The Sick Childrcn.

DR.. TAYLOR. of the Board Of Health, in
report ON the condition of the children of
the poor al this season. says he and his as
sistant physicians find very much more
restitution in the city than they have OBJ
served for years past. All those who have
had occasion to inform themselves on this
subject will tell the same story. The year
has been one of great hardship for a large
proportion of those who must earn their
daily bread by their daily labor. Their
state of poverty, with its attendant ills,
renders them and their children peculiarly
susceptible to disease
The Naccinating Corps Of the Board of
Health is now wisely giving its whole attcn-
ton TO the treatment of sick children; and
on Tuesday the Board authorized the tenn
porary employment Of competent physi-
clans 10 visit the tenement houses, pre-
scribe for the infants, and instruct their
parents as to their care, ana as To the means
OF preventing disease. With the Naccinating
Corps these special appointments will form
body OF over fifty doctors. whose duty IL
will be to watch over the health of the in
habitants Of the tenement houses. The city
has been districtcd, and to each district a
physician will be- assigned. During the hot
season last year similar measures for the
medical treatment Of the sick children were
adopted with valuable results. Inspectors
of fruit are also To bc appointed, and other
efforts made 10 check the ravagcs of the
diseases incident to the hot weather among
infants.
These steps are wisely taken, and the
physicians detailed to visit the tcncmcnts
can render efficient service. not only in treat
ing the actually sick, but also in giving
mothers, ignorant of the laws Of health,
and of the methods of properly caring for
their infants. instructions as to diet and
regimen, and rs to the means Of securing
the ventilation Of their apartments. The
| imperative need of spreading information
in regard to hygiene Wa pointed out ycstcr-
day, and We are glad that the Board Of
Health appreciates its Importance The
stupidity Of parents Is one Of the most
! fruitful causes of the high death rate among
children which prevails III New York during
! the summer. 1t j. we'll that mcthOdical
effort is made To conquer il, and to teach
those who need it something concerning the
proper conduct Of their habits of life during
Il season when especial care il required to
ward oil the assaults Of disease.

The Republican party liberated about
four million black slaves. The Republic
can party now proposes to partially ell
slave about eighty thousand citizens,
mostly whites. These citizens are to hc de-
privcd Of some Of the most essential and
most precious rights of frccmen. They are
not to bc permitted to take an active part in
political organizations. II two political
parties are arraycd against each other. and
they conscicntiou.ly believe the prosperity
OF the people. nay the very preservation of
our free institutions, is dependent ON the
nsccndancy of one OF these parties, they
must yet abstain from participating actively
in the proceedings of its caucuses or its con-
vcntions!
This is degradation; this is partial on
slavcmcnt But it is said to be voluntary.
II public officers do not like to hold Office on
this condition, we are told, they have only
to resign to escape the penalty. That doc
trine may do in a monarchy, or under any
tyrannical form Of government; but it will
not do for America. We want nothing hut
irecmcn in the United States no slaves,
whether involuntary or voluntary. 1t used
TO be said that many of the negroes We're
willing to remain in slavery. Even If that
was true, ii did not make their degradation
the less.
In Baltimore the ncwly-appointcd Colcc-
tor Of the Port has issued an order calling
attention To the circular of Mr.. HAYES, for
bidding oncehOldcrs taking part in politi-
cal organizations at is confidently cX-
pcctcd" says the supcrScrviccahlcC Collector.
"that every Custom House oilic ial will cheer
fully comply with this order Of The prcsi-
dent, and will in good faith carry it OUT
Shame on the scmhlancc OF a human being
who can write such an order as that
In Boston, if report speaks true, the facilc
Collector has gone step further in his
suhservioncy, and has actually cXactcl from
his subordnates a written pledge thnt they
will abstain from politics-that they will
surrender their manhood!
From Washington we learn that the mat
ter of the partial cil-lavcmcnt OF public
officers was up before the Cabinet on Tues
day, and decision was arrived at that all
who hold Offices ami places on the National
Republican Committee must rc-ign one posi-
ton or the other. So the partial cn-lavc-
ment goes on. There will Ice Il pcan over

NEW YORK, Sept. ia special TO the
Times from Shenandoah, Pa, dated. yester-
day says: An immense mass meeting of all
the colliery employees In this vicinity was
held 10 night on Lovers Hill. A committee
from Scranton were present and addressed
the crowd. They stated that unless the
Schuylkill miners would assist their un-
fortunate brethren in Upper Luzerne, they
would starve, as they certainly would not go
TO work unless they received an advance of
% per cent. 1--WE will not succumb, If We
dropdeau with hunger" said one OF the com
mittee. Ii was finally decided that the COM
mittee should station themselves al three or
four OF the collieries tomorrow afternoon,
and as each man received nls months pa Y
he should tear open the envelope aud give
The committee what he could possibly spare.
About Sl25, 600 will be paid out here to-Inor-
now, and ii Is pretty certain that at least
81 coo Will find It's way into the hands of This
