WHEN the recent Democratic Convention
in Alabama took pains to ''renew the pledges
of protection to all colored people" it select
ed a very significant method of reminding
these same colored people just what they
needed TO be protected against. Southern
Democracy is about the only danger which
has ever threatened the negro, aud it will
hardly assure or encourage him to hear
Democratic Convention holding up its hands
and swearing, "We'll protect you from our
selves" But lest the negro should fail to
comprehend this delicate hint, the conven-
tion went on TO remind him Of the great re-
suits which have been achieved and can alone
be maintained by the union of the great gov
erning race-the white people Of the coun-
try" About the surest way to introduce the
negro into politics rs an issue, is to try to
drive him out of politics as an individual; and
those excitable citizens who are rending their
garments because they have convinced them
selves that it is depraved Republicans who
aIe striving to resuscitate The race question,
should calmly consider the import of these
resolutions. A large amount of first-class
Cancellation has evidently been wasted on

OUR WASHINGTON LETTER.

WASHINGTON, d. c., September 12, 1878.
A picnic on grand scale and of several
days duration was given last week by the
Butchers of this city, in the form of
barbecue, the scene of action being
Schuebzen Park, the Germans pleasure
ground, mile or two out of town. The
entertainment furnished substantial as we'll
as pleasing amusement, in that each day
bullocks and oxen were roasted whole, and
distributed free to the hungry ones pres
ent.
This Park is fitted up for pleasure par
ties better than any other in town, having
eating houses, swings, bowling alleys,
dancing pavilions, and other good time ac-
cessories. 1t is owned and for the most
part used, by German Schuetzen Verie n
but is occasionally rented for some such
purpose as that mentioned above.
Another of our popular pleasure reports
is the swimming school. 1t is a recent es-
tablishment only having been in operation
few weeks, but it bids fair to become
favorite as we'll as healthful place of re-
sort. One serious accident has already oc-
CURED there, owing to carelessness on the
part of the victim, however. The bottom
of the pond is concreted inclined plane,
the water being feet deep at its shallow
est and 8 feet at its deepest.
Welfare having most delightful weather
since the three uncomfortably warm days
that saw August out and ushered Septem-
Der in. On the whole our summer has
been quite bearable one for this
climate. liI
President H Hayes has recently made the
longest speech he has indulged in since his
Inauguration. His Western trip has been
one of much distinction and elate through
out. The party consisted of ten or doz-
en- persons, congenial, friendly, famous
They travelled, of course, in special pal
ace car with every accommodation for COM
fort and convenience possible. The excur-
sion must needs be enjoyable. People who
are not over friendly towards the Admins
tration do say that Mr.. Hayes possesses
neither originality of thought nor oratori-
cal ability, and that his late speech was
but rehash of Secretary Sherman's re-
port. However, nobody denies that the
Presidents party has been enthusiastical-
ly received at all his stopping places. And
little episode that occurred in Minnesota
the other day pleasantly illustrated how
the very extremes of American society as
well as the grades between, are interested
and earnestly trying to help the fever-suf-
fering South. The President came upon
the platform, at one of his receptions, with
a bible in his hand which he informed the
crowd was the only possession of poor
man who wanted to contribute something
for the yellow fever sufferers. 1t was sold
on the spot for one hundred dollars where
upon the throng of people shouted loud for

A Coal Pit on Fire.

LONDON, September LA frightful
colliery explosion occurred to-day at
Abercarne near Newport, in Monmouth
shire. There were 81 men in the pit,sO
of whom have been rescued. 1t is fear
ed that no others have survived, as the
pit is on fire.
LONDON, September 11.-Ten more
men have been taken out alive from the
colliery at Abercarne, but they were
much burned and the dead body of one
boy has been recovered. The fate of
the remainder may be judged from the
fact that the explorers found fourteen
horses dead only few yards from the
foot of the shaft. The air in the mine
was found to be very impure.

want good currency. With us that
means coin dollar. We know what
such dollar costs that II represents a
days work or bushel of wheat. Does
paper dollar represent any such unit of
labor No. The cost of its production
is less than one cent for each dollar bill.
Herein we certainly have great saving
"a saving of nine-ninety cents in labor
over the silver or gold dollar. After
further illustrating the subject, the Pres
ident concluded as follows: We should
remember that the necessities of trade
with foreign nations require that our
financial condition should be based upon
principles whose soundness and wisdom
are sanctioned by the universal expert
ence and judgment of mankind. Bal
ances must be settled in cash, in the
money of the world. With diminished
and still decreasing burdens of public
debt, expenditures and interest; with an
improved condition of currency and for
eign trade, we may surely predict that
we are about to welcome better times
But we must not forget that the surest
foundation of restored financial pros
perity is a sound constitutional currency
and the national credit untarnished.

President Hayes on the Currency.

MADISON, Wis, Sept. 10.-The Presi-
dent received hearty reception here to-
day. In the course Of his speech at the
fair grounds he said: Some of our good
friends think that our currency is not
cheap enough. They tell us they want
currency cheaper than gold and silver,
and of such quality that it will be good
at home although it may not be good
abroad. Truly that must be a very de-
sirable quality in currency--a currency
that will always stay by you. The
champions of this currency tell US what
they ought to have-a species Of paper
which by act Of Congress should say one

Financial Facts.

The following few facts may be inter-
esting reading for those who say the
cause of hard times is lack of money,
and who consequently insist upon an
increase of the circulating medium
The Indebtedness of the nation cul-
minated on the 31st of August, 1865
At that time the aggregate of currency
in circulation was, in round numbers,
1886, 6,O00,O 900, having gold value of S440,-
100000. The total interest bearing debt
on that day was $2,3S1 ,OOO, 900 expressed
in thousands, ,on which the annual inter-
est charge was $3.50, ,977 900 similarly ex-
pressed. From that period to the pres
ent time the policy of steadily reducing
the debt has been pursued, accompanied
by steady reduction of taxes and cur
rent expenses. Adding the non-inter-
est-bearing debt to the aggregate above
given, we owed on the 1st of August,
1S65,the enormous sum of $2,757 $3.50 900.
On the first day of June of the pres
ent year the aggregate of currency in
circulation was, in round numbers, 5S7,-
100000, having gold value of ISL ,OOO,-
600. During this period of thirteen
years the reduction of the interest-bear-
ing debt was S571, ,S52, 900, accompanied
by reduction of taxation amounting to
$247 ,52l 900, and of annual interest
charge amounting to S55,796,O 900. A
marked coincident of this reduction of
Indebtedness, taxation and interest
charge was the appreciation of the cur
rency dollar from 69.2 cents, its value in
gold August /, 1865, to 99.1 cents, its
value in gold June l, 1873.

Fever Incidents.

A Memphis paper says: One of the
remarkable features of the disease is it
that whole families have been swept out
of existence-father, mother, and chill
dren have followed each other in rapid
succession to the grave, and in several
instances several members of the family
are lying dead at the same time, having
died almost within the same hour. This
has been the case in several instances
in what is known as the infected dis
trict The list of new cases reported
shows that several members of the same

The Maine Election.

The result of the election in Maine is
rather surprising to all parties. The
Republicans are beaten and SO are the
Democrats, the Greenback party hay
ing secured enough votes to throw the
election for State officers into the Legis-
lature. The Republicans lose two men,
bers of Congress, the Greenbackers
and Democrats combining in two dis
tricts.
The House stands now, 65 Repub-
licans and Democrats supporting the
Republicans, 21 Democrats and So
Greenbackers. Five are not reported of
which two are known to be Greenback-
ers. This makes it 81 Republicans to
81 opposition. 1t is a question if some
of the hard money Democrats may not
affiliate with the Republicans. A
charge of fraud in ward 4 of Portland
leaves chance to change four votes to
the Republicans. That may give the
Republicans majority on the joint bal
lot and permit them to elect their States
officials, but it is hardly probable.
One of the peculiarities of the election
is shown by the following figures. Last
year in Maine the Republicans polled
1881 votes this year they polled $1,000
votes gain, 1851. Last year the Demo-
Gratis polled 2,l14 votes; this year they
polled $4,000; loss, ALA votes. 1t will
thus be seen that the Greenback vote
was largely obtained from the Demo-
Gratis in that state, while in other sec
tions of the Country the Republican
party is expected to furnish the Green
back vote. 1t seems certain that the
Nationals" are to be positive, but as
yet an unknown power in the elections
this fall.

Yellow Fever In Ohio.

CINCINNATI, September 1l.-There
was another death from yellow fever at
Gallipolis, Ohio, yesterday, that'of Mr..
Joseph Martin, who was watchman ON
the steamer Porter. He was taken sick
on Saturday. His body was not permitted
to be removed from the house, and the
neighbors would not allow his wife to
leave her home. Physicians will make
an effort to bury him to-day.
There is pretty general scare in that
region over these deaths. Three new
cases are reported. All the public schools
were closed yesterday, and fires of coal
tar have been burning the last twenty
four hours at the terminus of every
street opening on the river. Many citi-
zens are leaving, and business and travel
are almost suspended
Cairo, ILL.,, September 12.-Thomas
Nally, editor of the Bulletin, died to-
day of what physicians pronounced at
the last moment to be yellow fever.
Isaac Mulkey, an employee of the Bul-
Jetio, is very low with the same COM
plant. The Bulletin this morning re-
ported Mr.. Nally as recovering from
bilious fever, and until noon this was
believed to be the fact. The announce
ment of these cases as yellow fever ere
ated great excitement and many are
leaving the city tonight. Proper pre-
cautions have been taken to prevent the
spread of the infection. The publica-
ton of the Bulletin has been temporarily
suspended. No other cases are yet re-
ported ..I.
1t is stated that very malignant
type of fever has broken out at New
Richmond, Ohio, small town twenty
miles from Cincinnati up the river. OF
six or seven persous attacked up to this
time five have died. The wife of Rev.
DR.. Lowe and servant girl of the next
door neighbor died on Tuesday. Short
ly after the wife and sister of Mike
McGlone, where the servant died, were
attacked and died. A daughter of DR..
Kincaid was attacked, but recovered.
The patients turn yellow and before
they die present the peculiar symptoms
of black vomit. The physicians pro-
nounce the disease bilious fever, how
ever.
