for johnson.
This presented the grand opportunity
to slay the giant and make sure the vic
tory of the ring The Committee on
Credentials reported that mo delegate
should be permitted to cast more than
one proxy for any one county, and this
report was adopted. This most remark
able and manifest unjust action declared
nearly the entire vote of many Johnson
couRties, where the delegates from each
civil district had sent their proxies to
some one to vote them.D
If Democrat" is as unfortunate in all
the facts upon which he bases his i'll
natured criticisms upon the convention,
as he is in the statement quoted, his
communication is entitled to very little
respect.
As Chairman of the Committee on
Credentials, 1 beg to assure Democrat"
and all others interested, that the Com
mittee on Credentials did not report
THAT no delegate shouldbe permitted to
cast more than one proxy for any one
county" Nor did the convention adopt
any such rule. So far from it, l distinct
ly state, that there ads not q single PROXY
rejected that IA presented to the Com
mftee on Credentials, and the whole
vote to which each county was entitled
was allowed to be cast, in convention,
by such delegates or proxies as were
accredited from such county. Hence
there was not a single county in the
State, having either delegate or proxy at
Nashville, that could not have been
fully represented in the convention by
such delegate or proxy under the rule
adopted by the Committee on Creden-
tials and approved by the convention.
Respectfully, IsHAM G. HARRIS.

the forward one suddenly stopped, and
the driver of the one behind had not
time to pull up before a collision seemed
inevitable. The mule took in the situa-
ton at a glance, and being determined
not to be damned up, he quietly stepped
into the forward car, to the consterna-
ton Of a number of ladies who occupied
seats near the entrance. The driver was
soon made aware Of what vas going on,
started his car forward, and his muleship
got down to mother earth and trotted
leisurely away.

MUSEMENTS
The Grand Opera.House

Inc GFHnu Opera-ktOuse
is now approaching completion. The
finishing touches are now being made to
it by first-class artists who have been EN-
ployed upon it for thepast three months.
To attempt to give a description of it,
would be next to impossibility, hew-
ever we viii attempt to give an idea OF
it. AS a matter Of course the stage IS
fhe first thing that meets the eye upon
first entrance, it has been raised two
feet higher. deepened eighteen feet, and
has added ten feet in length, making
the stage fifty feet in front, thirty-fve
feet in the opening between the edges of
the proscenium, forty feet deep and fifty
feet high from the floor to the lower
edge Of theproscenium. The p%roscenium
is ten feet wide. The changing of the
stage was planned by the splendid man
ager and mechanical artist, Mr.. j. A.
Turner. This has been a very difficult
"job" and by the execution of it Mr..
Turner deserves much praise. The cut
ting out of the timbers for circles on the
prOscenium, we understand, would not be
undertaken by any firm in the city, on
account of risk in running it,
but Mr.. Turner who is equal 10
any emergency, took the job in hand
and did it in first-class style.
The p%aintingof the proscenium, scenery
and curtains has been in the hands Of
Angelo Weiser, whose work is equal,
we think, to Receri of Paris, or Voge-
ian of New York city. His painting of
the procenium is a gem of art. In the
circle, at the top, are three panels, the
center one containing a group of musi-
cal instruments; the side panels have
immense stars in the center, from
which, on arms, hang pendant two
massive chandeliers. The stage has
many full sets of scenery, painted by
this eminent artist, all of which are
painted in a style that only a true artist
can boast. The frescO artist, Mr..
Frederick Volknar's work, it would be
hard TO speak only in the best of terms.
His work, unlike most of German work,
partakes more of the Italian style, hav-
ing those delicate tints that make a
theater look so brilliant at night; his
work is on the backs and ceilings Of the
dress circle, family circle, gallery aud
ceilings. Altogether, his work is beau
tiful and uniqe in design. Mr.. Turner
leaves Tomorrow, for St. Louis, to pre-
pare DeBar's Operahouse, in st. Louis,
ready for the coming season, which
on the second of Septem-j
Der. On account of the gas-workS not
being done in time, the proposed light
of the OperahOuse tonight is de-
ferred until it is done, to which only
the "pressn is invited. To Mr.. J. A.
Turner, the manager, Angelo Weisner,
and Frank Volknar the highest praise
IS due.
