The statement that yellow fever 'spreYafls"
at any Southern port, or that the Treasury de-
psTtmeut has received information to that
effect, Is authOritatively denied. On the cou-
trary, the health Of Southern cities is excep-
tonally good for this season Of the year. But il
is also true that yellow fever vessels, in some
cases totally disabled from the ravages of the
disease, are continually arriving, threatening
the widespread Introduction Of this terrible
scOurge. 1t was with the view Of avoiding such a
calamity, with it, consequent prostration of
business and material vital losses to the whole
country, that the Secretary Of the Treasury
deemed it his duty TO enjOin such coop GRAFTON
on the part OF United States ON Gals with local
health authorities as he IL empowered 10 90 By
the act OF February ., 1899, an act which has
been ga dead letter" upon the statute books
until the publication Of the recent order con-
OeTning the duties OF United tates officers with
relation to quarantine and the public health.
This action Of the Secretary IL a wise preeau-
ton against the causes OF a'srm, sud should not
be tortured into a "sensation."
The state election OF Maine for Governor,
legislature, Congressman (ive), y =, occurs ON
Monday next, the 18th. There is little ex-
citemert over the contest and a light vote il
expected, with probably more falling of on the
part Of the majority, the repub Hcsns, than on
tnat OF tneIf OppOhShts. Inc recent southern
outTsges will, however, il is thought, elect the
whole republican ticket without any doubt. As
the y. Y. RsTa33 says, Southern Outrages Just
now are esteemed a godsend to the northern
republicans" 1t is odd that the southern poll
ueians tOn't see the point. They used 10 be
better tacticisns in ante beIlum DAYS
.
ire trouble with the Corco-an Art Gallery
and in fact the making of art selections on be-
kaf OF government seems tn Ia that fba
management Of the whole affair has not been
placed in the hands Of a few New York picture
dealers and little clique Of Newspaper cart
critics" who stand in with them on what thew
are Jointly able to foist upon the public. Until
this is done il will be useless to try to please the
young men who have taken upon themselves
the duty Of regulating the esthetics Of the coun-
try. But the public ought to know what's the
matter.

THE NINTH DISTRICT.

The communication signed GA
CONSERVATIVE" TO be fonnd on
this page Of the News, is written
hv one of orr clearcst thinkers and
ablrst men, and is worthy Of care
n. and Thoughtful Perusal. His
logic is good and his conclusion in
cyitable. If the intelligent voter
could satisfy his mind that no radi-
cal candidate would be run, the
conclusion is unavoidable, that each
independent candidate would bid
for the vote of that party, and the
one on whom il could be concen-
tra.ed, would be the successful one.
Thus the radical party would elect
the Congressman, and he would be
under such obligations to it, that his
services would be lost to ours. 1t
will be idle TO say that we can thus
set our prominent men of the dis
trict to blowing with the cnemy'S
hcifer, without involving the integ-
rity of the party. There is no rea-
son why we may not have a per-
fectly fair convention. And the
way to have it is plainly pointed
out in the plan ofthe central com-
inittee, and is alluded TO by our
correspondent.
This bidding for the radical vote,
is mean and demoralizing enough,
but even that base and dishonest
luxury may not be accorded us if
we fail to nominate for the Novem-
Der election, for we verify believe
that in scrub conservative race,
radicals will nominate and elect
their man.

whatever ability | possessed. Sir, |
flatter myself, and invite the strictest
scrutiny of the records of Congress,
that no district in the South since the
war has received from the Govern
ment more aid than the first district of
Tennessee. l may have committed
errors and have not succeeded in all
that desire for my district, but / did
all | could. What lacked in ability
/ endeavored to supply by fidelity and
industry.
But, sir, my place is wanted, and in
order to obtain it L must be gotten out
of the way ana the way opened to some
who have no claims either upon the
party or the people, nor can have, al d
to others who now enjoy place through
my aid and influence, and the question
is often asked, can it be so; and, if so,
0. what base ingratitude! But Mr..
Speaker, / have confidence i'll my
district. / have never betrayed, and
never deserted them; some of them
have known me from bOyhood and in
every relation of life, and it is those
who always sustain me as unit. In
conclusion / will say, If | may not be
regarded as egotistical, that If l have
not accomplished much for my district.
i'm the name of all that is sacred and
dear, what could those who are now
clamorous for my place accomplish i'll
Congress for any people?

do now adjourn.
The motion was agreed to +; and ac-
cordingly TAT nine O'Clock and forty
minutes p. M the House adjourned.

ON n Nominating Convention.
Mr.. EDITOR.
l suppose the Conservative people
of this District do not intend to COM
~mit, hdri kari, that is self destruction
in the coming Congressional election,
merely to accommodate one or several
aSpirants whose inordinate desire for
office might lead them for the chances
of scrub race as between themselves,
to hazard the loss of the District. And
this too, the Civil Rights Bill and
such measures pending, or continually
arising i'm Congress.
Admit. as we must, that there are
evils and grave ones in Congress,
oceasioned mainly. by the war, by the
unpatriotic workings of candidates or
their friends TO pack them, and that
they often result in the defeat of the
best man, and therefore the least for
ward-and frequently in that OF the
strongest. overpowed like Gulllrer, by
Lilliputian Combiu taions against him.
Still, no evil in them, or of them is
worthy 10 be balanced FOR q moment
against the election OF Radical can,
dldate. The choice of the last Con-
Nention may be cited in illustration.
zen. Bowen was not the best man, in
the sense of efficiency, or the strongest
IN point of popularity, but yet what a
gain it was to have secured him for a
REPRESENTATIVES honest, independent,
Intelligent and Conservative, against

radical misrepresentation of Con-
