CIScTSxArt, Sept. 6.-Another young
man, Jas. Myers, Of Gallipolis, Ohio, who
has been temporarily employed upon the
iil.iated steamer Porter, died Of yellow
fever yesterday. Considerable uneasiness
Is felt in that region, yet no one has been
taken sick that has not had something to
do with that boat. A large amount OF bed
mattresses, and the like was
thrown overheard from the boat when in
charge OF DR.. Carr, and it is thought that
the people down the river caught them as
they tioated down and have them on their
fences, intending to make use of them
after frost.

The signal gun of the caniFaign wes
fired here tonight, and the Congressional
canvass fully opened by arousing speech
from DR.. ]. I. Updegraff, the Republican
nominee for Congress in thisdistricts An
immense audience gathered in the City
Hall to greet him. Among the number
we noticed several lights Of the opposition.
Col. Poorman presided and appropriately
introduced the Doctor, who proceeded at
once TO warm to his work and make things
lively for the Democracy. He devoted
himself principally to- the finances, the
great theme on every hustings nova;
days, and, among other things, re-
viewed the history Of panics in this
country since the year 1872 clear
down to the one Of 1873, under
which We are now ,groaning. He showed
clearly enough that we had commercial
reyulsions and great seasonsof business
disaster before John Sherman was ever
heard of-before he was born, for that
matter. These panics occurred under
Democradcrule, beforethe days Of Repub.
licans or Radicals, and they were just as
severe and disastrous, and asyPt9tracted
too, as the present panic. rst
This is one Of the several nuts that the
Doctor gave the Democracy to crack, and
i don't think they will succeed in cracking
them very soon. He will address the
people Of MartinsEerry Saturday night.
Three hearty cheers and Q, tiger for our
candidate is what the Republicans down

"of all the contrivances for cheating the
laboring classes OF, mankind, none has
been more effectual than that which de-
ludes them with paper money. It's the
most effectual Of inventions, for fertilizing
the rich mans field by the sweat Of the
poor mans brow. Ordinary tyranny, op.
preston, excessive taxation, bear lightly
on thenasses OF the community, compared
with the fraudulent currencies and the
robberries committed by deprecated pa
per money.
eWe,have suffered more from this cause
than from any other cause or calamity. It
has killed more men, pervaded and cor
rupted the choicest interests OF our coun-
try more, and done more injustice than
even the arms and articles Of our enemy."

Closing Exercises Of tho Term

Closing EXERCISES OF tho TERM
Our space forbids fun report of the
closing examinations of our city schools
Friday; but we learn that quite a
number of visitors were present in the
various rooms, and the exercises in all
Of them were varied and interesting,
rejecting much credit on both pupils
and teachers. AT Supt. Davis Office ex-
animation occurred in algebra, philoso-
ply, geometry, ancient history and
word analysis. In the high school and
grammar grades at the Constitution
street school house, Mrs. Morse and
Miss Watson teachers, the recitation ex-
ercises were varied, by music and by
reading and essays from the following
pupils: Compositions-Ida Moore,
Eva Collins, Grace Hood, Carrie Morse,
Ormie Perley and Vernie Kellogg.
Reading-Mamie Eastman, May Ran
dolph All the Rotations in this de-
partment indicated thorough drill in the
subjects taught, and great proficiency
on the part of the pupils. In the other
rooms the programme consisted mostly
of class drills and reviews, with literary
exercises at the close. We cannot par
ticularize as to these, but learn from
visitors that all the grades fully sustain
ed themselves in creditable examine
