ments.

Diphtheria is prevailing as IN epidemic in New

died of it. This disease has become singularly
prevalent in New York during the last fifteen
years. prior to which it was so rare that few ply
sicians had ever seen a case Of it. The causes
are understood to be foul air and bad drainage,
or precisely the causes which produce typhoid
fever. 1t is, however, much more contagious
than the latter disease, and it is probable that
large proportion Of the cases recently reported
originated from contsgion rather than from the
poison developed by decayipg organic matter.

THE CONVENIENT OF LONDON.

tOO41cSpoOuCuSG wow AOAA WOAiu.l
LONDON, Oct 24.-The project for extend
ing the municipal government of the square
mile which comprises the city of London
over the $50 miles that are contained in the
metropolitan district, begins to attract atten-
ton and discussion. The draft of the bill
for the accomplishment of this change has
been printed, and it will be laid before Parlia-
inert early next session. London-that is,
the vast collection of cities that goes by that
name-has population equal to that of the
whole of Scotland It contains almost as
many people as live in the whole State of New
York. Its wealth is far greater than that Of
all the dominions of Queen Elizabeth. This
vast province has scarcely any government at
all, and no uniform government whatever.
The city proper is ruled by the companies
the other portions of the metropolis are only
vast parishes. governed by parish vestries.
There are many reasons to believe that if a
proper system of centralized municipal gov
eminent were invented and put in operation
for this vast province, decided advantages
might follow; but at the same time, one can
but feel some dread at the thought of what
might happen if when such government
had been established, it should fall into the
hands Of "a ring" Rings" are not un-
known here. The fear of such calamity has
caused the plan for the new government to
be scrutinized with great care One OF the
amendments already proposed to it is that,
while the Lord Mayor and Common Council
may be elected by the rate payers, the judges
of the courts, the Superintendent Of the Po-
lice, the Treasurer, and some of its other Off
GERS should not be elective, but be appointed
by the crown, holding their Offices for life or
during good behavior. The suggestion is
apparently a wise one. Responsibility to
the people" is very good thing; but the
people or large share of them-have
often had cause to wish that their public ser
wants were independent of popular clamor.

After having been assured on the most emf
nent authority that the Democratic party was
net only dead, but was a "putrid reminis-
cence," and after having been assured on
equally eminent authority that the Republ-
can party had accomplished its mission, it is
somewhat distncting to be convinced that
within . week the Democratic party has
achieved an astounding victory, and that the
Republican party has received significant
rebuke We take it that, as political party
can have no existence separate and apart from
the men who support its principles, recog-
milton of the Accomplishment of its mission
would hardly be given by those who had
helped it on the mission kicking it out OF
doors; and, though We have heard OF dead

THE RETURNING BOARD.

The Radical Returning Board meets to-day
in the building used in part by the usurping
Governor as State House, and in part as
garrison for the United States troops, whose
bayonets frown ominously at such citizens as
dare to enter.
A Returning Board is an entirely useless
body, body which is altogether unknown to
any other State, save and except poor South
Carolina, body which is foreign to the ge-
MUS of American liberty, and which was crea-
ted during the reign of thieves and tricksten
for the express purpose Of setting aside the
verdict of the people Is expressed at the bal
lot-box, and Of substituting therefor the will
Of those in whose interest the State is run.
In ancient Rome the patricians held all the
Offices, declared who should be rulers, treated
with lofty disdain the just complaints Of pie
bians, and declared that the latter had no
rights that the former were bound to respect
The condition Of affairs here to-day is strik-
ingly analogous. Our State Offices are filed by
men who have seized them with bayonets
against the expressed voice Of the people, and
every right Of citizenship has been trampled
upon by them in the most audacious and con-
temptuous manner.
The people, when they humbly petition for
their rights, are treated with dsdain or loaded
with insults, and are only needed when they
make their power felt, as upon the 18th Of
last September-a day which will be ever
memorable in the annals of history: The
Returning Board is the last hope of beaten
and dispairing faction. To it the Radicals
look for salvation from the doom pronounced
against them at the ballot-box.
The members of that Board are all Radi-
Gals and all old wire-workers whose names
have been draggled in the mire Of politics fr
these many years, and they are confidently
expected by their party to SO manipulate the
returns as to achieve victory for Kellogg and
Grant. If they are wise they will heed the
voice of the people of the whole country and
be just, Il, on the contrary, they falsify the
record or change the result Of the election TO
suit their own purposes, then they will re-
ceive, not alone the condemnation Of the peo-
pie here, but of all fair men everywhere. The
Scratcnlng Of inquire OF tne oraSuro VI
word will be crime too great to be forgiven.
In this connection We note the following in
the New York Tribune Of the 9Th inst:
A desperate plot to make a majority for the
Kellogg party by fraudulent counting is de-
scribed in our New Orleans dispatch. Large
numbers of Republican tickets have been
printed since the election, for the purpose, it
is believed, of being counted by the Return
ing Board as ballots cast. The Conservatives
are watching this process with great anxiety.
1t is rather late in the day to attempt repe-
titicn Of election frauds in Louisiana, and We

quietly and effectively As in 1872

The rapid decline Of the Republican party
recalls the memorable words OF Mr.. Greeley,
written in reply to the charges brought
against him on the occasion of his becoming
bail for Mr.. Jefferson Davis. To the narrow
minded people who opposed this generous act
he foretold result which they have succeeded
in bringing about.
"Your attempt" said Mr.. Greeley, "to
base great, enduring party on the hate and
wrath necessarily engendered by great civil
war, is IS though you should plant COLONY
on an iceberg which had somehow drifted
into tropical ocean,
The prediction Of the great sage Of the 7rib-
,sss has proven correct. The iceberg has
melted, and the party and an the hopes and
promises with which it was freighted are left
struggling in the waves or drifting with the
currents to an unknown fate. The policy of
wrath and hatred seemed to them best for all
purposes. 1t brought for the time money and
votes, and they did not stop to inquire how
soon it would exhaust its credit and leave
them political spendthrifts, bankrupt alike in
fortune and in fa,ne.-iS Louis Times.
