COZ. j. j. Shannon, editor Of the lie
ridian Romestead, has returned from
TIE Centennial. In speaking Of Ms,
sissippi Headquarters, he says:
We we've greatly disappointed at the
Mississippi Headquarters, and regret
that the State went to the expense OF
erecting 3 building at all, unless it
could have mad u better one, and one
that would have been more credltable
t. the State. Ihe building is Of poles,
with the bark on, put together in three
ways, perpendiculary, horizontally and
diasonalIy, and quantities Of moss IS
suspended from the roof. Inside 1t IS
sealed with different kinds OF wood, i is
said over sixty kinds. The appropna-
ton 10y the State was not sufficient to
furnish the house inside with properac-
commodations, snd the fact is the Mis-
sisslppi House at the Centennial IS the
most inferior one, III every respect, On
the grounds. We,think 1t would have
been decidedly better to have mad no
house, and to nave made no attempt at
representation, than to have made the
State ridiculous.

4 st. Louis correspondent of tho

Anew era has dawned upon us. The
Democracy now, for the first time since
1856, enters the Presidential campaign
confident Of success. the battle will
be long and bard; it will be stubborniy
contested on every inch of ground from
now until November. But although
Hayes and Wheeler form the strongest
ticket that the Republican party could
have placed before the country, the De
mocracv will win the fight, and the
nominees of the st. Louis convention
viii restore the Prcsideatie! Office, to
the dignity aud decorun Of which it has
been 50 long deprived.
So far little has been said of Hayes.
I give y0n an anecdote that a DO him
no harm. I have it from Il friend Of
mine who was au officer in The regiment
OF the theL Colonel Hayes, and who
tells it rs an occurrence within his own
knovledga. When Col. Hayes with his
regiment went into West Virginia early
in the war;, one night = large number Of
negroes left their masters and sought
freedom III the Federal camp. The
next day Col. Hayes sent every ono
back TO his owner, saying that he was
there to fight for the Union aud not Tor
tbs abolition of slavery. On hearing
this the Cincinnati people became ln-
,iignant, and teIegraphed to my INFORM
ant to ascertain if the reports were true.

Gov. TiIaen's Acceptance.

In his reply to the committee APP
pointed by the st. Louis Convention,
informing him of his nomination for
President Of the United States, Gov.
Tilden said:
The strength, the universally and
efficiency of the demand for adminis-
tiative reform in all government, and
especially in the administration of the
Federal government, with which the
Democratic masses everywhere were
associated, have led to n series OF sur
prises in the popular assemblages and,
perhaps, in the Convention itself. 1t
would be unnatural, gentlemen, if a
popular movement, so genuine and so
powerful should stop with three mil
lion five hundred Thousand Democrats;
that it should not extend by contagion
to that large mass Of Independent vo-
ters who stand between parties in our
country, and even to the moderate por
ton of the party under whose admins
tratiou the evils to be corrected have
grown up; and perhaps in what We have
witnessed there may be an inquiry in
respect to what We may witness III the
election about to take place throughout
our country. At least let rs hope so
and believe so. / am not without eXpe-
rience of the difficulty and labor OF
effecting administrative reform, when 1t
requires a revolution in politics and in
policies and in measures long establish
ed in government. If | were to Judge
by the year and a half in which [ have
been i'll the State government, L should
say that the routine duties of the trust
that / have had imposed on me ore a
small burden compared to that created
by the attempt to change the policy Of
the government of which | have been
the executive head. Especially is this
so, when reform is to be worked with
more or less of the co operation Of pub-
lie officers, who either nave been tainted
with the evils to be redressed or who
have been i~ncapacitated by the habit Of
tolerating the wrongs to be corrected,
to which they have been %conscnting
witnesses. [, therefore, if your choice
should be ratified by the people at the
election, should enter npon the great
duties which would fall upon me, not as
a holiday recreation, but very much in
that spirit Of conversation IN which Il
soldier enters battle.
He stated he would prepare a formal
acceptance OF the nomination, the
speech quoted above being ~extempora-
neous.

Small Pox.
From letter sent to the Common
wealth's Attorney by Justice Jacob Lantz,
we obtain the following particulars con-
corning the prevalence of small pox;
'eThc small pox is spreading to an alarm
ing extent. We have used every means
to check it, but it was so long before it
was known what the disease was that
others had been there and are now taking
1t. l learn this morning that one of
Thomas Hotties sons has it. 1t is now in
tour families, kibler's Allison's, Cline
dinst's and Hottel's, In all about IA cas- es
some Of whom had been vaccInated and
the small pox did not appear, they only re-
manned sick a few days showing the
symptoms. -
We have been trying ever since Tues
to get some one that has had the small
pox to go to Mr.. Allison's and help him
attend to his family and could get 10 one.
He is broken down and cannot manage
them. They are Eighty or delerious.
There are in this quarantine three families
that must be waited upon, and are not
permitted to come out. We have now three
guarantees and will establish another to
day, as the families cannot be moved.
Some persons have acted very imprudent-
~. They have been in families where
the disease is. known to be and have been
mevin & about from place to place in de-
flancc Of the law.
