prevent others rendering due obedience 10
them; and tho satisfaction Of these con
spirators against the laws Of the land and
the happiness Of mankind, should at
once determine you to unite with
the National party, which Is organiza Il
to protect people aganes the encroachments
~ this power, that cares nothing for the ruin
ot ali things else so long MS II may fattPn
upon the wreck of industry. The power for
evil of these creatures OF law must be
crushed. You can never reach or control IL
through either the Republican or Democratic
organizations. 1t charges the former party
with being the agency through which the
money power makes Its contest with the people
on the issues now pending, and the leaders of
the Democratic party with being willing allies
OF the Republican party, at this moment
seeking to array the people In wicked and
ruinous contest Of a solid North against n
solid South, well knowing that such contest
Is mere pretegt and cover for their real pur-
pose, which is the continual supremacy OF the
money power and the further ruin OF the
people.
The address concludes: I'VE therefore urge
upon you to organize n National party at once

The San Francisco BuLLetin, the organ Of G.

phatic statement that HuntipgtOn's fixed pro-
gramme is to build the Central Southern Pa
Topeka and Santa Fe Railroad, and that TO
accomplish this he proposes to get Congress
this winter 10 transfer the entire land grant
Of the Texas Pacific Company to his corpora
ton and kill Off that road. In considering
the subject of n Southern tran5-coDtinental
railroad the New Orleans convention should
also consider how much Of . Southern trans-

build by running his road through Kansas.

RESOLUTION LOOKING TO A Ma

LATE EPIDEMIC.
The Plan YrOpOsed-N0 objection To "
In Either HOuse-A Liberal Gontin-

Especial to the Democrat
WASHINGTON. Dec. almost the first
thing after the Senate was called to order to
day Senator Eustis introduced a Joint resolu-
tion for the appointment Of commission,
consisting of five Senators and five Repre-
sentatives. to inquire into the cause and CON
ditlon of the late yellow fever epidemic. and
report upon the same for the guidance Of
Congress in taking such steps as may be
necessary to prevent tho recurrence of the
ages. There will be no objection to this prop
osition in either House, md the commission
will be appointed Immediately.
The plan, as intlmated by the provision for
the employment Of experts. "a to give the com
mission preliminary power to call In all pos
sble scientific aids in the prosecution Of the
inquiry and an ample contingent funt, will
be placed at the disposal Of the committee to
be used in obtaining opinions, advice and q
general cooperation from eminent medical
gentlemen qualified for such service by nc
tuaI experience In fact. il seems to 30 the
intention to form sort Of staff of experts,
composed of The ablest physicians in the cpl
denie regions, and let them conduct the ex-
uIififi tilt HhbHVilbY VI tbiH ttNN
delegated 10 them by the commission.
This. after careful consideration. has been
determined on as the best and most feasible
II not the only method. by which thorough
scientific inquiry can bN instituted under the
authority and Mt the expense Of tho govern
mont
Many other plans were suggested, among
which was that oF authorizing the President
to appoint board Of physicians to carry on
the investigation independent Of Congress. I.
but Mr.. Hayes preferred to leave the whole
matter in the hands OF Cong gss mainly ON
the ground that in view of the jealousy among
the members Of the medical profession. the
task Of appointing the members of the sug-
ges'ed board would be very difficult and har-
raSsing. The congressional commission. how
ever, having unlimited power to employ and
pay experts in the prosecution, to the extent
of their experience and the consequent value
Of their services, will not labor under tho
above mentioned difficulty, and hence tho
plan outlined in Senator Eustis' resolution
was adopted.
Neither labor nor expense will be spared In
making the inquiry as exhaustive and the re-
port as conclusive as 1t may be within the
scope OF human skill and scientific learning
to accomplish. BUELL..

The Vote of south Carolina.

The whole vote in Charleston this year is
506 tess H,on the whoLe rote IN 1876. There is
no vestige or evidence OF ballOt-box stuffing,
by wholesale or retail, for it will hardly be
asserted that the Radicals stuffed the boxes
at the election two years ago. The vote In
the city this year is larger than at the preced-
ing general election Mackey explains this
in his letter. Thousands Of negroes, as he
admits and We know, came over from the
islands to vote in the city. There is no accu-
rate census Of the population If the whole
