A NEW DEAL.
The People of the South to BE
Subjected to New Ordeal
of Persecution.
Announcement That Two III un-
dred Prosecutions Have AL
ready Been Commenced.

Courier journal Special: The Ma
tional Republican gazettcs the Pres
ident to-day as a convert to the
bloody shirt policy of the stalwart
Republicans. The slandcrous def
nation Of these blackguards against
the Southern people is echoed by
the President in whining, canting
style of phraseology. 1t is evident
that the people of the South are to
be subjected to a new ordeal OF per-
secution. Every falsehood that
perjured carpet baggers and worth
less negroes can invent is to be
made the pretext of invoking and
prostituting the machinery of the
Federal courts. 1t is boastfully an
nounced by Republicans that two
hundred prosecutions have already
been ordered, and more are to fol-
low, with packed juries and such
judges as Bond. 1t is expected
that enough convictions can be sc
cured to pFopltiate the extreme rad
ical element, and possibly goad
Southerners to acts of resistance
which would be made the preteXt
for fresh prosecutions. 1t is esti
mated that If any District Attorney
shall be found too decent and up
right to engage zealously in this
vile work, he will be removed to
make room for one far less scrupu-
lous. Bounds are get to this high
handed attempt to control elections
which have resulted unfavorahly for
the Republicans. State canvassins
boards which decide the question
before them adversely to the Re-
publicans are TO be punished for
such judicial action by arrest in the
Federal courts, while Anderson,
Wells and Aliunde Joe Bradley are
rewarded with high preferments.
The secret of all this wrath is the
defeat by the South of the attempt
by the Radicals to capture the
House of representatives. and thus
prepare the way for repeating the
electoral fraud Of 1876 by getting
up a contested Presidential election.
All the givings out of the Admins
tratIon seem to breathe a vindictive
spirit toward the South.

THE LATE EPIDEMIC.
Conclusions Of the Yellow Fever
Commission-A System Of
National Quarantine
Advocated,

The National Yellow Fever Com
mission in the report to be made
will advocate a system of national
quarantine under the direction OF
the United States Government
The commissioners are convinced,
from their Investigations, that vel
low fever is not indigenous in any
part of the United States, and that
in New Orleans it was caused by
importation. Whatever doubt there
may be in the case of New Orleans,
there Is no doubt that it was car
ried from New Orleans to every
other part of the country. The dis
ease does not seem to be prevented
from prevailing epidemically, either
by distance from the sea level, as
under favorable circumstance for
its dissemination it might prevail in
any part of the United States. -
Heretofore, seaboard quarantines,
as far as the Gulf of Mexico is con-
cerned, and making exceptions this
year in the case of Texas, have
been inadequate to prevent intro
duction of the disease. The diff
Guilty of inland guarantees are SO
many and so great in cases OF towns
on the Mississippi river or in cases
of towns having extensive railroad
connections as to be almost prac-
ticably impossible. With this view
the Commission are of the opinion
that the only reasonable protection
to keep the yellow fever from this
country is a system of strict nation
al quarantine.

THE SOLID SOUTH,
And the Reasons Which Have Solid
flied the Section.

Albany IN. " Argus: That the
eleven Southern States have gone
anti republican every news item by
telegraph received last night tends
to show. The spectacle of a whole
section of the Union solid in its
politics is to everybody impressive,
and to some alarming. Those
whom it alarms do not trace the
facts TO heir causes. Exactly that
has soiiGified the South which would
have solidified the North andW est
union Of all the honest and respon
sible clements of society against
dishonest government. If there
was any honest republicanism in
the South it would have an effective
following. There is none. 1t has
no effective following. If every
thing that is ignorant in democracy
or in Republicanism in any North
ern or Western State, every thing
tina: is honest and everything that
is intelligent would band against it.
Society will not commit suicide or
be slaughtered 1t will preserve it
self. Anti republicanism in the
South has identified itself with what
is preservative in the South. Re
publicanism has identified itself
with what is destructive there. The
former forces are in the majority,
and win. The latter are in a mi
nority, and lose. Reasonable read
ers should make the mark broad
and strong between the republican
ism of the South and that of every
other part of the country.
The solidIty of the anti republic
canism of the South is the condi
ton of civilization there. 1t is a
fact for hope and congratulation.
So soon as an opposition to democ-
racy in the South can be formed
which has room enough in it tor the
action of honest men, there will be
ground for expecting the politics of
that section to be marked by the
same divisions which are healthfuI
to other localities. The interview
ing of Northern republican papers
and speakers against the solid South
10 ebbbl W vi VIVA
edness. Any Northern Republican
who has honesty enough here not
to have society closed to him, as
certain thoroughiares were to Rich
ard Swiveller, because of his debts,
would be made into a democrat by
a three months residence in the
South. The samples of Southern
republicans represented to Ameri-
can attention have been Wells, An
derson, Kellogg, Packard, Chamber
lain, Kimpton, Moses, Hurley, Les
lie, Stearns, McLin, Cowgirl, Clay
ton and Spencer-whOse counter
parts are called criminals every
where else round the world. The
lesser ones they led are even worse
than they were. Imagine Boston,
Albany, New York, New Haven, or
any Northern city presented with
the spectacle of these men or men
in their likeness as rulers. Had
they done by any Northern commu-
nifty what they have done Southern
ones, they would be lynched on
sight Men who nCte the solidity
of the South should note the causes,
and patriotic and rejecting men
knowing the causes should rejoice
at the fact.

mail service was amended by strik
ing the clause restricting the ton
mage of the vessel, and thus amend
ed passed, after full debate.
The Secretary read letters from
the President and members of the
Cabinet, members of Congress and
other prominent gentlemen, all ex-
pressing sympathy with the objects
of the convention.
After the customary resolu tions
of compliment, the convention adj
journed sine die.
THE PLATFORM ADOPTED.
The platform as adopted, is as
follows:
RESOLVED, That the combined pros
perity of the agricultural, manufac-
turing, mining and commercial in
terests of the country cannot be Sc
cured without such n development
of commerce with other countries
as will offer ready and growing
market for our surplus products;
and to insure this it is the duty of
Congress TO promote, and by all
wise and constitutional measures
aid, the opening and improvement
of such lines of transportation by
land and water as one of general
and national importance.
RESOLVED, That the high rates
upon freight and passenger traffic
charged by the Union Pacific rail
road make this only highway from
the Atlantic to the Pacific monop-
DIV as burdensome as it is exclu
sive, and we call upon Congress to
take measures at the coming ses-
sion to compel these corporations
which owe their existence to the
llberality of the nation to fulfill
their obligations.
ResoLved, That the interests of
the Government and the people
alike demand the early completion
of competing lines of railroad to the
Pacific: and we, therefore, earnestly
desire Congress to grant material
aid to the Texas and Pacific rail
road, and to extend the time for
the completion of the Northern Pa
cific railroad.
RESOLVED, That direct trade with
countries lying south of the United
States, which is desired by them,
and will be most profitable to the
United States, can1ot be entered
upon or conducted successfully
without mail facilities, which it is
the province of the Government to
furnish, and we, therefors, recon-
mend immediate provision by Con
gress of ocean mail service between
the chief ports of the United States
and all important commercial points
on the coast of South America, in
Americana built and owned ships.
RESOLVED, That a suitable and
cheap water line, permanently navi-
gable by steamers of one thousand
tons burden, be opened up between
the waters of Virginia and North
Carolina as a means of enabling the
greatest part of the domestic ship
ping of the Atlantic coast to avoid
the danger of Cape Hatteras, and
we commend this measure to the
favorable consideration of Congress.
RESOLVED, That a committee Of
one from each State represented in
this convention be appointed, charg
ed with the duty of visiting Wash
ington in body and presenting the
resolutions of the convention to the
President Of the United States.

Leaving California out of the
question, the next House will. from
present returns, contain Isl Demo
Gratis, 1870 Republicans and Z Green
hackers. The present House Is
composed of l55 Democrats and
1873 Republicans. The net Demo
cratic loss, therefore, is 4; the net
Republican loss is s; the net green

Quarantine the Watch Word.

In every part of the South the
people are discussing the quaran-
tine question, and all are coming to
the opinion that it is our only safe
ty. The last Virginia Medical
Journal has an able article on this
subject, written by DR.. S. L. JOvnes,
in which he says that Richmond is
liable to yellOw-fever, and urges the
of a precautionary quar-
antine. DR.. Joynes shows that it is
to suppose that be-
cause Richmond is so far from the
sea, so high IN altitude, so salubris
Gus IN climate, that her people are
safe from the disease. He shows
that Richmond is not safe by rea-
son of altitude above the level of
the sea or the boosted healthfulness
of atmosphere, because Chattanooga
is nearly q thousand feet above the
sea, while Richmond is not fifty.
With q rigid quarantine and santa
ry Improvement, the South will
hereafter be free from the dreaded
scourge. Paris is one of the clean
est cities in the world, and, there
fore, one of the healthiest. 1t costs
over a million dollars year to
keep the city clean. She makes her
first toilet before breakfast, when
all the household sweepings are de
posted in the gutter. Then the
scavenger service begins, which en-
ploys nearly five thousand persons,
both men and women, and besides
these are their street-sweeping ma
chimes which sweep six thousand
square yards an hour. Even the
roadways are thoroughly drenched
and and secured every five or six
days, as it is found that washing
tends largely 10 preserve them
The watering is done by means of
India rubber hose. You seldom /
hear of epidemic diseases IN Paris, |
because there is no place for its
lodging. Municipal cleanliness is
Just as essential as individual clean
.iness to the preservation of health.
When American cities learn and |
practice this system OF municipal
l6lutIon, we shall suffer no more
