Southern Build0Zing.

Ex-state senator Swails, of South
Carolina, who was driven out of
that state year Or so ago by the
democracy, has recently announc-
ed his determination to return. This
has naturally alarmed the democrats
there, who fear Swa1ls' influence
and power among the negroes,
with whom, as one of their own
number, he is very popular. They
have accordingly renewed their bull.
doing tactics, and Ehave given
Swails notice that he cannot again
become resident of that communi-
ty. The Kingston Star sounded
the note Of warning in bitter arti-
Gle which was also so indlscreet os to
call for explanations on the part of
other southern democratic papers
which saw how damaging the affect
of the Stars article would be. The
Charleston Ne,cs and Courier is one
of them which rebukes the Star as
follows:
"We cannot believe that the Kingston
Star is serious when it::says that it is the
duty of the executive committee Of the
democratic party to warn Swails that if he
intends to return to Williamsburg county
! 10 take up his permanent residence he will
do so st bis personal peril. The democratic
party cannot countenance such procedure
1t is the fear that southern democrats &C.
quiesce IN such propositions that makes it
so difficult for the democratic party to re-
gain public confidence. Things were done
IN the canvass of 1876 and 1878 that can
not and must not be done again. 1t WAS a
supreme necessity. The necessity no long
err exists. The Kingston Star has taken an
| antenable position. Its threats are alreadv
echoing and re-echoing in the north This
will not improve the prospects of the ma
tioual democracy. What comes so near
home is the fact that bulldozing of any sort
hurts US right here in South Carolina"
A significant feature of the case
is the admission that the bulldozin e
outrages which the republicans
have always insisted marked the
elections of 1876 and IS7S,by means
of which the democracy have OBJ
tanned the control of the state, did
in fact exist, and there is no use in
trying to wipe it out.

THE Republicans of Mississippi
are trying to- reorganize the party in
that state. There is not much to
hope for, but the executive commit
tee are trying to arouse the courage
of the party in that state by the fol-
lowing address:
The vigilaut eye of he government of
the United States is now upon Mississippi,
and the staggering bully with his revolver
may find himself in the clutches of the Law
before the election, and we have the sssur-
ance from Washington that when the iron
hand of justice is laid upon the violators OF
the election law there will be no "child IS
play" By all means register and be pre-
pared to vote. and if any of the steps in
this direction are hindered or thwarted, in-
form some dis erect and intelli gent republi-
can.

The Fever Panic in Memphis.

The result of the autopsy on the
body of the Mulbrandon on Wednes-
day afternoon spread like wildfire. At
the hotels, which are nightly thronged
with business men. the dread news
was discussed in the most excited man
ner, each one borrowing from the
other until reason and common sense
we're lost in an almost frenzy. Many
seized with panic at the first announce
ment, fed precipitately, taking the
first trains on the Louisville or Char
lesion railroads. AS late as II o'clock
at night groups of persons were to be
met with vainly endeavoring to discuss
what admitted of no discussion, some
eager to squeeze from simple fact a
crumb of comfort, most of them to find
in it stronger reason for the flight
thought it inspired. But put it as
they would they could only make out
of it case of yellow fever, declared to
be such by doctors who have the pub
lie confidence. Some drew upon their
imagination for cases that had no exis
tence, and there were not wantiu
physicians who pitilessly warred upon
the peace and security Of which at
such times they should be among the
special guardians. One of these sud-
denly found himself in charge of FIVE
cases, which, after careful examination
by DR.. Thornton, the Health Officer,
were pronounced not to be yellow few
er. The exaggerations of men whose
title stamps with authority whatever
they say touching disease was eagerly
caught up; and the panic gained an as
sured strength and engulfed the cour-
age and discretion of almost whole
population. Since the awful days of
1878 nothing like the terrors of Wed
nesday night greeted our eyes until
yesterday. Appeals were in vain.
Each man acted as if be thought him
self the special object of the vengeance
of fearful monster, to elude which
flight, instant and rapid, was the only
means. The lessons of the past were
forgotten. The good name of the city
its trade, its future, the tate of it's poor,
all these were sunk under the one con-
sideration of personal safety. And all
this excitement, by which a sense of
insecurity for the future as we'll as the
present has been engendered, rests
upon four cases of yellow fever, three
of which were reported to the Board
of Health only after the autopsy which
decided so dreadful so awful fate for
Memphis again. sAll this upon four
cases, which, though six days have
passed since the FIRST was taken, have
not spread beyond the residences of
the persons, and though finding three
victims 10 one family, has, SO far, fail
ed Of any effect among the nine child
rem of Mulbrandon. Not one of all

MANY people suppose that the banks
derive large gains from their note cir
culation, and that they can therefore
afford to pay heavy taxes; but this is
an erroneous impression. During the
last two or three years many national
banks have voluntarily surrendered a
part Of their circulation. On the 4th
of April last, according to statement
of the comptroller Of the currency, the
total capital of all the national banks
was 1855 ,611,362, which would au.
thorize circulation of s389,357, $50
but the actual amount issued was only
1913, 045, 339, showing deficiency of
SIC, 1927 $40. Now if the banks could
have found profitable use for this large
balance in their favor it would certain
" have been called. This is one of
the hard nuts to crack which the de-
mocrats and greenbackers do not like
to tackle with their teeth. And they
don't try. Their organs just go on
incorporating the facts, hoping to
blind the people.

A ROYAL VAGABoND.-CHIcAGo,
July lot is not often that a for
eign born noble comes here and dies in
rags. Such, however, mas been the
fate of German of the bluest blood, a
nephe Of a cabinet minister Of the
German empire. August Won Maute-
uffel, the son Of Prince Herman Won
Manteuffel of Germany, committed
peccadilloes that even the great wealth
of his family and their high arlstocra-
cy could not shield him from, so he
came to Chicago. He landed last
winter, with some $4,000 in his pocket
but to day lies corpse at 574 South
Halsted street, and depending on cha
rity to give his body decent burial.
The Count was % years of ago, and
led very fast life in this city, devot-
ing himself to American women and
whisky. He spent his time chiefly
at the saloon corner of Union and
Randolph streets, and is reported to
have disbursed his money lavishly up
on young lady who makes cigars at
the mandatory of Strowbery Il Co.,
$50 Randolph street. Greatly to the
credit ofthis girl, che supported the
Count after his wealth gave out. 1t
appears his friends in the old country
are tired of him and stopped remit
tances. He took to opium-"Chinese
opium. American whisky and women
proved too much for him and the title
is now vacated. The coroner will hold
an inquest on the body tomorrow.
There seems to be considerable doubt
as to whether he did not expedite his
own departure from things mundane,
but this will only be ascertained by
the coroners jury, if at all.

At the greenback convention held
in this city last week one of the
speakers stated that the bonded in
debtedness of the country at the pre-
sent time is more than at any form
er period since the commencement of
the war. Probably the speaker knew
no better, and we doubt if any of the
delegates present were more cor
rectly informed than he. They will
probably be surprised to find how
at variance with the truth such state
ments are, though we presume they
will go right along with their lying
as if the same had not been expos.
ed. A report just issued from the
treasury department, which may
be relied upon as correct, shows the
true state of the case, and to it we
invite the attention of all who de-
sire to be informed in the matter.
The memorandum shows a reduc-
ton ofs5S3.SSo,594 in the interest
bearing debt, of $7a9,224,315 in the
total debt, and of S., 3,o1o in the
annual interest charge in fourteen
years. The reduction of the total
debt has been at the rate of rather
more than $50, 100000 a year on
the average, while that of the inter-
est-bearing debt has been about
$4I.7oo,ooo, and that Of the inter-
est charge about S4,Soo,ooo. The
total reduction in the principal dur
ing the present administration has
been $oI,553,SSo, or at the rate of
less than $25,47o,ooo on the aver
age, or less than one-half the aver
age rate of reduction for the whole
period Of fourteen years. The saw
ing upon the annual interest charge
resulting from refunding under the
acts of July II, 1870, and June 20,
1871, is $l9,9o7,oo7, of which SI4,
2o7,177 arises from operations dur
ing the present administration. But
from this must be deducted the in
terest on bonds sold for resumption
purposes, amounting to s3,925,ooo
annually, leaving net annual saw
ing ofsIo, 372,l77efected during the
present administration. OF course,
the average greenback blatherskite
will deny all this, and taking Brick
Pomeroy for his authority will
maintain that Secretary Sherman
does not know what he is talking
about. However, men Of sense
will not be slow in determining the
truth, and learning just how much
weight the statements of greenback
orators and statesmen are entitled
to as regards questions of finance.

HERE is something from the
Madison Democrat which ought to
open the eyes of greenbackers with
republican antecedents who are now
engaged in pulling democratic
chestnuts out of the fire:
"The Watertown convention dis
closes one important fact, namely :
that the greenback party of Wis
consin represents an organized
bolt within the republican party.
It was manipulated and managed
almost entirely by disafected re-
publicans; and the ticket was made
up exclusively of republicans. The
democrats had nothing to do with
the WATERFOWL affair, and of course
were not recognized in the make
up of the ticket. The wayward
democrats have returned en naasse
to the old party. It is WELL"
Watertown republican. [volume] (Watertown, Wis.) 1860-1906, 1879-07-23
The Democracy.

The democracy have settled on
the 9th of September as the time
for holding their state convention.
1t will be held in Madison. and as
this is the second day of the state
fair a full convention may be ex-
pected. The leaders of the demo-
cracy have little or no hope of car
rying the state this fall, however.
This feeling is made apparent by
the promptness with which demo
Gratis decline to be candidates as soon
as their names are proposed by the
party press. Col. w. F. Villas, of
Madison, was brought out as cam
didate for Governor and consider
able enthusiasm was manifested over
his candidacy in certain quarters,
but the shrewd Colonel saw certain
defeat before him, and in two
column letter dampened the ardor
of his friends by declining to be a
candidate, on the ground that his
business would not admit of it. The
reason he assigned was mere subter-
fuge. The real reason why he de-
clined was, because he saw no
chance of election. Gabe Bouck, Of
Oshkosh, is now being urged for
the standard bearer of the demo-
cracy. Now there is nothing dear
er to the heart of Gabe than guber-
material honors. His father was
once governor and Gabriel doubt
less thinks he is a bigger man than
old Bouck. With the idea Of re-
ceiving the nomination ofthe demo-
crazy Bouck sent delegation from
Oshkosh to the greenback conven-
ton in this city last week to secure
for him the first place on the green
back ticket, but the greenbackers,
however foolish they may be about
everything else, acted wisely in
| giving Bouck and his adherents the
cold shoulder. Since his failure to Sc
cure the greenback nomination. we
understand that Bouck is very in
different about being the candidate
of the democracy. Bouck like Villas
will probably conclude before a great
while that the duties of governor
will interfere with his business. 1t
is too bad that the great men in the
democratic party are so rushed with
business that they cannot find time
to discharge the duties of the most
honorable office in the state of Wis
consin for two years.
The truth of the matter is that the
empty honorof a nomination from
the democracy of this state has
become an old story, and that party
will be obliged to resort to its old
tactics in September of placing in
nomination a state ticket without the
consent of the men selected, and 90
through the form of voting for state
officers at the November election.

THE Indiana republicans are in
fused with the idea that they can
carry the state at the next presiden-
fial election. The Indianapolis
Journal says: "The impression

will carry the state next year. They
have, to say the least, good fight
ing chance and are disposed to enter
the fight The democratic party in
Indiana do not think a nomination
with them is equivalent to an cleo
ton, and there is general feeling
among the sagacious men of the
party that they are being weaken
ed by premature struggle within
the party for the nomination.

cratic legacy, and though the repub-

and provided for its payment, they
have had to fight the democratic
party every inch of the way
