opepi.s tho Tilden Cas.paign.

A despatch from Pittsburg, Pa,
April 9, ssys: A large meeting was
held hers tonight by the TildeD Club.
Hon. James H. Hopkins Spoke, ,denounc-
ing federal frauds, advocating free cleo
tions and indorsing Mr.. Tilden. The
following letter from Mr.. Tilden was
read:
"To the Lecture Committee OF the
Iron City Tilden Club, pittsbuIg, Pa:
Please communicate to your club my
thanks for the invitation to attend the
lecture Of Mr.. Hopkins, though my en-.
gagements render it impossible TO be
present. 7a
In 1876 the democracy achieved .
victory in the name aud fyr the sake Of
q reform of administration which would
restore the government in spirit and
substance, as well as in form, to the
benign character in which it was crsa-
ted by our patriotic ancestors. ,
They were detrauded Of the fruits of
that victory by false count ofthe cleo.
toral votes. That wrong casts upon
this generation the responsibility Of q
far greater question. TIE great duty
is to vindicate the right Of the people
to elective elfgovernment.
II the subversion of the elective sys-
tenn proves successful and prosperous,
those who are in power will count
themselves in at every election and
prolong their dominion indefinitely.
Such a question ought to be divested
of every personal aspect.
The wrongs to individuals becomes
Insignificant in comparison with the
crime against the people, against free
government and all the best hopes Of
mankind.

An Elephant 0n the RanIpare,

A number OF elephants belonging to
Bailey X Cooper's Circus were being
trained to draw large golden chariot,
at the headquarters of the circus, at
TEenty-third street and Ridge Avenue,
Philadelphia, yesterday afternoon, and
everything progressed satisfactorily
until Chieflian, the sixth animal, was
placed in the traces. He had been .x.
bibilipg signs of restiveness during the
day, and the novel position in which
he found himself excited him beyond
measure.
With elevated trunk and tail, h..
gave an uneartkly yell and darted mad
~ toward some sheds at the end of the
large open space. At this point there
were hundred or more attaches of the
circus employed, and when they found
the beast making for them they fled
precip'tately. Over piles of lumber
and debris went the elephant and the
vehicle, until finally the wagon struck
a brick building, which was seriously
damaged by the concussion. The men
rallied at this line, and after beating
the animal until he became docile
chained him and led him into shelter.

North Carolina Emsgranss,

Some time time ago party of five OF
six families Migrated to North Caro-
lima, amongst whom were n Mr.. Rutter
and Mr.. Robinson from the Brandy
wine Banks. Each of the families
named bought fifty acres of land at 81

proved land from the fact that upon
one of the tracts were 200 peach trees
and also some 200 apple trees.
This is remarkably low price for i'm

Report of the YellOW.Feyer Commission

The government experts appointed
Investigate the yellow-fever epidemic
Of 1873 have submitted long re-
port of the joint congressional commit
lee.
The report recommends that neces-
ary steps be taken by congress to
secure the cooperation Of the Spanish
and other foreign governments, through
an International commission or other
wise, in an earnest effort to ascertain
the causes or cause which perpetuate
Yellow fever from year to year in the
West India Island and to devise ways
UremOve the cause or causes or to les
Sen the chances Of transporting the
posOn to the United States or other
cgultries Yellow fever should be dealt
With as an enemy which imperils life
and cnpples commerce and industry.
The outline Of a system of quarantine
heretofore published is presented, the
object Of which is to afford the greatest
a.alnable degree of protection against
the introduction and spread of infec-
lions and epidemic diseases, and at the
same time intlict only the minimum of
injury and inconvenience upon COM
meTce. The carrying into effect of an
eihaent system of quarantine con-
templates a well-organized health de-
partment. The report takes the ground
that yellow fever is an imported disease,
and, as the aftluvum which emanates
rom the bodies of the dead may be as
'ocated with the infection, is recon-
mended that the bodies of persons who
die OF yellow fever be promptly buried,
ana that the assembling of persons at
funerals be discouraged. With the ex-
(cepuon of DR.. Louis A. Falligant, the
board voted for the report unanimously.
mat gentleman says: "Whilst indors-
ing fully the necessity of a well-regulat-
ca quarantine to protect the people of
ms country against exposure to the i'm
portation of infectious diseases from
abroad, and against the spread of SINH
@f diseases in our own midst, hold the
view that yellow fever may be develop
ca by indigenous as well as by import
ed poison"

question of strength between the adj

Bayard spoke one hour in ia

hour against. Several other senators
spoke on the question. The vote re-
suited as follows:
