The Galveston Meses pub
fishes an extract from the re-
port of ]. NJ. Woodward, sur
geon general marine hospital
service, showing the course of
the fever up to August II, 70.
The Meas says.
The report is very specific
and, coming from the source it
does, may be relied upon. 1t
seems to leave no ground for
the belief that yellow fever can
not be carried from one place
to another by passengers and
freight, and gives cause for
congratulation that the vigilant
and prompt action of the Gal
weston board of health has
saved this city from the intro
duction of the seeds of an cpl
demic.
It's manifest that had Gal
weston kept up communicating
with New Orleans the fever
must have inevitably been i'm
ported.

The radical papers of this and the first
congressional District have been occupy
ing themselves and amusing folks gener-
ally with the question of who will be
elected at the next election to represent
us in Congress. SO much and so often
have they talked and dreamed of this,
that they are in the condition of that not
ed person who told the same lie so often,
that at last he believed it himself They
are now trying to find man who will
sacrifise himself on the congressional
alter. We have no doubt that in few
weeks they will inform us by what mas
jorities they will elect their men, That
they will elect their men is foregone
conclusion, if-yes there is the rub, if
there were no Democrats in the District.
We will tell them when they will elect
their man. On plain in Asia stands a
mountain about two miles high. Every
thousand years, a little bird comes along
and sharpens his beall on the mountain
When the action of this little bird causes
the mountain to disappear, then will the
Radical elect their candidate in this
district. There are number of good
and true Democrats, in this District that
will be an honor tou The Democrats
will select one of these for their standard
bearer and whoever he may be the Dem
ocrats of Monongalia will give him their
united support and he will be elected.

Hon. Henry G. Davis in the Senate

It's likely enough that Secretary
Sherman would be glad to offer Sena-
tor Matthews as sacrifice to the coun-
try for the louisiana frauds, and it's
equally likely that Senator Matthews
won't be of those who would consent
to such an arrangement. They unit
ed to cheat Louisiana out of her elect
oral vote and they fairly divided the
booty-Sherman taking the Cabinet
and Matthews the Senate; and now
they both well know that either would
give the other up to sacrifice if there
must. be victim and the other could
escape thereby. 1t doesn't look as if
they have need to fret about which

Discoveries of thieving and crook
edness at Washington are made al
most daily, and yet nothing is done
about it. Secretary Sherman and his
party have made great parade of the
wonderful and steady reduction of
the public debt. There is one system
Of book keeping on which is based the
handsome exhibits given to the pub
lie, and another which contains the
bottom facts. Judge Kelley has ia
ken the trouble to investigate the mat
ter, and he finds that from MAY 81,
1877, to May 81, 1878, the public debt
was actually increased $75,771, 900
making an aggregate increase in in
terest of $609,2 $50. This increase OF
the bonded, interest bearing debt adds
to the burdens of the masses and
pours the swollen streams of interest
into the same old pockets. During
last month alone Sherman added
$l3, 100000 to the public debt. and
this month he will pile on more.

The German Government is yigor-

the system is quite strong and must
be broken up. The aim of the Social
lists is to revolutionize the trade rela-
lions of Society and to demolish the
existing ecclesiastical institutions
and principles. The consequences of
the system would be most disastrous
and it is well to repress it. Itmay be
possible that similar steps will have
to be taken in the United States.
