THERE seems to be growing impress
sion that Senator Bayard suggested the
wisest policy in urging that the clauses
repeating the odious Force Measures of
the Radical party should be introduced
as independent measures, instead of
tackled on to the Appropriations bills.
Who knows but this streak of wisdom
beyond his fellows, may determine in
his favor the question of availability in
selecting the Democratic candidate for
President in 18807

AT last accounts, Messrs. Null

ticipated in the exciting discus-

III the attempt to break the chains of tvran-
ny from the people was revolution, it was a
revolution which the people would applaud
but he hoped the President would not attempt

can America the spectacle would not be pre-
scented Of the highest officer in the land. putting
himself between the orperation of the Govern
ment and the people,"
Touching what we have deprecated
as very unwise decision of the Demo-
cratic caucus to repeal only part of the
Supervisors law, Mr.. Singleton was
right in saying:
Mr.. Singleton stated in reference to the Su-
peTvlors law, that party fealty taught him to
submit TO party dictates. He therefore,. ac-
eepted partial repeal of the Supervisors law
with notice to all concerned, that he accepted
1t only as the first installment of long DELAYED
|sstlee to an oppressed people, and that he
should, IN all time to come labor in season and |
out OF season TO secure the repeal of every line

We beg our amiable correspondent to
take 1t coolly. Mr.. Davis did not get
rope ;" but he did not beseech mercy
from his prosecutors. Like the innocent
man that he was, he demanded of his
accusers a fair trial under the laws. and
| by the tribunal Of their own creation,
and they would not give it to him. He
hasn't got pension, not that he did not
entitle himself to it, for he was one of
the hravest of the brave, and the ac-
knowledged Hero of Buena Vista. which
has shed imperishable lustre upon the
flag of the Union, but because his enc
mics were too grovelling in their malice
to vote him what he would have scorned
to ask, and did not want. As for the
solid South, it means nothing hit

Is menaced her people will stay solid.

Boston March 15 for cruise to the West In
dies, has returned to Vineyard sound on ac-
count of two cases of yellow fever occurring on
board when about three hundred miles south
east OF the Bermuda Islands. The shin had
been in Boston during the winter. and as She
had come from the West Indies last autumn
with yellow fever on board, she had been
frozen out and fumigated As she had not
called III any port since leaving Boston. this
development showed that the germs of yellow
fever still existed in her, and she was headed
north, being deemed under the circumstances
unfit for cruising in the tropics.
Here is startling proof af the germ

where the yellow fever prevailed last
season to be on the guard Clean up
