WHOLESOME MEATs.--In connection with
the smallpox epidemic in London, the re-
markable fact has been noticed that only
one case of this frightful disease has engaged
the attention of the medical officer of the
Jewish Board of Guardians. The same ex-
emption from epidemic diseases has been
noticed among the Jews in all countries, and
it is attributed to their mode of living 1t
is an interesting question in sanitary point
of view, to what extent mortality from such
diseases may be limited to pork-eaters. An
important feature of Jewish diet, and one
to which the Gentle world pays too little re-
gard, is the scrupulous care exercised in the
matter of meats. In consonance with their
religious laws they use extraordinary pre-.
cautions to secure the meat of animals that
are in a perfectly sound and healthy condi-
ton when killed. In New York markets
they deal only with certain butchers, who
provide them with meat from animals Sc
ected and killed under the conditions OF
Jewish rules

THE SOUTHERN QUEsTIoN.-The South
ern questions which have occupied the at
tention of President Grants administration,
at times causing great perplexity and en-
barrassment, must now come up for settle
ment. On these, of course, the party press
must exercise its prerogative of free, indie
pendent expression. But let all confidence
be felt in the present administration. Presi.
dent Hayes is Republican-has never been
anything else. He is in full sympathy with
the patriotic and unsectional aims of his
party He can, therefore, be trusted with
an assuring confidence, such as few public
men are able to command. During the first
two years of the administration of General
Grant a great deal of uncalled for suspicion
and adverse critsism of his acts, and of what
he was expected to do, were set forth. This
weakened confidence, excited apprehensions
and injured the country more than it clouded
his fame 1t was IA cruel and unnecessary
iuhiction upon him and upon the country as
we'll Let no such injustice be done to the
present Chief Magistrate.

TRAMP, TRAMP.-Central New Jersey is
grand highway for tramps, and general
arrest of them was made in a number of
places, in the hope of abating the nuisance
At Trenton, ON the 10th ult, one hundred
and eighteen tramps were arrested arraigned
and sentenced to ten days imprisonment
The result exceeded the officials expecta-
tions, but il was the taxpayers who were
terrified The stream of tramps showed no
visible dminution, and the same average
dodgers slept in the station houses and got
their breakfasts. The expense of the one
hundred and eighteen arrests amounted TO
one thousand one hundred and sixty-two
dollars and twenty cents, almost ten dollars
each, being charged for justices, constables'
sheriifs aud other fees. Some new plan will
have to be adopted. The march across New
Jersey exceeds one thousand five hundred
per day.

HOMES OF OUR PREsIDENTs.--For the sec
ond time in the history Of our country Ohio
furnishes President. The former instance
was that of General Harrison. Our older
readers well remember the exciting incl
dents of the campaign of 1910. What a
Juror of enthusiasm swept General Harrison
into the Presidency How overwhelming
the majority he secpred But hardly month
after his Inauguration before the successful
candidate lay cold in death and not year
passed before the enormous majority which
exulted in his election had melted away like
snow-bank uncovered to July sun. Let
us hope that as there is so grave disparity
between the majority for Hayes and that for
Harrison, there may be a marked unikeness
in their fate. May our present President be
spared to the end of his term But New
York, which is the home of our Vice-Presi-
dent, has furnished several Vice-Presidents
Aaron Burr, George Clinton, Daniel ID.
Tompkins, Martin Van Buren,, and Willard
Fillmore, have preceded Mr. Wheeler in hold
ing the office in question. And two of them
became Presidents; one by election, the
other by the death of his Chief. But we
hope that Mr. Wheeler may remain simply
Vice President till the close of his fouryears

WELL ANswERED.-A good story is told
by the Washington correspondent of the
Tribune concerning the reply of President
Hayes to a band of Pennsylvania politicians
A crowd of Cameron men called on him to
urge the retention in Office of Pennsylvania
favorte sou. Some of them had been in the
Cincinnati convention as delegates, and they
took pains to inform Mr.. Hayes that he owed
his nomination wholly to their support. 1t
required great deal of nerve they said, to
go against the instructions of their constit-
uents and vote for him, and they were afraid
after the convention to return home and face
the anger Of their people "Did under
stand you to say that you disregarded the
wishes of your constituents" asked the Pres
ident in his most gracious manner. "Thats
just what we did," replied the Cameron del
egation "Then ! must say, gentlemen,
that you did very wrong" said Hayes, dryly,
as he dismissed them.

Disaffected Republicans.

We have no doubt but there were great
many honest Republicans who felt that I'M
der the administration of President Grant
grave abuses had grown up, and feared their
perpetuation If the Republicans were to sue
coed themselves in another administration.
However, the selection Of President Hayes,
and his admirable letter Of acceptance, won
back to the Republican fold ninetenths of all
those who had been honest in their detection,
and the newly elected President had no more
hearty and ardent supporters than among
those who four years ago supported Horace
Greeley. There is another class, however, OF
what is commonly known as "disgruntled "
Republicans, who forsook their party and
went over to Tilden, counting confidently
upon his success, and upon the flesh-pots he
was to bestow upon them. To alarge majority
of them the election of Hayes was as gall
and NORWOOD, and they are as bitter as
they possibly can be. The old-line demo-
Gratis are bitter enough, but their bitterness
is sweetness itself compared with that Of
these untimely seceders, who thought the
Republican party dead, and prepared them
selves to dance on its grave. Their disap-
pointment is all the harder to bear because
their candidate for the Presidency has come
out of the conflict with a reputation so bad
as to leave him no hope of future prefer
ment. What would not such men give now
if they had had the sense to support Hayes =?
They have made their bed and must lie down
in it, but OH how they do weep and howl

During the last twenty-four hours the country

In upon them in large Numbers, and, by noon Of
Saturday, the opposition to the batch of nomina-
tons was literally dead. When the Senate went
into executive session at noon, not one Republican
Senator voted against any of them. There were
two democratic votes against Eyarts, one against
Schurz and two against Key. Conkling, Blaine
and Cameron and three or four other Republicans,
declined To vote at all on some Of the nomlna-
tions Int that was the extent Of their opposition,
II is regarded at Washington as great victory
for the President for he has not attempted TO in
fuence a vote nor has he for "a moment lost his
temper.
II is very evident that Hayes has comprehen-
siye pocy of administration, and that he will
not be turned from executing 1t by the clamor of
the politicians but he will be cautious and slow,
especially in his Southern policy. lie is equally
firm in his purpose TO reform the civil service, as
will soon appear.
A Washington correspondent says There is
considerable comment, altogether favorable, upon
the action OF the Senate. II il now the impress
sion that the administration will, without delay,
put into effect, through the various executive de

Individually knowing each member of the

men for their places have myself felt the
necessity, in a position which | held some
time ago, to select advisers from section of
the country which was not very well repre-.

necessity of getting advice from the best
men of the South, and am very glad to be
able to say, knowing very well the nominee

Mr.. Hayes has nominated-I am very happy
to be able to say that he was for the last two
years one of the most trusted advisers of all
wishers of good government in Washington"

CHEAP SPIrE.-The editor of the New
York Sun, who, it is said, has for some time
had his eye on the colectorship of the port
of New York, was so disappointed by the de-
feat of Mr.. Tilden that his paper came out in
mourning last week Saturday, and on inau-
guration day the flag on the Sun building was
displayed at half-mast, with the Union
down. The Sun was in favor of the Electoral
Commission with proviso-that it counted
Tiden in. Mr.. Dana has suffered GOOD
many political disappointments within the
past eight years, but somehow they don't
seem to make him a better or a wiser man.

profession. Among our townspeople
he was highly respected for his pleas
