TIE spREAD OF DIPMFHERIA.

The spread Of diphtheria in portions OF
the North has become 80 alarming - to
exercise the Chief Magistrates of several
cities. to issue strict sanitary rules. In
Patterson, New Jersey, it has become epi-
demic. To such an extent does it prevail
that a New York exchange in referring to
the spread Of the disease, is lead to say:
Presently the returns of the Registrar OF
Vital Statistics in this city will be heavy
with the numbers Of the innocents stricken
with this disease. Yet there is hardly
anv reason Why this should be so. lfven-
tilation is attended to, and cleanliness pre-
served. the disease can be kept in abey-
apce and It's ravaxes summarily checked
The disease is not peculiar to the poorer
sections Of the city. The homes OF the
rich are visited quite as often as
those of the poor. The ill-advlsed
and imperfect construction Of even
the best of eur houses, the ignorance of
greed of the plumbers, and the inattention
given to ventilation by so many people
are the direct causes Of this scourge. How
many are there who have the remote'
idea of the direction Of the various waste
pipes through their houses? Very few
we venture to say. And another thing
During the winter months windows are
rarely opened, and for months the children
Of the house breathe vitiated atmos-
phere. All these tend to the increase OF
this foul disease, and when it is developed
the wonder is, how it was contracted. BY
using the simplest precautions now the
diptheria can be kept in subjection. And
now is the time to think about it.

THE RETURNING BOARDS.

A knowledge Of the material that COM
poses the Returning Boards Of South
Carolina, Louisiana, and Florida, certainly
gives Ills but little reason to expect honest
dealing in the ceuut Of the vote Of those
States. In Louisiana as we have said
before the Returning Board is composed Of
the Collector Of the Port, candidate for
the United States Senate and two negroes
In South Carolina the Canvassing Board
is made up in its majority by men who are
candidates upon the State ticket. With
influence which must everwhelm them in
their decisions there is no reason that we
should expect an honsst count Of the vote
In Florida there is minority Of Demo-
Gratis on the Returning Board, and We car
hope for nothing favorable from this State
| In South Carolina the full Bench Of the
State Supreme Court is hearing argument
on the powers and functions Of the Return
ing Board, and has ordered the member
of it to show cause why mandamus should
not issue forbidding them to exercise othe1
than ministerial functions in canvassinl

WHAT WAS ASKED FOR.

The National Woman Suffrage Asso-
citation asked the Republican National
Convention to place the following plank
in their platform:
"ReSOLUed, That the right to use the
ballot inheres in the citizen of the
United States; and we pledge ourselves
to secure the exercise of this right to all
citizens, irrespective of SEX"
The twelfth plank was substituted.
Delegates from the same Association
presented the following to the National
Democratic Convention, asking it's in
corporation in their platform. 1t was
received in silence:
WHEREAS, The. Democratic party
was first to abolish the property quail
tication and extend the right of suffrage
to all white men in some of the older
States; and
WHEREAS 1t was a Democratic
Legislature that extended the right of
suffrage to the women of Wyoming;
therefore
"ReSoLved, That we pledge ourselves
to secure the right of suffrage to the
women of the United States on equal
terms with men,"
We will publish, as soon as space will
permit, the addresses of this Association
to these Conventions, which accompa-
MED the resolutions above given.
