The scourge of tna nnnlh

LL
Atlanta constitutional
It matters comparatively little
where the yellow fever originally
came from. It does not lessen its
terrOrs to know whether it first
came from the West Indies or West
Africa. 1t concerns us to know
that after the germ of the disease
is brought to our shores, its devel-
opment to the epidemic point de-
ponds upon a low elevation, high
temperature and a heated atmos-
|phere. Heat and humidity are
alike essential. 1t is never conta-
gious, but it is terribly infectious
under the circumstances named.
and its progress from the roint of
infection steady and generally sure.
In the city its progress is about
forty feet a day, and it is therefore
called the creeping plague. It is
well established that the infected
atmosphere lies close to the ground.
a high wall often arresting its bro.
gress. In no instance has the dis
ease assumed an epidemic form in
the United States where heat and
humidity were not. combined. It
has rarely prevailed to a dangerous
extent away from large bodies Of
water. 1t has never become cpl
demic in this country at an sleva-
tion greater than 460 feet above the
sea level. 1t han appeared as far
north as Quebec and Halifax, but
in all of the Northern visitations
1T religiously chung to the water
side. Fort Smith in Arkansas.
46O feet above the water level Of
the sea, is the highest point at
which the fever has ever prevailed
as an epidemic in this country.
We state these facts to show what
nature has done for Atlanta. She
has given as a site 1850 feet above
the level of the sea, an elevation
which forbidS the propagation Of
the dreadful fever, even if well
coined by the most shocking sani-
tary abuses, Filth can bring to
our doors dreadful diseases, but the
plague Of the tropic is not one of
| them.

The War Upon National Bank Currency.
Washington, Feb. 10.-The House
committee on Banking and Currency
to-day authorized its chairman, Buck
ner, to report his bill, which proposes
to substitute for national bank notes a
new description of treasury notes,
which shall be receivable in payment
of custom dues and all claims and de-
mands against the United States, eX-
cept obligations made payable in coin
by existing laws, and shall be receiv-
able at par for four per cent. bonds.
The committee previously heard the
Comptroller of the currency in an ar
gument against the bill. He contended
its enactment would be an infringement
Of vested rights; that the Government
has no constitutional power to take
this action in regard to national banks
while their charters continue in ex-
istence.
The Senate committee on finance will
take up the House bill for the repeal of
the specie resumption act on Tuesday
next. t.

Getting Ready to Ballot for a New Pope
Paris, Feb. 19.-Bishop Dupanloup's
organ says a large majority of the con-
clave seem secured to partisans of
status quo. Only two cardinals appear
to advocate a further struggle. About
a dozen are inclined to more or less de-
cided conciliation. \ correspondent
says: The uncompromising party are
divided, some favoring Cardinal Bilio for
the Papacy and some Cardinal Simeoni.
The moderates hesitate between Cardi-
nails Pecci and Franchi. The first bal
lot will be held to-day between 10 and
IL O'Clock. The only cardinal who has
not arrived or is not expected is Cardi-
nal Godfoi Brossais st. Marc, who is i'll.

KAN SAS
A Declination.

PAoLA, Feb. 19.-Mai. b. +. Simp-
son, of this place, whose name was
sent to the Senate last Friday for U. S.
marshal of Kansas, has telegrapled to
Washington that he positively declines
the appointment. This is the second
time that Ben Simpson has declined
the marshalship of Kansas, one of the
fattest offices in the state. During the
last three days, congratulatory tele-
grams and letters have been pouring in
OIL him from every direction, and he
has been inundated with applications
for deputyships. Letters from some of
the strongest men in Kansas urge him
to accept, ,'but the Senator cannot see it
in that light.

INQUIRY among large number of
the silver men in the House of Repre-

fact that very few will make any serl-

motion to take the silver bill from the
Speakers table for concurrence in the
Senate amendments. Judge Buckner
will move to refer the bill and amend
ments to tho Banking and Currency
committee because he feels bound to do
so on account of yesterdays action of
the Silver Union, but he will not advo
cate his motion, and there seems to be
NO considerable probability of its
adoption, as great majority of the sill
yer men did not attend the meeting
and will not consider themselves bound
by its recommendation. The general
expectation is therefore that debate will

days and that before the expiration of

Probable Immense Immigration of Chinese
London, Feb. 19.-It is stated on
authority which cannot he questioned
that seventy millions of human beings
are now starving in tho famine stricken
provinces of north China. The Times
in an article about the Chinese famine,
says: We cannot doubt that if the
Chinese have found their way to Amer
lea from the comparatively prosperous
eastern provinces in thousands that
they will pour forth in myriads from
the famine-stricken districts of the
north of China as soon as the way is
opened to them. The Chinese difficult
ty may speedily become greater men
ace to the future of the United States
than the degree Of difficulty was at its
worst for negro immigration, which
ceased with the abolition of the slave
trade, while if the Chinese tide once
begins to flow in force, it is difficult to
see where and when it will stop.

terview with President Hayes, last
night, he received the assurance that
the administration had never contem-
plated any interference by the United
States courts, or otherwise, with the
action of the courts or state govern
ment Of Louisiana, and that while the
President regretted the prosecution of
Anderson and Wells, it would not
alter his course toward the state or peo-
pie of Louisiana. 1t was matter
which involved their honor, and he
trusted their honor. Ellis also stated
that he fully informed the President of
the condition of affairs in Louisiana,
and corrected what he (Ellis) consid-
cred errors and misstatements of Sec
retary Sherman and others in regard to
the returning board trials.

A British Opinion.

London, Feb. l9.-The Post i'll its
leader relative to the possible advance

Russians now affect to consider that
the advance of our fleet has turned
their positions. They are apparently
disposed to occupy Gallipoli unless we
agree to give them guarantees against
our further advance. Such guarantees
would be found in Russian occupation
of the forts OH the Bosphorus or in a
promise by England not TO enter the
Black Sea.

Moss was assassinated at his home in
Venice, Illinois, about l O'Clock yester-
day morning. He had risen to take
some medicine, when he saw two men

his professional services, and one of
them Immediately fired, shooting him
through the heart. Several men have
been arrested on suspicion, but the
mystery is still unsolved.

Austria's Attitude.

Vienna, Feb. 19.-Prince Duersperg,
president of the Austrian Council of
Ministers, in reply to an Interpolation
in the Reichsrath to-day, said that the
government, on being informed of the
preliminaries of peace, frankly stated
its position regarding them, declaring
that it could not consider as binding
any arrangement between the bellige-
| rents affecting the interests of this
monarchy or the rights of the sigma
tories of the treaty of Paris as long as
such arrangements were not agreed to
by the powers at the same time the
government took the initiative in the
convocation of the European confer
ence. The standpoint of the govern
ment regarding the peace basis and its
proposal for the assembly of the con-
ference were accepted by all the cabi-
nets. Russia declared in favor of Il
congress-nOt conference--and that
/ IL should not meet in the capital of any
signatOry state. Negotiations on this

We expect an early meeting of the con-
gress, consequently the government is
not in position to make Il detailed
statement of its views. 1t il bound.
however, to declare generally that 1t
cannot regard some of the peace stipu-
lations as consonant with the interests
of the monarchy. This reservation does
not apply to the amelioration of the
condition of the Christians, but to
such provisions as might involve the
alteration of the balance of power in
the east to the detriment of Austria.
The government confidently hopes
that the European council will reach
an understanding and solution salts
factory to all. In any case the govern
ment will consider it its duty and mis-
sion to secure due reconsideration of
the political and material interests and
dignity Of monarchy.

London, Feb. 10.-While all indica-
tions point to a peaceful settlement of
the Eastern question, there is no doubt
that Austria, like England, is prepar-
ing for war in case the present nego-
tiations fail. At Pesth 0,000 troops
have been quickly assembled, and con-
tracts are made for forwarding provi-
sions to them if they should take the
field. Two camps of 10000 men have
also been established at Poprid and
Polosa, near the Galliciau frontier
