Sanitarr.I

Editor Register: Can it be possible
that the people Of our town have
forgotten the unbounded misery that
vas caused last summer, by that
dreadful plague yellow Fever, not
only in the far South, but even in
our sister town Of Gallipolis, Ohio?
Should we have forgotten even this
instance, all that is necessary for US
to do is to pause and turn our eyes
to the once Sunny South, view the
pestilence which there presented us
SO many melancholy scenes, and one
which in majority of cases, during
the past summer, not only robbed
homes Of their dearest treasure, but
actually swept whole families away,
not leaving even one to erecta mon
umcnt sacred to The memory of their
departed dead, These were scenes
which language cannot possibly ex-
aggerate, and IL is for this reason
that they call forth, the better feel
ings of humanity, causing many to
drop a tear Of sympathy DER the
graves Of the. unfortunate departed.
Again the sad news reaches our
midst that the disease is no longer
Sporadic, but has broken out in
Memphis and other cities as an
epidemic; and sir, is it not time that
our little town was being placed in
u more healthy condition; our Coun-
ell forming plans to enforce the most
rigid quarantine, tho moment dan
ger is near. This is something that
will admit Of no delay, and the soon
er our Board of Health take this into
consideration the better will it be for
the welfare Of our whole community.

STEPHENS ron GRANT.

Alexander II. Stephens, of Georgia,
IL pronounced advocate of the cleo
tion of General Grant for third term.
He was recently asked by friend at
Washington if he had seen the news
paper suggestions that the Democrats
should nominate Grant as their candi-
date for the Presidency. Stephens said
he had seen the statement, and he be-
ieved that abe Democrats might go
further than Grant and fair worse in
searching for Presidential candidate.
Stephens was Vice-P President of the
Southern Confederacy, and now repre-
sents the Eighth District of Georgia in
the House of Representatives. He is
nominally Democrat, but does not al
ways vote for Democratic measures
He is, notwithstanding his course in
Congress, popular in his district, where
he was elected in 1876 by l3.0GO ma
jority, and in 1878 had no opposition.
During the excitement incident to the
counting of the electoral vote in Janu
AIRY and February, 1877, he did as
much as the most stalwart Republican
toward counting in Hayes, and setting
aside the verdict of the people, as ex-
pressed at the ballot box, OH the Presi-
Dental question. He was nevertheless
elected to Congress in 1878 without
opposition, circumstance which indi-
Gates that his course in Cons ress was
satisfactory to his constituents. Now
he favors Grant as the Democratic
nominee for President in 1880. This is
not the first time that the nomination
of Grant for President by the Demo-
Gratis has been discussed. In 1865
Grant, who up to that time had affilia-
tedt with the Democratic party, was
the choice of many Democrats for Pres
ident. The Republicans became
alarmed at the prospect of his being
the Democratic nominee, and called
their. National Convention early in the
year, and made him their candidate.
Now Stephens proposes again to have
the Democrats capture him by max
ing him the nominee of the party for
President. This might do were it not
