Prevention of Scarlet Fever.

The Board of Health of Boston has
caused copy of the following circu.
lar to be rent to every householder
in the city. By previous circular,
physicians are directed 60 report at
once every case # sickness from this
cause:
Scarlet Ferer Tue Board Hesl n
issues The following circular Of rec
ommendation with the hope that
those not familiar with the care of
scarlet fever, may be benefited there
by: Scarlet fever is like small. pox
in it's power 10 spread rapidly from
person TO person. II is highly con
| tagious. The disease shows iis first
signs in about one week after expos.
| ure, IS general rule, and persons
, who escape the illness during fort
ght after exposure, may feel them
selves safe from attack. Scarlet fever,
scarlatina, canker rash, and rash fe-
yer are namss of one and the sans
dangerous disease. When case OF
SCARED fever occurs in any family,
the sick person should be placed in q
room apart from the other inmates
of the house, and should be uursed
as far as possible by one person on
ly. The sick chamber should be
we'll warmed, exposed TO sunlighi,
and we'll aired Its furniture should
be such as will pei nit Gle ear sing with
out injury, and all extra articles,
such as window drapery aud woolsn
carpets, should be removed from the
room during the sickness The
family should not mingle with other
people. Visitors to an infected house
should De warned Of the presence of
a dangerous disease therein, and
children, especially, should not tie
admitted. On recovery the sick per-
son should not mingle with the well
until the 'roughDess of the skin, due
to the disease, shall have disappear.
ed. A month is considered an aver
age period during which isolation is
needed. The clothing, before being
worn or used by the patient or the
nurse, should be cleanssd by boiling
at least one hour, or if that cannot
be done, By free and prolonged ex-
r1sure TO outdoor air and sunlight.
The wails Of the room should be
dry-rubbed, and the clothes used for
the purpose should be burned with
out previous shaking. The ceiling
should be scraped and whitened; the
floors should be washed with soap
and water, aud csrbolic acid may be
added to the waLer-one pint to three
or four gallons. The infected cloth
ing should be cleansed by itself, and
not sent to the laundry. In case of
death from scarlet fever, the funeral
services should be strictly private,
an d the corpse should not be expos
ed to view. Because children are
especially liable to take and spread
scarlet fever, and because schools af-
ford free opportunity for this, the
Board OF Health has excluded from
school every child from any family
in which case of the disease has oe-
Cured, and has decreed that the alb
sence shall continue four weeks from
the beginning of the attack, except
in cases subject to the discretion of
the Board, and that the scholar to be
admitted TO the school-room, must
have the certificate of q physician
that the required time has passed.

WASHINGTON. March 10.
Postmaster General Key is likely
to disappoint good many who have
opposed his appointment on the
ground that he was Democrat. He
states tonight that he does not intend
to make any recommendation for the
office of First Assistant Postmaster
General and the subordinate officers
in his department, but viii leave that
for the President. The office OF the
First Assistant is the appointing
officer, whose selection the Postmaster
General ou'y indorses. This Office
appoints all except the 1000 Presi-
dental offices out of the 10000 Post
masters. The political power is real
ly vested with that officer, and that of
fcer Key says he neither expects to
select nor control. As to the South
Key will give it special supervision,
appointing men recommended by bus
mess men and Chambers of Commerce
in preference to the nominees of the
politicians.

SOUTH CAROLINA AFFAIRS.
Letters of stanley Matthews aud VIM. NJ

COLUMBIA, S c., March l0.-The
following letters are made pubic to-
day by Gov. Chamberlain, at the
special request OF Stanley Matthews,
and are the letters alluded to by
Blaine in the Senate on the 18th inst /:
WASHINGTON, March 6, 1878.
Hor. d. H. Chamberlain, Columbia, s. O.
My DEAR SIR have not the honor of
personal acquaintance wi tn you, but have
learned to respect you from knowledge of
your reputation. take the liberty of address,
ing YOU now with distrust of propriety of do
ing so, prefacing 1t by saying that speak with
out authority from any one, and represent on
ly my own views The situation of public af,
fairs III South Carolina is too complicated to
be discussed at length in note, and yet it im~
presses me as one that ought to be changed by
the policy Of the Republican statesmen in
such way a. not only to remove all contrO-
rersies that disturb that state, but to remove
all emharrassmehts arising from it to the party
mother parts of the country. 1t has occurred to
me to suggest whether, by your own concur
renee and co operation an accommodation
could not be arrived at which would obviate
the necessity for the use of federal arms to
support either governments, and leave that to
stand which was best able to stand by itself.
Such course would relieve the administration
from the necessity, SO far as the executive as-
ton is concerned, of making any decision be-
tween conflicting governments and would
place in the position of making a sacrifice of
what you deemed your abstract rights for the
sake of the people of the community, which
would entitle you to the gratitude not only Of
your own party, but the respect and esteem of
the whole country. ] trust you will pardon the
liberty have taken as my motive is to pro-
mote not only the public but your own person.
RI good. With great respect.
STANLEY MATTHEWS.

following lines by Evarts:

ton Message.
GRAND COMMISSION.

Nothing Indicating How Soon u Deci-
sion VIII be Reached in the Florida
Case.
The Electoral Com mission met at 10
a. m. The court announced that two
directors on each side would be al
lowed to speak on each case.
Congressman Field spoke in support
of his objection to the count OF the
Republican vote of Florida. Abiding
to the action of the boad, he said tho
evidence showed the throwing out Of
precincts upon the mere belief that In
timidation had been practiced. He
argued that the present question before
the Commission was whether, In the
face of such testimony as this, it can
be claimed that the face of the returns
are conclusive and binding. The usual
form of stating the certificate is an
erroneous form the question should
be revised so as to read, "Can the GER
tificate go behind the truth and conceal
it?" There is no pretense that the
vote of the State was not given for
Mr.. Tilden, the sole pretext for deny.
ing it being the certificate OF Governor
Stearns.
Mr.. Turner, of Virginia, followed
Mr.. tield OH the Democratic side. In
concluding his objections, he gave
notice that as soon as the court should
prescribe the mode, they were pre-
pared to unkennel the frauds and lille
gality which attend the title of the
claimants.
Messrs. Kasson and McCrary fol-
lowed on the Republican side.
This closes the objections. To-
morrow evidence will be read, and the
case will proceed under the manage
ment OF the lawyers.
Mr., Kasson argued strongly against
going back Of the action of the return
ing board.
There is nothing in the proceedings
to indicate how soon decision will
be reached.
