The ''Plague.'

A copy of the Seaport Appeal, a paper published in Brunswick, Ga, sent us by friend. tells of the terrible ravages of yellow fever in that place during Septem Der and October. It appears that a few cases occurred in August. Suddenly cal. most in day, nearly half of our remain ing population were stricken down with the dread disease" There were no prep arations, no trained nurses, and no phys icians who had ever seen a yellow fever epidemic before. Trains were loaded with refugees. With whole families pros trated by the disease. and death rate of five to ten day, the place seemed doom cd. The Episcopal minister returned from @ short absence to find hls wife dead of the epidemic and buried. The editor of the local paper, one of the phys. icians, and even the undertaken, were among the victims. Only one doctor was left to care for over 600 yellow fever patients. The chief hotel had seventeen inmates down with the disease at one time. Soon, however. relief began to arrive from abroad, doctors, nurses, and supplies came in, and from Maine to California came cheering words of sympa- thy and supplies" Nearly every city in the Union contributed to the relief of the fever stricken people. Cooler weath. CT has at last checked the epidemic, but refugees are warned by the Board o Health to remain away till heavy frost. make 1t safe for them to return.
 Among the plucky citizens who remain ed, and attended to the sick and tool their chances of disease, was Charles P Goodyear, Esq, native of Washington in this county, of whom the friend referred to writes us as follows:
 |. He went to the war as private; became e captain of negro troops; was the frs man in Richmond, and brought off som, keys of Libby Prison; became an officel in the Freedman's Bureau tn Virginia removed to Brunswick, Ga., where he Ii a lawyer, clerk of Circuit Court. and Il now secretary of Boards of Health ant Relief Having dled of yellow fever. h, objected to his coffin; got up and went t, editing the Seaport Appeal, upon tn, bona tide decease of it's editor.

The Republican side of our House of Representatives is stronger in talent as well as in numbers than has heen the case for several years. The speaker will pro- bably be Lynde Harrison; of New Haven (nOminally of GuilfOrd). He is a shifty little man, of much tact and some ability, who has been for several years chairman of the Republican state committee and leader fthe party in the House. Judge Wiley, of East Haddam; David Gallup, of Piainfisld; S s. Cotton. of Pomfret; H. M. Cleveland, of Brooklyn; and l.. w. Cutler. of WatertOwn. are among the we'll kBOwn Republicans. Messrs.

Messrs P0sd. of the Hartford District; and Hunt ing4oa, of the Sixteenth, are the other most noted Democratic names. On the Republican side. Messrs. Converse, of the Twsatisth. and COe. of the Fifteenth, are among the most prominent names.

 One thing, thank Heaven. is tolerably certain,-the anti-Bristow crowd that have infested the capital for the last three years are likely to have a sorry time of it, whether Hayes or Tilden is elected. And they seem to feel it, too. With Tilden they will make no fight. but will get out of his way; at first they will try to coax Hayes to retain them, but one by one they will be dismissed into obscurity.

WE are grieved To see The Gold

allude to this paper as one-horse

ambiguous at best, but we presume
il means that THE TINES is not as
good paper as The News. which
implies that the latter is at least a
two-horse concern. Newspaper val
ues are always relative, and since The
News has seen fit to compare us with
itself We may in return compare The
