BEN BUTLER has been reviewing the
several battle. feds on which parties
recently exhausted strength and ge-
MUS. Strangely enough, though re-
cent cor quests have been determined,
to very great extent, by sectional pas
sions, Butler insiats that these have
exhausted their force and after the
census OF 1880 will be seen and felt no
more in American politics. Whenever
political power is transferred from the
East aud South, as it will be by the
census, the "solid SJuth," he says,
will be nevermore an important factor
in politics. This very dIninution of
Southern value and force IN Fed
eral elections, the ''solld South
losing potency in presidential
contests, will promote divisions in
the South and we will have more
than one white mans party in these
Southern States. Butler has sought
through fifteen years to excite and per-
petuate sectional hates, and sadly
does he discover the end of those hor-
rible animos;ties which be has
done as much as any living man to
fomeut. But Buffers purposes are
undergoing sure and speedy transfor-
nation. Greenbackism is done for.
Butler is first to escape from its ruins.
rs Is evidently preparing for full and
free accession to the ranks of the Dem
ocratic party. He would sit in its
next National convention. He does
not attach that Importance to recent
State elections which we may give
them. He does not deem Democracy
impotent or Its overthrow in 1880 in
evitable. There is no more hopeful
sign for the party than these first strug-
ges of Ben Butler TO get himself again
fairly upon his legs by catching at the
skirts OF the Democracy parshz@d by
terrible blows inf cted in New York,
Ohio and Pennsylvania.

Malaria.-A Discovery OfIhe FungGs
That Breedi this Poison.

Innumersble attempts have been made
to ascertain the poison that produces
malaria, and in every instance until re-
Gently they have failed. This poison
is not cognizible by the senses, nor
could it be detected by chemical tests.
The air of malarial districts has been
analy I'D. the soil has been submitted
to microscopical examination, but no
light was thrown on the subject by any
investigation that had been undertaken.
1t was not difficult to describe the
places favorable to the production of
mslarial poison, or to prescribe the
proper medical remedies for those who
were suffeIi0g from it. 1t was easy to
say that the poison was generated In
salt and fresh water marshes, III wet
meadows, from vegetation decaying
under not sun, in lands alternately
flooded and drained IN the moving OF
earth rich in vegetable matter, AMI in
the drying up under certain Amos
pheric condinons of stagnart pools.
But what the poison was that produced
those renting and intermittiIg dis
eases which are known by the various
names of marsh foyer, malarial fever,
fever and sgur, and popularity as
.'chills" and Shakes" no physician
could explain. at length, however, a
series of Investigations into the origin
of malaria hss beeti crowned with sue
cess. Two men- of science, Signor
Tommssi, of Rome, and. Prof. Kleb, of
Prague, after spending three weeks in
that fever-stricken region, the Roman
Campagna, experimenting on its soil,
it's atmosphere and its stsgnant water,
shave succeeded," it is said, Sin dis
covering microscopic fungus which,
being placed under the skins of healthy
dogs, caused distinct and regular paroK-
ysms OF intermittent fever, and pro-
duced in the spleens Of these animals
that peculiar condition which is rec
ogrized part of the pathology of this
disease" The report of their investi-
cations and experiment, and the cue
cess that crowned them, was read q
short time since in the Academy al
Rome, and if further tests substantiate
the truth of their discovery, the next
series of experiments Will have for their
object the means whereby these pois-
ouOus fungi may either be dt streyed or
rendered innoxious. IL, is doubtful
whether anything can be done in that
direction. The practicable agricultural
remedy for draining and lining must
rtmsip, We apprebend, the only certain
one. But the discovery of the source Of
malaria in minute fungus, discernible
only under the microscope, merits
nevertheless the applause with which It
has been received, aud willstrenethen
very materially the belief in the germ
theory OF disease VIII ch has found In
TyndalI one Of its sblest advocstes.-
