The Supervisors Of Franklin county

Several persons have asked if there
would be a meeting called to nominate
a candidate Tor the LegisIarure TO M
the vacancy occasioned by the death of
Hon. J. S. Magee. The Banner says
the Chairman of the Executive Com
mittee has the matter under advise
ment, and the probability 10 that there
will be meeting called as soon as the
Governor issues writ of election.
The Banner says few days ago,
while Mr.. John @. Graves. his son and
two or three colored men were loading
a wagon with corn, In the field, large
limb fell from tall gum tree standing
near, killing one of the oxen hitched
to the wagon and iniuring another so
that it is thought he will die. Mr..
Graves made very narrow escape. He
was standing in the front part of the
wagon, and hearing the whir of the
limb falling through the air he looked
up, saw the danger, and jumped to the
ground just in time to save himself, as
the limb struck exactly where he had
been standing.
The Board of Supervisors of Franks

quested to be in attendance, and if
they desire to present for the consider

after giving due notice for sealed pro

OUR WARRINGTON LETTER:
WASHINGTON, Oct. II. 1878.


So far as reports have been received
the contests of yesterday may be set
down as drawn battle. The Demo-
Gratis probably saved some Congress

hope the Republicans had of control.

tives. This is certainly of great i'm
portance. Que State, at LEASH from
having majority Of Republicans in
the next House will have majority of
Democrats, and that will be q still
greater Importance, if the election of
a President should be thrown iuto the
House of Representatives, where the
vote is by States and not by inaivid,
ual members. On the other hand the
Republicans have shown an unexpected
vitality in Iowa, Ohio aud Indiana 1t
is evident that in all three of these
States they have. since tho campaign
opened, steadily worked to restore the
ancient party harmony, and have snc-
ceeded beyond expectation. What the
effect will be on the November cleo.
tons cannot yet be told. It can be
estimated pretty accurately after fur
Their details Of yesterdays vote are re :
ceived. So
The two parties-it seem that after
yesterdays failure of the Third Par
ty' hardly worth while mention it
will now devote themselves to the Mo-
vember States. Probably Now York,
Pennsylvania and Massachusetts will
be thoroughly canvassed, and. indie
pendent of any effect of the Septem-
Der and October elections, there has all
along been a reasonable chance of
Democratic gains in the first two men,
toned
When Congress met in October last
there was concurrence of opinion
among several prominent Democrats of
the House that saving of $50, 900, 900
a year in the expense OF the General
Government could be made without
any interference with the necessary and
efficient operations of any Department,
and there was substantial agreement
to work for such reduction. The i'm
possibility of arranging details, the
antagonism of solid Republican par
ty and the perversaness of a few Den..
ocratic Representatives, prevented the
accomplishment of result which would
have given relief to every tax payer in
the Union. From an experience of
eighteen years in and around the De
partments, and always with facilities
for acquiring Information on these sub
jects, am sure that the proposed RI
duction could be made with entire
safety to all branches OF the Govera-
ment. Let some Democrat who is ia
miliar with Government affairs more in
the matter, and let Speaker Randall
give in Committee of earnest men,
and your correspondent will pledge
himself to furnish information on which
large share of the savings may be
made.
The steamer now going down the
Mississippi to relieve, with medicine and
food and clothing for the sick and huns
CRY and naked victims of the fever, will
be followed by others if the necessary
funds are forthcoming, as no donbt
they will be. By this means towns out
of the way of travel at this time will
be reached. and the precious freight of
the boats do work which must other
wise have been left undone. The idea
originated in Washington and much of
the necessary funds and supplies were
contributed here. Il.

Up to this'hour We have not heard OF
case Of yellow fever within the border
OF Lincoln county, though it surrounds
us in three directions, and unless the
people exercise great vigilance.it will be
almost certain to cross the line. Not
withstanding the fact that the quaran-
tine ordinances have been re-enacted
by the Board of Supervisors, several
persons have come in the county from
infected districts. The law makes it
the duty of every officer and citizen to
arrest parties c,ming in the County
from places afflicted with yellow fever,
and it is the duty of every one anxious to
keep the plague from his house to see
that the county quarantine ordinances
are enforced. Rather than have such a
sconr2e as is now prevailing in Clai-
borne county, it wonld be better for every
citizen of Lincoln to leave his business
and guard the county line day aud
night, for month, if necessary. We
could afford to undergo any hardship
to keep the yellow fever from orr
county.
The patriotic citizens of Brookhaven
have organized guard that stands
both plight and day on all tho roads
leading to town. aud the Board of May
or and Alderman have passed an or
dinancc prohibiting any train to stop
within the corporation, but the county
is unprotected. It now behooves the
citizens Of the county, especially those
living on the line, to organize and pre-
vent suspiciouss parties entering it.
1t has been suggested that the Board of
Supervisors meet and prohibit any train
stopping in the county. It is impos-
stble to exercise too great caution.
