MORNING PRESS.

The Bee continues its review Of the candi-
dates for the Governorship before the Baton
Rouge Convention, and endeavors to day to give
an idea OF the gentlemen aspirants from the
country.
Judge Egan-Is distinguished lawyer from
Shreveport. and was formerly partner of Mr..
Williamson. The Bee has heard that he is a
man Of great ability, and has had occasion. to
appreciate his oratoricai talents in the Conven-
ton Of 1872.
Col J. c. Moncure-Was Speaker Of the Demo-
cratic House during the Warmoth and Carter
war. and was dubbed incorruptible at the time
by Warmoth. Everybody knows that he was
elected Treasurer in 1874 and robbed of his Office
by the Returning Board. Mr.. Moncure is re-
preached with having sided with the compro-
mise and the Estillette faction The Bee thinks
that the course pursued by Mr.. Leonard, OF
Caddo. is great weight upon the candidates
from that parish. But what initiates the mos,
against Caddo Is the movement made about four
years ago BY its people to be annexed to Texas.

Editor DenaOcrdt-Your correspondent
Citizen" Is somewhat hypercritical in
his remarks upon the fanciful phrase
emanating from rather poetical writer,
respecting the freedom Of ID. b. Penn 8
skirts from the contagion OF partisan
virus. II is, / admit, an Objectionable
phrase and quite Inappropriate, as ap-
piled to gentleman who has ever since
his appearance in public had very
distinct position rs u party man, and
who, as you sometime ago stated, had
submitted his pretensions to the de-
cision OF State party convention. This
Is the view Of Mr.. Penn's friends and
supporters, OF even those whose names
are appended to this memorial, which
names were, however, not signed. but
were ''put down" as supporters Of
Penn. 1t would not be fair TO hold
them or Mr. Penn responsible for
the poetic license of fanciful non
political writer. Nor is it just, even
to this writer, to assume that in the use
of the strong word DjrtLS, he intended
to place Mr.. Penn in the attitude in
which Citizen " would place him. A
freedom from the virus or poison of
partisan rancor and intolerance may be
well claimed for Mr.. Penn, without
claiming an exemption from any de-
cided political, and In certain sense,
partisan views. On the contrary no one
has been more'emphatic than Mr.. Penn
in his adherence to the principles, poll
cies and objects set forth in the plat
form of the party which gained the
great popular victory in 1872 Others
may have abandoned that platform and
wandered eff after false gods" but
Mr.. Penn stands now just where he
stood then. His skirts are free from

vaccination which he received then has
preserved its power and saved him from
the contdgion to which, unfortunately,
many other OF the leaders and candi- !
dates Of the party in 1872 fell victims.

THE PENN SMALLPOX.

The Board Of Health beg to report
that they have made careful inquiry
into the matter Of this disease which
originated at the st. Charles Hotel, and
they find that there is not the least
cause for uneasiness. There is an en-
demic OF limited extent, but not the
least danger of an epidemic. For the
Information OF the public, it will be
seen that the board are publishing from
day to day a list Of persons supposed to
he afflicted with the disease. Some few
OF these are genuine cases Of the dis
ease, and no doubt most Of these few
will prove fatal, but the great mass are
merely walking cases '-persons who
are frightened and imagine themselves
sick, as is the case in epidemics of yell
low fever and cholera
The board see no cause for alarm.

Another new (?) bale of cotton, which
has given rise to doubts, was offered for
sale on Carondelet street two days ago,
but did not succeed in bringing more
than about IL cents, and even at that
price had to be bought in by the con-
signees. 1t is claimed by outsiders that
the cotton was brought here from Texas
in the seed, and was ginned in this city,
and to give it the appearance of new
cotton, few green leaves Of the new
crop were thrown into the bale. But
this claim may be intended for a joke.
However, the new cotton broughta a very
low price.

THE RING sMAsnER.
Mr.. Ti1den's Reply the Gentlemen of
the Announcement Committee.

Gen. McClernand and Gentlemen OF
the Committee shall, at my earliest
convenience, prepare and transmit to
YOU formal acceptance OF the nomina-
ton which you now tender me in behalf
OF the Democratic National Convention.
I do not desire on this occasion to antici-
pate any topic whiche might be appro-
pirate to that communication. 1t may,
however, be permitted to me to say my
nomination was not mere personal
preference between the eminent citizens
OF this Republic who might very well
have been chosen for SO distinguished
rather declaration of that illustrious
body, in whose behalf you speak, in
favor OF administrative reform, with
which events had associated me in the
public view. The strength, the uni
versatility and the efficiency Of the
demand for administrative reform
In all governments, and especially in
the administration Of the Federal Gov
ernment. with which the Democratic
masses everywhere were associated,
have led to a series OF surprises in the
popular assemblages and, perhaps, in
the convention itself. It would be un-
natural, gentlemen, Ii popular move
ment SO genuine and SO powerful should
it should not extend by contagion to
that large mass of independent voters
who stand between parties in our coun-
try, and even to the moderate portion
Of the party under whose administra-
tion the evils to be corrected have grown
Aup; and perhaps in what we have wit
messed there may be an inQuiry-in re-
spect to what we may witness in the elec-
tion about to take place throughout our
country. At least let us hope so and be
lieve SO. l am not without experience
OF the difficulty and labor OF effecting
administrative reform, when it REQUIRES

The speech made by Mr.. Townsend
In the national House Of Representa-
tives, in committee Of the whole, on the
subject Of the " bill for the protection or
the Rio Grande frontier" smells strong
ly Of the Grant policy of last fall the
precipitation Of the country into q war
with Mexico for the purpose Of per-
petuating Grantism and the Radical
party. However true it may be that the
Texan frontier is frequently invaded by
Mexican bandits, it is nevertheless true
also that the Federal forces stationed
from Brownsville to the Pecot noun
talns is sufficiently strong to protect
the United States border, if they are
properly handled. This the writer
knows from the opinion Of one Of the
ablest officers under Gen. Potter, as
well as from personal observation. The
trouble lies, in great measure, In the
fact that Grant does not want peace.
and there is, besides, too much brown
brandy and mescal on the border at a
real a glass. Some very unpalatable
things might be related, resulting from
the plan OF operations along the border,
which are, however, with held in simple
consideration Of the temptations which
the superior officers permit to remain
ia the way Of the younger subordinates
Of the army especially. The troops, in
stead OF being echeloned along the
Bravo, in order TO effectively patrol its
border, and give occupation to both
officers and men, are simply stationed
in groups, in garrisons from seventy
five to one hundred miles apart-with
open accounts at the grog shops and
post traders. In January last two
promising young officers were cashiered
by court martial at Brownsville for
drunkenness, gambling with the negro
soldiers under them, and defrauding
the Government and the soldiers on
false pay rolls, all Of which resulted
from idleness. This condition Of affairs
is sincerely deplored by the better and
wiser officers who are, however unable to
offer any apology for its existence with
out rejecting upon their superiors. AS
for the colored troops, they are more
than useless. particularly for garrison
duty. How beautifully organized they
are may be judged when it is said that
on any afternoon entire companies are
represented on dress parade by two or
three dusky individuals, to the utter
disgust of their white officers.

A VOTE OF 108, 900 FOR GOV. HAYEs-TILDEN's
FRAUDULENT MAJORITY Y-INELIGIBILITY OF
DEMOCRATIC ELEoToR.
M! !Spessal Dispatch to the NeO York Times.
GREENSBORO, Nov, 26.-Returns received
show that the vote for Hayes and Settle
will reach and probably exceed los, 1000.
There can be no doubt that the Democrats
committed the most glaring frauds Til
den's majority will reach IA 600, and Vance
will run some 1000 or 5000 behind him.
The Democrats here are very much excited
by the discovery of the fact that one of the
Tilden Electors, William b. Glen, is inell-
gible. He is one of the Commissioners APP
pointed by the Southern Claims Commits
sion to take testimony. This will give one
