Of the great parties in the House Of Representatives
are ENJOYING themselves over the ridiculous ending
of the Greenbac party in the House of Representa-
tivcs. In their final vote for the Army bill this
omnibus load Of men who have been threatening to
move the world abandoned their own agreement
among themselves and failed to carry out any Of
the declarations they were lavish in prcclaming
after their caucus.
As it now turns out, all tho talk they have in
dulccd in, followed by the balancing positions
which they have taken in speeches on the floor Of
the House has been mainly the nature OF threat,
designed to influence Democrats to give them
Mondays session for the introduction OF their
various insane bills for National relief. Some of
them. in fact, took pains to announce that their
caucus decision to go against attaching political
legislation upon appropriation bills was for the pur-
nose of paving Democrats for refusing session last
Monday. BY this course they supposed they would
be able az least 10 make themselves felt since the
Democrats would if the GTecnbackcrs mad voted
with the Republicans, have been Obliged 10 keep
every ia his place IN order to secure the passage
of the Army bill and retain the political section

belief that vote with the Democrats would induce
the controlling party in the House to agree to a
session tomorrow, these nOndescrpts IN politics,

YELLOW FEVER.

During the earlier part of this
week the Memphis papers reported
that there had been no new cases
of yellow fever, four of the six ca
SEES reported last. week had termi-
mated fatally, and the excitement
and fear regarding an epidemic had
subsidized. Many OF the towns raised
their quarantines, and the whole
country felt relieved and grateful
bat dispatches of Thursday reports
ed five new cases of the disease in
Memphis, and again our people are
filled with fear and apprehension.
The most rigid attention should he
given to sanitary measures, and
every means of prevention should
be promptly applied. Meanwhile
the good people among us should
pray sedulously that it be the Lords
will, to let this cup pass. Another
epidemic would result in almost
total destruction to the material
interests of this section, as well as
the decentralization of the people.
The writer has an abiding convic.
ton that the Master OF Mercies will
not again inf1ict this calamity upon
our land.

Hon. ETHEL BARKSDALE, judg-
ing from the tone of the press, is by
long odds the choice of tkpeople
of central and south Mht 5d for
the United States Senk49 Major
Barksdale has many warm and ar
dent supporters in this county.
There is no man i'm the State who
has done more to redeem MISSISSIPPI
pi from carpetblg and scalawag
rule than Major Barksdale. He is
politically one of the best posted
men in the State, a statesman of the
purest water, gentleman of rare
intellect, a powerful and eloquent
tlebater, q Democrat tried and true !;
he merits the confidence of his peo-
pie, and if elected to the Q. s. Sem
ate, be will represent the interests
and wishes OF his constituents.
The foregoing is from the Nc
Comb City Inteltigencer, and all that
it says regarding Major Barksdale's
many noble qualities of head and
heart, we applaud to the very echo.
Barring our own bonored and re-
vered Representative, there is no
man whose election to the Senate
would afford us such sincere graft
fcation as that of Ethel Barksdale,
