THE YELLOW FEVER COM,
MISSION.
A National System of Quaran.
tine Recommended.

MEMPHIS, Nov. 16.-Tho Members
of the National Yellow Fever Com.
mission departed last night for Rich.
mond, Va. In their report to be
made they will advocate a system Of
national quarantine under the direc-
ton of the United States Govern.
ment. The Commission are convin-
ced 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 importation. What
ever doubt there may be in the case
of New Orleans, there is no doubt
but that it was carried from New Or.
leans to every other point. The dis
Ease does not seem to be prevented
from prevailing epidemically, either
by the distance from the seabeard OF
the distance above the sea level, as
under FAVORABLE circumstances for its
dissemination it might prevail in any
part of the United States. Hereto
fore the Seaboard guarantees, as faI
as the Gulf of Mexico is concerned,
and making exceptions this year In
the case of Texas, have been made
quate to prevent the introduction of
the disease. The difficulties Of inland
quarantine are so many and so great
in cases of towns on the Mississippi
river, or in cases of towns having ex-
tensive railroad connections, as to be
almost practically impossible. With
this view of facts, the Commission
are of the opinion that the only re-
liable protection to keep yellow fever
away from this country is a system
Of strict national guarantees.

Advice 10 Young Men.

One of the most fatal mistakes, and a
common one, leading to many others,
which we have often heard with
amazement, is conveyed in the almost
proverbial phrase: 1.-THE world owes
me a living" The world does not owe
you a living. 1t is not debtor to you,
but you are debtor to it, and you can
not work too hard TO discharge your
obligation. ItnOt only does not owe
you anything, but it is not going to
pay you anything unless you earn it
by hard ticks, industry and attention
10 business, and just so long as you
pursue such a course in life it will pay
you.
We are none Of us going TO thrive ex-
cept by work, not waiting for this or
that TO turn up, not by this or the other
"a to help you, not by expecting to
be lifted or pushed into success. There
are "Micawbers" waiting for some
thing TO turn up all over the world
men waiting for the world to get resdy
to pay them the debt they suppose to
be due, man as contemplate as they
are miserably useless.
The fact is, this is a very busy world.
a bit selfish if you will, TOO thoroughly
absorbed in various Interests to think
much about individual men, old young.
The only thing that gives significance
to us in this world is industry, fidelity
and work.
Another thing. Young men study
too much Of politics. Daniel Webster
in his advice to young men on this sub
ject says: 81 am not unaware, and it
would be affectation in me to deny it,
that have public reputation to leave
TO posterity; but it has beer earned
with difficulty. If | were to live my
life oyer again, / would, under no cir
cumstances, and from no considera-
ton, allow myself to enter public life.
The public are ungrateful. The man
who serve the public most faithfully
receives no adequate reward. In NY
own history those acts which lave
been, before God, the most disinterest-
ed and the least stained by selfish con-
sideratiOns, have been precisely those
which have been most freely abused.
No, no; ! ave nothing to do with poll
tics-eat the bread of independence,
support your family with the rewards
of honest toll, do your duty as a pri-
yate citizen to your country, but let
politics alone. 1t is a hard life-a
thankless life"

"The recent elections hare clearly

TENNESSEE DEMOCRACY
As Viewed by a Democratic Paps

As Viewed by a Democratic Paper.
Under the head Of "R~epudiating the
State Democratic Platform" the Jack
son Wing prints an editorial from the
Nashville Banner bearing on the spmer-
salt Of the american on the financial
question, aud then goes OH to say:
"The above, taken from a Democrat
lie paper, verifies our prediction made
before Judge Marks delivered a speech
in the campaign just past. We took the
bold ground that the platform adopted
by the Democracy of Tennessee was a
delusion; that they were not sincere
but were pandering to the popular
breeze to check the tide Of the Green
back sentiment until the November
election,
When Judge Marks delivered his
opening speech at Franklin, he ar
raigned "the third party in Tennessee
for not having a platform in harmony
with the Toledo platform, adopted in
February, 1873, and labOred most earn
estly to prove that his platform enun-
ciated the same principles and advoca-
ted the same measures that were found
in the Toledo platform. He claimed to
be the standard bearer sent out to pro-
claim peace and prosperity to the peo-
pie, through him as the next Chief Ex-
ecutive, and pledged the party in Ten
nessee to stand by the principles in his
platform. The American was his chief
organ in the State, advocating Judge
Marks as a Greenbacker, and his plat
form as obviating the necessity Of a
third party. The other Democratic
organs in the State caught the sound,
and every paper was ringing with the
Greenback doctrines; politicians
preached from the stump and the curb
stones, our sidewalks swarmed with
men ready to argue for more Green
backs, and that the Democratic party
was a better Greenback party than the
National"

The Greenback Republicans.

Special to Cincinnati Gazette
DR.. Jorgensen, Republican elect
from the Petersburg district, attributes
his election largely to his strong advo-
cacy of hard money. He says many
prominent and wealthy Democrats sup
ported him on account of the soft mon
ey and reputation views of their own
party. Two Of the Greenback Repub-
licans elected in the South-namely,
Jones, of Texas, and Russell, of North
C~arolina-are pronounced Republicans,
and their friends say they will vote
steadily with the Republicans in the
House.

The Democratic Candidate for tho Presi
dency.

The Democratic Candidate for tho Presi-
dency.
The Boston Traveller of the prospective
Democratic candidate for the Presiden-
cy says:
SIN the first place, the possible hard
money Presidential candidates of the
Democratic party are nearly all, for
one reason OIL another, under a cloud.
Mr.. Tilden has been ciphered to death
Mr.. Bayard will fill the bill excellently
well, but his candidature, under pres
ent circumstances would bring the SOL
id South into the forefront of the bat
tie, and that means sure defeat for the
party in whose support the shotgun of
the red-shirts has been so efTectually
used. To the West, then, Democracy
must turn for its standard bearer. The
West is the hot-bcd Of imitation theo-
ries, and its support a only be pur-
chased by trucking to the "Ohio idea"
When the bargain between the hard
money men Of the party in the East,
and the soft-money men in the West
has been struck, and Mr.. Thurman or
Mr.. Hendricks put forward MS the
champion of the constituencies COM
promise, what will follow? Parties
may trade, but people will not always
ratify the bargain. Leaders may COM
bine, but their followers may divide.
The Democracy, thus united, will
stand as the party from whom the
credit of the country and the honor of
the flag has now, rs ever, the most to
fear. The conclusion is irresistible.
Standing separate, Greenbackery and
Democracy will be defeated in detail.
Standing shoulder to shoulder, they
will be defeated together. For them
the rallying cry of the thirteen States
may be adapted thus, "United they can
not stand, and divided they must fall"

Alex. Mcclure: The people wanted
a change, but were not prepared to
hand the Government over, in all It's

General Sherman is credited with say
ing that Grant will be nominated for
President in 1880 and will be elected.
Senator Oglesby is said to have re-
tired from the contest for United
States Senator in Illinois. This renders
certain the election of Gen. Logan.
The National Republican says: New
York and Pennsylvania are solid for
Grant in 1880. Those who do not
think so are not acquainted with the
men who are now at the front in those
States.
The New York Tribune asks: Why
not make the next Democratic ticket
Tilden and Hampton? That will con-
solidate the canvass on the two issues
of ciphering and bulldozing, and thus
put the party on its strongest grounds.
