In speaking of the Congressional
Elections in Missis: ppi this fall.
the Cldr on makes the follow in g
timely remarks: sit is QUITE early
to agitate the CONGRESSIONAL cleo
iions; but it Is well eronelf 70 re-
mind our people that they dre 10 he
held in our State next November
aud that it is important for the
Democratic party to hold its ascen-
dancy in the lower branch OF Con
gress. The Republicans are doing
their IL most to obtain control OF
that body. Before the terms of the
next elected members expire, the
Presidential election will be held,
and II is possible that the greenback
movement may eliminate in the
running of three candidates and
throwing the election into the
House OF Representatives,. Besides,
there may be another contest over
the decision of the electoral college,
and an attic npt by the Republican
leaders to aunnl the choice OF the
people.
The Republican leaders do not
iutend to surrender their control
of the executive department of the
government without a desperate
effort; and c,rboldenel by their
success in setting aside the last
election, they will no doubt repeat
the eight by seven unscrnpulous
game, if beaten at the polls. To
checkmate them, the only hope is
in securing Democratic majority
in both Houses of Congress. 1t is
believed the Senate will be certainly
), toured. The danger is in the
House, and though the Democratic
majority in the present House did
not avail to prevent the consumma..
ton of the fraud, it is believed that
il is not possible for the people in
two successive elections to he vic
timized by the combined weakness
and treachery of leaders to whom
are confiied the keeping of great
The recent speech of Senator
Hove, of Michigan, betrays the de
termination of the Republican lead
ers. They intend TO rally the
Northern people on the old sectional
lines of hostility to the South and
the restoration of quasi-military
rule. They will select tor a leader
a man of will and courage who will
inspire the confidence of the North
prn masses and they will be backed
by the money power which has
grown rich and strong upon larges-
SEES bestowed by tile Republican
party. 1t is within the range of
that the laurel crowned
hero, Gen. Grant, with his amazing
prestige and popularity, will he the
next candidate of the Republicans
for the Presidency and who will
say that in the face of such a pOssi-
bility, the Democracy of the country
and especially of the South, can
afford to become Indifferent to the
importance of maintaining their
in the popular branch Of
by which, if their leaders
are true. they will hold the key to

The success of the Eads jetty

attention anew to the improvement
of the Mississippi. The demand

1t is not merely important to the
Mississippi Valley, but 10 the PEG

truly national undertaking which
neither States nor individuals are
competent to undertake or carry
on. The present is an excellent
time to begin the Improvement.
LrbOr is abundant and m terials are
cheap. The amount that will be
spent upon improving the Daviga>

it is in the aggregate, is insignifi>
cant as compared with the benefits
to the whole country which will re-
suit from its prosecution and COM

/ Noted New Orleans Nurse on Yellow
Fever Cure.

Mrs. NJ. P. Dugan, celebrated at
New Orleans for her selfsacrifcing la
borS in yellow fever epidemics, says,
in an article in the Picayune
81 fully believe that almost every
death that occurs from yellow fever is
caused by not attending to it in time,
or by giving injudicious nourishment
or ignorant nursing. Ihave patient,
a little orphan girl ten years old, that
I cured with fifteen cents worth of
medicine (mAgnesia and mustard }
and / have enough of it left to cure
another. Ice and lemons are Iuxu-
ries; they are not necessary in yellow
fever. A simple purge at the begin
ming of the disease, a mustard foot
bath, and blankets to produce perspi-
ration, orange-leaf tea as a beverage,
and perfect quiet, are all that is neces-
ssry. No stimulant or food of anv
kind should be given while the fever
lasts.
"After the fever leaves, the slight
eat kind of nOurishment and perfect
quiet during several days to prevent a
relapse. Quinine should never be
given while the fever is on; when the
fever has left it may be given in small
quantities as tonic. There seems to
be a great deal Of conjecture as to
what kind of fever prevails here now.
It matters little what name rs given to
it, provided the remedies are known
and applied, While we are waiting
for ell the symptoms of yellow fever
to become developed the patient may
be past recovery"

Democrats, Beware Of DIssensiOns.

1t is now probable that the Repub-
ican Convention which will meet in
this city tomorrow will adjourn with
out making a nomination, until some
day in September. The pretext will
be the yellow fever; the real purpose
will be to attempt to form a union
with the Independents, so-called. The
following special from Washington to
the Cincinnati Gazette, Republican,
will show what the Republicans expect
from Democratic dissensions in the
South:
"The Republican Congressional cam
paign committee is daily receiving ad-
vices from the South that rivaIries
among Democratic candidates for Con
gressional hOnors are 80 bitter that a
very considerable number of indepen-
dent candidates will take the field as
result Of these contentious. Writers
of these letters assure the committee
that there is strong probability that
a considerable number of independ-
ents with Republican tendencies may
be elected, and inasmuch as the next
House may be very close, the commit
tee is earnestly requested to use its in
fuence to secure the election of these
independents. Advices from Georgia
are that the number Of candidates in
different districts, ranges from five to
twenty. Indeed, in North Carolina.
the Republicans and Greenbackers
have united, and it is confidently be-
lieved, by many usually we'll informed
in North Carolina politics, Il - this
combination will carry at least four of
the eight districts in which now the
Democrats have sevsn. The South by
no means is as solid as it appeafz. and
Northern Democrats who fancy that
their majority is assured may find them
selves deceived. Nashville Ameri-
can.

Reform Extraordinary.

The following story is true in every
detail:
a milliner of respectabiIity married
a dissipated tailor, who abused, neg
lected and abandoned her. Several
years having passed without clue to
his whereabouts, her friends advised
divorce and her acceptance of an .ad-
vantsgeous oder of marriage. The
wsmah Persistently declined every Of
fer, and when she had accumulated
q sufficient sum started eff in the di-
rection her husband WAS supposed to
have taken when he left her. At Hal
flax, n. s., she received slight clue,
and took the steamer to Portland, Me.
Thence she followed his track to this
city, where she ceased for many
months to hear Of him. Finally she
found that he was working in Albany,
for which place she Immediately start
ed. She was about week too late B.;
he had been discharged for drunken
ness. Spending her days at lucrative
work and her evenings at detective SER
vice, the unwearying wife at length
discovered that he was employed by a
large firm In Chicago. She wrote
there, and was answered that her hus-
band was gone away, nobody knew
where. Not satisfied with this, she
travelled TO Chicago and ransacked ev-
cry concern interested in the tailoring
business there, until she met fellow
who said that Ger husband
when last heard from, was in Omaha
City She wrote there, got no answer,
but went on. There she heard that
he had certainly left for San Francis
co, where he had obtained fine place
as cutter in large firm. She of course
went thither, only to be told that her
husband had been several days away
from work, and was drinking hard.
He had not been even to his boarding
hsuse. This led her to visit the sta.
ton houses, and in one of them she
ascertained that her husband was In
Jail for ten days. He was released
and prevailed upon to return home
after six years absence. All this oc-

What Contraction is Doing.

From the AshtabulR Democratic Standard
Contraction goes on at the rate of a
million day. The gold for which the
four per cents. are sold are boarded.
The Sherman mill grinds exceedingly
fast and fine. His policy has filed
the country with ruin and bankruptcy.
Every day records the failure of the
oldest and most reliable business firms
of the country. The accumulations of
years are lost in the shrinkage that con-
traction brings about. Fortunes are
wrecked, thousands are thrown out of
employment and their families reduced
to starvation; yet Sherman relents not.
Strikes are not the remedy for these
evils. The ballot-box is our only hope.
Let the people reverse the present
financial policy of the National Ad-
ministration, and hurl the wreckers
from their places.
