The Ttlden campaign Is getting hot. The
New York Star tdem. anti T1lden) denounces
Gen. Ewing, OF Ohio, for entering into secret
negotiations with Tilden by which the latter
has agreed to contribute enough money to
"make Gen. Ew1ngs election in Ohio certain If
money can do 1t, ard to commence by contrI-
button Of $780, 900, which sum is said to have been
already paid over. Gen. Ewing on his part
pledged Mr.. Ttlden, In the event of his election
to throw all his influence In Ohio over to the
Tlden combination. The compact not only re-
quires that Ewing should aid Tilden to control
the Ohio delegation in the National Conven-
ton, but also, should that be found impossible,
to obtain delegation for himself and transfer
1t to T1lden, and at all hazards to freeze out
Thurman and Hendricks"
The New York paper charges also that Har-
~ Finley, "whO bought more votes, did more
dirty work, and disbursed more money for TIL
den In 1876 than any other man." is to be sent
to Ohio to do all In his power Ito debauch the
state for Ewtng's present success and for IT,
dens ultimate interest and ambition The
Star adds that If Ewing cannot promptly and
completely vindicate himself from the suSoi.
ciOns aroused by his mysterious Interviews
his career Is ended under cloud of diShonor
Altogether 1t is evident that the fight be-
tween Tflden and his party antagonists In New
York is war TO the knife.

Hon. Milton Sayler, who has just returned to
Ohio from New York, thinks Tilden will control
the vote OF New York state In the next National
Convention, and his view Of the general situa-
ton Is that Tilden may be set down as the can
didate OF the East and Thurman of the West.
with the South divided, but mainly In favor of
Tilden. Hendricks has active followers. So
has Hancock, who, In his judgment, may be-
come very prominent candidate, as may also
Justice Field, Of California. Bayard Is always
wen spoken OF and universally esteemed for his
high personal character, but his state Is too
small to give him strength; and his refusal to
allow his committee to report to the Senate the
warner silver bill, which passed the House,
coupled with his well-known extreme hard
money views, have done him great injury, e.
pecially in the West and Southwest.

Though it is fully established that the yellow
fever in Memphis has assumed an epidemic
form month earlier than it appeared there
last year 1T Is not believed there will In any
event be the same amount of fatality this year.
For one thing, there will be much less material
for the fever to work upon. A large proportion
of the people who Will remain there are fully
acclimated, or have had the fever. The others
are leaving the city rapidly, and few will re-
main who can get away. IL is thought, Also
that the sanitary precautions taken will serve
to check the progress of the disease. The city
is much more Clearly than on the outbreak OF
the disease last year.

The WINDOW BOOM

The STARS report of the WOrmley Hotel con-
ference and OF the remarks made by senator
Conkling naming Senator Window as being
probably the most available republican presi-
dental candidate has attracted no little atten.
ton, and the drift Of the comment has not been
unfayorable to the candidacy Of Mr.. Window,
though the first mention of his name In that
com ection was rather a surprise. Mr.. Window,
1t is stated. treats the idea with levty, but &C.
cording to the Winona (Minn.) Republican of
Thursday It is one seriously entertained In
prominent republican circles. Quoting the
statement OF the STAR, that paper says, "this
story was not entirely new to a number of
prominent people In Washington when 1t ap-
peaIed in print, and there is good authority for
saying 1t is substantially true" The Republican
(Which is edited by the postmaster at
Winona) proceeds to point out the argu-
ments in favor of Mr.. Window, - his
freedom from personal antagOniSm within the
party; his clean record; his great popularity
among the republicans OF the south; his intelli-
gent conception OF the Industrial questions of
the country, and his straight record as repub-
1ican. SuppoSing that his candidacy Is backed
by Mr.. Conkiing and the Empire state, the
probabilities for nomination are set down in
the following order: 1st, his own state and con-
tingents from other states of the northwest;
I'd, majority of the south; Sd, New York,
after complimentary votes for COnkling; 4th,
scattering. The Republican adds: ''Of course
the question Is problematic one at best, and
it Is not advisable to get excited over 1t as yet
The st. Paurs correspondent Of the n. Y. Times
whites July 10:
No other leading paper has yet expressed
itself upon the matter, but the declaration OF
the Republican has set people talking Senator
Window had quite an enthusiastic reception
when he returned home the other day The
public sentiment has expressed itself in 1ndi-
rect ways. and the feeling among republicans
is uniformly favorable to him. Nevertheless,
there is slight incredulity In the public mind
growing out OF an undOubted underestimate of
Senator WINDOWS usefulness and capacity
Still, Ii his candidacy were once to become gen.
orally recognized as serious, there is ne doubt
that Minnesota would present his name in the
next National Convention with considerable
emphasis and pers1Stency.D

1t is noticed as indicative of the attention
which is being dire tied toward sanitary SUBJ
1ectS that the NeSJOrS OF the medical profession
and the leading medical journals now pronounce
public and personal hygiene to be the leading
question OF the time. DIR. Samuel D. Gross
closed his Grafton delivered at the dedication of
McDowells monument In Kentucky by saying
that the great question Of the day is not this
operation or that, but preventive medicine the
hygiene OF our persons, our dwellings, our
streets" Dr. John 8. Billings, In his late ad-
dress before the American Medical Association,
urged the necessity that medical men should
acquire accurate scientific knowledge upon the
subject OF public hygiene, to enable them TO
give helping hand TO sanitary progress The
Medical Journal takes similar grounds, and the
Sanitary Engineer, treating upon the general
subject, says:
" III Is unfortunate that so few ply sic.an5 re-
duZe lie practical necessity OF sanitary study

THE MURDERER GLASS CHARGES HIS FATE
TO STRONG DRINK AND BAD WOMEN.
Charley Glass, calling j. B. Alexander,
who is in the cell with him, under charge
of horse stealing, to act as his amanuensis,
writes the following letter to his son:
CAIRO, H., Aug. 0, 1870.
My Dear Son Charley;
1t is indeed heartrendlng to me to reveal
to you the sad news which this letter COP
tains. My dear son, 1t is this: Your poor,
dear father has been sentenced to be hung
on the 10th day of September next, for
committing murder. Now, my dear son,
all that | can do at this critical time, is to
advise you to steer afar from the wicked
paths Of this life, which your poor father
has for so long time Travelled to his sor-
row, and which has brought him to suffer
the dreadful penalty Of the law, which Is
drawing so near. Above all things, my
dear boy, never allow yourself to get in the
habit of keeping the company of bad wo-
men and drinking whisky. OF all evils
these are by far the greatest,
and will sooner or later bring any man to
ruin who follows them Your Aunt Becky
told me time and again that bad women
would cause my life to be taken But lit
tie did think that she was speaking the
fatal word. Tell your Aunt Becky that |
am trying to prepare to meet my God, and
do sincerely hope and trust that by the
earnest prayers Of myself my friends and
above all, the grace of our Almighty God,
through Jesus Christ, our redeemer, may
be saved.
Now, my dear son, | do hope that this
may be sufficient warning for you never to
live the lite your poor father has, but 1--we a
Christian life, and try to make a good and
useful man Of yourself. Tell your Aunt
Becky | would be glud if she would bring
you over to see me before the day of execu-
ton. would be glad to see any of
my friends | hcrewithin bid all my friends,
white or black, final adicu, and implorc
them never to do as have done. May God
ever bless and be with you all, is the earn
est prayer of Your DEVOTED Father,
CHAs. GLASS.
p. S.-Please hand this to Mr.. Ike Smith
and ask him to fcad it at church in the
