A Memphis correspondent, re-
ferring to the national yellow
fever commission, recently ap-
pointed by the government to
ascertain the cause Of yellow
fever in the United States, and
to suggest means of guarding
against that fearful disease here
after, says: In their report to be
made they will advocate a sys-
TEN of national quarantine un-
der direction Of the United
States government. The com
missioners are convinced from
their Investigations that yellow
fever is not indigenous in the
atmosphere in any part Of the
United States, and that in New
Orleans it was caused by impor-
tation. Whatever doubt there
may be in the case Of New Or
loans there ia no dOubt but that
it was carried from New Orleans
to every other point, The dis
ease does not seem to be pre-
vented from prevailing epidem-
ically either by distance from
the sea level, as under favora-
bic circumstances for its dissem-
ination it might prevail in any
part of the United States. Here
tofore seaboard quarantines, as
far as the Gulf Of Mexico is con
cerned,. and making exceptions
this wear in the case Of Texas
have been inadequate TO prevent
the introduction Of the disease
The difficulties of inland quar-
antine are so many and so great
in the case Of towns on the Mis-
sissippi river, or in the case IS o.
towns having extensive railroad
connections, as to be almosr
practically impossible. Will
this view of the facts, the com
mittee are Of opinion that the
only reasonable protection tC

country is a system Of stric

The deprecated price Of cot

have the much to be desired ef-

great importance and necessity
of more diversified crops. The
great lesson that is now to learn
is that Of raising less cotton and
more grain, grasses, stock, etc.
To diversity their crops would
not only save labor and eX-

inducements and temptations to

The Democratic -Greenback Alliance.

1t is proposed to hold a meeting of repre-
sentative Greenbackers in Bddeford, some
day in the near future, for the purpose OF
organizing for the next campaign. A county
committee will be chosen and such other steps
taken as may be deemed necessary or expe-
dent to prosecute vigorous canvass this sum-
mer. Possibly the work of selecting Con
ference Committee to meet aud confer with a
similar one from the Democratic side of the
proposed fusion concerning proper disposition
of the spoils may be postponed to some future
time. and that important question left un-
settled for the present. For obvious reasons it
is proposed by the Greenbackers to hold their
conventions early in the season. Ex Gov.
for Governor, he having signified his willing
ness to be made martyr Of, and Gen. Sam j.
Anderson is strongly talked of for Congress.
But all these questions are to be settled at a
conference to be held in the future.
So far as this paragraph refers to Gov.
Chamberlain it undoubtedly slanders that
gentleman, who is outspoken and positive in
his denunciation of the fallacies of the Green
hackers. lie has quite recently in this city
declared himself with great vigor on the sub
ject. In reference to Gen. Anderson, it is to
be feared that the case is different. He has
been for some weeks coquetting with the
Greenbackers with the obvious purpose of at.
tracting their support to himself as candi-
date for Congress from this district. No one
who knows Gen. Anderson can be convinced
that gentleman of his education and busi-
ness experience believes in the financial
absurdities which form the groundwork of
the Greenback craze. He is evidently try
ing to bring himself into an attitude
which will be satisfactory to the allies
whom he seeks, with the least possible
sacrifice of his own consistency and convic-
tions. 1t is dangerous game to play. The
man who once begins to trifle with sincerity
is insensibly led on from step to step until he
reaches point that would have shocked him
to contemplate in advance. We have seen
many eminent men in this country 60 down
to their graves crushed and broken-hearted
because ambition tempted them from the
straight and narrow path of principle.
To those Republicans who have been led
into this Greenback business the suggestions
of the paragraph quoted above are full of
meaning. Intrigues are in active progress to
make the Greenback movement Democratic
side show. The Democrats have for years
been accustomed to truck and dlcker kind
of politics, and they are ready to profess any
theory or espouse any cause which promises
10 secure them votes, and they are equally
ready, the votes once secured, to cheat those
who trade with them. He who eats with the
Devil should have long spoon.
