1855 over all, but his plurality over
Ewing is about II, 900 voter. Still Ew-
ing received larger vote than Tilden

not much of tidal wave or boom in
Ohio. Considering all the dissdvan-

Senator Hill denies that his business
in New York last week was to harmon

Advices from Mississippi indicate
much interest in the approaching con-
test for senator to succeed Mr.. Bruce,
whose term of Office expires in March,
1881. Down to within few days past
Messrs. Singleton and Bsrksdale have
been the only candidates. The an.
nouncement now made of Gen. Chal.
mers' candidacy puts new face on the
affair. His congressional district, one
of the largest in the State, will support
him with unan nifty, while he has de-
veloped much strength all over the
State, and he is now regarded IS the
leading candidate.

was discovered by an under officer, who
took the liberty of boxing bis ears, and
the charitable young husear seems tC

THE L0ndon life October 4 cr

THE London Life, October 4, contains
curious editorial story about one
Fletcher denominated "a Yankee and
yet a thoroughly welf-bred gentle
man," who Is now delivering most
eloquent speeches everywhere in Lon
don. He is deemed prophet. He
certainly foretold, the London Life
says, the death, and its manner, of the
young Prince Napoleon. He predicted
all the incidents of his own career and
is veritAble worker of miracles; but
the Life still doubts whether the re-
markable spiritist and eloquent speaker
will gain access to KAISER William or
the Pope or to the sadly wicked o'd
KING of Holland.

THE dUcIors nave been of the opin-
ion that it was quite impossible to dis
cover the ut mate cause of malarial
fevers. The spores that produces ty-
plus and yellow and other fevers,
have been deemed too infnitesimally
small, if it exists, to be seen; but it is
now stated in the medical journals
that Professor K!ebs of Prague, and
Professor Tommssi, of Rome, have
been examining during the past spring
into the physical poison which produ-
ces marsh fever. They examined the
lower strata OF the atmosphere of the
Roman Campagna and its soil. In
both they discovered a microscopic
fungus, consisting of movable shining
spores of long oval shape. With
these spores animals were artifcially
infected with intermittent fever of the
true marsh type, and they showed pre-
cisely the same enlargement OF the
spleen as human beings who have
caught the fever in the ordinary way.
Tommasi and Klebs have given this
fungus the name of Bacil as malarie, as
it grows in the shape of reeds.

CAPT r. s. HAYS, receiver of the
International Railroad bondholders,
writes, under date of October 81, to
gentlemen of San Antonio as follows
Since writing you on the twenty
third instant, in reply to your commu-
nication of the twentieth instant, which
was referred, as stated, to the represen-
tatlves of the purchasers, pending a
reorganization of the company, there
has developed considerable interest in
the progress of the road to San Anto-
MIC; so much so that there will be an
engineering party placed at once in the
field to survey the route from Austin to
San Antonio to determine If the previous
estimates of construction, based upon
surveys made some years ago, can not
be diminished so as to bring the cost
within feasible amount, in order that
construction may be commenced aud
completed in time for the next seasons
business. I should therefore be glad
to learn from your citizens or city, as
the tenor of your last communication
has led me to suppose that you were
prepared to offer some inducements for
the speedy construction of this railroad,
and haYe in measure made use of
such impressions.
To which Capt. Hays asks an early
reply.

MAYOR De GREsS AND en-
SCHOOL SUPERINTENDENT
RIDDLE.

1t is not wisest to tell always all
that one thinks or believes, but when
occasion requires it and matters OF
faith and opinion may be properly
considered, he is the veriest coward
who shoulders in the presence of pop
ular prejudices or convictions, and
fails to utter his exact opinions. The
duty and the right are concurrent, and
he is q stupid fellow, having very
narrow horizon of thought, who es-
teens any one less for his honestly en-
tertained religion or politics. The
South is alleged to be most ill-bred.
Blaine and Conkling and their
copyists are accustomed to say
that in the South, and especially
in Texas, one dsres not give utterance
to his real convictions and that we
only proclaim conventional ideas How
false this msy be is shown in recent
MUNICIPAL elections IN this city where
several hundred Southerners and Demo
Gratis or Greenbackers voted for q
Northern Federal against Southern
Confederate soldier.
On the other hand, not very long
ago, because one Riddle, faultless
superintendent of public schools IN
New York City, happened to believe
that spiritism is taught in the Bible, as
when Christ asst out devils, and because
Riddle fsncied that spirits commune
Gated with him, anu yet shUwIus NO
signs of insanity or mental alteration,
he was elected from his place. ''There
was no fault found In this man."
He never once was accused of seeking
to popularize his peculiar notions, but
entertaining convictions that have
invaded the church, to a greater OF
less extent, everywhere, he Is stead.
fsstly excluded, for opinions sake,
from place ne has long filed with I'M
varying success and confessed ability.

EVERY Republican candidate for the
presidency has exhausted epithets and
contumely in invectives hurled at the
helpless unoffendlng South. The
New York Herald thinks that Gen.
Grant is going to take advantage of
the fact and knowing what empty un-
utterable bosh it is and that the South
Is msddsned by it, and understanding
the temper of our people and that we
prefer him to Conkling or Sherman or
Blaine, he will come into these States
during the winter and induce us to
abandon our accustomed file leaders
and in open revolt rush to his sup
port. We can immsgine q state
of facts to exist when the peo-
pie of the South would prefer the
mastery of one man to that of many,
of one strong, self-willed ruler, whose
native instincts impel him to favor
the weak as against the strong, to the
domination of Conkling or Blaine
who absolutely hate Us, and have de-
rided and vihfied Us. Grant is no i'd
lot, and since he might have been en-
peror IS well IS private citizen to-day,
and SINCE Mr.. Hayes. in his conduct
towards the South, only executed the
suggestions and purposes of Grant, we
do not see that the Ex-Presi-
dent Is wholly at fault If
be imagine 1t possible, under certain
circumstances, for the people to accep,
his candidacy with favor. But the
Democratic party viii make nomlna,
tions, and while Conkling, and Blaine
control the course of the Republican
party, Grant IS an independent candi-
date has no chance of success. We're
he the only candidate opposing these
bad men he would undoubtedly be &C
cepted By Southern people as choice
between two political evils.

The President, in his thanksgiving
proclamation, thanks God for peace,
order and good government, and his
understrappers, Conkling leading the
way, go bowling over the country
about violence, disorder and murders
and assassinations, finging the bloody
shirt to the breeze. Perhaps Chand-
ler's death induced the Presidents
faith in possible peace on earth and
pnod will to man.
