Judge Taft, as candidate for Presi-

who know him or who have come

and though the idea of his candi-

name is favorably commented upon
by Republicans, who coneede that
there is a strong possibility of his

SOUTHERN MEN IN CONGRESS.

The New York Herald, commenting
on the constant cry Of Republican jour
mails, that our congress Is composed OF
rebels, and the many attempts to alarm
the people of the South, and excite hos
tility to southern people prints the follow
ing truthful language in its editorial col
nmns:
This is very unworthy plea, aud is,
besides, more calculated TO offend decent
and thoughtful Republicans than to win
votes. The war is over. What the best
interests OF the country demand is
that all parts shall send their
ablcst men to congress. In
the southern states, as every body know,
and as General Sherman and other Union
officers long ago recognized. the brains
aud ability did go into the rebel army. 1t
is very natural, therefore, that men who
served in that army should now be chosen
to 20 TO congress. Ii Is not only natural
bu; right. Brains. ability, influence,
character. must tell in every community.
and ought to. Ii is the fault
of the Republicans themselves
that the brains OF the southern states are
now so generally ranged on the Demo-
cratic side. With only fairly good man
agemcnt q large part OF the most iniluen-
tial southern politicians and statesmen
would to-day be firm Republicans. But
they have been rejected by the Republi-
can leaders. and this is one of the blum
ders which the wiser Republicans, among
them Governor Hayes himself, now
openly recognize. To cast suspicion
upon such men is not good policy

YELLOW FEVER SAVANNAH.

Captain Joseph Lenow. citizen OF

ages of the yellow fever in that city in
1878, watched the progress of The disease
from its commencement to the close,
telegraphed 10 Edward c. Anderson,
mayor of Savannah, that the inhabitants
should be removed from the Infected dis

said:
"Disnfectants will do no good. 1t

necessary use force, and thus thousands
OF lives will b. saved. This Is and will
be our experience and work if we are
